Their hearts was a jeweler she polished everyday
With little acts of kindness as she went along her way
She was No picture for your wall
Some times saints don't looks like saints at all
He raised her children by him self
And they were left alone
He fed their wounded hearts with love until they had their own
He seemed so insignificant and small
Sometimes Saints don't look like saints at all
Saints aren't always blessed simply faces
Angels can be found unexpected places
They're not that hard to recognize
You can tell them by the little bits of heaven in their eyes
He drinks too much and swears more then he should some people say
But they don't count the precious hours of life he gives away
To help the weak and humble when they fall
Sometimes Saints don't look like saints at all
Saints aren't always blessed simply faces
Angels can be found unexpected places
They're not that hard to recognize
You can tell them by the little bits of heaven in their eye
Music ............
Sometimes Saints don't look like saints at all
Saints aren't always blessed simply faces
Angels can be found unexpected places
They're not that hard to recognize
You can tell them by the little bits of heaven in their eyes
She sacrificed her early life and all she might have known
To keep her Aging mother from the fear of being alone
How she sits alone herself while Shadows fall
Sometimes saints don't look like saints at all
Well I got a gal she's as cute as she can be
Well she's a distant cousin but she's ain't too distant
for me
And we kiss - all night. I squeeze - her tight
But we're kissin' cousins and that's what makes it
allright
Well I know a gal and she taught me how to live
Yeah she gives a lot and boy she's got a lot to give
And we kiss - all night. I squeeze - her tight
But we're kissin' cousins and that's what makes it
allright
We're all cousins that I truly believe
Just little lost children of Adam and Eve
Well I got a dame and she want a lot of love
Yeah and that's the kind of trouble I want me plenty of
And we kiss - all night. I squeeze - her tight
But we're kissin' cousins and that's what makes it
alright
I said we're kissin' cousins an' that's what makes it
alright
We're all cousins, now that I truly believe
Just little lost children of Adam and Eve
Well I know a gal and she taught me how to live
Yeah she gives a lot and boy she's got a lot to give
And we kiss - all night. I squeeze - her tight
But we're kissin' cousins and that's what makes it
allright
I said we're kissin' cousins an' that's what makes it
Well I woke up this mornin' with the blues
My baby she left a note she said we're through
She said quit your drinkin' boy or else I'm gone
And now all day long I hang my head and moan
Yeah my baby left me I hang my head and moan
Please forgive me baby, come back home
She left me 'cause I didn't treat her right
I get drunk in the morning 'n' stay out all the night
I try to call her on the phone, tell her that I'm all
alone
Now my baby's gone I been sleepin' with my dog
Yeah my baby left me I hang my head and moan
Please forgive me baby, come back home
Well I woke up this mornin' with the blues
My baby she left a note she said we're through
She said quit your drinkin' boy or else I'm gone
And now all day long I hang my head and moan
Yeah my baby left me I hang my head and moan
I look at the world from my window
There's nothing I'd rather see
Millions of people walk by me
Not just the ones I've ignored
Put my hands on my knees
Say goodbye to old friends I don't need
The sheep look out to the sea
My search for life lost it's attraction
There's nothing left to explore
Only time could give an answer
But the clock it won't say a word
You don't need me
But you want my flesh
Since you tasted blood
I don't do no wrong and I can't tell right
But now I'm so sick of this success
And God looking down on me
And everything looks oh so pretty
As long as it's not too free
You can do what you want
Hope it don't offend me if you care
So press a young and then a smile supress it all
Take a square if it's there
Walk around the world
You could join
The church of indifference
It don't give no love
The church of indifference
Like the good god above
The man who has everything might say
That something's a terrible fate
Religion and other dependance
We can't afford them if they
Maybe one day things will change for better or for
worse
So don't you give thanks for a speech
Take a square if it's there
Walk around the world
You could join the church of indifference, baby
The church of indifference, baby
The church of indifference, baby
The church of indifference, baby
The church of indifference, baby
The church of indifference
It don't give no love
The church of indifference
Is like the good god above
Outside a phonebooth you tell me
That everything's much too late
But did you believe when I told you
I'd settle for second rate?
The time has come to give up my hopes and foolish pride
'Cause we've all been taken for a ride.
Take a square if it's there
Walk around the world
You could join
You could join the church of indifference, baby
The church of indifference, baby
The church of indifference, baby
The church of indifference, baby
The church of indifference, baby
The church of indifference, baby
Every day I am going somewhere
asking someone to show me the way
everywhere I look I see people
empty vessels that have lost their way
Crowded streets with a reek of madness
grey coloured sadness rain don't wash away
drunken memories lie in the gutter
with brown paper bags & the junk from the night
Faded dreams dressed in frocks of velvet
with painted faces in short decay
leather mothers of future children
are beaten senseless by the light of day
Why... why does there have to be all this insanity
& why do I feel that it is following me?
Some will die in the breath of me singing
some will kill on their way to the top
I know that there is justice somewhere
& it asks someone to show it the way...
Why... why does there have to be all this insanity
& why do I feel that it is following me?...
Every day I am going somewhere
asking someone to show me the way
everywhere I look I see people
Well I had an opinion
which I lost along the way
with a little too much slapstick
& too much comedy
I could have been a stand up in the theatre
or a carnival act
I've done my bit for vaudeville
& now there's no looking back
through this cartoon life....
Well I'm not the only one
I'm reassured by the fact
it's lonely in the funny papers
with a knife stuck in your back
a cardboard cutout for a companion
in a watercolour life
what is real & what is not
doesen't matter in a cartoon life
this cartoon life....
I don't feel like complaining
I wouldn't trade the life I've had
& I sing no regrets for any that I have
I won't change a thing
because now I understand
Thirteen hot nights in a row
The cops drive past and they move slow
A million people staying low
With mangoes ripe, who needs to grow?
I don't want it let down
My own hopes for this town
It's so hard to get around
Lots of cars but not much sound
In town
Lot's of junk on the radio
Just take a look and you will know
I start to feel I'm being used
In a scheme that's been hidden from public view
I don't want it let down
My own hopes for this town
It's so hard to get around
Lots of cars but not much sound
In town
It's always guarded by the sea
Our prison island is not free
Our hope goes but is still there
It doesn't alter if you stare
Living room isolation
Extraordinary situation
I see police but where's the crime?
We're just like convicts doing time
Thirteen hot nights in a row
The cops drive past and they move slow
I start to feel I'm being used
In some scheme that's been hidden from public view
I don't want it let down my own hopes for this town
It's so hard to get around
Lots of cars but not much sound
Red light is on all the good is gone
I'm in a home, I'm all alone
All to myself I say we gotta get off this shelf and
The moon it don't shine and the sun it don't call
So we gotta walk down to the city park
To where everybody's calling out for someone
Who might save their little life because
The moon it don't shine and the sun don't call on the
phone
And all the lost children now they think that they are
the ones who'll come walkin' on home
You read a book, saw how it looked
Everybody took a little chance
Down to the mainstreet where we traded in for cheap
romance
And the moon it don't shine and the sun don't call on
the phone
And all them lost children now think that they are the
ones who'll come walkin' on home
But they're gone
The moon it don't shine and the sun don't call on the
phone
And all them lost children now they think that they are
the ones who'll come walkin' on home
But they're gone
Yes they are gone
Everybody's gone
Yeah, all gone
You were the one who thought life was someone damn had
no life
All times through paradise you thought it'd be quite so
nice but
The moon it don't shine and the sun don't call on the
phone
An all them lost children now they think that they are
the ones who'll come walkin' on home
but they crawl to the moon and the sun, he won't crawl
to anyone
And the night is a dark sign it takes the light from
the day
And my eyes they don't see what the world was for me to
And we're walking home
I said we're walking home
I said we're walking home
Just give me one last kiss
this jewel is a roughened friend of mine
I suppose we all have to go sometime
Christ abandoned in the wilderness
could have blessed himself
& been done with it
not you or me
we're stuck here in this mindless eternity
On all fools day
we can all join together
On all fools day
we can join the celebration
On all fools day
So when the day comes
when there is no tomorrow
crashing dreams like sleep
you can't rise from your pillow
& the blinding light
might destroy your sorrow
empires falling down
like a rain from heaven
So on this lazy afternoon
while the sun is still shining
raise a glass of wine
& let others decide
On all fools day
we can all join together
On all fools day
we can join the celebration
I've taken all I can
I'm not going to stand here
& be walked on anymore
'cause I don't need you
these days your facts
they don't mean a thing
You think I am going to walk the line
believe your lies all the time
you don't make me your fool anymore
I've waited so long
you kept me here
with all the lies you told
You think that I will stay the same
you think you got me
Don't you know this thing can't last
Don't you know that time will pass
your dreams are not your own anymore
I've waiting for too long
I've been watching & I'm not wrong
Like a snake calling on the phone
I've got no time to be alone
there is some one coming at me all the time
babe I think I'll lose my mind
'Cause I'm stranded on my own
stranded far from home
Alright
I'm riding on a midnight train
everybody looks just the same
a subway light it's dirty reflection
I'm lost I don't have a direction
I'm stranded on my own
stranded far from home
Alright
Stranded I'm so far from home
Stranded yeah I am on my own
Stranded why don't you leave me alone
'Cause stranded on my own
Stranded I'm so far from home
C'mon
Look at me looking at you
there ain't a thing that I can do
you are lost your mind is a whirl
baby such a stupid girl
'Cause stranded on my own
Stranded I'm so far from home
Oh C'mon
Stranded I'm so far from home
Stranded yeah I am on my own
Stranded why don't you leave me alone
Livin' in a world insane
they cut out some heart some brain
'been filling it up with dirt
do you know how much it hurts...
to be...stranded on your own
Stranded far from home
Stranded I'm so far from home
Stranded yeah I am on my own
Stranded why don't you leave me alone
I stand alone now I don't run
I don't care nothing for your seventh son
I've been missunderstood for too long
Been screaming loud but I ain't been heard
sometimes I wonder if it's worth the words
I've been missunderstood for too long
You're all talking about better days
if I got one I think I'd go insane
I've been missunderstood for too long
Been screaming loud but I ain't been heard
I've been missunderstood for too long
I tell you babe it just ain't right
I sit & dream about you every night
You're a man in a cage
I see you everyday
You're the one who has everything
But your thoughts are disturbed
You don't like what you've heard
You condemn what you don't understand
And you think you're happy, better than the rest
But you're a prisoner like everybody else
Watch the light as it moves
Feel the eyes in your room
You are free you can do anything
And you think you're happy, better than the rest
Still you're a prisoner just like everybody else
(whistling)
Lock your heroes away
Put your mind out to play
Take a walk to the edge of town
As you're dragged to the ground
Close your ear to the sound
But you're safe 'cause it can't happen here
And you think you're happy, better than the rest
But you're a prisoner like everybody else
And you think you're happy, better than the rest
But you're a prisoner just like everybody else
And you think you're happy, better than the rest
But you're a prisoner like everybody else
Yeah and you think you're happy, so better than the
rest
But you're a prisoner just like everybody else
Aren't you a mess
you shouldn't act like this
you stand right there
& laugh in my face
you ask me why I haven't left
Are you feeling fine
have you really got the time
to bother to write one line
don't lay you on the line
it's easy to be the missing link
You're living your life in a chain gang
you're so well guarded
You're living your life in a chain gang
you're so retarded
Are you feeling fine
have you really got the time
to bother to write one line
don't lay you on the line
it's easy when you're the missing link
Are you feeling brave
you might dig your own grave
use the money that you save
lose the money that you save
You shout out
they're all the wrong answers
You're waiting for someone who will never come
You're waiting to hear someone who won't even call
Sometimes I get frightened
I go out of my head
no one comes to my mountain
& no one hears a word that's said
Sometimes I look for a reason
& sometimes I fail
then again just like the seasons
I come around again
So please forgive this fascination
but is this love or imagination?
Sometimes I worry about the things that are near to me
about the things that I hold close
sometimes I worry about the 3rd world
& I ain't even seen the first
So please forgive this fascination
but is this love or imagination?
Now they got TV out in the jungle
& everybody is going up to outer space
why don't you come & visit in my tenement
before they blow us all off this place
Ain't nobody tells me what to do now
I've heard all the lies & been promised the world
no business man is going to use or confuse me
'cause I ain't no puppet for his capital gain
What do get but exploitation
from creeps who are going to ignore your situation
Too many people getting pushed around
going to end up in the lost & found
They say I got to respect the system
but there ain't no respect in that system for me
you got to be satisfied & show no resistance
if you want to get to the top of that tree
What do you get etc etc...
They give you media minds to keep you satisfied
Me I'm not waiting for the next world
Don't want an answer now I can bide my time
I'm not in line for divine consent
No chorus of angels is going to pay my rent
Don't want to shave my head or bang a drum
I'm sitting by the river I can see it run
I'm at one with my predicament
Don't need a guru to say which way is best
Chorus
No fire and brimstone is going to turn me
I don't want to live with guilt
No simple solution can satisfy me
I can't waste my time
I've seen the forest now I want to see the trees
I've existentialized till the death of me
How I resolve this will pass the time
Until I meet my maker at the end of time
REPEAT CHORUS
This world is bent I know it's true
Sometimes it's hard to know what to do
You can feel like a disposable part
You can even get a second hand heart
Me I'm not waiting for the next world
Doff t want an answer now I can bide my time
I'm not in line for divine consent
With a bit of luck everything's falling in place
The maybe things will feel it's been such a race
Now everything's fine, carry on
If times are hard it's just too bad, just go on your way
Some people will do anything, well that's what they say
But everything's fine, carry on
When you look at life all you see is a dull reality
Wait until some clown on stage explains to you life's
mysteries
If somebody tells you put your hands on your head
Think you look just like a snake when you crawl like a
worm
But everything's fine, carry on
When you look at life all you see is a dull reality
Wait until some clown on stage explains to you life's
mysteries
Ah bop bop bop bop bop Everything's fine, carry on
Everything's fine, carry on
Yeah, everything's fine, carry on
Night time, neon sign, synthetic grin
Fast cars, drag bars, ice in my gin
Discotheques were all the rage, dancing til two
Champagne and misery where are you?
Let's have another drink
Let's have another drink
Loud music, crowds grooving, drunk at the door
Life in the mirror cracked, sick on the floor
Coffee addict, automatic pistols were drawn
Be my suicidal heart-throb cest de l'amour
Let's have another drink
Let's have another drink
Everyday is a holiday and everynight it's party time
'Cause all the world is mine, all the world is mine
Night time, neon sign, synthetic grin
Fast cars, drag bars, ice in my gin
Discotheques were all the rage, dancing til two
Champagne and misery where are you?
Let's have another drink
Let's have another drink
Yeah yeah
Uh huh....
Well it's one more sink or swim
another night & day
one more empty page
with a million words
& nothing to say
so I sit surrounded by the gloom
a room of empty faces
& a melodramatic tune
I wonder just how long can this go on
& I hope you come & see me before I go...
On the corner
I was looking for the sun
I don't know what I call this
but I sure don't call it fun...
I wonder just how long can this go on
& I hope you come & see me before I'm gone...
Standing by the water
threatening to jump in
there was only one thing stopped me
the fact is I can swim...
I wonder just how long can this go on
Well I might as well be certified crazy
the way I'm going I might as well be insane
One day down & the next I am floating
high as a kite
my feet don't touch the ground
From a penthouse apartment
to the depths of the ocean
In a greasy mood I go out on the town
seems like I could be forgiven for thinking
that my time has come
lord I am ready to drown
Still I trhink it's better
to stand out in the rain
than go slipping on down the drain
Well if you see me around
when your world is crumbling
give me a call & I'll be along
I know that we are all islands
but I'll swim across
& we can talk about it all
Still I trhink it's better
to stand out in the rain
I used to send you postcards from the subway after hours
I quit my job there now I play for flowers
I've grown right out of that
& now there is no turning back
I sold myself to a gentleman of letters
he let's me out once a month to say my prayers
I file my teeth for flash
& sell myself for cash
I want the big hits on the underground
I want to shake to the psycho sound
of big hits on the underground
everybody needs them?
My mind is clean
but my outlook is dirty
I tell myself I only do it because I'm pretty
I'm talking about making the grade
now my soul is saved...
I want the big hits on the underground
I want to shake to the psycho sound
of big hits on the underground
Before Hollywood before Babylon and Babel
On a desert isle I was sitting at a table
Reading into the absurd
some of us never learn
In the struggle to survive
Something must Die...
On a foreign shore
In the shadow of a cathedral
With a cripple's eye
I stole manna from the temple
In a cinematic dream
somebody lent to me
I began to realise
Something must die
So who am I and do I make a difference
Does life go on and on and is there any answer
In a tenement electric luxuries of silence
Of the human mind and all it's evolution
Is this perverse
And does it really hurt
In the struggle to survive
Something must die......
So who am I and do I make a difference
Don't send me roses send me fire
fill me up I'm falling more than I fell before
Save your scars don't leave them burning
take your time don't wait for the rest to come
& come on love we can face another day
I can hear the angels coming to chase the night away...
Easy now & watch for warning
close your eyes & wait for the light to shine
we can take it all together
take my head & give it to a stranger
So come on love we can face another day
I wish that today could last forever
I'm standing at the edge of a lonely sea
here comes tonight & it brings it's sorrow
I will stand waiting for tomorrow
Always Always
I look through the mists & I see you walking
I remember last night when we were talking
yesterday's gone there is no repeating
tomorrow don't come there is only waiting
I don't live this life for me
in orstralia land so free
everyone lazing in the sun
nobody cares so let's have fun
We got no problems got no war
& you don't need your brain no more
No sir
Orstralia goes in once again
we must remeber all our friends
& to make sure always
that we support the CIA
We got no problems got no war
& you don't need your brain no more
No sir
Hang your washing on the line
it's Ok the weather's fine
your hubby goes out commits no crime
I know a place where we can go
& I can take you there if you try
imagination
I know where we all belong
& we can get back there if we try
imagination
you know what I mean
come on let's dance
I want to sing
I want to set my soul on fire
I can prove it
going grooving
just give me the madness & I'll be free....
I know the sunny days are gone
but we can get them back if you try
imagination
Not everybody like to sing
but we can change their minds
if you got
imagination
you know what I mean
come on let's dance
I want to sing
I want to set my soul on fire
I can prove it
going grooving
I was talking to a friend of the people
Was kissing babies like a diplomat
was on remand & on my best behaviour
shaking hands & getting in on the act....
The business people were getting drunker than usual
The conversation slipped below the skull
Exchanging glances with a reporter from Teen Hits
I'm an apprentice whore on my way to Babylon
I was a bit like you
You showed me what to do
I was introduced to the sound of confusion
Got propositioned by a passing nun
I was indisposed & unavailable for comment
I'm on the borderline
with nowhere to go
I was a bit like you
She says I don't wanna talk about it
I say I can't speak no more
what chance this weather
to ever understand it
I got the voodoo
I got the shadow at the back door
& when your creatures come to defend you
it could be friday 13
could be the end of the world....
I say I see no way around it
She say I can't get past that door
I see no reason to indulge in this madness
like a volcano it's time to explode
& when your creatures come to defend you
it could be friday 13
I know someone who can sell you a breakdown
he's a sure & a certain man
& all his time is spent inside of
a laboratory looking out
& if dreams were made to crash on seashores
he's a rock you can be sure
if it's to dust that you are returning
the door is open you can step inside
if you only want to try
there is no obligation to buy
the first time....
Picture yourself in the garden of eden
then take a walk to the other side
if it's to dust that you are returning
the door is open you can step inside
if you only want to try
there is no obligation to buy
I got success on my mind
she's a pretty nice girl
she is not being unkind
Got me a brand new pair of walking shoes
I'm all slicked back
& got nothin' to lose
I got friends who live in the jungle
lost themselves in the worthless tangle
each of them is a rolling stone
& all of them own their own homes
now some roll left & some roll right
& some of them can't sleep at night
uh huh.... they got the idiot blues....
Me I'm gonna rattle my own pots & pans
& take me off to the distant land
I hope this land don't go up in smoke
& if I go that I don't go broke
there is some time left to contemplate
so I'll put my meat right on the plate
I'll put that plate right on the train
that can carry me back to the promised land
singing....
I'm flying higher you can't see me
I'm getting ready for the parade
I've sold my shares in heaven
& I'm not going to be the same again
you can confuse abuse & lose me
lord I am ready for that trail
I am ready to cross that ocean
I'm not coming back again
so, All the saints can come & find me
I got friends up there I can tell.....
I've done enough research into the madness
of sitting on the shelf
I am champagne flying blindly
into someone who is myself
you can take your glue like madness
& give it to someone else
I have done my time on the island
now it's time for something else
so, All the saints can come & find me
I got friends up there I can tell.....
Here I am in a pyscopathic world
trying to avoid disaster
& cutting up tomorrow's papers
Talking about all the change that's going to come
& how to avoid disaster
if it was easy you could ask me
if it were mine I'd try.....
Falling out the window full of drink in my head
like a Jamaican festival
baby thinks that I'm an animal
Spend my time trying hard not to think
no panic about the inevitable
& if it was easy you could ask me
if it were mine to decide
I'd rather not be crucified.....
Here I am in a pyscopathic world
trying to avoid disaster
I got the blues on my mind
they are stuck there this time
frozen & ugly like glue
I've been bettered at the crime
it's shaken me this time
frozen like eyes in the zoo
& sadly this message is true
Now you & your kind
so right all the time
blinded by fear & regret
Now nothing is so right
that makes you so wise
to believe that you could know it all
I got the blues on my mind
they are stuck there this time
I found out I was in another town
didn't know they had to send out
I was waiting by the telephone
looking out from the top floor
Now this rain is not something I adore
but I was standing there hoping to open up the door
I looked around
put a hand into my pocket
& found a book that I had lost
I was dressed in black
feeling out of time
just waiting for that shiny caddillac
baby send one out to bring me back
There was no one there to tell me
& I myself I couldn't see
that the hour hadn't come
So it's left with only roses
& an uphill climb in sight
no more dancing in the wasteland
I was too wasted anyhow
I placed one hand on my forehead
I shook the other one and sighed
in the now dead room
& the only child
listen....
No one was there to tell me
& I myself I could not see
I could fill a room with empty pockets
I could build a palace from lost ideals
Forgotten to say what it is that I wanted
Now I go to sleep and dream of nothing
So the weatherman says there'll be a change in the
weather
& this is fine in my time of life
If someone could tell me something l hadn't heard before
I wouldn't be knocking at your door.
Like a grain of sand that's how I feel tonight
In a foreign land
washed up and out of sight..........
I woke up this morning and felt like a zombie
Couldn't find the shoes underneath my bed
My tongue was covered in fur
So I shoved it in my pocket
At least I'm alive I think I'll survive
Like a grain of sand
that's how I feel tonight
In a foreign land
Don't talk to me about what you done
Ain't nothing has changed it all goes on
And they'll keep laughing till the end
I've seen them drive around in cars
All look the same get drunk in bars
And don't talk back we got no social rights
Oh perfect day
What more to say?
Don't need no one to tell me what I don't already know
We got no high times always flat
If you go out you don't come back
It's all so funny I can't laugh
Oh perfect day
What more to say?
Don't need no one to tell me what I don't already know
Don't talk to me about what's you done
Ain't nothing has changed it all goes on
And they'll keep laughing till the end
Oh perfect day
What more to say?
I don't need no one to tell me what I don't already
know
Don't need nothin'
Don't need no one
Ghost ships are sailing on empty seas
the light that was in the darkness
it does not shine on me.
Like an old man I run to find the shore
& the light that was in your eyes
doesn't shine there anymore
So wait until tomorrow and then we'll see
I don't know about tomorrow..........
Cold is the wind that blows in my mind
Crazy in this mood that has to be mine
I would run but I am tired
& I feel that I must be hypnotised
So wait until tomorrow and then we'll see
I don't know about tomorrow..........
Ghost ships are sailing on empty seas
the light that was in the darkness
it does not shine on me.
Like an old man I run to find the shore
& the light that was in your eyes
doesn't shine there anymore
So wait until tomorrow and then we'll see
You make me feel just like a savage
Honey, running through the jungle after you
I'm like a wild man on a rampage
Yeah, I found the safari, babe, but where are you?
I feel like a horrible creature
But honey, I don't want to scare you
Yeah, you look so good that I could eat you
But I won't kiss a steak so I won't eat you
I'm wild about the way out clothes you wear
Your pretty dresses your teased up hair
You laugh at me since I'm staring at you
Honey, you laugh at me but you're lovin' it too!
'Cause you're wild and I'm wild about you
You're wild and I'm wild about you
Come on!
Oh baby, you're so wild
I'm gonna make you mine
I'm comin' to getcha
Right now
Yeah, you make me feel just like a savage
Honey, running through the jungle after you
I'm like a wild man on a rampage
Yeah, I found the safari, babe, but where are you?
I feel like a horrible creature
But honey, I don't want to scare you
Yeah, you look so good that I could eat you
But I won't kiss a steak so I won't eat you
I'm wild about the way out clothes you wear
Your pretty dresses your teased up hair
You laugh at me 'cause I'm staring at you
Honey, you laugh at me but you're lovin' it too!
'Cause you're wild and I'm wild about you
You're wild and I'm wild about you
Come on!
Yes you're wild - but what can I do?
Yes you're wild - I can't stand it!
Yes you're wild - I'm goin' insane!
You know that I get weary & I can't go on
sometimes it seems like I might be the only one
& you know when it feels like that
I just want to run
So if you say let's run
I think I better run
But when you say let's stay
I don't think I could even walk away
Many times I get confused
I can't find an open door
everywhere I look all I see just drags me to trhe floor
So if you say let's run
I think I better run
But when you say let's stay
I don't think I could even walk away
How can I pretend I know better
how can I be sure
because people are just like glass they shatter
maybe one day we all get a step closer too.....
I've taken a chance
it's more than I have before
when I look at you girl I don't need no more
I can't understand these feelings of mine
because of you it's going to be allright
You know that chance girl it don't often come
this world it gets you & keeps you on the run
I've messed around & wasted my time
but someone like you is so hard to find
These days will soon be passed
but memories I know will last
of the times I spent with you
Babe I know what I've been told
but there is something here that I can hold
They say it's a long time until tomorrow
When your shining light has blown a fuse
Now I can't wait to leave the ashes
That have ruined me and everything
And weren't you always going to be by my side
And wasn't the sun always going to shine
I'll throw your letters into the fire
I'll put the ghost out in the hall
Whatever you wanted I'd forgotten in the madness
But maybe I'll remember before too long
And weren't you always going to be by my side
And wasn't the sun always going to shine
You can forget about the rent you can steal what you want
I'm talking to you but you're in a trance
You're Talking to me but I ain't got a chance
'Cause you'd rather sit with your radio
You lie in the sun and you read magazines
You think that you know everything on the scene
But you're hagning 'round only fooling yourself
This time I let you go
Next time I let you know
It's high time that I told you so, this time
So we sit around and I stare at the wall
And you don't care if I go on and on
As long as I say what you want to hear, girl
So you read your books and I crawl 'round the floor
The radio's on but you want more
So we take a walk through/to the discoteque
This time I let you go
Next time I let you know
It's high time that I told you so
This time, this time
This time I let you go
Next time I let you know
It's high time that I told you so
This time, this time
And so you think you got nothing to do
You turn out the lights now you want something new
So you like wait with the radio
I'm talking to you but you're in a trance
You're Talking to me but I ain't got a chance
'Cause you'd rather sit with your radio
This time I let you go
Next time I let you know
It's high time that I told you so
This time, this time
This time I let you go
Next time I let you know
It's high time that I told you so
This time, this time
This time I let you go
Next time I let you know
It's high time that I told you so
Like stars up in a darkened sky
I stand obscured from view
With shining eyes that did not lie
I turn the page for you
The silent shadow in the night
I smile before I steal
Behind locked doors in emptiness
I am the things you do
Now I am your only friend
You must love the chameleon
Now child my man why not live and think
You have no time for rest
No thoughts, no words to comfort you
No smile or soft caress
I am the ride, the wishing well
The secrets to your fear
I light the candle burning bright
The call from distant years
Now I am your only friend
You must love the chameleon
Now I am your only friend
You must love the chameleon
I said now I am your only friend
Yeah, you must love the chameleon
Groovy little people that come around
Everybody look to the brand new sound
We gotta get down
I got a new trick, better than the old trick
Baby come with me we'll find a new kick, now
Cause I've seen the joke and it ain't funny
I think I might trade it in for some money
Tried so hard all these years
Tried so hard to live with my fears
I've just got to get out
I will do the John Travolta
I feel revolted
I will dance with anyone
I will get mine
Because I'm a chameleon I do what I can
I think that is nice, if I earnt some money
Being funny for a record company
They get me lots of wonderful things
They give me a house, a car, a nice place to entertain
my friends
And I've got lots of friends who come around
Because I am a chameleon
They tell me that they love me true
Send someone out to get me in
I think it's starting to rain
Don't be rough
don't ask too many questions of me
I don't think I can stand
It's very late in the evening
& I see the sun it refuses to shine
if you believed everything you have said to me
why don't you understand
& I say to myself
this world ain't doing me too much good
I've lost my reasons
I stand out in the falling rain
I've been ten days in overdrive
I crawl the nearest wall
I don't know where it is I am going to
or where I've just come from
one more drink
might make me feel better
it is a friend when you are down
but one more drink will only bring me closer to
Let's get disguised
let's all hide our eyes
let's fantasise that we are moving
drag out your chains
let's all be citizen Kane's
& go dance on the edge of disaster
your saviour is sent
& the price of cement
will keep you out of disco's in china
because,you can't tamper with the temple of the lord uh
huh...
Your animal eyes will help you survive
you've a talent for inventing disaster
So drag out your bombs
& we'll sing the swan song
& dance from here to the ever after.....
because,you can't tamper with the temple of the lord uh
huh...
Let's get disguised
& all hide our eyes
let's fantasise that we are moving
With the left going left
& the right going right
I'm aiming this right at your heart
because,you can't tamper with the temple of the lord uh
You are so sublime
Just take one look at your face now
You didn't have an alibi
You heard it all and it's all lies
And you know that theres nothing I can do
You can do what you wanted to
You can try to be somebody else now
If you don't like what you see
Trade it in and leave it all for me
Take a chance now, you ain't got nothing to lose
So take this heart of mine
Be so kind
So take this heart of mine
Some time
All you needed was an alibi
An excuse to be the lonesome stranger
You're good and you learnt your lines
All you need now is someone in danger
Take a chance now, you ain't got nothing to lose
So take this heart of mine
Be so kind
Take this heart of mine
Some time
So take this heart of mine
Be so kind
Take this heart of mine
Some time
So take this heart of mine
Be so kind
Take this heart of mine
Locked in a room full of words
I know one I'd mentioned with the curs*
The simpleton who sweetly smiles at his young lover now
beguiled
The sycophantic morons lie at Romeo who is the bride,
let's ride
Stoned as I walk down the hall
The adman waits to hear the curse and call*
The angels scream in discontent as to the river they
are lent*
The actors bow and pay the rent, the government may
close them in*
Let's swing for the crime everyone in double time
And we hope that you had a good time
Yeah you can smile as you sign on the line
Because life on your knees can be fun
Surprised now you're not the only one
Led like a lamb into this gloom
Yeah Freud is in the back room with his goons
Now they've got new experiments, the metal groans the
lens are rent*
The anti-hero's mock dissent, we mark it now by mass
content
We swing for the crime everyone in double time
Scream like you're birthday to cry*
Is changed by the words that you learned
But Jack the ripper is inside
And Moriarty has imbibed
They leave the marry all the while*
Laugh at how they're circumcised*
They swing for the crime everyone in double time
And we hope that you had a good time
Yeah smile as you sign on the line
Because life on your knees can be fun
I'm pawning my blues
I've got my walking shoes
no looking over my shoulder
I'm heading off in a motor
I'm dammed if I do
& I'm dammed if I don't
I'll get my head out of moth balls
I'll clean out the closet
I've been looking for a clue
now I know what to do
I've been waiting for sometime
you can have yours I want to.....
Savour my time without reason or ryhme
I'm going down to the basement
I left something down there
It is not in my mind
it is following me around
like a faithful old bloodhound
might come & undo me
I've been looking for a clue
now I know what to do
I've been waiting for sometime
you can have yours I want a.....
Revolution in my life
You say that you got the answers
you heard them all on the telephone
& now you're telling everybody
a major coup in the business zone
We got new thoughts new ideas it's all so groovey
it's just a shame that we have seen the same old movies
So you think that you got a first in fashion
new uniforms we all look the same
A new vogue for the now generation
a new profit in the same old game
We got new thoughts etc etc...
& you think you can run & hide what you've done
Like a snake calling on the phone
I've got no time to be alone
There is someone coming at me all the time
Yeah babe I think I'll lose my mind
'Cause I'm stranded on my own
Stranded far from home, all right
I'm riding on a midnight train
And everybody looks just the same
A subway light it's dirty reflection
I'm lost babe I got no direction
And I'm stranded on my own
Stranded far from home, all right
Stranded - Yeah I'm on my own
Stranded - I'm so far from home
Stranded - You gotta leave me alone
'Cause I'm stranded on my own, stranded far from home.
Come on!
Look at me looking at you
There ain't a thing that I can do
You are lost, your mind is stuck in a whirl
Yeah honey such a stupid girl
Now I'm stranded on my own
Stranded far from home, come on.
Stranded - Yeah I'm on my own
Stranded - I'm so far from home
Stranded - You gotta leave me alone
'Cause I'm stranded on my own, stranded far from home.
All right
Livin' in a world insane
They cut out some heart and some brain
Been filling it up with dirt
Yeah baby dunno how it hurts
To be stranded on your own
Stranded far from home, all right
Stranded - I'm so far from home
Stranded - Yeah I'm on my own
Stranded - You got to leave me alone
Come on!
Stranded - I'm so far from home
Stranded - Yeah I'm on my own
Stranded - You got to leave me alone
'Cause I'm stranded on my own
What's that you say girl?
You did it all for me?
But you didn't want to
Lose your nobility
It sounds so wrong when you say it
It sounds so wrong when you say
I'm not playing your fool
But that's the story of love
(Repeat three times)
Like a deserted town in winter
The sun has gone and I linger on
The coloured lights on the pier
Have disappeared and the radio plays a sad song
Like a ship lost at sea I'm drowning
As the world closes in
Strength where are you now
Are you with me on this precipice
CHORUS
You can stay if you want to
But I must drift away
You can do what you want to
I'm leaving the ghosts behind
Frozen like a memory
1 close my eyes and then it's gone
As night turns into day
The clock is waiting to have its say
In a minute it's years
And the end is closing in
Strength where are you now
I'D BEEN WAITING All THE MORNING
SLOWLY DOING TIME I WAS FEELING FINE
SITTING OUT ON THE VERANDAH
I TOOK SOME WINE TO TURN MY MIND FROM YOU
AND THAT IT DID DO
SHE WAS THERE BUT UNDISCOVERED
CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS 1 WAS SOON TO BE
BUT SPANISH QUEENS LIKE THEIR POSSESSIONS
SO THE TREASURE IT WAS LOST TO ME
C'EST LA VIE
CH ... I'M STILL WAITING I'M STILL SEARCHING
I STILL BELIEVE IN SOMETHING SOMEWHERE SOMETIME.
I AM READY WILLING AND ABLE
TO BELIEVE IN SOMETHING SOMEWHERE SOMETIME
LATER ON IN THE ILLUSION OF CONQUERING MY OWN CONFUSION
SMASHING AWAY IN THE DARKNESS
WITH NO IDEA JUST WHAT IT All MEANS
WAS IT UNREAL AND HOW DID YOU FEEL
WHAT DID I STEAL EXCEPT MY OWN IDEALS.
When I rise in the morning
open my eyes in the cold dark rain
my coat is no protection
it won't stop me from going insane
in all of these feelings
babe it's so hard to find
an escape from the confusion
yes that is very hard to find
I guess you can feel it
I close my eyes
I can't stand the strain
There is a rage I can't cage here
I'm trapped inside this brain
in all of these feelings
babe it's so hard to find
an escape from the confusion
yes that is very hard to find
Now I want someone to tell me what to do
& someone to tell me if it's true
Won't you please be my
Won't you please be my somebody
When you laugh I cry
C'mon give me love before I die
Just one look in your pretty green eyes
babe you got me standing hypnotised
One more drink & then I'm gone
Here comes the holiday
With all the invites to the rest home for retards
The Hollywoodesque Cabaret
And wouldn't you know it feels so automatic
And such a subtle response
I never expected to feel so dejected
And with all the spite in the world
I never wanted to be who'd have thought I'd be
Sold Out, like a miner I'm digging for gold
Sold Out, I could never believe what I was told
Let's do the Cadillac stomp
Syphilitic rumba is on my agenda
just like a novel I'd read
It's as crass as a TV commercial
Such a subtle response
I never expected to feel so dejected
With all the spite in the world
1 never wanted to be who would have thought I'd be
Sold Out, like a miner I'm digging for gold
I'm talking but I can see
there is no one in front
my eyes can't deny
I'm staring at an empty sky
Listen to what I say
take a look at the things that I've done
I don't need anyone
& you don't come around
& love it lies on the ground
Midnight in the lepers home
all the creatures they start to roam
little girls in uniform
are talking on the telephone
to some one from the twilight zone
& your simple love will always save me
while the world around me is going crazy
So listen to what I say
take a look at the things that I've done
I don't need anyone
& you don't come around
There is a photograph in a haunted room
filled with memories that have gone too soon
& as I pass by every day
I say why does it make me feel this way...
There is life in the setting of the sun
& you know I think that it should go on
but as it turns around I have to say
Why does it make me feel this way....
Laughing sun & laughing moon
I know they sould be & I want to be to
but as it turns out I have to say
Well you sent me some words that you picked up from the
classics
the old friends that serve you
run for & deserve you
Time was so wonderful
when he was on your side
& all times through paradise
I could have tried
Consider it for yourself
you have stretched me like elastic
over words that mean nothing to
anyone that can count up to two
You were immaculate I thought
but I'm standing in the dark
& all times through paradise
It was late in the winter
When the weather was bitter
With the storm rolling in
Bringing death and disaster
The silence of night
Like gun fire was shattered
No shelter was left
For the poor and the wretched
Drums rolled and crashed
And the angels were singing
On the cliffs as I watched
The distant sail sinking
Master and slave to their death
Were sent flying
Under the waves luminous corpses would grin
Like the sharks who were waiting
No prayers were answered
No preference of class no deals could he done
Grown men would cry
Like a child for its mother
The violence of nature
Could not be appeased
Throw down a line
Shine me a light
I'm your prodigal son
And what I've seen ain't right
Throw the first stone
Show me a sign
I'm your prodigal son
Tell me what has been done
The night that we sailed
There were crowds on the quay side
Full of fear & excitement
Of an unknown tomorrow
The old world left behind us
We sailed to the horizon
The voyage was uneventful we had sailed there before
Until the night one mile from the headland
In a moment of truth
A pathetic twist of fortune
I'd heard a voice in my head I'd ignored it
Was it a warning & how would I know
All the hopes & the dreams on the rocks they were
shattered
No invitation was offered to debate the outcome
As I left that ship I was leaving a graveyard
When the world is cold & dark
& the rain comes
don't let it fall on me
in a world as cold as ice
I keep a fire burning
just to keep out the dark
no soldier of fortune I
but I feel the tension rise
there'll be no call to arms tonight
& there ain't no holy fight
I'll see you in paradise
When the change that's soon to come
has taken you
you know where I'll be
Someone must pay the price
I ask the lord
don't let it be you or me
no soldier of fortune I
but I feel the tension rise
there'll be no call to arms tonight
& there ain't no holy fight
I want security, without it I'm at a great loss
I want security, yeah I want it at any cost, now
I don't want no money, no no no no
I don't want no fame
For security I have a need for it, babe yeah
All I need, babe, is security, yeah
And a little love that will be true
My baby that's what I want from you
Your sweetened lips, they tell me that you're the one for
So darling how can I forget?
I said how can I forget now?
I want security, I'm gonna tell you once again now
I want security, I wanna get it in the end now
Your sweetened lips you know, they tell me that you're
the one for me
So darling how can I forget?
So darling how can I forget now?
I want security
Yeah that's all I'm living for
Yeah I want security
Babe I want it more and more now
Yeah that's all I'm living for
Save me, I want you to save me
I said save me! I want you to save me right now
Promised myself that was the first little mess*
I done gived it up, no second chance
It's safe to say you chalk too fine*
The closer I go to you babe I'm going out of my mind
Save me, I want you to save me
I said save me! Come on save me right now
Those who love always give the most
Where crowds will gather now from coast to coast
Love leaves you cold and hurt inside
These ills of mine, they are justified
Save me, I want you to save me
I said save me! Come on save me right now
You are always sayin' that you needed me
But honey you abused my love
You set me free but you didn't mean it now
Somebody better help my baby, this gal's going so crazy
Save me, I want you to save me
I said save me! You better save me right now
Call in the Caped Crusader, Green Hornet, too
I'm in so much trouble I don't know what to do
If you think anything about me, save me
Don't you know little girl that I - I'm beggin' you
Save me! I said I want you to save me
I said save me! I want you to save me right now
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Save me!
Save me!
Save me!
Save me!
Save me!
Save me!
Save me!
On the train back to Paris it was raining in the
carriage
I was talking to the window it was ignoring me
the ageing seargent major drinking whisky from brown
paper
terrorized the tourists who thought they were on TV
this drunken son of empire threw up in the corner
accosted everyone in sight all through the noisy night
& they were all running away from home
I'd done a runner from the asylum
hitched a ride with the matron
began selling cardboard cutouts of my own disease
I'd no respect for the institution
I wasn't seeking absolution
there was talk of a revolution
but I missed the wheels going round
& as the rich get richer
the ditches that you're digging
are no deeper than the ditch
you get eventually...
& we were all running away from home
They was a crowd at the station
like a carnival of thieves
the cripples & the gypsies wre begging on their knees
ignored & abandoned I could not find relief
I couldn't listen to their speeches
I wasn't standing on my own two feet...
I lost the plot in the graveyard
drank some wine on the boulevard
began talking in an american accent
to see if they could undersdtand me
three college girls on vacation
seemed to adore the masturbation
of the sycophantic sophomore
I was pretending to be
meanwhile back in the asylum
with Joesephine & Napoleon
I was just about to speak
when she made it quite clear
You are just like a magazine
front cover stuff
you're a scream
posed in such a careful way
there is nothing you can't do
you think you have seen it all
got pictures habging on your wall
fame is nothing new to you
but the good old days are through
You're rundown now out of time
don't want to hear the same old line
c'mon now my little friend
don't you know now that this is the end
Call up the chaueffer & the hire car
down the west end to your favorite bar
talk is going to save you life
before the pills can go too far
You're lost in a masquerade
old girls live on they never fade
fame is nothing new to you
but the good old days are through.
You're rundown etc etc...
Call up you managers & your friends
no one wants to see you
but they pretend
You're such a star
& we all live for you
Night time can't bear to be alone
so find yourself a crowd until the dawn
fame is nothing new for you
but the good old days are through
On the left on the right honey, it's all the same
People everywhere are still playing the same old game,
yeah
For a dime they put you down lay you in your grave, yes
they will
They put you down when you are not around it drives you
insane
That's why I gotta get some changes made
Honey, want to rearrange some day
C'mon little baby, my mind is getting sick of today
I said come on right now
Uptown downtown acting just like you should
Even if you play their game it won't do you no good
There's too many creeps out there hungry for your
blood, yes they are
They put you down when you are not around, drives you
insane
That's why I gotta get some changes made
Honey want to rearrange some day
C'mon little baby, my mind is sick enough of today
All right now!
You can say anything!
Come on, take it away!
Don't know why sometimes I don't feel like trying
Seeing everybody darlin' only makes me mad
If they don't like it honey guess that's too bad
It's just driving me mad
Goin' outta my brain!
It's drivin' me insane!
Can't stand this pain!
Ah, come on now!
Uptown downtown acting just like you should
Even if you play their game, it won't do you no good
There's too many creeps out there hungry for your
blood, yes they are
They put you down when you are not around, drives you
insane
That's why I gotta get some changes made
Honey want to rearrange some day
The tv screen becomes my eye
it's the legal monster of a future time
there is no opinion that ain't my own
no thought that isn't mine...completely
I said 21 years is a long long time
to be in this prison
when there is no crime
So jailer won't you bring the key
I want to break down the door
can you hear me
You know the damage gets done so fast
it's all the truths that just don't last
I got creeps in drag crawling round my door
disguised as priests they quote the law
Selling bibles for a secret fee
& it's all done for me
I'm such a lucky man
You know the damage gets done so fast
it's all the truths that just don't last
it's another lie they want to uphold
another day till we all grow old & break down
So I get bored with a TV mind
no place to go no future's mine
NF banners flying in the wind
like free lobotomies
I don't recommend one
So open your mouth & you get done
the police state keeps you on the run
scream injustice better scream it loud
as you're punched down in the crowd
It's so black as I crash into the backroom
I feel so sick honey listen to the girls moan
My eyes they water and my knees is a-weak
And I fall down every time that you speaks
Shine on shine my little star
Up above the world honey that you are
Shine on now you don't give me no love
Hit me like a deathray baby from above
Come on!
Speeding down the highway you got no time to waste
Brain all used up just like the human race
Head spinning around from the 39th highball
And your sultan owns a queen who ain't nothing but a
screwball
Shine on shine my little star
Up above the world honey that you are
Shine on now you don't give me no love
Hit me like a deathray baby from above
24 hours till the end of the show, boy
If you are looking for love that don't give you much
time, boy
If your baby's by your side you are gonna see her cry,
And when you look into her eyes it just won't bring you
no joy
Oh no!
Shine on shine my little star
Up above the world honey that you are
Shine on now you don't give me no love
Hit me like a deathray baby from above
WOW!
Come on!
I said take it
Take it down
Listen
(ten seconds of muttering)

You're the latest high fashion magazine
always hanging around trying to cause a scene
& oh so perfect in every little thing you do
I don't like the games you are playing
& you can't keep saying you just don't understand
Surround yourself with the best in life
you aren't wrong now but you ain't never been right
& don't ask questions unless it gets something for you
it's untrue....
I don't like the games you are playing
Every day & night
night & day
I've been around
to every back door eye-sore
hole in the ground
with a yes sir no sir
please tell me what to do
& won't you please let me have something to
Mystery dream
where are you
late in the night
when I look for you
well it's 3 am the clock is dead
the picture's gone
I look around for the chainsaw
the game is on
then the bright lights of city life
they cease to glow
& it's downtown in white coats
we want to know
Mystery dream
where are you
late in the night
Yes it can be very entertaining to be sold
so lead me to the marketplace I put my trust in you
& yes I know you're thinking very much of me now
& yes I know exactly what that means to me somehow
So I will watch my step
& then I will let go
So when the night time comes the daylight disappears
I drink a cup of mud to dissipate
& even though it doesn't do much good to get it all in
vain
I am left standing here with not much else to do
So I better watch my step
Who do think you are
you think that you know me well
I think that I know you better
you better take care
So you want me to apologise
you want me to tell you lies
you want me to make you feel better
but tell me is that wise
You are Miss Wonderful
your eyes they shine
simply wonderful
what is my crime
open up my eyes
At the convent you can't pay the rent
I believe you are heaven sent
maybe we can go to a disco
we can all go wild
So your daddy deals in the arts
& your mummy reads diet charts
maybe we should go to the Congo
When you left me all alone at the record hop
You said you were going out for a soda pop
You were gone for quite a while, half an hour or more
You came back and man-o-man this is what I saw
Lipstick on your collar it told a tale on you, yeah
Lipstick on your collar, it says you were untrue
Bet your bottom dollar you and I are through
'Cause lipstick on your collar, it told a tale on you
You said it belonged to me it made me stop to think
An' then I noticed yours was red and mine was baby pink
An' then who walked in but Mary Jane, her lipstick all
a mess
Were you smoochin' my best friend? I guess the answer's
yeah yeah!
Lipstick on your collar it told a tale on you, yeah
Lipstick on your collar, it says you were untrue
Bet your bottom dollar you and I are through
'Cause lipstick on your collar, it told a tale on you
Come on now!
You said it belonged to me, it made me stop to think
And then I noticed yours was red but mine was baby pink
And then walked in Mary Jane, lipstick all a mess
Were you smoochin' my best friend? I guess the answer's
yeah yeah!
Lipstick on your collar it told a tale on you, yeah
Lipstick on your collar, it says you were untrue
Bet your bottom dollar you and I are through
'Cause lipstick on your collar, it told a tale on you
Baby, it told a tale on you
Honey it told a tale on you
Sugar it told a tale on you
We all take a drink from the cup
then she politely knocks it over
I said I think that I've had enough
& she says no no this is not over
because there is no innocence or beauty in
what I have seen in your face
so let's pretend
I got up to take a walk across the floor
but my feet they would not hold me
she said you should never have come into this bar
& I say no I should never have come in
but I had been sold down the river to
somebody sold me
it could have been you
So every day time slips away
there is nothing to contain it
These eyes of mine don't see the sense
of trying to control it
because every time you stand up
you're bound to fall
& sometimes we just pretend
Have you ever seen a blind man as he stumbles & falls
Me I am just like the blind man
my hands are tied & I can't see anymore
So I take a drink from the cup
then she politely knocks it over
I said I think that I've had enough
& she says no no this is not over
because there is no innocence or beauty in
what I have seen in your face
I'm just sitting in my chair
when a voice comes on the air
says why don't you try it
it'll make you feel allright
Got some great new brand of smokes
cools your head
& clears your throat
keeps you young & so in touch
Cheap advertising
your lying
your never gonna get me what I want
all that smooth talking brain washing
ain't gonna get me what I need
A great new soap that's peachy keen
saves your soul & keeps you clean
it's recommended
used by the queen
Going to improve your IQ
helps with everything you do
it's economic
don't cost too much
Advertising
your lying
your never gonna get me what I want
all that smooth talking brain washing
ain't gonna get me what I need
One night in a motel room
eyes cast like steel
I drank the wine that they left on the table
I knew tomorrow was too far
I smoked my last pack of foreign cigarettes
I stay only to survive
the night was dark & the land was cold
it's frozen right to the bone
just like fire would
I burn up
just like fire would....
500 miles I have gone today
tomorrow it's 500 more
outside my window the world passes by
stranger than my dreams
just like fire would
I burn up
just like fire would....
I go to work & I earn my money
the sweat it falls to the ground
I see you now but we may never meet again
the ice is covering the ground
One night in a motel room
eyes cast like steel
I drank the wine that they left on the table
All my life I've wasted time
I looked outside to see the signs
lately I have realised
that it's in my mind
it's only a state of mind
Words become an endless stream
of nonsense thought
& nonsense dreamed
who am I to criticise
I am not that wise
or hypnotised
because it's only time.....
Empty words from an empty shell
what lives within I cannot tell
who am I to criticise
I am not that wise
or hypnotised

A lot of crank air
Eroding around here
Summer's ready

I like every kind of fair
In the crowd, you bet I'll be there!
Walkin' around
Going nowhere
Seeing Sooey and saints at the fair

Someone said you're feeling ill
Well they€™ve got this brand new pill
Does anything you want but it doesn€™t come cheap
Fast food particles stick to the veins
Car exhaust goes to the brain
Sickness is always free
Help doesn€™t come that easy
Lungs black with smoke
I watch my neighbors die
They€™ve got no self-control
When they die no one cries
€œI could give a fuck for you€? is the song they€™re singing
So I wrote this one for us
Now the big hand€™s hit the hour
Could you give this up completely?
Whisper to me what you want
I would love to see you happy
And I€™d come to visit soon
But these streets are filled with landmines
And these buildings lie in ruin
And I€™m bleeding on the inside
I feel angry I feel tired
All bad habits turned to sickness
If they€™re all saints then I€™m a liar
But I think its time we fix this
How'd we end up alone?
You've got someone at home
The one you'll love till you die
So do I
Don't forget me
Don't forget me
It's so easy to fall
And think of nothing at all
Staying strong is a fight
Though I try
Don't forget me
Don't forget what we could've had
Stand my ground
Though I wanna stay with you tonight
I'd sit back down
If you'd come around at other times
I promise now
That I won't forget the best thing I've never had
We could sneak underground
Speak, but don't make a sound
But I won't let her down
Down, down, down
Though you get me
Like no one gets me
Don't forget me
Don't forget what we could've had
Stand my ground
Though I wanna stay with you tonight
I'd sit back down
If you'd come around at other times
I promise now
That I won't forget the best thing I've never had
Won't forget the best thing I've never had
Won't forget the best thing I've never had
All I need is a holiday
From my vocation as a saint
Hearts are beating fast, we're the same
In every way
That is why I can't come back again
Don't forget me
Don't forget me
You've got everything I need
You've got it but I cannot stray away
This night will always be with me
Stand my ground
I'd sit back down
I promise now
That I won't forget the best thing I've never had
Won't forget the best thing I've never had
This was my call to your arms
Sounding silent alarms
Will you love me when you hear me lie?
This last time
I've seen a sea of change
This fleeting love that leaves me alone
This last time
Lift me now from this pain
You know the way to bring me home
As we die
We've dimmed our lights past darkness
Hiding our way back from this
Swallowing every glimpse of our faithfulness
Who will guide us home when we cannot see?
The weak to follow the lead
It's taking over our lives
As we live, as we die
I've seen a sea of change
This fleeting love that leaves me alone
This last time
Lift me now from this pain
You know the way to bring me home
As we die
It's taking over our lives
As we live, as we die (2x)
I've seen a sea of change
This fleeting love that leaves me alone
This last time
Lift me now from this pain
You know the way to bring me home
As we die
As we die
How'd we end up alone?
You've got someone at home
The one you'll love 'til you die
So do I
Don't forget me
It's so easy to fall
And think of nothing at all
Staying strong is a fight
Though I try
Don't forget me
Don't forget what we could've had
Stand my ground
Though I wanna stay with you tonight
I'd sit back down
If you'd come around at other times
I promise now
That I won't forget the best thing I've never had
We could sneak underground
Speak, but don't make a sound
But I won't let her down
Though you get me
Like no one gets me
All I need is a holiday
From my vocation as a saint
Hearts are beating fast; we're the same (in every way)
That is why I can't come back again
Don't forget me
You've got everything I need
You've got it but I cannot stray away
This night will always be with me
Stand my ground
I'd sit back down
I promise now
That I won't forget the best thing I've never had
Why can't you be my way
I keep on dressin' while I'm pushing you away
Don't stop just bring the strays
This is what I've done
To keep from here on strong
Cause if a girls night highlights
I finally got it, I wont give it up
Remember when you said you liked that
It's played out so clear off
Willingness in you can't be replaced
Remember when you said you'd try that
Like that but it's to late
I want to take it now before this drifts away
Wait til the school bell has chimed
They will sing a song, pay me all this love
Cause if a dump truck such luck
You keep pretending I keep you around
Remember when you said you'd try that
Remember when I call and I say
The best girls that I love wont be ashamed
Believe me when I call and I say
The next girl that I love wont be a saint
Now go away
Remember when I call and I say
The best girls that I love wont be ashamed
Believe me when I call and I say
The next girl that I call wont be a saint
Believe me when I call and I say
The best girls that I love wont be ashamed
Remember when I call and I say
The next girl that I love wont be a saint
We are the Saints,
We are the chosen ones,
We will lead them on.
We are the Saints,
We are the chosen ones,
We will lead them on,
Into the storm!
I am a giant,
Waiting to be evoked.
Be prepared for the war!
A fail slash,
Of my mighty sword,
Nations will crumble!
I have stared
Death in the face,
But I will overcome!
We are the Saints,
We are the chosen ones,
We will lead them on. (We will lead them on)
We are the Saints, (We are the Saints)
We are the chosen ones,
We will lead them on.
Never again,
Will I doubt the weakness
Of a thousand faithless men.
This is a war,
That you will never win.
Why can't you understand?
Surrender,
throw your flag.
Surrender,
Throw your flag away
Burn!
Burn it all!
Burn it all!
The world will crumble at the sound of your voice.
The world will crumble at the sound of your voice.
The world will crumble at the sound of your voice.
The world will crumble at the sound of your voice.
We are the Saints,
We are the chosen ones,
We will lead them on. (We will lead them on)
We are the Saints, (We are the Saints)
We are the chosen ones,
We will lead them on,
Into the storm!
You'll never reach the end!
The End!
The world will crumble at the sound of your voice.
At seventeen I heard my calling
To suffocate with my embrace
Murder ten to save a hundred
Drown the whole world in my faith
From a long line I descended
Immaculate, an empty womb
And the spur is desperation
Maybe God is desperate too
In watermarks and lonely places
A private measurement of time
In made up names and blacked out faces
Youre the party in my bones
And the second thought my brain can hold
On how to live life
Even when it gets stolen
Cause yours was taken
And I blame the sky
But youd never waste your time
On blaming the clouds
Youd raise your glass
And make a toast
From here on out
I toast to you.
So teach the saints how to laugh
I hope theres a few more years till Im heaven sent
Show the blessed the life you lead
The Lord is my Shepherd
I shall not want.
Your heart was a machine
Giving life all around you
But last night the world cried
When it said goodbye to an Angel
And now, death is apparent
And your voice has departed
But if your eyes were the sun
Than Im the one of many bathing
Send me your grace
And through my face
Youre going to burn.
