Remember when we were angels
Before we stole cars
And when sex and drugs
Lived up in another world... not a care in the world
Hide and seek, kissing and running
Till you were out of breath
In the late night day sun
Until you Mamma called you home... and you didn't wanna go
High
Be my getaway
Gotta getaway
High
Be my getaway
Gotta getaway
Coppers, robbers, cowboys and Indians
Hanging round the corner
Of the street you lived
How come it felt so far away... just a stone throw away
Your best friend wasn't someone you worked with
And money from your old man
Would burn a hole in yer pocket all day...
Not a single debt to pay
High
Be my getaway
I got a royal flush
I gotta ten bob
In my pocket for luck
Just another crush
I got my head read
In the shed once again
My friend
Inside, outside, upside, downside
See my face wanna take me home
I missed your sister, shake your pistol
Hear my voice on your telephone
Just another lush
I got my ten green bottles
In my pocket for luck
In another rut
Get your deadhead
In the shed once again
My friend
Inside, outside, upside, downside
See my face wanna take me home
I missed your sister, shake your pistol
Hear my voice on your telephone
Cigarette burning, got an opal ring
Dirty magazine turning, you're a bird who sings
Sleeping on a shag pile, sleeping on me
Outside it's summer, indoors it's cool
It's just after 3pm, I see kids leaving school
Policeman are walking, walking in lines
Tight side by side
A young boy's died
15 years old, slow walking alone
They stole his phone, he never got home
Three boys in hoods
A warm summer's day
Stuck him and killed him and then ran away
Now there's red spray paint slashed on the wall
R.I.P. Baby, we love you from all
Just that one moment, ended their days
Mary is my bright red star
She caught the train to work in the morning when she got up
And then she'd call me up, just to wake me up
But she's alright
She's alright
Mary is my bright red star
She likes to look at the pink sky just before the day turns dark
And then she'd call me up, just to wind me up
But she's alright
She's alright
Mary is my bright red star
She wears a hat in the sun, pink nails and her bleach blond locks
And then she'd call me up, so we could meet up
But she's alright
She's alright
Mary is my bright red star
We just talk into the night about nothing in particular
And then she'd hang me up, until she'd wake me up
But she's alright
She's alright
She's alright
I never knew her name
I only knew her fame
she lived near my town
another goldfish to drown
well I just past the bridge
that parts us from them the bridge
that she used again and again again
I remember when they found her
billy davey's daughter the word gets around
billy davey's second daughter threw herself
to dirty water billy's left with nothing but a
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
I woke up in a Soho doorway
A policeman knew my name
He said "You can go sleep at home tonight
If you can get up and walk away"
I staggered back to the underground
And the breeze blew back my hair
I remember throwing punches around
And preaching from my chair
Well, who are you? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
I really wanna know (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
Tell me, who are you? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
'Cause I really wanna know (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
I took the tube back out of town
Back to the Rollin' Pin
I felt a little like a dying clown
With a streak of Rin Tin Tin
I stretched back and I hiccupped
And looked back on my busy day
Eleven hours in the Tin Pan
God, there's got to be another way
Well, who are you? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
Oh, who are you? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
Come on and tell me, who are you? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
Oh, who the fuck are you? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
I really wanna know (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
Oh, who the fuck are you? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
Who are you? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
Ah, tell me who are you? (Who are you? Who?)
I really wanna know, I really wanna know,
Come on and tell me who are you? you, you and you
Clean as a whistle, smelling like a rose,
You got your dirty little fingers, bloodshot eyes are gone,
Tell me I'm wrong,
Twice as hard, as it was the first time, I said goodbye,
Twice as hard, as it was the first time, I said goodbye,
And no one ever wanna know, love ain't funny,
A crime in the wink of an eye,
Your sister always singing, she play the step child,
A broken little memory, her heart was never kind,
Tell me I'm blind,
Twice as hard, as it was the first time, I said goodbye,
Twice as hard, as it was the first time, I said goodbye,
And nobody ever wanna know, love ain't funny,
A crime in the wink of an eye,
Blind, you tell me I'm wrong,
Twice as hard, as it was the first time, I said goodbye,
Twice as hard, as it was the first time, I said goodbye,
Twice as hard, as it was the first time, I said goodbye,
Twice as hard, as it was the first time, I said goodbye
Don't call pretty Peggy, she can't hear you no more,
Don't leave no message, round her back door,
They say the old laughing lady, been here before,
She don't keep time, she don't count score,
You can't have a cupboard, if there ain't no walls,
You got to move, there's no time left to stall,
They say the old laughing lady, dropped by to call,
And when she leaves, she leaves nothing at all,
See the drunkard of the village, falling on the street,
Can't tell his ankles, from the rest of his feet,
He loves his old laughing lady, cause her taste is so sweet,
But the laughing lady's loving ain't the kind he can keep,
There's a fever on the freeway, blacks out tonight,
There's a slipping on the stairway, that don't feel right,
There's a rumbling in the bedroom, a flashing of light,
There's the old laughing lady, everything is all right,
There's the old laughing lady, everything is all right
You think we look pretty good together,
You think my shoes are made of leather,
But I'm a substitute for another guy,
I look pretty tall but my heels are high,
The simple things you see are all complicated,
I look pretty young, but I'm just back-dated, yeah,
Substitute your lies for fact,
I can see right through your plastic mac,
I look all white, but my dad was black,
My fine looking suit is really made out of sack,
I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth,
The north side of my town faced east, and the east was facing south,
And now you dare to look me in the eye,
Those crocodile tears are what you cry,
It's a genuine problem, you won't try,
To work it out at all you just pass it by, pass it by,
Substitute me for him,
Substitute my coke for gin,
Substitute you for my mum,
At least I'll get my washing done,
But I'm a substitute for another guy,
I look pretty tall but my heels are high,
The simple things you see are all complicated,
I look pretty young, but I'm just back-dated, yeah,
Substitute me for him,
Substitute my coke for gin,
Substitute you for my mum,
At least I'll get my washing done,
Substitute your lies for fact,
I can see right through your plastic mac,
I look all white, but my dad was black,
My fine looking suit is really made out of sack
Light the candle today,
I play piano okay,
I'll play piano for you,
Because I like what you do, do
Take it or leave it,
Take what you want,
Take it or leave it,
And now they tell me its over now,
And it's only time for dreaming,
And now they tell me its over now,
And it's only time for dreaming, again,
I'll play especially for you,
Because I like you in blue,
Some people like what you do,
Others look badly on you,
Take it or leave it,
Take what you want,
Take it or leave it,
And now they tell me its over now,
And it's only time for dreaming,
And now they tell me its over now,
And it's only time for dreaming, again,
And now they tell me its over now,
And it's only time for dreaming,
And now they tell me its over now,
And it's only time for dreaming,
So now they tell me its over now,
And it's only time for dreaming,
And now they tell me its over now,
And it's only time for dreaming, again
I arrive in a taxi, a Mercedes Benz,
I was driving along, alone, with no friends,
Jumped into the Maritim Belle Vue In Kiel,
You woke and you said, she said "how do you feel?",
I feel fine, so I'm signing my name,
She said "you're in here tonight, you're the only one staying",
Look left down the hall, at the state of it all,
The leather was brown, there was only the sound of a...,
Turn off the floor, until you're your mirrored wall,
Lampshades of gold, lined up on the floor, in a row
Lined up in a row,
Oh no, lined up on the floor,
I was hungry again, out to eat with no friend,
In a restaurant, what's open, at least that's what I'm hoping,
I ordered the fish, they say "went into Rome",
The waiter smiled, but he wanted to go on home,
So go, go on home,
Just go,
Go, go on home,
The meal was good, but I'm drinking alone,
I could murder a nightcap, I decided to go,
The bar was empty, you asked "what you having?",
I think its a Vodka, and it looks like I'm buying again,
It seems you've got your own friends
Yes again,
I think I'm buying again,
I felt like your tourist, sinking alone,
The barman looked weird, so I drank me some more,
I scanned round the room to see two old friends,
Who were Laurel and Hardy fans and late at the end,
Oh no, I should go on home,
Oh no, sliding down on the floor,
I got up to leave, so I finish my drink,
I crushed all the ice cubes, the grapefruit was pink,
I said "how long ya' been", you said "since it was new",
You said "I've always been" you said "and so have you"
Want some whiskey in your water?
Sugar in your tea?
What's all these crazy questions they're asking me?
This is the craziest party that could ever be,
Don't turn on the lights 'cause I don't wanna see,
Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
She said "that ain't the way to have fun, son"
Open up the window, let some air to this room,
I think I'm almost choking from the smell of stale perfume,
And the cigarette you're smoking,
'Bout to scare me half to death,
Open up the window, let me catch my breath,
Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
She said "that ain't the way to have fun, son
That ain't the way to have fun, son, son, son"
The radio is blasting,
Someone's knocking at the door,
I'm looking at my girlfriend, she passed out on the floor
I've seen so many things, I ain't never seen before
Don't know what it is, but I don't wanna see it no more
Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
She said "that ain't the way to have fun, no, no, no,
That ain't the way to have fun, son"
And mama told me, mama told me,
Mama told me, mama told me,
Mama told me not to come,
That ain't the way to have fun, son,
That aint the way to have fun,
That aint the way to have fun, no
That aint the way to have fun,
And mama told me, mama told me,
Mama told me, mama told me,
She told me not to come,
That aint the way to have fun,
That aint the way to have fun, son,
That aint the way to have fun, oh no, no, no
Maybe I should've listened
Maybe I don't really want to know,
How your garden grows,
'Cause I just wanna fly,
Lately did you ever feel the pain?
In the morning rain?
As it soaks you to the bone,
Maybe I just want to fly,
Wanna live, I don't wanna die,
Maybe I just wanna breathe,
Maybe I just don't believe,
Maybe you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see,
You and I are gonna live forever,
I said maybe,
I don't really wanna know,
How your garden grows,
'Cause I just wanna fly,
Lately did you ever feel the pain?
In the morning rain?
As it soaks you to the bone.
Maybe I will never be,
All the things that I wanna be,
Now is not the time to cry,
Now's the time to find out why,
I think you're the same as me,
We see things they'll never see,
You and I are gonna live forever,
Maybe I don't really want to know,
How your garden grows,
'Cause I just wanna fly,
Lately did you ever feel the pain?
In the morning rain?
As it soaks you to the bone,
Maybe I just want to fly,
Wanna live, I don't wanna die,
Maybe I just wanna breathe,
Maybe I just don't believe,
Maybe you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see,
You and I are gonna live forever,
Gonna live forever,
Gonna live forever
Gonna live forever,
Gonna live forever,
Gonna live forever,
Gonna live forever
When I wake up early in the morning,
I lift my head, I'm still yawning,
When I'm in the middle of a dream,
Stay in bed, float up stream (float up stream),
Please, don't wake me, no, don't shake me,
Leave me where I am, I'm only sleeping,
Everybody seems to think I'm lazy,
I don't mind, I think they're crazy,
Running everywhere at such a speed,
Till they find there's no need (there's no need),
Please, don't spoil my day, I'm miles away,
And after all, I'm only sleeping,
Keeping an eye on the world going by my window,
Taking my time,
Lying there and staring at the ceiling,
Waiting for a sleepy feeling,
Please, don't wake me, no, don't shake me,
Leave me where I am, I'm only sleeping,
Keeping an eye on the world going by my window,
Taking my time,
When I wake up early in the morning,
I lift my head, I'm still yawning,
When I'm in the middle of a dream,
Stay in bed, float up stream (float up stream),
Please, don't wake me, no, don't shake me
Leave me where I am, I'm only sleeping
How can I go forward when I don't know which way I'm facing?
How can I go forward when I don't know which way to turn?
How can I go forward into something I'm not sure of?
Woo, oh no, oh no,
How can I have feeling when I don't know if it's a feeling?
How can I feel something if I just don't know how to feel?
How can I have feelings when my feelings have always been denied?
Woo, oh no, oh no,
You know life can be long,
And you got to be so strong,
And the world is so tough,
Sometimes I feel I've had enough,
How can I give love when I don't know what it is I'm giving?
How can I give love when I just don't know how to give?
How can I give love when love is something I ain't never had?
Woo, oh no, oh no
You know life can be long
You've got to be so strong
And the world she is tough
Sometimes I feel I've had enough
How can we go forward when we don't know which way we're facing?
How can we go forward when we don't know which way to turn?
How can we go forward into something that we're not sure of?
Woo, oh no, oh no
I want to live, I want to give,
I've been a miner for a heart of gold,
It's these expressions, that never give,
That keep me searching for a heart of gold, and I'm getting old.
They Keep me searching for a heart of gold, and I'm getting old,
I've been to Hollywood, I've been to Redwood,
I crossed the ocean for a heart of gold,
I've been in my mind, it's such a fine line,
That keeps me searching for a heart of gold, and I'm getting old,
It keeps me searching for a heart of gold, and I'm getting old,
Keeps me searching for a heart of gold,
Keeps me searching and I'm growing old,
Keeps me searching for a heart of gold,
I've been a miner for a heart of gold, and I'm getting old
Ever seen a blind man cross the road,
Try'na make the other side,
Ever seen a young girl growing old,
Try'na to make herself a bride,
So what becomes of you my love,
When they have finally stripped you of,
The handbags and the gladrags,
That your poor old Granddad had to sweat to buy you,
Once I was a young man,
All I thought I had to do was smile,
You are still a young girl,
And you bought everything in style,
So once you think you're in, you're out,
'Cause you don't mean a single thing without,
The handbags and the gladrags,
That your poor old Granddad had to sweat to buy you,
Sing a song of six-pence for your sake,
And take a bottle full of rye,
Four and twenty blackbirds in a cake,
And bake them all in a pie,
They told me you missed school today,
So what I suggest you just throw them all away,
The handbags and the gladrags,
That your poor old Granddad had to sweat to buy you,
They told me you missed school today,
So I suggest you just throw them all away,
The handbags and the gladrags,
That your poor old Granddad had to sweat to buy you
Don't let me down, don't let me down,
Don't let me down, don't let me down,
Nobody ever loved me like she does,
oh she does, yeah she does,
And if somebody loved me like she do me,
yeah she do me, she do me good,
Don't let me down, don't let me down,
Don't let me down, don't let me down,
I'm in love for the first time,
Don't you know it's gonna last,
It's a love that lasts forever,
It's a love that had no past,
Don't let me down, don't let me down,
Don't let me down, don't let me down,
And from the first time that she really done me,
oh she done me, she done me good,
I guess nobody ever really done me,
oh she done me, she done me good,
Don't let me down, don't let me down,
Don't let me down, don't let me down

We don't wanna be your enemy,
But when we're on the field,
It's red, white and green,
Get beat by the Irish,
Get beat by the Scots,
The French ought'ta struggle,
But you're the one we want,
We want...
As long as we beat the English,
As long as we beat the English,
As long as we beat the English, we don't care
As long as we beat the English,
As long as we beat the English,
As long as we beat the English, we don't care
We don't care
Got a phone call today from Mr. Nice,
He's often called, once or twice,
He's on stage in town, asked me to come down,
I was five minutes late, I had to pop by the gate,
I stood at the side, and I listened and I tried,
To imagine the life, that gave him that smile,
"An audience with" it reads on the bill,
A man that made his millions, smuggling for thrills
Master of disguise and masters degrees,
Who's goal in life, to set what grows free,
I have a drink and a smoke, and some think its a joke
and summon some pain, they can't take up the strain
And I like stories told, and will 'till I'm old,
All the one's growing up, are gonna love what we've known,
Is it going to fast? am I living in the past?
Do we think anymore? or live behind our closed doors?
There's something about a man on a stage,
To make you listen and think 'I wanna come back again'
So Mr. Nice stared, it is,
I'm glad you called, I had me a ball.
He was walking round to you,
One said French afternoon,
So he called in to a shop for two,
He bought himself an ice drink,
A totally tropical nice drink,
Then he saw what he thought was you in a room
He thought about going over,
But you were always much older,
And your sex dressed breasts, impressed too,
He'd really like to get it together,
Before the twelth of never,
So he's coming over
It's when all the phases come around the clothes you wear,
The sex and love it's enough for the time outta touch out of luck
He always liked them older,
So that his top lip touched on her shoulder,
Lionized undisguised kill for you,
Like to show you his t-shirt sun tan,
Love to show you his minute head stand,
Then a gun spun open
It's when all the phases come around, the clothes you wear,
The sex and love it's enough for the time outta touch out of luck
It's when all the phases come around the clothes you wear,
The sex and love it's enough for the time outta touch out of luck
From you to me, to me to you
From you to me, to me to you
From you to me, to me to you
From you to me, to me to you
It's when all the phases come around, the clothes you wear,
The sex and love it's enough for the time outta touch out of luck
It's when all the phases come around the clothes you wear,
The sex and love it's enough for the time outta touch out of luck
Out of luck, hey hey heya
there's things i want
there's things i think i want
there's things i've had
there's things i wanna have
do i want the dreams
the ones we're forced to see
do i want the perfect wife
the word perfect ain't quite right
shopping every day
take it back the next break
they say the more you fly the more you
risk your life
i'm just looking i'm not buying
i'm just looking keeps me smiling
a house i seen another coulda' been
you drenched my head and said what i said
you said that life is what you make of it
yet most of us just fake
i'm just looking, i'm not buying
It's another way, to get through the day,
Picking up ripped cigarette boxes hoping that one remains
Yellow lucky day, suck deep and bathe,
For the next ten minutes spent coughing all the pleasures craved
Write down all the things that you'd like to say,
Write down all the things that you'd like to change,
Write down all the places you'd like to stay,
Write down anything that you want
Is yesterday, tomorrow, today?
Is nothing gonna change the way?
Cracked rock top wall, left the ash to fall, left alone to wait,
I've never looked at things I've liked only things I hate
You're not the first today, not the softest face,
Was there any that you liked? was there any that you didn't fake?
Write down all the things that you'd like to be,
Write down all the things that you don't believe,
Write down all the places you'd like to see,
Write down anything that you want
Is yesterday, tomorrow, today?
Is nothing gonna change the way?
Because, everything that's you,
And the things that you like to do,
And all of the things that are,
Come back again, come back again,
Come back again, come back again,
Come back again,
Is yesterday, tomorrow, today?
travelling through
a tunnel under sea

but i'm miles away
to a year before
laughs from a glass
drank to the past
on the old green seat
like velvet to the hand
think i'd like to stay a minute longer
would you like to stay a minute longer?
last one for some
sick from the rum
i play golf on the carpet with someone
crash back to date
few things i hate
but i'd rather us live
Long as I remember
The rain been coming down
Clouds of mystery falling
Confusion on the ground
Good men through the ages
Trying to find a sun
And I wonder, still I wonder
Who'll stop the rain
I went down Virginia
Seeking shelter from the storm
Caught up in the fable
I watched the tower grow
About your plans for new year
Wrapped in golden chains
And I wonder still I wonder
Who'll stop the rain
Heard the singers playing
How I cheered for more
The crowd had rushed together
Trying to keep warm
And still the rain kept falling
falling on my head
And I wonder still I wonder
Russell said take what you need
He could count large amounts on his fingers
Even with false teeth
Tie me up and tie me down
Tie me up and tie me down
Russell's bleeding from his knees
He was shot three times
But he claims he was shot thirteen
Tie me up and shoot me down
Tie me up and shoot me down
Ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba etc
Russell's live on the BBC
Sell the story for the glory
Take a picture with his new false teeth
Tie me up tie me down
Tie me up tie me down
Ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba
Underneath the bridge
The tarp has sprung a leak
And the animals are trapped
And have all become my pets
And I'm living off of grass
And the drippings from the ceiling
But it's ok to eat fish
Cause they haven't any feelings
Something in the way ah ahhh
Something in the way yeah ah ahh
Something in the way ah ahh
Something in the way yeah ah ahh
Something in the way mmm
Something in the way yeah ah ahhh
Underneath the bridge
The tarp has sprung a leak
And the animals are trapped
And have all become my pets
And I'm living off of grass
And the drippings from my ceiling
It's ok to eat fish
That's my home to me
That's my home to me
Please don't take it from me
Please don't take it from me
From Me
Electric lights blow my stare
I'm crawling for a space to breath
Why should my home concern your needs
Please don't take it from me
A baby chair
A rocking horse
A nervous wreck
A memory loss
And sleeping pills
Ease the pain
I'm coming back
I'm back again again
That's my home
That's my life to me
Please don't take it away from me
I drive a truck, it carries money
And everyday, I dream up my fantasies
Yesterday, I bought my beach house
A little place just off the coast of France
Everyday, I think of money
Everyday, I think of running
I love my truck, I love my family
Stacked in the back, the good life surrounds me
Could tie my right hand man
And put him some place
Then I'd ditch the truck
And buy a new face
Everyday, I think of money
Everyday, I think of someway
It can't buy you love
It can't give you a soul
Can pick you up
Can down you low
Can drag you out, of the hole
You dug
Yourself
Out of ... again
Sat in a truck, it carries convicts
My hands are bound, to the seat by handcuffs
Tomorrow, I'll maybe walk around the yard
Or paint in my cell, and hate imprisonment
Everyday I think of money
I'm gonna buy myself a small plane
I'm gonna crash it on the south line
I'm gonna sleep down by his quarters
I'd like to have sex with his daughters
I'm gonna buy myself a small plane
I'm gonna crash it on the south line
Yeah its big enough for me
I'm just another great truck driver
He's just another white house skiver
Get a gun ready your aircraft
Big man got ready to broadcast
I'm gonna buy myself a small plane
I'm gonna crash it on the south line
Yeah its big enough for me
I'm gonna buy myself a small plane
I'm gonna crash it on a war zone
Yeah its big enough for me
I'm gonna have to shoot my way out
To give the access boys some more clout
I was Butch Cassidy's tutor
Although sun dance was cuter
I'm gonna buy myself a small plane
I'm gonna crash it on the south line
Yeah its big enough for me
Gonna buy myself a small plane
Gonna crash it on the south line
Gonna buy myself a small plane
Gonna crash it on a war zone
Gonna buy myself a small plane
Gonna crash it on your brow
Yeah its big enough for me
For me, for me, for me
when you think about it he's watching
every word you say hey dazed and when
he's sussed you out he calls her up and out
she comes and hustles us
the bartender and the thief are lovers
steal what they need like sisters and
brothers
met in a church a night to remember
robbing the graves of bodies
dismembered
he watched the lesbian talk she kissed and
groped but mostly talked in lust crushed
he couldn't make the call his eyes were
gripped on licking tongues enough's enough
failed for once
long digging gone fishing love
drinking
the bartender and the thief are lovers
steal what they need like sisters and
brothers
met in a church a night to remember
robbing the graves of bodies
dismembered
saved what they stole to meet at the alter
place where they first set eyes on each
other
flew to the sun to start life all over
What kind of pace are we living now?
Watching wars live, via satellite
You carry a gun but no smoking inside
Escape disease yet I could get shot tonight
Shoot
Lose
The time has come and you're all alone
And you know you're not dreaming
It's heaven's door, you're ringing on the bell
Will they let you in, or you going to hell?
I'll take a war, I'll take mine with fries
Medium rare, wash a coke down with ice
Swallow it down no time to digest
What do you know, I'm feeling hungry again
Shoot
Loose
The time has come and you're all alone
And you know you're not dreaming
It's heaven's door, you're ringing on the bell
I heard you're doing well
Selling art and everything
I like you're stuff; good for you
I'll buy a piece or maybe two
Do you ever think of me?
Do you remember all our stupid dreams?
Rainbows and pots of gold
So much to prove before we got old
I took you places round the world
I miss you're face sometimes you know
You took my picture a thousand times
I'll buy them back; I don't mind
I lost my way but found my track
I'm sorry if I never listened back
I've been round; I've been up and down
And you missed the one we dressed like clowns
And how's your car and how's your life?
How's my friend; when's she gonna be your wife?
I'm sitting up writing down
These things I sometimes dream about
I knew your number off by heart
It's the only one I like to talk
It wasn't me using you
I trusted you; one of the few
And we had some laughs; had some rows
But in the end the walls came down
You like the place I'm living now
It's a shame you can't come around
And I've grown a lot since we last spoke
Got myself together; fixed what was broke
I wonder if we'll talk again
Or drink together just like then
I suppose it's different now it's new
Whoever points the finger at who
I really hope you're happy both of you
And maybe sometimes you miss me too
plastic california

but it's what you do

Let me buy you things, let me in your head
Let us fly away let this never end
My friend
My friend
Kick back think back look at you

Let me introduce you to my friends
Let me buy you things, let me in your head
Let us fly away let this never end
My friend
My friend
Let me introduce you to my friends
Let me buy you things, let me in your head
Let us fly away let this never end
My friend
You line them up
Look at your shoes
You hang names on your wall
Then you shoot them all
You fly around in planes
That bring you down
To meet me who loves you, like
Me crashing to the ground
Are you so lonely?
Don't even know me
But you'd like to stone me
Mr Writer, why don't you tell it like it is?
Why don't you tell it like it really is?
Before you go on home
I used to treat you right
Give you my time
But when I'd turn my back on you
Then you do what you do
You've just enough, in my own view
Education to perform
I'd like to shoot you all
And then you go home
With you on your own
What do you really know?
Mr Writer, why don't you tell it like it is?
Why don't you tell it like it really is?
Before you go on home
And then you go home
With you on your own
What do you even know?
Mr Writer, why don't you tell it like it is?
Why don't you tell it like it really is?
Before you go on home
Mr Writer, why don't you tell it like it is?
Why don't you tell it like it always is?
Before you go on home
Mr Writer, why don't you tell it like it really is?
Why don't you tell it like it always is?
we wait to wake to get a ride in the rain
buy a ticket they can check we can claim
so we don't spend what's our own for a
seat a place to stop a green light a red
cross they run around naked doing old
things like the ones before
wait for a break so you can take a little
something that'll make your next break
come along a little quicker than the one
before wait for an answer spy a sweet
dancer as she walks from the door of the
hall wish you waited for your wedding
vows so hurry up and wait
but what's worth waiting for?
we wait to get warm the car starts from
cold stall to make a first move magazines
made the rules to make us lose wait for
your dream man the house you could both
plan the car in the sales ad the wet dream
with the man you wished that you had
a watched pot never boils sugars seconds
to dissolve see your appetite lost foods
relevance is lost inside
so hurry up and wait
but what's worth waiting for?
so join the queue me and you
wait in line it takes our
You could lick or chew,
Tongue in style tonight,
Champagne drag queen suit,
Pinstripe outta line, it's time to try how,
Blisters on your feet,
Blisters up your spine,
If I could choose from two
I'd mime to be a smile, ha ha ha ha
But when you rely on a lie that's true,
And no one believes in the things you do
Cause half of the lies you tell ain't true,
I'm gonna find out, I'm gonna find a piece of...
You could pick and lose,
Diesel dreams for crime,
I should win and choose,
Colours undersize,
A naked fake that's,
Face that fits for two,
Sex brings out the spies,
Hanging from your feet,
Hollywood star style, ha ha ha ha
But when you rely on a lie that's true,
And no one believes in the things you do
Cause half of the lies you tell ain't true,
I'm gonna find out, I'm gonna find a piece of you
But when you rely on a lie that's true,
And no one believes in the things you do,
Cause half of the lies you tell ain't true,
I'm gonna find a piece of you
But when you rely on a lie that's true,
No one believes in the things you do
Cause half of the lies you tell ain't true,
I'm gonna find a, I'm gonna find a, I'm gonna find a piece of you
I'm just lying here
Thinking to myself again
I'm round the bend
I've been driving round
Talking to myself again
Not making no sense
What makes you and
What makes me
What makes men lie
Through their teeth
And what makes ten-ton birds
Fly me across the sea
And who's to say, that if the sun went out today
That all the movie stars would drive their cars away
Fallen angels from their pay cheques on parade
What's going down?
What's going around?
I'm climbing the wall
I'm just standing here
Looking at myself again
I'm going blind
I'm just sitting here
Playing with myself again
It's turning me on
So what makes you and what makes me
What makes women lie through their teeth
And what makes ten-ton ships
Sail me across the sea
And who's to say, that if the sun went out today
That all the movie stars would drive their cars away
Fallen angels from their pay cheques on parade
What's going down?
What's going around?
I'm climbing the wall
So what makes you and what makes me
What makes people lie through their teeth
And what makes ten-ton trains
Rail me under the sea
And who's to say, that if the sun went out today
That all the movie stars would drive their cars away
Fallen angels from their pay cheques on parade
What's going down?
What's going around?
You fly with angels wings
You've got my blood in your veins
And your eyes see everything
And they shine like diamond rings
You're my Sunday
Make my Monday come alive
Just like Tuesday
You're a new day that wakes me up
Wednesday's raining
Thursday's yearning
Friday nights
Then it all ends at the weekend
You're my star
At times I cave right in (at time I cave right in)
But there's fights we have to win (the fights we have to win)
And your songs we love to sing (la la la la la, la la la la)
May your dreams forever live (la la la la, la la la la)
You're my Sunday
Make my Monday come alive
Just like Tuesday
You're a new day that wakes me up
Wednesday's raining
Thursday's yearning
Friday nights
Then it all ends at the weekend
You're my star
You're my star
Yes you are
Its a thrill to see your imagination
Just watching you is an education
What's in your mind is my fascination
It blows my mind and sets my heart a racing
You're my Sunday
Make my Monday come alive (you make me come alive)
Just like Tuesday
You're a new day that wakes me up (you make me come alive)
Wednesday's raining
Thursday's yearning
Friday nights (you make me come alive)
Time bomb where did it go wrong
Street fights in the city lights for you, who are you?
The uppercut from the upper class
I spilled my drink and I broke my glass for you, who are you?
You look fit but you ainÂ’t got it
Think youÂ’re a dog well youÂ’re just a bitch
I bet youÂ’d like to take me for a ride
Sing loud all you people
We're fighting in the streets
Sing loud all you people
This city’s killing me
With no money and the cupboardÂ’s bare
knew who I was and I didn't care for you, who are you?
The undercurrent of the underdog
Will wipe the floor with your suit and job you do, who are you?
You box clever like to box you hard
So what do you got without your credit card
Not a lot ‘cause what you think youÂ’ve gotÂ’s not real
Sing loud all you people
We're fighting it in the streets
Sing loud all you people
This city’s killing me
Time bomb where did it go wrong
Street fights and the city lights
For you, who are you?
The uppercut from the upper class
I spilled my drink and I broke my glass for you, who are you?
Sing loud all you people
We're fighting in the streets
Sing loud all you people
I get camping eyes in the final hour
Last minute shoppers picking cauliflower
The fuss they make, you'd swear they were buying a car
They always moan, moan it's not so cheap
Cheaper still, cheaper still down the street
Lose my rag and tell them take your bag and shop down there
Closing down, they're closing down another road
One way, system steals the show
Mac the knife swigs a can and sings the day away
There's more life, more life, more life in a tramp's vest
There's more life, more life, more life in a tramp's vest
The flower man sits down in the street
Surrounded by, the stock he bought last week
Bring back the ladies wearing lipstick on their teeth
Make up, we make up a crappy joke
Sit back, relax and have a smoke
Mac the knife swigs a can and sings the day away
There's more life, more life, more life in a tramp's vest
There's more life, more life, more life in a tramp's vest
There's more life, more life, more life in a tramp's vest
There's more life, more life, more life in a tramp's vest
I get camping eyes in the final hour
Last minute shoppers picking cauliflower
Mac the knife swigs a can and sings the day away
There's more life, more life, more life in a tramp's vest
There's more life, more life, more life in a tramp's vest
There's more life, more life, more life in a tramp's vest
I've been down and I'm wondering why
These little black clouds
Keep walking around with me, with me
It wastes time and I'd rather be high
Think I'll walk me outside and buy a rainbow smile
But be free, they're all free
So maybe tomorrow, I'll find my way home
So maybe tomorrow, I'll find my way home
I look around at a beautiful life
I've been the upper side of down, been the inside of out
But we breathe, we breathe
I wanna breeze and an open mind
I wanna swim in the ocean
Wanna take my time for me, all me
So maybe tomorrow, I'll find my way home
So maybe tomorrow, I'll find my way home
So maybe tomorrow, I'll find my way home
So maybe tomorrow, I'll find my way home
So maybe tomorrow, I'll find my way home
Maybe one thing
Maybe something
Maybe nothing
All I know is friend
It's nothing new
Maybe it's me
What is to be?
Maybe lucky
All I ask is where
We're s'posed to be
I give a lot
I take a lot
It's nothing new to me
Maybe you've grown
Am I so wrong
How long's too long
All I want is us to be happy
Maybe moving
Always proving
Am I losing
All that's meant to be?
That's meant to be?
Ya hear a lot
Ya told a lot
It's nothing new to me
Maybe laughing
Something lacking
Always sometimes
All I hear is how, it's meant to be
Maybe learning
Always searching
Am I asking
Things I'll know too soon?
I'll know too soon
We talk a lot
Don't do a lot
It's nothing new to me
I give a lot
I take a lot
It's nothing new to me
It's nothing new to me
Wish I could lie in the sun
The same things as anyone
Wish I could lie down there
With my feet, high in the air
I'd have a drink in my hand
Read words from a newspaper stand
Wish I could lie in the sun
Wish I could fly like everyone
Same things as anyone
Same things as anyone
But you burn me up you paint my skin
In bad designs that ain't even in
My skin's crawling up the wall
Into the ocean I'd love to fall
I hear the sounds but they ain't the same
As feeling them with you two feet away
There's always more worse off than me
Suppose I'm lucky I can even see
All the people that I'd like to be
Passing me by everyday in the street
Same things as anyone
Same things as anyone
But you burn me up you paint my skin
In bad designs that ain't even in
I got good lungs, got a good heart
My mind is fit, and my feet can walk
And here I am in the shade on the street
Asking people for money to eat
What did I ever do to deserve this?
Did I kill a child or something worse?
Same things as anyone
What's the reason maybe make you feel
It's your time
It's your day
It's never too late
To change lanes
How's your life?
How's your place?
Was it where you wanted
Your head to lay?
But wait, you can breathe
You can see what I can see
Don't waste your time
You can't make back
If you could rewind your time
Would you change your life?
Do you like you?
Do you love your wife?
Or did you pick what
You're told was right?
Dream and be
What you feel
Don't you compromise
What you wanna be
'Cause change is okay
What's the point in staying the same
Regrets, forget what's dead and gone
If you could rewind your time
Would you change your life?
If Jesus rode in on a camel today
With your cross on his shoulder
Time to take you away
Have you done all you wanted?
Are you happy and warm?
Do you miss someone special
You don't see anymore?
Have you blood on your hands?
Do you dream of white sands?
Can you sleep well at night?
Have you done all you can?
The place I was born in
Stays crooked and straight
I see innocent blue eyes
Go blind everyday
Rewind your time
Would you change your life
Going down la la la
Going down la la la la la
I used to buy my sweets and candy treats at
Raymond's shop
I used to pass there everyday
The time I as come to buy a gun and hold up
Raymond's shop
It looks like I will be going away
Going down la la la
Going down la la la la la
It's been two years my minds not clear
I stop at Raymond's shop
It's boarded up he's gone away
The words got out and there's no doubt it came from
Raymond's shop
It looks like I will be going away
Play away ne ne nay play away
Its turned about its back on you
Your famous fifteen times by two
You ask around to find the truth
And all the fingers point at you
You're sick and low, my minds made up
You're 2 years down I'm back In luck
I wouldn't save you if you drown
Change what ya can,
but the rest you just gotta let go,
Taste every drop of life you can you know,
'Cause time is short it'll soon be time to go
Don't be afraid to dream and live life here and now
'cause that's what's real, all the rest of it is just
all make believe
So live here in the moment
and live that dream my angel
Be my saviour
Take my soul and live 'n' love today
So live your dream my angel
Be my saviour
Take my soul and live 'n' love today
You'll never understand it all when things go right or
wrong,
take that from me
In love 'n' life there ain't much sympathy
So grab your coat it's cold
and live that dream my angel
Be my saviour
Take my soul and live 'n' love today
So live your dream my angel
Be my saviour
Take my soul and live 'n' love today
You'll never understand it all
Read the writing on the wall
See the world and be what you wanna be
Don't be afraid to dream
Live 'n' love and live free
The rest is all make believe to me
So live your dream my angel
Be my saviour
Take my soul and live 'n' love today
So live your dream my angel
Be my saviour
Oh I stepped off the train at dawn
Walked along an open road
To find you
Oh you made beds at the gold motel
Sold junk at the carousel
To bind you
Lo... Lolita
You make my wheel set me free
Won't you come home with me?
Lo... Lolita
You make my wheel set me free
Won't you come home with me?
Oh we used to meet at the waterfall
Pink heather on the falling wall
Nothing to prove
Oh drank beer from a stolen can
Smoke cigarettes when we can
Because we like to
Lo... Lolita
You make my wheel set me free
Won't you come home with me?
Lo... Lolita
You make my wheel set me free
Won't you come home with me?
Memories tangled up the spokes that
Make my wheel
Make my wheel
Oh everything has gone wrong
I left you at the gold motel
Selling junk at the carousel
That bound you down
Can't find you now
Lo... Lolita
You make my wheel set me free
Won't you come home with me?
Lo... Lolita
You make my wheel set me free
Won't you come home with me?
Lo... Lolita
You make my wheel set me free
Won't you come home with me?
Lo... Lolita
There's no mistake, I smell that smell
It's that time of year again, I can taste the air
The clocks go back, railway track
Something blocks the line again
And the train runs late for the first time
A pebble beach, we're underneath, a pier that's just been painted red
Where I heard the news for the first time
And all the friends lay down the flowers
Sit on the banks and drink for hours
Talk of the way they saw him last
Local boy in the photograph
Today
He'll always be 23, yet the train runs on and on
Past the place they found his clothing
There's no mistake, I smell that smell
It's that time of year again, I can taste the air
The clocks go back, railway track
Something blocks the line again
And the train runs late for the first time
Today
And all the friends lay down the flowers
Sit on the banks and drink for hours
Talk of the way they saw him last
Local boy in the photograph
Today
Old sailor walks my way
Sipped his pint and told me about his day
Hey Hey
Said 'son times have changed
Nothing ever seems to stay the same'
Hey Hey
You got your wide screen sets, dead cert bets,
Wine and women, song and dance, alway practice safe sex
Think they call it fast food
High percent booze
Porta bubble phones got your hair like Keith Moon
In my day no one searched through my turn ups
In my day no one stole from the neighbours
In my day catch a film you got some pay left
In my day
Hey Hey
Old sailor walked away left me to think
How much the days have changed
Hey Hey
And I realised after a while he robbed me blind and slipped away
Hey Hey
He nicked my twelve quid watch
My left foot sock
Flicked ash in the pockets of my sta prest slacks
Said 'The days haven't changed, exactly the same
Take away the change same days same ways'
In my day no one searched through my turn ups
In my day no one stole from the neighbours
In my day catch a film you got some pay left
In my day
Hey Hey
San Francisco Bay
Past pier thirty nine
Early p.m.
Can't remember what time
Got the waiting cab
Stopped at the red light
Address, unsure of
But it turned out just right
It started straight off
"Coming here is hell"
That's his first words
We asked what he meant
He said " where ya' from?"
We told him our lot
"When ya' take a holiday
Is this what you want?"
So have a nice day
Have a nice day
Have a nice day
Have a nice day
Lie around all day
Have a drink to chase
"Yourself and tourists, yeah
That's what I hate"
He said "We're going wrong
We've all become the same
We dress the same ways
Only our accents change
So have a nice day
Have a nice day
Have a nice day
Have a nice day
Swim in the ocean
That be my dish
I drive around all day
And kill processed fish
It's all money gum
No artists anymore
You're only in it now
To make more, more, more
So have a nice day
Have a nice day
Have a nice day
Have a nice day
Have a nice day
Have a nice day
Have a nice day
Ever seen a blind man cross the road
Trying to make the other side?
Ever seen a young girl growing old
Trying to make herself a bride?
So what becomes of you my love
When they have finally stripped you of
The handbags and the gladrags
That your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy you
Once I was a young man
And all I thought I had to do was smile
Well you are still a young girl
And you've bourne everything in style
So once you think you're in you're out
'Cause you don't mean a single thing without
The handbags and the gladrags
That your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy you
Sing a song of six-pence for your sake
And drink a bottle full of rye
Four and twenty blackbirds in a cake
And bake 'em all in a pie
They told me you missed school today
So what I suggest you just throw them all away
The handbags and the gladrags
That your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy
They told me you missed school today
So what I suggest you just throw them all away
The handbags and the gladrags
you could lick or chew tongue in style
tonight champagne drag queen suit pinstripe
outta line it's time to try how blisters
on your feet blisters up your spine

i'm gonna find out, i'm gonna find a piece
I don't know why
I don't know what is wrong
Oh no
Is karma gonna get me?
At times that's all I see
It's not real
Wanna feel
Wanna feel, like I did before
Mornings I can't breathe
Wave crashes over me
And drowns me
Wind's running rings around me
It takes me time to see
What is real?
Wanna feel
Wanna feel
Like I did before
Like I did before
Time changes things
Like I never thought
Like I never saw?
Time changes me
I'm like I never was
Oh no
I'm looling back to what I was
I've seen my face right on the floor
And I love you, being around
I say it again, I'm not fucking around
I've seen in before
I'll see ut again
It's knocking my door
And it never pretends
I'm down on my knees
And I don't know where to go to find my way back home

I'm drowning
I'm drowning

Can't you see?
Don't you push me brother!
Don't you push me brother!
Don't you push me brother!
Don't you push me brother!

Don't you push me brother!
Don't you
Don't you push me brother!
Don't you
Don't you push me brother!
i watched the water rise in our house
the rain poured in and washed out our stuff
my father drank from beer bottles
then he'd say
we'll walk on, walk on, what's done, is done
walk on, my son, never let this world drag you down
all that we had was deep in the mud
our photographs and family treasures
my mother drank from beer bottles
then she'd say
we'll walk on, walk on, what's done, is done
walk on, my son, never let this world drag you down
don't let it bring you down (and let your head drop down)
don't let the sun go down (and let your light go out)
don't let yourself fall down
just pick yourself up from the street and get up on your
feet
walk on, walk on, what's done, is done
walk on, my son, never let this world drag you down
he was walking 'round to you one said
french afternoon so he called in to a shop
for two he brought himself an ice drink a
totally tropical nice drink then he saw
what he thought was you in a room he
tought about goin' over but you were
always much older abd your sex dressed
breasts impressed too he'd really like to
get it together before the twelve of never
so he's coming over it's when all the
phases come around
the clothes you wear the sex and love
it's enough for the time outta touch out of
luck he always liked them older so that his
top lip touched on her shoulder
lionized undisguised kill for you like to
show you his teeshirt suntan like to show
you his minute head stand then a gun spun
There's just time for another
Could down me another one
When I'm leaving with the others
Going home sweet home, surprise someone
Put my key into the front door
Keeping quiet but I'm drunk
When I'm creeping up the old stairs
Stepping over the one, the one that's done
Now my head is starting spinning
Spinning round and round
Could be you with a man in our bed
Or it could be the wine, surprise
There's still time for another
Could down me another one
But while I'm leaving with the others
No home sweet home, surprise no one
Throw my keys into the river
Singing louder than a drunk
And while we're sleeping on the old stairs
Staying up 'till its sun, down another one
Now my head is starting spinning
Spinning round and round
Could be you with a man in our bed
Or it could be the wine, surprise
There's still time for another
Could down me another one
When I'm leaving with the others
The tax man's taken all my dough
And left me in my stately home
Lazing on a sunny afternoon
I can't even sail my yacht
He's taken everything I've got
All I've got's this sunny afternoon
Oh save me, save me, save me from this squeeze
I gotta big fat mama trying to break me
And I love to live so pleasantly
Live this life of luxury
Lazing on a sunny afternoon
In the summertime
In the summertime
In the summertime
My girlfriend's run off with my car
And gone back to her ma and pa
Telling tails of drunkenness and cruelty
Now I'm sitting here
Sipping at my ice cold beer
All I've got's this sunny afternoon
Help me, help me, help me sail away
Well give me two good reasons why I oughta stay
'Cause I love to live so pleasantly
Live this life of luxury
Lazing on a sunny afternoon
In the summertime
In the summertime
In the summertime
Ah save me save me save me from this squeeze
I gotta big fat mama trying to break me
And I love to live so pleasantly
Live this life of luxury
Lazing on a sunny afternoon
In the summertime
In the summertime
I heard you're doing well
Selling art and everything
I like you're stuff; good for you
I'll buy a piece or maybe two
Do you ever think of me?
Do you remember all our stupid dreams?
Rainbows and pots of gold
So much to prove before we got old
I took you places round the world
I miss you're face sometimes you know
You took my picture a thousand times
I bought them back; I don't mind
I lost my way but found my track
I'm sorry if I never listened back
I've been round; I've been up and down
And you missed the one we dressed like clowns
And how's your car and how's your life?
How's my friend; when's she gonna be your wife?
I'm sitting up writing down
These things I sometimes dream about
I knew your number off by heart
It's the only one I like to talk
It wasn't me using you
I trusted you; one of the few
And we had some laughs; had some rows
But in the end the walls came down
You like the place I'm living now
It's a shame you can't come around
And I've grown a lot since we last spoke
Got myself together; fixed what was broke
I wonder if we'll talk again
Or drink together just like then
I suppose it's different now it's new
Whoever points the finger at who
I really hope you're happy both of you
she's got another fantasy
she lives in flat number twenty three
picked first prize for carnival queen
and now she takes her clothes off
collects the covers off her magazines
she longs to be another teenage dream
the problem is she's turning forty three
she still takes her clothes off
she got the nick name porta bubble joan
they found her dead dead as nails at home
and she said i'm gonna be another marilyn
bleach my hair and get real thin
and everybody's gonna wanna dance with me
she loved to have her little fantasies
she longed to be the wife of jimmy dean
but jimmys head sits in jimmys knees
she loves to take her clothes off
police are looking around at twenty three
they found her hanging from her swollen
feet they saw her dance last in woolworth
street
she loved to take her clothes off
she got the nick name porta bubble joan
they found her dead dead as nails at home
and she said i'm gonna be another marilyn
bleach my hair and get real thin
and everybody's gonna wanna dance with me
everybody wants to be the carnival queen
everybody wants to be the carnival
king or queen
we all read the books
she takes her clothes off one by one
Standing on a rooftop
Trying to clear my mind
I only came up to look
But now there's such a crowd
I don't feel that bad
Can't help but laugh
And they cry out
They say jump and I say how high?
I feel my body blowing
From every side to side
My mind can't help but knowing...
What it feels like to fly
I don't feel that bad
Can't help but laugh
But they cry out
They say jump and I say how high?
They say jump and I say I might
And they cry out
And they cry out
Say jump and I say I might
Say jump and I say I'll try
Say jump and I say I'll say goodbye
Say jump and I say how high
High, High, Fly, Fly
I'm just standing on the edge of
Something I should try to hide from
I don't know much but I know something
I need to try and find me a way
Try I always come out fighting
I don't feel I should deny me
Can't help knowing what is down there
Feels like I should fly now for them
I'm fascinated, mis-educated, It's reincarnation
Of my imagination
I'm far away, from here today
It's where I'll stay if I get my way
It's lying awake, that makes me sane
You say you want a revolution, well, you know
We all want to change the world
You tell me that it's evolution, well, you know
We all want to change the world
But when you talk about destruction
Don't you know that you can count me out?
Don't you know it's gonna be alright?
Don't you know it's gonna be alright?
Don't you know it's gonna be alright?
You say you've got a real solution, well, you know
We'd all love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution, well, you know
We're all doing what we can
But when you want money for people with minds that hate
All I can tell you is, brother, you'll have to wait
Don't you know it's gonna be alright?
Don't you know it's gonna be alright?
Don't you know it's gonna be alright?
Alright
You say you'll change the constitution, well, you know
We all want to change your head
You tell me it's the institution, well, you know
You better free your mind instead
But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao
You ain't gonna make it with anyone anyhow
Don't you know it's gonna be alright?
Don't you know it's gonna be alright?
Don't you know it's gonna be alright?

September seventeen
For a girl I know it's Mother's Day
Her son has gone alee
And that's where he will stay
Wind on the weathervane
Tearing blue eyes sailor-mean
As Falstaff sings a sorrowful refrain
For a boy in Fiddler's Green
His tiny knotted heart
Well, I guess it never worked too good
The timber tore apart
And the water gorged the wood
You can hear her whispered prayer
For men at masts that always lean
That same wind that moves her hair
Moves a boy through Fiddler's Green
Ohhhh nothing changed anyway
Ahh nothing's changed anyway
Ahh anytime the day
He doesn't know a soul
And there's nowhere that he's really been
But he won't travel long alone
No, not in Fiddler's Green
Balloons all filled with rain
As children's eyes turn sleepy-mean
And Falstaff sings a sorrowful refrain
Here it comes again
Like the first time again
I cant sleep
I watch the rain
But im happy again
How can this be
Why did this feeling
Creep on up on me
I cant be sure
You never can
But the signs i know
Where does it come from
Where does it go
Why does it kill you
Painful and slow
Im out of the fire
Im into your home
I wanna feel you feel you feel you
Feel you again
It makes you a cheat
It makes you a liar
Step out of the fire
It gives a spring in the step
Smile on the face
Sing like a bird
Ya running the race again
What makes you bad
Makes you feel much better
Than you ever can
You cant touch it see it breathe it
Feel its all you can
It makes the world go round
It makes you homeward bound
It makes you want it more
You look around every corner
To see if theres more around
You wanna take it all its never quite enough
You know ya need it all
You wanna feel it feel it feel it feel it again
It'll kill you in the end
But not to have it
You havent lived
It will break you
Make you
Take you
Hate you again
From me to you
From you to me
Look out your window
And you will feel it feel it feel it feel it more
Here it comes again
That feeling again
I cant sleep
Sit and watch the rain
Again watch the rain
Doorman you got an attitude
Ya like immigration in a cheaper suit
You'd like nothing more than to break my face
No rhyme no reason no colour or race
You'd like to throw me out on the street
It ain't my fault that you can't read
You look like a monkey scowling at me (ooh ooh aah aah)
Well suck my banana suck it with cream
'Cause all I wanna do
Is get closer to you
'Cause all I wanna do
Is make a mess out of you
Promotion for you is to stamp my wrist
If you're a good boy ya get the guest list
Ya don't listen don't think no mind of your own (yeah yeah yeah yeah)
Your job is prevention but you just provoke (yeah yeah)
'Cause all I wanna do
Is get closer to you
'Cause all I wanna do
Is make a mess out of you
Yeah eh yeah yeah
'Cause all I wanna do
Is get closer to you
'Cause all I wanna do
Is make a mess out of you
'Cause all I wanna do
Is get closer to you
'Cause all I wanna do
Is make a mess out of
Seven day holiday in the rain, it's June
At the time we were plain old me and you
It didn't matter that the sky came down
I never really felt like going out
Seven days watching rain inside with you
Saturday watched the game you fried our food
Nothing busy nothing easy but something you
It didn't matter that we couldn't eat out
My ship sank and my shoes were damp
Seven days hearing rain inside with you
There's always time to complain about the weather
Seasons change in a day just like each other
But we wait for summer
Seven day holiday in the rain with you
Lie awake drinking late is all that's left to do
Not a sound but the rain on the pale blue roof
It didn't matter that we couldn't sleep out
I never really felt like sleeping rough
Seven day holiday drinking dry with you
There's always time to complain about the weather
Seasons change in a day just like each other
But we wait for summer
Seven day holiday in the rain with you
Woke up with the shakes on the bathroom floor
The sun is shining, I felt like drinking some more
Sunday's takeaway welded on my elvis tray
It's a pound a can in the garden all day
Start at noon, keep on going through til two
Dabbing speed like a monkey in a fucking zoo
Get your girl in the bathroom, after flirting all day
It's the time of your life on Bank Holiday Monday
Street Fighting
Yet some day
You get out
Out of those mondays
Yes some say
They were the best days
Out of our minds
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
8 O'clock time to catch the next bus to town
When the drink is in, the wit is most definitely out
Late bars, fight starts, between my brother and I
Get kicked out so we hold tight and take it outside
Dodging cars, new scars, fighting out on the road
Knees me in the chest my head and arse hits the floor
Swallowed tongue, what we done, someone's hand in my mouth
Got to pull it back out on a Bank Holiday Monday
Street Fighting
Yet some day
You get out
Out of those mondays
Yes some say
They were the best days
Out of our minds
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
I want to stick him real hard with a kitchen knife
But we share the same bed in my mam's house tonight
I wait, I wait, I wait, until he walks up the lane
It's all the fun of the fair on Bank Holiday Monday
Street Fighting
Yet some day
You get out
Out of those mondays
Yes some say
They were the best days
Out of our minds
Angie Angie
When will those clouds all disappear?
Angie Angie
Where will it lead us from here?
With no loving in our soul and no money in our coats
Well you can't say we're satisfied
Angie Angie
Well, you can't say we never tried
Angie beautiful but ain't it time we said goodbye?
Angie I still love you
Remember all those nights we cried?
All the dreams we held so close
Seemed to all go up in smoke
Well, let me whisper in your ear
Angie, Angie
Where will it lead us from here?
Oh Angie don't you weep
All your kisses still taste sweet
I hate that sadness in your eyes
Angie Angie
Ain't it time we said goodbye?
With no loving in our soul and no money in our coats
You can't say we're satisfied
But Angie
I still love you baby
Ev'rywhere I look I see your eyes
There ain't a woman that comes close to you
So come on baby dry your eyes
Angie Angie
Ain't it good to be alive?
Angie Angie
why don't you take a look in my mouth
why don't you take a look at yourself
so why don't you take a look around
so why don't we take a look inside
roll out the shock parade
free falling from a stage
performance and cocktails
roll up and shine
I hang the devil from a circus wire
face up seats four in love spittin fire
so why don't you take a look around
so why don't we take a look inside
it's time to live it's time to love
it's time to do what's afraid of
it's time to breathe time to relieve
it's time to shine
so why don't you take a look around
so why don't we take a look inside
roll out the shock parade
free falling from a stage
performance and cocktails
roll up and shine
bring on your shock parade
freaks falling from the stage
performance and cocktails
I feel awash
Close down the street
Yeah Chaplin walks
Be 9:15
And I hear them, hear them call his name
And I see him, see him turn away
They take him in
And clean him up
They take him in
And strip him down
They dry his skin
And feed him wine
And I hear them, hear them call his name
And I see him, see him turn away
Ask's to use the phone
Yeah he lives alone, he lives alone
There's no one, no one home to phone
He sits alone at home
He call his home his own
You stole my money honey
You're cold your blood's stopped running
And know you're buying your new life
Can't help but find you funny
The clothes you wear are something
You made your whole life boasting lies
Pretend you're high and something
To think, you think I'm dumb, you're blind!
I'll get by fine without you
I lie about you
You got no spine only mine
Don't you know wrong from right
It's up to you
You're such a fool
See I'm a giver, taker!
You liked your cocaine chaser
The girls you love all sleep around
You got a piece of something
But what it's worth is nothing
Coz what you want you just can't buy
Pretend you're high on something
To think you think I'm dumb, you're blind
I'll get by fine without you
I lie about you
You got no spine only mine
Don't you know wrong from right
You got no style about you
I try to like you
I got no time for you now
Cos your time's running out
It's up to you
You're such a fool
I'll get by fine without you
I lie about you
You got no spine only mine
Don't you know wrong from right
You got no style about you
I try to like you
I got no time for you now
Cos your time's running out
It's up to you
It's up to you
Such a fool
I'd just like to say
I remember the day
I first woke with you
Some days I have to admit
The way we happened to meet
Was strange 'cos it was new
Not drinking no more
Not drinking no less
Not sleeping at all
Never in the same bed
Undressed at the bar
Engraved bench in the park
We'd watch them fly Sundays
Fly birds round my head again
Laughed at the words you said
I pushed the boat back to you
I flew from the rain again
Killed you with what I said
You already knew
Not thinking no more
Not drinking no less
Not sleeping at all
Never in the same bed
Undressed at the bar
Engraved bench in the park
We'd watch them fly Sundays
They say if something
Should fly away
And it fly's back to you again
So it started with the immigration information bore
You gotta know
Gambling floor, then to the
S T U D I O 54
You gotta go
Now we're leaving L A S Vegas two times
Crazy horse too spent us dry
Vietnam vet taxi ride
L A S Vegas
So parted at the ground floor, front door, car hire room for four
We gotta go
Rambling slow then to the LA marquis all the imitation folk
We gotta go.
Now we're leaving L A S Vegas two times
Crazy horse too spent us dry
Vietnam vet taxi ride
L A S Vegas
Leave
Leave
Leave
Leave
Now we're leaving L A S Vegas two times
Crazy horse too spent us dry
Vietnam vet taxi ride
Come again we'll make you fly
Vietnam vet taxi ride
Crazy horse too spent us dry
We all face the same way, still it takes all day
I take a look to my left, pick out the worst and the best
She paints her lip, greasy and thick, another mirror stare
And she's going where?
Another office affair to kill an unborn scare
You talk dirty to a priest, it makes them human at least
But is she running away, to start a brand new day
Or she going home, why's she driving alone?
Is anyone goin' anywhere?
Everyone gotta be somewhere
She got a body in the boot or just bags full of food
Those are model's legs but are they women's, are they men's
She shouts down the phone, missed a payment on the loan
She gotta be above the rest, keepin' up with the best
Is anyone goin' anywhere?
Everyone gotta be somewhere
Waits tables for a crook, you wrote a hard back book
You teach kids how to read or sell your body on the street
A nurse without a job, another up town snob
But have I got you all wrong, one look and you were gone
Is anyone goin' anywhere?
Is anyone goin' anywhere?
Is anyone goin' anywhere?
Shopping spree for the family tree, haven't seen your family tree, in quite a while
Too many sandwiches and wine, sherry stains down your best mans tie, what a speech
The band arrive, the grannies cry, the singers tongue's's in the bar maids mouth, what a voice
Grandpa drunk a drop or two and his head's still stuck down the portaloo, what a man
You bought a sequin dress for your chicken breasts, the discos late and he's overpaid tonight
You got a diamond ring and a man who sings, the man who sings made love to the bar maid twice
And that's just tonight
The blue rinsed hairs lift up their chairs
The bands too loud, they're off down stairs what a noise
The bride and groom they dance their dance
The singer mimes there's still a chance, the bar maid smiles
You bought a sequin dress for your chicken breasts, the discos late and he's overpaid tonight
You got a diamond ring and a man who sings, the man who sings made love to the bar maid twice
And that's just tonight
You bought a sequin dress for your chicken breasts, the discos late and he's overpaid tonight
You got a diamond ring and a man who sings, the man who sings made love to the bar maid twice
Grandpa drunk a drop or two and his head's still stuck down the portaloo, what a man
The bride and groom they dance their dance, the singer mimes there's still a chance tonight
She came from Providence
The one in Rhode Island
Where the old world shadows
Hang heavy in the air
She packed her hopes and dreams like a refugee
Just as her father came across the sea
She heard about a place people were smilling
They spoke about the red mans way
And how they loved the land
And they came from everywhere to the Great Divide
Seeking a place to stay or a place to hide
Down in the crowded bars
Out for the good time
Can't wait to tell you all what its like up there
They called it paradise
I dont know why
Somebody laid the mountains low
While the town got high
Then the chilly winds blew down
Across the desert
Through the canyons of the coast to the Malibu
Where the pretty people play
Hungry for power
To light their neon ways and give them things to do
Some rich men came and raped the land
Nobody caught em
Put up a bunch of boxes and Jesus people bought 'em
They called it paradise
The place to be
They watched the hazy sun sinking in the sea
You can leave it all behind and sail to Lahaina
Just like the missionaries did so many years ago
They even brought a neon sign "Jesus is coming"
Brought the white mans burden down
Brought the white mans reign
Who will provide the grand design ?
What is yours and what is mine ?
Cause there is no more new frontier
We have got to make it here
We satisfy our endless needs
And justify our bloody deeds
In the name of destiny
And in the name of God
And you can see them there on Sunday morning
Stand up and sing about what its like up there
They call it paradise
I dont know why
You call some place paradise
You don't know what it's been like
Meeting someone like you
You don't know what it's been like
Meeting someone like you
You look like Jesus on a aeroplane
Ya head's against the window pane
You got opinions but you ain't got news
You got good laughs but when it suits you
You turn it on like a leaking tap
And dripping dropping people drop of a hat
You gotta mouth but you ain't got guts
That drunken mouth you should keep it shut
You don't know what it's been like
Meeting someone like you
You don't know what it's been like
Meeting someone like you
Superman on a aeroplane
Sitting next to Lois Lane
You gotta that woman but you want her gone
So you can sleep with a teenage blonde
You wear a mask wear an armoured suit
Can't get to you with the gun I shoot
You play your cards close to your chest because ya
Poker face is a dreadry mess
You don't know what it's been like
Meeting someone like you
You don't know what it's been like
Meeting someone like you
You don't know what it's been like
Meeting someone like you
You don't know what it's been like
Meeting someone like you
Meeting someone like you
Meeting someone like you
Meeting someone like you
Meeting someone like you
Meeting someone like you
Meeting someone like ah ah ah aah
Superman on a aeroplane
Sitting next to Lois Lane
You gotta that woman but you want her gone
So you can fuck a teenage blonde
You turn it on like a leaking tap
And dripping dropping people drop of a hat
You gotta mouth but you ain't got guts
Summertime and the living is easy
Fish are jumping the cotton is high
Your daddy's rich and your mother's good lookin'
So hush little baby and don't you cry.
One of these mornings your gonna wind up singing
Your gonna spread your wings and reach for the sky
But until that mornin' your gonna wind up singin'
I don't know why I let you go
You said you'd wait I said I'd hope you would
We talked 'til late until we walked away
What's meant to be will be the same
And I feel like stone
Yes I feel ice cold
I pick myself up from the ground
Sick to death of lying down
And now I have to find you once again
You're in my soul
You're in my mind
But I don't know where you are now
You're in my soul
You're in my mind
But I don't know where you are now
Driving round and round until its dawn
To look for you in rooms we used to go
I held you back, I had to set you free
But now I know what's meant to be
And I feel like stone
Yes I feel ice cold
I pick myself up from the ground
Sick to death of lying down
And now I have to find you once again
You're in my soul
You're in my mind
But I don't know where you are now
You're in my soul
You're in my mind
But I don't know where you are now
You're in my soul
You're in my mind
But I don't know where you are now
You're in my soul
You're in my mind
I'd like to know what it's all about?
What's out there?
Am I gonna get old and laugh?
About something
Will I get me a boy or a girl?
Or not either?
Will I get what I want from this world?
I'm a day dreamer
Then I watch the old couple dance
Step on my old size nines and I'll take you 'round
I'd like to know what you're all about?
What's up there?
Are you gonna get old and laugh?
Without a care
Will you get you a boy or a girl
Or not either?
Will you get what you want from this world?
A day dreamer?
Then I watch the old couple dance
Step on my old size nines and I'll take you 'round
I'd love to know what we're all about
We all have done
Am I gonna get old and laugh?
With someone?
Think I'll get me a boy and a girl
Or not either?
Will I get what I want from this world?
I'm a daydreamer
Then I watch the old couple dance
Black and blue from the wind and the rain
Said I'm sorry for the lies and the pain
I never ever meant to make you cry
If I could take you back, you know, I would,
I wanna burn up and die
So take a look at me now
Since I told you it's over
You got a hole in your heart
I'll find a four leaf clover
You can't tell me this now
This far down the line
That you're never, ever gonna get over me
You've seen a cross, it's a cross I bear
You're drinking, hard up, living without a hope or a care
You're making do to please, see what makes you smile
You're not around for long, you gotta see what's gonna move your life right along
So take a look at me now
Since I told you it's over
You got a hole in your heart
I'll find a four leaf clover
You can't tell me this now
This far down the line
That you're never, ever gonna get over me
I'm lost
I'm cold
I'm getting old
My head is filled with lies I told
I've been down
I've been around
But I've fallen on my own two feet
And I've left you out to drown
I never meant for that
I look around, sometimes I stare
I think back now and then, I hope you know I care
I walked away that day, trying to treat you right
But you were on your track, it was me turning back, I left you freezing outside
So take a look at me now
Since I told you it's over
You got a hole in your heart
I'll find a four leaf clover
You can't tell me this now
This far down the line
That you're never, ever gonna get over me
Never get over me
Never get over me
But you were on your track, it was me turning back, I left you freezing outside
So take a look at me now
Since I told you it's over
You got a hole in your heart
I'll find a four leaf clover
You can't tell me this now
A week's too long not to ring
Re-colors her hair and waits for him
No cat against dog, just head over heels
Sex twice a day, best time in years
Oh no, why hasn't he phoned?
She has to wait until he's on his own
Lyin' and denyin' till nobody knows
I'll tell her this week is what he tells her to keep her on loan
He'll buy her one day
Sex drives, oral highs, cheated wives and spies
Cream cakes, coffee dates, floral gifts, goodbye
Passed away, for the day, had a change of kind
Sex change, too mundane for the average mind
Haa no, she just can't see where he is or where he's been
Looked prime and straight like she's always been
All that she saved for went missin' again
She could be, she could be
She could be wrong
She could be, she could be
She could be wrong
She could be, she could be
She could be wrong
It looks like, it looks like the word's got round
They found a body in the lake
Maybe, it wasn't really his name
Same color, same weight, same size feet
It's the not knowing that kills you
Oh no, the clock's stopped slow
Every time you're on your own
You hide from the spies so nobody knows
Scratch through the pages of a lazy days news for a clue
Still looking for you
You're not in business to be popular
It's become so much about personality
I regard the theatre as the greatest of all arts form
The most immediate way in which a human being
Can share with another the sense of what appears to be unity
First of all I choose the great roles
And if none of these come
I choose the ones that pay the rent
It was like unfinished business in my life
Wherever I went people would say
You would have made a great James Bond. Yes.
Lets face it postmen do not great movie heroes make
The imagination, the industry
And encourages the free eyes at the door
Do not try to push your way
Through the front gates? of the profession
But do your upmost to find an entry
Through the world of theatre
There' s the same surge of adrenalin
You get just before the camera roles.
We have lost our sense of ritual and ceremony
But we blame the artists for not finding them for us
Actors often behave like children
And so they're taken for children
Such is an actors life.
Lets face it postmen do not great movie heroes make
They tramp discontently through the neighbourhood
And the only matter of contact with fellow human beings
Tends to be
Tends to be reading names and adresses off an envelope
There is a great job
There is the same surge of adrenalin
You get just before the camera roles
You gotta lotta nerve to say you are my friend
When I was down you just stood there grinnin'
You gotta lotta nerve to say you got a helping hand to lend
You just wanna be on the side that's winnin'
You say I let you down, you know it's not like that
If you're so hurt why then don't you show it?
You say you lost your faith, but that's not where it's at
You have no faith to lose, and you know it
I know the reason that you talk behind my back
I used to be among the crowd you're in with
Do you take me for such a fool
To think I would make contact?
The one who tries to hide what he don't know
To begin with
You see me on the street, you always act surprised
You see how I could look, but you don't mean it
When you know as well as me
You'd rather see me paralized
Why don't you just come at once out screaming
No, I do not feel that good
I see the heartbreaks you embrace
If I was a master thief perhaps I'd rob them
And though you're dissatisfied with your position
And your place
Don't you understand, it's not my problem?
I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes
And just for that one moment I could be you
Yes, I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes
She slept on an iron bed lived through the war for what?
Butterflies round the fire smiled
Smiled until she's robbed of all she's got
I heard the innocent got shot today
Grandma died on poppy day
I heard the dress downed got turned away
All died, died on poppy day
Fancy dress in a dress down town
Happy halloween
Door breaks open lost and walked in
Killing the happy scene
I heard the innocent got shot today
Grandma died on poppy day
I heard the dress downed got turned away
Old dad died on poppy day
I heard the innocent got shot today
Grandma died on poppy day
I heard the dress downed got turned away
Old dad died on poppy day
i've never been here before
didn't know where to go
never met you before
i've never been to your home
that smells not unknown
foot steps made of stone
walking feels familiar
you can do all the things that
you like to do
all around underground pick a part
that's new
you can do all the things that
you like to do
all around upside down pick a part
that's new
people drinking on their own
push buttons on the phone
was i here once before
is that my voice on the phone
that last drink on my own
did i ever leave at all
confusions familiar
It's beautiful, I'm a fool, tried to save you from the
Rainy days
Looking back down the track I'm the one who carried
All your weight
Yes you lie all the time and I don't believe you
Ba ba ba, ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba
Dodging blame catching planes ride my tail to freedom
Ba ba ba, ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba
You don't know what it is you got
You don't know where you're going
You don't know what is right from wrong
All that you do is lie so
Just get out of my life
You're passing the buck
Get in, just hold up your hands and take the shame
Just get out you're lying again take the blame
Just get out of my life and be a man
Yeah yeah yeah
Look at you, what you do? My ears are burning from the
Tales you spin
Cracks me up that you love telling people all the lies
You made
I'm the one that tried time and time again to please ya
Ba ba ba, ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba
Forgetting me and misery, what did you ever give me
Back?
Ba ba ba, ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba
Bridge
Chorus
If you can
Hold up your hands
Understand
Chorus
If you can
Hold up your hands
If you like it I'll fight
If you like we can take it outside
If it makes you feel nice
Does it make you feel alright inside?
Do you do the same every night?
When you're bored do you start up a fight?
A small part of your life
Or does your life come alive on a Saturday night
You make me laugh, you make me low
Make me hate, make me throw
Make me wanna drag your face
Along the side of the road
What's the matter with you?
Why do you do what you do?
Hope ya happy, feeling big now?
Do you pick a shape or a size?
Or just as long as they're too drunk to fight
Do you give the same to your wife
Or do you save it for the slut you're fucking on the side?
You think you know what I'm like
You think you know me 'cause you see my face all of the time
You gotta open your eyes
Take a good look around, take yourself for a ride
You make me laugh, you make me low
Make me hate, make me throw
Make me wanna drag your face
Along the side of the road
What's the matter with you?
Why do you do what you do?
Hope ya happy, feeling big now?
I hear you brag it up high
I bet you missed out the part when you started to cry
You couldn't look in my eyes
And now you're walking away with your head in the sky
You make me laugh, you make me low
Make me hate, make me throw
Make me wanna drag your face
Along the side of the road
What's the matter with you?
Why do you do what you do?
I been people watching again
I think they watch me too
There's a new girl at the coffee house
She's got first day blues
She's got red hair and a motorbike
And lime green shoes
A mohair hat and a summers dress
And black tattoos
And then she fly away
In her high heel feet
And her fire dress
And she's throwing things
That took her time to save it up
And buy what's special
Then she look around
And sees what's left
And it's nothing much
Nothing precious at all
Nothing precious at all
Gonna drink herself to sleep tonight
And that's nothing new
She goes out almost nine every night
And gets high as the moon
She takes photographs of American cars
Where she went to school
She likes fireworks and candlelight
And fake bad news
And then she fly away
In her high heel feet
And her fire dress
And she's throwing things
That took her time to save it up
And buy what's special
Then she look around
And sees what's left
And it's nothing much
Nothing precious at all
Nothing precious at all
Nothing precious at all
Is she a loner or a mother's girl
That's up to you
She got fine lines round her tired eyes
And they're painted blue
She could sleep around with anyone
If she wanted to
Gotta go my time is up right now
salt grips the road awaits his lift again street orange glow shades the odds against one
more sip a shoe a miss a shaving nick one extra kiss who's to know whatever! not up
to me not up to you swings don't swing the parks been dead for years how do you
know the last swing weren't your last for good hard book on freaks fresh summer
peach creased magazine sugar chocolate treat who's to know whatever! not up
to me not up to you the street's so long where she lost her pocket purse kept the last
picture of the man she committed first cracked windscreen rain french murder play
junk take away tired street parades who's to know whatever! whatever! not up to me
not up to you
You asked me so where have you been
Let me think now let me see
I stood once where Hitlers feet
had stood when he made his speech
In Nuremburg in thirty eight
When he tried to build the perfect race
He said black man ain't gonna run
Alongside our perfect sons
There was Dallas too, the library
The place they ended Kennedy
We stood where Oswald took his shot
In my opinion there's a bigger plot
Costners back and to the left
The picket fence the better bet
Paris came and summer went
The tunnel's now a flower bed
The famous turf that made Jeff Hurst
The vodka stops to quench my thirst
The Golden Gate stroke Alcatraz
And the fat man failed to get us passes
Jimmys corner in Raging Bull
De Niros jokes and bottled pills
Elvis tales from Mr Woodward
Any Richard Burton if you could
Tourists stare at tourist stops
One more picture one more God
Another top up for a change
It makes you think, it makes you sane
Talking more about yourself
There's a mirror too, have a check
Cheques are always passing through
Some depart but a lot come too
Restaurant talk or pick your teeth
You bite your tongue or chew your meat
Sleep or drink or drink to sleep
And one more week and we will meet
We'll talk of what we haven't done
Since we departed back a month
We argue why we have to shout
I’ve just turned twenty six and she was twenty three
She wore a crucifix but never preached at me
We’d stay up all the night until the day was dead
I’ll get these feelings got inside my broken head
Wanna fly away
And change my ways
Chorus
I’ll beat myself to death when she sits next to me
I wanna free myself from all this misery
I wanna taste the love but life’s against up me
But I am …
My own worst enemy
I try to get some sleep her arms are over me
I’m staring at the walls that closing in on me
There’s somebody through the blinds that watches over
Today’s the day I turn myself to set me free
Wanna fly away
And change my ways

Chorus
I’ll beat myself to death when she sits next to me
I wanna free myself from all this misery
I wanna taste the love but life’s against up me
But I am …
My own worst enemy
Feel .. Wanna feel it .. wanna feel it .. wanna feel it
I wanna fly away
And change my ways
Chorus
I’ll beat myself to death when she sits next to me
I wanna free myself from all this misery
I wanna taste the love but life’s against up me
But I am ..
My own worst enemy
Worst enemy …. worst enemy
Analyse tabloid lies
From god to art, you need a star
You're in my soul, you're in my mind
I walk on water every night
Movie star, dunno where you are
Movie star, dunno who you are
I love your taste, I love your shape
I love the things about you, all the critics hate
Fill my soul I once was blind
You turn my water into wine
Movie star, dunno where you are
Movie star dunno who you are
You don't know what it's like (here)
You don't know what it's like (here)
You don't know what it's like (here)
Movie star
Movie star
Movie star
Movie star
Get me high, you blow my mind
You make my mundane life all worth while
You give me reason, give me rhyme
Do anything for you just, give me a sign
Movie star, dunno where you are
Movie star, dunno who you are
Movie star, dunno where you are
Mary Mary where you been
You've been out all night
You ain't got no sleep
I've been dancing in the hills
At a place I know
She said 'and that's the place
Where the fire flies glow'
Had to slap my white face
Pull my head from the clouds
And I kept
Buying and, lying and flying, relying and dying
To know what spins her world around
Good morning I missed ya
But ya bring me down
I saw an Indian roller
Today on the line
It was the forty eighth hour
We fought our forty eighth fight
Madame Helga's folly
Is where I spent last night
She's been married not once
Not twice, but three
And that's the livin' lovin' woman
I want me to be
There were pictures and paintings
Of freaks like me
So I drank with my devil
For my company
Had to slap my white face
Pull my head from my clouds
And I kept
Buying and, lying and flying, relying and dying
To know what spins her world around
Good morning I missed ya
But ya bringing me down
I saw an Indian roller
Today on the line
It was the forty eighth hour
We fought our forty eighth fight
Madame Helga's folly
Is where I spent last night
Good morning I missed ya
But ya bringing me down
I saw an Indian roller
Today on the line
It was the forty eighth hour
We fought our forty eighth fight
Madame Helga's folly
Ten minutes flat after bad day in the factory
I'm drinkin' like a dog in the sun
I don't need to eat or sleep a wink at the weekend
Just rot my guts
And I can't wait for my next drink
The first one is gonna sink, I'm the last of the big time drinkers
I take pride in my work, I'm the last of the big time drinkers
The beer don't taste the same without my name painted on my glass
I don't live to work, I work to live and live at the weekend
And maybe spend a week in the sun
I come home, wet the bed, throw my sheets out of the window
And Sunday morning comes
And I can't wait for my next drink
The first one is gonna sink, I'm the last of the big time drinkers
I take pride in my work, I'm the last of the big time drinkers
The beer don't taste the same without my name painted on my glass
And I can't wait for my next drink
The first one is gonna sink, I'm the last of the big time drinkers
I take pride in my work, I'm the last of the big time drinkers
Just give me hops or the slops, I'm the last of the big time drinkers
We're falling now, can't make it stop
Our arms are open for the thing we want
But what we want just can't have
What could've been but the timing's bad
Don't cry cry baby now
You're my my Lady Luck
We follow the signs to make us meet
Into the night, to places no-one sees
I never learned from looking back
You picked me up from off my back
But now it seems our time has passed
Don't cry cry baby now
You're my my Lady Luck
You picked me up right off my back
I'd fallen down you brought me up
We shared the night until the morning comes to take us
Back away to where, we chose to belong
But maybe we're wrong but we gotta be strong
There's too much to loose
And maybe we're fools, who knows
Who knows, who knows
We follow the signs to make us meet
Jealousy my devil
Jealousy my hell
Jealousy insomnia
Jealousy sleep well
Innocence is heaven
Innocence is hell
Innocence in everyone
Innocence is dead
Four and twenty black boys
Singing in the street
Getting high on most things
Wishing they were free
My angel, my devil
My hell, my heaven
My storm, my calm
My photograph, my palm
Four and twenty white boys
Singing in the the street
Getting high on most things
Wishing they were free
I've been your preacher
I've been your boy
I've been your teacher
I've been your joy
I've been your drunk
I've been your home
I've been your rock
You've been my stone
Four and twenty poor boys
Singing in the street
Getting high on most things
Did we lose ourselves again?
Did we take in what's been said?
Did we take the time to be,
All the things we said we'd be?
So we bury hopes in sand
And my future's in my hands
It means nothing
It means nothing
You can find yourself a God
Believe in which one you want
Coz they love you all the same
They just go by different names
Did ya fly your flag today?
Are you proud or just ashamed?
It means nothing
It means nothing
It means nothing
It means nothing
It means nothing
If I haven't got you
If I haven't got you
If I haven't got you
If I haven't got you
The sun sets in the sky
You're the apple of my eye
If the bomb goes off again
Blows my brain around the train
And I hope that I'm with you
Coz I wouldn't know what to do
It means nothing
It means nothing
It means nothing
It means nothing
It means nothing
If I haven't got you
If I haven't got you
If I haven't got you
it's another way to get through the day
picking up ripped cigarette boxes
hoping that one remains
yellow lucky day suck deep and bathe
for the next ten minutes spent coughing
all the pleasures craved
write down all the things that
you'd like to say
write down all the things that
you'd like to change
write down all the places you'd
like to stay
write down anything that you want
is yesterday, tomorrow, today?
is nothin' gonna change the way
cracked rock top wall let the ash to fall
left alone to wait i've never looked at
things i've liked only things i hate
you're not the first today not the softest
face
was there any that you liked
was there any thay you didn't fake?
write down all the things that
you'd like to be
write down all the things that
you don't believe
write down all the places you'd
like to see
write down anything that you want
is yesterday, tomorrow, today?
is nothing gonna change the way?
because everything that's you
and the things that you like to do
and all of the things that are
come back again
Verse 1:
I remember walking around the streets at night
I remember people talking about their lives
One of us never made it home that night
Drunk and high got the better of her mind
Jenny died
Chorus:
The setting sun with music on
the restless day was gone
You can't see when there´s sun in your eyes
Your innocent
You think everything is possible
And nothings gonna get you baby
Everything is touchable
Nothings gonna beat you in this life
Its alright
Verse 2:
Holding hands Drinking cans In the orange lights
Summer breeze Feeling free Kissing the first time
One of us never made it home that night
Easy love someone said give this stuff a try
Jenny tried
Chorus:
The railway bridge the river flowed
With shallow water down below
You can't see when there´s sun in your eyes
Your innocent
You think everything is possible
And nothings gonna get you baby
Everything is touchable
Nothings gonna beat you in this life
Its alright
Chorus:
the setting sun with music on
the restless day was gone
You can't see with the sun in your eyes
Your innocent
You think everything is possible
And nothings gonna get you baby
Everything is touchable
Nothings gonna beat you in this life
everything is possible
And nothings gonna get you baby
Everything is touchable
Nothings gonna beat you in this life
Its alright
I'll drink another drink for you
One, two, three, four, five, once I drank a fish alive
I'll drop another pill for you
Six, seven, eight, nine, ten, did it before, I'll do it again
I'll tell another joke for you
Did you hear the one about the one that looks like you
I'll sleep with sleep arounds for you
Why don't you scratch my back and chew the tongue I chew
I'm alright
I'm alright
I'll tell another lie for you
Tell you what you wanna hear, but that don't make it true
I'll wear another smile for you
That way you know I'm fine, and having fun with you
I'll draw another line for you
That way you know I'm hip, that way you know I'm cool
I'll smoke another smoke for you
I'll blow back in your mouth and you can blow back too
I'm alright
I'm alright
You gotta go there to come back
I'll take another punch for you
Tie my hands behind my back, that way you cannot lose
I'll make another pound for you
So you can drive your motor car, and drive you to the moon
I'm alright
I'm alright
You. Me. Us. Free... we're alright, alright
Love. Pain. Hate. Rain... we're alright, alright
i stopped to fill my car up
the car felt good that day
i didn't know where i was going
but it felt good for a change
a five and a pocket full of silver
i paid the lady no change
and then it started to piss down
i started driving again
and then i looked up
and looked in the mirror behind me
a man round forty in the back seat
must have stepped in when i was empty
so why's he sat there just waiting
likely to smash my face in
he had a bag full of money
he said just drive me away
i didn't know where i was going
yet it felt good to be strange
and still i look up
and look in the mirror behind me
curiosity is over
he stepped down from the car
he pulled a gun from his jacket
said i was going to die
it gives me so much satisfaction
to watch you beg and cry
well i just made up this story
to get your attention makes me smile
i never looked up or looked
I feel I wanna hold you, wanna tell you that you'll be alright
Sang this song today, it's recalling your pictures all in my mind
I miss you now
I miss you now
Although we're getting old now my old friends gonna leave me and die
I'm helpless, it's gonna get us before we get this, I wanna kiss you goodbye
I miss you now
I miss you now
I miss you now
I feel I wanna hold you, wanna tell you that you'll be alright
I'm helpless, it's gonna get us before we get this, I wanna kiss you goodbye
I miss you now
I miss you now
Oocha
Click click then you hang the phone up
After talking late into the daylight
Telling stories how we'd like to do it
The mind can be a playground if you use it
She could go down on me in a theatre
I'd stroke her head, look round over my shoulder
We'd get kicked out we'd walk along the pier
I'd try to get my hand under her jumper
Yes I could lose ya
If I choose to
Why would I wanna do that?
Yes I could lose ya
If I choose to
Why would I wanna do that?
Drip drip the rain upon my window
Wanna lay down still and just be near you
Get the keys and take the Karmann Ghia
Along the coast to buy a couple of beers
She could dance and look across the water
Dream of ways to run away together
The sun sets and glows across the ocean
Shooting star reminds us that it feels good
Yes I could lose ya
If I choose to
Why would I wanna do that?
Yes I could lose ya
If I choose to
Come on get up high as the ceiling
Get up on the floor
Think I lost my mind and my feeling
Been there all before
Find my way
Free my soul
Blind and loaded
Lined and sorted
It's time......
If you think you'll make a fool out of me
I got a little something up my sleeve
I can think of better places to be
So get yourself down on the street
So come on take my hand if you need me
Just knock up on my door
You got to stop your mind from dreaming
And live your life some more
Find my way
Free my soul
Wine and water
Shine light on my time......
If you think you'll make a fool out of me
I got a little something up my sleeve
I can think of better places to be
So get yourself down on the street
Come on get up high as the ceiling
Leave me a light at home
I'm running out of time and I need it
I need a lifetime more
Find my way
Free my soul
Eyes wide open
Time is on my side......
If you think you'll make a fool out of me
I got a little something up my sleeve
I can think of better places to be
So get yourself down on the street
Come on get up high as the ceiling
Get up on the floor
Come on get up high as the ceiling
Get up on the floor
Come on get up high as the ceiling
Get up on the floor
Think I lost my mind and my feeling
Dancing
In the mirror
You could see her from a mile man
She was alright
She looked right over her shoulder
Right at me
I was falling through the floor now
She came, over me
Help me, oh help me,
She's out of her mind
Help me, oh help me
Somebody tonight
Laughing, all night
She could tell a funny story
She could stay up all night
She was someone to remember
She was black and white
We did it on a sunbed
And she did it right
Help me, oh help me,
She's out of her mind
Help me, somebody
Oh help me, tonight
Prancing, around a low lit light
Running rags over her shoulders
Red chilli lights
She drink you underneath the table
She hold you heavenly tight
Slap you right across ya white face
She make you cry like a child
Help me, oh help me,
She's out of her mind
Help me, oh help me
Somebody, tonight
Crazy, out of her mind
You wanna shoot her wanna love her
You can't make up your mind
You wanna tell her all your stories
Wanna open your mind
You wanna show her how your heart works
But she ain't got the time
You're fighting, all the time
There's nothing working, nothing gaining
Just a waste of time
You're trying hard to remember
All the beautiful times
But yer clouded by the bullshit
All of the time
Loving, on a Saturday night, making love under a blanket
With the telly on loud
You wanna show her that you love her
But there's sex on ya mind
Makin' love from watching movies
I think I'm doin' it right
Help me, oh help me
She's out of, her mind
Help me, so help me
Thinking back, thinking of you
Summertime, think it was June
Yeah, think it was June
Laying back, head on the grass
Chewing gum, having some laughs
Yeah, having some laughs
You made me feel like the one
You made me feel like the one, the one
You made me feel like the one
You made me feel like the one, the one
Drinking back, drinking for two
Drinking with you
When drinking was new
Sleeping in the back of my car
We never went far
Didn't need to go far
You made me feel like the one
You made me feel like the one, the one
You made me feel like the one
You made me feel like the one, the one
I don't know where we are going now
I don't know where we are going now
Wake up call, coffee and juice
Remembering you
What happened to you
I wonder if we'll meet again
Talking about life since then
Talk about why did it end
You made me feel like the one
You made me feel like the one, the one
You made me feel like the one
You made me feel like the one, the one
I don't know where we are going now
I don't know where we are going now
So take a look at me now
So take a look at me now
So take a look at me now
So take a look at me now
So take a look at me now
We swapped our lines late last night then
We started talking truths til noon
Yeah noon
We fantasize of kidnap tie me up and tease me in your boots
Yeah you
I like to feel the crush it makes me feel alive
To have you in my life, than not it just feels right
And when the sun goes down the moonlight paints the night
That's when the sleeping dog awakes and comes alive
I like to fight for the right to light up a cigarette for you
Boo hoo
Although the timing's not right, my head spins around and round for you
Yeah you
I like to feel the crush it makes me feel alive
To have you in my life, than not it just feels right
And when the sun goes down the moonlight paints the night
That's when the sleeping dog awakes and comes alive
Come back now
Come back now
Come back and stay
Don't ever go
Don't ever go
It's alright, it's alright it makes me feel alive
To have you in my life, than not it just feels right
It sickens me to see the photograph in front of me
Carnation couloured pink stand aside and take a drink
Night club another scene 31st its halloween
Slave to each new trend up town junkies push again
The lovers and the wannabe's they don't know how
The radio's and the tv they don't know how
The newspaper story reads they don't know how
Cheap girl magazine they don't know how
Stand aside and cry never wonder why
Ask themselves why the river has dried
Laughter after three shaped up to be free
Number one the most missed chart
Must have broke a thousand hearts
Parallel with the scene tarnished star evergreen
Lived life disguised
The lovers and the wannabe's they don't know how
The radio's and the tv they don't know how
The newspaper story reads they don't know how
Cheap girl magazine they don't know how
Stand around and cry and never wonder why
Ask themselves why the river has dried
Hoo hoo hoo hoo
Hoo hoo hoo hoo
I gotta lose weight I swallow honey is my stand up show still that funny
am I back for good I said that I said that I would be she's down waist low
trying to make me happy
because I like watching you it's time I tried tried to check
my check my eye lids

I'm not going back back to the
factory's because I like what I do it's time I tried tried to check
my check my eye lids
Change changes things
Change changes you
A change in the weather
A change for the phone
A change of direction
Could change where is home
Time changes lovers
People changing mind
Leaves changing colors
And lies changing lives
Change of a record
Sing me something blue
A change in your job
Or did your job change you?
Children change a marriage
Change is something new
Money changes everything
But it doesn't improve your view
You can change
You can change
Change changes things
Change changes you
The change in your pocket
Or pocket all your change
Change your opinion
Change for staying just the same
Change your wife
Or your wife can change you
Change your life
And your life chains who?
People change their sex
People change their hair
Change over chance
From here to over there
A change for the better
But you got too much to lose
Change your religion
Well it depends on you
You can change
You can change
You can change
Change changes things
I'm looking good Got my shoulders back
A few more drinks I'm up to dance
I get the eye as I lift my glass
The first time in six months
She looks again I start to shake
My shoulders twitching
I'm on my way
I glance behind me for safety sake
to see a clock the size of a plane
The night is young more fish in the sea
Who's to say she wasn't looking at me
I sink my head back in to my glass
Get in to shape for that first dance
I turn away I look to the south
I pull my foot from out of my mouth
To my surprise she's standing beside me
Asking if I'd like to dance
I'm standing in a hall of smoke
Her tongues in my mouth
I'd love to choke
Her knight approaches us on foot
Left his side kick at the brook
He offered me a cigarette
I said I'm far to young to smoke
So he tried to entertain me
Told me one more crappy joke
In my ear except the joke wasn't clear
Set the joking aside
Should I run should I hide
I've decided to stay rub it in his face
What I thought was the case
Was an easy mistake
I just like to try some carrot cake and wine
Can't I try taste my carrot cake and wine
Looking good not looking back
Knight of hers took her off to dance
I get the eye but not for the last time
She looks again I start to shake
My legs are twitching my eyes are fake
I glance behind me for safety's sake
To see my girlfriend's tongue in the
Face of a friend who is far from a man
Should I hide should I run
Must have see what I've done
Decided to stay liked the look on her face
What I thought was the case
Was an easy mistake
I'd just like to try some carrot cake and wine
Can't I try taste my carrot cake
Why cant I try? Why should I lie?
Taste my try some of my
Standing at the bus stop with my shopping in my hands
And I'm overhearing elder ladies
As the rumours start to fly
You can hear them in the school yard
In the scrap yard
In the chip shop
In the phone box
In the pool hall
At the shoe store
Every corner turn around
It started with a school girl
Who was running
Running home to her Mam and Dad
Told them she was playing, in the change room of the local foorball side
They said tell us again, she told them again, tell us the truth, they find it hard to believe
'Cause he taught our I was steve, he even trained me, taught our John who's a father of three
Only takes one tree, to make 1000 matches
Only takes one match, to burn A thousand trees
A thousand trees
You see it in the classroom
In the swimming pool
Where the match stick men are made
At the scout's hall
At the football
Where the wise we trust are paid
They all honour his name
He did a lot for the game
Got his name knocked up above the sports ground gates
But they're ripping them down, stamping the ground
Picture gathers dust behind the bar in the lounge
Only takes one tree, to make a thousand matches
Only takes one match, to burn a thousand trees
A thousand trees
Wake up, and smell the rain
Shake up, he's back to stay
He hasn't been on a holiday
His growing seeds don't believe
Why he's been away
From the school yard
Changing room
Playing field
Bathroom
Phone box
Office blocks
Corners turn around
They keep doubting the flame, tossing the blame
Got his name knocked up above the sports ground gates
And they're ripping them down, stamping the ground
Picture gathers dust in the bar
Only takes one tree, to make a thousand matches
Only takes one match, to burn A thousand trees
A thousand trees
A thousand trees
