I see double up ahead
Where the riverboat swayed beneath the sun Is where the river runs red Like a King who stalks the wings and shoots a dove And frees an eagle instead It's more or less the same as the things that you said I see trouble up the road Like the things you found in love are by the way And like to cheat on your soul Like the best and worst of thoughts that lose control Before you lie on your bed It's more or less the same as the things that you said Anyway for all the things you know tell me why does the river not flow Anyway for all the things you said tell me why does the river run red Anyway for all the things you've seen tell me when will the river run green And anyway for all the things you know tell me why does the river not flow It's more or less the things you fail to say in your way that's your trouble Like a King who stalks the wings and shoots the moon and the stars And his double It's more or less the same as the things that you said I see trouble up ahead Where the river boat swayed beneath the sun Is where the river runs red I see double - that's my trouble |

I never saw it as the start
It's more a change of heart Rapping on the windows, whistling down the chimney pots Blowing off the dust in the room where i forgot Yeah 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 it's 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 He sipped 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 Yeah i miss the crush and i'm home again Stepping through the door with the night in store whiling just an hour away, Looking at the trees and the star-bright feeling it's a brighter day Repeat chorus You and i should ride the tracks And find ourselves just wading through tomorrow But you and i when we're coming down We're only getting back You know i feel the sorrow When you find that things are getting wild Don't you want days like these... Don't you need days like these... |

No I never knew you
We both went to different schools Me so scared of the rules You chasing all the girls But it seems to me We never grew up we just got ourselves free Inventing what we could be To buy all their curls Get up and dance Get up and smile Get up and drink to the days Ones that are gone in the shortest while She was just eighteen she collapsed And they took her away She didn?t make it for more than an hour Then she was gone What do you say? When someone?s been taken that way Before they?ve had a day to fly in the sun Get up and dance Get up and smile Get up and drink to the days Ones that are gone in the shortest while Get up and dance Get up and smile Get up and drink to the days Ones who are gone in the shortest while I?ll sing my sorrow I?ll sing my sorrow I?ll sing my sorrow I?ll sing my sorrow No I never knew you We both ended up as different fools Me so scared of the rules You chasing all the girls But it seems to me We never grew up we just got ourselves free Inventing what we could be To buy all their curls Get up and dance Get up and smile Get up and drink to the days Ones that are gone in the shortest while Get up and dance Get up and smile Get up and drink to the days Ones who are gone in the shortest while I?ll sing my sorrow |

Saturday Afternoon
The sunshine pours like wine Through your window But I know golden June Can turn an empty grey Against your window And I feel like I?m on the outside Of a circle If I walk by the trees I?ll catch the falling leaves If the wind blows But I know all this means is Whiling on the hours Watching sideshows And I feel like I?m on the outside Of a circle Will I turn my coat to the rain I don?t know But I?m going somewhere I can warm my bones Fare you well I?ll carry me away And sing to those I know Upon their birthdays And I won?t feel like I?m on the outside Of a circle |

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 |

The mechanical wonder is
It's just a noise in my room And i'm chasing the wonder and It's just a hole in my tune And the radio plays but it But it don't sing a song And the mechanical thunder is What is all going wrong And i walk down the road and i I awake in a tune But the mechanical thunder is It's just a noise in my room And we rode it once On a thundering night So i'll walk with you Where the locks take flight Oh machines make our lives today And i like them the best But the mechanical thunder is It's just a noise in my head And the radio plays at me But it don't sing a song But the mechanical wonder is How it's all going wrong And they rode it once ( |

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 |

And when she blows the candle flame to smoke She says a prayer for all those who live in houses and in homes And Monday she?ll go down town standing naked in the road You may know what I am But who I am you don?t know She?ll run across the mustard dust sand Scream down the wind And the sea is in and cold Like when in holiday homes And houses like sweets confectionary And sandcastles and drinking wine Hungry dinners perfectly timed And mother and father glowing young Happy to be each other together When she blows the candle out She goes to bed and lies and drags through her head The day that went way of every day But tomorrow she?ll fly a plane Over the fields where the houses aren?t built yet She smiled sweetly across the room Through the lunchtime smoke And I loved her for a second And discarded the queen and I know How sweetness turns sour And leaves they turn to brown And then to earth and dust And settle in this town You get blown away? You get blown away? You get blown away? And when she blows the candle flame to smoke She says a prayer for all those who live in houses and in homes And Monday she?ll go down town standing naked in the road You may know what I am But who I am you don?t know She?ll run across the mustard dust sand Scream down the wind And the sea is in and cold Like when in holiday homes And houses like sweets confectionary And sandcastles and drinking wine Hungry dinners perfectly timed She smiled sweetly across the room Through the lunchtime smoke And I loved her for a second And discarded the queen and I know When men are being little boys again And women cruel step mothers of old And this is the invention The adventure of my own I get blown away? I get blown away? I get blown away |

It's warm outside But I can hear the snow Falling on my window I had to go away To somewhere deeper down I know it's my mistake To take off out of this town And June becomes July This road's on fire And my train's running slow It rains against my window I had to get away To somewhere no-one knows I know it's my mistake To take off now in this way And June becomes July The air is thin When you're above the clouds I see them from my window It's strange to get away now To somewhere no-one goes I know it's my mistake But I don't even know now And June becomes July And June becomes July |

This England made me
Between a war and a rocket span You've found a crib it saves me And teach me wrong and right And the world was talking Never got it's chance to say When there's too much talking Nobody hears a word you say You won't see And baby now I won't hear It's blind communications Only lasts throughout the year And half of what we're saying Is half way to the truth It's blind communications For a million hearts and fools I am a witness To a land of a million fools All placing bets on life They hate the ones who lose And all the lonely Never get the chance to say That the one and only Will be the chance to even play You won't see And baby now I won't hear It's blind communications Only lasts throughout the year And half of what we're saying Is half way to the truth And blind communications For a million hearts and fools Hello Monday The weekend's just a blur I've been burning bridges And now I'm begging at your door So keep on working Cos it's a chance for me to play But too much talking When you believe the words I say You won't see And baby now I won't hear It's blind communications Only lasts throughout the year And half of what we're saying Is half way to the truth And blind communications For a million hearts and fools |

Shirley was a lady whose teeth were made of gold She danced before the music and everything it told Huckleberry Grove Where the music plays into tomorrow night Huckleberry Grove Only fools would need to argue or to fight Shirley had eight children and each of them were told You got joy for singing burning in your soul Huckleberry Grove Where the idiots can't ease you of your mind Huckleberry Grove Take a free train, leave your luggage far behind Oh she sings shangri-la Oh she sings shangri-la Shirley was a lady who mostly stayed at home But she went out dancing down Huckleberry Grove Huckleberry Grove Where the music plays into tomorrow night Huckleberry Grove You'll be groovin' on the best days of your life Huckleberry Grove Where the music's guaranteed to blow your mind Huckleberry Grove Leave your luggage, get a free train, get behind Oh she sings shangri-la Oh she sings shangri-la |

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 |
