I was always told that you had to have the balls to breakdown
Now I'm older I'm not too sure
I was once told that you had to have a high to lowdown
An expert told me back in the war
Broken hearted surgery never works
So eat your words or hide them in the dirt
Raise up the anchor baby, why do we have to get way down?
Way down
Raise up the anchor baby, why do we have to get way down?

Take my time dear,
(it's all yours)
As the Earth goes round the Sun.
Life takes some fighting,
(and it leaves scars)
And it keeps us on the run.
This is a game I'm longing to play
But I stumble at the start
If there's nothing, (tear our love apart)
If this is just a lie, (tear our love apart)
There's still nowhere I would rather be
(tear our love apart)
Now hold on tight
I'm not frightened,
And you keep me safe from harm
I'm not enlightened,
(Can't reach the stars)
But I'm closer in your arms
There is a flame that flickers and sways
But it knows why we're apart
If there's nothing, (tear our love apart)
If this is just a lie, (tear our love apart)
There's still nowhere I would rather be
(tear our love apart)
If there's nothing, (tear our love apart)
No place, no time, (tear our love apart)
There's still nowhere I would rather be
(tear our love apart)
Now hold on tight
There's nothing to blame,
To get in our way
Or tear our love apart
If we're in the same place,
It won't matter where we are
If there's nothing, (tear our love apart)
If this is just a lie, (tear our love apart)
There's still nowhere I would rather be
(tear our love apart)
If there's nothing, (tear our love apart)
If there's nothing, (tear our love apart)
If there's nothing, (tear our love apart)

Lost souls, you and I, my dear
Whiskey bottle and a .45, my dear
We're on a roll, suitcase and cellophane, my dear
Whiskey bottle and a .45 satisfies, my dear
And someone's whispering into my ear
Asking softly, "What do you fear today?"
'Cause in faithless times
I know your hate
I seen your crimes
I felt your cruelty
In the bubble gum years
In the bubble gum years
Wastin' time, lost my money
Found someone who'll call me honey
How we go was never clear
Go look for something much less sincere

Caught a flight, Full of drugs
Shoot straight at a view
Touching down just in time
Crawl straight into you
And before the fallen graces write
And he found the diamonds in disgiuse
I've been wastin' most of my time
But i carry on
Today (what is it?) can only improve with time
When your only a planet down
We'll go out again
And before the fall did nature's right
And we found there ain't no quick for flight
I've been wasting most of my time
And i can get along
Today (where is it?) can only improve with time
Hello
Come in and get yourself something to drink
And tell me something I don't know about you
I'll tell you something 'bout me
Does it feel right?
Like penetrating insight
Or blinded by the cuckoo with the hiccups
Lets drink it to the side
I think I'm coming round, I'm seeing through the smoke

Some water, some whisky, some cigarettes, some dope

Trapped in
Undergoing bodily sins
The pole cannot be driven through the kneecap
The kneecap will prevail here
So keep trying
Prevent yourself from crying
You're shaking, hyperventerlating mish mash
Made entirely outta bones
I think I'm coming round, I'm seeing through the smoke
I think I'm coming round, I feelin' signs some hope
Some water, some whisky, some cigarettes, some dope
I think I'm coming round, can you help me up to cope

Nightfall follows the day
You fight with me fill me with patience
I was so brave once you rescued me got in my way
A thousand times dumbfounded lies
In tidy lines let blood flood the town
Thoughts that dwell on how we fell
That time will tell a bedside story of
We've heard it before unsettled sleep when will it all stop?
I hear a pin drop you've answered me loud and clear
So know your fate the time and date
We escalate we fall on holy ground
Thoughts that dwell on how we fell
That time will tell a bedside story of

You recognize me get in my way, dear
The price to pay, dear you'll recognize me
I'll be laying
Where your golden light

Thoughts that dwell on how we fell
And so we ride on
The ballad of nice and easy
Young and carefree
We're coming along
The ballad of nice and easy
Young and carefree
Two of these kids grew up on the same street
And though some folks blow it, there's no smoke in their eyes
They're tying their dreams with doubled up laces
Falling, free falling, tangled up 'til they die
And so we ride on
The ballad of nice and easy
Young and carefree
We're coming along
The ballad of nice and easy
Young and carefree
'Cause everyone knows they'll get their hands dirty
Ripping at seams and smoking hot knives
But sooner or later there's an end to this candle
We'll burn it at both ends and switch on the light
So we ride on
The ballad of nice and easy
Young and carefree
We're coming along
The ballad of nice and easy
Young and carefree
And so we ride on
The ballad of nice and easy

Shooting holes in the sky once again.

The tears won't come out.
I've been shaking, shaking in my boots
Every time I hear my telephone ring
It can't possibly be you,
You never call,
Not since my little accident.
I didn't mean to cause any trouble

Yeah, I didn't mean to burst our bubble
It can only float for so long
Now I realise, I realise they were wrong,
'cos what happens in Vegas,
Don't take very long,
To travel accross continents,
And onwards overseas,
Onto our little island,
To our city, our home,

Wake up butterfly
The sun's fallen down
The clouds are rollin' over
And we still got many miles to go
From winter days come starless nights
The constellations frown
And when the Heavens start to open
Even monkeys gonna need a coat
And the masterpiece slipped through my hand
Stole a car and drove to a foreign land
The man with the camera said
He'd seen it all before, uh huh
And Opus 49's to blame
From moon illusion Buena Vista in flames
The man with the camera said
Nice try butterfly
Wake up butterfly
The sun's fallen down
The wind is blowin' backwards

The spiders circuit
Spinnin' out on the ground

Down, take it down
Take it down
There's a little bit of that in us all
Yeah, come on and bring it around
Bring me round

The masterpiece slipped through my hand
Stole a car and drove to a foreign land
The man with the camera said
He'd seen it all before, uh huh
And Opus 49's to blame
From moon illusion Buena Vista in flames

And then move on, move on
Out of school, into home, let us swallow you whole
Or just hold on, hold on

We all fall down, there's not enough hours in our day
Played a bit of football, fell in to the union, barged our way to the toilet
With the Kung Fu king, there's not enough hours in our day
I remember seeing someone dressed in a suit looking like a lunatic
And we all fall down, there's not enough hours in our trip
*Well, academy cartwheel's breakin' your hands
We got lovely posters for sale
And we all fall down, there's not enough hours in our day
We like lovin yeah, and the wine we share
We like lovin yeah, and the wine we share
Finally made our way back to the train, rolling in to Sheffield tonight
And we all fall down, there's not enough hours in our life
So try and guess my weight and wait at the station
We're whippin Picadilly tonight
And it all falls down, there not enough hours in our life
We like lovin yeah, and the wine we share
We like lovin yeah, and the wine we share
I love my life on Mars
It has a side of perfect slumber
Just like a lucky charm
Keeps the nights from mornings after
And though I find it hard
I might say with a gay abandon
Girl, we got it all
A room with a view of the rings of Saturn
Girl, we got it all
Come spend your life on Mars
If you taste it, la la la, don't waste it, la la la
If you have the thing, you've always desired
Don't break it, la la la
If you crave her, la la la, don't waster her, la la la
If you have the one, you've always desired
Don't break her, la la la
I said you waste her, you waster
My mind may go astray
But that don't mean that you should follow
This road to Mandalay
Where you might drown when the water's shallow
And though you'll find it hard
You might add with a gay abandon
Now, girl, we got it all
On Santa Monica Boulevard
Girl, we got it all
Come hang on the Boulevard
If you taste it, la la la, don't waste it, la la la
If you have the one, you've always desired
Don't break it, la la la
If you crave her, la la la, enslave her, la la la
If you have the one, you've always desired
Don't break her, la la la

Don't break it, la la la
If you crave her, la la la, enslave her, la la la
If you find the one, you've always desired

Born the second child
Of a leg, leg, legless hound

Playin' in the playground

I've been caught in a trap I set for myself
I don't want to be here when you could be somewhere else
So why'd I sit on my hands like a book on a shelf
Where nothing but dust is falling?
Everyone 'round here lives in silence
If I had something to say I'd say what I mean
How'd you lose all your words? I swear it's obscene, I curse
How'd you look at yourself as the mirror turns green?
Yeah, only the fools ignore us
Everyone 'round here lives in silence
I could wait all my life for someone to think
I can't open your eyes but I can make you blink at me
So please don't try to be nice, don't need your advice
Please leave me to die of boredom
Everyone 'round here lives in silence
Silence
(They wait for the end)
Silence
(They bow and they bend)
Silence
(Their homes they defend)
Well hey, how's tricks man
Think I seen you before
Blank blank do you
You looked a lot older
You been workin' out

Well he came back and
Came marching in
Shot, shot to the
He found a good reason
Do it for the money
What's wrong with that
Control your bad side in to peril
We come down
Hold the line
You're so fine
Dead wrong
So please stop talking
Start puckering up
My ears are blank
It's the special occasions
You do it for the money
Can't go wrong with that
Explode or capsize
Provide my poet
If you're down
Tow the line
You're so fine
Heaven knows, Lord, I've been crying
Heaven knows, Lord, I've been longing for an answer
From the day we arrive on this planet
And blinking, step into the sun
There's more to see than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done
There is far too much to take in here
More to find than can ever be found
But the sun rolling high
Through the sapphire sky
Keeps great and small on the endless round
It's the circle of life
And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the circle
The circle of life
It's the circle of life
And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the circle
Bust up
No trust
Getting along
Best get clean, get on
She's gone, I'm gone
Ruff stuff
Something's wrong
Best get clean, get on
I'm spending all her money
On the best that I can buy
So I'm locked up
Trussed up
Shackles on
Best get clean for her
Jittery soup
Stuffed turkey
Cold cop
Best get clean for her
I'm hot and feeling funny
I'm sweating to get dry
Darling
(Come back!)
I've given up fags and drugs now baby
Darling
(Come back!)
I've had enough of the ruff stuff, baby
Darling
(Come back!)
Been hangin' round in smack bogs, baby
Darling
(Come back!)
I've given up fags and drugs now baby
Leave your fever, breather
Get off
Get off
Get on
Feeling weak
Downbeat
Two weeks of two
Need help for her
I'm sick with paranoia
It's the most that I can do
Hot meal
Warm bath
On my feet
Got it beat for you
Take a look
Early nights
Good books
Cook and clean for you
So go and call your mother
'Cause she's been using too
Darling
(Come back!)
I've given up fags and drugs now baby
Darling
(Come back!)
I've had enough of the ruff stuff, baby
Darling
(Come back!)
Been hangin' round in smack bogs, baby
Darling
(Come back!)
Rosemary's the kind of girl
Don't need no reason
She's the kind
That just won't settle down
Clothes are out of season
She'll be done for treason
She'll be hanging
From a tree upside down
Fever, fever
Where you trying to run?
Fever, diva
Rosemary's not done
Well, Rosemary's the kind of girl
Tired of her beauty
She has taken
All her mirrors down
So you best believe her
The girl will give you fever
She's the kind to heat you up
And cool you down
Fever, fever
Where you trying to run?
Fever, diva
Rosemary, she's not done
intro
You can write your tunes with rhythm and blues as your alibi
You can sell your soul and lay the blame on the passers-by
You shake your body on the TV screen
It seems to me, you'd try anything twice
And swing it out and use it as your aphrodisiac
You can give it to me, to me
Plain to see that I'll give it you back
You let it flow, let it go, there's nothing to it
Anyone can try anything twice, try anything twice
Chasing after stories that have already been told
Cannot look old Son House in the eyes
I know where you carry such a fragile load
But I've got yours, and you've got mine
It's a rhythm and blues alibi
instrumental
La la la la la la la la la la laaa..
You can take a trip through your juke joint smoke-filled paradise
You can give it your all, 'cause you are walking a fine, fine line, la
You shake your booty on the TV screen
Seems to me, you'd try anything twice
You'd try anything twice
Well let me hear you now..
Chasing after stories that have already been told,
Couldn't I look old sunhouse in the eyes,
I know where you carry such a fragile load,
And I've got yours, you've got mine
It's a rhythm and blues alibi
La la la la la etc.
fade out
Gonna take that medicine, a cold, cold medicine, make me what I am
Gonna go down steady, gonna get my measure, I got credit with the medicine man
*Said I'm on fire, I'm on fire
Well, he mix the medicine and he take credit when he puts it in my hand
Gonna go down steady, gonna get my measure, I got credit with the medicine man
*Said I'm on fire, I'm on fire
Rie's car runnin' me over but I don't mind
Rie's car drivin' me homeward 'cos I don't drive
Rie's car runnin' me over, runnin' me over but I don't mind
Rie's car drivin' me homeward 'cos I don't drive
Well, I'm smokin' in bed again, I didn't get the sign that said I should be up
by ten
Gonna go down steady, gonna get my measure, I got credit with the medicine man
*Said I'm on fire, I'm on fire
*Said I'm on fire, I'm on fire
*Said I'm on fire, I'm on fire
*Said I'm on fire, I'm on fire
Rie's car runnin' me over but I don't mind
Rie's car drivin' me homeward 'cos I don't drive
Rie's car takin' me over but I don't mind
But I don't mind
But I don't mind
But I don't mind
I've been lost and now found my way
Take me down and save, show me the way
Take me places that I want to stay
Here's to today, here's to today
I've been knocked but now I'm on my feet
Call or light up whenever I get in this deep
Take me places that I know from sleep
Let me sleep, let me sleep
Head out and fade out
Keep on the light on, turn it up
Head out and fall down now
Keep the light on and turn it up
I don't, cannot live with things you say
Guys don't want you to let it go anyway
Wake me tenderly and leave me to lay
Let me sleep, let me sleep
Head out and fade out
Keep the light on, turn it up
Head out and fall down now
Keep the light on and turn it up
Here's to today
Here's to today
Here's to today
Keep on kickin' shit
Keep runnin' off the rails
Keep on pickin' the dirt
From 'neath your fingernails
'Cause I'm not worried
About your state of mind
'Cause you're not the revolutionary kind
Keep on in the jungle
With your techno-cality
Keep on lapping up
Your chemical duty-free
'Cause I'm not worried
About your state of mind
'Cause you're not the revolutionary kind
Keep on twistin', turnin'
Staring down the sun
Keep on dancin', dancin'
Dance with everyone
You're not the revolutionary kind
You're not the revolutionary kind
You're not the revolutionary kind
Well how do you do?
do you like the look of me and you together?
So take me out.

or are you made out of gold?
I'll be no clearer

Meet, meet me in the city, girl
In the city feels right, girl
We'll get drunk on a fight, girl
Please, please don't leave me right now, girl
Right now, right now, oh no, oh no, no no no
You got me baby,
You got me girl
You got me baby,
You got me girl
You got me baby,
You got me girl
Sometimes I think I went out
But then again my my mind changed
Sometimes I think I went out
But then again my my mind changed
Im still begging you babe, begging you babe (yeah)
Im still begging you babe, begging you
Please, please don't leave me right now, girl
I guess you'll find a reason to walk out on me
I guess in time we'll all return to the scene
Awake the old dog in me
Our love was blind, a love unpretentious and free
Our love was blind, but now my love's leaving me
Today or tonight you will see
I've got a hopeless memory
That you'll remember me
Do not waste your sympathy
It all runs off of me
Though the wind blows you've drawn its call from my sins
God knows rainbows but you seem only too pale
A little or nothing prevails
I've got a timeless melody
That I sing out of key
Do not waste your energy
It all runs off of
Me, and you, and everybody
Me, and you, and everybody
Me, and you, and everybody
Me, and you, and everybody
Someday you'll say, "I wish you were here in my arms"
Till then I'll pray that you'll submit to my charms
Always keep safe from harm
Always keep safe from harm
I've got a loveless melody
So please remember me
Do not waste your sympathy
It all runs off of
Me, and you, and everybody
Me, and you, and everybody
Me, and you, and everybody
Me, and you, and everybody
Me, and you, and everybody

Good bye Lauren Lee, my precious Lauren Lee has gone
Gone so far away, now won't be back today or tomorrow
Good bye Lauren Lee, my precious Lauren Lee has gone out
But is he away with the fairies, is he away with me?
Take him away, it's free, I play anywhere I choose
Did he get into the sequel, how is Leno these days?
Take it away, 'cause I don't care whether we win or lose
Yeah, whether we win or lose
All my chips are down, my precious chips are almost gone
Find a better caller, dealer man without a son
Put it all on one, I feel like number one is on now
But is he away with the fairies, is he away with me?
Take him away, it's free, I play anywhere I choose
Did he get into the sequel, how is Leno these days?
Take it away, 'cause I don't care whether we win or lose
Yeah, whether we win or lose
Good bye Lauren Lee, my precious Lauren Lee has gone out
Yeah, whether we win or lose, whether we win or lose
Yeah, whether we win or lose
Is he away with the fairies, is he away with me?
Take him away, it's free, I play anywhere I choose
Did he get into the sequel, how is Leno these days?
Take it away, 'cause I don't care whether we win or lose
*Love is better than a warm trombone, when blown, softly by a two tone, brother
*Down on luck by chance, caress her head off at the boogaloo trance
With his hands in his pocket he could not lie
With his hands in his pocket he began to cry
With his hands in his pocket he lowered his eye
*He said Miss I guess I ought to apologise, I've been fallin, I'm falling down
The river of your lovelorn souls is getting deeper than the deepest dish washing
bowl
*Now brother get the dirt off your hands, it's getting darker than a
sun-chaser's the sun tan
With his hands in his pockethe could not lie
With his hands in his pockethe began to cry
With his hands in his pockethe lowered his eyes
*He said Miss, I guess I ought to apologise, I've been fallin, I'm falling
down
With his hands in his pockethe began to cry
With his hands in his pockethe could not lie
With his hands in his pockethe lowered his eyes
*He said Miss, I guess I ought to apologise, I've been fallin, I'm falling
down
I wear the same shoes as anyone
I get the same blues as everyone
So try and call me, I'm immobile man, yes I am
Got a haircut, got a silver tooth, gonna get myself arrested
Got some friends in my BMW, tryin' to get themselves arrested
I suck the same lines as anyone
I do the same time as anyone
Don't try and call me, I'm immobile man, yes I am
Got a haircut, got a silver tooth, gonna get myself arrested
Got some friends in my BMW, tryin' to get themselves arrested
He only grows for guys he knows and me
He only grows for guys he knows and me
Well alright
Don't try and call me I'm immobile man
Don't try and call me I'm immobile man, yes I am
Got a haircut, got a silver tooth, gonna get myself arrested
Got some friends in my BMW, tryin' to get themselves arrested
Got no time for the selfish me and you's, tryin' to get myself arrested
Be the light from my window
Be the time at my table
Be my hangover girl

Be my hangover girl
Share the wine at my table
Out of my mind see me stable
Find the time in my cradle
Be my hell of a girl
See my hell of a girl

She waters down the rain when I get home
Be my hangover girl

Where the wind blows tall
'Cause Tony Franciosa
Used to date my ma
They got some money out there
They're giving it away
I'm gonna do what I want
Do what I want
And I'm gonna get paid
Little brown sausages
Lying in the sand
I ain't no extra baby
I'm a leading man
Well my parole officer
WIll be proud of me
With my Olds 88
And the devil on a leash
My Olds 88
And the devil on a leash
Well I know karate, Voodoo too
I'm gonna make myself available to you
I don't need no make up
I got real scars
I got hair on my chest
I look good without a shirt
Well I don't lose my composure
In a high speed chase
Well my friends think I'm ugly
I got a masculine face
I got some dragstrip courage
I can really drive a bed
I'm gonna change my name
To Hannibal or maybe
Just Rex
Change my name to Hannibal
Or maybe just Rex
I'm gonna drive all night
Take some speed
I'm gonna wait for the sun
To shine down on me
I cut a hole in my roof
In the shape of a heart
And I'm goin' out west
Where they'll appreciate me
Well, how do you do?
Do you like the look of me and you together?
So take me out
Spill a little drink on your lap and
She said to me so deep inside
Well, I'm thinkin' that I'm an extra special guy
Takin' it all with an extra pinch of salt
My friends seem to think that I'm the one now
You're only teasin' me now
I'm not so laid back that I wouldn't try
Well, how do you do?
Would you like me to?
I'm not suggestin'b that I want you, but

She said to me so deep inside
Well, I'm thinkin' that I'm an extra special guy
Takin' it all with an extra pinch of salt
My friends seem to think that I'm the one now

Someone call the doctor, I think I'm goin'
Someone call the doctor, I think I'm goin'
Someone call the doctor, I think I'm goin'
Someone call the doctor, I think I'm goin'
Someone call the doctor, I think I'm gonna die
My feet are getting heavy, my mind is getting wet
Someone better help me get back into the twenty-first century
I need help, I need surgery
Help, help, help, help
Someone call the doctor, I think I'm goin' blind
My old periodic gnosis is bleeding from my eyes
Someone better help me the plot is hotting up
I'm in surgery
It really hurts, it really hurts, it really hurts
It really hurts, it really hurts, it really hurts
Help, help, help, help
It really hurts, it really hurts, it really hurts
It really hurts, it really hurts, it really hurts
Day to day
Where do you want to be?
'Cos now you're trying to pick a fight
With everyone you need
You seem like a soldier
Who's lost his composure
You're wounded and playing a waiting game
In no-man's land no-one's to blame
See the world
Find an old fashioned girl
And when all's been said and done
It's the things that are given, not won
Are the things that you earned
Empty handed, surrounded by a senseless scene
With nothing of significance
Besides a shadow of a dream
You sound like an old joke
You want out, a bit broke
An' askin me time and time again
And the answer's still the same
See the world
Find an old fashioned girl
And when all's been said and done
It's the things that are given, not won
Are the things that you earned
You've got a chance to put things right
So how's it going to be?
Lay down your arms now
And put us beyond doubt
So reach out it's not too far away
Don't mess around now, don't delay
