We're nowhere, nowhere at all
So fill my cup, make me happen
Fill it up, make me smile
Fill my cup, give me a reason
A reason to feel alright
Don't you worry, sweet darling

Once upon a time, not too long ago, we took a day out in Manchester
We all fall down, there's not enough hours in our day
Played a bit of football, fell in to the union, barged our way to the toilet
With the Kung Fu king, there's not enough hours in our day
I remember seeing someone dressed in a suit looking like a lunatic
And we all fall down, there's not enough hours in our trip
*Well, academy cartwheel's breakin' your hands
We got lovely posters for sale
And we all fall down, there's not enough hours in our day
We like lovin yeah, and the wine we share
We like lovin yeah, and the wine we share
Finally made our way back to the train, rolling in to Sheffield tonight
And we all fall down, there's not enough hours in our life
So try and guess my weight and wait at the station
We're whippin Picadilly tonight
And it all falls down, there not enough hours in our life
We like lovin yeah, and the wine we share
We like lovin yeah, and the wine we share

Mr. Jones, you've been wasted before
Rest your head on this dirty old floor
And everybody's mind turned to what they knew before
And everybody's mind turned off
¡¡
I love my life on Mars
It has a side of perfect slumber
Just like a lucky charm
Keeps the nights from mornings after
And though I find it hard
I might say with a gay abandon
Girl, we got it all
A room with a view of the rings of Saturn
Girl, we got it all
Come spend your life on Mars
If you taste it, la la la, don't waste it, la la la
If you have the thing, you've always desired
Don't break it, la la la
If you crave her, la la la, don't waster her, la la la
If you have the one, you've always desired
Don't break her, la la la
I said you waste her, you waster
My mind may go astray
But that don't mean that you should follow
This road to Mandalay
Where you might drown when the water's shallow
And though you'll find it hard
You might add with a gay abandon
Now, girl, we got it all
On Santa Monica Boulevard
Girl, we got it all
Come hang on the Boulevard
If you taste it, la la la, don't waste it, la la la
If you have the one, you've always desired
Don't break it, la la la
If you crave her, la la la, enslave her, la la la
If you have the one, you've always desired
Don't break her, la la la
I said you waste her, you waster
If you taste it, la la la, don't waste it, la la la
If you find the thing, you've always admired
Don't break it, la la la
If you crave her, la la la, enslave her, la la la
If you find the one, you've always desired
Don't break her, la la la
I said you waste her, you waster
(La la la, la la la, la la la, la la la)
You waster, you waster
I've been touched now, I don't believe it
Movin' much closer now, here's my touch
Now please receive it
Let's do some more touchin' up
Let's do some more touchin' up
Well, he got sings to sing you
Made me feel good when the others didn't
And he got everything now
Made me come back when the others didn't
Uh huh, ooh ooh
Know your mind, there's something quite familiar in your eyes
Know your mind, there's something quite familiar
Something quite familiar
Coming around the bend, coming around the bend
Stay out on your own
Made me feel good when the others didn't
Stay out on your own
Made me come back when the others didn't
Stay out on your own
Made me feel good when the others didn't
Stay out on your own
Made me come back when the others didn't

We came, we came, we came again
To stem the tide and point the blame
Came back for more
Came back to see what you had in store
Everyone join the line, everyone
So you wanna spin the world around?
So you wanna spin the world around?
And anybody else
So you wanna make catastrophe?
Why don't ya sail right over to me
I got some time
The same, the same, the same again
To steal the time and haunt the graves
Just because it's there
Don't mean you see it anyway
Maybe it's a trick of the light
Maybe.....
Yeah... So you wanna spin the world around?
So you wanna spin the world around?
And anybody else

Do you ever stop and wonder
Where you'd be without her
Do you listened, do you listened, do you listened
To what she said to you
The sound of sounds ain't lightning
The whisper, the promise, the solace
Of where you're lead to me
Yeah
The sound of sounds ain't lightning
Yeah
Her sound of sounds ain't lightning
Have you forgotten who you are
(Have you forgotten who you are)
Have you forgotten who you are
(Have you forgotten who you are)
Could you ever stop and wonder
Could you live without her
The sound of sounds ain't lightning
Yeah
The sound of sounds ain't lightning
Yeah
The sound of sounds ain't lightning
Yeah, yeah
(The sound of sounds ain't lightning)
The sound of sounds ain't lightning
I've been caught in a trap I set for myself
I don't want to be here when you could be somewhere else
So why'd I sit on my hands like a book on a shelf
Where nothing but dust is falling?
Everyone 'round here lives in silence
If I had something to say I'd say what I mean
How'd you lose all your words? I swear it's obscene, I curse
How'd you look at yourself as the mirror turns green?
Yeah, only the fools ignore us
Everyone 'round here lives in silence
I could wait all my life for someone to think
I can't open your eyes but I can make you blink at me
So please don't try to be nice, don't need your advice
Please leave me to die of boredom
Everyone 'round here lives in silence
Silence
(They wait for the end)
Silence
(They bow and they bend)
Silence
(Their homes they defend)
There's a dog in the stew
As gratan as blues
Some creaky old muse
Whose dice are fallin
Nuweiba sand flew
So stay out of view
And tear out a pew
As Cairo Callin away
I'm not as prego as you
Caprese eel brew
As play out as twos
And losin my cruiser
Some mustard to chew
As a lebanese druse
So easy to bruise
With pedros drawing
One hit and we're down
We're callin in the hounds
Let's get out of this down
But one hit and we're down....
....I'm not as dajon as you
It's a skeleton view
Is a rotten old dude
For assibyn hues
We paintin lifestyles
With weird tattoos
As korsican tombs
I'm not as dajon as you
With wayward flugels
Blowin into town
One hit and we're down
Courtin in the hounds
One hit and we're down....
....I'm not as dajon as you
..I'm not as dajon as you
Put all the west side on the east side
Put all the east side on the west side
¡¡
Well hey, how's tricks man
Think I seen you before
Blank blank do you
You looked a lot older
You been workin' out
What's wrong with that
Well he came back and
Came marching in
Shot, shot to the
He found a good reason
Do it for the money
What's wrong with that
Control your bad side in to peril
We come down
Hold the line
You're so fine
Dead wrong
So please stop talking
Start puckering up
My ears are blank
It's the special occasions
You do it for the money
Can't go wrong with that
Explode or capsize
Provide my poet
If you're down
Tow the line
You're so fine
[repeated wah-wah-wackity-wahs fading in]
BA-BA BA-BA-BA-BA BA BA BA BA BA-BA

Since I was a child
I was chased like a demon out of town
Born the second child
Of a leg, leg, legless hound
And I am gonna follow you around
And I am gonna follow you around
Yeah, I
I'm eagerly adopted
By the darkest atmosphere
Playin' in the playground
With [Incomprehensible] others, yeah
And I am gonna follow you around
And I am gonna follow you around
Yeah, I
And I am gonna follow you around
And I am gonna follow you around
And I am gonna follow you around
And I am gonna follow you around
Heaven knows, Lord, I've been crying
Heaven knows, Lord, I've been longing for an answer
intro
You can write your tunes with rhythm and blues as your alibi
You can sell your soul and lay the blame on the passers-by
You shake your body on the TV screen
It seems to me, you'd try anything twice
And swing it out and use it as your aphrodisiac
You can give it to me, to me
Plain to see that I'll give it you back
You let it flow, let it go, there's nothing to it
Anyone can try anything twice, try anything twice
Chasing after stories that have already been told
Cannot look old Son House in the eyes
I know where you carry such a fragile load
But I've got yours, and you've got mine
It's a rhythm and blues alibi
instrumental
La la la la la la la la la la laaa..
You can take a trip through your juke joint smoke-filled paradise
You can give it your all, 'cause you are walking a fine, fine line, la
You shake your booty on the TV screen
Seems to me, you'd try anything twice
You'd try anything twice
Well let me hear you now..
Chasing after stories that have already been told,
Couldn't I look old sunhouse in the eyes,
I know where you carry such a fragile load,
And I've got yours, you've got mine
It's a rhythm and blues alibi
La la la la la etc.
fade out
Bust up
No trust
Getting along
Best get clean, get on
She's gone, I'm gone
Ruff stuff
Something's wrong
Best get clean, get on
I'm spending all her money
On the best that I can buy
So I'm locked up
Trussed up
Shackles on
Best get clean for her
Jittery soup
Stuffed turkey
Cold cop
Best get clean for her
I'm hot and feeling funny
I'm sweating to get dry
Darling
(Come back!)
I've given up fags and drugs now baby
Darling
(Come back!)
I've had enough of the ruff stuff, baby
Darling
(Come back!)
Been hangin' round in smack bogs, baby
Darling
(Come back!)
I've given up fags and drugs now baby
Leave your fever, breather
Get off
Get off
Get on
Feeling weak
Downbeat
Two weeks of two
Need help for her
I'm sick with paranoia
It's the most that I can do
Hot meal
Warm bath
On my feet
Got it beat for you
Take a look
Early nights
Good books
Cook and clean for you
So go and call your mother
'Cause she's been using too
Darling
(Come back!)
I've given up fags and drugs now baby
Darling
(Come back!)
I've had enough of the ruff stuff, baby
Darling
(Come back!)
Been hangin' round in smack bogs, baby
Darling

From a tree upside down
Fever, fever

I guess in time we'll all return to the scene
Awake the old dog in me.
Our love was blind, a love unpretentious and free
Our love was blind, but now my love's leavin' me
Today or tonight you will see
I've got a hopeless memory
that you'll remember me
do not waste your sympathy
it all runs off of me
Though the wind blows you've drawn its call from my sins
God knows rainbows but you seem only too pale
A little or nothing prevails
I've got a timeless melody
that I sing out of key
do not waste your energy
it all runs off of
Me, and you, and everybody X2
Someday you'll say I wish you were here in my arms
til then I'll pray that you'll submit to my charms
Always keep safe from harm
Always keep safe from harm
I've got a loveless melody
so please remember me
do not waste your sympathy
it all runs off of
Me, and you, and everybody X2
Keep on kickin' shit
Keep runnin' off the rails
Keep on pickin' the dirt
From 'neath your fingernails
'Cause I'm not worried
About your state of mind
'Cause you're not the revolutionary kind
Keep on in the jungle
With your techno-cality
Keep on lapping up
Your chemical duty-free
'Cause I'm not worried
About your state of mind
'Cause you're not the revolutionary kind
Keep on twistin', turnin'
Staring down the sun
Keep on dancin', dancin'
Dance with everyone
You're not the revolutionary kind
You're not the revolutionary kind
You're not the revolutionary kind
I've been lost and now found my way
Take me down and save, show me the way
Take me places that I want to stay
Here's to today, here's to today
I've been knocked but now I'm on my feet
Call or light up whenever I get in this deep
Take me places that I know from sleep
Let me sleep, let me sleep
Head out and fade out
Keep on the light on, turn it up
Head out and fall down now
Keep the light on and turn it up
I don't, cannot live with things you say
Guys don't want you to let it go anyway
Wake me tenderly and leave me to lay
Let me sleep, let me sleep
Head out and fade out
Keep the light on, turn it up
Head out and fall down now
Keep the light on and turn it up
Here's to today
Here's to today
Here's to today
Chinese symbols on his robe
Never gonna match up with that smile
He's wearing mostly black and gold
It's been twelve days
The longest for a while
He's been fortunate
He can't tell a lie
Redheads, blondes, brunettes
They all fall for his lines
He's been king now for so long
His days are numbered
Times have changed, so move along
The dream is over
Draped across Egyptian linen
Even Cleopatra casts an eye
A gossamer see-through zipped up tracksuit
Champagne bottle, ten o'clock on fire
He's been fortunate
He cannot deny
Jacuzzi baronet
With soap suds in his eyes
He's been king now for so long
His days are numbered
Times have changed, so move along
The dream is over
He's been king now for so long
His days are numbered
Times have changed, so move along
The dream is over
We've been waiting for so long
We think it's over

Good bye Lauren Lee, my precious Lauren Lee has gone
Gone so far away, now won't be back today or tomorrow
Good bye Lauren Lee, my precious Lauren Lee has gone out
But is he away with the fairies, is he away with me?
Take him away, it's free, I play anywhere I choose
Did he get into the sequel, how is Leno these days?
Take it away, 'cause I don't care whether we win or lose
Yeah, whether we win or lose
All my chips are down, my precious chips are almost gone
Find a better caller, dealer man without a son
Put it all on one, I feel like number one is on now
But is he away with the fairies, is he away with me?
Take him away, it's free, I play anywhere I choose
Did he get into the sequel, how is Leno these days?
Take it away, 'cause I don't care whether we win or lose
Yeah, whether we win or lose
Good bye Lauren Lee, my precious Lauren Lee has gone out

The first words that came could've been more inspired
You must be hungry or tired or frozen
So put up your feet, throw some coal on the fire
And weave us a tale of delight
So we sit in our gun and we wait for our turn
We'll be waiting all of the night
So we sit in our gun and we wait for our turn
We'll be waiting all of our lives
We're all to blame
We hide away
Let's take the sand from this bottomless pit
It's hell to pay
So run away
Destroy on command all who came and then quit
It's been carefully planned by the ones you won't see
Send out the monkeys, they come out of the bushes
To piss in the punch and then smash up the decks
It's your party, we're all obliged
So we sit in our gun and we wait for our turn
I think you hurt him, there's blood on the floor
So we sit in our gun, can I ask what you're on?
If you made it there's hope for us all
We're all to blame
We hide away
Let's take the sand from this bottomless pit
There's hell to pay
So run away
Destroy on command all who came and then quit
You're all the same
So hide away

*Love is better than a warm trombone, when blown, softly by a two tone, brother
*Down on luck by chance, caress her head off at the boogaloo trance
With his hands in his pocket he could not lie
With his hands in his pocket he began to cry
With his hands in his pocket he lowered his eye
*He said Miss I guess I ought to apologise, I've been fallin, I'm falling down
The river of your lovelorn souls is getting deeper than the deepest dish washing
bowl
*Now brother get the dirt off your hands, it's getting darker than a
sun-chaser's the sun tan
With his hands in his pockethe could not lie
With his hands in his pockethe began to cry
With his hands in his pockethe lowered his eyes
*He said Miss, I guess I ought to apologise, I've been fallin, I'm falling
down
With his hands in his pockethe began to cry
With his hands in his pockethe could not lie

In the shape of a heart

Where they'll appreciate me
Goin' out west

Holding me down
Turning me round
Filling me up with your rules.

It's getting better all the time
I've got to admit it's getting better,
It's getting better since you've been mine.

I'm doing the best that I can
I admit it's getting better,

Well, how do you do?
Do you like the look of me and you together?
So take me out
Spill a little drink on your lap and
She said to me so deep inside
Well, I'm thinkin' that I'm an extra special guy
Takin' it all with an extra pinch of salt
My friends seem to think that I'm the one now
You're only teasin' me now
I'm not so laid back that I wouldn't try
Well, how do you do?
Would you like me to?
I'm not suggestin'b that I want you, but

Are you made outta stone?
Or are you made outta gold?
I'll be no clearer
When I'm wrinkled an' old
When I'm wrinkled an' old
She said to me so deep inside
Well, I'm thinkin' that I'm an extra special guy
Takin' it all with an extra pinch of salt
My friends seem to think that I'm the one now
You're only teasin' me now
I'm not so laid back that I wouldn't drive you home
You're only teasin' me now
Red old eyes, now where you from
You catch me every day
Colours hide not even song
It's all been washed away
Sun stop going down
Come out again
Stop fading out
Awake again
Sun stop going down
Stop going down
Blues old face, you finally come around
And talking in your sleep
Buried secrets and fiery showdowns
Lost days inbetween
It's all the same
Let it go before it gets too late
Don't play our game
Sun stop going down
Come out again
Stop fading out
Awake again
Sun stop going down
Stop going down
Sun is going down
Come out again
Don't feel so proud
Get straight again

I love this island but this island's killing me
Sitting here in silence, man I don't get no peace
The waves upon my shore take me away piece by piece
Gonna leave everything I know gonna head out towards the sea
Jump off this island gonna head out towards the sea
I love this city man but this city's killing me
Sitting here in all this noise man I don't get no peace
The cars below my street take me away piece by piece
Gonna leave everything I know gonna head out towards the sea
Gonna leave this city man, gonna head out towards the sea
Get miles away, get miles away, get miles away
Get miles
I love this planet but this planet's killin' me
Sitting here in all this grass man I don't get no weed
The sweat comin' from my pores take me away piece by piece
Gonna leave everything I know gonna head to the galaxy
Gonna leave this planet man, gonna head to the galaxy
Get miles away, get miles away, get miles away, get miles away, get miles away,
get miles away, get miles away
Get miles
*'around' to 'along'*
I am free to run, I walk slowly along
I'm everyone, walking slowly along
I walk slowly along
And I've been walking far too long
Drag my feet like everyone
Always wanted to run away but walk slowly along
I feel so tired
Wanna sit here for a while,
I can see it in your smile
Come sit here, let's hold for a while
I've been walking far too long
Drag my feet like everyone
Always wanted to run away but walk slowly along

Help, help, help, help
Someone call the doctor, I think I'm goin' blind
My old periodic gnosis is bleeding from my eyes
Someone better help me the plot is hotting up

It really hurts, it really hurts, it really hurts
Help, help, help, help

As soon as we arrived I expressed my concern,
I might have known I should, should have learned,
Faded photos, a fool at each turn,
It seemed to me this trip, that we have been burned.
Find me some time, to find a way out of here,
I'd be inclined to walk my way home,
Find me a plane, I'll fly my way out of here,
We were so blind to come here at all.
Along came insomnia,
As if this week wasn't dragging on enough,
One might reflect upon a me
It was such a relief to leave this ride on and on.
Find me some time, to find away out of here,
I'd be inclined to walk my way home,
Find me a plane, I'll fly my way out of here,
We were so blind to come here at all.
No way out
No way out
No way out for me, and the girl.
Find me some time, to find away out of here,
I'd be inclined to walk my way home,
Find me a plane, I'll fly my way out of here,
We were so blind to come here at all.
Find me some time, to find away out of here,
I'd be inclined to walk my way home,
Buy me a plane and I'll fly my way outta here,
We were so blind.
I wish I could cry on demand,
Boo Hoo, Boo Hoo
Given all these troubles on my mind,
The tears won't come out.
I've been shaking, shaking in my boots
Every time I hear my telephone ring
It can't possibly be you,
You never call,
Not since my little accident.
I didn't mean to cause any trouble
I didn't know we were so serious
Yeah, I didn't mean to burst our bubble
It can only float for so long
Now I realise, I realise they were wrong,
'cos what happens in Vegas,
Don't take very long,
To travel accross continents,
And onwards overseas,
Onto our little island,
To our city, our home,
I didn't mean to cause any trouble
I didn't know we were so serious
Yeah, I didn't mean to burst our bubble
It could only float for so long
Sometimes I wish, I could cry on demand

Wake up butterfly
The sun's fallen down
The clouds are rollin' over
And we still got many miles to go
From winter days come starless nights
The constellations frown
And when the Heavens start to open
Even monkeys gonna need a coat
And the masterpiece slipped through my hand
Stole a car and drove to a foreign land
The man with the camera said
He'd seen it all before, uh huh
And Opus 49's to blame
From moon illusion Buena Vista in flames
The man with the camera said
Nice try butterfly
Wake up butterfly
The sun's fallen down
The wind is blowin' backwards
And it's openin' the eye of the storm
The spiders circuit
Spinnin' out on the ground
They're wishin' they were younger
There's a little bit of that in us all
Down, take it down
Take it down
There's a little bit of that in us all
Yeah, come on and bring it around
Bring me round
There's a little bit of that in us all
The masterpiece slipped through my hand
Stole a car and drove to a foreign land
The man with the camera said
He'd seen it all before, uh huh
And Opus 49's to blame
From moon illusion Buena Vista in flames

Black eyed dog calling at my door
Black eyed dog calling ot for more
Black eyed dog he knows my name

Grown old and don't knoew
Grown up I wanna go home
And so we ride on
The ballad of nice and easy
Young and carefree
We're coming along
The ballad of nice and easy
Young and carefree
Two of these kids grew up on the same street
And though some folks blow it, there's no smoke in their eyes
They're tying their dreams with doubled up laces
Falling, free falling, tangled up 'til they die
And so we ride on
The ballad of nice and easy
Young and carefree
We're coming along
The ballad of nice and easy
Young and carefree
'Cause everyone knows they'll get their hands dirty
Ripping at seams and smoking hot knives
But sooner or later there's an end to this candle
We'll burn it at both ends and switch on the light
So we ride on
The ballad of nice and easy
Young and carefree
We're coming along
The ballad of nice and easy
Young and carefree
And so we ride on
The ballad of nice and easy

Who's going to go the bar?
Who's going to go the bar?
'Cause now I'm long, long gone I'm going to be gone for good
I don't want to scare you
Something's hanging over my head
Something's hanging over my head
¡¡
I'm gonna walk
I'm gonna walk down to the sea
And then I'll swim
Then I'll swim until I see you
I'm going to a place that winds
And I'll climb a mountainside
And I'll be there
I will be there just in time
Wham Bam!
I hope to meet you
Wham Bam!
I hope to meet you, baby
Goddamn!
I hope to meet you
Wham Bam!
I'd like to thank you, ma'am
Well, alright
I'm gonna crawl
I'm gonna crawl down on my knees
And like a snake
I'm gonna slither through the reeds
I'll leave a trail
Yeah, I'll leave a trail of chimes
And if you see me
If you seek then you will find
Wham Bam!
I'm gonna meet you
Wham Bam!
I'm gonna meet you, baby
Goddamn!
I'm gonna meet you
Wham Bam!
I'd like to thank you.. ma'am
Well, alright
I'm gonna dig
I'm gonna dig until I bleed
I'll get so deep
Get so deep, I'll plant my seed
I'm gonna mine
I'm gonna mine 'til I'm out of time
But when I strike
Yeah, I'll strike and then we'll find
Wham Bam!
I'm bound to meet you

(Talking clock: It's eleven oh seven pee em)
Won't you set me up and show me how, it's getting late
All these people around me wear me out, can't concentrate
But it's certainly the best in the town
For today, everybody's getting down
Caught in a crossfire, nobody cares
Under the table and calling your name
Won't you tie me up and seal my mouth with gaffer tape
Because these people around, people all the time
It's not the same, not the same
But you're certainly the best in the town
Don't walk away, everybody's getting down
Everybody's getting down
Caught in a crossfire, but nobody cares
Under the table and calling your name
Through champagne and perfume, I'll see you again
See you again
Everybody's getting down
Everybody's getting down
Everybody's getting down
Everybody's getting down
Everybody's getting down

Pick up the pieces and we'll throw them away
Throw them away and replace them
Bring on the blues now, and we'll chase them away
Chase them away, celebration
All that I want is for you to be there when I call
And after all I know you will be there
You'll be there after all
Bring on the band now, set them playing away
And if they stay, well then embrace them
Bring on the people, we can dance and we'll play
Let's dance the night away, celebration
All that I want is for you to be here when I fall
And after all I know you will be here
You'll be here after all
There's only one thing it can be
There's only one thing it can be
There's only one thing it can be

I'm just mad about my old school shirt
Lapels they are embossed
With the name of all the kids in that old city school
Now, all those kids are lost
Them kids are lost, they are lost
I'm just mad about that old radio
The tunes that it used to play
How come you ain't singing now?
Well, did our voices get away?
Well, did they get away, get away?
I'll be shooting holes in the sky
To make it rain, make it the same
Shooting holes in the sky
Once again
I'm just mad about all those people
Who came but did not stay
They sit so quietly in my memories
Gone but not unmade
Shooting holes in the sky
To make it rain, make it the same
Shooting holes in the sky
Once again
Shooting holes in the sky
To make it rain, make it the same
Shooting holes in the sky
Once again
Caught in a headlock
I want it the same
Caught in a headlock
I want it to be the same
Caught in a headlock
I want it to be the same
Caught in a headlock
I want it to be the same again

Baby, put your hand up
You wanna be with someone you can't afford to be
Lay your head with me
I'm too lazy to put my hand up
I wanna be somewhere I can't afford to stay, no
Let me drive you away
Go, because lately, we're going through a run of bad luck
She's going crazy, she only thinks the worst about us
I said please, please, please chill out
Ain't exactly easy for me
Or in that case for you
Lay your head with me
Lately, I put my hand up
I had to do something I couldn't afford to do
But it's no longer up to you
It would be lazy, put your hand up
You wanna be somewhere you can't afford to stay now
Let me drive you away
Oh, because lately, been going through a run of bad luck
She's going crazy, she only thinks the worst about us
I said please, please, please chill out
Ain't exactly easy for me
Or in that case for you
When I look back now things have changed
With patience, thought and restraint
I never thought it would go
Lay your head with me
Lay your head with me
Ooh, because lately, been going through a run of bad luck
She's going crazy, she only thinks the worst about us
I said please, please, please chill out
It ain't exactly easy for me

Caught a flight full of drugs
Shoot straight out of here
Touching down just in time
Crawl straight into you
And if all the fallen graces ride
And we found the diamonds in disguise
I've been wasting most of my time
But I carry on
Today we're a zip, we're lonely and blue
And tired
When Mojave are playing it down
We'll go out again
Aerial land
And if all the fallen dead majors rise
And we found the annual quid for flight
But I've been wasting most of my time
And I can't get along
Today we're crazy, we're lonely and blue
And tired
Flight

Hello
Feel much better on hashish or ephedrine
Feel much better when I'm smoking a lot
Feel much better on acid or mescaline
Feel much better though somebody's not
In their kitchens and ballrooms
And boardrooms with chairs
They'd have to pile them to the ceiling
For someone to get high
And everybody wants to know
Everybody singing
If you really need to know
Everybody cry
Everybody wants to know
Everybody singing why
Lord, try and sober this old tribe
Oh, goodbye
Feel much better on meths or on Windolene
Feel much better when I've had my line
Feel much better on amyl or ketamine
Feel much better though somebody's not
When they're hepped up and paranoid
With lithium lights
They'll have to drop an ebenezer
To get a first class flight
Now, everybody wants to know
Everybody singing
If you really need to know
Everybody cry
Everybody wants to know
Everybody singing why
Lord, try and sober this old tribe
La da da da..
Oh, here we go again
Feel much better on Night Nurse, amphetamine
Prozac is better, Viagra I got
Feel much better, paracetamol and codeine
Feel much better on heat, I get hot
With wine gums and diesel
Pot noodle or fries
I'd rather die from emphysema
Than learn to just get by
And everybody wants to know
Everybody singing
If you really need to know
Everybody cry
Everybody wants to know
Everybody singing why
Lord, try to stay sober in this tribe
Okay, if that's the way you feel

Wakin' up at nine
Looks at his paper
Can't deal with what he sees
All the troubled lives
The talk of the ages
He's crawling back to bed
Don't take a walk outside
Don't make any new friends
He's crawling back to bed
You'd better convince me man
'Cause I, I don't know what I'm doing
You'd better convince me man
'Cause I, I don't know who I'm screwing
You'd better convince me man
'Cause I, I don't know what I'm doing
You'd better convince me man
'Cause I, I don't know who I'm screwing
Callin' all his friends
He's known 'em for ages
Can't deal with what they say
Connective alibis
Cold and contagious
He's crawling back to bed
So cut off the phone lines
Stock up on water
He's crawling back to bed
You'd better convince me man
'Cause I, I don't know what I'm doing
You'd better convince me man
'Cause I, I don't know who I'm screwing

She had perfect eyes
That's all she had
And in the these perfect skies
Makes you glad
She has alibis
And they're not bad
And in these perfect skies
Makes you sad

Makes you sad

She had perfect eyes
That's all she had
And in the these perfect skies
Makes you glad
We're all here on faith
The air tastes bad
Far from perfect skies Is all you had

Makes you sad

Take my time dear,
(it's all yours)
As the Earth goes round the Sun.
Life takes some fighting,
(and it leaves scars)
And it keeps us on the run.
This is a game I'm longing to play
But I stumble at the start
If there's nothing, (tear our love apart)
If this is just a lie, (tear our love apart)
There's still nowhere I would rather be
(tear our love apart)
Now hold on tight
I'm not frightened,
And you keep me safe from harm
I'm not enlightened,
(Can't reach the stars)
But I'm closer in your arms
There is a flame that flickers and sways
But it knows why we're apart
If there's nothing, (tear our love apart)
If this is just a lie, (tear our love apart)
There's still nowhere I would rather be
(tear our love apart)
If there's nothing, (tear our love apart)
No place, no time, (tear our love apart)
There's still nowhere I would rather be
(tear our love apart)
Now hold on tight
There's nothing to blame,
To get in our way
Or tear our love apart
If we're in the same place,
It won't matter where we are
If there's nothing, (tear our love apart)
If this is just a lie, (tear our love apart)
There's still nowhere I would rather be
(tear our love apart)
If there's nothing, (tear our love apart)
If there's nothing, (tear our love apart)
If there's nothing, (tear our love apart)
Day to day
Where do you want to be?
'Cos now you're trying to pick a fight
With everyone you need
You seem like a soldier
Who's lost his composure
You're wounded and playing a waiting game
In no-man's land no-one's to blame
See the world
Find an old fashioned girl
And when all's been said and done
It's the things that are given, not won
Are the things that you earned
Empty handed, surrounded by a senseless scene
With nothing of significance
Besides a shadow of a dream
You sound like an old joke
You want out, a bit broke
An' askin me time and time again
And the answer's still the same
See the world
Find an old fashioned girl
And when all's been said and done
It's the things that are given, not won
Are the things that you earned
You've got a chance to put things right
So how's it going to be?
Lay down your arms now
And put us beyond doubt
So reach out it's not too far away
Don't mess around now, don't delay
I stopped tryin' to write the things I don't like
And I started goin' back to where I'd been before
She said "I don't blame you I'd do the same"
Opportunity knocks knocks knocks open the door
But I think she saw through it
I see through myself
Another chance gone, won't get many more
But I'm not the only guy I know that
I'm not the only guy I know that
You never notice
The only guy I know, well I'm not the only guy I know
That you never notice
I stopped tryin' to write the things I don't like
And I started goin' back to where I'd been before
She said "I don't blame you I'd do the same"
Opportunity knocks knocks knocks open the door
But I think she saw through it
I see through myself
Another chance gone, won't get many more
But that's not the only lie I told you
That's not the only lie I told you
You never notice
The only lie I told you, that's not the only lie I told you
You never notice
The only lie I told you, that's not the only lie I told you
You never notice
I can tell you're in denial, get over it
I can tell you're in denial, get over it
I can tell you're in denial, get over it
I can tell you're in denial
Oh no, why can't you get along?
Ok I know it's not my place
I've got to say something
I've got to say something
I've got speak
She'll never leave
And you can never throw her out
Impossible to conceive
You'd rather be with than without
That's just the fear talking
That just the fear talking
That's just the fear
Don't let it take you
Like it nearly took me, fear
Don't let it fool you
Like it nearly fooled me, fear
Remember the good old days
But love is like a dragonfly
So beautiful, it will die
And disappear before your eyes
I'm no philosopher
I am no poet
I'm just trying to help you out
Don't let it fool you
Like it nearly fooled me, fear
Don't let it take you
Like it nearly took me
And so you sit and wait
For another man to take your place
And when, when he comes
Would you welcome him with open arms?
You'll feel a hundred years younger
You'll feel a hundred years younger
You'll fee no fear
Don't let it take you
Like it nearly took me, fear
Don't let it fool you
Like it nearly fooled me, fear
Don't kill you
I epitomise restraint,
But time has tempered my discretion,
I'm bound to betray myself someday,
I'm hittin the road and sayin goodbye,
I'll never walk backwards,
Let the sun get in my eyes.
Oh, don't make me laugh,
You're not fooled by the way I come over,
Don't make me laugh,
And don't make me cry,
So long goodbye.
This parted history we share,
Poorly wrapped and hardly mentioned,
I notice a little glint in your eye,
It's hard to know,
Who's telling a lie.
You'd never say never,
Wouldn't see your vanity deprived.
Oh, don't make me laugh,
You're not fooled by the way I come over,
Don't make me laugh,
And don't make me cry,
So long goodbye.
Don't make me laugh,
There is no other way I could know her,
Don't make me laugh,
And don't make me cry,
So long goodbye.
Don't make me laugh,
You're not fooled by the way I come over,
Don't make me laugh,
And don't make me cry,
So long goodbye.
Don't make me laugh,
There is no other way I could know her,
Don't make me laugh,
And don't make me cry,
So long,
So long,
So long,
Well it's been more than a year
Since I lived by the sea
And though we both have been moving
You came back to me
And I remember the old signs
We threw off the pier
They've been burning forgotten
They soon disappear.
Take one day of my lifestyle
Passing ghosts in the street
I chase them away with alcohol
But they don't get drunk
The ghosts around your city
Have all got no name
I wondered how they're flowing
I wondered why I'm glowing
I wondered how they're flowing
You can make up a list
Of the things you want
...Could be anything.
When you've crossed them all off,
And there's nothing left,
To start again.
The occasional milestone on your path,
Shows how far you've come.
But the record will show,
And it's all too much,
And not enough.
So step right up,
Everything's just fine.
I'm only here to do what's right.
If it cannot be slowed,
And it's too late to change,
Just cover up
Keep it spinning around out of control,
Til it's hard to stop
Like a moth to the flame, you can't resist
You have to get involved.
Why did you get involved?
So step right up,
Everything's just fine.
I'm only here to do what's right
Don't worry about it
Tell us what's your secret?
How come it works everytime?
You make it look so easy,
Like you don't even try.
Tell us what's your secret?
Have you got something to hide?
If giving up so easy,
Why do you even try?
And the record will show
You were falling fast,
It was all too much,
And you weren't fast enough
So step right up,
Everything's just fine.
I'm only here to do what's right
Don't worry about it
Tell us what's the secret?
How come it works everytime?
You make it look so easy,
Like you don't even try.
Tell us what's your secret?
Have you got something to hide?
If giving up so easy,
Why do you even try?
It's like you don't even try.
It's never all too much
Yeah, and not enough
It's like you don't even try.
It's never all too much
Guess it's bye-bye, baby bye-bye
Guess it's bye-bye, baby bye-bye
If you will, devil may ride invitation makes you feel fly
If you will, devil may ride well, the invitation makes you feel fly
If you will, devil will ride well, the invitation makes you feel fly
Did you ever even try when the inspiration's set to run dry?
Well, everybody wants a good time
Yeah, and everybody wants a good time
It's a goodbye
World going mad out there
Throw away all of your treasured possessions
'Cause even the royal mail
Can't deliver us from what we've got into
Guess it's bye-bye, baby bye-bye
Guess it's bye-bye, baby bye-bye
You know it
Oh, so good I could just live for this lie
Oh, 'cause everybody wants to get by
It's too easy to like this living
Been taking it easy again
It's too easy to like this living
If you will, the devil will ride but the invitation makes you feel fly
Did you ever even try when the inspiration's set to run dry?
Did you ever even writhe when the conversation turned to a guy?
And everybody wants a good time
Yeah, and everybody wants a good time
It's a goodbye
World going mad out there
Throw away all of your treasured possessions
Not even the royal mail

I'd lie, oh I'd lie
If you could release me now
You know that I won't hesitate
To lie, I would lie
Bring it on, make it right
Bring it on into the light
Pick me up satellite
If it's wrong, make it right
Indecipherable gibberish - kind of guitar
If I lied and told you they were difficult or hard to take
I'd lie, I'd still lie
If you try to please me now
You know that I won't remonstrate
But lie I would lie
Bring it on, make it right
Bring it on, into the light
Pick me up, satellite
If it's wrong, make it right

??Read by patterned stars round our head
We can reach new heights in this island
We're dragged slowly to our ?feet?

Bring it out, into the light
Pick me up, satellite

Gonna get them like a tweedledee or a tweedledum

From Step Inside
A temperamental ex stops and asks her why
But one cannot expect a true reply
Somehow love's picture hangs imperfect
And hand on heart we learn the score
The lovers and their wars
And wondering what's meant to be
For hope will spring eternal
When love's got you on your knees
Oh-oh shalalala woman
Shalalala man
Always and much more
Her body makes an "s", today they made a "c"
He sleepless needing her, he dogs her dreams
Then he wakes up on her doorstep
Then he wakes up on his floor
More drunker than before
She wouldn't open up to him
But hope will spring eternal
Through a multitude of sins
Oh-oh shalalala woman
Shalalala man
Always, always, always
But hope will spring eternal
When love's got you on your knees
Shalalala woman
Shalalala man
These 3 sins have finally found me
Lust, ambition and greed
Creepin' in the back door, they came without warning
They burned whatever they could steal
They burned whatever they could steal
So please could you go back where you came from again?
We don't want to harm ya
We don't want to harm ya
We are not your armor
We're your friends
These 3 sins have fell from their horses
And taken me and you for a ride
Deliver us from evil, let the devil disown me
The serpents and the snakes will decide
The serpents and the snakes will decide
So please could you go back where you came from again?
We don't want to harm ya
We don't want to harm ya
We are not your armor
We're your friends
So please could you go back where you came from again?
We don't want to harm ya
We don't want to harm ya
We are not your armor
I couldn't tell
The weight of the world
Was on your shoulders
Couldn't tell you were unhappy
You were unwell
I go along like nothing is wrong
No need to worry
Too late to feel sorrow
Upon borrowed time
And now there's no answers
No easy way out
Take it all if you want
Take it all if you want
If you know how to run
Sweet Virginia, you should run
If you know how to play
Sweet Virginia, you should play
If you know how to say
Sweet Virginia, you should say
If you know how to be
Be without me, you should be
You should be
I couldn't see
It seems I don't learn
Or get the message
Don't know you you carry
It all by yourself
How can it be
It doesn't belong
It's so not funny
This vintage of violence
Again on parade
And now there's no wonder
No shelter from shame
Be alone if you want
Be alone if you want
If you know how to run
Sweet Virginia, you should run
If you know how to play
Sweet Virginia, you should play
If you know how to say
Sweet Virginia, you should say
If you know how to be
Be without me, you should be
You should be
If you know how to run
Sweet Virginia, you should run
If you know how to play
Sweet Virginia, you should play
If you know how to say
Sweet Virginia, you should say
If you know how to be
Be without me, you should be
There's a place out near the Eighties
South of the border, west of the sun
And if we send out all the A-team
Silhouettes will creep out of the dark
There's a place out in the Nineties
North of the border, east of the light
We can send out all the B-team
Silhouettes will creep out every time
In a time before the Forties
North of the border, south of the sun
Well, we can send out anybody
Silhouettes will creep out of the dark
In a time after the Fifties
South of the border, east of the light
We can send out everybody
Silhouettes will creep out every time
Come all you faithful and rise
Things aren't what they might seem
With all the makeshift lies
You'll never come back clean
You'll never come out clean
Come all you faithful and rise
Things aren't what they might seem
With all the makeshift lies
You'll never come out clean
Come all you faithful and rise
Things aren't what they might seem
With all the makeshift lies
You'll never come back clean
You'll never come out
Rosalita's crawlin' round the knees
Rest my head, she's callin' to me
In my dreams, she's there for me
But open my eyes to see you there
I am fallin'
Sweetness, since you left me
It's been your flag I'm flying
But I'm sick of crying
Why did you choose to deceive me?
Was your plan just to kiss, fuck and leave me?
So, considerately just please talk to me
I won't portray myself so pitifully
My little conceit, you see
Is that I will never need you more than now
Rosalita's walkin' out on me
Close the door, she's stallin', I see
She's so sweet, but not for me
But as we sit around and laugh about
She's tryin' to call me
Darlin', though you hurt me
It's not from my lack of tryin'
You've got a fear of flyin' high
You have lost your patience
I see myself sink in your estimations
Forget the salutations just please study these tears
Your bitter words they just confirm my fears
Gonna let it fuck up all the years
Yet I will not need you more than now
Beautiful bitch, I could consider this a simple glitch
You're just a hopeless stitch in time
But then for your crimes
Please find yourself a little guilty with these lines
Got your conscience on my mind
Because I could not need you more
Oh, I could not need you more
Yeah, I could not need you more than now
You can write your tunes with rhythm and blues as your alibi
You can sell your soul and lay the blame all on the passers-by
You shake your body on the TV screen
It seems to me, you'd try anything twice
Swing it out and use it as your aphrodisiac
You can give it to me, to me, plain to see that I'll give it you back
You let it flow, let it go, there's nothing to it
Anyone can try anything twice, try anything twice
Chasing after stories that have already been told
Cannot look old Son House in the eyes
I know where you carry such a fragile load
But I've got yours and you've got mine
It's a rhythm and blues alibi
You can take a trip through your juke joint smoke-filled paradise
You can give it your all 'cause you are walking a fine, fine line, la
You shake your booty on the TV screen
Seems to me, you'd try anything twice, you'd try anything twice
Well, let me hear you now
Chasing after stories that have already been told
Cannot look old Son House in the eyes
I know where you carry such a fragile load
But I've got yours and you've got mine
You went there until you crash here
Then woken up to wonder where the night went
Keep breathin' it'll come back again
Tonight will be different, we will all be saved
My name's Jimmy, I'm an alcoholic
And I have been for 33 years or more
So kill me, I will die without it
It's like this wherever I go
So we crashed down in BB's
Keep quiet because the question is elaborate
You need a lawyer, a doctor, a drink
To keep survivin' keep me firin', oh
My name's Jimmy, I'm an alcoholic
And I have been for 33 years or more
So kill me, I will die without it
It's like this wherever I go
I don't feel like goin' out
I don't feel like goin' out
Feel like goin' out
I don't feel like goin' out
I don't feel like goin' out
Feel like goin' out
Feel like goin' out
My name's Jimmy, I'm an alcoholic
And I have been for 33 years or more
So kill me, I will die without it
It's like this wherever I go
My name's Jimmy, I'm an alcoholic
And I have been for 33 years or more
So kill me, I will die without it
It's like this wherever I go
Do you feel like goin' out?
Do you feel like goin' out?
Do you feel like goin out?
Do you feel like goin' out?
Do you feel like goin' out?
Do you feel like goin' out?

And where's this powder from, mama, yeah
Go faster, go faster
Calm down
And get straight
It's not our eyes (?)
It's how we operate
You're true
You are
I'd apologize but it won't go very far
Please come here
Come right on over
And when we collide we'll see what gets left over
A little joy
A little sorrow
And a little pride so we won't have to borrow
Wherever you lead, I'll follow
Turn me inside out and upside down
And try to see things my way
Turn a new page, tear the old one out
And I'll try to see things your way
Please come here
Please come on over
There is no line that you can't step right over
Without you well I'm left hollow
So can we decide to try a little joy tomorrow
'Cos baby tonight I'll follow
Turn me inside out and upside down
And try to see things my way
Turn a new page, tear the old one out
And I'll try to see things your way
The way that we've been speaking now
I swear that we'd be friends, I swear
'Cos all these little deals go down with
Little consequences, we share, we share
Turn me inside out and upside down
And try to see things my way
Turn a new page, tear the old one out
And I'll try to see things your way
And I'm gonna love you anyway
Try to see things your way
Try to see things your way
She's a wicked girl
Worse than all the world
A mystery lies in her
She spends her days
In a violent rage
Try as I might, I love her
Everytime the tears are dry
The story goes
What's left behind
Shivers like a leaf
Tossed and turned and gentle
It's not hard to believe
The girlshapedlovedrug messes with my mind
(Don't, don't) don't ask me why
The girlshapedlovedrug messes with your mind
She likes to fight
The whole world binds her eyes
Yours truely would die for her
The growing pains
Dissolve in lemonade
The sweetness flies to her
Everytime her temper flames
The storm will blow
What's left so rare
A fragment of the girl
Soft and sentimental
The side she tries not to share
The girlshapedlovedrug messes with my head
(Don't, don't) don't ask me why
The girlshapedlovedrug messes with your mind
(Don't, don't) don't ask me why
The girlshapedlovedrug messes with my mind
When the song is sung
Don't let it call your opinion
That girl's my life
I tell you everytime
My tears run dry
The moment's long
And we design
My feelings for the girl
I could not be without her
I would still surely find
The girlshapedlovedrug messes with my head
(Don't, don't) don't ask me why
The girlshapedlovedrug messes with my mind
(Don't, don't) don't ask me why
The girlshapedlovedrug messes with your mind
(Don't, don't) don't ask me why
There was a red light coughin' up a room of blood
And there were forecast, seven inches of snow
And there were two tunes playing in my head at once
Arguing guitar and drums
There was a lover standing by her bed
With a cigarette burning in her hand
And there were moonbeams playing on her porcelain flesh
A capi ero alousca
Company cars and shoes were never meant to play the blues
You were the only fool I ever wanted to make love to
Even within my youth I denied, I wanted to
You were the only fool I ever wanted to make love to
There was a red Mayan parrot pulling chicken legs
And there were weak spots, only she could detect
And as I rolled over to block the last ray of sun
In emergency all over the show
There was a blue light, the other side of the globe
And there were four cats stretching out their claws
And there were two lovers separated by the telephone
Company cars and shoes were never meant to play the blues
You were the only fool I ever wanted to make love to
Even within my youth I denied, I wanted to
'Cause you were the only fool I ever wanted to make love to
Your flavors are getting to me
Your flavors are getting to me
Your flavors are getting to me
Your flavors are getting to me
Your flavors
Your flavors
Your flavors
Come and fight back
Need some help here
Bail us out
In up to our necks
Drenching never stops
Fish us out
There's a light there to steer it
A fear that is peeling
And soaking us up
Into a slow-motion freezer
Division is leaving
Everything stops
It's overexposure
You stop running off on me
It's overexposure
You stop running off
Come and fight back
Need some help here
Bail us out
In up to our necks
Drenching never stops
Fish us out
Did you forget what you came in for?
Still shaking the rain off
Fresh from the storm
So we saved up the good stuff
And scrapped for the life raft
Pistols at dawn
It's overexposed
And only tit and teeth remain
It's overexposed
Keep your filthy hands off
Come and fight back
Need some help here
Bail us out
Had it up to here
Drenching never stops
Fish us out
Come and fight back
Need some help here
Bail us out
In up to our necks
Drenching never stops
Fish us out
Come and fight back
Need some help here
Bail us out
Had it up to here
Drenching never stops
Fish us out
Fish us out
Fish us out
Fish us out
Fish us out
I spend a lifetime
Trying to decipher
Charley Patton Songs.
I don't know why I bother,
Even if I think it's right,
It always comes out wroung.
But I'm old enough,
Old enough to know why
You're still young enough,
Young enough to still try, still try.
I keep on pushing,
For some way through it,
Til I'm knackered out
I know how you're feeling,
Even though I've never been
That far south
But I'm old enough,
Old enough to know why
You're still young enough,
Young enough to still try, still try.
And I been lookin in New York,
I been lookin in Chicago,
I been lookin in New Orleans
I can't find you
I been lookin in Detroit,
I been lookin in Los Angeles,
I been lookin in Louisville
I cannot find you
Well I'm old enough,
Old enough to know why
You're still young enough,
Young enough to still try, you still try.
I been lookin in New York,
I been lookin in Chicago,
I been lookin in New Orleans
I can't find you
I been lookin in Detroit,
I been lookin in Los Angeles,
I been lookin in Louisville
I cannot find you
I been lookin in the Lonely States,
I been lookin in Philadelphia,
I been lookin in Memphis,
I cannot find you,
California got her right
You will have to wait
Calling from The Golden Gate
Sentimental sparrows
Keeping me awake
Funny how the morning's late
Funny how the morning's late
Come around with your heavenly smile
Come around and drag me out again
After a while we can sit and watch them all rush by
Come around and drag me out again
Come around and drag me out again
Always wanted to leave
Always felt that I'd get stopped
But I could never see myself
In anybody else's arms
In anybody else's arms
Come around with your heavenly smile
Come around and drag me out again
After a while we can sit and watch them all rush by
Come around and drag me out again
Come around and drag me out again
Always wanted to leave
Always felt that I'd get stopped
But I could never see myself
No, I could never see myself
With anybody else
If you want a piece of my life
Get in line, baby get in line
If you wanna kiss then do it fast
Get in line, baby get in line
If you wanna practice, spill the past
Get in line, baby get in line
Get in line, baby get in line
California's angel
It's more than I can stand
Calling down the sunset's pain
Sentimental star unsolved
As soon as we wake
Funny in the morning state
Funny in this morning state
If you want a piece of my life
Get in line, baby get in line
If you wanna kiss then do it fast
Get in line, baby get in line
If you wanna practice, spill the past
Get in line, baby get in line
I will smile and chuckle till the last
Get in line, baby get in line
Get in line, baby get in line
Get in line, baby get in line
