I want to say yes to what you say
If there's a movement then I want to sway
Get a piece of the action, uh huh
And I want to see you in the crowd
And I want to point your face out very loud
Get a piece of the action, uh huh
Don't you want a piece of the action
Don't you want a piece of the action
Yeah...oh yeah...
'Sex-o-fact' it slips in vogue
Sells a star, furnishes your home
You get a piece of the action, uh huh
Violence on the silver screen
You got the most fashionable death since James Dean
You get a piece of the action, uh huh

She never has to stop and think
Never makes you lose a thing
She is so enchanting
I always have to stop a while
Cross my hands and close my eyes
I am so demanding
When she smiles she opens wide
Touching you inside to lie
Life can be so shaking handed
Nervously you're shaking signs
Life is better taken blind
Still you're left so disenchanted
Giving it all away
Giving it all away
You always have to stop and think
Desperately to find something
That is even handed
I never want to think a thing
That shatters almost everything
Life can leave you hanging

Isolated junkyard
Letting out the garbage
Eating through the core of life
Sweet fragrance irritates
In a stale room death awaits
Persecute your own self pride
Suffocate the new high
Ride a thorny mule that cries
Dig your grave and jump right in
Like a Judas pay the price
Thirty pieces for a ride
Here's the fire now take a chew
Do yourself a favour
Educate your mind
Get yourself together
Hey, Oh there ain't no time
Shredded know how gives away
Species of the human race
Those funky winds of ups and downs
Hall of grit is known too well
Heaven still is your hell
Poison slowly slowly drowns
Let the devil step right in
Lucifer's your only friend
Ain't a soul gonna pity you
Hurdle over time to death
With open arms it waits I bet
Don't you wish you could reach ground

And if I could hold you
Where would you belong
And if I could listen
To half the words you say
Would your pathway glisten
And help you on your way
Oh you?ve got it bad
But you never should expect cover
Oh you?ve got it so bad
Worse than any other
If I was in your shoes
Would it be the same
Would you sit in silence
While I dish out the blame
And if the world was laughing
Would you close your ears
There is no creed of chanting
To make the world more clear
If I brought you flowers
Would you watch them grow
Springtime is for certain
To follow on the snow
Oh you?ve got it bad
But you never should expect cover
Oh you?ve got it so bad
Worse than any other
Oh you?ve got it bad
But you never should expect cover
Oh you?ve got it so so bad
Worse than any other

to moonn6pence from shootingstar
Never saw it as the start its more a change of heart
Rapping on the windows, whistling down the chimney pot
Blowing off the dust in the room where I forgot
I laid my plans in solid rock
Stepping through the door like a troubadour whiling just an hour away
Looking at the trees on the roadside feeling its a holiday.
You and I should ride the coast and wind up in our favourite coats just miles away.
Roll a number, write another song like
Jimmy heard the day he caught the train
Ooooh la la
Ooooh la la
Ooooh la la
Ooooh la
He sips another rum and coke and told a dirty joke
Walking like Groucho sucking on a number 10
Rolling on the floor with the cigarette burns walked in
I missed the crush and I'm home again
Stepping through the door with the night in store whiling just an hour away
Step into the sky in the starbright feeling its a brighter day.
You and I should ride the coast and wind up in our favourite coats just miles away.
Roll a number, write another song like
Jimmy heard the day he caught the train
Ooooh la la
Ooooh la la
Ooooh la la
Ooooh la
You and I should ride the tracks and find ourselves just wading through tomorrow
and you and I when we're coming down we're only getting back
And you know I feel no sorrow.
Ooooh la la
Ooooh la la
Ooooh la la
Ooooh la la
When you find that things are getting wild don't you want days like these.
When you find that things are getting wild don't you need days like these
When you find that things are getting wild don't you need days like these
When you find that things are getting wild don't you need days like these I say
Ooooh la la
Ooooh la la
Ooooh la la

So I said I'm on the roam so I need a car
And I know that I'm getting alive
And I say I got faith and a season
And I say that's where I'm going to
I get a need and I'm wanting to please it
I gotta face and I'm wanting to feel it
The more I feel is the more that I need it
The more I need is the less I believe it
Well I want a good love by my side
Keep on getting out of love and my pride
And I know I keep hurting my love yeah
But I know it ain't killing
I get a need and I'm wanting to please it
I gotta face and I'm wanting to feel it
The more I feel is the more that I need it
The more I need is the less I believe it
So I said I'm on the roam so I need a car
And I know that I'm staying alive
And I say I got faith and a season
And I say that's where I'm going to
I get a need and I'm wanting to please it
I gotta face and I'm wanting to feel it
The more I feel is the more that I need it
The more I need is the less I believe it
I get a need and I'm wanting to please it
I gotta face and I'm wanting to feel it
The more I feel is the more that I need it
The more I need is the less I believe it

Where do you go
Buttoned in your favourite coat
Stepping out to a different world
When you might be home late
And where are you now
Staring at your favourite box
The one with the travellers cross
On the road past the gate
But if you find yourself standing on the corner
While your thinking of a different world
Then you might see me waiting on the corner
Staring through you in a different world
But if I could swim
Then I?d go out and find my boat
Sail away to my favourite coast
And let you all in
And if I could do, all the things you?re asking for
Then maybe I?d find your door
And bring it home to you
But if you find yourself standing on the corner
While your thinking of a different world
Then you might see me waiting on the corner
Staring through you in a different world
So where do we go
Like two Christopher?s in the snow
Yeah we?re blind but we want to know
Just to say I love you
And all of our lives
We?ll sail through the suns and moons
To sing our Travellers Tunes
Just to say I love you
But if you find yourself standing on the corner
While your thinking of a different world
Then you might see me waiting on the corner
Staring through you in a different world

Straighten your collar and smile
'Cause you've never been lazy
'Cause you in a style
Call the shots every day
Soul Driver
Don't hurry
It's my timing
It's not your worry
And I'm taking my time
And laying my roots
Since I've been so far away
You're such a practical man
You work so hard for your living
You make me understand
That it's all in the giving
Chorus repeated over and over

Best friends and lovers
Can be the same thing
One or the other
They both bear a ring
Best friends and lovers
No need to feel pain
One or the other
Will be there again
Best friends you're dancing
And lovers disappear
Best friends and lovers
They last in the years
Best friends and lovers
Being jealous or vain
There's one or the other
As heaven in play
Best friends and lovers
Being jealous or vain
There's one or the other
As heaven in play
Best friends and lovers
They can be fools
Each to the other
But never cruel

I think everybody's after me
They wanna know just what I feel
Pushing wires under my nose
Everybody's standing on my toes
Telling the world what I should know
You said you'd seen life from near the floor
You opened every closing door
Thank you for always being there
And all the nights in which we shared
And we know we're always here
And if it gets you down
You know I'll always be around
Guess too much just ain't enough
We - we who are your property
Whose every single move you see
We don't mind the prying eyes
We don't mind all your lies
Or the headlines that you write

Im not one to judge that much
And anyway I just wanna get high on you
But thirteen year old girls in hotels on the other side of the world
Seems a little much for me
Yeah, I wanna stay alive with you...
But they look you in the eye
And anyway theyll always slip a smile at you
But thirteen year old girls in rat-holes on the other side of the world
Theyre gonna lie to you
Yeah, I wanna stay alive with you...
Free-runs in a town where the boys and girls are settling down for the night
To make up and make eyes at you
Yeah, I wanna stay alive with you

When you're starting to choke take some pills with your coke
It's inspirational
When you're life is a mess light one more cigarette
It's so logical
Well it's something your mother can't abide
But it's something that i freely prescribe
Take yourself for a ride
It never felt so good
As the night that you and i played Robin Hood
Stealing from the backrooms of our minds
Remembering a time when we were five
A time i thought we'd left behind
When you're starting to cry
I'll come and sit by my side
And I will love you so
When the nightmares come
I will try to be fun, even though;
I'm so scared you know
Well it's something your mother can't abide
But it's something that i freely prescribe
Take yourself for a ride
It never felt so good
As the night that you and i played Robin Hood
Stealing from the backrooms of our minds
Stealing from a time when we were five
A time i thought we'd left behind
Stealing from the backrooms of our minds
Stealing from a time when we were five
A time i thought we'd left behind
When you're starting to choke take some pills with your coke
It's hysterical

Jane she got excavated
By a trader dealing in old lines
Then she got a paper
From a mailer telling her more lies
Chorus (sing first half on first chorus):
So here we go
Down an endless road where we know
Nothing good here will ever grow
We're wasting our own time
And better know
Everyday life will carry on
Everyday when you're not so strong
You're wasting your own time
Says she knows more than she lets on
That's how she gets on when she is outside
When the wind comes on harder
She needs a shelter of their warm lies
Repeat chorus
She was taken last Sunday
To a safe place dealing in this line
Then she got her papers
From a faceless who won't tell her one more time
