I see the people working,
And see it working for them. And so I want to join in, But then I find it hurts me. Some say that knowledge is something sat in your lap. Some say that knowledge is something that you never have. I see the people happy, So can it happen for me? 'Cause when I am unhappy, There's nothing that can move me. Some say that knowledge is something that you never have. Some say that knowledge is something sat in your lap. Some say that heaven is hell. Some say that hell is heaven. I must admit, just when I think I'm king, (I just begin.) Just when I think I'm king, I must admit, (I just begin.) Just when I think I'm king, (I just begin.) I've been doing it for years. My goal is moving near. It says, "Look! I'm over here." Then it up and disappears. Some say that knowledge is something sat in your lap. Some say that knowledge is ho-ho-ho-ho. I want to be a lawyer. I want to be a scholar. But I really can't be bothered. Ooh, just gimme it quick, gimme it, gimme gimme gimme gimme! Some say that knowledge is ho ho ho. Some say that knowledge is ho ho ho. Some say that heaven is hell. Some say that hell is heaven. I must admit, just when I think I'm king, (I just begin.) Just when I think I'm king, I must admit, (I just begin.) Just when I think everything's going great, (I just begin,) Hey, I get the break, Hey, I'm gonna take it all (I just begin.) When I'm king (just begin.) In my dome of ivory, A home of activity, I want the answers quickly, But I don't have no energy. I hold a cup of wisdom, But there is nothing within. My cup, she never overfloweth, And 'tis I that moan- and groaneth. Some grey and white matter, "Give me the karma, mama!" I'm coming up the ladder, I'm coming up the ladder, "Tibet or Jeddah, Up the ladder... "To Salisbury, A monastery, The longest journey, Across the desert, Across the weather, Across the elements, Across the water!" |

Okay remember, okay remember
That we have just allowed Half an hour, To get in, do it and get out. The sense of adventure Is changing to danger I go in, The crime begins My excitement Turns into fright All my words fade What am I gonna say? Mustn't give the game away We're waiting We got the job sussed This shops shut for business The look-out has parked the car But kept the engine running Three beeps means trouble's coming I hope you remember, To treat the gelignite tenderly for me I'm having dreams about things Not going right, Let's leave in plenty of time tonight Both my partners Act like actors, You are Bogart He is George Raft That leaves Cagney and me. We're waiting You blow the safe up Then all I know is I wake up, Covered in rubble, One of the Rabble, Needs Mummy, The Government will never find the money, I've been here all day, A star in strange ways Apart from a photoeraph They'll get nothing from me Not until they let me see My solicitor. Ooh I remember That rich windy weather When you would carry me, Pockets floating in the breeze There goes a tenner Hey look, there's a fiver There's a ten shilling note Remember them? That's when we used to vote for him. |

Just as we hit the green
I've never been so happy to be alive. Only seven miles behind You could smell the child, The smell of the front line's survival. With my silver Buddah And my silver bullet You learn to ride the Earth When you're living on your belly And the enemy are city births Who need radar? We use scent They stink of the west. Stink of sweat Stink of cologne and baccy And their Yankie Hash With my silver Buddha And my silver bullet Just one thing in it Me or him And I love life Just one thing in it Me or him And I love life Just one thing in it, Me or him and I love life I love life, I love life I've seen the coat for me I`ll track him 'til he drops Then I'Il pop him one he won't see He's big and pink and not like me He sees no light He sees no reason for the fighting. With my silver Buddha And my silver bullet (I pull the pin) I had not seen his face 'Til I'm only feet away Unbeknown to my prey, I look in American eyes I see little life, See little wife, He's striking violence up in me. With my silver Buddha And my silver bullet. Just one thing in it, me or him And I love life. Just one thing in it, me or him And I love life. Just one thing in it me or him and I love life, I love life, I love life Just one thing in it me or him and I love life, |

Out in the garden, there's half of a heaven
And we're only bluffing We're not ones for busting through walls But they've told us unless we can prove That we're doing it We can't have it all. He's gonna wangle a way to get out of it She's an excuse And a witness who'll talk when he's called, But they've told us Unless we can prove that we're doing it We cnn't have it all Suddenly my feet are feet of mud It all goes slow-mo. I don't know why I'm crying Am I suspended In Gaffa? Not until I'm ready for you Not until I'm ready for you Can I have it all. I try to get nearer, But as it gets clearer There's something appears in the way It's a plank in me eye With a camel who's trying to get through it, Am I doing it? Can I have it all now. I pull out the plank And say thank you for yanking me back To the fact That there's always something to distract But sometimes it's hard To know if I'm doing it right. Can I have it all? Can I have it all now? We can't have it all Suddenly my feet are feet of mud It all goes slow-mo. I don't know why I'm crying Am I suspended In Gaffa? Not until I'm ready for you Can I have it all. I won't open boxes that I am told not to, I'm not a Pandora I'm much morc like That girl in the mirror, Between you and me She don't stand a chance of Getting anywhere at all, Not anywhere at all, No not a thing, She can't have it all. Suddenly my feet are feet of mud It all goes slow-mo. I don't know why I'm crying Am I suspended In Gaffa? Not until I'm ready for you Can I have it all. |

With my ego in my gut
My babbling mouth would wash it up. (But now I've started learning how) I keep it shut. My door was never locked Until one day a trigger come-cocking. (But now I've started learning how) I keep it shut. Wide eyes would clean and dust Things that decay things that rust. (But now I've started leaming how) I keep them shut I keep them shut. Harm is in us, Harm in us but power to arm. Harm is in us, Harm in us but power to arm. Narrow mind would persecute it, Die a little to get to it. (But now I've started learning how) I leave it open I kept it in a cage, Watched it weeping, but I made it stay (But now I've started learning how) I leave it open I leave it open Harm is in us, Harm is in us Harm in you and me What you letting in? Tell me what you're letting in Say what we're gonna let in We let the weirdness in |

Bang goes another Kanga
On the bonnet of the van. (See the light ram through the gaps in the land.) Many an Aboriginie's mistaken for a tree, 'Til you near him on the motonvay, The tree begin to breathe. (See the light ram through the gaps in the land.) Coming in with the golden light in the morning. Coming in with the golden light is the New Man. Coming in with the golden light is my dented van. Woomera The civilised keep alive the terntonal war. (See the light ram through the gaps in the land.) Erase the race that claim the piace And say we dig for Ore, Or dangle Devils in a bottle And push them from the Pull Of The Bush. (See the light ram through the gaps in the land.) You find them in the road. (See the light bounce off the rocks to the sand.) In the road. Coming in with the golden light-in the morning Comin_e in with the golden light-with no waaring Coming in with the golden light-we bring in the rigging. Dig, dig, dig, away. M-M-Many an Aboriginie's mistaken for a tree (See the light ram through the gaps in the land) You near him on the motorway the tree begin to breathe. Erase the race that claim the place and say we dig for Ore. (See the light ram through the gaps in the land.) Dangle Devils in a bottle and push them from The Pull Of The Bush (See the sun set in the hand of the man.) "Bang" goes another Kanga on the bonnet of the van (See the light ram through the gaps in the land) You find them in the road In the road (See the light) Pull of the Bush (See the light bounce off the rocks to the sand) Push them from the-Pull of the Bush See the sun set in the hand of the man. |

The night doesn't like it
Looks just like your face On the moon to me And I won't let you do What you want to do It's funny how, even now You're laughing I won't let you do it If you go, I'll let the law know And they'll head you off when you touch the ground, Ooh please Don't go through with this, I don't like the sound of it. It's funny how, even now You're miles away I won't let you do it I won't let you do it I won't let you go through with it. Meet them over at Dover I'll just pilot the motor, Take them over the water With a hired plane And no names mentioned Tonight's the night of the flight Before you know I'll be over the water like a swallow There's no risk, I'll whisk them up In no moonlight And though pigs can fly They'll never find us Posing as the night And I'm home before the morning. In Malta catch a swallow For all of the guilty to set them free Wings fill the window And they beat and bleed. They hold the sky On the other side Of border lines I won`t let you do it I won`t let you do it I won`t let you go through with it Meet them over at Dover, I'll just pilot the motor, Take them ovcr the water, Like a swallow flying to Malta. With a hired plane And no names mentioned Tonight's the night of the flight Before you know I'll be over the water like a swallow There's no risk, I'll whisk them up In no moonlight And though pigs can fly They'll never find us Posing as the night And I'm home before the morning. Give me a break, Ooh let me try, Give me something to show For my miserable life Give me something to take Would you break even my wings Just like a swallow, Let me let me go. But you're not a swallow With a hired plane And no names mentioned Tonight's the night of the flight Before you know I'll be over the water like a swallow There's no risk, I'll whisk them up In no moonlight And though pigs can fly They'll never find us Posing as the night And I'm home before the morning. With a hired plane And no names mentioned Tonight's the night of the flight Before you know I'll be over the water like a swallow There's no risk, I'll whisk them up In no moonlight And though pigs can fly They'll never find us Posing as the night And I'm home before the morning. |

The first time I died
Was in the arms of good friends of mine, They kiss me with tears, They hadn't been near me for years Say why do it now When I won't be around, I'm going out? We needed you to love us too, we wait for your move Only tragedy allows the release Of love and gnef never normally seen I didn't want to let them see me weep, I didn't want to let them see me weak But I know I have shown That I stand at the gates alone I needed you to love me too, I wait for your move All the love, all the love, all the love we should have given All the love, all the love, all the love you could have given All the love, ail the love, all the love. The next time, I dedicate my life's work To the friends I make, I give them what they want to hear, They think I'm up to something weird And up rears the head of fesr in me. So now when they ring, I get my machine to let them in. I needed you to love me too, I wait for your move All the love, all the love, all the love we should have given AIl the love, all the love, all the love you could have given All the love, all the love, all the love. We needed you, to love us too, we wait for your move |

I wait at the table and hold hands with weeping strangers,
Wait for you to join the group. The tambounnes jingle-jangles The medium Roams and rambles. Not taken in, I break the circle. I want this man to go away now. With a kiss I'd pass the key And feel your tongue Teasing and receiving. With your spit still on my lip-you hit the water Him and I in the room To prove you are with us too He's using code that only you and I know This is no tnck of his This is your magic. I'd catch the queues watching you Hoping you'd do something wrong. Everybody thinks you'll never make it But every time you escape, Rosabel believe not even Eternity Can hold Houdini. Rosabel, believe. Through the glass, I'd watch you breathe Bound and drowned And paler than you've ever been. With your life the only thing in my mind We pull you from the water. Houdini, You and I and Rosabel believe. |

When you left the door was (slamming)
You paused in the doorway As though a thought stole you away I watched the world pull you away (lock it) So I run into the hall (lock it) Into the corridor There's a door in the house (slamming) I hear the lift descending I hear it hit the landing See the hackles on the cat, standing With my key I (lock it) With my key I (lock it up) With my key I (lock it) With my key I (lock it up) I am the concierge, chez-moi, honey Won't letcha in for love or money My home, my joy I'm barred and bolted, and I Won't letcha in CHORUS: (Get out of my house) No stranger's feet Will enter me I wash the panes I clean the stains away This house is as old as I am This house knows all I have done They come with their weather hanging around them But can't knock my door down With my key I (lock it) With my key I (lock it) This house is full of m-m-my mess This house is full of m-m-mistakes This house is full of m-m-madness This house is full of, full of, full of fight With my keeper I (clean up) With my keeper I (clean it all up) With my keeper I (clean up) With my keeper I (clean it all up) I am the concierge, chez-moi, honey Won't letcha in for love or money My home, my joy, I'm barred and bolted and I Won't letcha in CHORUS Man: Woman, let me in Let me bring in the memories Woman, let me in Let me bring in the Devil Dreams Woman: I will not let you in Don't you bring back the reveries I turn into a bird Carry further than the word is heard Man: Woman, let me in I turn into the wind I blow you a cold kiss Stronger than the song's hit Woman: I will not let you in I face towards the wind I change into the mule "Hee-haw" Both: "Hee-haw" "Hee-haw"...
