I'm an English boy
I was brought up right Hold me down And I will bite I know no fear I serve with joy I'm proud to be here An English boy I feel like a stray dog Blurred like a movie You say you've come to arrest me But you're just trying to test me I'm bored with your prejudice Spreading like a fever Your promises to train me Are just attempts to restrain me I'm an English boy Precisely made Pin me down I am not afraid I show no fear I will serve with joy I'm proud to be here An English boy Use me like a headline Cut pieces to pieces I'm black on the tube line Red on the touch-line Freezing up the future Stopping every stopwatch You say we're moving like an oil slick Thicker than a house brick I'm an English boy I was brought up right If you raise your dress Then I will bite My voice is clear I got perfect poise Good to be down here With all the English boys And I don't know where I am now Or where I'm gonna go I just keep going round and round on the circle line Like some demented kind a cummuta Trying to avoid paying for my ticket I'm a lost soul I read about myself in the newspapers I'm a pig I'm a thug I've got nowhere to go but down Feel like I'm kicking at a dead man Kicking in the chorus I'm broken by hatred While politicians just ignore us You never gave me any value You didn't give me any reason There's no tools and no toys For any English boys I'm an English boy I was brought up right Hold me down And I will bite I know no fear I will serve with joy I'm proud to be here An English boy I'm an English boy I'm an English boy I'm an English boy No tools, no toys for any English boy English boy |

Street in the city. Street in the city on a working day.
Street in the city. Street in the city on a working day. There's a man up on that ledge. He's only cleaning windows. What a shame, who's to blame, for the pain with his sin, Gonna lean back on my wall and pray for him to fall. See that man going in the bank with a blue suit? He's carrying a bag full of very important papers. There's old Mac trying to busk with his new flute. Did you read about the Cambridge raper? Street in the city. Street in the city on a working day. Street in the city. Street in the city on a working day. Those girls pass every day. They seem to think I'm funny. It's just a game that they're playing till they can claim their personal man. Gonna lean back on my wall and pray for her knickers to fall. See that woman with a bun in her hair?. Don't she know that ain't still done anywhere? See that man going in the Wig and Pen? He was charged with telling lies again. I see the world go by as I lean against my wall. I watch as Fleet Street makes new heroes rise and fall. The news is written in the eyes of us all. On is a sinner. One is a saint, but most of us worry about showing up late. I'm gonna lean back on my wall and pray for him to fall. Street in the city. Street in the city on a working day. Street in the city. Street in the city on a working day. There's a man up on that ledge. He's only cleaning windows. What a shame. Who's to blame for the pain? |

There once was a note pure and easy
Playing so free like a breathe rippling by The note is eternal I hear it, it sees me Forever we blend as forever we die I listened and I heard music in a word And words when you played your guitar The noise that I was hearing was a million people cheering And a child flew past me riding in a star As people a**emble civilization is trying to find a new way to die But killing is really merely scene changer All men are bored with other men's lives I listened and I heard music in a word And words when you played your guitar The noise that I was hearing was a million people cheering And a child flew past me riding in a star Gas on the hillside Oil in the tea cup Watch all the chords of life lose their joy Distortion becomes somehow pure in its wildness The note that began all can also destroy We all know success when we all find our own dream And our love is enough to knock down any wall And the future's been seen as men try to realize The simple secret of the note in us all In us all I listened and I heard music in a word And words when you played your guitar The noise that I was hearing was a million people cheering And a child flew past me riding in a star Today is the day the sound curdles mountains Flowing and blowing each man in its wake Destroying itself in the end with vibration There's nothing on earth it's challenge can take Excepting one note Excepting one note pure and easy Playing so free like breath rippling by Excepting one note Excepting one note Excepting one note, pure and easy Excepting one note, pure and easy (repeated) There once was a note listen There once was a note listen There once was a note listen There once was a note listen |

I was just thirty-four years old and I was still wandering in a haze
I was wondering why everyone I met seemed like they were Lost in a maze I don't know why I thought I should have some kind of Divine right to the blues It's sympathy not tears people need when they're the Front page sad news. The incense burned away and the stench began to rise And lovers now estranged avoided catching each others' eyes And girls who lost their children cursed the men who fit the coil And men not fit for marriage took their refuge in the oil No one respects the flame quite like the fool who's badly burned From all this you'd imagine that there must be something learned Slit skirts, Jeanie never wears those slit skirts I don't ever wear no ripped shirts Can't pretend that growing older never hurts. Knee pants, Jeanie never wears no knee pants Have to be so drunk to try a new dance So afraid of every new romance Slit skirts, slit skirt Jeanie isn't wearing those slit skirts, slit skirt She wouldn't dare in those slit skirts, slit skirt Wouldn't be seen dead in no slit skirt Slit skirts, slit skirt Jeanie isn't wearing those slit skirts, slit skirt She wouldn't dare in those slit skirts, slit skirt Wouldn't be seen dead in no slit skirt Romance, romance, why aren't we thinking up romance? Why can't we drink it up true heart romance Just need a brief new romance Let me tell you some more about myself, you know I'm sitting at home just now. The big events of the day are passed and the late TV shows have come around. I'm number one in the home team, but I still feel unfulfilled. A silent voice in her broken heart complaining that I'm unskilled. And I know that when she thinks of me, she thinks of me as him, But, unlike me, she don't work off her frustration in the gym. Recriminations fester and the past can never change A woman's expectations run from both ends of the range Once she walked with untamed lovers' face between her legs Now he's cooled and stifled and it's she who has to beg Slit skirts, Jeanie never wears those slit skirts And I don't ever wear no ripped shirts Can't pretend that growing older never hurts Knee pants, Jeanie never wears no knee pants We have to be so drunk to try a new dance So afraid of every new romance Slit skirts, slit skirt Jeanie isn't wearing those slit skirts, slit skirt She wouldn't dare in those slit skirts, slit skirt Wouldn't be seen dead in no slit skirt Slit skirts, slit skirt Jeanie isn't wearing those slit skirts, slit skirt She wouldn't dare in those slit skirts, slit skirt Wouldn't be seen dead in no slit skirt Romance, romance, why aren't we thinking up romance? Why can't we drink it up true heart romance Just need a brief new romance |

I remember being richer than a king
The minutes of the day were golden I recall that when the joint passed 'round My body felt a little colder But now I'm like a sewer channel Running lime and scag Let me get at the master panel Let me at my stack The sea refuses no river And right now This river's banks are blown The sea refuses no river Whether stinking and rank Or red from the tank Whether pure as a spring There's no damn thing stops the poem The sea refuses no river And this river is homeward flowing I have seen a trace of strain In other's eyes, not spoken I must admit that I enjoyed their pain But this time it's me that's broken I demand for you and His This must be the time When we decide what freedom is Turn water into wine For the sea refuses no river We're polluted now But in our hearts still clean The sea refuses no river We tried not to age But time had it's rage We're washed over the stones From babies into clones of the mean The sea won't refuse this muddy river Won't deny the sulfurous stream There was a fool in a dressing robe Riding out the twilight hour Lonely and cold in an empty home Trying to assess his power But now he's like a stream in flood Swollen by the storm He doesn't care if he sheds his blood Let him be reborn The sea refuses no river Remember that When the beggar buys a round The sea refuses no river And rain fills the gutters No time for stutters This is our chance To sing and to dance and to clown The sea refuses no river And rivers were sprung to drown The sea refuses no river No pecking code Respected for the damned The sea refuses no river Whether starving and ill Or strung on some pill Just 'cos you own the land There's no unique hand plugs the dam The sea refuses no river And the river is where I am The river is where I am |

They say that love often passes in a second
And you can never catch it up So I'm hanging on to you as though eternity beckon But it's clear that the match is rough Common sense'd tell me not to try and continue But I'm after a piece of that diamond in you So keep an eye open, my spirit ain't broken Your love is so incredible, your body so edible You give me an overdose of love That just a little is enough I'm like a connoisseur of champagne cognac The perfume nearly beats the taste I eat an oyster and I feel the contact But more than one would be a waste Some people want an endless line that's true But all I have is a little time with you A smile sets me reeling, a kiss feel like stealing Your love is like heroin, this addict is mellowing I can't pretend that I'm tough Just a little is enough Just like a sailor heading into the seas There's a gale blowing in my face The high winds scare me but I need the breeze And I can't head for any other place Life would seem so easy on the other tack But even a hurricane won't turn me back You might be an island on the distant horizon But the little I see, looks like heaven to me And I don't care if the ocean gets rough Just a little is enough Common sense'd tell me not to try and continue But I'm after a piece of that diamond in you So keep an eye open, my spirit ain't broken Your love is so incredible, your body so edible You give me an overdose of love A little is enough |

Face the face, got to face the face
Face the face, got to face the face You must have heard the cautionary tales The dangers hidden on the cul-de-sac trails From wiser men who've been through it all And the ghosts of failures spray-canned up on the wall We've got to judge the judge Got to find the finds We've got to scheme the schemes Have to line the lines We must stake the stakes And show the shown We must take the takes And know the known Try to place the place Where we can face the face. We got to face the face Try to place the place Where we can face the face Face the face,got to face the face. Face the face,got to face the face. Got to Got to You must have tried and defied belief Maybe found futility in insular grief I need your hunger you need mine A million appetites can swallow up time. We've got to fool the fools We got to plan the plans We got to rule the rules We got to stand the stands We got to fight the fight We must fall the falls We got to light the light We got to call the calls We must race the race So we can face the face We got to race the race We must race the race So we can face the face Face the face We got to face the face We got to race the race We got to Keep looking New York! Chicago! London and Glasgow! Keep looking! Keep on looking Keep on cooking Got to stay on this case Study the pix Watch the flix We've got to find the face. Face the face ,got to face the face Watch the flix Got to We've got to judge the judge We got to find the finds We've got to scheme the schemes We got to line the lines We got to fight the fight We got to fall the falls We got to light the light We got to call the calls Try to place the place Where we can face the face. We got to face the face Try to place the place Where we can face the face. Try to place the place Where we can face the face. Keep looking, keep looking We must race the race So we can face the face. We got to race the race We must race the race. So we can face the face We got to face the face We got to race the race |

On Easy St. last night
The devil offered me a deal He said, come on and take what you'd like, And later tell me how you feel So I looked up all around On this uneasy street I'd have been happy if I had found something simple to eat But just as he asked me Maureen walked past I said, Mr. Devil, she is so refined. He said, I tricked you little brother I tricked you little brother That tricky little mother is mine. I wish I was as good as I look I wish I was that good I wish I was as good as I look Wish I could be that good It was too late for me I'd just set eyes on my heart's ideal I was in ecstasy I was up and ready to steal So I looked up all around on this uneasy street I kept on looking until I found the prints of my beloved's feet I kept up the chase 'til I looked right in her face I said, My darling you have angel's eyes She said to this little brother You knew little brother This is just his still mother's disguise I wish I was as good as I look I wish I was that good I wish I was as good as I look wish I could be that good I just could not believe someone so beautiful could not be pure I prayed for some reprieve I had to save her from the Devil's lure But I guess the Devil was bound to win On this uneasy street I had to know what was beneath her skin I had to face up to the Devil's heat But I didn't have to ask she just took off her mask In a second it was clear to see He said, I tricked you little brother I tricked you little brother This tricky little mother...is me. Is me Is me I wish I was as good as I look I wish I was that good I wish I was as good as I look wish I could be that good I wish I was as good as I look I tricked you little brother I wish I was as good as I look wish I could be that good, yeah yeah! I tricked you, little brother! I wish I was as good as I look wish I could be that... I tricked you, little brother. |
