A troop is a military unit, originally a small force of cavalry, subordinate to a squadron and headed by the troop leader. In many armies a troop is the equivalent unit to the infantry section or platoon. Exceptions are the Royal Horse Artillery and the US Cavalry, where troop refers to an infantry company or artillery battery.
A cavalry soldier of private rank is called a trooper (abbreviated Tpr., not to be confused with trouper).
A related sense of the term troop refers to soldiers collectively, as in the troops; see Troop (disambiguation).
Today, a troop is defined differently in different armed forces.
In the Australian army a troop is the equivalent of a platoon sized element in units of certain corps, those being:
The SASR is the only unit in the Royal Australian Infantry Corps to use the term troop to refer to its platoon size elements. SASR troops are also unusual as they are commanded by a captain—most troop/platoon sized elements are commanded by a lieutenant. In all cases, units which refer to platoon sized elements as troops refer to company-sized elements as squadrons and battalion-sized elements as regiments. Privates in the RAAC and SASR hold the rank "Trooper" instead of private, however this is not the case for any other Corps/units which use the term Troops.
It was a day like today
A Sunday afternoon
When they took you away
Down to Hades in a shopping trolley
With a magazine and a suitcase
They stole your clothes
I took your watch
I couldn't look you in the eyes
Why is it always those you love the most
You criticise?
Say oh no stranger
You're just like me
These things happen
We were children
In the mid-90s
Say oh no stranger
You're just like me
We get older
They get younger
It was you or me
We stood there
Throwing ice cream in your hair
Oh I solemnly swear
It's the thing I life I regret the most
Leaving you standing there
And if you asked me
I'd pull my eyes out
And when I woke up blind
If you forgave me I would sleep at night
Knowing I've led a good life
Say oh no stranger
You're just like me
These things happen
We were children
In the mid-90s
Say oh no stranger
You're just like me
We get older
They get younger
It was you or me
Learning how to keep living
Oh no stranger
You're just like me
These things happen
We were children
In the mid-90s
Say oh no stranger
You're just like me
We get older
They get younger
Met this girl last night,
She's a real life dancer
The kind that will change your life
She just stepped right up and sat down,
Took a brand new tiara and laying it on the ground
She said,
Are you healthy?
Do my pheromones make you happy?
How do you tell a child that there's no God up in the sky,
And it's all a lie,
For Nothing
How do you tell a son that his daddy left his mum when she fell in love with a girl like you?
Ohhh
With a girl like Sappho
With a girl like you
Ohhh
With a girl like Sappho
With a girl like you
Took a ride in her car,
She had back seat speakers
She took me to her favourite bar.
She kicked off her heels again,
Took a swing at the lampshade
And whispered softly in my ear,
Are you healthy?
Do my pheromones make you happy?
How do you tell a child that there's no God up in the sky,
And it's all a lie,
For nothing
How do you tell a son that his daddy left his mum when she fell in love with a girl like you?
Ohhh
With a girl like Sappho
With a girl like you
Ohhh
With a girl like Sappho
With a girl like you
Are you healthy?
Do my pheromones make you happy?
How do you tell a child that there's no God up in the sky,
And it's all a lie,
For nothing
How do you tell a son that his daddy left his mum when she fell in love with a girl like you?
Ohhh
With a girl like Sappho
With a girl like you
Ohhh
With a girl like Sappho
An awakening of self, wrapped up and ready to go.
Just wanna dance with you but I won't let it show.
Do you remember how we were? Late nights on the trampoline.
Just wanna dance with you, this time it's plain to see.
Stay awake to watch you sleep. I'm young but I don't feel well.
I'm not in love with you but i won't let you tell.
If you could list your favorite things. Fast food and magazines.
I'm not in love with you, this time it's plain to see.
Well i'm saving up my time, for use on someone else.
Not much left here anyway...I blame that on myself.
But I wouldn't change a thing, i'm better off alone.
Took a walk yesterday
To the places we would play
Then Charlie passed away
And it hasn't been the same
In this island in the sea
That was made for you and me
Could you make yourself believe
Your not happy
Girls in the pub make the boys feel lonely
Man in the street screams the country's unholy
Have you noticed the change in the weather lately
Its getting me down, always saying I'm sorry
In the corner of an English field
With the devil trying to cut a deal
I've decided I don't want to go home
Don't you leave me, don't you leave me alone
The day you dyed your hair
How we watched the people stare
You said you didn't care
And it was nothing
A hundred years from now
When we're six feet underground
Do you think there'll be a crowd
Still laughing
Girls in the pub make the boys feel lonely
Man in the street screams the country's unholy
In the corner of an English field
With the devil trying to cut a deal
I've decided I don't want to go home
Don't you leave me, don't you leave me alone
Do you really want to be a part of it?
That's when your eyes won't close and your dress don't fit
Do you really want to be a part of it?
From the back of the bus where we first kissed
And don't you know
It's where we call home
It's where we call home
In the corner of an English field
With the devil trying to cut a deal
I've decided I don't want to go home
Don't you leave me, don't you leave me alone
I see colors,
Well I can't quite work out why.
Am I at the bottom of the ocean?
Or way up in the sky?
Am I alone or with friends?
I hear thunder
And a thousand words in song
A symphony so beautiful
I had to sing along
Am I alone or with friends?
Either way, to find old lovers hands
Writing messages in the sand
I feel cold and the the air's too thin to breath.
Now you couldn't possibly imagine how much of you I need,
Am I alone or with friends?
Either way to find old lovers hand
Writing messages in the sand
Just let go and let your body do the work
Like an angel made of stone to dust
If the universe is kind to leave our soul behind
Then bury me waaaay out at sea
Just you and meeee
Just let go and let your body do the work
Like an angel made of stone to dust
If the universe is kind to leave our soul behind
Then bury me waaaay out at sea
She's a gypsy queen, real tall and mean
She's an airplane, no one's ever seen
She's a firecracker, real dancehall master
She's a hurricane when you walk past her
She's the morning sun in the midnight wind
She'd sell her soul for all her sins
She'll come right at you, real Cleopatra
You take all you got, and you give it to her
Did you see that lightning in the sky
A window to my mind
It leaves me hypnotized
Somewhere better
Did you feel that thunder hit last night
A poison in my mind
It leaves me hypnotized
Somewhere better
Verse 2:
She's a striptease, real hard to please
She'll cheer you up, bring you to your knees
She's a movie star, fast sports car
She's a razor blade, she'll take you far
She's the ocean's cool, and your midnight ride
She's a devil's church, and a preacher's wife
She'll come right at you, real Cleopatra
You take all you got, and you give it to her
Did you see that lightning in the sky
A window to my mind
It leaves me hypnotized
Somewhere better
Did you feel that thunder hit last night
A poison in my mind
It leaves me hypnotized
Somewhere better
I don't care for dancing
but thanks for asking
Did you see that lightning in the sky
A window to my mind
It leaves me hypnotized
Somewhere better
Did you feel that thunder hit last night
A poison in my mind
It leaves me hypnotized
Twisted and bent out of shape
We might need a change of direction
It's all depending, I have it worked out
My brothers are about for some action
Back against the wall
Face all ... to fall
Ain't it strange how the other half live?
Ain't it strange how the other half live?
Quit condescending, it's driving me mad
Like you're looking for some kind of reaction
No mediocrity with the circus in town
Like you're waiting for the crowd to break open
Back against the wall
Face all ... to fall
Ain't it strange how the other half live?
Ain't it strange how the other half live?
Give it, give it, give it
You gotta give it some time
You gotta give it some time
Before you try to give up
Give it, give it, give it
You gotta give it some time
You gotta give it some time
Before you try to give up
Give it, give it, give it
You gotta give it some time
You gotta give it some time
Before you try to give up
Give it, give it, give it
You gotta give it some time
You gotta give it some time
Find me where the summer hides a ride
And I'll spend a life with you
Til the red skies turning blue
And that's alright
Find me where the warm wind's coming through
And I'll spend these days with you
Til the red lights turning blue
And that's alright
(Being around)
So you are the old path keeping up
With birds in your mouth
Feathers in your hair
Feathers in your hair
I spent the last few months in a warm house
Packing our suitcases with the sun in our eyes
But I spent my last five years in a ghost town
Trying to find someone I like being around
Hey lady would you give me a second to
I've got something on my mind to share with you
I wont keep you and I wont tell you no lies
But last night I saw a change in the coulor of the sky
She said boy you know I saw it too
The blue thunder, like the worlds coming after you
I was scared, it was like nothing I ever seen
A black cloud singing hymns for you and me
Come on, forget me
For leaving you so easely
Make a new
Home boy
If you live this life
With one eyed shut
Now you never get enough
Noo boy
If you live this life
With one eyed shut
Now you never get enough
Come on help me, Im just asking you to be my friend
I'm no lover, but I love you til the very end
When I left her she sat there in the bathtub crying
Screaming Jesus, I said you and my time were dying
I watched the sun cut thru the sky like razorblades
Oh morning won't you come and drink the pain away
Don't wanna live my life like this no more
Spend my days laying awake on the bedroom floor
Come on, forgive me
For leaving you so easely
Make a new
Home boy
If you live this life
With one eyed shut
Now you never get enough
Noo boy
If you live this life
With one eyed shut
Now you never get enough
Noo boy
If you live this life
With one eyed shut
Now you never get enough
Noo boy
If you live this life
With one eyed shut
Now you never get enough
Noo boy
If you live this life
With one eyed shut
Some mad day my mind slips away
Bringing thoughts of yesterday
Ahh, Ahh, Ahh
Brown soil sifts through fingers of clay
Modeling thoughts of yesterday
Ahh, Ahh, Ahh
Ahh, Ahh
Love is dying, sighing, crying
After it's over
Looked despaired, she never cared
After it's over
Freedom lasting, love is passing
Now that it's over
Falling leaves, now Autumn is here
Covering memories of last year
Ahh, Ahh, Ahh
Birds fly rest cries life must go on
Future depending on
Ahh, Ahh, Ahh
Ahh, Ahh
Love is dying, sighing, crying
After it's over
Looked despaired, she never cared
After it's over
Freedom lasting, love is passing
BLACK CLOUD
(M. Galley/T. Galley)
No time to stop, keep on movin'
The whole world is to see
No time to think of things that I am missing
Wherever I go
Black cloud's following me
Each and every town
I'm father's last relation
Doing what I can just to eat
Never 'wanna settle down
I ain't got the patience
Wherever I go
Black cloud's following me
I'm a citizen of no where
The sky's above my head
I wonder where the grass grows
Looking through the sunshine
'Til my judgement day, my judgement day
Wherever I go
Black cloud's following me, yeah
Oh, it's following me around
Don't leave me be
No time to think of the things that I am missing
I've got to keep on moving along, babe
You know I can't settle down, or I'd be dead
Come, come, come here
No time to stop, keep on movin'
'Cause all the world is to see
No time to think
The thing that I am missing
Wherever I go
The black cloud's following me
I'm a citizen of nowhere
The sky's above my head
I wonder where the grass grows
Looking through the sunshine
'Til my judgement day, my judgement day
Wherever I go
Black cloud's following me
You know it's following, following, following me
Never let me go
Keep on moving
We have got to make it
We are going to take it, yeah
We are going to take it I am not 'gonna make it
Goin' today, just passin'
The road I know so well
Seems the more I ride you
You give me more
You'll tell
And if I try
Soon it will show
To keep me strong
And know that I've had times
So good
From coast to coast
Leavin' my hard times behind
And if I try
Soon it will show
To keep me strong
And know that I've had time
So good from coast to coast
Leavin' my hard times behind
Oh I love the coast
I love the coast
I think to myself; it's only a dream
But, God, the connection is real that brings me here
What did I do to deserve the place that I'm in
Did I sin?
It's so dark down here I can't see a thing
I'm so stiff, so numb, I can't feel a thing
My legs, my hands, my body is so cold
Am I old?
They laugh at each other and wallow about
In the slime of the depths of forgotten meaningless rhymes
Even the quiet of voices of people that heal
Think I'm real
Through shades of depths of madness I hear
The violence of the people that talk without fear
For they know that I've gone
They're glad that I'm not coming back
The kettle's on, the sun has gone, another day
She offers me, Tibetan tea, on a flower tray
She's at the door, she's want's to score, she really needs to say:
"I once loved you a long time ago, you know
Where the winds own forget-me-nots blow, you know
But I couldn't let myself go
Not knowing what on earth there was to know
But I wish that I had, 'cause i'm feeling so sad
that I never had one of your children."
Across the room, inside a tomb, a chance is waxed and waned
The night is young, why are we so hung-up, in each other's chains
I must take her, I must make her, while the dove domains
See the juice run as she flies
Run my wings under her sighs
As the flames of eternity rise
To lick us with the first born lash of dawn
Oh really my dear, I can't see what we fear
With ourselves, sat here between us
And at the door, we can't say more, than just another day
Ruler of all the castles you keep
Racing car driver lost in your sleep
Don't be afraid, it's only a dream
Galley-Jones
Verily, Verily I say unto you
And you, and you, and you
A rhyme in time a verse or two
Will make my mind feel blue
Will alter all my life anew
And you, and you, and you
Will alter all my trivial thoughts
And give my mind a view
Verily, Verily I say unto you
And you, and you, and you
Verily, Verily I say unto you
And you, and you, and you
So faster, faster I will run
I'll run, and run, and run
From inteference from my mind
And you, and you, and you
Verily, Verily I say unto you
And you, and you, and you
Verily, Verily I say unto you
And you, and you, and you
So faster, faster I will run
I'll run, and run, and run
From inteference from my mind
KEEPIN' TIME
(M. Galley/T. Galley)
I ain't got a ticket but I'm gonna ride
Just 'gotta keepin' time with the music
I'm raisin' my hands up but I'm touchin' the sky
Just gotta keepin' time with the music
Don't stop. Don't stop the music
Don't stop. Don't stop the band
Don't stop. We're goin' to use it
Don't stop. Don't stop the band
Don't stop. Don't stop the music
Don't stop. Don't stop the band
Don't stop. We're goin' to use it
Don't stop. Don't stop the band
Don't stop now 'cause I'm breakin' through
Just 'gotta keepin' time with the music
I can't stop my feelings it's all up to you
Just gotta keepin' time with the music
Don't stop. Don't stop the music
Don't stop. Don't stop the band
Don't stop. We're goin' to use it
Don't stop. Don't stop the band
Don't stop. Don't stop the music
Don't stop. Don't stop the band
Don't stop. We're goin' to use it
Rowley
It's your smile, all the while
Keeps me dreaming of today
In your eyes, summer flies
Winter comes and slips away
In my grief filled with dreams
There's a face in a stream
And it seems to be mine
Send me no more letters
And perhaps I might feel better
If you make me no more promises today
Baby, send me no more sorrow
And perhaps I'll see tomorrow
Through a cloud of hazy sadness
All the way
Walk away
Walk away
You're the one who I depended on
To get me through another day
In my mind, all the time
There is nothing I can say
In the back of my mind
Ever faith on our side
And it seems to be fine
Send me no more letters
And perhaps I might feel better
If you make me no more promises today
Baby, send me no more sorrow
And perhaps I'll see tomorrow
Through a cloud of hazy sadness
All the way
Walk away
Walk away
Send me no more letters
And perhaps I might feel better
If you make me no more promises today
Baby, send me no more sorrow
And perhaps I'll see tomorrow
Through a cloud of hazy sadness
All the way
Walk away
The paper called it suicide
A bullet from a forty-five
Nobody cared and nobody cried
Don't that make you feel sad?
Peter Brent combed his hair
And sent for the police
Policeman came, took Peter's name
God, may he rest in peace
No one saw the note beside the body
No one knew the problems
But my God
Suicide
The body remains unidentified
Forgotten in a file
Like the letter that was blown aside
Don't that make you want to smile?
No one was really satisfied
About number eighty-one
The autopsy proved that Peter lied
But they never could find the gun
No one saw the note beside the body
No one knew the problems
But my God
Now I know you don't love me baby
You're just trying to find a friend
Darling don't deny
You're a beauty in anybody's eyes
I'm in the gutter and you're in the skies
Shining like a star
Baby don't be cruel
'Cause if you drag me into loving you
My poor heart would surely break in two
And that's a chance I can't take
So don't think I'm stupid, but I don't understand
Why you're talking to me and holding my hand
What d'you want with a loser like me?
'Cause I'm so confused
Look at any other man and you'll see
That I was born to lose
This ain't reality
'Cause I ain't ever fit to shine your shoes
I'm just a loser with the blues
Darling, think again
'Cause you don't love me, you're just trying to find a friend
You're on the rebound and this is bound to end
So set yourself free
You can sit there smiling and laugh it all away
But I'll be here crying when you leave me someday
What d'you want with a loser like me
When the world's in your hands?
When I think of all you could be
And I'm just a fool without a plan
Is there nothing I can say?
Got to make you try and understand
What d'you want with a loser like me?
'Cause I'm so confused
Look at any other man and you'll see
That I was born to lose
This ain't reality
I'm just a loser with the blues
What d'you want with a loser like me
When the world's in your hands?
When I think of all you could be
And I'm just a fool without a plan
Is there nothing I can say?
Got to make you try and understand
I'm just a loser in a band, mmm
I stand with open hand and mind
I stand upon the brink
Of greater things I hope I'll find
Maybe of another kind
I think
I stand with open hand and mind
My eyes can see no wrong
In you I'm being left behind
And will I ever could have be so blind
I think
It's my life, my only life
My life to do as I see fit to do with
It's my life, my only life
My life to do as I see fit to do with
I stand upon an empty plain
A thousand buildings fell and never rose again
I see my future embroidered on the rain
I think
It's my life, my only life
My life to do as I see fit to do with
It's my life, my only life
My life to do as I see fit to do with
It's my life, my only life
Hughes
The Giant's dead, hoorah!
Call the captain today
No need to be alarmed
Everybody get stoned
We have his goddamn head
Hang him up from his hair
We'll make a skipping rope
Leave the rest for a snail
We'll take all his belongings
Clean them, sell them
His castle we will keep
We will sleep
(Free, free)
We're free to do what we want
We're free to say what we say
We're free to do what we want today, yeah
Our dreams have all come true
A life of ease to please our kids
When they come home from school
Jimmy, go out and play
Peace of mind is what you'll find today, today
It's too good to be true
Perhaps we join up the crew
The writings on the wall
Tell your friends free for all
We're glad our freedom's here
Hope that now it's all clear
We'll take all his belongings
Clean them, sell them
His castle we will keep
Nancy Gray, I'm sorry
It just didn't go my way
Well I could, it's no good
One day they'll all realize
Until then, bye bye, so long
Someday they'll see where we both belong
Come what may
Nancy, Nancy Gray
I'll find a way
To sing once again, 'til then
Nancy Gray there's one place
I'd be where you are
Where you are, the place is
A place it is not too far
I know how, believe me
I've read in books and things, I've sought it out
I'm just scared to do it, it's wrong
How far is the rainbow and how far is the sky
How far, how far
Come what may
Nancy, Nancy Gray
I'll find a way
JURY
(M. Galley/T. Galley)
Condemn the believers
Stop the music playing loud and clear
Distort now their visions
And pull down the shutters, for damnation is near
For damnation's near
Point now your finger of scorn
Raise the anger of the critic's pen
Come down in a favour
Make the break given the chance to win
Given the chance to win
Given the chance to win
The jury stands in judgement
The writing's on my wall
Writing's on the wall
And though they stand in silence
He's heading for the fall
He's heading for the fall
Oh, they think that I'm something else
They think I'll fall
They've go to be on the devil's side
Oh here they go
Break it up
We have got to stop it
The jury stands in judgement
The writing's on my wall
Writing's on the wall
And though they stand in silence
He's heading for the fall
Oh they're heading for the fall
Condemn the believers
Stop the music playing loud and clear
Distort now their visions
And pull down the shutters, for damnation is near
For damnation's near
Gave them their chances
They fell to the ground
I gave them all they had
But they were not around
They could not love
They could not love
Oh, they fell to the ground
TOUCH MY LIFE
(M.Galley/T. Galley)
I've been waiting
For so long
For love
To touch my life
The feeling's inside
I've been waiting
For so long
For love
To touch my life
Now I feel it inside
Good morning, love, I hope you will stay
All of my life you've been running away
Around and around
Never turning inside
I've got a love, a love I can't hide
I've been waiting
So long
For my love to come, oh to touch my life
The feeling's inside
Oh this is my life
And I feel it inside
You have been running away
Touch my soul
Before you do
I've been waiting
For so long
For your love
To touch my life
The feeling's inside
Oh to touch my life
The feeling's inside
To touch my life
The feeling's inside
Oh to touch my life
Oh to touch my life
Oh the feeling's inside
Oh the feeling's
I've got, I've got, I've got
I have got to
I have got to have
I have got to have some
SEAFULL
(Hughes)
Sleep a while
Then take a look
Rubbing my eyes
The truth above
Oh my hand starts creeping
To where you lay
Still sunset below
At the top of your bed
Yes, it's a seafull
Burning our chain
Garden of Eden
Forever we'll stay
Talk to tears in your hand
Surely see, oh you've 'gotta be in another land
Oh, you know where I can be found, yeah
Sowing the seeds of love right here
Stretch out your light
To shade in the past
Now he who speaks
Can tell in our time
Gone is the day
And now here comes the night
Yes, it's a seafull
Burning our chain
Garden of Eden
Forever we'll stay
Yes, it's a seafull
Burning our chain
Garden of Eden
Forever we'll stay
Forever we'll stay
Forever we'll stay
Forever we'll stay
MEDUSA
(Hughes)
You're bound to think I'm on the shore
From a sea that never came
Now's the time to find the time
I've done what has to be done
Voices call the nameless one
Crying all of the time
Tales of no one in my sleep
Stepping out into the night
Heard you said you saw Medusa
The one with the head of fire
Heard the legend of Medusa
Lies in the devil's sighs
I've got myself to blame
Through talking to your brother
Too late to say I'll stay
Too late to say I'll bother
Take out your thorn and speak
Afraid you are to keep
Flailling forces fail
Now wake before you sleep
You said you saw Medusa
She was looking down on you
But the legend of Medusa
Soon be with you
You're bound to think I'm on the shore
From a sea that almost came
There's no time to find the time
I've done what has to be done
I've done what has to be done
I have done
I have done
I have done
I have done
I have done
I have done
I, I, I have done what has to be done
Now I've got to find a way home
Take a good look at my face
Red Sun at Sabbath
Hangs over the deceased
My black eyed caesar
Drunk as he sings his songs
I’m diggin’ dancin’
With Mezcal the soldier
Shooting the jukebox
Dead phoney preacher down
We hang clever,
reap our treasure
I’m gettin’ restless
Hangin’ around this street
Corporate vampires
Hustle the day along
Some pretty school girls
Stop at the corner
My man comes walkin’
A smile and his heels on
We hang clever,
reap our treasure
Ooh We’d like to show you sweet oblivion
Ooh We’d like to show you sweet oblivion
We eat your wishes
Fast as you think ’em up
Bad teeth gone vicious
Sinkin’ around your heart
So pretty cool things
You know we’re waiting inside the shadows
Givin’ you what you want
We hang clever,
reap our treasure
Ooh We’d like to show you sweet oblivion
Ooh We’d like to show you sweet oblivion
Ooh We’d like to show you sweet oblivion
I’m like a rodeo
Up, down
On the rebound
It’s very sad you know
I don’t know who I am
It’s petty and very hysterical
To get so messed up like this
I am sure that I’m makin’ no sense at all
I just can’t seem to read the signs
I’d like to leave this all behind
I wish that you could read my mind
I’ve really gotta go
In, out
It’s all the same now
Maybe I’ll stay and blow
You, me
The whole things goin’ down
This party seems never ending
How long have we been talking?
There must be some clearly marked exit
Where can I run?
Where can I hide?
How do we get off this ride?
I wish that you could read my mind
I’m like a rodeo
Up, down, on the rebound
It’s such a freaky show
You, me, we’re all going down
But where do we start to make sense of
All the divine conclusions
Hold my calls, I’m not here at all
I’m another place another time
Guess I drank too much of this wine
I wish that you could read my mind
Can you tell me-What is the time
I've been lost in the shadows,
A rabbit caught in the head lights
Of something far and beyond the reach of me
How can you ask if I'm alright
I was searchin' for something
That I could give to get closer
To the flame that would surely burn me up
I finally figured it out now
I resign to your wishes
Throw my dreams in the fire
Send my heart back to sleep
And if that's all that there is
It really don't matter
Want it to be something so special
As usual
How can you remain so indifferent and beautiful
To watch me crawl
I resign to your wishes
Throw my keys in the stream and forget where I've been
And if that's all that there is
It really don't matter
Want it to be something so special
As usual
It all went wrong
How can you remain so indifferent and beautiful
To watch me crawl
Want it to be something so special
As usual
It's all gone wrong
How can you stand so unaffected above it all to watch
I’ll pick up the pieces of your heart
Like shells along the beach
Write your name in stars
Over deep blue tears of the Ocean
Ahhh
Would you like me to disappear
And paint a smile across the sky?
When will you start to realise?
If there’s any reason to be loved
You can’t explain it all so easily
Like a snowflake falling to the ground
A beat inside a heart
Where does it start?
Like a snowflake falling to the ground
You can’t hold on to it so easily
Something precious as the love we found
The reason why I try
Is in your eyes
In your eyes
How many souls in this city
Are wanderin’ lost without reason
A million lights shining in the darkness
I never knew you would be one
Can we escape from this party?
You whispered into my ear
Two souls of gold dancin’ in the darkness
And now it all becomes clear
You and me
We were lookin’ out
Waiting for the other one all along
You and me
Learning all about
A life together hand in hand
I never thought I was lucky
Until the day that I saw you
Another heart waiting in the darkness
Now I’d do anything for you
You and me
We were lookin’ out
Waiting for the other one all along
You and me
Learning all about
A life together hand in hand
We found out the reason
We found out
The reason to be
We reached out in darkness
I found you and then you found me
You and me
we were cryin’ out
Trying to find the answer to the question
You and me
couldn’t live without
This life together hand in hand
We found out the reason
We found out
The reason to be
We reached out in darkness
Hamburger Missionary
Sees a better life for me
Among the smiles and lazy eyes of the free
Down with the parasites
Up with the neon lights
In soda bars and fancy cars
Unite
Can you see
The setting sun?
Down on me
The prophet with a gun
Forget the money honey
We don’t think it’s funny and we’re gonna take you down
This is a new age dawning here’s your warning
Better run
We’re comin’ over the horizon like a spider gonna
Steal your crown
We won’t stop until we drop
We won’t sleep until we’re done
Hamburger Missionary
sees a better life for me
Shining towers and pretty flowers in the debris
Love is a funny thing
Cash is always King
Among the smiles and lazy eyes of the free
Can you see
The message in the stars?
Could it be
You don’t know who we are?
Forget the money honey
We don’t think it’s funny and we’re gonna take you down
This is a new age dawning here’s your warning
Better run
We’re comin’ over the horizon like a spider gonna
Steal your crown
We won’t stop until we drop
We won’t sleep until we’re done
Just imagine history
Hush hush hush
in the eyes of the free
Hush hush hush
Just imagine history
Hush hush hush
in the eyes of the free
Hush hush hush
Just imagine history
Just imagine history
Hush hush hush
in the eyes of the free
Hush hush hush
Just imagine history
Hush hush hush
in the eyes of the free
Hush hush hush

Turnin’ you on’s like turnin’ on T.V.
Here’s a concept
Like to swing it by you
Any questions
Wait until we’re finished please
All the kids are getting sick and tired
Hearing the same stories on the T.V.
There’s a beast inside of us
There’s a beast inside of us
Waiting for the bus to take you off to school
Get the feeling
The teachers think that you’re a fool
Always pushin’
Always tryin’ to force a point
So at break time
You go and cause a ruckus
There’s a beast inside of us
There’s a beast inside of us
And they all tell you
They love and trust you so
But no one notices
When you just up and go
The World’s so cruel but baby
You’ll get by
You’re no one’s fool
Don’t let them close your eyes
Why should you break your back for big brother
Why would you choose Judgment over liberty
Make your own rules forget all the others
After all this
Life ain’t very long and
There’s a beast inside of us
There’s a beast inside of us
And it don’t seem fair
The way it goes around
cos it’s the ones who care
That always let you down
And life’s so cruel
But baby you’ll get by
Forget the rules
Don’t let them close your eyes
In Love and Hate
They say that all is fair
And in the end
Come on Girl
Won’t you dry your tears
You walk around like some fallen angel
But I remember a time
When you used to smile and shine
Comb your hair
Put your lipstick on
Hold my hand now don’t be a stranger
You can borrow my shoes
We’ll have a real good time
Let’s take a drive in my little car
Yeah go for a ride
We’ll cause some trouble in this little town
There’s just one more thing
Better lose the boy
He makes you cry
He ain’t no soft toy
Better lose the Boy
I don’t know why
You still keep him hangin’ around
Pretty thing don’t it bring you down
The way he talks to you like a loser
You used to be so much fun
You used to be number one
I’m getting tired
Of watching you fall all over him
Better get wiser
He’ll only let you down
I know where he’s been
Better lose the boy
He makes you cry
He ain’t no soft toy
Better lose the Boy
I don’t know why
You still keep him hangin’ around
Better lose the boy
It’s high time
You found a new toy
Better lose the boy
Girl you’re so fly
Here’s a concept
Like to swing it by you
Any questions
