Yesterday arrived too quickly
Caught me right off guard My defence moved in too slowly Missed it by a yard I'd just settled down With a bottle of gin So I moved on to whiskey And it hit me again Memories were raining punches Down on my head Knocked me into the past so quickly They almost raised the dead So I dranks some more booze And it helped me to sleep Where I dreamed of my youth And the secrets I keep Oh, history is a friend of mine She comes over to my place And we have a good time But the memories She sometimes brings with her Get out of line They're out of line *Show me things I don't want to see (Wanna see, wanna see, wanna see) Remind me of who I thought I was gonna be (Gonna be, gonna be, gonna be) Take me places I used to go (Used to go, used to go) A long, long, long time ago When I woke i remembered nothing Suppose that's just as well And although my head was aching I could hear a bell So I put on some clothes And I reached my front door When I pulled it white open She joined me once more Oh, history is a friend of mine She comes over to my place And we have a good time But the memories She sometimes brings with her Get out of line They're out of line *Repeat A long, long, long time ago |

You're a grown woman
Good at what you do I'm happy as hell When I'm alone whit you As you stroke my body And soothe my brow With everything That the law will allow I pray "Don't turn out like your mother" Im a grown man Over 21 I've got an ugly face But I have a lot of fun So if spill a glass Or break a dish I hear your voice And I make this wish Please "Don't turn out like your mother" Don't turn out Don't turn out Don't turn out like your mother I couldn't stand it And I'll be damned if I'm gonna live with another So many woman Give you so much Civilized ways And a gentle touch A different perspective That's as bright as a button But then you wake up one morning And it all counts for nothing Cos she's turned into her mother Don't turn out Don't turn out Don't turn out like your mother I couldn't stand it And I'll be damned if I'm gonna live with another It's not the way she looks It's not the food she cooks Her kind of indignation Don't cause me trepidation But to live with a woman like this Would take a masochist Or someone who could get and could stay permanently pissed You're a grown woman Good at what you do I'm happy as hell When I'm alone with you As you stroke my body And soothe my brow With everything That the law will allow Im a grown man Over 21 I've got an ugly face But I have a lot of fun So if spill a glass Or break a dish Don't get on to me Like some haranguing witch Don't turn out like your mother Don't turn out Don't turn out Don't turn out like your mother I couldn't stand it And I'll be damned if I'm gonna live with another It's not her looks Or the way she cooks That wakes me up in a cold sweat It's just the knowledge That if it happened I couldn't drink enough to forget Don't turn out (etc) Don't end up (etc) |

You need to harness pain
To raise yourself up again You need to harness pain And tell the truth about love You need to break your heart Before you can really start You need to break your heart And tell the truth about love Then you need to set a goal that you can't reach Then you have to attack defenses you can't breach Then you need to lose and lose and lose again If you want to hold the flame You harness pain You harness pain You need to take your doubts And spread them all about You need to face your doubts To tell the truth about love You know the cliche's wrong Hatred is just as strong You know it's just as strong Just as strong as love So you need to take your hate and doubt and fear Distill them through your word 'til they run clear 'Til they run right through your heart like Highland rain If you want to hold the flame You harness pain You harness pain Do you want to be the best or be well known? Do you want to repeat lines or write your own? Do you want to follow paths or blaze a trail? When you try to succeed, You mostly fail And you're gonna lose and lose and lose again If you want to hold the flame You harness pain You harness pain |

Here he comes again
on the radio, another misogynist calling her a bitch, calling her a whore and then he'll use a big word, use a big word some of the time just to make it rhyme just to make it rhyme. Here it comes again got to keep it real, another hymn to violence suffocating joy, draining all ideals another hymn to violence, give me silence some of the time just to make it rhyme just to make it rhyme. So words are thrown to waste, and women are debased for fun and as they start to sing I can't help wondering what we've become? Oh, here it comes again, on my new TV, another well-fed schoolboy saying he's a man, but what kind of man, puts down women, puts down women all the time just to make it rhyme, just to make it rhyme? Here it comes again, x4 on the radio, calling her a bitch, x2 calling her a whore. x3 Here it comes again, x4 on the radio, calling her a bitch, x2 calling her a whore. x3 Here it comes again. x10 radio/radios. x16 Here it comes again. x2 |

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] |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 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 |

Please don't go rushing by
Stay and make my heart fly Please don't go rushing by Stay and make my heart fly 'cause I never seem to notice time When you're with me You can tell it to the birds I'll tell the bees I can't do any more To got inside your door I can't do any more Please let me inside your door. |

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. |

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 |

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 |

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. |

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... |
