In the summertime
when the weather is high
you can stretch right up
an' touch the sky
when the weather's fine
you got women
you got women on your mind.
Have a drink
have a drive
go out an' see what you can find.
If her daddie's rich
take her out for a meal
if her daddie's poor
just do as you feel
speed along the lane
do a ton
or a ton an'twenty five
when the sun goes down
you can make it
make it good in a lay-by.
We're not grey people
we're not dirty
we're not mean
we love everybody but we
do as we please
when the weather's fine
we go fishing
or go swimming in the sea.
we're always happy
life's for living
yeah ! That's our philosophy.
Whenthe winter's here
yeah
it's party time
bring a bottle
wear your bright clothes
it'll soon be summertime
and we'll sing again
we'll go driving
or maybe we'll settle down
if she's rich
if she's nice
bring your friends
That old dust storm killed my baby,
But he can't kill me, lord, can't kill me
That old dust storm blew my fence down,
But he can't blow me down, can't blow meThat old dust storm blew my house down,
But he can't blow me down, can't blow me down,
That old dust storm killed my baby,
Sugar in the bowl, sugar in the bowl, all dressed up saying "Bless My Soul",
Nobody knows what they like to feel old, down in the sugar in the bowl.
Sugar in the bowl is a mighty fine town, nothing goes up and the money goes round,
Nobody knows what they like to feel down, down in the sugar in the bowl,
Down in the sugar in the bowl.
There is a girl with a turned up nose, mighty fine freckles and her painted toes,
The boys all whistle wherever she goes down in the sugar in the bowl.
There is a man with a luminous tie, a big round face and a gleam in his eye,
Everybody laughs when he passes by, down in the sugar in the bowl.
There is a girl with a turned up nose, mighty fine freckles and her painted toes,
I saw a little biker girl with long, long legs,
She gave me such a shiver like wet paint setting,
I was roaring like thunder on my cool motor bike,
Ooh baby, is there something that you like?
Chorus:
This way, that a-way, any kinda other way,
You want some loving it'll do just right,
Snakebite, snakebite, any time of day or night,
Give it to me honey, give me Snakebite.
It makes you wanna holler and it makes you wanna scream,
And at night it sure can make you satisfy a girl of seventeen,
You wanna tell your woman in the middle of the night,
Give her some of that snakebite.
Repeat Chorus:
Wild girls in their teens, dirty pictures, magazines,
Eeny meenie, skinny minnie,
Flesh shows, videos, something happens down below,
Feels right, outta sight, heavy metal Sanakebite.
Repeat Chorus:
There's something thrilling all the girls, giving them a buzz,
Drive them all crazy, man, just can't get enough,
How can violent lovers satisfy their appetite,
Give them some of your snakebite.
Repeat Chorus:
Makes you wanna holler, makes you wanna scream,
(Run, run, run, run, run, run, run,
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run)
When you're looking for someone, I will come to you,
When you're needing somebody, I will run to you,
When you're needing somebody to be by your side,
When you are in trouble I will be there to dry your eyes
Chorus:
And I will come to you, I will be there,
I will run to you, I will be there,
Yes I will, yes I will, yes I will, yes I will,
I will run to you.
When you're needing somebody on the darkest night,
When you're needing somebody to make things alright,
When you feel like a stranger in a stranger's land,
When you are in danger I'll be there just to lend a hand.
Repeat Chorus:
I see a dog who could not bark, I feel a danger after dark,
And it's late in the afternoon on Heartbreak Avenue.
The sun was low, and the shadow was cold,
On the pale drawn face, that was wrinkled and old,
A newspaper coat, hanging loose 'round his throat,
And the shoes on his feet, strips of leather tied up with rope,
His uncombed hair, and eyes that would stare,
At the people passing by, who didn't know or didn't care
Chorus:
This poor old man he's all alone,
He's got no money or no home of his own,
The back street's his kitchen,
The footpath's his hall,
And the chalk on the brick work,
Are the pictures on his wall,
He lays down his head,
On the pavement that's his bed,
And when he sleeps, his dreams fade away
He walks down the street, with his hands in his coat,
Looking down at his feet, for a dog-end he could smoke,
He thinks about food, good drinking and good fun,
As he searches through the dustbins, his life almost done
I said, "Open up your ears
Open up your eyes
Open up your mind
Take your body by surprise, by surprise"
When you're feeling down
Does the rain fall
Heavy all around
Flashing through the storm?
I said, "Open up your ears
Open up your eyes
Open up your mind
Take your body by surprise, by surprise"
Put your mind at ease
Get out, get in
Yeah, it's all agreed
I said, "Open up your ears
Open up your eyes
Open up your mind
Take your body by surprise, by surprise"
Oh yeah
Think about today
Not about the past
Open up your head
Yeah, the thoughts come fast
I said, "Open up your ears
Open up your eyes
Open up your mind
Take your body by surprise, by surprise"
Oh yeah come on
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I said, "Open up your ears
Open up your eyes
Open up your mind
Take your body by surprise"
Open up your ears
Open up your eyes
Open up your mind
Take your body by surprise
Open up your ears
Open up your eyes
Open up your mind
Take your body by surprise
Open up your ears
Open up your eyes
Open up your mind
Take your body by surprise
Open up your ears
Open up your eyes
Open up your mind
Take your body by surprise
Open up your ears
Open up your eyes
Open up your mind
Take your body by surprise
Open up your ears
Open up your eyes
Open up your mind
Take your body by surprise
Open up your mind
I said I loved you many times before
Baby I'm telling you just once more
I'm crazy about you
Just can't live without you, little girl.
I'll plant my kisses on your cheek
I'm going to hug you 'til I just can't speak
I'm crazy about you
Just can't live without you, little girl.
I don't care what the people day,
I'm going to marry you one fine day
We'll be happy, wait and see
You're gonna say that you'll marry me.
You know I love you from the bottom of my heart
There's nothing ever gonna tear us apart,
I'm crazy about you
Hey Rosalyn, hey Rosalyn,
Woman with the beautiful eyes,I don't have to hear your lies,
You're going with another man, I saw you late last night,
He ain't no music man,
I can't stop crying, you've gone and left me all alone
Hey Rosalyn, hey Rosalyn,
Why did you have to go and leave the travelling show?
And go with the bearded man, whose house is full of gold,
Now I have to sing on my own,
Rosalyn I need you, I just wanted you to know
Hey Rosalyn, hey Rosalyn,
My eyes are set in deep, at night I cannot sleep,
I sit down on the rocks, you're lucky charm I keep,
Watching the sun going down,
Wishing I could hold you, run my fingers through your hair
Hey Rosalyn, hey Rosalyn,
I cry for the girl whose gone, but I must carry on
Playing in the travelling show, singing the sad sad songs,
I'm just a music man,
Chorus:
Right on, right on, right on, right on,
Right on, right on, right on,
We're gonna kill, we're gonna fight, we're gonna fight for what is right,
Fight for the rest, its dynamite, fight the fight the fight the fight,
Repeat Chorus:
We're gonna take, ain't gonna wait, make no mistake, ain't gonna break,
Ain't gonna wait, no mashed potato,
Repeat Chorus:
We're gonna love our mother, love our father, love our sister and our brother,
Love our friends and relations, we're gonna heal the punks and rock our nation,
Back in '46 the year I was born,
They learned a lot of things, it was the end of the war,
Sweets were on ration, there wasn't much fashion,
But everybody had fun, there was so much to be done,
Peace in the air, new coats on the chair,
You could turn out a light, and go out at night
The radio brought new sounds to the air,
The comics we bought, were full of good gear,
Superman, Spiderman, Marvelman, Desperate Dan,
Superboy, Wonderboy, Fab Four, Rob Roy
When I was real small, before I went to school,
We'd play on the fields, or go to the pool,
We might build a camp and hide from out dads,
Or go to the park and stay out 'till dark,
Play doctors and nurse and chase all the girls,
They'd tell their mums and we would be cursed
We'd chew lots of gum, knock doors and run,
Play do or dare, and get real scared,
The big boys would laugh they thought they were hard,
We'd kiss our first chick and show thew our stick,
Those times are gone but it's still goin' on,
I remember those days and it still turns me on
I first heard rock an' roll when I was ten,
It was Bill Haley's voice, I was layin' in bed,
Rock around the clock was a big hit,
But I didn't catch on 'till I heard Elvis sing,
Hound dog was the song and it didn't take long,
To get a guitar and start boppin' along
Well, I got up a group and wrote some tunes,
Hit the charts in early June,
Mighty man, In the summertime,
I've lived hard, I've lived fine,
Seen the world, sailed and flown,
Blowing down that old dusty road,
yes, I'm blowing down that old dusty road,
I'm blowing down that old dusty road, lord, lord,
I don't want no more misery
I'm going where the water tastes like wine,
yes, I'm going where the water tastes like wine,
going where the water tastes like wine, lord, lord,
I don't want no more misery
I'm going where the streams and rivers flow,
yes, I'm going where the streams and rivers flow,
I'm going where the streams and rivers flow, lord, lord,
I don't want no more misery
I'm blowing down that old dusty road,
I'm blowing down that old dusty road,
yes, I'm blowing down that old dusty road, lord, lord,
I don't want no more misery
I'm blowing, I'm blowing, I'm blowing,
I'm blowing, I'm blowing, I'm blowing,
I don't want no more misery
I'm going where the streams and rivers flow,
yes, I'm going where the streams and rivers flow,
I'm going where the streams and rivers flow, lord, lord,
I don't want no more misery
I'm blowing down that old dusty road,
I'm blowing down that old dusty road,
yes, I'm blowing down that old dusty road, lord, lord,
I don't want no more misery
Just got a letter from her, sat down and read it,
Just like all the others I've had before,
Brings back memories of the times we spent together,
I'll be coming back to you when the time comes.
Told me how she feels, how she feels about me,
Wants me to write and say how I feel about her,
We sure had good times in that short time,
I knew her I'll be back when the time comes.
Chorus:
It won't be long before I'm up and gone,
I'll be coming back to you with all my love,
We'll share our days, share our nights,
Share all the things we like,
When I'll be coming back to you when the time comes.
I've had other women that I spent my time with,
You've had other men, so we both know where we stand,
We had a good thing, let's keep it going,
I'll be coming back to you when the time comes.
Chorus:
It won't be long before I'm up and gone,
I'll be coming back to you with all my love,
We'll share our days, share our nights,
Share all the things we like,
Well I don't know what to do about my Mummy,
'Cos she's been on the bottle all day long,
I don't know what to do about my Mummy,
'Cos she's been on the bottle all day long,
I called the doctor 'round this morning, said I give you warning,
She'd better leave that whisky alone.
Well now Daddy went and left us last summer,
That's when Mummy took that bottle off the shelf,
I found her on the floor, crying out for more,
She don't know what to do with herself,
I called the doctor 'round this morning, said I give you warning,
She'd better leave that whisky alone.
Well now Daddy went and left us last summer,
That's when Mummy took to drinking all day long,
She started on the wheat things, and went on to the sweet things,
Now she's drinking something that's real strong,
I called the doctor 'round this morning, said I give you warning,
She'd better leave that whisky alone.
Well, you better leave that whisky alone,
Well, she'd better leave that whisky, better leave that whisky,
Better leave that whisky alone,
I called the doctor 'round this morning, said I give you warning,
Sugar Mama, look at me, won't you give your love to me,
Sugar Mama, what you've done, sugar mama, let's have fun,
You take me for a walk, just a baby I couldn't talk,
16 and you're 31, sugar mama, let's have fun
Sugar Mama, you're so fine, won't you let me taste your cherry wine,
Sugar Mama, you're so fine, won't you let me taste your cherry wine
She walks those streets at night, painted face and painted eyes,
I dreamt about you, wet my bed, sugar Mama, what you said
Sugar Mama, you're so fine, let me taste your cherry wine,
Sugar Mama, spend all night, let me taste your cherry wine,
Sugar Mama, you're so fine, won't you let me taste your cherry wine,
When your girlfriend asks you 'round to her house, and you meet her folks
And they say that your hair's too long, and you're not their kind of bloke
They grab you by the collar and they throw you through the door
You don't have to be in the army to fight in the war
Well, you're working very hard to get promotion in your job
But arrive late on morning just because you missed the bus
The foreman says "You're fired, because your punctuality's poor"
You don't have to be in the army to fight in the war
Then you go into a hotel to get put up for the night
And they say that you can't stay there, just because your shirt ain't white
You're tired and you hungry, and you cannot walk no more
You don't have to be in the army to fight in the war
Ain't no money, ain't no woman, ain't no roof above your head
So you lay down in the park, and you wish that you were dead
The fuzz says you are trespassing, and kicks you in the jaw
You don't have to be in the army to fight in the war
The fuzz says you are trespassing and kicks you in the jaw
You don't have to be in the army to fight in the war
You don't have to be in the army to fight in the war
You don't have to be in the army to fight in the war
I got the blues from my baby down by San Francisco Bay,
She took an ocean liner she's gone so far away,
Well I didn't mean to treat her so bad,
She was the best looking girl I ever had,
She said goodbye, made me cry, I'm gonna lay down and die
Well I ain't got a nickel, I ain't got a lousy dime,
If she don't come back I think I'm gonna lose my mind,
If she ever comes back to stay, there's gonna be a brand new day,
Walking with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay
I'm sitting down and looking through my back door,
Just a wondering which way to go,
Woman I'm so crazy for says she don't love me no more,
Think I'll take me a freight train because I'm feeling blue,
Ride on the track to the end of the line,
A-thinking only of you,
Well meanwhile I'm sitting in the city, just about to go insane,
The woman I'm so crazy 'bout, wondering if she call my name,
If she ever comes back to stay, there gonna be a brand new day,
There's peace in the country when the sun goes down,
The corn is getting on high,
The war is over an there's peace all around,
I'm gonna stay here 'till I die, yeah,
I'm gonna stay here 'till I die
The war was bad but it didn't last long,
Millions are dead and gone,
Nuclear warheads flying all around,
Somebody dropped the bomb, yeah,
Somebody dropped the bomb
There was blood in the mountains, blood in the sea,
Blood everywhere I trod,
Women were dying, children too,
And everybody lost, yeah, everybody lost
Now the sun's getting lower, and the shadows are cast,
I can see the corn getting high,
No fish in the ocean, no birds in the air,
Just dust 'cause someone dropped the bomb, yeah,
Dust 'cause someone dropped the bomb
Damn the politicians, dictators and all, whoever got us into this mess,
I'm the only one left with all my senses and limbs,
I've got that dustpneumony
pneumony in my lung.
I've got that dustpneumony
pneumony in my lung.
And I'm gonna sing this dustpneumonia song.
I wnet to the doctor
and the doctor said
my son.
I went to the doctor and the doctor said
my son.
You got that dustpneumony and you ain't got long
not long.
Now there ought to be some yodelling in this song.
There ought to be some yodelling in this song
but I can't yodel for the rattling in my lung.
My good girl sings the dustpneumonia blues
My good girl sings the dustpneumonia blues
She loves me 'cause she's got the dustpneumonia too.
If it wasn't for choppin' my ax would turn to rust
If it wasn#t for choppin' my ax would turn to rust
I can't find a woman in this black old texas dust.
Down in Oklahoma the wind blows mighty strong.
Down in Oklahoma the wind blows mighty strong.
If you want to get in

Down in Texas my gal fainted in the rain
Down in Texas my gal fainted in the rain

Let me tell you about a story, about a man named Joe
His family they was hungry, so he said I'm gonna go
Go up in the mountains, start looking for some gold
So he started out one morning, the wind was getting cold
The air was nearly freezing, it was ten degrees below
Chorus:
Sad eyed Joe, why did you go,
Your family's gonna miss you, they want you back at home
Think about the winter, think about the snow
Think about the things that you're gonna leave behind
When your looking for the gold dust that you're never gonna find
He wakes up every morning, after only five hours sleep
Chewing on a tasteless piece of gristly worn out meat
His coffee runout weeks ago he won't admit defeat
Panning on the water searching with his hands
Looking for the yellow dust but all he find is sand
Chorus
They searched fro him every day for one whole solid week
They found him lying frozen at the bottom of the creek
A bag of yellow gold dust between his icy feet
His collar it was turned up frozen to his jaw
Sad eyed Joe looked sadder than he ever looked before
She wears skirts that show her thighs,
O Maggie, come along and spent some time,
O Maggie, come along and spent some time, with me
I like Sue, she's alright,
I'm gonna see my Maggie tonight,
O Maggie, come along and spent some time,
O Maggie, come along and spent some time, with me
I like Sue, Rose is better,
I'm gonna write my Maggie a letter,
O Maggie, come along and spent some time,
O Maggie, come along and spent some time, with me
I like Sue, she's gone to my head,
I like Maggie 'cause she's better in bed,
O Maggie, come along and spent some time,
O Maggie, come along and spent some time, with me
Oh Maggie, come along and spent some time,
Oh Maggie, come along and spent some time,
If Simon says be glad today
I surely do what Simon say
And if youl like to see me smile
Then you're in luck cause that's my style
My pretty bird up in the tree
I hear the song you sing for me
The sky's fantastic blue or grey
And here we are alive today
Hey...
The simple things
The lovely simple things
The sunset and the dawn
The simple things
The lovely simple things
I could go on and on and on
For the simple pleasures
Are worth more than treasures
That your paper money ever bring
This song is old, this song is new
This song is me, this song is you
I like to play out in the rain
I like the sun to shine again
And again and again
Each day so many things to see
And I'm so glad I am me
And you, my friends, are pretty too
I don't want you, cook my bread,
I don't want you, make my bed,
I don't want your money too,
I just wanna make love to you.
I don't want you, be no slave,
I don't want you, work all day,
I don't want you to be sad and blue,
I just wanna make love to you.
I can tell by the way that you baby talk,
I can see by the way that you switch and walk,
I can tell by the way that you treat your man,
But I could love you baby, it's a cryin' shame.
I don't want you, wash my clothes,
I don't want you, keep a home,
I don't want you to be true,
I just wanna make love to you.
I don't want you, be no slave,
I don't want you, work all day,
I don't want you to be true,
I just wanna make love to you.
I don't want you, keep a home,
I don't want you, wash my clothes,
I don't want you to be true,

I saw that woman with the beautiful legs
I gave her the eye, yeah, here's what she said
She said: ‘My friend, everybody is my friend'
She said: ‘My friend, come and have a drink on me'.
Well, by the embankment the river was calm
The moon shone down and she held my arm
She was my friend, everybody was my friend
She said: ‘My friend, come and have a drink on me'.
I couldn't refuse her.
I saw that woman with the beautiful legs
I gave her the eye, yeah, here's what she said
She said: ‘My friend, everybody is my friend'
She said: ‘My friend, come and have a drink on me'.
I walked along with her
She was such a beauty looking woman
You know I just couldn't refuse.
..........
I took her home and she kept me warm
When I woke up all my money was gone
She was my friend, everybody was my friend
She said: ‘My friend' - but she took every penny I had.
Oh yeah, she was my friend, everybody was my friend
She said: ‘My friend' - but she took every penny I had, yes she did
She was my friend, everybody was my friend
Well she said goodbye, to her man, she missed the ship even though she ran,
And she rowed, ah didn't she row.
Yeah she had to sail, across the sea, so she booked a trip on an old ferry,
And she rowed, ah didn't she row.
Well the captain saw the girl on to the quay,
But he still sailed away,
There were no more boats for another week,
And she had no place to stay.
Yeah her man had gone, she didn't know where, so she stole a dinghy from a yacht somewhere,
And she rowed, ah didn't she row.
The sea was rough, the weather was bad,
But she kept on rowing 'till she got to France,
And she rowed, ah didn't she row.

On a Monday, on a Tuesday, on a Wednesday, on a Thursday,
Friday we just sit and dream,
on a Saturday you know, that your time is free
See a movie, see a car race, see an old friend, see a new place,
it's time to make love an' be free,
no working next day, lay in bed an' sleep
No need to worry, just have a good time,
go to a party, have plenty of wine,
a new love is there, it's got to be found,
just get it together, you know there's plenty around
On a Sunday when you wake up, read the papers, then you get up
an' go for a drink down the road
talk about things, an' ask all your friends back home
Watch football on the T.V., hear some new sounds on the settee,
an' cuddle up close to your girl,
Blowing down that old dusty road,

Well we used to go down there every Saturday night,
The kids were pretty tough and they knew how to fight,
Some were pretty young and some were pretty old,
They knew all there was to know about rock'n'roll,
They used to pop pills, drink beer, they did no harm,
The kids are alright down the Northcote Arms
Well, the fellers wore leathers and some wore drapes,
The chicks were real cool and they had what it takes,
In their tight tight sweaters and tight tight jeans,
They looked real cool and the fellas looked mean,
They used to pop pills, drink beer, they did no harm,
The kids are alright down the Northcote Arms
Every night when the air was getting hot,
They'd move so fast you otta see them rock,
They'd go outside and jump on their bikes,
Rev 'em right up and roar into the night,
They used to pop pills, drink beer, they did no harm,
The kids are alright down the Northcote Arms
If you get the chance to move down there,
Let yourself go, let down your hair,
If you wanna move to the rock'n'roll,
They'll show you how to do it, show you how it goes,
They used to pop pills, drink beer, they did no harm,
I got my sight set on you
And i'm ready to wait
I have a heart that will,
Never be tame.
I knew you were something special
When you spoke my name
Now i can't wait, to see you again
I've got a way of knowing
When something is right
I feel like i must have known you
In another life
Cuz i felt this deep conection
When you looked in my eyes
Now i can't wait, to see you again
[Chorus]
The last time i freaked out
I just kept looking down
I st-st-stuttered when
you ask me what i'm thinking about
Felt like i couldn't breathe
You asked what's wrong with me
My best friend Leslie said:
"Oh, she's just being Miley"
The next time we hang out
I will redeem myself
My heart can't rest 'til then
Whoa Whoa I, I can't wait, to see you again
I got this crazy feeling, deep inside
When you called and asked to see me
Tomorrow ni-ight
I'm not a mind reader
But i'm reading the signs
Then you can't wait, to see me again.
[Chorus]
The last time i freaked out
I just kept looking down
I st-st-stuttered when
you ask me what i'm thinking about
Felt like i couldn't breathe
You asked what's wrong with me
My best friend Leslie said:
"Oh, she's just being Miley"
The next time we hang out
I will redeem myself
My heart can't rest 'til then
Whoa Whoa I, I can't wait, to see you again
I got my sight set on you
And i'm ready to wait
[Chorus]
The last time i freaked out
I just kept looking down
I st-st-stuttered when
you ask me what i'm thinking about
Felt like i couldn't breathe
You asked what's wrong with me
My best friend Leslie said:
"Oh, she's just being Miley"
The next time we hang out
I will redeem myself
My heart can't rest 'til then
Whoa whoa I, I can't wait, to see you again
Whoa whoa I, I can't wait
I think about the people I've known, and of the places I've been,
Of all the girls I've ever loved, I still want sweet Mary Jane,
I think about the hot summer days, and of the cold mountain stream,
Of quiet meadows and green apple trees, and of my sweet Mary Jane,
Come with me we'll follow the sun, to a land 'cross the sea,
Take my hand and I'll be your friend,
Oh, come with me Mary Jane,
Take my hand and I'll be your friend,
Oh, come with me Mary Jane, ch ch ch.
Out in the streets, out in the fields, over the hills and the valleys,
Up on the mountains, up through the clouds, yeah, I'll take you where I'm going.
Far from the taste, far from the smell, far from the noise of the city,
I'll take the fast train, far from pollution, I'll take you where I'm going.
Chorus:
Follow me, follow me, follow me down,
Follow me down, follow me down, girl, follow me down.
A home we will build, up on the hill, we'll leave all the plastic and phoney,
Make love every hour, we can get high, yeah, I'll take you where I'm going.
Chorus:
Follow me, follow me, follow me down,

Come on, everybody, everyone of yer,
Wait, till the sun goes down, then we'll go walkin', down by the sea,
It's been a long time, for my girl and me
Take a trip, down by the shore, throwing stones out across the beach,
It's been a long time, for my girl and me,
Ain't no use just sittin' around at home drinking and watching t.v.,
No it ain't, oh, no, no,
Got to get out in the air, walk for a spell, hand in hand, just her and me,
Been a long time, since the party where we met, danced all night, just my girl and me,
Well, our dog's pretty small and fluffy but it sure run's fast when I throw the ball,
Up and down the beach, and my girl is laughin', hair's in her eyes,
And she blows me a kiss across the shore, mimes she loves me,
Sun's disappearing now might as well go back home, get in the car, go for a ride, yeah,
Turn the key, and the engine roars, make a signal, find a gear,
There's a highway, for my girl and me,
Through the town, where the lights are bright, to the country, out into the night,
Find a quiet spot, and we make it right,
Ah, far from the noise of the bars and the traffic we ride, that's where we go,
Ah, to look down from the hills at the sea and the valleys below,
There's boats in the harbor and people makin' their way home,
Well, we stop for a while hand in hand, as we walk from the car,
She kisses my cheek and tells me she'll always be mine, yes she will,

There's a man going 'round taking names (taking names),
There's a man going 'round taking names (taking names),
He's been taking my fathers name,
an' he left my heart in vain,
there's a man going 'round taking names
There's a man going 'round taking names (taking names),
There's a man going 'round taking names (taking names),
He's been taking my mothers name,
an' he left my heart in vain,

There's a man going 'round taking names (taking names),
There's a man going 'round taking names (taking names),
He's been taking my brothers name,
an' he left my heart in vain,
I remember when I was very young,
Had lot of toys and I had lots of fun, yes I did,
Playing mum's and dad's with the girls down the road,
I used to pull their hair and I used to pick my nose, yes I did,
"Didn't we all"
Now I'm getting pretty old, I like to think back to the past,
What about all the sweets we used to eat,
And the games we used to play in the park.
I remember when I was at school,
I didn't do my homework and I broke all the rules, yes I did,
Watching all the girls getting undressed in the gym,
Smoking in the toilets, beat up the little kids, yes I did,
"Didn't we all"
Now I'm getting pretty old, I know I could have done a lot more,
Like putting sugar in the headmaster's tank of his brand new Jaguar.
I remember when I was at work,
I had to wear a suit and a had my hair cut, yes I did,
Yes sir, no sir, three bags full,
The boss was a drag and work was a bore, yes It was,
" 'en it all' "
Now I'm getting pretty old, I like to think back to the past,
What about all the fiddles that we did and the times I got landed in the cart.
I remember my very first date,
I took her to a movie and I got her home late, yes I did,
Her father got mad so I bought him a pint,
Worst thing I ever did, now I'm lumbered for life, big mistake,
"We all make 'em "
Now I'm getting pretty old, I like to de thinks back to the past,
What about all the beer we used to drink and the chicks we used to have in the grass.
Worked very hard got promotion at work,
Got a mortgage, got a house, got a baby, got a car,
"In that order?"
"You must be joking"
Got ulcers in my stomach got false teeth and got piles,
King
Got up this morning, I got an aching head
Been sleepin' on the floor ‘cause there's people in my bed
I've been sleepin', sleepin' on the floor, it's so sad
Think I'll pack up my belongings and get myself another new pad.
The sun is getting hot, burning on my back
Wonder what I'm doing still searching for a flat
I should be swimming, swimming in the deep blue sea
Getting plenty of fresh air instead of working in a factory.
Well, I took my guitar and some bread and some clothes
And I started off down the road
I kept walking all day until the sun went down .
Went down, yeah, deep down, melting and sinking into the ground
The watery sky, the tears in its eyes as it sank through the clouds and began to die.
I got down to the coast before the morning tide
I done one hundred miles and it only took three rides
I'm so happy just a sitting here by the sea
The only thing I'm missing is some female company.
Rolling in the sand, having lots of fun
Watching all the ladies just lazing in the sun
Well, I got one and she had two good friends as well
I'm gonna buy a bottle of gin and get them as drunk as hell.
Well, sitting on the beach drinking ‘round by the fire
I played the guitar and sang a tune
Everybody's happy just a dancing around .
Dancing around, fooling around, the blood in their veins beginning to pound
Pounding away, the night into day, the morning appears warming the ground.
Well, he's sleeping on the beach and the fuzz come along
They said: ‘You move, you gotta move on'
‘You can't stay here just drinking that beer'
‘You gotta move, you gotta move on'
‘Come on everybody, stop a hanging around'
‘You gotta move, you gotta move on'
‘We'll give you ten minutes and you better be gone'
‘You gotta move, you gotta move on'
‘Come on, everybody, we'll follow the sun'
‘You gotta move, you gotta move on'
‘Dum di da .'
‘We gotta move, we gotta move on'
‘Dum di da .'
‘We gotta move, we gotta move on'
‘We gotta move, move, we gotta move on'
