Ray decided to be silly after all
He'd died a 1000 times before in the viet war So he strapped himself in and he took his chances Into the valley of the bird, absurd I don't remember what it was the old man said I know I' d tempted fate a 1000 times before So we strapped ourselves in and we took such chances And had a flight for the brother who can't be Birdman, looking for the Wasteland, trying to get my Face tanned it's beautiful here Doing it we're flying in the valley of the birds- fly We decided one for all and all for one And when I do, I really want to go in style So without a sense of reason we explored Like throwing stones into the great unknown Birdman, looking for the Wasteland, trying to get my Face tanned it's beautiful here Doing it we're flying in the valley of the birds- fly |

Many people tell you that they're your friend
You believe them You need them For what's round the river bend Make sure that you're receiving the signals they send Cos brother, you've only got two hands to lend Maybe there's someone who makes you weep And some nights loom up ahead When you're asleep Some days there's things on your mind you should keep Sometimes, it's tougher to look than to leap Brother watch out for the skin deep Brother watch out for the skin deep (Brother watch out) Watch out for the skin deep (Brother watch out) Watch out for the skin deep Brother watch out for the skin deep One day the track that you're climbing gets steep Your emotions are frayed And your nerves are starting to creep Just remember the days As long as the time that you keep Brother, you better watch out for the skin deep Brother watch out for the skin deep Brother watch out for the skin deep (Brother watch out) Watch out for the skin deep (Brother watch out) Watch out for the skin deep Brother watch out for the skin deep (Brother watch out) Watch out for the skin deep (Brother watch out) Watch out for the skin deep Brother watch out for the skin deep |

How many times have you woken up and prayed for the rain?
How many times have you seen the papers apportion the blame? Who gets to say, who gets the work and gets to play? I was always told at school, everybody should get the same How many times have you been told, if you don't ask you don't get? How many liars have taken your money, your mother said you shouldn't bet? Who has the fun, is it always the man with the gun? Someone must have told him, if you work too hard you can sweat There's always the sun There's always the sun Always, always, always the sun How many times have the weathermen told you stories that made you laugh? Y'know it's not unlike the politician and the leaders when they do things by half Who gets the job, of pushing the knob That sort of responsibility you draw straws for, if you're mad enough There's always the sun There's always the sun Always, always, always the sun |

Woke up on a Sunday cloud
Never noticed all the rain Felt the sun behind the shades Wanted you to take my blood but Sunk into an empty place Pulse was gunning through my brain Felt you underneath my skin Wanted to bind my hands But you walk by with all I had And I lie where it all began You're all that's gonna save me now (x 3) Broke up under summer's haze My pieces falling everywhere Felt your sun upon my frame So strong I couldn't stand the pain Thought about a Wednesday child Felt the bullet in my back Dreamt my hands around your face Wanted you to waste my life But you walk by where I still stand And so I cry 'cause I'm a man And the face I want to see Is the face I want to be |

One day you see a strange little girl look at you
One day you see a strange little girl feeling blue She'd run to the town one day Leaving home and the country fair Just beware When you're there Strange little girl She didn't know how to live in a town that was rough It didn't take long before she knew she had enough Walking home in her wrapped up world She survived but she's feeling old And she found all things cold Strange little girl Where are you going? Strange little girl Where are you going? Do you know where you could be going? Walking home in her wrapped up world She survived but she's feeling old Cause she found all things cold Strange little girl Where are you going? Do you know where you could be going? |

While standing naked at the window watching the night
The thunder crashing all the lightening and the rain I wondered if I could or even if I should Attempt to see you or be with you ever again Your smile is painted on a thousand faces Still lying in my mouth still blowing through my hair My legs are strong but they won't carry me away Keep hiding sheets of lead what's that the things you said While eyes are heavy they won't promise me to sleep Your smile is painted on a thousand places What of me now as I fade still life goes by Cold sweat you haunt my skin Your fingers echoing your name is written here in blood of life of sin? Still burning on my bed your light goes out I'm dead Who says the heads the law has nothing left to break Your smile is painted on a thousand dreams I can't forget What of me now as I fade still life goes by What of me now here I stay and still life goes by |

Let Me Down Easy
Let Me Down Easy Let Me Down Easy Let Me Down Easy When I rest my weary head After all my words are said When my eyelids close with the weight of a hundred years Please Let Me Down Easy Let Me Down Easy My boat can slip away into a calmer sea Let Me Down Easy I know there'll be nothing to fear Let Me Down Easy Let Me Down Easy Let Me Down Easy Let Me Down Easy My body slips away out into weightlessness Let Me Down Easy Now I know that there's nothing to fear Let Me Down Easy Let Me Down Easy Let Me Down Easy Let Me Down Easy When I rest my aching heart After it's been torn apart When my tears have flowed on the tide of a hundred seas Please Let Me Down Easy Let Me Down Easy Affection slips away into my memory Let Me Down Easy There's a better time waiting for me Let Me Down Easy Let Me Down Easy Let Me Down Easy Let Me Down Easy Let Me Down Easy |

Golden brown, texture like sun
Lays me down, with my mind she runs Throughout the night No need to fight Never a frown, with golden brown Every time just like the last On her ship tied to the mast To distant lands Takes both my hands Never a frown with golden brown Golden brown, finer temptress Through the ages she's heading west From far away Stays for a day Never a frown with golden brown (instrumental) Never a frown (Never a frown) With golden brown (With golden brown) Never a frown (Never a frown) With golden brown (With golden brown) Never a frown (Never a frown) With golden brown (With golden brown) Never a frown (Never a frown) With golden brown (With golden brown |

I knew she was a feline
She moved with ease and grace Her green eyes they held mystery No emotion on her face The european female she's here She speaks her lips are kissing The air around her face I don't always understand her I love her air and grace The european female she's here The european female's here We'll be together for a thousand years And do you really fear That you might fall? I saw her in the Strasse And in the Rue as well Persued her in the high street She had me in her spell The european female she's here Chorus Keyboard solo Chorus Repeat Chorus until fade |

Down in the sewer
Picking up quite a lot of empty coca cola cans and there sure are a lot of them around here How did I get down here ? Well it's a long story. I should have stayed down home out on the farm and kept my tootsies warm instead of freezing them off down here There's lots of rats down here You can see the whites of their eyes They got sharp teeth Deep breath And lots of diseases People say you shouldn't stay down here too long Lose your sense of light and dark Lose your sense of smell I tell you what I'm gonna do Gonna make love to a water rat or two and breed a family they'll be called the survivors You know why ? No They're gonna survive I'll see you in the sewer darling And don't be late I'll see you in the sewer I'll see you in the sewer, the sewer, the sewer I'll see you in the sewer I'll see you in the sewer I'll see you in the sewer I'll see you in the sewer I'll see you in the sewer I'll see you in the sewer ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By HUGH CORNWELL, DAVID GREENFIELD, BRIAN DUFFY, JEAN JACQUES BURNEL <i>Lyrics © Universal Music Publishing Group</i> |

I need a dream where I can live what I said
I need a place where I can make my bed I need a hole where I'll find darkness now And if you hassle me mister I might just loose my head Five minutes and you're almost there Five minutes and you're almost dead Five minutes and you're almost there Five minutes and you're almost dead They came home on Saturday night They killed a cat and they raped his wife And in their eyes there was fear and hate And when they spoke, they spoke with knives Five minutes and you're almost there Five minutes and you're almost dead Five minutes and you're almost there Five minutes and you're almost dead Some say that I should hate them all But I say that wouldn't help at all I just wanna find those guys thats all I just wanna find those guys thats all, that's all, that's all Five minutes and you're almost there Five minutes and you're almost dead Five minutes and you're almost there Five minutes and you're almost dead The night time comes and the streets they ring With the fears of a thousand things But if you worry about your ports of call You'll never get nothing done at all Five minutes and you're almost there Five minutes and you're almost dead Five minutes and you're almost there Five minutes and you're almost dead Some say that I should hate them all But I say that wouldn't help at all I just wanna find those guys thats all I just wanna find those guys thats all I just wanna find those guys thats all, that's all |

Hey babe take a chance on me
I'll be your man tonight Just tell me when you've had enough Then I'll apply the coup de grace If I were to live forever I'd hope you'd apply the coup de grace Hey babe take a chance with me I'll take you down the river tonight A full moon with a big wolf too The end won't be a pretty sight And then we seeking something We need the coup de grace O lord I'm on my knees, save our holes Or it's the coup de grace, save our holes Hey babe I'm a bum tonight I need somewhere to sleep I'll love you now and I'll love you then But in the morning you will weep |

Goodbye blue sky, goodbye blue sky
Did you ever think you had it made It's a big wide world Think of all the games left to play You wrote the letter I saw your fingers bleed And your brown eyes glaze Such a beautiful waste Goodbye blue sky, what will it be, wash over me Goodbye blue sky, wash over me What will it be, wash over me Wash over me Whatever happens to the time we give Never took a life Never stole a kiss Sitting here Staring out, it's a twisting world Someone's cracked the glass and Turned it upside down |

The words
Came down the line Just a few words At a time The meaning It was Clear There was no sign of fear The scene That they described Were sad You could have cried The journey's Just too long To even Take the ride It's always The same It's always In vain If the truth Were only known If the words Had only shown That lies and deception They move in one direction And then in the end you lose........ That lies and deception They move in one direction And then in the end you lose........ You lose And now The line is dead You did everything You ever said You brought it down You turned around And what was said Was said The deed is done You've had your fun And home again You'll run You know inside You'll never hide And what was done Was done It's always The same It's always In vain If the truth Were only known If the words Had only shown That lies and deception They move in one direction And then in the end you lose........ That lies and deception They move in one direction And then in the end you lose........ |

Here there lies
Under southern skies A young man loved by someone Known unto God Here there died Under foreign skies A young man loved by someone Known unto God Long to remain underground The boy who lost his name Weeping mother is homeward bound She failed to find his grave I can hear the wind and sea Forever they will be here to guard our sons Here there lies Under southern skies A young man loved by someone Known unto God Here there died Under foreign skies A young man loved by someone Known unto God Long to remain underground The girl who lost her love She will never hear the sound Of the boy who won't return I can hear the wind and sea Forever they will be here to guard our sons Known only unto God |

This is the story
Of a poor man's son He pulled himself up Turned his face to the sun He burned up the world with a heart on fire And tempted the stars when they hid their light Now everyone wants to touch the golden boy Now everyone wants to touch the golden boy They made melody To support his word He's the new high priest Of the scene and herd They sanctified Sid Till he puked up his life A prick for an idol What a very strange sight Now children are weeping In a hundred towns The spitfire word Shot the pilot down They shoved a rag Down the golden throat And put up a column Where the poor dog choked |

And if you could see your hand
That would help you understand All the things that we endured To be here right now On the way I lost some dreams Shattered other people's too Those remaining are my friends And they light a trail to you And if you could plainly see What was occurring round the bend Would it really change what happens in the end Once I loved a woman so I asked her to be my wife Now that love is indifferent For those years did I waste my life If we saw what was to be Would we just avoid the debris We're here to make our own mistakes And for that we've got to be free And if you could plainly see What was occurring round the bend Would it really change what happens in the end Am I too philosophical Should I look into a crystal ball Am I being too quizzical Or should I trust in fate And if you could see your hand That would help you understand All the things that we endured To be here right now And if you could plainly see What was occurring round the bend Would it really change what happens in the end Would it really change what happens in the end |

Your making plans to miss to morning train
You want all the world to feel your pain Tearing at the rules to ease your mind Sometimes days are dull without this light You see me staring down the wishing well Drowning in the stories kissed and fell Burning through the daze across the night Summer days are dull without this light I won't miss you, down where all the souls are broken I won't miss you, drowned where all the eyes are soaking I won't miss you, not gonna miss you Not gonna miss you, I won't miss you How I miss you Standing in the shadow of your ties Said you'd rather lived before it died Now the days had lost their sweet caress Decide it was right to taste the rest You said we really had to freeze the frame We'll meet another time the perfect plane But stars really don't mean that much to me Without their light there's nothing left to see I won't miss you, down where all the hearts are choking I won't miss you, drowned in all the stolen moments I won't miss you, not gonna miss you Not gonna miss you, I won't miss you How I miss you Maybe I lost, maybe I'm lost, break me tied knot Maybe I'm lost, maybe I'm lost, maybe I'm not |

Just like sinister she's going where the winds blow
Just like sinister she's going where the weak field glows That's right heavenly blue she'll sing songs of sad day to come Just like sinister she'll go where the heartbeat So sinister moving with streamline grace That's right heavenly blue she'll paint empty beaches black skies She got you fried to the back teeth Head hanging down She got a needle in your eye boy See all the blood running now You're rolling on empty tracks Not going to rest in peace Won't let you fall through the cracks Get off the ghost train And you give all your love to her Then she throws you away Just like sinister she's going where the wind blows So sinister she'll keep you warm keep you cold Get your money well spent Like heavenly blue she'll paint empty beaches black skies I don't care what she says or where she's been Such a sad decoy |

Hot town summer in the city
Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty Been down isn't it a pity Doesn't seen to be a shadow in the city All around me people looking half dead Choking on the sidewalk, it's hotter than a match head At night it's a different town Go out and find a girl Come on come on and dance all night Just what you need, it will be alright And babe don't you know it's a pity The days can't be like the nights In the summer in the city In the summer in the city Cool town meeting in the city Dressed so fine and looking so pretty Cool cat looking for a kitty Gonna look in every corner of the city 'till I'm wheezing at the bus stop Running up the stairs gonna meet you on the roof top At night it's a different town, go out and find a girl Come on come on and dance all night Just what you need it will be alright And babe don't you know it's a pity The days can't be like the night In the summer in the city In the summer in the city |
