If my wheel could take another turn And if my life replaced itself again I wouldn't want a single thing to change Oh it's been good though it's been strange. And if my dreams were willing to come true I would not even try to ….. them through I'm sure there's things I've missed that others preached The goals they reached, they were not for me. Rest in peace Even though the worries let you down Don't let them count, rest in peace. Throw all those smiles and …. miles away You will willow pattern pictures through the rain And swallow when your heart begins to breathe Just like a bird, do what it please. 'Cause I ain't gonna be here all that long And when I go I want to know I sung If there's a road ahead, I'll rock right in Just got to win, this is my thing. Rest in peace Even though the worries let you down Don't let them count, rest in peace. Rest in peace. |

Girl-things ain't been goin' too good for me Girl-i'm living in the middle of a mystery You're the only one that can turn me on 'n' now that you're gone I said Girl-i'm livin' in the middle of your memory Girl-you're still the figure in my favorite fantasy I know you know That's the way it goes And still my love grows-i said All o' the good, all o' the good ones are taken All o' the good, all o' the good ones are taken I'm hangin' around with my head in the air Watchin' the lovers go by I had a lover-but she never cared All you could say was goodbye Maybe I was mistaken Maybe I got it wrong But all of the good ones are taken from now on 'n' girl-i'm livin' in the middle of a broken dream I said girl-all this fallin' in love ain't like it seems Out in the rain-can't you feel my pain Again 'n' again 'n' again 'n' again 'n' again All of the good, all o' the good ones are taken Maybe I was mistaken-maybe I got it wrong But all of the good ones are taken in my song |

I scream at you for sharing And I curse you just for caring I hate the clothes you're wearing, they're so pretty. And I tell you not to see me And I tell you not to feel me And I make your life a drag, it's such a pity. And I watch your warm glow palin' And I watch your sparkle fadin' As you realise you're failin', 'cause you're so good. Now I don't mean to upset you But there's so much crime to get through If only I could make it easier, then I would. Oh I wish I was your mother I wish I'd been your father And then I would have seen you, would have been you as a child. Played houses with your sisters And wrestled with all your brothers And then who knows, I might have felt a family for a while. It's no use me pretendin' You give and I do the spendin' Is there a happy ending? I don't think so. 'Cause even if we make it I'll be too far out to take it You'll have to try and shake it from my head. Oh I wish I was your mother I wish I'd been your father And then I would have seen you, would have been you as a child. Played houses with your sisters And wrestled with all your brothers And then who knows, I might have felt a family for a while. |

Well, there ain't nothin' I can do To take the pain away from you Another one lost on the battlefield of twisted steel, twisted steel There ain't nothin' I can say To help you take the (pain) away I can't believe that this is real Twisted steel, twisted steel And if I cry, it makes no difference And if I don't, I lose my innocence I can't imagine how a mother must feel (With) twisted steel, twisted steel Can you hear your mother callin'? Can you hear your mother callin'? Can you hear your mother ca-- she kneels Twisted steel, twisted steel This wasn't sacred, this was profane You took off and you took aim I saw you laughin' on the newsreel Twisted steel, twisted steel Can you hear your mother callin'? Can you hear your mother callin'? Can you hear your mother, she kneels Oh, twisted steel, twisted steel Twisted steel, twisted steel Twisted steel, twisted steel Twisted steel, twisted steel Twisted people, twisted minds Twisted logic, twisted times I can't imagine how a mother must feel Twisted steel, twisted steel |

Genocidal tendencies are silly to extreme
After all you're still quite small you don't know where you've been You was only swearing yesterday Oh you want to win the world away But now you got nothing to say-ay-ay Boy you're getting out of hand You've got to make a stand So put the coke away Boy you got the do the show Got to let the people know You've got the strength to stay I can see you run I can see you hide Oh your heart is aching Lost in a dream of what might have been You're the guide You're the number one And your knees are shaking Stand and deliver in an endless dream Schizophrenic, photogenic, aggravates me so Only yes-men Have a guess man Watch the spirit go Batman zips the monster as he bleeds And gets off on the buzz he needs And a kid on the street just reads and reads and reads and reads and reads and reads and reads Boy its them hard case city blues Cagney is the news Does "The Giant" ring a bell? Boy its the Hudson East River cruise Its the Empire State of booze Oh you know the story well Do you have to run Do you have to hide There's a new tomorrow Yes you're a mess But you're more than less When this battle's won You can look inside All you did not borrow Yes you're the best But you still can't rest You know you know The carnival is closed Your streets are lined with ghosts But a princess don't look back Don't look back don't look round Your vision is your fight Through long electric nights When a woman helps you write Na na na Na na na Na Na na na Na na na Cheer up mate put the dramas in the past See you did not have to fast Euphemism lasts and lasts and lasts And lasts and lasts and lasts And lasts and lasts Boy if you've got an axe to grind Be thankful for this time For it gives you what you need Boy you've got an eighty-eight to play It'll tell you what to say It'll tell you when to breathe Boy take a turnpike heading west Turn the people on to Beau Geste Cause that's what you did the best Boy play the pipes till they're old and worn Sing the words till they fall forlorn Like the pieces of a jigsaw jet Boy don't let the earth get in your face its a middle-aged displace Its the middle ages snide Boy we're a million miles away And to think its so insane Take a chance on a one way ride Boy shoot a rocket clean out of your mind Oh these people ain't your kind No they ain't your kind at all Boy shoot a rocket clean out of your brain No these people ain't the same You can hear another call Boy the (other book?) starts with (no?) They don't show us how to grow They only show us how to win Boy the secret's in the bicycle shed Ain't no answers now they're dead To seek is a mortal sin Hey you know boy let your madness be the clue |

I followed the night till the morning sunlight And I thought of the changing times And I followed the child with the evergreen smile And the blue broken tears start to cry. Blue broken tears hide away the years And misty high rain seems colder today. And I saw a Waterlow where the evergreen grows And the wise man knows why he cries And I heard a child call me away from this all And the blue broken tears start to rise. Blue broken tears, ain't nobody here Lost in the sun my only young one. Blue broken tears, our love disappears The evergreen dies, drowned in my eyes. |

When I was just sixteen - I stood waiting for a dream - at Barker Street bus station every night When I tried to get it on - she just looked at me with scorn - my courage turned to dust and I took flight For those looks they seemed to say You ain't nuthin' - Go away You're just a face in the crowd so I went home and I vowed I'm gonna be somebody - someday Her name was Irene Wilde - Oh such beauty for a child When she started dating boys - I nearly died For I could not barely stand to see someone hold her hand I felt I had to crawl away and hide In my mother's living room I composed so many tunes All the same - just a frame - for her name, and just to say Gonna be somebody - someday Wild as your name I soon left that country town I been around, seen some fame, seen some ups and seen some downs Smile through your shock when you hear your name aloud It's that face in the crowd - didn't dig it - much too proud... When I was just sixteen I stood waiting for a dream A Barker Street bus station non affair At the time it seemed so sad, but it did not turn out bad If you hadn't messed me up I'd still be there And I think most folks agree, a little put-down makes them see They ain't no chain - just a link and that's why you made me think Gonna be somebody - be somebody - be somebody - someday |

We walked to the sea. Just my father and me.
아버지와 둘이서 바다로 걸어갔지. And the dogs played around on the sand. 백사장에서는 개들이 뛰어놀고 있었어. Winter cold cut the air. Hangin’ still everywhere Dressed in gray, 바람을 에는 듯한 겨울의 추위가 어두워진 주위에 가득했을 때 did he say. Hold my hand. 아버지가 말했지. ″내 손을 잡으렴″ I said, love’s easier when it’s far away. 나는 말했어. ″사랑은 멀리 있을 때 더 잘할 수 있는 거예요.″ We sat and watched a distant light. 우리는 나란히 앉아 멀리 있는 등대 불빛을 바라보았지. We’re two ships that pass in the night. 우리는 밤을 항해하는 두 척의 배 We both smile and we say it’s alright. 우린 웃으며 말했지. ″괜찮아.″라고. We’re still here. It’s just that we’re out of sight. 우린 아직 여기 있는 거야. 다만 서로 볼 수 없을 뿐 Like those ships that pass in the night. 밤을 지나는 저 배들처럼 말야. There’s a boat on the line Where the sea meets the sky. 수평선에 떠 있는 한 척의 배 There’s another that rides far behind. 또 그 뒤에 멀리 있는 다른 한 척 And it seems you and I are like strangers 우린 서로 낯선 사람들 같아 A wide ways apart as we drift on through time. 오랜 시간 험한 뱃길을 지나 온 것처럼. He said, it’s harder now, we’re far away. We only read you when you write. 아버지는 말했어. ″멀리 있으니까 더 힘들구나. 우린 오직 네 편지밖엔 읽을 수 없잖니.″ We’re two ships that pass in the night. 우리는 밤을 지나는 두 척의 배 And we smile when we say it’s alright. 우리는 웃으며 말했지. ″괜찮아.″ We’re still here. It’s just that we’re out of sight. 우린 아직 여기 있는 거야. 다만 서로 볼 수 없을 뿐 Like those ships that pass in the night. 밤을 지나는 저 배들처럼. We’re just ships that pass in the night. And we smile when we say it’s alright. We’re still here. It’s just that we’re out of sight. Like those ships that pass in the night. |

When true lovers meet in Mayfair So the legends tell, Song-birds sing winter turns to spring Every winding street in Mayfair falls beneath the spell, I know such enchantment can be ‘Cause it happened one evening to me That certain night, the night we met, There was magic abroad in the air There were angels dining at the Ritz And a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square I may be right, I may be wrong But I’m perfectly willing to swear That when you turned and smiled at me, A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square. The moon that lingered over London Town Poor puzzled moon, he wore a frown How could he know we two were so in love The whole darn world seemed upside down The streets of town were paved with stars It was such romantic affair And we kissed and said “goodnight” A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square How strange it was how sweet and strange, There was never a dream to compare With that hazy, crazy night we met When a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square. When dawn came stealing up, And gold, and blue, to interupt our rendezvous I still remember how you smiled and said “Was that a dream or was it true?” Our homeword step was just as light As the tap-dancing feet of Astaire And like an echo far away A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square. I know ‘cause I was there That night in Berkeley square |

(Transcribed by Justin Purington) Once upon a time not so long ago people used to stand and stare at the Spider with the platinum hair they thought you were immortal We had our ups and downs like brothers often do but I was there for him he was always there for me and we were there for you How can I put into words what my heart feels? it's the deepest thing when somebody you love dies I just wanted to give something back to you gift to gift Michael, Michael Picasso good night You used to love our house you said it was relaxing now I walk in the places you walk I talk in all the spaces you talk it still hasn't sunk in Are the words real that come into my head on a morning walk? do the shadows play tricks with my mind? For it feels like nothing has changed but I know it has Michael, Michael Picasso good night Heal me won't you heal me? nothing lasts forever set me free Heal me won't you heal me? I'm the one who's left here heal me heal me heal me You turned into a ghost surrounded by your pain and the thing that I liked the least was sitting 'round Hasker Street lying about the future And we all sit in a room full of tears on a windy day and I looked out but none of these words seem right I just wanted to give something back to you gift to gift Michael, Michael Picasso good night |

On the very first decade that we got to dream in Our fathers were angry, our mother's were screamin' At the clothes we were wearin' and the music we got off on Hitler was dead, welcome to Babylon Carved our initials out across the sand The heart and the arrow, no-one understands Then the tide rolled in and everything ran And washed us away, washed us away, washed us away Up in the attic ambition was burning Now my fingers were bleedin' but the tables were turning Down in the city the future was beckoning And I hated myself on the day of reckoning (Oh yeah) Carved our initials on top of the cake The heart and the arrow - the rattle and the snake How was I to know that the Earth was gonna break And wash us away, wash us away, wash us away Everything's temporary in this world Ain't it a shame when you lose someone Here tomorrow, gone today Wash us away, wash us away, wash us away There was never a fool like a young fool alone in A world without someone he can find a home in And for all the wrong reasons we rescued each other You bandaged my heart I never would recover (ohhhh) No river runs true, it always takes a twist Hearts can be broken, arrows gonna miss How was I to know that it was gonna come down to this And wash us away And we wrote our names on the Dead Sea Scrolls The young and the restless, the brave and the bold How was we to know it was gonna get outta control And wash us away, wash us away, wash us away, wash us away, wash us away,wash us away, wash us away |

When you're school shy and the world it ain't easy to find And it's breakin' your heart cos you know you were no good from the start Don't let go, don't let go, don't let go, don't let go oh oh oh When you're headin' nowhere and those friends who you relied upon don't care And your room is a cage ain't nobody gonna help you ease your rage Don't let go, don't let go, don't let go, don't let go oh oh oh, oh oh I know That it's easy to advise But I hear someone callin' And I feel somethin' fallin' through the money in your eyes When all faith has gone And you ain't got the strength to carry on Like a child bathed in me Hide away from the lovin that you seek But don't let go, don't let go, don't let go, don't let go |

== Forgot my six-string raiser, hit the sky Half way to Memphis 'fore I realised Well I rang the information, my axe was cold They said she rides the train to Oreoles. Now its a mighty long way down the dusty trail And the sun burns hot on the cold steel rails And I look like a bum and I crawl like a snail All the way from Memphis. Well I got to Oreoles you know, it took a month And there was my guitar, electric junk Some spade said: 'Rock and rollers, you're all the same' 'Man that's your instrument' - I felt so ashamed. Now its a mighty long way down rock and roll Through the Bradford Cities and the Oreoles And you look like a star but you're still on the dole All the way from Memphis. Yeah it's a mighty long way down rock and roll From the Liverpool docks to the Hollywood Bowl And you climb up the mountains and you fall down the holes All the way from Memphis. Yeah it's a mighty long way down rock and roll As your name gets hot so your heart grows cold And you gotta stay young man, you can never be old All the way from Memphis. Yeah it's a mighty long way down rock and roll Through the Bradford Cities and the Oreoles And you look like a star but you're really out on parole All the way from Memphis. == |

In Seventy-one all the people come Bust a few seats but it's just in fun Take the Mick out of Top of the Pops, we play better than they do. In Seventy-two we was born to lose We slipped down snakes into yesterday's news I was ready to quit but then we went to Croydon. Do you remember the Saturday gigs? (We do, we do) Do you remember the Saturday gigs? (We do, we do). The tickets for the fantasy were twelve and six a time A fairy tale on sale. Oh, Seventy-three was a jambouree We were the dudes, the dudes were we Did you see the suits and the platform boots? Oh dear, oh boy In Seventy-four in Broadway tour We didn't much like dressing up no more Don't wanna be hip but thanks for a great trip. Do you remember the Saturday gigs? (We do, we do) Do you remember the Saturday gigs? (We do, we do). But now the kids pay a couple of quid 'Cause they need it just the same It's all a game, a grown-up game.
