Bells are chiming for victory
There's a page back in history
They came back to the world that they fought for
Didn't turn out just like they thought
[Chorus:]
Here is a song to sing to do the measuring
What did you lose?
What did you gain?
What did you win?
Nine years later a child is born
There's a record, so you put it on
Nine years more, if we're lucky now
Nine-year-old puts his money down
Every scratch, every click, every heartbeat
Every breath that I held for you
There's a stack of shellac and vinyl
Which is yours now and which is mine?
[Chorus]
Bass and treble heal every hurt
There's a rebel in a nylon shirt
But the words are a mystery, I've heard
'Til you turn it down to 33 and 1/3
'Cos it helps with the elocution
Corporations turn revolutions
So don't you weep and shed
Just change your name instead
What do you lose when it all goes to your head?
I heard something peculiar said:
"Perhaps he's got a shot and now he's dead"
Bells are chiming and tears are falling
It creeps up on you without a warning
Every scratch, every click, every heartbeat
Every breath that I bless
I'd be lost, I confess
[Approximately]

(claude s.)
I have 45 second to show you,
How your heart was torn by
Disilusions, trapped by all the whims
That you created, shaking with a
Fear...
Give way to the sun, it will remind
You there are better days,
When you'll be smiling.stop this
Apathy before it swallows us!
Am I just the same?
We need empathy
(do you believe me)
We need empathy
(time to retrieve it)
We need empathy
(I really want it)
Give me anything
However small!
Send away for a priceless gift
One not subtle, one not on the list
Send away for a perfect world
One not simply, so absurd
In these times of doing what you're told
You keep these feelings, no one knows
What ever happened to the young man's heart
Swallowed by pain, as he slowly fell apart
And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45
Swimming through the ashes of another life
No real reason to accept the way things have changed
Staring down the barrel of a 45
Send a message to the unborn child
Keep your eyes open for a while
In a box high up on the shelf
Left for you, no one else
There's a piece of a puzzle known as life
Wrapped in guilt, sealed up tight
What ever happened to the young man's heart
Swallowed by pain, as he slowly fell apart
And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45
Swimming through the ashes of another life
No real reason to accept the way things have changed
Staring down the barrel of a 45
Everyone's pointing their fingers
Always condemning me
Nobody knows what I believe
I believe
And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45
Swimming through the ashes of another life
No real reason to accept the way things have changed
Staring down the barrel of a 45
And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45
And I'm swimming through the ashes of another life
There is no real reason to accept the way things have changed
Staring down the barrel of a 45, 45
Lost in pictures Baby I'm
Lost and found
Reminiscing bout my teens
It's a postcard scene from Kona town
Sitting in my hotel room
Oooh on a cold London afternoon
My glass is red
Staring out my window
Over the streets
There's a cool breeze I freeze
Sit back in my seat
The radio is painted blue
And it's crying the bed 2 big with out you
Now that I'm done, now that
Do you remember those songs that keep us up till dawn
Slowly rocking you all the time
Baby put on your 45 and let it take over
I want to tell u real events,
I am turn like a 45, u never know.
throw away,all the thing ur got,
u can do it, to my way, once more.
someone try
and shush me but
I cry out
thought everybod seem
to think i'm "noodles".
then all my inside,
so fly to piece,
just like a electricity,
I can became air.
my watch is out of order now,
i am turn like a 45, u never know.
but would be nothing at all.
see the surprised look on face,once more.
someone try
and shush me but
I cry out
thought everybody seem
to think i'm "noodless".
then all my inside,
so fly to piece,
just like a electricity,
I can became air.
then all my inside,
so fly to piece,
just like a electricity,
I can became air.
I will penetrate
away place u go,
how does it feel to be?
You can boogie like disco love that disco sound
Turn up the volume and move it all around
But don't don't don't don't don't forget
Don't don't don't don't don't forget
The Stars on '45 keep on turning in your mind
Like "We Can Work it Out"
Remember "Twist and Shout"
You still don't "Tell Me Why" and "No Reply"
1 2 3 4...
This happened once before when I came to your door
No reply
They said it wasn't you but I saw you peep through your window
You know if you break my heart I'll go
But I'll come back again
'Cause I told you once before goodbye
But I came back again
Asked a girl what she wanted to be
And she said "Baby can't you see?"
"I wanna be famous a star on the screen."
"But you can do something in between!"
"Baby you can drive my car."
"Yes I'm gonna be a star."
"Baby you can drive my car."
"And Baby I love you!"
Listen do you want to know a secret?
Do you promise not to tell?
Oh oh-a-oh oh
Closer let me whisper in your ear
Say the words you long to hear
I'm in love with you (oh-a-ooh-ooh)
Try to see it my way
Do I have to keep on talking 'til I can't go on?
While you see it your way
Run the risk of knowing that our love may soon be gone
We can work it out
We can work it out
I should've know better with a girl like you
That I would love everything that you do
And I do hey hey hey
He's a real nowhere man sitting in his nowhere land
You're gonna lose that girl
You're gonna lose that girl
You're gonna lose that girl
I think I'm gonna be sad I think it's today yeah
The girl that's driving me mad is going away
She's got a ticket to ride she's got a ticket to ride
She's got a ticket to ride and she don't care
Say the word and you'll be free
Say the word and be like me
Say the word I'm thinking of
Have you heard the word is love?
It's so fine it's sunshine
It's the word love
Ahh look at all the lonely people
Ahh look at all the lonely people
When I'm walking beside her people tell me I'm lucky
Yes I know I'm a lucky guy
I remember the first time I was lonely without her
Can't stop thinking about her now
Every little thing she does she does for me yeah
And you know the things she does she does for me oooh
You tell me that you've got everything you want
And your bird can sing
But you don't get me you don't get me
When your prized possessions start to wear you down
Look in my direction I'll be around I'll be around
Jo jo was a man who thought he was a loner
But he knew it wouldn't last
Jo jo left his home in Tucson Arizona
For some California grass
Get back get back get back to where you once belonged
Get back get back get back to where you once belonged
Got a good reason for takin' the easy way out
Got a good reason for takin' the easy way out now
She was a day tripper one way ticket yeah
It took me so long to find out and I found out
It's been a long time
Now I'm coming back home
I've been away now
Oh how I've been alone
Wait 'til I come back to your side
We'll forget the tears we've cried
But if your heart breaks
Don't wait turn me away
And if your heart's strong
Hold on I won't delay
The Stars on '45 keep on turning in your mind
Like "We Can Work it Out"
Remember "Twist and Shout"
He wakes up in the morning and he puts on his shoes
Well, he's gonna find him another, woman to abuse.
But he don't know, about that 45
Hidden in the dresser of his Wife..that he's gonna feel..
You better watch out boy, 'cause here she comes,
but you better hide your face & you better run.
'Cause She had enough, She had enough.
It's late night, a car pulls in the drive
& She can tell he's guilty by the look in his eyes,
But she wipes a tear but he doesn't understand.
Well this is the last time he's gonna raise his hand
Well he takes a seat& asks where's my dinner,
But it's long past cold& She pulls the trigger,
She had enough, She had enough..
There's cops on the scene, there's smoke in the air
Well, there's blood on the floor, but she don't care.
Well, all of this, there's a lesson to learn
Well, don't ya piss off a southern woman 'cause you might get burned..
'Cause She had enough..She had enough..She had enough
He wakes up in the morning, and he puts on his shoes
Well, he is gonna find him another, woman to abuse
Our friend's show will begin in 45 minutes
But we are still a hundred miles away from the hall
We are at almost half way there
Driving fast to catch the first song he will sing for us tonigh
Our tires are flat
We could be running out of gas
It's getting dark now
Our headlamps are failing
Maps are too old
We don't even know where we are
But we have to go
We think we'll make it
Step on the gas
We'll be in time at least for the party after the show
Don't forget that we are here to have fun
NOt to throw blame around
We screwed up at the last corner
Then we had to make left turn to get back to the main street
We are almost there
Come on buddy
We are only 5 minutes late
You know the show could have been delayed
I will take you
I'll lead you there
I promise that I will take you
Now the tires are burning
We are at the edge of the town
It's dark now
But we see the bright lights there
We don't need these maps anymore
We are quite sure of
Where we are now
