From birth to five, you're learning
From five to ten, you're playing By the time you're fifteen You're never wrong But then you turn around And it's all gone, your childhood Now daddy knows what he's saying You're in my arms and I'm praying That I'll be given the strength and time To make yours just as happy as mine Your childhood Every morning Your crying ends my sleep I kid on I'm angry But it's not a feeling I can keep There's no light outside I don't care 'cos I know it's true That in our house The sun shines out of you You've got your mother's looks Your're a beautiful little girl You'll break boys hearts All over this world Then one day you'll walk out the door And I know you'll break mine You'll break mine From birth to five, you're learning From five to ten, you're playing By the time you're fifteen you're never wrong But then you turn around and it's all gone Your childhood So you're trying to talk Any day now you'll walk You'll be running around Make me act like a clown 'Cos I live and I breathe For my little girl Our little girl The most important thing is this whole wide world Now daddy know what he's saying Your in my arms and I'm praying That I'll be given the strength an time To make yours just as happy as mine Your childhood |

When I was a young boy
My mama said to me There's only one girl in the world for you But she probably lives in Tahiti I'd go the whole wide world I'd go the whole wide world Just to find her Or maybe she's in the Bahamas Where the Carribean sea is blue Weeping in a tropical moonlit night Because nobody's told her 'bout you I'd go the whole wide world I'd go the whole wide world Just to find her I'd go the whole wide world I'd go the whole wide world Find out where they hide her Why am I hanging around in the rain out here Trying to pick up a girl Why are my eyes filling up with these lonely tears When there're girls all over the world Is she lying on a tropical beach somewhere Underneath the tropical sun Pining away in a heatwave there Hoping that I won't be long I should be lying on that sun-soaked beach with her Caressing her warm brown skin And then in a year or maybe not quite We'll be sharing the same next of kin I'd go the whole wide world I'd go the whole wide world Just to find her I'd go the whole wide world I'd go the whole wide world Find out where they hide her |

What makes you cry?
'Cos I haven't seen any water In the corners of your eyes For a day, or a week Or a month, or a year Haven't seen much of you Since you left me my dear Can't you see that I'm hurting How I'm falling apart Don't you care about my drinking Or my poor lonely heart I thought you liked football You didn't mind those videos And my dog didn't mean To ruin your clothes (he can't help it) Now you won't take my phone calls You sent my letters back You're paying for a lawyer To stab me in the back Then I saw you on the street You looked happy, that's a fact I'm impressed - it's a hell of an act Angel - admit it, admit it Darlin' - admit it, admit it Your love for me didn't die It's just sleepin' Now I hope you can hear me Wherever you are In a cheap hotel room Or the back seat of a car I make up those situations I don't know if they're true But I'll tell you, for now, they'll do Angel - admit it, admit it Darlin' - admit it, admit it Your love for me didn't die It's just sleepin' And it wakes every night To your weeping' Now I've got a question bady What makes you cry? |

I've been so sad
Since you said my accent was bad He's worn a frown This Caledonia clown I'm just going to have to learn to hesitate To make sure my words On your Saxen ears don't grate But I wouldn't know a single word to say If I flattened all the vowels And threw the 'are' away You say that if I want to get ahead The language I use should he left for dead It doesn't please your ears And though you tell it like a leg pull I think your still full of John Bull You just refuse to bear Some days I stand On your green and pleasant land Now dare I show face When my diction is such a disgrace Oh what can I do To be understood by you Perhaps for some money I could talk like a bee dripping honey. |

Don't get me wrong
Don't mind you shouting Just think your style excludes The part that really matters Just grow tired Of empty minds Mouthing English language courses While they struggle with the A B C of heart The A B C of heart The A B C of heart The A B C of heart [Incomprehensible] And I confess that all I've learnt Has been learnt a million times With every empty heart That ever felt a song come home Felt a song come home Felt a song come home Felt a song come home But I'd he happy When next, I ask the time If I find I've wasted none of mine Listening while you wasted all of yours You wasted all of yours Wasted all of yours Wasted all of yours You wasted all of yours You wasted all of yours You wasted all of yours You wasted all of yours But don't get me wrong 'Cause I don't mind you shouting I just think your style excludes The part that really matters Don't get me wrong 'Cause I don't mind you shouting I just think your style excludes your heart |

The life that I've been living
From the day I first drew breath Has been my way of forgetting I'm on the journey to my death You make my soul rise up You make my eyes to see When I place my faith in you And I lose my belief in me The less I believe in me The more I believe in thee The less I believe in me The more I believe in thee I don't believe in beads or crystals Instant karma or mother earth I don't believe that what I think Makes any difference to what I'm worth I don't believe in reincarnation I'm not coming back as a flower I don't bow my head to kings or priests 'Cos I believe in your higher power The less I believe in me The more I believe in thee The less I believe in me The more I believe in thee Oh you've given me a plan That I don't understand 'Cos I've wandered over half the world But I've remained an ignorant man One thing That I know Is when the final bell tolls Human love won't be enough Good deeds can't save my soul Well I'm not afraid of dying But I am afraid of you Because you hear me when I'm lying And you see the things I do So the hands go round the clock As the light goes from the room And I can't help thinking to myself I'm going to find out much to soon Oh you've given me a plan That I don't understand 'Cos I've wandered over half the world But I've remained a ignorant man One thing that I know Is when the final bell tolls Human love won't be enough Good deeds can't save my soul I believe etc. etc...... |

You make it sound easy
You say just hold your hand out don't you You just hold your hand out don't you That hope never leaves you 'Cos a light shines on that helps you to steer Makes everything clear (Well it might) Well it might in your world (but it doesn't) But it doesn't in mine (I've been stumbling) I've been stumbling in the dark for years And the light just made me blind You say it lights every pathway Shows me how to live life For the rest of my days For the rest of my days (But I can't) But I can't put my faith in (Your words) Your words and demands (I believe) I believe in God alright It's folk like you I just can't stand You don't have to try and scare me To reinforce my faith sir 'Cos I know that one day I'll stand before my maker (And it I'm found) And if I'm found wanting (When my case) When my case is heard (It'll be) It'll be by the author Not some interpreter of his words You make it sound easy You say just hold your hand out don't you You just hold your hand out don't you That hope never leaves you 'Cos a light shines on that helps you to steer Makes everything clear (Well it might) Well it might in your world (but it doesn't) But it doesn't in mine (I've been stumbling) I've been stumbling in the dark for years And the light just made me blind Yeah the light just made me blind |

I'm not going to talk about doubts and confusion
On a night when I can see with my eyes shut I'd never been to Ayrshire I hitched down one saturday Sixty miles to Kilmarnock To see Hibernian play The day was bright and sunny But the game I won't relay And there was no Kilmarnock Bunnet To make me want to stay But I'm not going to talk about it On a night when I can see with my eyes shut When I started walking at Wishaw My eyes obscured my vision After five miles on my way I began to learn to listen I walked through the country I walked through the town I held my head up And I didn't look down The question doesn't matter The answer's always "aye" The best view of all Is where the land meets the sky. ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By REID, CHARLES STOBO / REID, CRAIG MORRIS Lyrics © Warner/Chappell Music, Inc. |

Since I started being impressed
By the things that move me All the treasures that I missed Came back to stand around me And as I curse the wasted time I lift my head to say Thank you god you gave the strength That helped me walk away All the fear and anger Still stays within my heart And I can't recall the last time I imagined they'd depart But this is what I'm going to do When they force me to doubt I'll ask for what I know remains To help me sing them out As rays of sun shine through the clouds To heat the soaking ground So when we come to sing the shouts We'll burn the theaters down Let every disbelieving sneer That looked me in the back Turn, come towards us, And feel the first attack. ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By REID, CHARLES STOBO / REID, CRAIG MORRIS <i>Lyrics © Warner/Chappell Music, Inc.</i> |

It could be tomorrow, or it could be today
When the sky takes the soul The earth takes the clay I sometimes wonder why I pray When my spirit drives away With a faith and a bit of luck And a half-tonne bomb in the back of a truck It could be tomorrow... Feel the towel it's wet with sorrow From the tears we'll shed tomorrow Don't bring flowers, take a chance On some graves you should dance It could be tomorrow... It it¡s tomorrow, or if it¡s today I don't say it will be, I just say it may When I'm on my knees To the gates I'll stumble And plead my case In a style thats humble. It could be tomorrow... |

This is the story of our first teacher
Shetland made her jumpers And the devil made her features Threw up her bands when my mum said our names Embroidered all her stories with slanderous claims It's over and done with This is the story of losing my virginity I held my breath and the bed held a trinity People I'm making no claims to a mystery But sometimes it seems like My sex life's all history I'm not saying these events didn't Touch our lives in any way But, ah, they didn't make the impression That some people say This is the story of watching a man dying The subjects unpopular But I don't feel like lying When I think of it now I acted like a sinner I just washed my bands Then I went for my dinner. |

You're a modern individual
With a mind that's strong and free And it got you what you wanted From the day you came to be But when you got what you wanted It could never quench your thirst So you blamed the ones around you For not warning you first But now the ones around you Are going and of no use 'Cuz as the last one vanishes She takes the last excuse There's no one left to blame You're the cause of your pain Love made you forget it Love of every hue A mother's love, a father's love A lover's love, a child's love But it came back again And you felt like you'd lived through An almighty deception Designed just for you But the almighty deception Gives while you just take It's living all around you While you're holdin' its wake There's no one left to blame You're the cause of your pain You blamed it on the market For burdening you with wealth You blamed it on the whisky As if it poured itself Dive into the mystic So you don't have to think Find another suspect Find another shrink There's no one left to blame You're the cause of your pain There's no one left to blame There's no mystery Not even the one that you see There's no mystery Not even the one that you see There's no mystery Not even the one that you see |

Evidence of a new religion
I'll spare you the details Effluent from a bloated business With replica shirt sales Two for the kids, one for the wife Indicating a stunted life Didn't know gullibility was so rife? Well you do know now? Evidence of a new rligion Some hippy with a gripe Strikes a blow with his census form By summoning Star Wars tripe Here's a thing I'd love to say Lynndie England walks free today If she'll only agree to play With every Jedi Knight An Lo! My faith it was honed We can't be alone Don't say we're alone Give me ancestry that's inbred Give me wit that's completely dead Give me a zip for the back of my head I want to join in too Evidence of a new religion Meeting a human need fertiliser for the brain Feeding the weakest seeds |

When the inspiration
Is above my station Thoughts are iqeienchoiy And I let them pass I tend to view this nation Through the condensation On a dirty glass When the singer solemn Was a honnie laddie When she brushed his hair With a watered comb Then he could have wandered And he could have shown ye Seven hit is like home If misty eyes can witness Love and affection Why does the heart still resist What the hell is wrong with you? I've got eyes of misty blue All the things I want to do Are all I ever wanted to As the ladik grew And he looked around him At the thugs and rapists In their stolen suits Louder beat the rhythm Of his bloody heart Telling him to shoot Thoughtless competition Like a home-made prison Made him fix his vision On a certain fate What's the use in winning All the worlds creation If you won't create. |

When I was a younger man
When I was a silly boy I didn't need a thing I was strong as anything I viewed solitude as a joy But since I met you I'm distraught You wandered in and now I'm caught I never thought I would see Someone so truly good Someone who's so everything I'm not I want to spend my life with you Don't want to live all alone I can't conceive of the years left to me Without you in our home But what if what if what if what If it's not perfect then it's not But every care I take Nothing I won't forsake To dwell beside what you've got Every time I think about you I think I can't live without you I tell you something I am nothing without you I want to spend my life with you Don't want to live all alone I can't conceive of the years left to me Without you in our home I want to spend my life with you Don't want to live all alone I can't conceive of the years left to me Without you in our home Without you in our home |

When you go will you send back
A letter from America? Take a look up the railtrack From Miami to Canada Broke off from my work the other day I spent the evening thinking about All the blood that flowed away Across the ocean to the second chance I wonder how it got on when it reached the promised land? When you go will you send back A letter from America? Take a look up the railtrack From Miami to Canada I've looked at the ocean Tried hard to imagine The way you felt the day you sailed From Wester Ross to Nova Scotia We should have held you We should have told you But you know our sense of timing We always wait too long When you go will you send back A letter from America? Take a look up the railtrack From Miami to Canada Lochaber no more Sutherland no more Lewis no more Skye no more (3x) I wonder my blood Will you ever return To help us kick the life back To a dying mutual friend Do we not love her? I think we all claim we love her Do we have to roam the world To prove how much it hurts? When you go will you send back A letter from America? Take a look up the railtrack From Miami to Canada Bathgate no more Linwood no more Methil no more Irvine no more. (3x) Bathgate no more Linwood no more Methil no more Lochaber no more. |

When you go will you send back
A letter from America? Take a look up the railtrack From Miami to Canada Broke off from my work the other day I spent the evening thinking about All the blood that flowed away Across the ocean to the second chance I wonder how it got on when it reached the promised land? When you go will you send back A letter from America? Take a look up the railtrack From Miami to Canada I've looked at the ocean Tried hard to imagine The way you felt the day you sailed From Wester Ross to Nova Scotia We should have held you We should have told you But you know our sense of timing We always wait too long When you go will you send back A letter from America? Take a look up the railtrack From Miami to Canada Lochaber no more Sutherland no more Lewis no more Skye no more (3x) I wonder my blood Will you ever return To help us kick the life back To a dying mutual friend Do we not love her? I think we all claim we love her Do we have to roam the world To prove how much it hurts? When you go will you send back A letter from America? Take a look up the railtrack From Miami to Canada Bathgate no more Linwood no more Methil no more Irvine no more. (3x) Bathgate no more Linwood no more Methil no more Lochaber no more. |

We've been, going together
Too long to be vague When there's something to say If it's not now, then it's never So I'll say it straight out 'Cos I have no doubt, no doubt Let's get married I love you and I want to stay with you Let's get married Have kids and grow old and grey with you Let's get married Hold hands, walk in the park You can get a cat as long as it barks We know, other people Who drifted apart Who broke each others hearts But we ain't other people So we'll do things our way We're gonna be O.K. We're gonna be more than O.K. Let's get married We're ready for tying the knot Let's get married Set the seal on the feelings we've got Let's get married We can make each other happy or we can make each other blue Yeah, it's just a piece of paper but it says "I Love You" For the good times For the days when we can do no wrong For the moments when we think we can't go on For the family For the lives of the children that we've planned Let's get married C'mon darlin', please take my hand And I'll be the one Who's by your side I'll be the one Still taking pride When we're old if they ask me "How do you define succes?" I'll say, You meet a woman You fall in love You ask her and She says "Yes" Let's get married I love and I want to stay with you Let's get married Have kids and grow old and grey with you Let's get married Hold hands when we walk in the park All right you can get a cat just as lang as it barks For the good times For the days when we can do no wrong For the bad times For the moments when we think we can't go on For the family For the lives of the children that we've planned Let's get married C'mon darlin', please take my hand |

Saw a man who was fifty-one
He had married daughters and a single son And he's lost his job as this years begun And it broke my heart Saw his wife who was fifty-two She said she was sure they could make it through That her single wage would just have to do And it broke my heart Talked about it with the family now What began in sadness ended up a row All the guys with the clever mouths They were saying we should move south Saw the son who's been gone two weeks And he's down already with a job to seek And he's in Kings Cross and theres no-one speaking And it broke my heart. |

In Recognition of your 100 million album sales
In Recognition of your popularity You take your gaudy prize from people you said you despised You wear your self-respect upon your bended knees. In spite of all your claims It looks like you're just the same As every other clown, who likes put the crown Before or after their name. In Recognition of your service to the working class In Recognition of your party loyalty You get an ermine robe and you declare when you are probed You only took it so the missus would be pleased In spite of all your claims It looks like you're just the same As every other clown, who likes put the crown Before or after their names. Ohhhhhh Vanity It gets them one by one Patronage and Monarchy And all they entail, rarely fail In Recognition of your bravery up on the stage In Recognition of your bank ability You get to wait in lines with soldiers crippled by land mines And you think it's the yanks that don't get irony In spite of all your claims It looks like you're just the same As every other clown, who likes put the crown Before or after their names. In spite of all your claims It looks like you're just the same As every other clown, who likes put the crown Before or after their names. Their name Their name Their name |

If there's a God
Where does He go to When disease and hunger Knock on the door? And if there's a God How does He decide That she'll be born rich But he'll be born poor? I don't know Can you tell me? Oh Can you tell me? Oh If there's a God Why does He let People die slowly Racked by pain? And if there's a God Who blesses with children Why does He steal Some back again? I don't know Can you tell me? Oh Can you tell me? Oh If there's a God Why is He letting Violence and murder Be done in His name? But if there's no God Why am I lying Here in the dark Saying his name? I don't know Can you tell me? Oh Can you tell me? Oh I don't know Can you tell me? Oh Can you tell me? Oh |

from Shrek (슈렉) [ost] (2001)
I'm on my way from misery to happiness today
I'm on my way from misery to happiness today I'm on my way to what I want from this world And years from now you'll make it to the next world And everything that you receive up yonder Is what you gave to me the day I wandered I took a right, I took a right turning yesterday I took a right, I took a right turning yesterday I took the road that brought me to your home town I took the bus to streets that I could walk down I walked the streets to find the one I'd looked for I climbed the stair that led me to your front door [Chorus] And now that I don't want for anything I'd have Al Jolson sing "I"m sitting on top of the world." I'll do my best, I'll do my best to do the best I can I'll do my best, I'll do my best to do the best I can To keep my heart from jumping through my mouth dear To keep the past, the past and not the present To try and learn when you teach me a lesson [Chorus] |
