Turn Up the Sun

I carry madness
Everywhere I go
Over a border
And back to the snow

So if you see me
And I look right through
You shouldn't take it
As a reflection of you

Come on, Turn up the sun
Turn it up for everyone
Love one another
Love one another

The boys in the bubble
They wanna be free
And they got so blind
That they cannot see

But I'm not your keeper
I don't have the key
I got a piano
I can't find the C

Come on, Turn up the sun
Turn it up for everyone
Love one another
Love one another

Mucky Fingers

Verse:
C D
I know you think you deserve an explanation on the meanings of life
C D
But what you think that you heard slipped away at the back of your mind
You get your mucky fingers burned, you get your truth from the lies you were learned
And all your plastic believers will leave us and they won't return
Walk on

Verse:
And when you look in the mirror and you're tying up your buttons and bows
And as you face your disease you can squeeze into the emporor's clothes

You found your God in a paperback, you get your history from the Union Jack
And all your brothers and sisters are gone and they won't be back

Bridge:

Fed up with life in the city,
Cos all the phonies are blown at night
When i'm gone yeah you look like you miss me
So come along with me, but don't ask why

Chorus:

Cos it's alright
It's alright
It's alright
It's alright

Harmonica Solo

Chorus:

Cos it's alright
It's alright
It's alright
It's alright
Ok

Lyla

VERSE 1
Calling all the stars to fall
And catch the silver sunlight in your hands
Call for me to set me free
Lift me up and take me where I stand

VERSE 2
She believes in everything
And everyone and you and yours and mine
I waited for a thousand years
For you to come and blow me off my (mind)

PRE-CHORUS
(mind)

CHORUS
Hey Ly-la! the
Stars about to fall...So what d'you
Say Ly-la! the
World around us makes me feel so
Small Ly-la! if
You can't hear me call...then I can't
Say Ly-la!
Heaven help you catch me if I FALL!!

MIDTRO

VERSE 3
She's the queen of all I've seen
And every song and city far and near
Heaven help my mademoiselle
She rings the bell for all the world to (hear)

PRE-CHORUS
(Hear)

CHORUS
Hey Ly-la! the
Stars about to fall...So what d'you
Say Ly-la! the
World around us makes me feel so
Small Ly-la! if
You can't hear me call...then I can't
Say Ly-la!
Heaven help you catch me if I (FALL!!)

SOLO

CHORUS
Hey Ly-la! the
Stars about to fall...So what d'you

You can't hear me call...then I can't

Heaven help you catch me when I (FALL!!)

ENDING
Hey Ly-la! (repeatsFor a while)

The Importance of Being Idle

I sold my sole for the sond time
cos the man dont pay me
I begged my landlord for some more time
He said "son the bills are wating"
My best friend called me the other night
He say "man - you crazy"
My girlfriend told me to get a life
She said "boy - you lazy"

But i dont mind
as long as theres a bed beneath the stars that shine
Ill be fine
If you give me a minute
A mans got a limit
I cant get a life if my hearts not in it

I've lost my faith in the summer time
Cos it dont stop raning
The sky all day is as dark as night
But im not complaning
I begged my doctor for one more line
He say " son - words fail me
It aint your place to be kinning tim"
i guess im just lazy

But i dont mind
as long as theres a bed beneath the stars that shine
Ill be fine
If you give me a minute
A mans got a limit
I cant get a life if my hearts not in it

The Meaning of Soul

I'm gonna show you the meaning of soul
Taking a load tonight
Get outta my way
I'm about to do what you say
And that ain't enough alright

A Different breeze
I'm outta your league
I'm ten out of ten, all night
Get outta my way
I'm about to do what you say
And that ain't enough alright

Alright I see the love in your eyes
We'll be strong
All night
I'll be your light

I gotta show you the meaning of soul
Now we'll take it all up tonight
Get outta my way
I wanna do what you say
And that ain't enough alright

A Different breeze
I'm outta your league
I'm ten out of ten, all night
Get outta my way
I'm about to do what you say
And that ain't enough alright

All right I see the love in your eyes
And its all right, can I be your light

I gotta show you about the meaning of soul
Take it on up tonight

Guess God Thinks I'm Abel

I could be your lover
You could be you mind
We go on forever
Till the end of time

You could be my best friend
Stay up all night long
You could be my railroad
We'd go on and on

Lets get along
There's nothing here to do
Lets go find a rainbow
I could be wrong but what is there to do

Guess god thinks I'm Abel

You could be my enemy
I guess there's still time
I get round to loving you
Is that such a crime?

Lets get along
There's nothing here to do
Lets go find a rainbow
I could be wrong but what is there to do

Guess god thinks I'm Abel

No one can break us
No one could take us
If they tried

No one can break us
No one could take us
If they tried

Come on over
Let's make it tonight

Part of the Queue

Suddenly I found that I'd lost my way in the city
Streets in the thousands of colors all bleed into one
I fall down heaven won't help me
I call out no one would hear
All of a sudden I lost my out of the city

Stand tall
Stand proud
Every beginning is breaking its promise
I'm having trouble just finding some soul in this town

The name and the faces in the places they mean nothing to me
Cos all they can do to be part of the queue in this town
I fall down heaven wont help me
I call out no one will hear
People tomorrow they say "well I say mores the pity"

Stand tall
Stand proud
Every beginning has broken its promise
I'm having trouble just finding some soul in this town

Stand tall
Stand proud
Every beginning has broken its promise
I'm having trouble just finding my soul in this town
Finding my soul in this town
Keep on trying.........Keep on trying

Keep the Dream Alive

Four Seasons.. seconds flick and flash... I'm alone
A lonely scream provides the scene
It's no home
Every night I hear you scream,
But you don't say what you mean
This was my dream, but now my dream has flown

I'm at the crossroads waiting for a sign
My life is standing still, but I'm still alive
Every night I think I know
In the morning where did he go
The answers disappear when I open my eyes

I'm no stranger to this place
Where real life and dreams collide
And even though I fall from grace
I will keep the dream alive

A Bell Will Ring

A little space
A little time
See what it can do

A little faith
Peace of mind
See what passes through

The sun will shine on you again
A bell will ring inside your head
And all will be brand new

Come alive
Come on in
Something let you know

The worlds as wide
As your life is thin
So entertain your goals

The sun will shine on you again
A bell will ring inside your head
And all will be brand new
All will be brand new

I can tell you what you wanna hear
I've been there once before
You brought me through the empty nights
Sleepless on your floor

The sun will shine on you again
A bell will ring inside your head
And all will be brand new
All will be brand new

Let There Be Love

Who kicked a hole in the sky so the heavens would cry over me?
Who stole the soul from the sun in a world come undone at the seams?
Let there be love - Let there be love
I hope the weather is calm as you sail up your heavenly stream
Suspended clear in the sky are the words that we sing in our dreams
Let there be love x4.

Come on baby blue
Shake up your tired eyes, The world is waiting for you
May all your dreaming fill the empty sky

But if it makes you happy
Keep on clapping
Just remember I'll be by your side
And if you only go, it's gonna pass you by

Who kicked a hole in the sky so the heavens would cry over me?
Who stole the soul from the sun in a world come undone at the seams?
Let there be love x8

The Hindu Times

I get up - when I'm down
I can't swim - but my soul won't drown
I do believe - I got flare
I got speed and I walk on air

Cos God gimme soul in your rock'n'roll (babe)
Cos God gimme soul in your rock'n'roll (babe)

And I get so high I just can't feel it
And I get so high I just can't feel it

In and out my brain, runnin' through my veins
Cos you're my sunshine you're my rain

There's a light - that shines on
Shines - on - me - and it keeps me warm
It gimme peace - I must say
I can't sleep - cos the world won't wait

Force of Nature

One, two, three, four..
Yeah I feel like a force of nature
Could make you sing like a bird released
If what you seek is a wise mans treasure
You know it's buried beneath your feet

You know you look like a faded picture
I see the cracks freezing on your skin
And as the world slowly turns it hits ya
That the thieves of the night are coming tol take you in

You're smokin all my stash
But burning all my cash
I bet ya knew right away
It's all over town
As the suns going down
And the days of your easy life
I bet ya knew right away
Ya hope ya don't know where it's at
It's all over town
As the suns going down
And it's high time to pray

Yeah I feel like a force of nature
Could make you sing like a bird released
If what you seek is a wise mans treasure
You know it's buried beneath your feet

You know you look like a faded picture
I see the cracks frozen on your skin
And as the world slowly turns it hits ya
That the thieves of the night are coming to take you in

You're smokin all my stash
But burning all my cash
I bet ya knew right away
It's all over town
As the suns going down
And the days of your easy life
I bet ya knew right away
Ya hope ya don't know where it's at
It's all if you're beggin me please
And you're on your knees
And you pray

Hung in a Bad Place

I can go where I wanna
Be who I wanna be now
I can sleep under water
Never worried what I'm gonna dream now

Yeah the times come and gone
And I know where I'm from
And can be so...
It's hasta manana
You're on your own banana skin feet now

Yeah I've been hung in a bad place
Had no sun over my face
Yeah I've been hung in a bad place
For too long

I can say what I wanna
Feel how I wanna feel now
I can squeeze all the hours
I choose to devour with ease now

I can sing to the trees
Tarzan on harmonies for free yeah
You've been blocked and you're stalling
Nature is calling for me (you got me!)

Yeah I've been hung in a bad place
Had no sun over my face
Yeah I've been hung in a bad place
For too long

Stop Crying Your Heart Out

Hold up
Hold on
Don't be scared
You'll never change what's been and gone

May your smile (may your smile)
Shine on (shine on)
Don't be scared (don't be scared)
Your destiny may keep you warm

Cos all of the stars
Are fading away
Just try not to worry
You'll see them some day
Take what you need
And be on your way
And stop crying your heart out

Get up (get up)
Come on (come on)
Why're you scared? (I'm not scared)
You'll never change
What's been and gone

Cos all of the stars
Are fading away
Just try not to worry
You'll see them some day
Take what you need
And be on your way
And stop crying your heart out

Cos all of the stars
Are fading away
Just try not to worry
You'll see them some day
Take what you need
And be on your way
And stop crying your heart out

We're all of us stars
We're fading away
Just try not to worry
You'll see us some day
Just take what you need
And be on your way
And stop crying your heart out
Stop crying your heart out
Stop crying your heart out

Songbird

Talking to the songbird yesterday
Flew me to a past not far away
She's a little pirate in my mind
Singing songs of love to pass the time

Gonna write a song so she can see
Give her all the love she gives to me
Talk of better days that have yet to come
Never felt this love from anyone

She's not anyone

A man can never dream these kinds of things
Especially when she came and spread her wings
Whispered in my ear the things I'd like
Then she flew away into the night

Gonna write a song so she can see
Give her all the love she gives to me
Talk of better days that have yet to come
Never felt this love from anyone

She's not anyone

Little by Little

We the people fight for our existence
We don't claim to be perfect but we're free
We dream our dreams alone with no resistance
Faded like the stars we wish to be

Y'know I didn't mean... what I just said
But my God woke up on the wrong side of His bed
And it just don't matter now

Little by little we gave you everything you ever dreamed of
As little by little the wheels of your life have slowly fallen off
Little by little you have to live it all in all your life
And all the time I just ask myself why are you really here?

True perfection has to be imperfect
I know that that sounds foolish but it's true
The day has come and now you'll have to accept
The life inside your head we gave to you

(Probably) All in the Mind

Show me who you are
I'll show you what you love
I'll give you half the world if that's enough

Let me take you down
Let me hear you smile
Let me rest my head here for a while

In the end we'll leave it all behind
Because the life I think I'm trying to find
Is probably all in the mind

Show me who you are
I'll show you what you love
I'll give you all the world if that's enough

She Is Love

Oh when the sunshine beckons to ya
And your wings begin to unfold
The thoughts you bring and the songs you sing
Are gonna keep me from the cold

And if the sword is among ya
And it's words may wound my soul
You can fill me up with what you've got
Cos my heart's been keeping old

[chorus]
She is love
And her ways are high and steep
She is love
And I believe her when she speaks.
Love
And her ways are high and steep
She is love
And I believe, I do believe her when she speaks.

You're in all my thoughts of passion
And the dreams of my delight
Whatever stirs my mortal frame
Will you keep it warm at night

I don't know where you come from
No I haven't got a clue
All I know is I'm in love
With someone who loves me too.

Born on a Different Cloud

Born on a different cloud
From the ones that have burst round town
It's no surprise to me
That yer classless, clever and free...

Loaded just like the gun
You're the hero that's still unsung
Living on borrowed time
You're my sun and you're gonna shine

Talking to myself again
This time I think I'm getting through
It's funny how you think
It's funny when you do

Lonely soul
Busy working overtime
Nothing ever gets done
Specially when your hands are tied

Lonely soul
Baking up your mother's pride
Nothing ever gets done
Not until your war's won

Better Man

I wanna love you
I wanna be a better man
I don't wanna hurt you
I just wanna see what's in you hand

But all right now, yeah, yeah
Well all right now, yeah, yeah

And I know you'll understand
And I know you'll understand

I wanna love you
I wanna be a better man
I don't wanna hurt you
I just wanna see what's in you hand

But all right now, yeah, yeah
Well all right now, yeah, yeah

And I know you'll understand
And I know you'll understand

I wanna be a better man

Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants [2000]

2005-10-12T09:16:00.000-07:00

Fuckin' In The Bushes

We put this festival on, you bastards
With all our love
We worked around a year for you pigs
And you wanna break our walls down, and you wanna destroy us?
Well you go to Hell!

(Kids running around places, fucking in the bushes)
(Kids running around places, fucking in the bushes)

I love it! Move everybody here
Yes, all are welcome, yes indeed
I love them:
Fun, life, nice, youth, beautiful...I'm all for it

Go Let It Out

Paint no illusion, try to click with what you got
Taste every potion, and if you like yourself a lot
Go let it out, go let it in, go let it out

Life is precocious in the most peculiar way
Sister psychosis, she don't got a lot to say
She go let it out, she go let it in, she go let it out
She go let it out, she go let it in, she go let it out

Is it any wonder why princes and kings
Are clowns that caper in their sawdust rings?
Ordinary people that are like you and me
We're the keepers of their destiny
We're the keepers of their destiny

I'm goin' leavin' this city, I'm goin' drivin' out of town
And you're coming with me, the right time is always now!
To go let it out, go let it in, go let it out
To go let it out, go let it in, go let it out

Is it any wonder why princes and kings
Are clowns that caper in their sawdust rings?
Ordinary people that are like you and me
We're the builders of their destiny
We're the builders of their destiny
We're the builders of their destiny
We're the builders of their destiny

Go let it out - don't let it in
Go let it out - go let it in
Go let it out - don't let it in
Go let it out - don't let it in, don't let it in

Who Feels Love?

Found what I've lost inside
My spirit has been purified
Take a thorn from my pride
And hand in hand we'll take a walk outside

Thank you for the sun, the one that shines on everyone
Who feels love
Now there's a million years between my fantasies and fears
I feel love

I'm leaving all that I see
Now all my emotions fill the air I breathe

Now you understand that this is not the promised land
They spoke of
There's nothing more to be if you can be the remedy
Who heals love

I thank you for the sun, the one that shines on everyone
Who feels love
Now there's a million years between my fantasies and fears
I feel love
I Thank you for the sun, the one that shines on everyone
Who feels love
Now there's a million years between my fantasies and fears
I feel love

Put Yer Money Where Yer Mouth Is

Put yer money where yer mouth is
Yer mama sez that you was real
Put yer money where yer mouth is
Yer mama sez that you was real

Ready or not, come what may
Yer bets are going down for judgement day
So put yer money in yer mouth and yer hands right upon the wheel

Put yer money where yer mouth is
Yer papa sez that you was real
Put yer money where yer mouth is
Yer papa sez that you was real

Ready or not, come what may
You betcher going down on judgement day
So put yer money in yer mouth and yer hands right upon the wheel

Put yer money where yer mouth is
Yer mama sez that you was real
Put yer money where yer mouth is
Yer mama sez that you was real

Ready or not, come what may
Yer bets are going down for judgement day
So put yer money in yer mouth and yer hands right upon the wheel

Watch yer mouth
Hey watch yer mouth
Watch yer mouth
Hey watch yer mouth - Hey!

Little James

Little James, we're all the same
Always seem to look to us
We weren't meant to be grown ups
Thank you for your smile
You make it all worthwhile to us

Live for your toys eventhough they make
Have you ever played with plasticine
Even tried the trampoline
Thank you for your smile
You make it all worthwhile to us

I'm singing this song for you and your mum and that's all
It won't be long before everyone is gone

Sailed out to sea, your mum you and me
You swam the oceans like a child
Life around us was so wild
Thank you for your smile
You make it all worthwhile to us

I'm singing this song for you and your mum and that's all
It won't be long before everyone is gone

Gas Panic!

What tongueless ghost of sin crept through my curtains?
Sailing on a sea of sweat on a stormy night
I think he don't got a name but I can't be certain
And in me he starts to confide

That my family don't seem so familiar
And my enemies all know my name
And if you hear me tap on your window
You better get on your knees and pray - Panic is on the way...

My pulse pumps out a beat to the ghost dancer
My eyes are dead and my throat's like a black hole
And if there's a God, would he give another chancer?
An hour to sing for his soul

Cos my family don't seem so familiar
And my enemies all know my name
And when you hear me tap on your window
You better get on your knees and pray - Panic is on the way...

That my family don't seem so familiar
And my enemies all know my name
And when you hear me tap on your window
Then you get on your knees and you better pray

Cos my family don't seem so familiar
And my enemies all know my name
And when you hear me tap on your window
You better get on your knees and pray - Panic is on the way...

Panic is on the way

Where Did It All Go Wrong?

You know that feeling you get?
You feel you're older than time
You ain't exactly sure
If you've been away awhile

Do you keep the receipts
For the friends that you buy?
And ain't it bittersweet?
You were only just getting by

And I hope you know that it won't let go
It sticks around with you until the day you die
And I hope you know that it's touch and go
I hope the tears don't stain the world that waits outside
Where did it all go wrong?

And until you've repaid
The dreams you bought for your lies
You'll be cast away
Alone under stormy skies
Alone under stormy skies

And I hope you know that it won't let go
It sticks around with you until the day you die
And I hope you know that it's touch and go
I hope the tears don't stain the world that waits outside
Where did it all go wrong?

And I hope you know that it won't let go
It sticks around with you until the day you die
And I hope you know that it's touch and go
I hope the tears don't stain the world that waits outside

And I hope you know that it won't let go
It sticks around with you until the day you die
And I hope you know that it's touch and go
I hope the tears don't stain the world that waits outside
Where did it all go wrong?

Sunday Morning Call

Here's another sunday morning call
You hear your head a-bangin' on the door
Slip your shoes on and then out you crawl
Into a day that couldn't give you more
But what for?

And in your head do you feel
What you're not supposed to feel?
And you take what you want
But you don't get it for free
You need more time
Cos your thoughts and words won't last forever more
But I'm not sure if it'll ever work out right

But it's ok...it's all right

When you're lonely and you start to hear
The little voices in your head at night
You will only sniff away the tears
And you can dance until the morning light
At what price?

And in your head do you feel
What you're not supposed to feel?
And you take what you want
But you don't get it for free
You need more time
Cos your thoughts and words won't last forever more
But I'm not sure if it'll ever work out right

But it's ok...it's all right

And in your head do you feel
What you're not supposed to feel?
And you take what you want
But you don't get hope for free
You need more time
Cos your thoughts and words won't last forever more
But I'm not sure if it'll ever ever ever work out right
Will it ever ever ever work out right?
Will it ever ever ever work out right?

I Can See A Liar

Baby the time is right to tell it all like it is
Now that I feel God-like, there's nothing that can't be kissed
The name of a lonely soul is scratched into my brain
He thought he was King Creole, until he found out
Until he found out

He sits upon a throne
He lives a sleazy lie
But he's all alone again, again

I can see a liar sitting by the fire
Trouble in his heart, laughing at the thought
Coming as he goes into overdose
I wonder what he thinks of me?

Baby the time is right to tell it all like it is
Now that I feel God-like, there's nothing that can't be kissed

He sits upon a throne
He lives a sleazy lie
But he's all alone again, again

I can see a liar sitting by the fire
Trouble in his heart, laughing at the thought
Coming as he goes into overdose
I wonder what he thinks of me?

Baby you're a liar sitting by the fire
Trouble in your heart, laughing at the thought
Oh baby you're a liar sitting by the fire
Trouble in your heart, laughing at the thought
Coming as you go into overdose
I wonder what you think of me?

Roll It Over

I can give a hundred million reasons
To build a barricade
I blame it on the changing of the seasons
The thoughts that I conveyed

Does it make it all right?
Does it make it all right?

To roll it over my soul
Leave me here
Roll it over my soul
Leave me here

Look around at all the plastic people
Who live without a care
Try to sit with me around my table
But never bring a chair

Does it make it all right?
It doesn't it make it all right

To roll it over my soul
Leave me here
Roll it over my soul
Leave me here

Roll it over my soul
And leave me here
Roll it over my soul
And leave me here
Roll it over my soul
And leave me here
Roll it over my soul
And leave me here

The Masterplan [1998]

Acquiesce

I don't know what it is
That makes me feel alive
I don't know how to wake
The things that sleep inside
I only wanna see the light
That shines behind your eyes

I hope that I can say
The things I wish I'd said
To sing my soul to sleep
And take me back to bed
You want to be alone
When we could be alive instead

Because we need each other
We believe in one another
And I know we're going to uncover
What's sleepin' in our soul
Because we need each other
We believe in one another
(and) I know we're going to uncover
What's sleepin' in our soul
What's sleepin' in our soul

There are many things
That I would like to know
And there are many places
That I wish to go
But everything's depending
On the way the wind may blow
I don't know what it is
That makes me feel alive
I don't know how to wake
The things that sleep inside
I only wanna see the light
That shines behind your eyes

Because we need each other
We believe in one another
And I know we're going to uncover
What's sleepin' in our soul
Because we need each other
We believe in one another
(and) I know we're going to uncover
What's sleepin' in our soul
What's sleepin' in our soul

What's sleepin' in our soul
What's sleepin' in our soul
'cause we believe
'cause we believe
Yeah, we believe
'cause we believe
'cause we believe
'cause we believe
Because we need
Because we need

Underneath The Sky

Underneath the sky of red
There's a story-teller sleeping alone
He has no face and he has no name
And his where abouts is sort of unknown

All he needs is his life in a suitcase
It belongs to a friend of a friend
And as we drink to ourselves we'll amuse ourselves
Underneath the sky
Underneath the sky again
Underneath the sky again

So wish me away to an unknown place
And I'm livin in a land with no name
I'll be making a start with a brand new harp
Stop me making sense once again

All we need is our lives in a suitcase
They belong to a friend of a friend
And as we drink to ourselves we'll amuse ourselves
Underneath the sky
Underneath the sky again
Underneath the sky again

All we need is our lives in a suitcase
They belong to a friend of a friend
And as we drink to ourselves we'll amuse ourselves
Underneath the sky
Underneath the sky again
Underneath the sky again
Underneath the sky again
Underneath the sky again
Underneath the sky again
Again
Again
Again
Underneath the sky again

Talk Tonight

Sittin' on my own
Chewin' on a bone
A thousand million
Miles from home
When something hit me
Somewhere right between the eyes

Sleepin' on a plane
You know you can't complain
You took your last chance
Once again
I landed, stranded
Hardly even knew your name

I wanna talk tonight
Until the mornin' light
'bout how you saved my life
You and me see how we are
You and me see how we are

All your dreams are made
Of strawberry lemonade
And you make sure
I eat today
You take me walking
To where you played
When you were young

I'll never say that i
Won't ever make you cry
And this I'll say
I don't know why
I know I'm leavin'
But I'll be back another day

I wanna talk tonight
Until the mornin' light
'bout how you saved my life
(you saved my life)
I wanna talk tonight
(I wanna talk tonight)
'bout how you saved my life
(I wanna talk tonight)
'bout how you saved my life
(I wanna talk tonight)
'bout how you saved my life
(I wanna talk tonight)
'bout how you saved my life

I wanna talk tonight

Going Nowhere

I hate the way that you've taken back
Everything you've given to me
And the way that you'd always say
It's nothing to do with me
Different versions of many men
Come before you came
All their questions was similar
The answers just the same

I could do with a motor car
Maybe a jaguar maybe a plane or a day of fame
I wanna be a millionaire so can you take me there
Wanna be wild cos my life's so tame
Here am i, going nowhere on a train
Here am i, growing older in the rain

Fade Away

When I was young
I thought I had my own key
I knew exactly what I wanted to be
Now I'm sure
You've boarded up every door

Lived in a bubble
Days were never ending
Was not concerned
About what life was sending
Fantasy was real
Now I know much
About the way I feel

I'll paint you the picture
'cause I don't think you live round here no more
I've never even seen
The key to the door
We only get what we will settle for

While we're living
The dreams we have as children
Fade away
While we're living
The dreams we have as children
Fade away
While we're living
The dreams we have as children
Fade away
While we're living
The dreams we have as children
Fade away, away, away
They fade away, away, away

Now my life has turned
Another corner
I think it's only best
That I should warn you
Dream it while you can
Maybe someday
I'll make you understand

I'll paint you the picture
'cause I don't think you live round here no more
I've never even seen
The key to the door
We only get what we will settle for

While we're living
The dreams we have as children
Fade away
While we're living
The dreams we have as children
Fade away
While we're living
The dreams we have as children
Fade away
While we're living
The dreams we have as children
Fade away, away, away
They fade away, away, away
They fade away, away, away
Fade away, away, away

The Swamp Song

This song is instrumental.

I Am The Walrus (Live)

I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together
See how they run Iike pigs from a gun, see how they fly, I'm crying

Sitting on a cornflake, waiting for the van to come
Corporation tee-shirt, stupid bloody Tuesday
Man, You beer naughty boy, you let your face grow long
I am the eggman, oh they are the eggmen, oh I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob

Mister city policeman sitting
Pretty little policemen in a row
See how they fly like Lucy in the sky, see how they run
I'm crying, I'm crying, I'm crying, I'm crying

Yellow matter custard, dripping from a dead dog's eye
Crabalocker fishwife, pornographic priestess
Boy you been a naughty girl you let your knickers down
I am the eggman, oh they are the eggmen, oh I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob

Sitting in an English garden waiting for the sun
If the sun don't come, you get a tan from standing in the English rain
I am the eggman, oh they are the eggmen, oh I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob

Expert textpert choking smokers, don't you think the joker laughs at you?
See how they smile like pigs in a sty, see how they snied, I'm crying

Semolina pilchards, climbing up the Eiffel Tower
Elementary penguin singing Hare Krishna man, you should have seen them kicking Edgar Allan Poe
I am the eggman, oh they are the eggmen, oh I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob
G'goo goo g'joob, goo goo g'joob, g'goo goo g'joob, goo

Listen Up

Listen up
What's the time said today
I'm gonna speak my mind
Take me up
To the top of the world
I wanna see my crime

Day by day
There's a man in a suit
Who's gonna make you pay
For the thoughts
That you think and the words
They won't let you say

One fine day
Gonna leave you all behind
It wouldn't be so bad
If I had more time

Sailing down a river alone
I've been trying to find
My way back home
But I don't believe in magic
Life is automatic but I don't mind being on my own
No, I don't mind being on my own

(repeat from top)

Sailing down a river alone
I've been trying to find
My way back home
But I don't believe in magic
Life is automatic
But I don't mind being on my own
I said that I don't mind
Being on my own
No, I don't mind being on my own
I said I don't mind being on my own

Rockin' Chair

I'm older than I wish to be
This town holds no more for me
All my life I try to find another way
I don't care for your attitude
You bring me down I think you're rude
All my life I try to make a better day

It's hard enough being alone
Sitting here by the phone
Waiting for my memories
To come and play

It's hard enough sitting there
Rockin' in your rockin' chair
It's all too much for me to take
When you're not there

It's hard enough being alone
Sitting here by the phone
Waiting for my memories
To come and play

It's hard enough sitting there
Rockin' in your rockin' chair
It's all too much for me to take
When you're not there

I'm older than I wish to be
This town holds no more for me
All my life I try to find another way
I don't care for your attitude
You bring me down I think you're rude
All my life I try to make a better day

It's hard enough being alone
Sitting here by the phone
Waiting for my memories
To come and play

It's hard enough sitting there
Rockin' in your rockin' chair
It's all too much for me to take
When you're not there

Half The World Away

I would like to leave this city
This old town don't smell too pretty and
I can feel the warning signs running around my mind
And when I leave this island I'll book myself into a soul asylum
Cos I can feel the warning signs running around my mind

So here I go, I'm still scratching around the same old hole
My body feels young but my mind is very old
So what do you say?
You can give me the dreams that are mine anyway
You're half the world away
Half the world away
Half the world away
I've been lost, I've been found but I don't feel down.

And when I leave this planet
You know I'd stay but I just can't stand it and
I can feel the warning signs running around my mind
And if I could leave this spirit I'd find me a hole and I'll live in it 'cos
I can feel the warning signs running around my mind

So here I go still scratching around in the same old hole
My body feels young but my mind if very old
So what do you say?
You can give me the dreams that are mine anyway
You're half the world away
Half the world away
Half the world away
I've been lost, I've been found but I don't feel down
No I don't feel down
No I don't feel down

I don't feel down
I don't feel down
I don't feel down
I don't feel down

(It's Good) To Be Free

Head like a rock spinning round and round
I found it in a hole sitting upside down
You point the finger at me but I don't believe
Paint me a wish on a velvet sky
You demand the answers but I don't know why in my mind
There is no time

But the little things they make me so happy
All I want to do is live by the sea
Little things they make me so happy
But it's good it's good it's good to be free

So what would you say if I said to you
It's not in what you say it's in what you do
You point the finger at me but I don't believe
Bring it on home to where we found
My head like a rock sitting upside down
In my mind there is no time

But the little things they make me so happy
All I want to do is live by the sea
Little things they make me so happy
But it's good it's good it's good to be free

Stay Young

One way out is all you're ever gonna get
From those who'll hand it out don't never let it upset you
Cos they'll put words into our mouths they're making us feel so ashamed

Making us take the blame
Making us cold in the night
Making us question my heart and soul
And I think that it's not quite right

Hey! stay young and invincible
Cos we know just what we are
And come what may we're unstoppable
Cos we know just what we are

Feed your head with all the things you need
When you're hungry
Stay in bed and sleep all day as long as it's sunday
Cos they'll put words into your mouth they're making you feel so ashamed

Headshrinker

I know a girl who's lost and lonely
Sits by the phone on her own
But the phone don't ring
And the birds don't sing in her tree
She lost herself in a haze of pity
And doesn't know where to run
Needs a headshrinker now
And I think it's time we had some fun

Lost in a fog
Up a tree like a dog
And I'm out of here
I got no name
And I feel no shame
And I got no fear
And I bow down
To the tears of a clown
Whatever's going down
Is coming around
I hope you don't regret today
For the rest of your lives

For the rest of your lives
For the rest of your lives
For the rest of your lives

The Masterplan

Take the time to make some sense
Of what you want to say
And cast your words away upon the waves
Bring them back with acquiesce
On a ship of hope today
And as they land upon the shore
Tell them not to fear no more
Say it loud and sing it proud
And they...

Will dance if they want to dance
Please brother take a chance
You know they're gonna go
Which way they wanna go
All we know is that we don't know --
What is gonna be
Please brother let it be
Life on the other hand won't let you understand
Why we're all part of the masterplan

I'm not saying right is wrong
It's up to us to make
The best of all things that come our way
And all the things that came have past
The answer's in the looking glass
There's four and twenty million doors
Down life's endless corridor
Say it loud and sing it proud
And they...

Will dance if they want to dance
Please brother take a chance
You know they're gonna go
Which way they wanna go
All we know is that we don't know --
What is gonna be
Please brother let it be
Life on the other hand won't let you understand
Why we're all part of the masterpla

D'You Know What I Mean?

Back into the hole where I was born
The sun in the sky never raised an eye to me
There's blood on the tracks, and it must be mine
The fool on the hill, and I feel fine
Don't look back cos you know what you might see

Look into the wall of my mind's eye
I think I know, but I don't know why
The questions are the answers you might need
Coming in a mess, going out in style
I ain't good-looking, but I'm someone's child
No-one can give me the air that's mine to breathe

I met my maker, I made him cry
And on my shoulder he asked me why
His people won't fly through the storm,
I said "Listen up man, they don't even know you're born"

All my people right here, right now,
D'You Know What I Mean? Yeah Yeah
All my people right here, right now,

Yeah, Yeah
Yeah, Yeah

I don't really care for what you believe
So open up your fist or you won't receive
The thoughts and the words of every man you'll need
Get up off the floor and believe in life
No-one's ever gonna ever ask you twice
Get on the bus and bring it on home to me

I met my maker, I made him cry
And on my shoulder he asked me why
His people won't fly through the storm
I said "Listen up man, they don't even know you're born"

All my people right here, right now,
They Know What I Mean. Yeah Yeah

My Big Mouth

But no one's saying nothing
Is the sound so very loud
That no one can hear?
I've got something in my shoes
That's keeping me from walking
Down the long and winding road
Back home to you
A Rolling Stone cease to be
And swear she's never sleeping with the enemy
Where angels fly
You won't play
So guess who's gonna take the blame
For my big mouth
And my big name
Who'll put on my shoes while I'm walking
Slowly down the hall of fame?
Into my big mouth
You can fly a plane
Who'll put on my shoes while I'm walking
Slowly down the hall of fame?

I ain't never spoke to god
And I have never been to heaven
I've seen machine gunnings away
Even though the man was given
And as you look into the eye
Of a bloody cold assassin
Only then you'll realize
This is what you call redemption
When all your songs cease to be
That's what you get for sleeping with the enemy
Where angels fly
You won't play
So guess who's gonna take the blame
For my big mouth
And my big name
Who'll put on my shoes while I'm walking
Slowly down the hall of fame?
Into my big mouth
You can fly a plane
Who'll put on my shoes while I'm walking
Slowly down the hall of fame?
Slowly down the hall of fame?
Slowly down the hall of fame?

When all your songs cease to be
That's what you get for sleeping with the enemy
Where angels fly
You won't play
So guess who's gonna take the blame
For my big mouth
And my big name
Who'll put on my shoes while I'm walking
Slowly down the hall of fame?
Into my big mouth
You can fly a plane
Who'll put on my shoes while I'm walking
Slowly down the hall of fame?
Slowly down the hall of fame?
Slowly down the hall of fame?
Slowly down the hall of fame?
Slowly down the hall of fame?
Slowly down the hall of fame?
Slowly down the hall of fame?
Slowly down the hall of fame?

Magic Pie

An extraordinary guy can never have an ordinary day,
He might live a long goodbye,
but that is not for me to say,

I dig his friends,
I dig his shoes,
But he is just a child with nothing to lose,
but his mind, his mind.

They are sleeping while they dream,
but then they want to be adored,

They who don't say what they mean,
Will live and die by their own sword.

I dig their friends,
I dig their shoes,
But they are like a child with nothing to lose,
But their minds, yeah their minds.

I'll have my way,
In my own time,
I'll have my say,

My star will shine.

I've got my Magic Pie.

Think of me,

years,

Many minds to educate, and people who have disappeared,

To dig my friends,

I am like a child with nothing to lose,

But my mind, yeah my mind,

In our own time,

Before my heart starts to burn.

Don't you know the cold and wind and rain don't know,

They're trying hard to put me in my place,
And that is why I've gotta keep running,
The future is mine and its no disgrace
Cos in the end the past means nothing.

You tell me I'm free then you tie me down,
And from my chains I think its a pity,
What did it cost you to wear my crown,
You dont like me why don't you admit it.

I feel a little down today,
And I ain't got much to say,
But your gonna miss me when I'm not there
You know I dont care,

Life is hit and miss,
And this, I Hope, I Think, I Know,

If I ever hear the names, you call,
And if I stumble catch me when I fall,
Cos baby after all,
You'll never forget my name,
You'll never forget my name.

And that is why I've gotta keep running,

Don't Go Away

Cold and frosty morning,
There's not a lot to say,
About the things caught in my mind,
And as the day was dawning,
My plane flew away,
With all the things caught in my mind,

I don't wanna be there when your, coming down,
I don't wanna be there when you hit the ground,

So dont go away,
Say what you say,
Say that you'll stay,
Forever and a day,
In the time of my life,
Cos I need more time,
Yes I need more time just to make things right

Damn my situation and the games I have to play,
With all the things caught in my mind,
Damn my education I can't find the words to say,
With all the things caught in my mind,
I don't wanna be there when your, coming down,
I don't wanna be there when you hit the ground,

So dont go away,
Say what you say,
Say that you'll stay,
Forever and a day,
In the time of my life,
Cos I need more time,
Yes I need more time just to make things right.

Me and you whats going on,
All we seem to know is how to show,
The feelings that I wrote.

So dont go away,

Be Here Now

Wash your face in the morning sun,
Flash your pen at the song that I'm singing,
Touchdown base living on the run,
I make no sweat at the hole that you're digging.

Wrap up cold when it's warm outside,
Your shit jokes remind me of Digsy's,
Be my magic carpet ride,
Fly me down to capital city in the sun.

Kicking up a storm,
From the day that I was born,
Sing a song to me,
One from Let It Be,
Open up your eyes get a grip on yourself inside.!

All Around The World

It's a bit early in the midnight hour for me,
To go through all the things that I want to be,
I don't believe in everything I see,
Y'know I'm blind so why d'you disagree

Take me away, cos I just dont want to stay,
And the lies you make me say are getting deeper every day,

These are crazy days but they make me shine,
Time keeps rolling by.

You never move you never make a sound,
When you gonna swin with the ridges that you found,
If you're lost at sea well I hope that you drown,

Take me away, cos I just dont want to stay,
And the lies you make me say are getting deeper every day,

These are crazy days but they make me shine,
Time keeps rolling by.

It's Getting Better, Man

Shout it from the rooftops that you're here
Even if it means nothing
Make us realize all that we're here
Do it in a wise teaching
Wishing on a wave that soon appears
Something about a life teaches
You to build a castle in the sun

Maybe the songs I sing are wrong
Maybe the dreams I dream are gone
Bring it on home and it won't be long
It's getting better, man
And what was that you said to me?
Just say the word and I'll be free
And while the stars are shining bright
It's getting better, man
And crashing in upon a wave
It's coming up beyond the grave
I'll light a fire in the sky
It's getting better, man

Build something
Build a better place and call it home
Even if it means nothing
You'll never ever feel that you're alone

Maybe the songs I sing are wrong
Maybe the dreams I dream are gone
Bring it on home and it won't be long
It's getting better, man
And what was that you said to me?
Just say the word and I'll be free
And while the stars are shining bright
It's getting better, man
And crashing in upon a wave
It's coming up beyond the grave
I'll light a fire in the sky
It's getting better, man
It's getting better, man

And what was that you said to me?
Just say the word and I'll be free
And while the stars are shining bright
It's getting better, man
And crashing in upon a wave
It's coming up beyond the grave
I'll build a fire in the sky
It's getting better, man
It's getting better, man
It's getting better, man
It's getting better, man
It's getting better, man
It's getting better, man
It's getting better, man
It's getting better, man
It's getting better, man

Roll With It

You gotta roll with it
You gotta take your time
You gotta say what you say
Don't let anybody get in your way
'Cuz it's all too much
For me to take

Don't ever stand aside
Don't ever be denied
You ought to be who you be
If you're coming with me
I think I've got a feeling I've lost inside
I think I'm gonna take me away and hide
I'm thinking things that I just can't abide

I know the roads on which your life will drive
I find the key that lets you slip inside
Kiss the girl she's not behind the door
D'you know I think I recognize your face
But I've never seen you before

You gotta roll with it
You gotta take your time
You gotta say what you say
Don't let anybody get in your way
'Cuz it's all too much
For me to take

Wonderwall

Today is gonna be the day that they're gonna throw it back to you
By now you shoulda somehow realized what you gotta do
I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now

Back beat, the word is on the street that the fire in your heart is out
I'm sure you've heard it all before but you never really had a doubt
I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now

And all the roads we have to walk are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
There are many things that I would like to say to you
But I don't know how

Because maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all
You're my wonderwall

Today was gonna be the day but they'll never throw it back to you
By now you shoulda somehow realized what you're not to do
I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now

And all the roads that lead you there were winding
And all the lights that light the way are blinding
There are many things that I would like to say to you
But I don't know how

I said maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all
You're my wonderwall

Don't Look Back in Anger

Slip inside the eye of your mind
Don't you know you might find
A better place to play

You said that you've never been (sounds like "bean" in order to rhyme w/"seen")
But all the things that you've seen
They slowly fade away

So I'll start a revolution from my bed
'Cuz you said the brains I had went to my head
Step outside, summertime's in bloom
Stand up beside the fireplace
Take that look from off your face
You ain't ever gonna burn my heart out

And so, Sally can wait
She knows it's too late as we're walking on by
Her soul slides away
But don't look back in anger
I heard you say

Take me to the place where you go
Where nobody knows
If it's not our day

Please don't put your life in the hands
Of a rock and roll band
[And? You'll?] throw it all away

I'm gonna start a revolution from my bed
'Cuz you said the brains I had went to my head
Step outside, 'cuz summertime's in bloom
Stand up beside the fireplace
Take that look from off your face
'Cuz you ain't ever gonna burn my heart out

And so, Sally can wait
She knows it's too late as she's walking on by
My soul slides away
But don't look back in anger
I heard you say

(guitar solo)

So, Sally can wait
She knows it's too late as we're walking on by
Her soul slides away
But don't look back in anger
I heard you say

So, Sally can wait
She knows it's too late as she's walking on by
My soul slides away
But don't look back in anger
Don't look back in anger

At least not today.

Hey Now!

I used to ride with my soul by the side of the road
Just as the sky turned black
I took a walk with my [things? fangs? fame?] down Memory Lane
I never did find my way back

You know that I've got to say it
I'm slipping away
And what will it hold for me?
What am I gonna do?
I'm looking at you
You're standing [in awe of??] me

I thought that I heard someone say now,
"There's no time for running away now."
Hey now
Hey now

Feel no shame
'Cuz time's no chain
Feel no shame

The first thing I saw as I walked through the door
Was a sign on the wall that read
It said: "You might never know that I want you to know
What's written inside of your head."

And time as it stands won't be held in my hands
Or living inside of my skin
And as you fell from the sky I asked myself why
Can I never let anyone in?

I thought that I heard someone say now,
"There's no time for running away now."
Hey now
Hey now

Feel no shame
'Cuz time's no chain
Feel no shame

(Your standard, everyday guitar solo)

Feel no shame
'Cuz time's no chain
Feel no shame

I used to ride with my soul by the side of the road
Just as the sky turned black
I took a walk with my [things? fangs? fame?] down Memory Lane
I never did find my way back

You know that I've got to say it
I'm slipping away
And what will it hold for me?
What am I gonna do?
I'm looking at you
You're standing [in awe of??] me

I thought that I heard someone say now,
"There's no time for running away now."
Hey now <--- 10 times

Feel no shame

Feel no shame

Some Might Say

Some might say
That sunshine follows thunder
Go and tell it to the man it cannot shine

Some might say
That we should never ponder on our thoughts today cause they hold sway over time
On a [box??] to take our same old sways over time

Some might say
That we will find a brighter day
Some might say
We will find a brighter day
Yeah-ah!

'Cuz I've been standing at the station
In need of education in the rain
You made no preparation
For my reputation once again
Your sink is full of fishes
She's got dirty dishes on the brain
And it was overflowing gently
But it's all elementary my friend

(cool guitar solo)

Some might say
They don't believe in heaven
Go and tell to the man who lives in hell

Some might say
You get what you've been given
If you don't get yours in one get mine as well

'Cuz some might say
We will find a brighter day
Some might say
We will find a brighter day (in a year)
Yeah-ah

'Cuz I've been standing at the station
In need of education in the rain
You made no preparation
For my reputation once again
Your sink is full of fishes
She's got dirty dishes on the brain
My dog's been itching
Itching in the kitchen once again

Some might say (some might say) <-- Twice
You know what some might say (you know what some might say) <-- 8 times

Cast No Shadow

Here's a thought for every man who tries to understand
What is in his hands (what's in his hands)
He walks along the open road of love and life
To find it if he can (to find it if he can)

Bound with all the weight of all the words he tried to say
Chained to all the places that he never wished to stay
Bound with all the weight of all the words he tried to say
As he faced the sun he cast no shadow
(Haaaaaaaa-ah)

As they took his soul they stole his pride (priiiii-hide) <-- 3 times
As he faced the sun he cast no shadow

(Haaaaaaaa-ah)
(Haaaaaaaa-ah)
(Haaaaaaaa-ah)

Here's a thought for every man who tries to understand

Chained to all the places that he never wished to stay
Bound with all the weight of all the words he tried to say

She's Electric

She's electric
She's in a family full of eccentrics
She's done things I've never expected
And I need more time

She's got a sister
And God only knows how I've missed her
And on the palm of her hand is a blister
And I need more time

And I want you to know
I've got my mind {made up now/mind made up now}
But I need more time
And I want you to say
Do you know what {I'm saying/what I'm saying}
But I need more
{'Cuz I'll be you and you'll be me/tiiiiii-iiime}
{There's lots and lots for us to see/ahhhhh-ahhhhh}
{Lots and lots for us to do/ahhhhh-ahhhhh}
{She is electric/ahhhhh}
{Can I be electric too?/ahhhhh}

(A real "feel good" bouncy guitar solo)

She's got a brother (a brother)
We don't get on with one another
But I quite fancy her mother
And I think that she likes me

She's got a cousin (a cousin)
In fact she's got a dozen (a dozen)
She's got one in the oven (oven)
But it's nothing to do with me

And I want you to know
I've got my mind {made up now/mind made up now}
But I need more time
And I want you to say
Do you know what {I'm saying/what I'm saying}
But I need more
{'Cuz I'll be you and you'll be me/tiiiiii-iiime}
{There's lots and lots for us to see/ahhhhh-ahhhhh}
{There's lots and lots for us to do/ahhhhh-ahhhhh}
{She is electric/ahhhhh}
{Can I be electric too?/ahhhhh}
Can I be electric too? <-- 3 times

Morning Glory

(song begins with helicopter sound FX)
(radio conversation between a man and a woman mumbled in the background
but I can't understand what they're saying)
(FX and radio fade out to background music, then the lyrics begin)

All your dreams are made
When you're chained to the mirror and the razor blade
Today's the day that all the world will see

Another sunny afternoon
Walking to the sound of my favorite tune
Tomorrow never knows what it doesn't know too soon

Need a little time to wake up
Need a little time to wake up wake up
Need a little time to wake up
Need a little time to rest your mind
You know you should so I guess you might as well

What's the story morning glory?
Well
You need a little time to wake up wake up
Well
What's the story morning glory?
Well
Need a little time to wake up wake up

The Swamp Song (Version 2)

Champagne Supernova

How many special people change?
How many lives are living strange?
Where were you while we were getting high?

Slowly walking down the hall
Faster than a cannonball
Where were you while we were getting high?

Someday you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova in the sky
Someday you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova
A champagne supernova in the sky

Wake up the dawn and ask her why
I dream a dream she never dies
Wipe that tear away now from your eye

Slowly walking down the hall
Faster than a cannonball
Where were you while we were getting high?

Someday you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova in the sky
Someday you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova
A champagne supernova

'Cuz we don't believe
That they're gonna get away from the summer
But you and I will never die
The world's still spinning around we don't know why
Why-why-why-why-i-i

(guitar solo)

How many special people change?

(background - sounds like a bunch of "No"'s)
(birds chirping)
(more guitar)

How many special people change?
How many lives are living strange?
Where were you while we were getting high?
We were getting high <-- 9 times, background "Oooh-oooh"
(Fades out 7th-9th times to just one "Oooh-oooh")
(Song gets really quiet, fades to a peaceful guitar solo.)
(You gotta love it.)
(Slow drum cadence behind a long held note with a peaceful pitch.)
(Last guitar solo behind the long note.)
(Album ends with that long note. Wow.)

Hello

I don't feel as if I know you
You take up all my time
The days are long and the nights will blow you away
'cuz the sun don't shine

Nobody ever mentions whoever
Can make or break your day
Nobody ever seems to remember
That life is a game we play

We live in the shadows and we had the chance and threw it away
And it's never gonna be the same
'cuz the years have fallen [like the rain? ? ]
And it's never gonna be the same
So the life I knew ['cuz my mind's obsessed? ? ]
Hello

There ain't no sense in feeling lonely
I've got no faith in you
But I've got a feeling you still owe me
So wipe the sh*t from your shoes

Nobody ever mentions whoever
Can make or break your day
Nobody ever seems to remember
That life is a game we play

We live in the shadows and we had the chance and threw it away
And it's never gonna be the same

Today is gonna be the day
That they're gonna throw it back to you

Don't Look Back In Anger

Slip inside the eye of your mind
Don't you know you might find
A better place to play

You said that you've never been (sounds like 'bean' in order to rhyme w/'seen')
But all the things that you've seen
They slowly fade away

So I'll start a revolution from my bed
'cuz you said the brains I had went to my head
Step outside, summertime's in bloom
Stand up beside the fireplace
Take that look from off your face
You ain't ever gonna burn my heart out

And so, sally can wait
She knows it's too late as we're walking on by
Her soul slides away
But don't look back in anger

Take me to the place where you go
Where nobody knows
If it's not our day

Please don't put your life in the hands
Of a rock and roll band

Hey Now!

I hitched a ride with my soul
By the side of the road
Just as the sky turned black
I took a walk with my fame
Down memory lane
I never did find my way back
You know that I gotta say time's slipping away
And what will it hold for me
What am I gonna do while I'm looking at you
You're standing ignoring me

I thought that I heard someone say now
There's no time for running away now
Hey now! hey now!

Feel no shame - cos time's no chain
Feel no shame

The first thing I saw
As I walked through the door
Was a sign on the wall that read
It said you might never know
That I want you to know
What is written inside of your head

And time as it stands
Won't be held in my hands
Or living inside of my skin
And as it fell from the sky
I asked myself why
Can I never let anyone in ?

I thought that I heard someone say now
There's no time for running away now
Hey now! hey now!

Feel no shame - cos time's no chain
Feel no shame

I hitched a ride with my soul
By the side of the road
Just as the sky turned black
I took a walk with my fame
Down memory lane
I never did find my way back

You know that I gotta say time's slipping away
And what will it hold for me
What am I gonna do while I'm looking at you
You're standing ignoring me

I thought that I heard someone say now
There's no time for running away now
Hey now! hey now!

Feel no shame - cos time's no chain
Feel no shame

Some Might Say

Some might say
That sunshine follows thunder
Go and tell it to the man it cannot shine

Some might say
That we should never ponder on our thoughts today cause they hold sway over time
On a [box? ? ] to take our same old sways over time

Some might say
That we will find a brighter day
Some might say
We will find a brighter day
Yeah-ah!

'cuz I've been standing at the station
In need of education in the rain
You made no preparation
For my reputation once again
Your sink is full of fishes
She's got dirty dishes on the brain
And it was overflowing gently
But it's all elementary my friend

Some might say
They don't believe in heaven
Go and tell to the man who lives in hell

Some might say
You get what you've been given
If you don't get yours in one get mine as well

'cuz some might say
We will find a brighter day
Some might say
We will find a brighter day (in a year)
Yeah-ah

'cuz I've been standing at the station
In need of education in the rain
You made no preparation
For my reputation once again
Your sink is full of fishes
She's got dirty dishes on the brain
My dog's been itching
Itching in the kitchen once again

Cast No Shadow

Here's a thought for every man who tries to understand
What is in his hands (what's in his hands)
He walks along the open road of love and life
To find it if he can (to find it if he can)

Bound with all the weight of all the words he tried to say
Chained to all the places that he never wished to stay
Bound with all the weight of all the words he tried to say
As he faced the sun he cast no shadow
(haaaaaaaa-ah)

As they took his soul they stole his pride (priiiii-hide) [-- 3 times
As he faced the sun he cast no shadow

(haaaaaaaa-ah)
(haaaaaaaa-ah)

She's Electric

She's electric
She's in a family full of eccentrics
She's done things I've never expected
And I need more time

She's got a sister
And God only knows how I've missed her
And on the palm of her hand is a blister
And I need more time

And I want you to know
I've got my mind {made up now/mind made up now}
But I need more time
And I want you to say
Do you know what {I'm saying/what I'm saying}
But I need more
{'cuz I'll be you and you'll be me/tiiiiii-iiime}
{there's lots and lots for us to see/ahhhhh-ahhhhh}
{lots and lots for us to do/ahhhhh-ahhhhh}
{she is electric/ahhhhh}
{can I be electric too? /ahhhhh}

She's got a brother (a brother)
We don't get on with one another
But I quite fancy her mother
And I think that she likes me

She's got a cousin (a cousin)
In fact she's got a dozen (a dozen)
She's got one in the oven (oven)
But it's nothing to do with me

And I want you to know
I've got my mind {made up now/mind made up now}
But I need more time

When you're chained to (your) mirror with (your) razor blade
Today's the day that all the world will see
Another sunny afternoon

Champagne Supernova

How many special people change
How many lives are living strange
Where were you when we were getting high?
Slowly walking down the hall
Faster than a cannon ball
Where were you while we were getting high?
Some day you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova in the sky
Some day you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova
A champagne supernova in the sky

Wake up the dawn and ask her why
A dreamer dreams she never dies
Wipe that tear away now from your eye
Slowly walking down the hall
Faster than a cannon ball
Where were you when we were getting high?

Some day you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova in the sky
Some day you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova
A champagne supernova in the sky

Cos people believe that they're
Gonna get away for the summer
But you and i, we live and die
The world's still spinning round
We don't know why
Why, why, why, why

How many special people change
How many lives are living strange
Where were you when we were getting high?
Slowly walking down the hall
Faster than a cannon ball
Where were you while we were getting high?

In a champagne supernova in the sky

We were getting high
We were getting high
We were getting high
We were getting high

Rock 'n' Roll Star

Live my life in the city
There's no easy way out
The day's moving just too fast for me
Need some time in the sunshine
Gotta slow it right down
The day's moving just too fast for me

I live my life for the stars that shine
People say it's just a waste of time
When they said I should feed my head
That to me was just a day in bed
I'll take my car and drive real far
To where they're not concerned about the way we are
Cos in my mind my dreams are real
Are you concerned about the way I feel

Tonight I'm a rock n roll star

Live my life in the city
There's no easy way out
The day's moving just too fast for me
Need some time in the sunshine
Gotta slow it right down
The day's moving just too fast for me

Tonight I'm a rock n roll star

Shakermaker

I'd like to be somebody else and not know where I've been
I'd like to build myself a house out of plasticine
Shake along with me
I've been driving in my car with my friend Mr. Soft
Mr. Clean and Mr.Ben are living in my loft
Shake along with me!

I'm sorry but I just don't know
I know I said I told you so
But when you're happy and you're feeling fine
Then you'll know it's the right time
It's the right time
To shake along with me!

Mister Sifter sold me songs

When I was just sixteen
Now he stops at traffic lights
but only when they're green

Live Forever

Maybe I don't really want to know
How your garden grows
I just want to fly
Lately did you ever feel the pain
In the morning rain
As it soaks it to the bone

Maybe I just want to fly
I want to live I don't want to die
Maybe I just want to breath
Maybe I just don't believe
Maybe you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever

Maybe I don't really want to know
How your garden grows
I just want to fly
Lately did you ever feel the pain
In the morning rain
As it soaks it to the bone

Maybe I will never be
All the things that I want to be
But now is not the time to cry
Now's the time to find out why
I think you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever
We're gonna live forever
Gonna live forever
Live forever
Forever

Up In The Sky

Hey you! Up in the sky
Learning to fly
Tell me how high
Do you think you'll go
Before you start falling
Hey you! Up in a tree

You wanna be me
But that couldn't be
Cos the people here they don't hear you calling
How does it feel
When you're inside me?

Hey you! wearing the crown
Making no sound
I heard you feel down
Well that's too bad
Welcome to my world
Hey you! Stealing the light
I heard that the shine's
Gone out of your life.
Well that's just too bad
Welcome to my world

You'll need assistance with the things that you have never ever
seen
It's just a case of never breathing out
Before you've breathed it in
How does it feel
When you're inside me?

Hey you! Up in the sky
Learning to fly
Tell me how high

Before you start falling
Hey you! Up in a tree

How does it feel
When you're inside me?

You'll need assistance with the things that you have never ever seen

Columbia

There we were now here we are
All this confusion nothings the same to me
There we were now here we are
All this confusion nothings the same to me

But I can't tell you the way I feel
Because the way I feel is oh so! new to me

No I can't sell you the way I feel
Because the way I feel is oh so! new to me

What I heard is not what I hear
I can see the signs but they're not very clear
What I heard is not what I hear
I can see the signs but they're not very clear

This is confusion am I confusing you?

Supersonic

I need to be myself
I can't be no one else
I'm feeling supersonic
Give me gin and tonic
You can have it all but how much do you want it?
You make me laugh
Give me your autograph
Can I ride with you in your B.M.W ?
You can sail with me in my yellow submarine

You need to find out
'Cos no one's gonna tell you what I'm on about
You need to find a way for what you want to say
But before tomorrow

'Cos my friend said he'd take you home
He sits in a corner all alone
He lives under a waterfall
No body can see him
No body can ever hear him call

You need to be yourself
You can't be no one else
I know a girl called Elsa
She's into Alka Seltzer
She sniffs it through a cane on a supersonic train
She made me laugh
I got her autograph
She done it with a doctor on a helicopter
She's sniffin in her tissue
Sellin' the Big Issue

She needs to find out
'Cos no one's gonna tell you what I'm on about
She needs to find a way for what she wants to say
But before tomorrow

'Cos my friend said he'd take you home
He sits in a corner all alone
He lives under a waterfall
No body can see him

No body can ever hear him call

Bring It On Down

What was that sound ringing around your brain?
Today was just a blur, you gotta head like a ghost train
What was that sound ringing around your brain?
You're here on your own who you gonna find to blame?

You're the outcast - you're the underclass
But you don't care - because you're living fast

You're the un-invited guest who stays 'till the end
I know you've got a problem that the devil sends
You think they're talking 'bout you but you don't know who
I'll be scraping your life from the soul of my shoe tonight.

Bring it on down. Bring it down for me
Your head's in a fish tank
Your body and your mind can't breath

You're the outcast - you're the underclass
But you don't care - because you're living fast

You're the un-invited guest who stays 'till the end
I know you've got a problem that the devil sends
You think they're talking 'bout you but you don't know who
I'll be scraping your life from the soul of my shoe tonight.

Cigarettes And Alcohol

Is it my imagination
Or have I finally found something worth living for?
I was looking for some action
But all I found was cigarettes and alcohol

You could wait for a lifetime
To spend your days in the sunshine
You might as well do the white line
Cos when it comes on top . . .

You gotta make it happen!

Is it worth the aggravation
To find yourself a job when there's nothing worth working for?
It's a crazy situation
But all I need are cigarettes and alcohol!

You could wait for a lifetime
To spend your days in the sunshine

You might as well do the white line
Cos when it comes on top . . .

You gotta make it happen!

Digsy's Dinner

What a life it would be
If you would come to mine for tea
I'll pick you up at half past three
And we'll have lasagne
I'll treat you like a Queen
I'll give you strawberries and cream
And then your friends will all go green
For my lasagne

These could be the best days of our lives
But I don't think we've been living very wise
Oh no! no!

Slide Away

Slide away - and give it all you've got
My today - fell in from the top
I dream of you - and all the things you say
I wonder where you are now?

Hold me down - all the world's asleep
I need you now - you've knocked me off my feet
I dream of you - we talk of growing old
But you said please don't !

Slide in baby - together we'll fly
I've tried praying - and I know just what you're saying to me

Now that you're mine
I'll find a way
Of chasing the sun
Let me be the one that shines with you
In the morning when you don't know what to do
Two of a kind
We'll find a way
To do what we've done

Let me be the one that shines with you
And we can slide away.

Married With Children

There's no need for you to say you're sorry
Goodbye I'm going home
I don't care no more so don't you worry
Goodbye I'm going home

I hate the way that even though you
Know you're wrong you say you're right
I hate the books you read and all your friends
Your music's shite it keeps me up all night

There's no need for you to say you're sorry
Goodbye I'm going home
I don't care no more so don't you worry
Goodbye I'm going home

I hate the way that you are so sarcastic
And you're not very bright
You think that everything you've done's fantastic

Your music's shite it keeps me up all night

And it will be nice to be alone
For a week or two
But I know that I will be
Right back here with you

There's no need for you to say you're sorry
Goodbye I'm going home
I don't care no more so don't you worry
Goodbye I'm going home

I hate the way that even though you
Know you're wrong you say you're right
I hate the books you read and all your friends
Your music's shite it keeps me up all night
