It's a higher state of being
A different way of seeing That I really can't resist It seems I've stolen every scene From the carnival of dreams And I've never felt like this I've never felt like this Never felt like this Never felt like this And ignorance is bliss There's no point in reminiscing Now I've found that something missing In every stolen kiss I was lost in introspection I can tell you on reflection That I've never felt like this I've never felt like this Never felt like this Never felt like this Never felt like this What you are is a fallen star Burning up on a bridge to far What I am is an also ran Getting by any way I can I can because I can I can't explain exactly how I feel I only know that the feeling's real I've never felt like this What you are is a falling star |

I slept in the subway
Just for a ruse No stars for company Just a bottle of booze See my lifestyle ain't changed much I just take more risks That's remarkably easy When you're remarkably pissed Good times, bad times Talking blues and spinning rhymes And this is where mine is at This is where mine is at Through strange times, deranged times I've only taken what was mine And this is where mine is at This is where mine is at I moved to the country Bought a rooster and hen It's just the drink talking I've been at it again See I love to bullshit Though I'm more honest than most As I write from my cottage On the Derbyshire coast Good times, bad times Talking blues and spinning rhymes And this is where mine is at This is where mine is at Through strange times, deranged times I've only taken what was mine And this is where mine is at This is where mine is at The lies that I swallowed Force fed as a child A promise so hollow My anger, my bile Now my head is swimming The heather's on fire The bottle's been opened But the genie's expired Good times, bad times Talking blues and spinning rhymes And this is where mine is at This is where mine is at Through strange times, deranged times I've only taken what was mine And this is where mine is at This is where mine is at This is where mine is coming from This is where mine is at |

Watching the world from the corner of your eye
You're quite content to let life pass you by You're numb to everything and everyone You've no idea You've no idea You're wondering about the meaning of within You furrow your brow and then you scratch your chin Night Falls Yet still you stall Confound it all You've no idea You've no idea You can't buy into the underground Not for all your dollars, your yens or your pounds You see, I saw you coming Your plan was bound to fail Cos the devil's in the detail And the detail's not for sale The detail's not for sale You've no idea |

I've been doing a power of thinking
The Good Ship Lollipop is sinking But I've been having such a good time Just watching from the shoreline Call waiting on the telephone Only problem being the phone is off the hook And besides, there's no-one home All except in the backrooom I'm operating in a vacuum I'm going back to the backroom I'm operating in a vacuum Revolution on the South Bank I poured poison in the think tank Got out before the big crash Caught the tail end of the whiplash Reminiscing with the diehards Uptight with the old guard Saying out of the spotlight Don't get blinded by the spotlight I'm going back to the backroom I'm operating in a vacuum I'm going back to the backroom I'm operating in a vacuum On the Good Ship Lollipop It's a nice trip to the candy shop But the key to your success Was the key to your excess Was the key to your success Was the key to your excess Going back to the backroom I'm operating in a vacuum |

To anyone who's followed me
I offer my apologies I'm splitting up I can't afford to compromise With someone I don't recognise I'm splitting up The idea first occurred to me While shaving rather cautiously Cos I bleed easily My head is searating from my heart I'm splitting up The crocodiles will shed their tears While other reptiles sneer and jeer He's splitting up The notices, lest we forget Are posted on the internet He's splitting up I can't say I went out in style My differences unreconciled Embittered to the end Neither moving nor affecting All I'm doing is disconnecting I'm splitting up What's it all about? Haven't got a clue Only thing I know It isn't down to you To decide these things Still you carry on Still you scream and shout I know that it's wrong I haven't got the clout To deride these things But if my hearthad wings' I'd fly away To anyone who's followed me I offer my apologies I'm splitting up I'm feeling down I'm feeling down I'm splitting up I'm feeling down I'm feeling down I'm splitting up |

Now that you've broke your heart
How long before the teardrops start? And 'til those tears subside You'd better find some place to hide If you don't wanna feel Just make believe that nothing's real And if you don't wanna cry Just wait until those tears run dry Oooh oooh oooh Johnny Teardrop Oooh oooh oooh Johnny Teardrop When you don't wanna think You pour yourself another drink You make like you're getting high When really you're just getting by You say you don't wana know You make as if it's time to go You say you don't wanna cry Well wait until those tears run dry Oooh oooh oooh Johnny Teardrop Oooh oooh oooh Johnny Teardrop It's his tears that turn you on Johnny Teardrop It's his tears that turn you on Johnny Teardrop |

Hello chaos my old friend
We finally got there in the end I found a loophole in the law I stumbled then I crawled through Never frightened that that noose would tighten I felt enlightened My senses heightened Yet all this time you've been inclined To watch me from the sidelines Miles from the frontline Hoping that some sniper Had picked off this magic piper To shoot the messenger That's what's obsessing ya You only kick me when I'm down When I get up you come around You come around, you say I'm great You're only twenty years too late Well where I lived Don't make no bones Was several feet below a stone Far from appalled I was enthralled The snake that slithered learned to crawl Through the quagmire of my mislaid plans That backfired I felt enlightened My senses heightened You called me up To wish me luck To let me know this business sucks Let's change it Let's rearrange it So why do I get the feeling That there's something you're concealing? That it's a put on You scratch your foot on You only kick me when I'm down When I get up you come around You come around, you say I'm great You're only twenty years too late Did I do something to make you hate me? It's funny how you thought you'd break me You're too late Too much Too soon How high The moon Too little Toolate Too bad That's the breaks |

It's a funny thing
A funny phase I'm going through As I drift through space Nothing left to cling to Don't think me morose I've always been a tryer Now here's what I propose I gonna take you higher It's a funny thing I'm wondering what tomorrow might bring If it's more of the same I've only got myself to blame That's a funny thing It's a funny world When you drift above it An opalescent pearl I could grow to love it IfI fall from grace Will I land upon my feet? Now I've acquired a taste The air up here seems oh so sweet And that's a funny thing I'm wondering what tomorrow might bring If it's more of the same I've only got myself to blame That's a funny thing It's a funny thing Don't think me morose I've always been a tryer Now here's what I propose I gonna take you higher It's a funny thing Such a funny thing |

Showing out again
Like some famous flame Showing off ahain Lack of common sense Your mind's exploding Cos life keeps loading on you The sky is falling The void is calling on you Shooooh shooooh Calling on you Moving out again Packed some common sense Hit the road again To the bitter end (and it never ends) The road is calling But life keeps stalling on you The stars are falling The void is calling on you Shooooh shooooh Calling on you Pompous politician Bug-eyed with conceit Found a hole in purgatory To practice his deceit And how he duped the masses Who held him in esteem What he calls reality For them is just a dream What's possessing you What's obsessing you What's obsessing you Is possessing you I'm calling I'm calling Calling on you I'm calling I'm calling Calling on you |
