All men have secrets and here is mine
So let it be known We have been through hell and high tide, I can surely rely on you? And yet you start to recoil, heavy words are so lightly thrown But still I'd leap in front of a flying bullet for you So, what difference does it make? So, what difference does it make? It makes none but you have gone and you must be looking very old tonight The devil will find work for idle hands to do I stole and I lied, and why? because you asked me to! But now you make feel so ashamed because I've only got two hands well, I'm still fond of you So, what difference does it make? It makes none but you have gone and your prejudice won't keep you warm tonight The devil will find work for idle hands to do I stole and I lied, and why? Just because you asked me to! But you know the truth about me you won't see me anymore, I'm still fond of you So, no more apologies no more apologies I'm too tired I'm too sick and tired and I'm feeling very sick and ill today But I'm still fond of you |

We stood in your room and laughed out loud.
Suddenly the laughter died and we were caught in an eye to eye. We sat on the floor and did we sit close. I could smell your thoughts and thought. Do you want to touch a lot like me? Too scared to say a thing. I left your house and kicked myself. I put those feelings on a shelf to die. I guess I'm not a gambling type but think of what the two of us had lost. Had lost. I needed some time to think it out. 7-Eleven parking lot. A toothless woman turned and stopped. I gave her a dime and a Chesterfield. She leaned down and kissed my cheek. I was scared but it felt sweet. Felt so sweet. She asked me if I had a name. I told her I was glued up on some chick. We sat and smoked against the wall. Drank a beer, felt the chill of fall. Of Fall. I took my car and drove it down the hill by your house. I drove so fast. The wind it couldn't cool me down, so I turned it around and came back up. You were waiting on your step, steam showing off your breath and water in your eyes. We pulled each other into one, parkas clinging on the lawn and kissed right there. Said all my chicks they smoke these things and handed you a Chesterfield King. Held your hand and watched tv and traced the little lines along your palm. Your palm. I took my car and drove it down the hill by your house. I drove so fast. The wind it couldn't cool me down, so I turned it around and came back up. You were waiting on your step, steam showing off your breath and water in your eyes. We pulled each other into one, parkas clinging on the lawn and kissed right there. Right there. |

I'm standing here on the ground
The sky above won't fall down See no evil in all direction Resolution of happiness Things have been dark For too long Don't change for you Don't change a thing for me I found a love I had lost It was gone for too long Hear no evil in all directions Execution of bitterness Message received loud and clear Don't change for you Don't change a thing for me |

Seen the carnival at Rome
Had the women I had the booze All I can remember now Is little kids without no shoes So I saw that train And I got on it With a heartful of hate And a lust for vomit Now I'm walking on the sunnyside of the street Stepped over bodies in Bombay Tried to make it to the U.S.A. Ended up in Nepal Up on the roof with nothing at all And I knew that day I was going to stay Right where I am, on the sunnyside of the street Been in a palace, been in a jail I just don't want to be reborn a snail Just want to spend eternity Right where I am, on the sunnyside of the street As my mother wept it was then I swore To take my life as I would a whore I know I'm better than before I will not be reconstructed Just wanna stay right here, on the sunnyside of the street On the sunnyside of the street |

One fine day in my odd past
I picked me up a transmission I turned the fission ignition Went looking for the broadcaster And when i first touched some ground They simply told me leave Was kind of hard to believe 'Cause there was not one around This ain't the planet of sound This ain't the planet of sound This ain't the planet of sound This ain't the planet of sound I had a talented wine That land o' classical gas And on the planet of glass They sent me skipping through time I got to somewhere renowned For its canals and color of red And lots of guys who shook their heads Rhythmically to resound This ain't the planet of sound This ain't the planet of sound This ain't the planet of sound This ain't the planet of sound This ain't no rock and roll town This ain't no fuckin' around This ain't no planet of sound I met a guy in a rover He said it's one more over It's just there where you're bound This ain't the planet of sound This ain't the planet of sound This ain't the planet of sound This ain't the planet of sound |

When we have nothing left to give
There will be no reason for us to live But when we have nothing left to lose You will have nothing left to use We owe you nothing You have no control Merchandise keeps us in line Common sense says it's by design What could a businessman ever want more Than to have us sucking in his store We owe you nothing You have no control You are not what you own |

Another time
Time after time You make me feel so helpless I I never tried to change your mind I keep it to myself It's sometimes I've got to tell you Is it this time I'll tell you We've got to go to places Somewhere I don't mind it's special And now you find as time goes by You're left with nothing Meaning much The meaning I will have to try To take your mind to places I wish that I could help you But you seem less than helpless I always tried to tell you Someday that it'd seem so special Time after time What's on your mind You make me feel so helpless I You never tried what's on your mind You make me feel so helpless I I feel so helpless I You're left alone with something And I hope for you it's one thing That something you and yours can hold And hold as something special And now you find as time goes by You're left with nothing meaning much The meaning I will have to try What's on your mind so helpless I I feel so helpless I |

A police car and a screaming siren
A pnuematic drill and ripped up concrete A baby waiting and stray dog howling The screech of brakes and lamplights blinking That's entertainment A smash of glass and the rumble of boots An electric train and a ripped up 'phone booth Paint splattered walls and the cry of a tomcat Lights going out and a kick in the balls That's entertainment Days of speed and slow time Mondays Pissing down with rain on a boring Wednesday Watching the news and not eating your tea A freezing cold flat and damp on the walls That's entertainment Waking up at 6 a.m. on a cool warm morning Opening the windows and breathing in petrol An amateur band rehearsing in a nearby yard Watching the tele and thinking about your holidays That's entertainment Waking up from bad dreams and smoking cigarettes Cuddling a warm girl and smelling stale perfume A hot summers' day and sticky black tarmac Feeding ducks in the park and wishing you were faraway That's entertainment Two lovers kissing amongst the scream of midnight Two lovers missing the tranquility of solitude Getting a cab and travelling on buses Reading the grafitti about slashed seat affairs That's entertainment |

Only came outside to watch the nightfall with the rain
I heard you making patterns rhyme like Some new romantic looking for the tv sound You'll see I'm right some other time look now Look all around, there's not sign of life Voices, another sound Can you hear me now? This is Planet Earth, you're looking at Planet Earth bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop This is Planet Earth My head is stuck on something precious let me know If you're coming down to land is there Anybody out there trying to get through? My eyes are so cloudy I can't see you Look now, look all around, there's no sign of Life voices, another sound Can you hear me now? This is Planet Earth You're looking at Planet Earth bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop This is Planet Earth bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop This calling Planet Earth bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop This looking at Planet Earth bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop This is Planet Earth |

I've never seen you look like this without a reason
Another promise fallen through Another season passes by you I never took the smile away from anybody's face And that's a desperate way to look For someone who is still a child In a big country dreams stay with you Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside Stay alive I thought that pain and truth were things that really mattered But you can't stay here with every single hope you had shattered I'm not expecting to grow flowers in a desert But I can live and breathe And see the sun in wintertime In a big country dreams stay with you Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside Stay alive Stay alive So take that look out of here it doesn't fit you Because it's happened doesn't mean you've been discarded Pull up your head off the floor—come up screaming Cry out for everything you ever might have wanted I thought that pain and truth were things that really mattered But you can't stay here with every single hope you had shattered I'm not expecting to grow flowers in a desert But I can live and breathe And see the sun in wintertime In a big country dreams stay with you Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside Stay alive In a big country dreams stay with you Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside Stay alive In a big country dreams stay with you Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside Stay alive |
