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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |
