Today, the town seems like a tomb
Everybody's locked up in his room Making love, or taking love - who cares If you take a walk out in the street Chances are there's someone that you'll meet If it's someone you know you'll say hello and good-bye Today's the very first day of the Spring A little girl's playing on her swing She doesn't know that a brand new show begins Now you come and tell me that you're sad But you never talk about it when you're glad You criticise, and you shut your eyes - that's too bad Banana |

People say that they want to be free
They look at him and they look at me But it's only themselves they're wanting to see And everybody knows about it We talk all night and we're all turned on Everybody heard him singing his song Telling us all there was work to be done And everyone sung a chorus of I am the walrus Yes Disneyland has come to town Everyone's dressed and standing around Alice is wearing her sexiest gown But she doesn't want you to look at her Beautiful people are queuing to drown They wait for the lifeguard to put on his crown But he's up at the other end of town Trying to talk to the mirror The scientist talks and he knows what he means He sits on the floor and has beautiful dreams Then he gets brought down by a woman who screams But he knows it's only a record… Oh yes it is His brave new girl stops feeding the ants And looks at him with her septic pants She still knows how to make him dance And forget about emancipation… it's just imagination And you and I we sit and hum We know something's got to come And get us off our endless bum There's probably one in the bathroom Or even in the hall |

She's got a feeling for the Spring
I've got another song to sing Girl on a swing Girl on a swing Girl on a swing, On a swing Such a pretty thing She's not a victim of despair She's just a feeling in the air Girl on a swing Girl on a swing Girl on a swing, On a swing Such a pretty thing She sways, silently she sings Her song gives my body wings Girl on a swing Girl on a swing Girl on a swing, On a swing Such a pretty thing |

On a railway train to anywhere,
Something happened finally. The driver said he saw no station And we were riding aimlessly. The train was filled with sleeping passengers, Going nowhere for the ride; Spoken whispers filled the carriages No one cared to look outside. Conversation aimed at anyone Bouncing questions off the wall; Except for two excited children. Burning caterpillars in the hall. All at once, I got quite frightened.. Standing up, I gave a shout! "I see a station just in front of me , Stop this train and let me out!" The driver smiled and shook his head for me, "This train don't stop for anyone. And, if you want to leave this railway line, You'll have to jump off on your own. Someone came and gave me sandwiches, Saying that I looked unwell. He took my pulse and he gave it back to me, And then he hit me with his bell. He made a speech to all the passengers, He said "I've been a place today; And anyone who'd care to come with me.. Step outside and walk this way." Inside the seats were warm and comfortable, Outside the train was wild and strange. I said, "Yes, sir, I'd like to come with you, It's really time I made a change." I left my seat and walked up front with him, And he began to push the door. I looked outside, but it nearly blinded me.. I'd never seen such light before. |

What do you know about nothing people?
You sell yourself so you can buy more What do you care about bluffing people? Does it make you want to try more? We know what you mean We know what you've seen We understand What do you care about bluffing people Throwing sparrows from the treetops What do you care about nothing people? When you're waiting at the bus stop I'm very glad to hear that We understand the sky will be visible soon We understand the sky will be visible soon Soon soon soon you will be obliged to try Soon soon soon to reach your moon and die What do you care about nothing people? You sell yourself so you can buy more What do you care about nothing people? And does it make you want to try more? It's very nice to know Everybody sing now An optimistic future |

I just came in off the street
Looking for somewhere to eat I find a small cafe I see a girl and then I say 'May I sit and stare at you for a while? I'd like the company of your smile' You don't have to say a thing You're the song without the sing The sunlight in your hair You look so good just sitting there 'May I sit and stare at you for a while? I'd like the company of your smile' |

I walked into this bar
And the man refused; He said, "we don't serve strangers In blue suede shoes; We don't give credit, and We don't give way We have to think about what the people might say.. Uh, you know what i mean..." I said, "sure, man" Oh, he gave me a smile that was sickly and wet, And i offered him one of my cigarettes. He took it, afraid that he might appear rude, Then proceeded to sell me some second class food. Nice guy - meet 'em everywhere.. . He said, "my oh my, i have suffered too long, And this cigarette seems to be very strong; I don't make the rules I just get what i take And i guess every rule was made to break. You can take what you like, it won't hurt me Cause i'm just working for the company." From the green cigarette, he took a long drag, And said, "i think i'll pick my travelling bag. I'm tired of cheating, and wasting my head And filling the boss's bags with bread. I want to get out in the sun and rain, And feel the wind on on skin again; The world is large, and i've got time yet. And, by the way, thanks for that cigarette.. Thank you very much." "you know, i feel like a new man Yes i do, i don't know why; I'd just like to say Thank you very much(indeed) It's a beautiful day I think i'll be on my way (right away) I'd just like to say Thank you very much. Yes, i'm getting the hell out of here Yes, i am - bye, bye. That's the end of the message Thank you very much. Bye bye... |

This is a song from the bottom of a well
There are things down here I've got to try and tell; It's dark and light at the very same time, The water sometimes seems like wine. I learned some information way down here That might fill your heart and soul with fear; But don't you worry, no don't be afraid ... I'm not in the magical mystery trade. My imagination begins to purr As things don't happen, they just occur. Softly crackling electrical smell, There's something burning at the bottom of this well. Sitting here alone I just have to laugh I see all the universe as a comfortable bath; I drown my body so my mind is free To indulge in pleasurable fantasies. There's something strange going on down here .. A sickening implosion of mistrust and fear. A vast corruption that's about to boil A mixture of greed and the smell of oil. This is a song from the bottom of a well I didn't move here, I just fell. But I'm not complaining, I don't even care 'Cause if I'm not here, then it's not there. |

Oh my - I
really try but I just don't get any- -where. You might say it only seems that way. And I could find something everywhere. And maybe I agree with you. But I'd just like to say this too. Its All very fine, if you're really divine. And everybody wants you bad. You can take what you please with the greatest of ease. And nobody will let you be sa-a-ad. But Oh my, the days go by. I make no connection at all. I drink this wine in the bright sunshine. A- waiting for a star to fa-a-all. I must be like a million souls, who got nobody at all. To warm their hearts, and give them a start, spinning in the bright blue sky. On the wings of love that could take them above, to places where the penguins fly-y-y. But Oh my. Do I get high Lady, when I'm next to you. You're so crazy and wild, such a happy child. You make a lot of loving too-oo-oo (well I should say so) |

You're such a magical child I found that The first time you smiled And the more i get to know you The more I am amazed To find in someone Such tender loving ways And just like everybody sings When the sunshine makes them high I sing this gentle love song From a flower to a butterfly From a flower to a butterfly..... |

I'm looking 'round madly
for something to find That might give me a front To put something, something behind. Just bouncing this ball Up and down the hall But it's full of best wishes and suffocating fishes, and all. So, let's drink some wine And have a good time. But if you really want to come through Let the good time, good time have you. It's what you've got to do. You said it was foolish for me to be sad; But I'm very hungry, and you.. You're very well fed, You're such a fat lady. And I'm talking to you just for something to do 'Cause I'd much rather kiss you But I know, I'm gonna miss you Again and again, I know I'm gonna miss you. So, let's drink some wine, etc. I sing to the island That sings in your head 'Cause I know you'd much rather be there Be there instead. I know you'd rather be there... But you won't find the answer Even when the wind blows; 'Cause the answer, my friend is in front.. Right there in front of your nose Everybody knows, it's their nose. So, let's drink some wine, etc. (repeat) |

Watch her out there on display
Dancing in her sleepy way While all her visions start to play On the icicles of our decay. Fading flowers in her hair She's suffering from wear and tear She lies in waterfalls of dreams And never questions what it means. And all along the desert shore She wanders further evermore The only thing that's left to try… She says to live I have to die. She whispers sadly well I might And holds herself so very tight Then jumping from an unknown height She merges with the liquid night. Lovers wrap her mist in furs And tell her what she has is hers But when they take her by the hand She slips back in the desert sand. But what she leaves is made of glass And lovers worship as they pass Each one says - now she is mine But all drink solitary wine. (Drink it to Marlene) |

You are the most extraordinary person
You write the most peculiar kind of tunes I met you floating as I was boating One Afternoon Wasn't it the most amazing meeting surrounded by those monsters from the deep You started telling me a funny story, and I fell asleep Oh Wot a dream that was We went for a glide across the country I was hungry after traveling so far. You offered me your one and only sandwich, I said "How kind you are". Wasn't it the most amazing feeling? 'Cause everything was really as it seemed. You are the most extraordinary person I've ever dreamed. |

So many problems, yet none at all
So many windows through every wall So many feelings you won't express So many failures you call success Don't let it get you down You cry over loosing, what you never really had Just remember the good times alongside the bad Remember that real love never disappears It is lost in a moment, it lasts for years Don't let it get you down Don't let it fool you in any way You know your tomorrow depends on today If you're carrying nothing it won't weigh you down You are the king and queen, you are the crown Don't let it get you down |

Yes you may write that down And for a little money I am extremely funny. I play before the audience I make them laugh and shout And when they've laughed for quite a while The door man lets them out, bye bye. You ask me how I do my act This is my reply I climb up on a ladder And announce that I will fly. You ask me how I do my act This is my reply I climb up on a ladder And announce that I will fly. |

It begins with a blessing
But it ends with a curse Making life easy But making it worse My mask is my master The trumpeter weeps But his voice is so weak As he speaks from his sleep Saying Why why why are we sleeping? Now people are watching People who stare Waiting for something That's already there Tomorrow I'll find it The trumpeter screams Then remembers that he's hungry And he drowns in his dreams Singing Why why why are we sleeping? My head is a night club With glasses and wine But the customers dancing They're just marking time You can turn to your partner and say How does it seem? And she will look at you and say Get out of my dream ... Oh why why why are we sleeping? Once I awakened my eyes filled with tears I had been sleeping for thousands of years Dreaming a life full of problems and sadness Endlessly turning in spirals of madness Where the wind blows That's where it all goes It follows the song Like its dream ... singing ... So it begins with a blessing But it ends with a curse Making life easy But making it worse Just turn to your partner and say How does it seem? He'll look at you and say Get out of my dream Why why why are we sleeping? |

After the music of the rock and roll show
I started walking out nowhere special to go. I heard someone singing in a voice so sad, This is what I heard her singing Chorus 'who's going to take me home After the show? I'm feeling really lonely And I've nowhere to go Oh take me to your party And I'll dance all night And hold you tight till morning comes'. I walked up to her, took her by the hand. I said 'sad lady, yes, I understand And I will stay with you if you want me to And we can sing this song together' Repeat chorus After the music of the rock and roll show I started walking home somewhere special to go Our love grows stronger as time goes by But we can still remember singing Repeat chorus twice |

There is no volunteer for the common good Still waiting for the Saviour to appear But He's s not here And no one's coming down to save your soul You're the only ones who can assume that role But your minds are empty and you've lost control To the ones who sell you dreams To fill that hole Some of us I know seem to have much more Born with a key to every door Distribution of fortune seems unfair Same everywhere And those who have they just want more Using other peoples weakness to increase their score Do you really know who you're working for It's not for one another and that s for sure Guess you know by now or ac least you should There is no volunteer for the common good Still waiting for that Saviour to appear But He's still not here And no one's s coming down to save your soul You're the only ones who can assume that role But your minds are empty And you've lost control To the ones who sell you dreams To fill that hole |

Farewell again please come back someday
It's getting harder every time I have to say goodbye Oh fare you well So many feelings I know we share Like being here and wanting to be there And when you're asked where that is you Say you don't know It s just somewhere else and you have to go So you go You always go, where do you go So many choices you have to run Because when life is made too easy It s much harder to simply have fun Now you're always on the run You panic when someone tries to unfold you Scream for the dream that seems to hold you You want to give love but only on condition That it's on your terms and that position is lonely This I know Don't get me wrong I'm not pushing you down Or trying to change your mind Your problems are my problems too And I'm talking just as much to myself As I am to you Farewell again please come back someday It's getting harder every time I have to say goodbye Fare You Well Fare You Well Fare You Well |

Looks like another night of tears You're not here so I can't turn to you Now I know what needing someone really means Yes I do, And I need you It's so hard when you're not here I believe but I still fear It's so hard not knowing where you are Now I know what missing someone really means Yes I do, And I miss you Still don't know just where you are Distances are all too far Are you well or are you crying too? Now I know what loving someone really means Yes I do, And I love you |

When the angostura runs a little low
And your gin has lost that soft and roosy glow And time is rushing by, but it seems slow Just live dangerously once before you go If you take the bite right out of Mr. Snake He'll assume the reputation of a fake Until someone comes along, someone fearless someone strong And gives that Mr. Snake a mighty shake But who wants to shake with a snake? Who wants to shake with a snake? Who would help a simple adder to be happy to be gladder? Who wants to shake with a snake? Who wants to shake with a snake? Who would help a simple adder to be happy to be gladder? Who wants to shake with a snake? Who wants to shake with a snake? Who wants to shale with a snake? I ask you. |

There was moonlight and laughter
That danced on the sands And bloodstained pianos Are played without hands Such a promising music Sweet whispers and dreams From a travelling window, The salesman who screamed. Moonlight, Saturday night It's now or never Oh play Stormy Weather, for me, for me. I lived in the flower shop Called "Love is So Sweet!" And I get all my kicks From the customers' feet. Well, I'm just a stranger, None stranger than I. My head in the quicksand My feet in the sky. I was carefully crazy When playing the game. 'Cause business is business And I'm not to blame. Climb on my back It's a wet afternoon ; A bottle of booze, A bit of a tune to sing; Goodbye, everything; Goodbye, everything.... |

As the doors all close
And the wind blows rows And the moonlight flows Nowhere, nowhere, nowhere. As the stars collide And the horsemen glide And my mind just slides Nowhere, nowhere, nowhere. And the streams stream streams And my dreams dream dreams And the question screams Nowhere, nowhere, nowhere. As the dawn warm forms On the well-kept lawns Of the pawns that swarm Nowhere, nowhere, nowhere. And the song returns To a heart that yearns For a flame that burns Nowhere, nowhere, nowhere. |

Nothing comes easy
You've got to put your money down Never let your honey down, When she's on your side. You want love, they want houses, Better dig in your trousers Put your money where your mouth is Pull out that cash, from your stash. And then, pay through the nose, buying buttons and bows And never-ending clothes Keep your love in style... Ooh, money, money, ooh, money, money Where does it go? Down in some bottomless ditch. Ooh, money, money, ooh money, money Guess you all know-- Your money goes back to the rich, la ti da.. Your money goes back to the rich. There ain't no way around it You can't joke, you can't tease her When she wants a new freezer, It's a serious thing. And she knows you'll pay double To avoid any trouble; She knows you can't stand to squabble; And you're bound to give in.. So you pay, once again, through the nose for a new quelque chose, And you throw in a rose To give your love a thrill. Ooh, money, money, etc. You get moonlight in the evening Sunshine by day; That's all you get for nothing You want more? Ooh, money, money, etc. |

Floating on moonlight
With my head on your knee; But, once again, babe I'm thinking about me. And, though we're feeling close And touching, too; You have to admit, babe, You're thinking about you. And, where do the stars end If I'm here all alone? And why am I feeling So far from home? Spoonful of moonlight A bottle of wine Just look at all those stars You're gonna have a good time. Out there in the darkness With the wolf and the owl; Oh, what does it matter If you scream or you howl? And, where do the stars end If I'm here all alone? And why am I feeling So far from home? Love is that stranger Who comes knocking at your door. Gives you a sweet taste Leaves you howling for more. You get that taste You've got to take it; But when you want more (and you will) You're gonna have to make it. And, where do the stars end If I'm here all alone? And why am I feeling So far from home? |

I walked into this bar
And the man refused; He said, "we don't serve strangers In blue suede shoes; We don't give credit, and We don't give way We have to think about what the people might say.. Uh, you know what i mean..." I said, "sure, man" Oh, he gave me a smile that was sickly and wet, And i offered him one of my cigarettes. He took it, afraid that he might appear rude, Then proceeded to sell me some second class food. Nice guy - meet 'em everywhere.. . He said, "my oh my, i have suffered too long, And this cigarette seems to be very strong; I don't make the rules I just get what i take And i guess every rule was made to break. You can take what you like, it won't hurt me Cause i'm just working for the company." From the green cigarette, he took a long drag, And said, "i think i'll pick my travelling bag. I'm tired of cheating, and wasting my head And filling the boss's bags with bread. I want to get out in the sun and rain, And feel the wind on on skin again; The world is large, and i've got time yet. And, by the way, thanks for that cigarette.. Thank you very much." "you know, i feel like a new man Yes i do, i don't know why; I'd just like to say Thank you very much(indeed) It's a beautiful day I think i'll be on my way (right away) I'd just like to say Thank you very much. Yes, i'm getting the hell out of here Yes, i am - bye, bye. That's the end of the message Thank you very much. Bye bye... |

I have been called a down
Yes you may write that down And for a little money I am extremely funny. I play before the audience I make them laugh and shout And when they've laughed for quite a while The door man lets them out, bye bye. You ask me how I do my act This is my reply I climb up on a ladder And announce that I will fly. You ask me how I do my act This is my reply I climb up on a ladder And announce that I will fly. |

I'm looking 'round madly
for something to find That might give me a front To put something, something behind. Just bouncing this ball Up and down the hall But it's full of best wishes and suffocating fishes, and all. So, let's drink some wine And have a good time. But if you really want to come through Let the good time, good time have you. It's what you've got to do. You said it was foolish for me to be sad; But I'm very hungry, and you.. You're very well fed, You're such a fat lady. And I'm talking to you just for something to do 'Cause I'd much rather kiss you But I know, I'm gonna miss you Again and again, I know I'm gonna miss you. So, let's drink some wine, etc. I sing to the island That sings in your head 'Cause I know you'd much rather be there Be there instead. I know you'd rather be there... But you won't find the answer Even when the wind blows; 'Cause the answer, my friend is in front.. Right there in front of your nose Everybody knows, it's their nose. So, let's drink some wine, etc. (repeat) |

You are the most extraordinary person
You write the most peculiar kind of tunes I met you floating as I was boating One Afternoon Wasn't it the most amazing meeting surrounded by those monsters from the deep You started telling me a funny story, and I fell asleep Oh Wot a dream that was We went for a glide across the country I was hungry after traveling so far. You offered me your one and only sandwich, I said "How kind you are". Wasn't it the most amazing feeling? 'Cause everything was really as it seemed. You are the most extraordinary person I've ever dreamed. |

Sometimes I get too drunk,
I feel so goddamned low I have no place to go, no one to turn to I think about your loving arms, where I'd like to be But it's selfish as can be, and I know it And if I'm sorry for myself, I'm sorry for you too 'Cause I'm the same as you, and I'm burning So I sing for everyone who feels there's no way out So maybe if you all shout someone will hear you Listen to them shout I won't say that I love you, 'cause that would be a lie I can only say I try, and you know it Love is something more or less than words can hope to say It's something day to day in the life we're living Lovers come and lovers go but friends are hard to find Yes I can count all mine on one finger So I sing for everyone who feels there's no way out So maybe if you all shout someone will hear you Listen to them shout The distance that's between us, it just never seems to change There's a whole mountain range of misunderstanding So I sing for everyone who feels there's no way out So maybe if you all shout someone will hear you Listen to them shout |

So many problems, yet none at all
So many windows through every wall So many feelings you won't express So many failures you call success Don't let it get you down You cry over loosing, what you never really had Just remember the good times alongside the bad Remember that real love never disappears It is lost in a moment, it lasts for years Don't let it get you down Don't let it fool you in any way You know your tomorrow depends on today If you're carrying nothing it won't weigh you down You are the king and queen, you are the crown Don't let it get you down |

After the music of the rock and roll show
I started walking out nowhere special to go. I heard someone singing in a voice so sad, This is what I heard her singing Chorus 'who's going to take me home After the show? I'm feeling really lonely And I've nowhere to go Oh take me to your party And I'll dance all night And hold you tight till morning comes'. I walked up to her, took her by the hand. I said 'sad lady, yes, I understand And I will stay with you if you want me to And we can sing this song together' Repeat chorus After the music of the rock and roll show I started walking home somewhere special to go Our love grows stronger as time goes by But we can still remember singing Repeat chorus twice |
