Happy Jack wasn't old, but he was a man.
He lived in the sand at the Isle of Man. The kids would all sing, he would take the wrong key, So they rode on ahead on their furry donkey. The kids couldn't hurt Jack, They tried, tried, tried. They dropped things on his back, They lied, lied, lied, lied, lied. But they couldn't stop Jack, 'or the waters lapping, And they couldn't prevent Jack from being happy. But they couldn't stop Jack, 'or the waters lapping, And they couldn't prevent Jack from being happy. The kids couldn't hurt Jack, They tried, tried, tried. They dropped things on his back They lied, lied, lied, lied, lied. But they couldn't stop Jack, 'or the waters lapping. And they couldn't prevent Jack from being happy. (I saw ya!) |

See that girl who's smiling so brightly,
Well I reckon she's cool and I reckon rightly, She's good looking and I ain't frightened, I'm gonna show you why they call me lightning. Hey little girl who's dancing so lightly, My XKE is shining so brightly, The noose around us is slowly tightening, I'm gonna show you why they call me lightning. Hey little girl who's dancing so lightly, My XKE is shining so brightly, The noose around us is slowly tightening, I'm gonna show you why they call me lightning. You can't catch me, I'm as fast as can be, Call me lightning, I'm as fast as can be, No you can't catch me, no you can't catch me. |

Local Lad:
Ever since I was a young boy, I've played the silver ball. )From Soho down to Brighton I must have played them all. But I ain't seen nothing like him In any amusement hall... That deaf dumb and blind kid Sure plays a mean pin ball ! He stands like a statue, Becomes part of the machine. Feeling all the bumpers Always playing clean. He plays by intuition, The digit counters fall. That deaf dumb and blind kid Sure plays a mean pin ball ! He's a pin ball wizard There has got to be a twist. A pin ball wizard, S'got such a supple wrist. 'How do you think he does it? I don't know! What makes him so good?' He ain't got no distractions Can't hear those buzzers and bells, Don't see lights a flashin' Plays by sense of smell. Always has a replay, 'n' never tilts at all... That deaf dumb and blind kid Sure plays a mean pin ball. I thought I was The Bally table king. But I just handed My pin ball crown to him. Even my usual table He can beat my best. His disciples lead him in And he just does the rest. He's got crazy flipper fingers Never seen him fall... That deaf dumb and blind kind Sure plays a mean pin ball.!!!!! |

And when Daddy comes home he never gets no rest Cause she's playin' all night And the music's all right Mama's got a squeeze box Daddy never sleeps at night Well the kids don't eat And the dog can't sleep There's no escape from the music In the whole damn street Cause she's playin' all night And the music's all right Mama's got a squeeze box Daddy never sleeps at night She goes in and out and in and out and in and out and in and out She's playin' all night And the music's all right Mama's got a squeeze box Daddy never sleeps at night She goes squeeze me Come on and squeeze me Come on and tease me like you do I'm so in love with you Mama's got a squeeze box Daddy never sleeps at night She goes in and out and in and out and in and out and in and out Cause she's playin' all night And the music's all right Mama's got a squeeze box Daddy never sleeps at night |

No one knows what it's like
To be the bad man To be the sad man Behind blue eyes No one knows what it's like To be hated To be fated To telling only lies But my dreams They aren't as empty As my conscience seems to be I have hours, only lonely My love is vengeance That's never free No one knows what it's like To feel these feelings Like I do And I blame you No one bites back as hard On their anger None of my pain and woe Can show through But my dreams They aren't as empty As my conscience seems to be I have hours, only lonely My love is vengeance That's never free When my fist clenches, crack it open Before I use it and lose my cool When I smile, tell me some bad news Before I laugh and act like a fool And if I swallow anything evil Put your finger down my throat And if I shiver, please give me a blanket Keep me warm, let me wear your coat No one knows what it's like To be the bad man To be the sad man Behind blue eyes |

Who are you?
Who who who who? Who are you? Who who who who? Who are you? Who who who who? Who are you? Who who who who? I woke up in a Soho doorway A policeman knew my name He said ″You can go sleep at home tonight If you can get up and walk away″ I staggered back to the underground And the breeze blew back my hair I remember throwin′ punches around And preachin′ from my chair chorus: Well, who are you? (Who are you? Who who who who?) I really wanna know (Who are you? Who who who who?) Tell me, who are you? (Who are you? Who who who who?) ′Cause I really wanna know (Who are you? Who who who who?) I took the tube back out of town Back to the Rollin′ Pin I felt a little like a dying clown With a streak of Rin Tin Tin I stretched back and I hiccupped And looked back on my busy day Eleven hours in the Tin Pan God, there′s got to be another way Who are you? Ooh wa ooh wa ooh wa ooh wa.. Who are you? Who who who who? Who are you? Who who who who? Who are you? Who who who who? Who are you? Who who who who? (chorus) I know there′s a place you walked Where love falls from the trees My heart is like a broken cup I only feel right on my knees I spit out like a sewer hole Yet still recieve your kiss How can I measure up to anyone now After such a love as this? Who are you? Who, who, who, who? Who are you? Who, who, who, who? Who are you? Who, who, who, who? Who are you? Who, who, who, who?

When you hear this sound a-comin'
Hear the drummer drumming Won't you join together with the band We don't move in any 'ticular direction And we don't make no collections Won't you join together with the band. Do you really think I care What you eat or what you wear Won't you join together with the band There's a million ways to laugh Ev'ry one's a path Won't you join together with the band. Everybody join together Won't you join together Come on and join together with the band We need to join together Won't you join together Come on and join together with the band. You don't have to play You can follow or lead the way Won't you join together with the band We don't know where we're going But the season's right for knowing Won't you join together with the band. It's the singer not the song That makes the music move along Won't you join together with the band This is the biggest band you'll find It's as deep as it is wide Won't you join together with the band. Ev'rybody join together ... etc. |

We'll be fighting in the streets With our children at our feet And the morals that they worship will be gone And the men who spurred us on Sit in judgement of all wrong They decide and the shotgun sings the song I'll tip my hat to the new constitution Take a bow for the new revolution Smile and grin at the change all around Pick up my guitar and play Just like yesterday Then I'll get on my knees and pray We don't get fooled again The change, it had to come We knew it all along We were liberated from the foe, that's all And the world looks just the same And history ain't changed 'Cause the banners, they'd all flown in the last war I'll tip my hat to the new constitution Take a bow for the new revolution Smile and grin at the change all around Pick up my guitar and play Just like yesterday Then I'll get on my knees and pray We don't get fooled again No, no! I'll move myself and my family aside If we happen to be left half alive I'll get all my papers and smile at the sky For I know that the hypnotized never lie Do ya? Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! There's nothing in the street Looks any different to me And the slogans are out-phased, by-the-bye And the party on the left Is now party on the right And their beards have all grown longer overnight I'll tip my hat to the new constitution Take a bow for the new revolution Smile and grin at the change all around Pick up my guitar and play Just like yesterday Then I'll get on my knees and pray We don't get fooled again Don't get fooled again No, no! Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Meet the new boss Same as the old boss |
