Do you wanna go my way (x2)
The future is clear Let's get into gear I'm willing to ask Do you wanna go my way? You're out on your own You're never alone There's people around But do you want to go my way? They threw me out of town, said I'm a hooligan They never want to see my ugly face again I'm looking for a ride, i need to get some place I'm feeling disillusioned with the human race Heat on the skyline, have you got the time? I'll sit here by the road for yet another day But whatever road you're taking, I will go that way There's trouble in town They wanna see you go down Let's make our escape Do you wanna go my way? I'll give you what's mine I'll throw you a line Just make up your mind Do you wanna go my way? What do you want me to say? Just give me a little trust And answer me Do you wanna go my way? I don't know where I am, but it's a long way home I haven't got a penny for the telephone I don't know who my friends are, who my friends will be But i feel like it's happening for you and me You're my driver, I'm your passenger The night is looking friendlier than any day We're racing into it, and I will go that way The future is bright We'll just drive by night If anyone asks We're busy making our own way We'll sleep in the shade And watch what we've made They'll never catch on So do you wanna go my way? What do you want me to say? Just give me a little trust |

today, when everything's changed
i'm feeling quite strange it's not in my head and it just gets in my way we've done nothing wrong it's taken so long should've read more books instead of listening to songs is it meaningless, and excuse for stress? a few key quotations always better than yes i'd be enigmatic never talk automatic like the crowd from the art school they're so important we're all afraid of sale or return... when the damage is done this is sale or return then you're sale or return (this is dead stock and reduced to clear) when there's nowhere to run (this is sale or return) they you're sale or return (this is dead stock and it's in your kitchen still inside a plastic bag) been used as a trading tool last big thing uncool we're tied to a timebomb everyone can see through i've read lie after lie i'll stick your pen in your eye you don't speak for the people any more than i i'd live on a plane, nothing to explain no sugar-free diet, i'd rather mine was plain i would never land and be devalued by man i'd breathe the air recycled that's not my disease we're all afraid of sale or return the damage is done, you're sale or return |

get yourself an image
and a nice wee slogan without a clue into what you're enrolling but you seek approval and that of a man that's why you're not in the same league as i am reveal your hardcore past and get into the press and get your story straight for your prepared test you think that it's all new and its something to say maybe someone should tell you've gone around it the wrong way oh no there's nothing wrong everything's all good forget what's been fought for glamour won't hide the truth just you forget the facts it's more fun to tease the only ones you influence are the naive so once you're out the charts how will your message fare what happens in 2K let's face it you just don't care it's a tabloid thing i wouldn't understand don't know the make-up of a very different man he wants his inches filled with your idle talk he loves to stare he loves to stare |
