I've been driving in my car, it's not quite a Jaguar I bought it in Primrose Hill from a bloke from Brazil It was made in fifty-nine in a factory by the Tyne It says Morris on the door, the G.P.O. owned it before I drive in it for my job, the governor calls me a slob But I don't really care, give me some gas and the open air It's a bit old but it's mine, I mend it in my spare time Just last week I changed the oil, the rocker valves and the coil Just last week I changed the oil Last week it went round the clock, I also had a little knock I dented somebody's fender, he learnt not to park on a bender, ha ha ha I've been driving in my car, it don't look much but I've been far I drive up to Muswell Hill, I've even been to Selsey Bill I drove along the A45, I had her up to 58 This copper stopped me the other day, you're mistaken what could I say The tyres were a little worn, they were O.K., I could have sworn I like driving in my car, I'm satisfied I've got this far I like driving in my car, it don't look much but I've been far I like driving in my car, even with a flat tyre I like driving in my car, it's not quite a Jaguar I like driving in my car, I'm satisfied I've got this far |

Trying hard, I thought I'd done my best

I hear them saying Tomorrow's just another day I hear them saying And it gets better every day I hear them saying Tomorrow's just another day Listened long, tried to take it in All these facts leave me in the swim It's down and down there is no up I think that I've run out of luck. I hear them saying Tomorrow's just another day I hear them saying And it gets better every day I hear them saying Tomorrow's just another day Tomorrow's just another... day Walking now, over covered ground There is a chance if I move around I need a moment to reflect On the friendships I have wrecked.

Reaching up to press my best friend's bell
On my tiptoes Whatever made me climb this side of hell Oh, God only knows Lifting up another catch and slipping through the blind It's... it's so easy Lighting up another match to see what I can find It's... become so easy But after a while You can hear yourself breathe What seems a long long while You can feel yourself sealed Ones second thoughtlessness Nobody's home One's second thoughtlessness One's second thoughtlessness Here up on my own One's second thoughtlessness Sniffing around Hope to get out Smelling a scent That something is up I've seen this song before Is this the house my family lives - yes Ah, I've been here before Yes, I did it because, because Yes, I did it because Yes, I did it because, because Yes, yes, I did it because, because No - because One's second thoughtlessness I am my own One's second thoughtlessness One's second thoughtlessness I stand alone One's second thoughtlessness |

It's raining again,
I'm hearing its pitter patter down. It's wet in the street Reflecting the lights and splashing feet, Nowhere to go, And nothing I have to do, have to do. It's raining again, I follow the Christmas lights down town. I'm leaving the flow Of people walking all around, Round and round, I hear the sound of rain falling in my ears Washing away the weariness like tears. I can feel my troubles running down, Disappear into the silent sound. Just walking along, My clothes are soaked right through to the skin, I haven't a doubt, that this is what life is all about, The sun and the rain. Scraps of paper(???) washing down the drain. I feel the rain falling on my face I can say there is no better place Than standing up in the falling down In so much rain I could almost drown. It's raining again A crack in the clouds reveals blue skies I've been feeling so low(low) But now everything is on my side The sun and the rain. Walk with me fill my heart again I hear the rain falling in my ears Washing away the weariness like tears. I can feel my troubles running down, Disappear into the silent sound. I feel the rain falling on my face I can say there is no better place Than standing up in the falling down In so much rain I could almost drown. Do de do do de do do do Do de do de do de do do do |

I've saved a little bit of money from christmas gone,
What with my birthday nearly due, I'm dressing up as guy in the shopping arcade, Have you a penny for a boy named blue ? I've seen it advertised on tv shows, Flashed up on the evening news, My local m.p. said I should grin and bear it, But I'd rather go and blow her fuse, Right on, right off! Right off, right on. Right on, right off! Right off, right on. Let me tell you a little tale of naughty's, On the estate I used to loathe, I aimed 30 rockets at a shilling each, You should have seen their front door's go, Right on, right off! Right off, right on. Right on, right off! Right off, right on. Let it talk cb Fireball xl sitting in the window, Just waiting for a match to come, You're looking so so sad in your pretty coloured frock, Don't let that make up on your eye balls run. I got my little lot of money from a cherished friend, His name was piggy but he wasn't to know, He hit my god-damn hammer like a wall of bricks, You should have seen his pig tail go, Right on, right off! Right off, right on. Right on, right off! Right off, right on. Fireball xl propped up at my window, Wondering what on earth it's to do! Now that it's gone from the window of the shopping arcade, Everybody's looking for a boy named blue. Blue who Blue who Blue who Blue who Quack, quack, quack, quack. Oink, oink, oink, oink. Woof, woof, woof, woof. Bridit, bridit, bridit, bridit. Albert, albert. Don't call us we'll call you. |

My girl's mad at me
I didn't wanna go see the film tonight I found it hard to say She thought I'd had enough of her Why can't she see She's lovely to me? But I like to stay in And watch t.v. on my own Every now and then My girl's mad at me Been on the telephoncle for an hour We hardly said a word I tried and tried but I could not be heard Why can't I explain? Why do I feel this pain? 'Cause everything I say She doesn't understand She doesn't realise She takes it all the wrong way My girl's mad at me We argued just the other night I thought we'd got it straight We talked and talked until it was light I thought we'd agreed I thought we'd talked it out Now when I try to speak She says that I don't care She says I'm unaware And now she says I'm weak |

Arlington house, address: no fixed abode An old man in a three-piece suit sits in the road He stares across the water, he sees right through the lock But on and up like outstretched hands His mumbled words, his fumbled words, mock Further down, a photo booth, a million plastic bags And an old woman filling out a million baggage tags But when she gets thrown out, three bags at a time She spies the old chap in the road to share her bags with She has bags of time Surrounded by his past, on a short white line He sits while cars pass either side, takes his time Trying to remember one better day A while ago when people stopped to hear him say Walking round you sometimes hear the sunshine Beating down in time with the rhythm of your shoes Now she has walked enough through rainy town She rests her bag against his and sits down She's trying to remember one better day A while ago when people stopped to hear her say Walking round you sometimes hear the sunshine Beating down in time with the rhythm of your shoes Walking round you sometimes hear the sunshine Beating down in time with the rhythm of your shoes The feeling of arriving when you've nothing left to lose Walking round you sometimes hear the sunshine Beating down in time with the rhythm of your shoes The feeling of arriving when you've nothing left to lose |

Please don't go
I used to walk you home Then walk back alone as I remember I just can't remember I used to walk you home Then walk back alone as I remember I just can't remember I will admit that there were times When I was rude and so unkind But can't we kiss and make amends? Oh why, oh why can't we be friends? When we were seen it was like a dream Always still going on, I thought forever Now you say that it's time to end But I say never, n-n-n-no never But when we kissed and when we touched It used to mean so very much But now you're cold and want to go Before you do, I want you to know: Please don't go Please don't go, because I really know That I love you, I really love you I used to walk you home Then walk back alone as I remember I just can't remember When we kissed and when we touched It used to mean so very much But now you're cold and want to go Before you do, I want you to know: Please don't go, because I really know That I love you, I really love you Please don't go, because I really know That I love you, I really love you Please don't go, because I really know That I love you, I really love you Please don't go |

I never thought I;d miss you
Half as much as I do And I never thought I'd feel this way The way I feel about you As soon as I wake up any night any day I know that it's you I need To take the blues away It must be love, love, love It must be love, love, love Nothing more, nothing less Love is the best How can it be That we can say so much without words Bless you and bless me baby Bless the bees and the birds I've got to be near you every night, every day I couldn't be happy baby any other way It must be love, love, love It must be love, love, love Nothing more, nothing less Love is the best |

Please don't go
I used to walk you home Then walk back alone As I remember I just can't remember [x2] I will admit that there were times When I was rude and so unkind But can't we kiss and make amends Oh why oh why can't we be friends When we were seen It was like a dream Always together I thought forever But now you see That it's time to end But I say never N-n-n-no never But when we kissed and when we touched It used to mean so very much But now you're cold and want to go Before you do, I want you to know Please don't go Please don't go because I really know That I love you, I really love you I used to walk you home, then walk back alone As I remember, I just can't remember But when we kissed and when we touched It used to mean so very much But now you're cold and want to go Before you do, I want you to know Please don't go because I really know That I love you I really love you [x3] (Please don't go...love you) |

Hello, this is Chris, Happy Christmas Hi, Lee Kix here, filling your stocking I play sax But also, I sing at the same time Baffling, eh?

This is Suggs, and now I am going to take it away OK, lads, get closer together And all this time I'll be waiting up by the chimney stack On this coldest year since brr, up up up above a reindeer's back OK, quiet everybody. You should come on here Er, hit me with those backing vocals, yeah Ooh Ooh "You'll never take me alive, copper" "Look, reindeer, don't be silly, just settle down" "I'm gonna get that coney to ma" "We've got you on six counts of disturbing the peace" "Shove it, copper, I'll stick a grapefruit in your face" "We're gonna keep singing " "You are so..You are so...out of a job! Now come on down here" "Nothings going to stop us singing, copper, even if I have gotta come down that chimney myself and Stick it in your face" "I'm going to send in the troops if you don't come down here"" "We're going to keep singing in every home in the nation" "Do whatever you want to do. Do what you...fuck! That's it! "You stupid flatfoot, you'll never take me alive. I'm on top of the world Ma Top of the world Ma-Ma?" Get those stickers on you know...Chris, quieten down over there, will you, I'm trying to get a Message across, you know I'm going to change the world overnight, yeah Thank you Thank you |

Now I see tears you can't hide
Carry the world on your back Heavy weights tear you apart Now I see tears you can't hide Feel in a rage can't speak up for yourself All that you try to do it's no good anyway Now I see tears you can't hide No use saying it's a crime Voices surround me but they lie, lie Hold out your hand together make your stand You may be alone you may feel scared inside Now I see tears you can't hide No use saying it's a crime Voices surround me but they lie, lie (Just hit me with your saxophone, Lee) Now I see tears you can't hide Now I see tears you can't hide Now I see tears you can't Tears you can't tears you can't hide |

I have a feeling for you son
I know you think the battle's lost And that your thoughts are on the run And you'll never meet the cost I have a feeling for you girl And though you're walking in a storm Alone you may be cold But together we'll be warm And now the room is empty And now the phone is cold And as the hours are passing So the day grows old And as the light is fading Don't breathe another sigh And if you think of calling Don't let me pass you by Tomorrow there will be no rain Tomorrow there'll be no more pain Tomorrow if you feel the same Call me [x2] Here's to everybody torn up by friends Here's to the evenings that never ever end Here's to all the things we wished we'd never done Here's to the summers with no sun Here's to all the tramps, the beggars and the rich Here's to the fishers with no fish Here's to all the faces with no names All the passengers on this train Tomorrow there will be no rain Tomorrow there'll be no more pain Tomorrow if you feel the same Call me (Won't you) call me I have a feeling in my bones That I've been this way before And if I'm ever here again Washed up outside your door Call me [x6] |

A pocket full of posies with a hat brim full of sand (Ooh ooh) waiting for the train that never comes A dog chasing the tumbleweeds, across the sandy floor That drift along the platform, through the ticket office door (Ooh ooh) waiting for the train that never comes (Ooh ooh ooh ooh) waiting for the train that never comes But don't tell me there's nothing coming, you don't fool me I hear the ghost train rumbling along the tracks - set them free And I hear them It's black and white, don't try to hide [x2] The station master's writing with a piece of orange chalk A hundred cancellations, still no one wants to walk Keep the hungry children from the skeleton in the back Paid to keep an eye out for the gipsy caravan (Ooh ooh) waiting for the train that never comes (Ooh ooh ooh ooh) waiting for the train that never comes I hear the ghost train rumbling along the tracks - set them free And I hear them It's black and white, don't try to hide [x4] It's black and white (don't try) [x2] It's black and white, don't try to hide [x2] And I hear them It's black and white, don't try to hide [x2] |

Naughty boys in nasty schools, headmasters breaking all the rules Having fun and playing fools, smashing up the woodwork tools All the teachers in the pub, passing 'round the ready-rub Trying not to think of when the lunch-time bell will ring again Oh what fun we had but did it really turn out bad All I learnt at school was how to bend not break the rules Oh what fun we had but at the time it seemed so bad Trying different ways to make a difference to the days Baggy trousers, baggy trousers, baggy trousers Baggy trousers, baggy trousers, baggy trousers One step beyond Waiter Our house, in the middle of our street Our house, in the middle of our street Blue train taking me from you Take time for your pleasure and laugh with love Take the hand of another and sing for the wings of a dove Whoa, whoa, for the wings of a dove Whoa, whoa, for the wings of a...

My name is Michael Caine What? My name is Michael Caine In the morning I awake My arms, my legs, my body aches The sky outside is wet and grey So begins another weary day So begins another weary day Tomorrow's just another day, just another day, just another day Tomorrow's just another day I think we got it there, don't you? It must get better in the long run, has to get better in the long run I think we got it there, don't you? |
