I remember all the early days
Trying to think of the right things to say I didn't want you to think I was like the rest Who think they own you just because you've laid with them It didn't matter, really didn't matter It didn't matter now we are together There are crystal hearts just waiting to be smashed And out to break them are the ones who never last To soon today and gone tomorrow And taking with them just another little piece of you There are those who think its smart Thinking that they've stole your love and broke your heart Too much too soon and gone tomorrow Well my love doesn't need to lend or steal or borrow |

Daylight turns to moonlight, and I'm at my best
Praising the way it all works, gazing upon the rest; The cool before the warm, the calm after the storm; I wish to stay forever, letting this be my food But I'm caught up in a whirlwind and my ever changing moods. Bitter turns to sugar, some call a passive tune But the day things turn sweet, for me won't be too soon; The hush before the silence, the winds after the blast; I wish we'd move together, this time the bosses sued But we're caught up in the wilderness and an ever changing mood. Teardrops turn to children, who've never had the time To commit the sins they pay for through, another's evil mind; The love after the hate The love we leave too late; I wish we'd wake up one day, an' everyone feel moved But we're caught up in the dailies and an ever changing mood. Evil turns to statues, and masses form a line But I know which way I'd run to if the choice was mine; The past is knowledge, the present our mistake And the future we always leave too late; I wish we'd come to our senses and see there is no truth In those who promote the confusion for this ever changing mood ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By PAUL WELLER <i>Lyrics © Universal Music Publishing Group</i> |

I could be discontent and chase the rainbows end
I might win much more but lose all that is mine I could be a lot but I know I'm not I'm content just with the riches that you bring I might shoot to win and commit the sin Of wanting more than I've already got I could runaway but I'd rather stay In the warmth of your smile lighting up my day (the one that makes me say, hehe) 'Cause you're the best thing that ever happened to me or my world You're the best thing that ever happened, so don't go away I might be a king and steal my peoples things But I don't go for that power crazy way All that I could rule but I don't check for fools All that I need is to be left to live my way (say listen what I say) I could chase around for nothing to be found But why look for something that is never there I may get it wrong sometimes but I'll come back in style For I realize your love means more than anything (the song you make me sing, yeah) |

I was half in mind - I was half in need,
And as the rain came down - I dropped to my knees and prayed I said "oh Heavenly thing - please cleanse my soul, I've seen all on offer and I'm not impressed at all". I was halfway home - I was half insane, And every shop window I looked in just looked the same I said send me a sign to save my life 'Cause at this moment in time there is nothing certain in these day's of mine Y'see it's a frightening thing when it dawns upon you That I know as much as the day I was born And though I wasn't asked (I might as well stay) And promise myself each and every day - that - When you're knocked on your back - an' your life's a flop and when you're down on the bottom there's nothing else but to shout to the top - shout! |

As the rain comes down, upon this sad sweet earth
I lie awake at nights and - think about me All those usual things like what a fool I've been I curse the awful way - that I let you slip away For what was forged in love, is now cooling down With only myself to blame for playing that stupid game I thought I need only call and you would run But that day you never showed honey - well I sure learnt - That it seems I need you more each day Heaven knows why that it goes that way - Now it's far too late - an' I've lost this time - Like the Boy who cried Wolf An' yes - I know it's far too late To ever win you back - No tale of nightmare's at my gate - Could make you turn - My lost concern And now the night falls down, upon my selfish soul I sit alone and wonder - where did I go wrong? It always worked before you kept the wolf from my door But one day you never showed and honey - Now I'm not so sure - That is seems I need you more each day Heaven knows why that it goes that way - Now it's far too late - an' I've lost this time - Like the Boy who cried Wolf |

Your hair hangs in golden steps
You're a bonafide, in every respect You are walking through streets that mean nothing to you You believe you're above it and I don't really blame you Maybe that's why you speak like a child The things you're saying like I'm so free and so wild And I believe it when you look in my eyes You offer me a life and never lies Least only the kind to make me smile Your clothes are clean and your mind is productive It shops in stores where only the best buy You're cool and hard, never sound like a lecher It's probably true but at least there's no lecture I really like it when you speak like a child The crazy sayings like I'm so free and so wild You have to make a bargain with me now A promise that you won't change somehow No way, now how Spent all day thinking about you Spent all night coming to terms with it Time and conditions are built to tame Nothing lasts with age, so people say But I will always try to feel the same Spent all day thinking about you Spent all night coming to terms with it Time and conditions are built to tame Nothing lasts with age, so people say But I will always try to feel the same I really like it when you speak like a child I really like it when you speak like a child The way you hate the homely rank and the file The way you're so proud to be, oh, so free and so wild I really like it when you speak like a child I really like it when you speak like a child I really like it when you speak like a child The way you're so proud to be, oh, so free and so wild I really like it when you speak like a child I really like it when you speak like a child I really like it when you speak like a child The way you're so proud to be, oh, so free and so wild |

It's no good praying to the powers that be
'Cause they won't shake the roots of the money tree No good praying to the pristine alters Waiting for the blessing with Holy water They like the same old wealth in the same old hands Means the same old people stay old people stay in command Watch your money-go-round; watch your money-go-round They got it wrapped up tight, they got it safe and sound Watch your money-go-round; watch your money-go-round As you fall from grace and hit the ground Too much money in too few places Only puts a smile on particular faces Said too much power in not enough hands Makes me think "get rich quick; take all I can" They're too busy spending on the means of destruction To ever spend a penny on some real construction Watch the money-go-round; watch the money-go-round They amuse themselves as they fool around Watch your money-go-round; watch your money-go-round Do like they say, make them vulnerable No good looking to the Empire corners, "Civilization" built on slaughter Carrying hopes and carrying maps The spinless ones fall in their laps The brave and the bold are the ones to be fooled With a diet of lies by the Kipling school Watch your money-go-round; watch your money-go-round But I just can't help being cynical Watch your money-go-round; watch your money-go-round Do like I say, make me wonderful Their morals are clean and their clear They bend your arm and they bend your ear Said they bend your mind as you talk in circles Bend over forwards, this won't hurt you Till there's blood in your lap; blood on your hands Watch the money-go-round; watch the money-go-round Come spend a penny, go out with a pound Watch the money-go-round; watch the money-go-round As you fall from grace and hit the ground (On the money-go-round, you wanna get on but it won't slow down) The need your votes and you know where to send 'em Be we don't get the choice of a public referendum On all the real issues that affect our lives Like the USA base to which we play midwife Take a cruise and forget this scene Said come back later when the slates wiped clean Watch your money-go-round; watch your money-go-round Born of woman, killed by man Watch the money-go-round; watch your money-go-round Do like they pray, make it wonderful The good and righteous sing their hymns The crimpoline dresses who have no sins Christians by day, killers in war The hypocrites who know what they're fighting for Killing for peace, freedom and truth But they're too old to go so they send the youth Watch the money-go-round, watch the money-go-round I don't think he was an astronaut Watch the money-go-round, watch the money-go-round I must insist - he was a Socialist! Watch your money-go-round; watch your money-go-round They got it wrapped up tight, they got it safe and sound Watch your money-go-round; watch your money-go-round As you fall from grace and hit the ground |

I play out my role
Why I've even been out walking They tell me that it helps But I know when I'm beaten All those lonely films And all those lonely parties But now the feeling is off-screen An' the tears for real not acted, anymore I'm all mixed up inside I want to run but I can't hide And however much we try We can't escape the truth and the fact is Don't matter what I do It don't matter what I do Don't matter what I do Don't matter what I do Don't matter what I do 'Cause I end up hurting you One more covered sigh And one more glance you know means goodbye Can't you see that's why We're dashing ourselves against the rocks of a lifetime (In my mind different voices call) What once was pleasure now's pain for us all (In my heart only shadows fall) I once stood proud now I feel so small (I don't know whether to laugh or cry) The long hot summer just passed me by |

I know you have time
But believe me it will fly by, And if it don't treat you right I want you to know that you can call me. Into each life, some rain must fall But if the storm becomes too much for you all, Don't be afraid to enter my life I will be there when you call me. Don't let your pride get in the way of your view Of how we used to be, Oh, to you it's long ago, but to me, yesterday, The passing of time is like the crashing of waves It wears down on your memory and you can forget That if it all gets too much i will always be there For you to call me, if you need to call me. Into each life, some rain must fall But when the storm becomes too much for you all, Don't be ashamed to enter my life I will be there when you call me. |

Have you ever chased the night that sailed in front of you
On a boat that's bound for hope - but left you in the queue With your shouting, waving, taunting, flaunting friends as crew Telling you that every lie you ever heard was true Have you stood upon that deck - have you ever had it blue. Have you ever woke to find the morning didn't come Undelivered with the papers - stolen by someone Found the milkman bound and gagged and shackles ' round the sun And the holder of the keys turns out to be the one The girl you had your heart set on - have you ever had it blue. Have you ever watched the day, passing by your door Powerless to change its course, your feet fixed to the floor When all the people you thought you knew are changing more and more Even the girl you thought would see, seems only to ignore The only love worth fighting for - have you ever had it blue |

You don't have to take this crap
You don't have to sit back and relax You can actually try changing it I know we've always been taught to rely Upon those in authority - But you never know until you try How things just might be - If we came together so strongly Are you gonna try to make this work Or spend your days down in the dirt You see things can change - YES an' walls can come tumbling down! Governments crack and systems fall 'cause Unity is powerful - Lights go out - walls come tumbling down! The competition is a colour TV We're on still pause with the video machine That keep you slave to the H.P. Until the Unity is threatend by Those who have and who have not - Those who are with and those who are without And dangle jobs like a donkey's carrot - Until you don't know where you are Are you gonna realize The class war's real and not mythologized And like Jericho - You see walls can come tumbling down! Are you gonna be threatend by The public enemies No. 10 - Those who play the power game They take the profits - you take the blame - When they tell you there's no rise in pay Are you gonna try an' make this work Or spend your days down in the dirt - You see things CAN change - YES an' walls can come tumbling down! |
