You think we look pretty good together
You think my shoes are made of leather But I'm a substitute for another guy I look pretty tall but my heels are high The simple things you see are all complicated I look pretty young, but I'm just back-dated, yeah Substitute your lies for fact I can see right through your plastic mac I look all white, but my dad was black My fine looking suit is really made out of sack I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth The north side of my town faced east, and the east was facing south And now you dare to look me in the eye Those crocodile tears are what you cry It's a genuine problem, you won't try To work it out at all you just pass it by, pass it by Substitute me for him Substitute my coke for gin Substitute you for my mum At least I'll get my washing done |

I don't mind other guys dancing with my girl
That's fine, I know them all pretty well But I know sometimes I must get out in the light Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright The kids are alright Sometimes, I feel I gotta get away Bells chime, I know I gotta get away And I know if I don't, I'll go out of my mind Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright The kids are alright I know if I go things would be a lot better for her I had things planned, but her folks wouldn't let her I don't mind other guys dancing with my girl That's fine, I know them all pretty well But I know sometimes I must get out in the light Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright The kids are alright Sometimes, I feel I gotta get away Bells chime, I know I gotta get away And I know if I don't, I'll go out of my mind Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright The kids are alright |

There's nothing in the way I walk that could tell you where I'm going,
There's nothing in the words I speak that can betray anything I'm knowing, Don't think about the way I dress, you can fit me on a labelled shelf, Don't pretend that you know me 'cause I don't even know myself, Ooh I don't know myself. I don't mind if you try once in a while, I don't mind if I cry once in a while, The doors aren't shut as tight as they might seem, I'm just trying to fight my way out of this dream. Don't listen to the words I say, weighing up if I'm enlightened, Don't shiver as you pass me by, 'cause mister I'm the one who's frightened, The police just came and left, they wanted me and no one else, Don't pretend that you know me 'cause I don't even know myself, I said I don't know myself. I don't mind if you try once in a while, I don't mind if I cry once in a while, The doors aren't shut as tight as they might seem, I'm just trying to fight my way out of this dream. Do you remember me, I don't remember you, Do you still love me, you know I think you do, I have been gone, and some prison warder knows my scream, I'm just trying to fight my way out of this dream. There's only five who know my real name, And my mother don't believe they know it, What she called me is the way I'm staying, And no one'll ever know it, Come on all of you big boys, come on all of you elves, Don't pretend that you know me 'cause I don't even know myself, I said I don't know myself. I don't mind if you try once in a while, And I don't mind if I cry once in a while. |

Happy Jack wasn't old, but he was a man.
He lived in the sand at the Isle of Man. The kids would all sing, he would take the wrong key, So they rode on ahead on their furry donkey. The kids couldn't hurt Jack, They tried, tried, tried. They dropped things on his back, They lied, lied, lied, lied, lied. But they couldn't stop Jack, 'or the waters lapping, And they couldn't prevent Jack from being happy. But they couldn't stop Jack, 'or the waters lapping, And they couldn't prevent Jack from being happy. The kids couldn't hurt Jack, They tried, tried, tried. They dropped things on his back They lied, lied, lied, lied, lied. But they couldn't stop Jack, 'or the waters lapping. And they couldn't prevent Jack from being happy. (I saw ya!) |

See that girl who's smiling so brightly,
Well I reckon she's cool and I reckon rightly, She's good looking and I ain't frightened, I'm gonna show you why they call me lightning. Hey little girl who's dancing so lightly, My XKE is shining so brightly, The noose around us is slowly tightening, I'm gonna show you why they call me lightning. Hey little girl who's dancing so lightly, My XKE is shining so brightly, The noose around us is slowly tightening, I'm gonna show you why they call me lightning. You can't catch me, I'm as fast as can be, Call me lightning, I'm as fast as can be, No you can't catch me, no you can't catch me. |

I call you on the telephone my voice too rough with cigarettes. I sometimes thing I should just go home but I'm dealing with a memory that never forgets I love to hear you say my name especially when you say yes I got your body right now on my mind and I drunk myself b-lind to the sound of old T-Rex To the sound of old T-Rex - who's next? [Chorus:] When I say I love you you say you better You better you better you bet When I say I need you you say you better You better you better you bet You better bet your life Or love will cut you like a knife I want those feeble minded axes overthrown I'm not into your passport picture I just like your nose You welcome me with open arms and open legs I know only fools have needs but this one never begs I don't really mind how much you love me A little is really alright When you say come over and spend the night Tonight [Chorus: (as above)] I lay on the bed with you We could make some book of records Your dog keeps licking my nose And chewing up all those letters Saying "you better" You better bet your life You better love me, all the time now You better shove me back into line now You better love me, all the time now You better shove me back into line now. I showed up late one night with a neon light for a visa But knowing I'm so eager to fight can't make letting me in any easier I know tha~t I been wearing crazy clothes and I look pretty crappy Sometime But my body feels so good and I still sing a razor line everytime. And when it comes to all night living I know what I'm giving I've got it all down to a t |

Local Lad:
Ever since I was a young boy, I've played the silver ball. )From Soho down to Brighton I must have played them all. But I ain't seen nothing like him In any amusement hall... That deaf dumb and blind kid Sure plays a mean pin ball ! He stands like a statue, Becomes part of the machine. Feeling all the bumpers Always playing clean. He plays by intuition, The digit counters fall. That deaf dumb and blind kid Sure plays a mean pin ball ! He's a pin ball wizard There has got to be a twist. A pin ball wizard, S'got such a supple wrist. 'How do you think he does it? I don't know! What makes him so good?' He ain't got no distractions Can't hear those buzzers and bells, Don't see lights a flashin' Plays by sense of smell. Always has a replay, 'n' never tilts at all... That deaf dumb and blind kid Sure plays a mean pin ball. I thought I was The Bally table king. But I just handed My pin ball crown to him. Even my usual table He can beat my best. His disciples lead him in And he just does the rest. He's got crazy flipper fingers Never seen him fall... That deaf dumb and blind kind Sure plays a mean pin ball.!!!!! |

I'M FREE- I'm free, And freedom tastes of reality, I'm free-I'm free, AN' I'm waiting for you to follow me. If I told you what it takes to reach the highest high, You'd laugh and say 'nothing's that simple' But you've been told many times before Messiahs pointed to the door And no one had the guts to leave the temple! I'm free-I'm free And freedom tastes of reality I'm free-I'm free And I'm waiting for you to follow me. [Chorus:] How can we follow? How can we follow? |

See me, feel me, heal me
Listening to you I get the music Gazing at you I get the heat Following you I climb the mountain I get excitement at your feet Right behind you I see the millions On you I see the glory From you I get opinions From you I get the story |

When you hear this sound a-comin'
Hear the drummer drumming Won't you join together with the band We don't move in any 'ticular direction And we don't make no collections Won't you join together with the band. Do you really think I care What you eat or what you wear Won't you join together with the band There's a million ways to laugh Ev'ry one's a path Won't you join together with the band. Everybody join together Won't you join together Come on and join together with the band We need to join together Won't you join together Come on and join together with the band. You don't have to play You can follow or lead the way Won't you join together with the band We don't know where we're going But the season's right for knowing Won't you join together with the band. It's the singer not the song That makes the music move along Won't you join together with the band This is the biggest band you'll find It's as deep as it is wide Won't you join together with the band. Ev'rybody join together ... etc. |

Who are you?
Who who who who? Who are you? Who who who who? Who are you? Who who who who? Who are you? Who who who who? I woke up in a Soho doorway A policeman knew my name He said ″You can go sleep at home tonight If you can get up and walk away″ I staggered back to the underground And the breeze blew back my hair I remember throwin′ punches around And preachin′ from my chair chorus: Well, who are you? (Who are you? Who who who who?) I really wanna know (Who are you? Who who who who?) Tell me, who are you? (Who are you? Who who who who?) ′Cause I really wanna know (Who are you? Who who who who?) I took the tube back out of town Back to the Rollin′ Pin I felt a little like a dying clown With a streak of Rin Tin Tin I stretched back and I hiccupped And looked back on my busy day Eleven hours in the Tin Pan God, there′s got to be another way Who are you? Ooh wa ooh wa ooh wa ooh wa.. Who are you? Who who who who? Who are you? Who who who who? Who are you? Who who who who? Who are you? Who who who who? (chorus) I know there′s a place you walked Where love falls from the trees My heart is like a broken cup I only feel right on my knees I spit out like a sewer hole Yet still recieve your kiss How can I measure up to anyone now After such a love as this? Who are you? Who, who, who, who? Who are you? Who, who, who, who? Who are you? Who, who, who, who? Who are you? Who, who, who, who? I woke up in a Soho doorway A policeman knew my name He said ″You can go sleep at home tonight If you can get up and walk away″ I staggered back to the underground And the breeze blew back my hair I remember throwin′ punches around And preachin′ from my chair chorus: Well, who are you?

We'll be fighting in the streets With our children at our feet And the morals that they worship will be gone And the men who spurred us on Sit in judgement of all wrong They decide and the shotgun sings the song I'll tip my hat to the new constitution Take a bow for the new revolution Smile and grin at the change all around Pick up my guitar and play Just like yesterday Then I'll get on my knees and pray We don't get fooled again The change, it had to come We knew it all along We were liberated from the foe, that's all And the world looks just the same And history ain't changed 'Cause the banners, they'd all flown in the last war I'll tip my hat to the new constitution Take a bow for the new revolution Smile and grin at the change all around Pick up my guitar and play Just like yesterday Then I'll get on my knees and pray We don't get fooled again No, no! I'll move myself and my family aside If we happen to be left half alive I'll get all my papers and smile at the sky For I know that the hypnotized never lie Do ya? Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! There's nothing in the street Looks any different to me And the slogans are out-phased, by-the-bye And the party on the left Is now party on the right And their beards have all grown longer overnight I'll tip my hat to the new constitution Take a bow for the new revolution Smile and grin at the change all around Pick up my guitar and play Just like yesterday Then I'll get on my knees and pray We don't get fooled again Don't get fooled again No, no! Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Meet the new boss Same as the old boss |
