Psychodelicate girl - come out to play
Little metal faced-boy
Dont stay away
Theyre so war-torn and resigned
She cant talk anymore
What are they trying to prove?
What would they like to find?
Its love back to front and no sides
These pieces are broken
These pieces are broken
Because youre young
Youll meet a stranger some night
Because youre young
What could be nicer for you
And it makes me sad
So Ill dance my life away
A million dreams, a million scars
He punishes hard
Was loving her such a crime?
She took back everything she said
Left him nearly out of his mind
Theyre people I know - people I love
They seem so unhappy - dead or alive
Its love back to front and no sides
These pieces are broken
These pieces are broken
Because youre young
Youll meet a stranger some night
Because youre young
What could be nicer for you
And itll make me sad
So Ill dance my life away
A million dreams, a million scars
A million dreams
A million scars
A million |

Você não sabe se vai ou vem
Pouco me importa se o dinheiro é seu
Ei baby esse cabelo é legal
Moda na gringa é feliz natal
Sei que invocou mas ficou tudo bem
Agora diz estar na onda zen
Ei baby
Você venceu
Passe amanhã e pegue o que é seu
A maquiagem vai desmanchar
Para o seu medo aparecer
Zero a zero
Deu mole eu vou
Você deu mole então eu marco um gol
Zero a zero
Você venceu
Passe amanha e pegue o que é seu |
I tried to break away from you
From the spics and blacks and the gum you chew
Where the posters are torn by the muggin gangs
By the faggy parks and the burnt out vans
Ive got ninety-nine years of laying in the dark and Im far too young to lie
Ive got ninety-nine ways to play my guitar its going to pay me before I die
So bob your sweet head
Brother Ziggy going to play
Im just about the best you can hear
Gonna rock it in your head
Shazam! and Kapow!
With my guitar and me soprano
We can give you sweet head
Im tough as glass and clean as night
Well if looks can love we can love all right
Im your rubber peacock angelic whore
Im a wrought iron face upon the wall
I had ninety-nine years of murder come life and Im running away from it all
I got a bedroom, every mirror in town theyre going to claim me if I fall
So bob your sweet head
Brother Ziggy going to play
Im just about the best you can hear
Gonna rock it in your head
Shazam! and Kapow!
With my guitar and me soprano
We can give you sweet head
Sweet head, give you sweet head
See my eyes of blocked emotion, see my tremble, see my fall
Traumatics thick and fast, your faith in me can last
Besides Im known to lay you, one and all
Look south the way your mother dwells
If she knew whats going down, shed give you hell
Im the kind of man she warned me of
Till there was rock, you only had god
You and I have a mutual vow
We both like young, and we both like loud
I got pretty shoes, and Im kid and proud
Im street side out with my ear to the crowd
So bob your sweet head
Brother Ziggy going to play
Im just about the best you can hear
Gonna rock it in your head
Shazam! and Kapow!
With my guitar and me soprano
We can give you sweet head
Move along, sir! |

Calling sister midnight
Youve got me reaching for the moon
Calling sister midnight
Youve got me playing the fool
Calling sister midnight
Calling sister midnight
Can you hear me call?
Can you hear me well?
Can you hear me at all?
Calling sister midnight
Well, Im an idiot for you
Calling sister midnight
Im a breakage inside
Calling sister midnight
Calling sister midnight
You know, I had a dream last night
Mother was in my bed
And I made love to her
Father he gunned for me
Hunted me with his six gun
Calling sister midnight
What can I do about my dreams?
Listen to me, sister midnight
Youve got me walking in rags
Listen to me, sister midnight
You put a beggar in my heart
Hey, where are you sister midnight?
Can you hear me call?
Can you hear me well?
Can you hear me at all? |
5:15
Im changing trains
This little town
Let me down
This foreign rain
Brings me down
5:15
Train overdue
Angels have gone
No ticket
Im jumping tracks
Im changing towns
We never talk anymore
Forever I will adore you
5:15
All of my life
Angels have gone
Im changing trains
Angels like them
Thin on the ground
All of my life
All legs and wings
Strange sandy eyes
5:15
Train overdue
Angels have gone
We never talk anymore
Forever I will adore you
Cold station
All of my life
Forever Im out of here forever |
Solemn faced
The village settles down
Undetected by the stars
And the hangman plays the mandolin before he goes to sleep
And the last thing on his mind
Is the Wild Eyed Boy imprisoned
Neath the covered wooden shaft
Folds the rope into its bag
Blows his pipe of smolders
Blankets smoke into the room
And the day will end for some
As the night begins for one
Staring through the message in his eyes
Lies a solitary son
From the mountain called Freecloud
Where the eagle dare not fly
And the patience in his sigh
Gives no indication
For the townsmen to decide
So the village dreadful yawns
Pronouncing gross diversion
As the label for the dog
Oh, Its the madness in his eyes
As he breaks the night to cry:
Its really me
Really you and really me
Its so hard for us to really be
Really you and really Me
Youll lose me, though Im always
Really free
And the mountain moved its eyes
To the world of realize
Where the snow had saved a place
For the Wild-Eyed Boy from Freecloud
And the village dreadful cried
As the rope began to rise
For the smile stayed on the face
Of the Wild-Eyed Boy from Freecloud
And the women once proud clutched the heart of the crowd
As the boulders smashed down from the mountains hand
And the Magic in the stare
Of the Wild Eyed Boy said
Stop, Freecloud
They wont think to cut me down
But the cottages fell
Like a playing card hell
And the tears on the face
Of the Wise Boy
Came tumbling down
To the rumbling ground
And the missionary mystic of peace/love
Stumbled back to cry among the clouds
Kicking back the pebbles
From the Freecloud mountain track |
I was sleeping, gently napping when I heard the phone
Who is on the other end talking, am I even home?
Did you see what she did to him, did you hear what they said?
Just a New York conversation rattling in my head
Oh, oh, my, and what shall we wear?
Oh, oh, my, and who really cares?
Just a New York conversation, gossip all of the time
Did you hear who did what to whom? Happens all the time
Who has touched and who has dabbled here in the city of shows?
Openings, closings, bad repartee, everybody knows
Oh, how sad and why do we call?
Oh, Im glad to hear from you all
I am calling, yes I am calling, just to speak to you
For I know this night will kill me if I cant be with you
If I cant be with you |
Pack a pack horse up and rest up here on
Black Country Rock
You never know, you might find it here
On Black Country Rock

Ah! |
La mia mente ha preso il volo
Un pensiero uno solo
Io cammino mentre dorme la città
I suoi occhi nella notte
Fanali bianchi nella notte
Una voce che mi parla chi sarà?
Dimmi ragazzo solo dove vai
Perché tanto dolore?
Hai perduto senza dubbio un grande amore
Ma di amori è tutta piena la città
No ragazza sola, no no no
Stavolta sei in errore
Non ho perso solamente un grande amore
Ieri sera ho perso tutto con lei
Ma lei
I colori della vita
Dei cieli blu
Una come lei non la troverò mai più
Ora ragazzo solo dove andrai
La notte è un grande mare
Se ti serve la mia mano per nuotare
Grazie ma stasera io vorrei morire
Perché sai negli occhi miei
Cè un angelo, un angelo
Che ormai non vola più che ormai non vola più
Che ormai non vola più
Cè lei
I colori della vita
Dei cieli blu
Una come lei non la troverò
Mai più |
Steel on the skyline
Sky made of glass
Made for a real world
All things must pass
Waiting for something
Looking for someone
Is there no reason?
Have I stared too long?
Whoa
Whoa
You say youll leave me
And when the sun is low
And the rays high
I can see it now
I can feel it die
Oh
Oh |
The blazing sunset in your eyes will tantalize
Every man who looks your way
Ill watch them sink before your gaze
Señorita sway
Dance with me before their frozen eyes
Im so much in love like a ragged soldier
Catching butterflies
No man loved like I love you
Wouldnt you like to love me too?
In the heat of the morning
In the shadows Ill clip your wings
And Ill tell you I love you
In the heat of the morning
Ill tie a knot in rainbows end, organise the breeze
Light my candle from the sun
Ill give you daylight for a friend, Ill do all of these
Ill prove that it can be done
Oh Im so much in love like the little boy
Who races with the wind
No man loved like I love you
Wouldnt you like to love me too?
In the heat of the morning
In the shadows Ill clip your wings
And Ill tell you I love you
In the heat of the morning |
Well, dont you worry bout whats been on my mind
Im in no hurry, I can take my time
Im going red and my tongues getting tired
Out of my head and my mouths getting dry
Im h-h-h-high
Lets spend the night together
Now I need you more than ever
Lets spend the night together now
I feel so strong that I cant disguise, oh my
Well, I just cant apologise, no
Dont hang me up but dont let me down
We could have fun just by groovin around
And around and around
Lets spend the night together
Now I need you more than ever
Lets spend the night together now
Oh, you know Im smiling baby
You need some guiding baby
Im just deciding baby
Lets spend the night together
Now I need you more than ever
Lets spend the night together now
This doesnt happen to me every day
No excuses Ive got anyway, hey

And I know youll satisfy me, oh my-my-my, my-my
Lets spend the night together
Now I need you more than ever
Lets spend the night together
Now I need you more than ever
Lets spend the night together
Now I need you more than ever
Lets spend the night together
They said we were too young
Our kind of love was no fun
But our love comes from above
Do it!
Lets make love
Hoo!
Lets spend the night together
Now I need you more than ever
Lets spend the night together now! |
Oh my love, Janine
Im helpless for your smile
Like a Polish wanderer
I travel ever onwards to your land
And were it not just for the jewels, Id close your hand
Your strange demand
To collocate my mind
Scares me into gloom
Youre too intense
Ill have to keep you in your place
Ive no defence
Ive got to keep my veil on my face
Janine, Janine, youd like to know me well
But Ive got things inside my head
That even I cant face
Janine, Janine, youd like to crash my walls
But if you take an axe to me
Youll kill another man
Not me at all
Youre fey, Janine
A tripper to the last
But if I catch you standing on my toes
Ill have a right to shout you down
For youre a lazy stream
In which my thoughts would drown
So stay, Janine
And we can glide along
Ive caught your wings for laughs
Im not obliged to read you statements of the year
So take your glasses off
And dont act so sincere
Janine, Janine, youd like to know me well
But Ive got things inside my head
That even I cant face
Janine, Janine, youd like to crash my walls
But if you take an axe to me
Youll kill another man
Not me at all |
When the sun goes down
And the bats are back to bed
The brothers come round
I get out of my dirty bed
I shake my pretty little head
Tap my pretty little feet
Feeling brighter than sunlight
Louder than thunder
Bouncing like a yo-yo, wooh
Dont got no problems
Aint got no suitcase
Aint got no clothes to worry about
Aint got no real estate or jewelry or gold mines to hang me up
I just throw in my hand
With the chilliest bunch in the land
They dont look much
They sure chilly chilly
They positively glow glow, huh
Chilly down with the fire gang
Think small with the fire gang
Bad hep with the fire gang
When your thing gets wild
Chilly down
Chilly down with the fire gang
Act tall with the fire gang
Good times, bad food
When your thing gets wild
Chilly down, chilly down
Drive you crazy, really lazy, eye rollin, funky strollin, ball playin
Hip swayin, trouble makin, booty shakin, tripping, passing, jumping
Bouncing, drivin, stylin, creeping, pouncing, shoutin, screamin
Double dealin, rockin, rollin, and a reelin
With the mackin sex appealin
Can you dig our groovy feelin?
So when things get too tough
And your chin is dragging on the ground
And even down looks up
Bad luck heh heh
We can show you a good time
And we dont charge nothin
Just strut your nasty stuff
Wiggle in the middle yeh
Get the town talkin, fire gang
Chilly down with the fire gang
Think small with the fire gang
Bad hep with the fire gang
When your thing gets wild
Chilly down
Chilly down with the fire gang
Act Tall with the fire gang
Good times, bad food
When your thing gets wild
Chilly down
Chilly down with the fire gang
Think small with the fire gang
Bad hep with the fire gang |
For were living
In a safety zone
Dont be holding back from me
Were living from hour to hour down here
And well take it when we can
Its a kind of living which recognises
The death of the odourless man
When nothing is vanity nothings too slow
Its not Eden but its no sham
There is no hell
There is no shame
There is no hell
Like an old hell
There is no hell
And its lights up, boys
Lights up boys
Explosion falls upon deaf ears
While were swimming in a sea of sham
Living in the shadow of vanity
A complex fashion for a simple man
And there is no hell
And there is no shame
And there is no hell
Like an old hell
There is no hell
And the silence flies
On its brief flight
A razor sharp crap shoot affair
And we light up our lives
And theres no more of me exploding you
Re-exposing you
Like everybody do
Re-exploding you
I dont know what to use
Make somebody move
Me exploding
Me exploding you |
See a black El Dorado
Oh, rolling along down below my window
That black girl in the back looks pretty good
Christ, shes beautiful!
Know how soft she is?
Just what you feel like
Oh, Im so far away from her
Jesus, this is Iggy
Leave...
You might as well come with me
When you ride the ride
Theres talk, but I dont want to talk
Oh mamma, I shot myself down
Oh mamma, I shot myself down
Oh mamma, I shot myself down
Oh mamma, yeah mamma, I tell you, I shot myself down
Theyre stepping on our hearts
Stepping on our hearts
I dont know why
Theyre stepping on our hearts
Stepping on our hearts
Damn, I dont know why
Theyre stepping on our hearts
Stepping on our hearts
Stepping on our hearts
Stepping on our hearts
Stepping on our hearts
Cant you see?
Oh no, stepping on our hearts
How come the blacks, how come they
They copy you so good?
They get off on you so... sexually!
If you want to make it
Young man, you got to make somebody come
Come out of your black
Come out of your black
Black and strong and black
Black and strong and black
Black! Strong! Black!
Jesus, its cold in this room, its really cold
You know, I never, I never told you about this but theres one guy
Somebody I really love, hes never around
Well, hes taken things that could be alright, that could be nice
And he make them so ugly, so damn ugly
And we put out the lights on them
Yeah, wed make it dark, we put out the lights on them
Its idiots like you that screw me up
I know theres nothing to you
And I dont know why I treat you so kind
Come down and dance with me, dance with me
You got nobody left but me
Oh accept me, dont reject me, dont forget me
Mamma, what color will the lights be?
Will they turn blue on me?
Mamma, what color will the lights be?
Will they turn blue on me?
Mamma, I shot myself up
Whoa mamma, I shot myself up
Mamma, I shot myself up up up up up
Mamma, I shot myself up, down, up, down
Mamma, up up up up up
Mamma, I didnt know what I was doing
And I didnt mean to but I did it, I shot myself up
Ma- ma- I- shot- my- self- |
I saw my baby
She was turning blue
Oh, I knew that soon
Her young life was through
And so I got down on my knees
Down by her bed
And these are the words
To her I said
Everything will be all right, tonight
Everything will be all right, tonight
No one moves, no one talks
No one thinks, no one walks, tonight
Everyone will be all right, tonight
Everyone will be all right, tonight
No one moves, no one talks
No one thinks, no one walks, tonight
Tonight
I am going to love her to the end
I am going to love her to the end
I will love her until I die
I will see her in the sky, tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight |
Well, I am your crazy driver
Honey, Im sure to steer you wrong
I am dying in a story
Im only living to sing this song
I need somebody, baby
I need somebody, too
I need somebody, baby
Just like you, just like you, just like you
Well, Im losing all my feelings
And Im running out of friends
You know you lied to me in the beginning
Baby, and now youre gonna try to bring me
Try to bring me to the end
I need somebody, baby
I need somebody, too
I need somebody, baby
Just like you, just like you, just like you
Well, now its time to leave this signal
The interference is too strong
Yeah, I got my reputation
Ride them airwaves, now too long
I need somebody, baby
I need somebody, too
I need somebody, baby
Just like you, just like you, just like you |
Yes I am mother natures son
And Im the only one
I do what I want and I want what I see
Huh, could only happen to me
Im so free
Im so free
Oh, please, Saint Germaine
I have come this way
Do you remember the shape I was in
I had horns and fins
Im so free
Im so free
Do you remember the silver walks
You used to shiver and I used to talk
Then we went down to Times Square
And ever since Ive been hanging around there
Im so free
Im so free
Yes I am mother natures son
And Im the only one
I do what I want and I want what I see
Could only happen to me
Im so free

I wish I was smarter
I got so lost on the shore
I wish I was taller
Things really matter to me
But I put my face in tomorrow
I believe were not alone
I believe in Beatles
I believe my little soul has grown
And Im still so afraid
Yeah, Im still so afraid
Yeah, Im still so afraid
On my own
On my own
What made my life so wonderful?
What made me feel so bad?
I used to wake up the ocean
I used to walk on clouds
If I put faith in medication
If I can smile a crooked smile
If I can talk on television
If I can walk an empty mile
And I wont feel afraid
No I wont feel afraid
I wont be, be afraid anymore
Anymore
Anymore |
I was walking through the counters of a national concern
And a cash machine was spitting by my shoulder
And I saw the multitude of faces, honest, rich and clean
As the merchandise exchanged and money roared
And a woman hot with worry slyly slipped a tin of stewing steak
Into the paper bag at her side
And her face was white with fear in case her actions were observed
So she closed her eyes to keep her conscience blind
Crying God knows Im good
God knows Im good
God knows Im good
God may look the other way today
God knows Im good
God knows Im good
God knows Im good
God may look the other way today
Then she moved toward the exit clutching tightly at her paper bag
Perspiration trickled down her forehead
And her heart it leapt inside her as the hand laid on her shoulder
She was led away bewildered and amazed
Through her deafened ears the cash machines were shrieking on the counter
As her escort asked her softly for her name
And a crowd of honest people rushed to help a tired old lady
Who had fainted to the whirling wooden floor
Crying God knows Im good
God knows Im good
God knows Im good
Surely God wont look the other way
God knows Im good
God knows Im good
God knows Im good
Surely God wont look the other way
Hey! |
I recall how we lived
On the corner of a bed
And wed speak of a Swedish room
Of hessian and wood
And wed talk with our eyes
Of the sweetness in our lives
And tomorrows of rich surprise...
Some things we could do
In our madness
We burnt one hundred days
Time takes time to pass
And I still hold some ashes to me
An Occasional Dream
And wed sleep, oh so close
But not really close our eyes
Between the sheets of summer
Bathed in blue...
Gently weeping nights
It was long, long ago
And I still cant touch your name
For the days of fate
Were strong for you...
Danced you far from me
In my madness
I see your face in mine
I keep a photograph
It burns my wall with time
Time
An Occasional Dream
Of mine
An Occasional Dream
Of mine
An Occasional Dream
Of mine |

Pablos feeling better now
Hanging by his finger nails
Swinging on the back porch
Jumping off a big log
Pablos feeling better now
Hanging by his finger nails
Well some people try to pick up girls
They get called assholes
This never happened to Pablo Picasso
The girls would turn the color of a juicy avocado
When he would drive down their street in his El Dorado
He could walk down your street
Girls could not resist his stare
So Pablo Picasso was never called an asshole
Not like you
Wow!

And girls could not resist his stare
Pablo Picasso never got called an asshole
Well the girls would turn the color of a juicy avocado
When he would drive down their street in his El Dorado
Well he was only 53
But girls could not resist his stare
Pablo Picasso never got called an asshole
Not in New York
Wow!

I feel a little roughed up, feel a bit frightened
Nearly pin it down some time
Red sail action, wake up in the wrong town
Boy, I really get around
Thunder ocean, thunder ocean
Red sails take me, make me sail along
Red sails, and a mast so tall
Red sails, red sails
Do you remember, we another person
Green and black and red and so scared
Graffiti on the wall keep us all in tune
Bringing us all back home
Red sails, thunder ocean
Red sails, sailor cant dance like you
Red sail, red sail action
Red sail, some reaction
Action boy seen living under neon
Struggle with a foreign tongue
Red sails make him strong
Action make him sail along
Life stands still and stares
The hinterland, the hinterland
Were going to sail to the hinterland
And its far far, far far far, far far far away
Its a far far, far far far, fa da, da da da

You were the widow of a wild cat
And now I know about your special kisses
And I know you know where that is at
I guess I recognise your destination
I think I see beneath your make-up
What you want is so separation
This is no ordinary, this is no ordinary
What a criminal world
The boys are like baby-faced girls
What a criminal girl
Shell show you where to shoot your gun
What a typical mothers son
The only thing that she enjoys
Is a criminal world
Where the girls are like baby-faced boys
Youve got a very heavy reputation
But no-one knows about your low-life
I know a way to find a situation
And hold a candle to your high-life disguise
You caught me kneeling at your sisters door
That was no ordinary stick-up
Im well aware just what youre looking for
I am no ordinary, I am no ordinary
What a criminal world
The boys are like baby-faced girls
What a criminal girl
Shell show you where to shoot your gun
What a typical mothers son
The only thing that she enjoys
Is a criminal world
Where the girls are like baby-faced boys
Baby-faced boys
Baby-faced
What a criminal world
What a criminal...
Criminal
What a criminal world
What a criminal...

Im not a moody guy
I walk without a sound
Just a working man, no judge of men
But such a life Ive never known
We came from the farmlands
To live in this city
We walked proud and lustful
In this resonant world
You want to fight
But I dont want to leave
Or drift away
Im not a moody guy
I walk without a sound
Just a working man, no judge of men
But such a life Ive never known
Look at this, no second glances
Look at this, no value of love
Look at this, just sun and steel
Look at this, then look at us
If theres someone in charge
Then listen to me
Dont say nothing is wrong
Cause I have got a love and she is-a feared
You want to fight
But I dont want to leave
Or drift away
Im not a moody guy
I walk without a sound
Just a working man, no judge of men
But such a life Ive never known
Im not a moody guy
I walk without a sound
Just a working man, no judge of men
But such a life Ive never known
Yassassin, Yassassin, Yassassin |
I took this walk to ease my mind
To find out whats gnawing at me
Wouldnt think, to look at me
That Ive spent a lot of time in education
It all seems so long ago
Im a thinker, not a talker
Ive no-one to talk to, anyway
I cant see the road
For the rain in my eyes
I live above the grocers store
Owned by an Austrian
He often calls me down to eat
And he jokes about his broken English
Tries to be a friend to me
But for all my years of reading conversation
I stand without a word to say
I cant see the bridge
For the rain in my eyes
And the world is full of life
Full of folk who dont know me
And they walk in twos or threes or more
While the lamp that shines above the grocers store
Investigates my face so rudely
And my essays lying scattered on the floor
Fulfil their needs just by being there
And my hands shake, my head hurts
My voice sticks inside my throat
Im invisible and dumb
And no-one will recall me
And I cant see the water
For the tears in my eyes |
We met upon a hill
The night was cool and still
She sucked my dormant will
Mother, she blew my brain
I will go back again
My God, she shook me cold
I had no time to spare
I grabbed her golden hair
And threw her to the ground
Father, she caved my head
Oh Lord, the things she said
My God, she should be told
I was very smart
Broke the gentle hearts
Of many young virgins
I was quick on the ball
Left them so lonely
Theyd just give up trying
Then she took my head and
Smashed it up
Kept my young blood rising
Crushed me mercilessly
Kept me going around
So she dont know I crave her so-o-o
Ill give my love in vain
To reach that peak again
We met upon a hill
Mother, she blew my brain
I will go back again
My God, she shook me cold |
Before you go
Do me a favor
Give me a number
Of a girl almost like you
With legs almost like you
Im buried deep in mass production
Youre not nothing new
I like to drive along the freeways
See the smokestacks belching
Breasts turn brown
So warm and so brown
Though I try to die
You put me back on the line
Oh damn it to hell
Back on the line, hell
Back on the line
Again and again
Im back on the line
Again and again
And I see my face here
And its there in the mirror
And its up in the air
And Im down on the ground
By the way
Im going for cigarettes
And since youve got to go
Wont you do me that favor
Wont you give me that number
Wont you get me that girl
Yeah, shes almost like you
Yes, shes almost like you
And Im almost like him
Yes, Im almost like him
Yes, Im almost like him
Yeah, Im almost like him |

Oh, can you feel it in the way
That a man is not a man?
Can you see it in the sky
That the landscape is too high?
Like a nervous disease
It will tumble from the sky

Sweet Sixteen in leather boots
Body and soul I go crazy
Baby, baby Im hungry Sweet Sixteen
Funky bar all full of faces
Pretty faces, beautiful faces
Body and soul, body and soul, I give to you
I am an easy mark
With my broken heart Sweet Sixteen
Show you my explosion Sweet Sixteen
Go out to the funky bar
I get hurt, crying inside
Because everybodys so fine and
And they dont need me
Tell me, what can I do, Sweet Sixteen?
I give you my body and soul Sweet Sixteen
I must be hungry
Because I go crazy
Over your leather boots
Now baby, I know
Thats not normal
Well, I love you, I love you, I love you
Sweet Sixteen
Everywhere I go, Im lonely... |
Sometimes I feel the need to move on
So I pack a bag and move on
Move on
Well, I might take a train or sail at dawn
Might take a girl when I move on
When I move on
Somewhere, someone is calling me
When the chips are down
I am just a travelling man
Maybe it is just a trick of the mind
But somewhere there is a morning sky
Bluer than her eyes
Somewhere theres an ocean
Innocent and wild
Africa is sleepy people
Russia has its horsemen
Spent some nights in old Kyoto
Sleeping on the matted ground
Cyprus is my island
When the goings rough
I would love to find you
Somewhere in a place like that
Mahi-ya, mahi-yo, mahi-ya, mahi-yo
Mahi-ya, mahi-yo, mahi-ya, mahi-yo
Somewhere, someones calling me
When the chips are down
I stumble like a blind man
I cant forget you, cant forget you
Feeling like a shadow
Drifting like a leaf
I stumble like a blind man
I cant forget you, cant forget you
I cant forget you, cant forget you |
Sitting here wishing on a cement floor
Just wishing that I had just something you wore
I put it on when I go lonely
Will you take off your dress and send it to me?
I miss your kissing and I miss your head
And a letter in your writing doesnt mean youre not dead
Just run outside in the desert heat
Make your dress all wet and send it to me
I miss your soup and I miss your bread
And a letter in your writing doesnt mean youre not dead
So spill your breakfast and drip your wine
Just wear that dress when you dine
D-A-V-I-D
Sitting here wishing on a cement floor
Just wishing that I had just something you wore
Bloody your hands on a cactus tree
Wipe it on your dress and send it to me
Sitting here wishing on a cement floor
Just wishing that I had just something you wore |
Walking in the snowy street
Let me understand
Drifting down a silent park
Stumbling over land
Open up your heart to me
Show me who you are
And I would be your slave
Do you sleep in quietude?
Do you walk in peace?
Do you laugh out loud at me?
No one else that is free
Open up your heart to me
Show me all you are
And I would be your slave
I dont sit around and wait
I dont give a damn
I dont see the point at all
No footprints in the sand
I bet you laugh out loud at me
A chance to strike me down
Give me peace of mind at last
Show me all you are
Open up your heart to me
And I would be your slave
I dont sit around and wait
I dont give a damn
I dont see the point at all
No footprints in the sand
I would give you all my love
Nothing else is free
Open up your heart to me
And I would be your slave |
Pressure!
Pushing down on me
Pressing down on you no man ask for
That burns a building down
Splits a family in two
Puts people on streets
Bah bah dah bah bah dah
Thats okay!
Its the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends scream
Pressure on people
People on the streets
Bah bah dah bah bah dah
Okay!
Chipping around
Kick my brains round the floor
These are the days
It never rains but it pours
Bah bah dah bah bah dah
People on streets
Bah dah dee da day
People on streets
Bah dah dee dah dee dah dee dah dee dah
Its the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends scream
Pray tomorrow takes me higher
Turned away from it all
Like a blind man
Sat on a fence but it dont work
Keep coming up with love
But its so slashed and torn
Why? Why? Why?
Love !
Love !
Love !
Insanity laughs under pressure
Were cracking
Why cant we give love, give love, give love?
Give love, give love, give love, give love, give love?
The edge of the night
And love dares you to change our ways
Of caring about ourselves
This is our last dance
This is our last dance
This is ourselves
Under pressure
Under pressure
Under pressure |
Stay away from the future
Back away from the light
Its all deranged - no control
Sit tight in your corner
Dont tell God your plans
Its all deranged
No control
If I could control tomorrows haze
The darkest shore wouldnt bother me
If I cant control
The web we weave
My life will be lost in falling leaves
Every single moves uncertain
Dont tell God your plans
Its all deranged
No control
I should live my life on bended knee
If I cant control my destiny
Youve got to have a scheme
Youve got to have a plan
In the world of today, for tomorrows man
No control
Stay away from the future
Dont tell God your plans
Its all deranged
No control
Forbidden words, deafen me
In memory, no control
See how far a sinful man
Burn his tracks, his bloody robes
Youve got to have a scheme
Youve got to have a plan
In the world of today, for tomorrows man
I should live my life on bended knee
If I cant control my destiny
No control
I cant believe Ive no control
Its all deranged
I cant believe Ive no control
Its all deranged
Deranged
Deranged |
I forgot what my father said
I forgot what he said
I forgot what my mother said
As we lay upon your bed
A city full of flowers
A city full of rain
I got seven days to live my life
Or seven ways to die
I forgot what my brother said
I forgot what he said
I dont regret anything at all
I remember how we wept
On a bridge of violent people
I was small enough to cry
I got seven days to live my life
Or seven ways to die
Hold my face before you
Still my trembling heart
Seven days to live my life
Or seven ways to die
The gods forgot they made me
So I forgot them too
I listen to the shadows
I play among their graves
My heart was never broken
My patience never tried
I got seven days to live my life
Or seven ways to die
Seven days to live my life
Or seven ways to die
Seven
Seven
Seven

Johnny is a man and hes bigger than you
But his overheads are high
And he looks straight through you
When you ask him how the kids are
Hell get home around seven
Cause the Chevy’s real old
And he could have had a Cadillac
If the school had taught him right
And he could have married Anne with the blue silk blouse
He could have married Anne with the blue silk blouse
And the food is on the table but the food is cold
Cant you even cook?
Whats the good of me working when you cant damn cook?
Well, Johnny is a man and hes bigger than her
I guess the bruises wont show
If she wears long sleeves
But the space in her eyes shows through
And he could have married Anne with the blue silk blouse
He could have married Anne with the blue silk blouse
It shows through
It shows through
It shows through |
You look so good to me
Here in this old saloon
Way back in West Berlin
A bottle of white wine
White wine and you
A table made of wood
And how I wish you would
Fall in love with me
You look so good to me
Standing out in the street
With your cheap fur on
Or maybe your plastic raincoat
And your plastic shoes
They look good too
Standing in the snow
Youre younger than you look
Fall in love with me
Fall in love with me
How I wish you would
A table made of wood
And a, a bottle of white wine
And you, and a, a bottle of white wine and you
And when youre standing
In the street and its cold
And it snows on you
And you look younger than you really are
I wish you would fall in love with me
I wish you would fall in love with me
I wish you would fall in love with me
I wish you would fall in love with me
Yeah, yeah
The way your eyes are black
The way your hair is black
The way your heart is young
Theres just a few like you
Just the kind I need
To fall in love with me
Oh, and you look so good
Oh yes, you look so good
A bottle of white wine
A cigarette and you
Here in this saloon
White wine and you
I wish youd fall in love with me
I wish youd fall in love with me
Cause theres just a few like you
So young and real
Theres just a few like you
So young and real
Fall in love with me
Fall in love with me
Fall in love with me
Fall in love with me
I wish you would
You look so good
Oh, when youre young at heart
Theres just a few like you
Youre young at heart
Wont you
Come to this old saloon
Come to my waiting arms
A table made of wood
And I will look at you
Because youre so young and pure
And youre young at heart
Youre young at heart
A bottle of white wine
And when youre tumbling down
You just look better
When youre tumbling down
You just look finer |
I, I will be king
And you, you will be queen
Though nothing will drive them away
We can beat them, just for one day
We can be heroes, just for one day
And you, you can be mean
And I, Ill drink all the time
Cause were lovers, and that is a fact
Yes, were lovers, and that is that
Though nothing will keep us together
We could steal time, just for one day
We can be heroes, forever and ever
What dyou say?
Du, könntest du schwimmen
Wie Delphine, Delphine es tun
Niemand gibt uns eine Chance
Doch können wir siegen, für immer und immer
Und wir sind dann Helden, für einen Tag
Ich, ich bin dann König
Und du, du Königin
Obwohl sie, unschlagbar scheinen
Werden wir Helden, für einen Tag
Wir sind dann wir, an diesem Tag
Ich, ich glaub das zu träumen
Die Mauer, im Rücken war kalt
Schüsse reissen die luft
Doch wir küssen, als ob nichts geschieht
Und die Scham fiel auf ihre Seite
Oh, wir können sie schlagen, für alle Zeiten
Dann sind wir Helden, nur diesen Tag
Dann sind wir Helden
Dann sind wir Helden
Dann sind wir Helden, nur diesen Tag
Dann sind wir Helden
Were nothing, and nothing will help us
Maybe were lying, then you better not stay
But we could be safer, just for one day
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, just for one day |
He swivels his head
Tears his eyes from the screen
As his past puts him back in Atlantic City
Theres not even a demon in Heaven or Hell
Is it all just human disguise
As I walk down the aisle
And Im gone, gone, gone
Now Im older than movies
Let me dance away
Now Im wiser than dreams
Let me fly, fly, fly
While Im touching tomorrow
And I know whos there
When silhouettes fall
And Im gone
Like Im dancing on angels
And Im gone through the crack in the past
Like a dead man walking
Like a dead man walking
Three old men dancing under her lamp lights
Shaking their sex in the bones
And the boys that we were
An alien nation in therapy
Sliding naked, anew
Like a bad tempered child
On the rain slicked streets
And Im gone, gone, gone
Now Im older than movies
Let me dance away
Now Im wiser than dreams
Let me fly, fly, fly
While Im touching tomorrow
And I know whos there
When silhouettes fall
And Im gone
Like Im dancing on angels
And Im gone through the crack in the past
Like a dead man walking
Like a dead man walking
Like a dead man
Like a dead man walking
And Im gone, gone, gone
Let me dance, dance, dance
And Im gone
Let me dance, dance, dance
And Im gone
Like Im dancing on angels
And Im gone through the crack in the past
And Im gone
Like Im dancing on angels
And Im gone through the crack in the past
Like a dead man walking
Like a dead man walking
Like a dead man |
Hey Jack, I better shake it off
Put her out of my head
The thinking of all, just another young girl last night
Oh brother! I left a woman
In that morning day
Been on that trip so many times
Good-God! was really yesterday
Ive tried so many, many, many, many, many
Many ways
Ive lied and taken off into the day
Leaving another girl to
Weep over the breakfast tray
Loved her before I knew her name
Hit me! Jack, cause Im
Gone! love her way
Come back, my babe
Come back my babe
Feel holy again, I gave her
oww, baby, baby
Gotta give her, oww, baby, baby
That kind of love
Can only destroy
I gave her, oww, baby, baby
Gettin down, if Im gonna be, the baby wants it
Gonna be me
There was no rein to check me
When all tho-ose little things walked on by
Oh! but I couldnt feel this, stammer out a word
When that angel stuck in my mind
Oo, oo, oo, oo
Lookin for love wont hold me back
Im gonna love her way
Come back my babe
Feel holy again

Gotta give it, love
Oww, baby, baby
That kind of love
Can only destroy
I gave her, oww, baby, baby
Gotta get it now, If Im
Gonna be her baby
Its gonna be me, yeah
Just playing that latest record
Waitin for the telephone to ring
Wiped-out and bitter, with a
Bag clutched in her hand
All the cars sound like theyre
Pulling in the drive
Umm, no, no, no, no, no, uhh
I see her now
A little tear running down her check
Laugh! Let down
People looking for me
I want to race down her street
And knock hard, hard, hard on the door til
Until she breaks down in my arms like a
Treasured toy and I feel the pain
Ill be so strong again and again
Come back my baby, yeah
Im holy again
Ill take ya, oww, babe, baby, baby

My kind of love
Can only bring you joy
Im gonna, oww, baby
Yeah, got far

Umm, hmm, hmm |
Getting my facts from a Benetton ad
Looking through African eyes
Lit by the glare of an L.A. fire
Ive got a face, not just my race, bang bang
Ive got you, babe
Putting on the black tie
Cranking out the white noise
Sun comes up and the man goes down
Woman comes again
Just an hour or so to be safe from fear
Then we jump through hoops, were divisible now
Just disappear
Putting on the black tie
Cranking out the white noise
We reach out over race and hold each others hands
Then die in the flames singing We Shall Overcome
Whats going on?
Therell be some blood, no doubt about it
But well come through, dont doubt it
I look into your eyes and I know I wont kill you
I look into your eyes and I know you wont kill me
You wont kill me
You wont kill me, no
But I look into your eyes and I wonder sometimes
Putting on the black tie
Cranking out the white noise
Oh Lord, just let him see me
Lord, Lordy, let him hear me
Let him call me brother
Let him put his arms around me
Let him put his hands together
Reach out over race and hold each others hands
Walk through the night thinking We Are the World
Whats going on?
There will be some blood, no doubt about it
We shall come through, dont doubt it
I look into your eyes and I know I wont kill you
And I turn my back for I know you wont kill me
You wont kill me
You wont kill me, no
But I wonder why
Yes, I wonder why sometimes
Putting on the black tie
Cranking out the white noise
Theyll show us how to break the rules
But never how to make the rules
Reduce us down to witless punks
Fascist cries, both black and white
Whos got the blood? Whos got the gun?
Putting on the black tie
Cranking out the white noise
Cranking out
Cranking out
Cranking out white noise
Cranking out
Cranking out
Putting on the black tie
Cranking out the white noise |

Well, I walked in the pouring rain
And I heard a voice that cries Its all in vain
The voice of doom was shining in my room
I just need one day somewhere far away
Oh Lord, I just need one day
Well, Ive been breaking these rocks
And cutting this hay
Yes, Ive been breaking these rocks
Whats my price to pay?
Well, the rivers so muddy, but it may come clear
And I know too well whats keeping me here
Im just a slave of a burning ray
Oh, give me the night, I cant take another sight
Please, please give me the night
Been breaking these rocks
And cutting this hay
Yes, Ive been breaking these rocks
Whats my price to pay?
Sun keeps beating down on me, walls a mile high
Up in the tower theyre watching me, hoping Im going to die
I wont be breaking no rocks
I said I wont be breaking no rocks
Oh-oh-oh
Who will pardon me?
When the kingdom comes
When the kingdom comes
When the kingdom comes
When the kingdom comes |

Living in lies by the railway line
Pushing the hair from my eyes
Elvis is English and climbs the hills
Cant tell the bullshit from the lies
Screaming along in South London
Vicious but ready to learn
Sometimes I fear that the whole world is queer
Sometimes but always in vain
So Ill wait until were sane
Wait until were blessed and all the same
Full of blood, loving life and all its got to give
Englishmen going insane
Down on my knees in Suburbia
Down on myself in every way
With great expectations I change all my clothes
Mustnt grumble at silver and gold
Screaming above Central London
Never bored, so Ill never get old
So Ill wait until were sane
Wait until were blessed and all the same
Full of blood, loving life and all its got to give
Englishmen going insane
Down on my knees in suburbia
Down on myself in every way
Day after, day after day, day after
Zane, Zane, Zane, Ouvre le chien
Day after day, day after
Zane, Zane, Zane, Ouvre le chien
Day after |
Well the day begins, you dont want to live
Cause you cant believe in the one youre with
Cause you know her tricks and you know her past
When she makes a face you just have to laugh
And you feel like such a know it all
When you only want just a tiny girl
And you hope shell sing
So you turn around toward the tiny girls
Who have got no tricks, who have got no past
Yeah thats what you think and you hope shell sing
But she sings of greed like a young banshee
And she wants for this and she wants for that
Now what did you think? |
Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup
They slither wildly as they slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy
Are drifting through my opened mind
Possessing and caressing me
Nothings going to change my world
Nothings going to change my world
Nothings going to change my world
Nothings going to change my world
Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes
They call me on and on across the universe
Thoughts meander like the restless wind inside a letterbox
They tumble blindly as they make their way across the universe
Nothings going to change my world
Nothings going to change my world
Nothings going to change my world
Nothings going to change my world
Sounds of laughter, shades of life
Are ringing through my open ears
Inciting and inviting me
Limitless undying love, which shines around me like a million suns
It calls me on and on and on across the universe
Nothings going to change my world
Nothings going to change my world
Nothings going to change my world
Nothings going to change my world
Nothings going to change my world
Nothings going to change my world
Nothing, nothing, nothing
Nothings going to
Nothings going to change my world
Nothing, nothing, nothing
Nothings going to
Nothings going to change my world
Nothings going to change it
Nothings going to change it
Hey, nothings going to change it
Nothings going to change it
Nothings going to change it
Nothings going to change it
Nothings going to change my world
Nothing going to change it
Nothing going to change it
Nothings going to change my world |
So long child, Im on my way
And after all is done, after all is done
Dont be down, its all in the past
Though you may be afraid
So long child, its awful dark
And Ive never felt the sun
I dread to think of when
When the wind blows
When the wind blows
When the wind blows
When the wind blows
Life burns a savage wound, angry and wrong
Trusting a twisted word, youll run, run away
Youll take him home
Youll spit and taunt him
But they wont believe you
No matter what youll say
So long child, its awful dark
I never felt the sun
I dread to think of when
When the wind blows
When the wind blows
When the wind blows
When the wind blows |
Poor soul
Spit upon that
Poor soul
He never knew what hit him and it hit him so
Poor dunce
He pushed back the pigmen
The Barbs laughed
The fool is dead
Poor dunce
Hes less than within us
The brains talk
But the will to live is dead
And prayer cant travel so far these days
The talk of your life
Standing so near
To innocent eyes
Poor dunce
Swings through the tunnels
And claws his way
Is small life so manic
Are these really the days
Poor dunce, poor dunce
Poor soul
Spit upon that
Poor soul
He never knew what hit him and it hit him so
People spat upon him
Poor soul
Poor soul
Poor soul |
Are you OK?
Youve been shot in the head
And Im holding your brains,
The old woman said
So I drink in the shadows of an evening sky
See nothing at all
The stars look so special
And the snow looks so old
The frail form is drifting
Beyond the yoga zone
Time to question the mountain: Why pigs can fly?
Its nothing at all
I praise to you
Nothing ever goes away
I praise to you
Nothing ever goes
I praise to you
I praise to you
Nothing ever goes away
I praise to you
Nothing ever goes
I praise to you
Nothing ever goes away
I praise to you
Nothing ever goes, nothing ever goes
Nothing |
Well, I never got my license to live
They wont give it up
So I stand at the worlds edge
Im trying to break in
Oh, I know its not for me
And the sight of it all
Makes me sad and ill
Thats when I want- Some Weird Sin
Things get too straight
I cant bear it
I feel stuck, stuck on a pin
Im trying to break in
Oh, I know its not for me
And the sight of it all
Makes me sad and ill
Thats when I want- Some Weird Sin
Thats when I want- Some Weird Sin
Just to relax with
Yeah, some dumb, weird sin
For a while anyway
With my head on the ledge
Thats what you get out on the edge
Some Weird Sin
Some weird sin, Some weird sin |
Strikes the bell for 5 oclock, Uncle Arthur closes shop
Screws the tops on all the bottles, turns the lights out, locks it up
Climbs across his bike and hes away
Cycles past the gasworks, past the river, down the high street
Back to mother, its another empty day
Uncle Arthur likes his mommy
Uncle Arthur still reads comics
Uncle Arthur follows Batman
Round and round the rumours fly, how he ran away from Mum
On his 32nd birthday, told her that hed found a chum Mother cried and raved and yelled and fussed
Arthur left her no illusion, brought the girl round, save confusion
Sally was the real thing, not just lust
Uncle Arthur vanished quickly
Uncle Arthur and his new bride
Uncle Arthur follows Sally
Round and round goes Arthurs head, hasnt eaten well for days
Little Sally may be lovely, but cooking leaves her in a maze
Uncle Arthur packed his bags and fled
Back to mother, alls forgiven, serving in the family shop
He gets his pocket money, hes well fed
Uncle Arthur past the gasworks
Uncle Arthur past the river
Uncle Arthur down the high street
Uncle Arthur follows mother |
Time will crawl
Ive never sailed on a sea
I would not challenge a giant
I could not take on the church
Til the twenty-first century lose
I know a government man
He was as blind as the moon, and he—
He saw the sun in the night
He took a top-gun pilot and he—
He made him fly through a hole
Til he grew real old, and he—
And he never came down
He just flew till he burst
Time will crawl
Til our mouths run dry
Time will crawl
Til our feet grow small
Time will crawl
Til our tails fall off
Time will crawl
Til the twenty-first century lose
I saw a black, black stream
Full of white eyed fish
And a drowning man
With no eyes at all
I felt a warm, warm breeze
That melted metal and steel
I got a bad migraine
That lasted three long years
And the pills that I took
Made my fingers disappear
Time will crawl
Time will crawl
Time will crawl
Til the twenty-first century lose
Time will crawl
Time will crawl
You were a talented child
You came to live in our town
We never bothered to scream
When your mask went off
We only smelt the gas
As we lay down to sleep
Time will crawl
And our heads bowed down
Time will crawl
And our eyes fall out
Time will crawl
And the streets run red
Time will crawl
Til the twenty-first century lose
And our mouths run dry
Time will crawl
And our feet grow small
Time will crawl
And our tails fall off
Time will crawl
Til the twenty-first century lose
And our heads bowed down
Time will crawl
And our eyes fall out
Time will crawl
And the streets run red
Time will crawl
Til the twenty-first century lose
Time will crawl
For the crazy child
Time will crawl
Well give every life
Til the twenty-first century lose
For the crackpot notion |
Just look through your window, look who sits outside
Little me is waiting, standing through the night
When youll walk out through your door Ill wave my flag and shout
Oh, beautiful baby
My burning desire started on Sunday
Give me your heart and Ill love you till Tuesday
Whos that hiding in the apple tree, clinging to a branch
Dont be afraid its only me, hoping for a little romance
If you lie beneath my shade, Ill keep you nice and cool
Oh, beatiful baby
I was very lonely till I met you on Sunday
My passions never-ending and Ill love you till Tuesday
Let the wind blow through your hair, be nice to the big blue sea
Dont be afraid of the man in the moon, because its only me
I shall always watch you until my love runs dry
Oh, beautiful baby
My hearts a flame, Ill love you till Tuesday
My heads in a whirl and Ill love you till Tuesday
Love, love, love, love you till Tuesday
Well, I might stretch it till Wednesday |
Just when Im ready to throw in my hand
Just when the best things in life are gone
I look into your eyes
Theres no smoke without fire
Youre exactly who I want to be with
Without you
What would I do?
And when Im willing to call it a day
Just when I wont take another chance
I hold your hand
Theres no smoke without fire
Woman, I love you
Without you
What would I do? |

I
I will be King
And you
You will be my Queen
Though nothing
Will keep us together
We can beat them
Forever and ever
We can be Heroes
Just for one day
And you
You can be mean
And I
Ill drink all the time
’Cause were Lovers
And that is a fact
Yes were Lovers
And that is that
Though nothing
Will keep us together
We can beat them
Just for one day
We can be Heroes
Just for one day
I
Well I wish I could swim
Like the dolphins
Like dolphins can swim
Though nothing
Will drive them away
We can beat them
Just for one day
We can be Heroes
Forever and ever
What d`you say?
And I
I would be King
And you
Would be my Queen
Oh, nothing can keep us together
We can beat them
Forever and ever
We can be Heroes
Just for one day
So I
I can remember
Standing
By the wall
And the guns
Shot above our heads
And we kissed
As though nothing could fall
And the shame
It`s there on the other side
Oh, we can beat them
Forever and ever
We can be Heroes
Just for one day
What d`you say?
We can be heroes
Just for one day
We can be heroes
Oh, nothing
Will keep us together
Maybe we’re lying
Then you better not stay
We can be Heroes
Just for one day
We can be Heroes
Just for one day
Just for one day... |
The words I have to say
May well be simple but theyre true
Until you give your love
Theres nothing more that we can do
Love is the opening door
Love is what we came here for
No-one can offer you more
You know what I mean
Have your eyes really seen?
You say you find it hard
To lead the life that we once knew
But theres no other way
So now its really up to you
Love is the key we must turn
Truth is the flame we must learn
Freedom the lesson we must learn
Do you know what I mean?
Have your eyes really seen?
Love is the key we must turn
Truth is the flame we must burn
Freedom the lesson we must learn
Do you know what I mean?
Have your eyes really seen?
You say you find it hard
To lead the life that we once knew
But theres no other way
So now its really up to you
Love is the key we must turn
Truth is the flame we must learn
Freedom the lesson we must learn
Do you know what I mean?
Have your eyes really seen?
Love is the key we must turn
Truth is the flame we must burn
Freedom the lesson we must learn
Do you know what I mean?
Have your eyes really seen? |
Baby Grace is the victim
She was 14 years of age
And the wheels are turning, turning
For the finger points at me
But I have not been to Oxford Town
No I have not been to Oxford Town
Toll the bell
Pay the private eye
20th century dies
And the prison priests are decent
My attorney seems sincere
I fear my days are numbered
Lord get me out of here
But I have not been to Oxford Town
But I have not been to Oxford Town
Toll the bell
Pay the private eye
20th century dies
This is your shadow on my wall
This is my flesh and blood
This is what I couldve been
And the wheels are turning and turning
As the Twentieth Century dies
If I had not ripped the fabric
If time had not stood still
If I had not met Ramona
If Id only paid my bill
I have not been to Oxford Town
But I have not been to Oxford Town
Toll the bell
Pay the private eye
20th century dies
This is my bunk with two sheets
This is my food though foul
This is what I could have been
Toll the bell
Pay the private eye
20th Century dies
Toll the bell
Pay the private eye
20th century dies
20th century dies
Alls well, alls well
Toll the bell
Pay the private eye
20th century dies
Toll the bell
Pay the private eye

Rubber Band
Theres a rubber band that plays tunes out of tune
In the library garden Sunday afternoon
While a little chappie waves a golden wand
Rubber Band
In 1910, I was so handsome and so strong
My moustache was stiffly waxed and one foot long
And I loved a girl while you played teatime tunes
Dear Rubber Band, youre playing my tune out of tune
Oh
Rubber Band
Wont you play a haunting theme again to me
While I eat my scones and drink my cup of tea?
The sun is warm but its a lonely afternoon
Rubber Band
How I wish that I could join your Rubber Band
We could play in lively parks throughout the land
And one Sunday afternoon, Id find my love
Rubber Band
In the 14-18 war I went to sea
Thought my Sunday love was waiting home for me
And now shes married to the leader of your band, oh
Oh yeah
I hope you break your baton |

Here is the news
According the latest world population survey
The figures have reached danger point, my god
London 15 million 75 thousand
New York 80 million
Paris 15 million and 30
China 1000 million
Billington-Spa: lots
My studies include exophagy
I formed my own society
To crush the power of fecundity
The world will overpopulate
Unless you claim infertility
So who will buy a drink for me, your Messiah
We are not your friends
We dont give a damn for what youre saying
Were here to live our lives
I propose to give the pill
Free of charge to those that feel
That they are not infertible
The crops are few, the cattle gone
Theres only one way to linger on
So who will buy a drink for me, your
Messiah
Achtung, achtung, these are your orders
Anyone found guilty of consuming more than their
Allotted amount of air
Will be slaughtered and cremated
One only cubic foot of air is
I have prepared a document, legalising mass abortion
We will turn a blind eye to infanticide
We are not your friends
We dont give a damn for what youre saying
Were here to live our lives
You dont seem to hear me clear
Do I talk about your sphere?
Let me explain my project dear
Show you how Ill save the world
Or let it die within the year
Why do you look that way at me, your messiah
We are not your friends
We dont give a damn for what youre saying
Were here to live our lives
We are hungry men
We dont give a damn for what youre saying
Were here to eat you |

Well, I aint gonna suck no radar wing
Because inside this tin is tin
Would you like to techno-plate cause Im your candidate, oh yeah

And the way you walk, youve got a BrylCream queen

In the things you talk, that keeps his passport clean
A matter of fact
That a cock aint a cock on a twelve inch screen
So Ill pretend Im walking home
You dont have to scream a lot to keep an age in tune
You dont have to scream a lot to predict monsoons
You dont have to paint my contact black
Now Ive hustled a pair of jeans

Turn and turn again
Turn and turn again
I shake
And stare at the sun
Til my eyes burn
I shake
At the mothers brutal vermin
I shake
And stare at the watery moon
With the same desire
As the sober Philistine
And I shake
Turn and turn again
Worm, the pain and blade
Turn and turn again
The screw
Is a tightening Atrocity
I shake
For the reeking flesh is as romantic as hell
The need
To have seen it all
The Voyeur of Utter Destruction
As beauty
I shake
Worm, the pain and blade
Turn and turn again
I shake
Turn and turn again
I shake

Like weeds on a rockface waiting for the scythe
Ricochet - ricochet
The world is on a corner waiting for jobs
Ricochet - ricochet
Turn the holy pictures so they face the wall
And who can bear to be forgotten
And who can bear to be forgotten
March of flowers, march of dimes
These are the prisons, these are the crimes
Men wait for news while thousands are still asleep
Dreaming of tramlines, factories, pieces of machinery
Mine shafts things like that.
March of flowers, march of dimes
These are the prisons, these are the crimes
Sound of thunder, sound of gold
Sound of the devil breaking parole
Ricochet - its not the end of the world
Sound of thunder, sound of gold
Sound of the devil breaking parole
Ricochet - ricochet
These are the prisons these are the crimes
Teaching life in a violent new way
Ricochet - ricochet
Turn the holy pictures so they face the wall
And who can bear to be forgotten
And who can bear to be forgotten
March of flowers, march of dimes
These are the prisons, these are the crimes
Early, before the sun
They struggle off to the gates
In their secret fearful places they see their lives
Unraveling before them
March of flowers - march of dimes
These are the prisons, these are the crimes
Sound of thunder, sound of gold
Sound of the devil breaking parole
Ricochet - its not the end of the world
Thats when they get home, damp eyed and weary
They smile and crush their children to their heaving chests
Making unfulfillable promises
For who can bear to be forgotten |
Lets dance, put on your red shoes and dance the blues
Lets dance, to the song theyre playin on the radio
Lets sway, while colour lights up your face
Lets sway, sway through the crowd to an empty space
If you say run, Ill run with you
And if you say hide, well hide
Because my love for you
Would break my heart in two
If you should fall
Into my arms
And tremble like a flower
Lets dance, for fear your grace should fall
Lets dance, for fear that life is all
Oh lets sway, you could look into my eyes
Lets sway, under the moonlight, this serious moonlight
If you say run, Ill run with you
And if you say hide, well hide
Because my love for you
Would break my heart in two
If you should fall
Into my arms
And tremble like a flower
If you should fall
Into my arms
And tremble like a flower
If you should fall
Into my arms
And tremble like a flower |
When I live my dream, Ill take you with me
Riding on a golden horse
Well live within my castle, with people there to serve you
Happy at the sound of your voice
Baby, Ill slay a dragon for you
Or banish wicked giants from the land
But you will find, that nothing in my dream can hurt you
We will only love each other as forever
When I live my dream
When I live my dream, Ill forgive the things youve told me
And the empty man you left behind
Its a broken heart that dreams, its a broken heart you left me
Only love can live in my dream
Ill wish, and the thunder clouds will vanish
Wish, and the storm will fade away
Wish again, and you will stand before me while the sky will paint an ouverture
And trees will play the rhythm of my dream
When I live my dream, please be there to meet me
Let me be the one to understand
When I live my dream, Ill forget the hurt you gave
Then we can live in our new land
Till the day my dream cascades around me
Im content to let you pass me by
Till that day, youll run to many other men
But let them know its just for now
Tell them that Ive got a dream
And tell them youre the starring role
Tell them Im a dreaming kind of guy
And Im going to make my dream
Tell them I will live my dream
Tell them they can laugh at me
But dont forget your date with me
When I live my dream |
Theres a little churchyard just along the way
It used to be Lambeths finest array
Of tombstones, epitaphs, wreaths, flowers, all that jazz
Till the war come along and someone dropped a bomb on the lot
And in this little yard, theres a little old man
With a little shovel in his little bitty hand
He seems to spend all his days puffing fags and digging graves
He hates the reverend vicar and he lives all alone in his home
Ah-choo, excuse me
Please Mr. Gravedigger, dont feel ashamed
As you dig little holes for the dead and the maimed
Please Mr. Gravedigger, I couldnt care
If you found a golden locket full of some girls hair
And you put it in your pocket
God, its pouring down
Her mother doesnt know about your sentimental joy
She thinks its down below with the rest of her toys
And Ma wouldnt understand, so I wont tell
So keep your golden locket all safely hid away in your pocket
Yes, Mr. GD, you see me every day
Say ah-choo!
Standing in the same spot by a certain grave
Mary-Ann was only 10 and full of life and oh so gay
And I was the wicked man who took her life away
Very selfish, oh God
No, Mr. GD, you wont tell
And just to make sure that you keep it to yourself
Ive started digging holes my friend
And this one heres for you
Lifted our girl, she apparently doesnt know of it
Hello misses, thought shed be a little girl
Bloody obscene, catch pneumonia or something in this rain... |

A lua inteira agora é um manto negro
O fim das vozes no meu rádio
São quatro ciclos no escuro deserto do céu
Quero um machado pra quebrar o gelo
Quero acordar do sonho agora mesmo
Quero uma chance de tentar viver sem dor
Sempre estar lá e ver ele voltar
Não era mais o mesmo, mas estava em seu lugar
Sempre estar lá e ver ele voltar
O tolo teme a noite como a noite vai temer o fogo
Vou chorar sem medo, vou lembrar do tempo
De onde eu via o mundo azul
A trajetória escapa o risco nu
As nuvens queimam o céu, nariz azul
Desculpe estranho, eu voltei mais puro do céu
Na lua o lado escuro é sempre igual
No espaço a solidão é tão normal
Desculpe estranho, eu voltei mais puro do céu
Sempre estar lá e ver ele voltar
Não era mais o mesmo, mas estava em seu lugar
Sempre estar lá e ver ele voltar
O tolo teme a noite como a noite vai temer o fogo
Vou chorar sem medo, vou lembrar do tempo |
Baby, dont you cry
Baby, Ill sing you a lullaby
Were walking down the street of chance
Where the chances are always slim or none
And the intentions unjust
Baby, theres nothing to see
Ive already been down the street of chance
Baby, youre so clean
Baby, please stay clean
Were walking down the street of chance
Where the chances are always slim or none
And the intentions unjust
Baby, theres nothing to see
Ive already been down the street of chance
Baby, youre so young
Baby, please stay young
Were walking down the street of chance
Where the chances are always slim or none
And the intentions unjust
Baby, theres nothing to see
Ive already been down the street of chance
Baby, dont you cry
Baby, Ive already cried
Were walking down the street of chance
The chances are always slim or none
And the intentions unjust |
Suddenly, all your historys ablaze
Try to breathe, as the world disintegrates
Just like autumn leaves, were in for change
Holding tenderly to what remains
And all your memories are as precious as gold
And all the honey and the fire which youve stole
Have you running through all your red-cheeked days
Shaking loose these souls from their sacred hiding space
Hold your heart courageously
As we walk into this dark place
Stand steadfast, erect and see
That love is the province of the brave
Pushed under this expanse of bursting stars
Let this burning brightly illuminate the where we are
In this hollow that lovers voices occupy
Let it follow that we let it free, let it fly
Breaking open the walls of this cage
Intoxicated, oh so amazed
Much like falcons tumbling from the heights at play
Conjoined, talons engaged
Hold these hearts courageously
As we walk into this dark place
Stand steadfast beside me and see
That love is the province of the brave |
Down where your paint is cracking
Look down your backstairs buddy
Somebodys living there and
He dont really feel the weather
And he dont share your pleasures
No, he dont share your pleasures
Did you see his eyes?
Did you see his crazy eyes?
And youre so surprised he doesnt run to catch your ash
Everybody always wants to kiss your trash
And you cant help him, no one can
And now that he knows
Theres nothing to get
Will you still place your bet
Against the Neighborhood Threat?
Somewhere a babys feeding
Somewhere a mothers needing
Outside her boy is trying
But mostly he is crying
Did you see his eyes?
Did you see his crazy eyes?
And youre so surprised he doesnt run to catch your ash
Everybody always wants to kiss your trash
But you cant help him, no one can
And now that he knows
Theres nothing to get
Not in this place
Not in your face
Will you still place your bet
Against the Neighborhood Threat? |

When I believed in nothing
I called her name
Trapped in a high-dollar joint
In some place
I called her name
And though my days were slipping by
And nights so cruel
I thought Id die
She danced her little dance til it made me cry
She was shaking like this honey doing that
When I needed soul revival
I called your name
When I was falling to pieces
I screamed in pain
Your soothing hand that turned me round
A love so real
Swept over me
You danced a little dance til it made me cry
She was shaking like this honey doing that
Never let me down
She never let me down
Never let me down
She never let me down
When all your faith is failing, call my name
When youve got nothing coming, call my name
Ill be strong for all it takes
Ill cover your head
Until the bad stuff breaks
Dance my little dance til it makes you smile
Shaking like this honey doing that
Never let you down
Ill never let you down
Ill never let you down
Ill never let you down
Oh no |
Your coat and hat are gone
I really cant look at your little empty shelf
A ragged teddy bear
It feels like we never had a chance
Dont look me in the eye
We lay in each others arms
But the room is just an empty space
I guess we lived it out, something in the air
We smiled too fast then cant think of a thing to say
Lived with the best times
Left with the worst
Ive danced with you too long
Nothing left to say
Lets take what we can
I know you hold your head up high
Weve raced for the last time
A place of no return
And theres something in the air
Something in my eye
Ive danced with you too long
Something in the air
Something in my eye
Abracadoo - I lose you
We cant avoid the clash, the big mistake
Now were going to pay and pay
The sentence of our lives
Cant believe Im asking you to go
We used what we could to get the things we want
But we lost each other on the way
I guess you know I never wanted
Anyone more than you
Lived all our best times
Left with the worst
Ive danced with you too long
Say what you will
But theres something in the air
Raced for the last time
Well I know you hold your head up high
Theres nothing we have to say, theres nothing in my eyes
But theres something in the air
Something in my eye
Ive danced with you too long
Theres something I have to say
Theres something in the air
Something in my eye
Ive danced with you too long |
Better take care
Think I better go, better get a room
Better take care of me
Again and again
I think about this and I think about personal history
Better take care
I breathe so deep when the movie gets real
When the star turns round
Again and again
He looks me in the eye says hes got his mind on a countdown
3-2-1
Forever
Im screaming that Im gonna be living on till the end of time
Forever
The sky splits open to a dull red skull
My head hangs low cause its all over now
And theres never gonna be enough money
And theres never gonna be enough drugs
And Im never ever gonna get old
Theres never gonna be enough bullets
Theres never gonna be enough sex
And Im never ever gonna get old
So Im never ever gonna get high
And Im never ever gonna get low
And Im never ever gonna get old
Better take care
The moon flows on to the edges of the world because of you
Again and again
And Im awake in an age of light living it because of you
Better take care
Im looking at the future solid as a rock because of you
Again and again
Want to be here and I wanna be there
Living just like you, living just like me
Forever
Putting on my gloves and bury my bones in the marshland
Forever
Think about my soul but I dont need a thing just the ring of the bell in the pure clean air
And Im running down the street of life
And Im never gonna let you die
And Im never ever gonna get old
And Im never ever gonna get
Im never ever gonna get
Im never ever gonna get old
And Im never ever gonna get
Im never ever gonna get
And Im never ever gonna get old
Im never ever gonna get
Never ever get old |
I had skin like leather and the diamond-hard look of a cobra
I was born blue and weathered but I burst just like a supernova
I could walk like Brando right into the sun and dance just like a Casanova
With my blackjack and jacket and my hair slicked sweet
Silver studs on my duds just like a Harley in heat
When I strut down the street I could hear its heartbeat
The sisters fell back and said, Dont that man look pretty
The cripple on the corner cried out, Penny, nickels for your pity
Them gasoline boys downtown, they sure talk gritty
Its so hard to be a saint in the city
I was a king of the alley, mama, I could talk some trash
I was a prince of the paupers, crowned downtown at the Beggars Bash
I was a pimps main prophet, I kept everything cool
Just a backstreet gambler with the luck to lose
And when the heat came down it was left on the ground, mama
Devil appeared to me like Jesus through the steam in the street
And showed me a hand that even the cops couldnt beat
And I felt his hot breath on my neck as I dove into the heat
Its so hard to be a saint when youre just a boy out on the street
And the sages of the subway sit just like the living dead
As the tracks clack out the rhythm, the eyes fixed straight ahead
They ride the line of balancing, hold on by just a thread
Well, its too hot in these tunnels, you can get hit up by the heat
When you get up to get out at your next stop, but they push you back down in your seat
And your heart starts beating faster as you struggle to your feet
Then youre out of that hole, back on the street
And them southside sisters, they sure look pretty
And the cripple on the corner cries out, Nickels for your pity
And them downtown boys, they sure talk gritty
Its so hard to be a saint in the city |

Stomping along
On this big Philip Johnson
Is delay just wasting my time
Looking across at Richard Rogers
Scheming dreams to blow both their minds
Its difficult you see
To give up baby
To leave a job
When you know
You know the moneys from day to day
All the majesty of a city landscape
All the soaring days in our lives
All the concrete dreams
In my minds eye
All the joy I see
Thru these architects eyes
Cold winter bleeds
On the girders of Babel
This stone boy watching the crawling land
Rings of flesh and the towers of iron
The steaming caves and the rocks and the sand
Stomping along on this big Philip Johnson
Is delay just wasting my time
Its difficult you see
To give up baby
These summer scumholes
This goddamned starving life
All the majesty of a city landscape
All the soaring days in our lives
All the concrete dreams
In my minds eye
All the joy I see
Thru these architects eyes
Its difficult you see
Its difficult you see
All the majesty of a city landscape
All the soaring days in our lives
All the concrete dreams
In my minds eye
All the joy I see
Thru these architects eyes |
Tragic youth was looking young and sexy
The tragic youth was wearing tattered black jeans
Bearing arms and flaunting all her mischief
The tragic youth was going down on me
And I swear
Woo hoo
Yes I swear
I built a wall of sound to separate us
And hid among the junk of wretched highs
I sped from Planet X to Planet Alpha
Struggling for reality
Ha ha ha ha
Woo hoo
Ha ha ha ha
Whoo hoo
Hey, now my sight is failing in this twilight
Da da da da da da da da da
Now my death is more than just a sad song
Da da da da da da da da da
And I swear
Woo hoo
Yes I swear
Woo hoo
I still dont remember how this happened
I still dont get the wherefores and the whys
I look for sense but I get next to nothing
Hey boy welcome to reality
Ha ha ha ha
Woo hoo
Ive been right and Ive been wrong
Now Im back where I started from
Never looked over realitys shoulder
Ha ha ha ha
Huh ha ha ha
Woo hoo
Huh ha ha
Wooh
Woo hoo
Wooh |
Here comes success
Over my hill
Here comes success
Here comes my car
Here comes my Chinese rug
Here comes success
In the last ditch
Ill think of you
In the last ditch
I will be true
Sweetheart Im telling you
Here comes the zoo
Here comes success
Oh, hooray success
Oh oh success
I cant help myself
I just got to, got to, got to
I cant stand it...
Here comes my face
Its plain bizarre
Here comes my face
Out of the crowd
Sweetheart Im telling you
Here comes the zoo
In the last ditch
Here comes success
Here comes success
Im going to do the twist
Im moved, man, Im wigged
Im crazy, Im going to
Alright! Baby, lets blast off
Blast off on success
Oh you slay me
Im going to do the twist
Im going to hop like a frog
Im going to go out on the street and do anything I want
Oh, shit! |
I saw my baby
She was turning blue
I knew that soon
Her young life was through
And so I got down on my knees
Down by her bed
And these are the words
To her I said
Everything will be alright tonight
Everyone will be alright tonight
No one moves
No one talks
No one thinks
No one walks tonight
Tonight
Everything will be alright tonight
Everything will be alright tonight
No one moves
No one talks
No one thinks
No one walks tonight
Tonight
I am going to love you until the end
I will love you until I reach the end
I will love you until I die
I will see you in the sky
Tonight |
La la la la la la, la la la la la la la
A winters day, a bitter snowflake on my face
My summer girl takes little backward steps away
Jack Frost took her hand and left me, Jack Frost aint so cool
Sell me a coat with buttons of silver
Sell me a coat thats red or gold
Sell me a coat with little patch pockets
Sell me a coat because I feel cold
And when she smiles, the ice forgets to melt away
Not like before, her smile was warm in yesterday
See the trees like silver candy, feel my icy hand
Sell me a coat with buttons of silver
Sell me a coat thats red or gold
Sell me a coat with little patch pockets
Sell me a coat because I feel cold
See my eyes, my window pane
See my tears like gentle rain
Thats the memory of the summer day
Sell me a coat with buttons of silver
Sell me a coat thats red or gold
Sell me a coat with little patch pockets
Sell me a coat because I feel cold
Sell me a coat with buttons of silver
Sell me a coat thats red or gold
Sell me a coat with little patch pockets
Sell me a coat because I feel cold
La la la la la la |
Honey, honey
Alright
A girl will steer you wrong
A song can drive you blind
I move to master my machine
And I will not stand in line
Sick boy, sick boy, going wrong
Memory losing grip
Baby, I wanna take you out with me
Come along on my death trip
Come on my death trip
Honey honey, honey my death trip
Tell me, do you care for me?
Once I cared for you
Honey, come and be my enemy so I can love you true
A sick boy, sick boy, fading out, learning to be cruel
Baby, whip me in the heat
Turn me loose on you
Loose on you, honey, loose on you
Honey, loose on you, honey, loose on you
Turn me, turn me loose on you
Turn me, baby, loose on you
Turn me
Said Im with you, youre with me
Honey, were going down in history
Were going down
Blow my cool, bite my lip
See me through on my death trip
Free this slave, hear me sing
You can save me, everything
Save me, save me, save me, save me, save me
I say Ill stick you, you stick me
Say Ill rip you, you rip me |
Ive been looking, Ive been looking
Ive been looking, Ive been looking
Ive been looking
For a woman
To save my life
Not to beg or to borrow
A woman with a feeling
Of losing once or twice
Who knows how it could be
Be tomorrow
Ive been waiting for you
And youve been coming to me
For such a long time now
For such a long time now
A woman with a feeling
Of losing once or twice
Who knows how it could be
Be tomorrow
Ive been waiting for you
And youve been coming to me
For such a long time now
For such a long time now
For such a long time now
For such a long time now |
Yeah, yeah, baby, yeah
Yeah, yeah, baby, yeah
Yeah, yeah, baby, yeah
Yeah
Dont sit down
Dont sit down
Dont sit down |
