And if I could hold you
Where would you belong
And if I could listen
To half the words you say
Would your pathway glisten
And help you on your way

Oh you?ve got it bad
But you never should expect cover
Oh you?ve got it so bad
Worse than any other

If I was in your shoes
Would it be the same
Would you sit in silence
While I dish out the blame

And if the world was laughing
Would you close your ears
There is no creed of chanting
To make the world more clear

If I brought you flowers
Would you watch them grow
Springtime is for certain
To follow on the snow

Oh you?ve got it bad
But you never should expect cover
Oh you?ve got it so bad
Worse than any other

Oh you?ve got it bad
But you never should expect cover
Oh you?ve got it so so bad
Worse than any other

And if I could hold you
Where would you belong
And if I could listen
To half the words you say
Would your pathway glisten
And help you on your way

Oh you?ve got it bad
But you never should expect cover
Oh you?ve got it so bad
Worse than any other

If I was in your shoes
Would it be the same
Would you sit in silence
While I dish out the blame

And if the world was laughing
Would you close your ears
There is no creed of chanting
To make the world more clear

If I brought you flowers
Would you watch them grow
Springtime is for certain
To follow on the snow

Oh you?ve got it bad
But you never should expect cover
Oh you?ve got it so bad
Worse than any other

Oh you?ve got it bad
But you never should expect cover
Oh you?ve got it so so bad
Worse than any other

That's the train on which I'll ride
I will look for a different sky
And you'll never find me down so low again
That's the plane on which I'll fly
I will wake in a different time
And you'll never find me down so low again

I'm looking for someone to lift me up
I'm looking for someone to fill my cup
And you'll never find me down so low again

If I try I might see
All the things that I can be
And you'll never find me down so low again
For all the angels for all the world
This is my truth so you've been told
And you'll never find me down so low again

I'm looking for someone to lift me up
I'm looking for someone to fill my cup
So you'll never find me down so low again
I'm looking for someone to lift me up
I'm looking for someone to fill my cup
So you'll never find me down so low again
And you'll never, never, never, never, never
never, never, never
And you'll never find me down so low again

You are amazing
It's the truth
And it's often fading
Without you

I don't feel the wind blow
I don't feel the hard rock
I don't feel it when it breaks your heart
I don't feel it all get
To far from the start

You are a lady
It's the truth
And it's often shady
Behind you

I don't feel the hollow
I don't feel it all broke
I don't need it when you make your mark
I don't live in malice
I need a morning heart

Standing here and hollow
It's the only thing broke
And it shakes you and it makes you start
Like a singing widow
Which won't mend your heart

You are amazing
It's the truth

I'm feeling something
Could be nothing
There's something new
And I feel excited
Close to frightened
There's something new

And I just can't face the change
There's something new
When today ain't yesterday what can I do?

I feel emotion
Endless commotion
And set in sail
I feel excited
Close to frightened
That it might fail

What can I do?

It’s too bad if you hear the word
And decide that it’s all too absurd
Punch the air and believe it
When the crowd cries out its agreement

And if I get to heaven tomorrow
I will that it’s time I just borrowed
Then look the guard in the face
As he locks the keys away

Please please please
Just before you go
Your glass is only half empty
But you’re full on so where is the show
But you’re full on so where is the show

And I counted all of the jars
And the labels told their names
And I counted all of the cars
Down the avenues and the lanes

And a light will shine on you
And deliver me the day
And I’ll dance between your feet
Down the avenues and the trees

Please please please
Just before you go
Your glass is only half empty
But you’re full on so where is the show
But you’re full on so where is the show

I count hours: they’re only waiting
But in between you find something so real
You’re elated

Please please please
Just before you go
Your glass is only half empty
But you’re full on so where is the show
But you’re full on so where is the show

By the way you went
You take it all
And make another sender

By the way it often takes you by surprise
You know the mender
And oh you play it strange

And anyway
We all got a little bit of something
We all got more than we bargained for
Got a need for something
But you and I we made it more

Ain't gonna make another play today
I know, I'm waiting on a sender
Ain't gonna take my weight until you wait
I know, I need another mender
But it's to you I'm making a surrender

And you make another
Tell you wanna weigh another breakdown
Kicking up and had enough
That all it just seems so relentless
And oh you play it strange

Repeat pre-Chorus

Take that face right off yours
It’s not yours love It’s not yours love
You keep yours in a secret cup
It’s flowing over It’s flowing over
And I gave all that I gave you
I gave all that I dared
And I took it that I’d claim you
And I took it that you’d care
But you love you more than I do
And I’d love you to be right
And the wave may crash around you
And Shipwreck you at night

I’m waving not drowning there’s no one looking on
I’m waving not drowning on the horizon

Raise an arm we won the race
I’m in your slipstream call it survival
You wrote the words for me on every wall
I thank the world for you we’re alive-o
We made it running empty and we drove away our fears
And we drank the life glass empty but nothing dissapears
And we swam a changing ocean
Our friends upon the shore
And we threw so many over
And watched some others fall

I’m waving not drowning there’s no one looking on
I’m waving not drowning on the horizon

Wah Wah, you’ve given me a wah wah
And I’m thinking of you
And all the things that we used to do
Wah Wah
Wah Wah

Wah Wah, you made me such a big star
Being there at the right time
Cheaper than a dime
Wah Wah, you’ve given me your wah wah
Wah Wah

Oh you don’t only see me crying
Baby baby
You don’t only hear me sighing Oh no

Wah Wah, I don’t need another wah wah
And I know how sweet life can be
If I keep myself free
Wah Wah, I don’t need no wah wah

Village life, everybody knows the wife
Knows how many pints you like
And where you park your bike at night

That’s ok I wouldn’t want it any other way
Rue St Denis or St Tropez
Over the hill or far away

On the green I saw you with sweet sixteen
You didn’t see me you were quite obscene
Now the neighbours know where you’ve been

In the town mother’s friends all pull the shutters down
Father no more buys a round
Because you were the village clown

This England made me
Between a war and a rocket span
You've found a crib it saves me
And teach me wrong and right
And the world was talking
Never got it's chance to say
When there's too much talking
Nobody hears a word you say
You won't see
And baby now I won't hear
It's blind communications
Only lasts throughout the year
And half of what we're saying
Is half way to the truth
It's blind communications
For a million hearts and fools

I am a witness
To a land of a million fools
All placing bets on life
They hate the ones who lose
And all the lonely
Never get the chance to say
That the one and only
Will be the chance to even play
You won't see
And baby now I won't hear
It's blind communications
Only lasts throughout the year
And half of what we're saying
Is half way to the truth
And blind communications
For a million hearts and fools

Hello Monday
The weekend's just a blur
I've been burning bridges
And now I'm begging at your door
So keep on working
Cos it's a chance for me to play
But too much talking
When you believe the words I say
You won't see
And baby now I won't hear
It's blind communications
Only lasts throughout the year
And half of what we're saying
Is half way to the truth
And blind communications
For a million hearts and fools

Like a good boy when I got home from school
I did my work for you
Just a boy with my head in the clouds
And I make it all come true
And I got two lovers
Jumping in and out of my bed
One hates the other
And the other wished the other was dead
Like a good boy I served my soul
And I kept my peace with the world
I got the sense when the time was sent
Then I got my turn
Two la la lovers
Two la la la lovers
I'm coming home
When I was a boy at school
I did my work when I got home
Took the chance when I saw you
Now I'm like a Rolling Stone
Two la la lovers
Two la la la lovers

Travellers Tune
Where do you go buttoned in your favourite coat
Stepping out to a different world
And you might be home late
And where are you now
Staring at your favourite box
The one with the traveller's cross
On the road past the gate

*But if you find yourself standing on the corner
While you're thinking of a different world
Then you might see me waiting on the corner
Staring through you in your different world

And if I could swim
Then I'd get out and find my boat
Sail away to my favourite coast
And let you all in
And if I could do all the things you're asking for
Then maybe I'd find your door
And bring it home to you

*Repeat

So where do we go
Like two Christophers in the snow
Yeah we're blind but we want to know
Just to say I love you
And all of our lives
We'll sail through the suns and moons
To sing our Travellers Tune
Just to say I love you

*Repeat

For all of her diction; her self medication
She fell down and dented her nose
And laughed at the coroners
Desperately warning her
Watch now the way that it goes
And she knows...

She's living at the top of the world

In need of salvation she spoke to her mother
Who died in the service of king
What is the meaning of wallflowers receiving a glance
It would mean everything
And she thinks...

She's living at the top of the world

Three minutes later she looked in the mirror
And cracked half a smile at her toes
And she knows, she knows...

She's living at the top of the world

For all of her diction; her self medication
She fell down and dented her nose
And laughed at the coroners
Desperately warning her
Watch now the way that it goes
And she knows...

She's living at the top of the world

In need of salvation she spoke to her mother
Who died in the service of king
What is the meaning of wallflowers receiving a glance
It would mean everything
And she thinks...

She's living at the top of the world

Three minutes later she looked in the mirror
And cracked half a smile at her toes
And she knows, she knows...

She's living at the top of the world

Oh in my heart, It always begins
Just keep on trying to make this situation win
Sometimes you should hold it back
And keep on the rails of the straight and narrow track

And I know I’ve been wrong before
But I really believe this day should last forever

These times we’re travelling in
Can tie you to trying to do your worst to keep on in
And how can you say that there’s nothing left
I come around every time you try to hate yourself

And I know I’ve been wrong before
But I really believe this day should last forever

I’m leaving today
I’m finding it hard to hear a single word I say
And all of the time wasted with you
It makes it hard to know what exactly to do

And I know I’ve been wrong before
But I really believe this day should last forever

I never give out
I had no my doubts and now I know they were you
Just like before I got myself clean
And now it’s amazing how this situation seems

And I know I’ve been wrong before
But I really believe this day should last forever

Third shade of blue
The sky and you
Like the rain over the sea
Third shade of red
The lover's bed
Crimson blood and rose


Third shade of green is all that you feel
Just like my love but half as unreal


Just like my love


Just like my love

These days I find I'm picking up all of it
These days I'm tired and low
And you don't care what you find
You're messing up all of it
These days you're tired

Then you forget the time to be
Free you walk in the line
Then you forget the time to be
Free you walk in the light's on

These days you find you're picking up all of it
These days you're tired and low
And you don't care what you find
You're losing all touch of it
These days you're tired

Then you forget the time to be
Free you walk in the line
Then you forget the time to be
Free you walk in the light's on

You are the one you makes a difference
But I am the one who makes the waves
All down the line this makes us different
So all our dreams may stay awake

You know sometimes things get so strange
And all we do may go astray
Wrapped in your youth these things won't harm you
And they don't hit you like a train

Say... won't you see her
I heard she's waiting at your door
Oh I hope you won't keep near her
I know she's bound to want it all

She's uncommon, she has one face
And her heart beats to your tune
When she speaks, she speaks of only your name
Then she repeats it like a fool

Hey... you can't say you don't want her
You know you let her through your wall
Oh I hope you don't keep near her
I know she's bound to want it all

Repeat 1st verse

I see double up ahead
Where the riverboat swayed beneath the sun
Is where the river runs red
Like a King who stalks the wings and shoots a dove
And frees an eagle instead
It's more or less the same as the things that you said

I see trouble up the road
Like the things you found in love are by the way
And like to cheat on your soul
Like the best and worst of thoughts that lose control
Before you lie on your bed

It's more or less the same as the things that you said
Anyway for all the things you know tell me why does the river not flow
Anyway for all the things you said tell me why does the river run red
Anyway for all the things you've seen tell me when will the river run green
And anyway for all the things you know tell me why does the river not flow

It's more or less the things you fail to say in your way that's your trouble
Like a King who stalks the wings and shoots the moon and the stars
And his double
It's more or less the same as the things that you said
I see trouble up ahead
Where the river boat swayed beneath the sun
Is where the river runs red
I see double - that's my trouble

Lay down your head & look to your window
Where do you go when it’s not where you’re going
And how do you see when the light isn’t shining
Where you could be if you worked out the timing
And how does it feel when the world comes
on so real & true
And how do you do the things you do to you
If I were a king & you were a lady
What would I sing to say what I’m saying
And would you believe the verses left open
My heart on my sleeve the rhyming all broken
And how does it feel when the world
comes back so real & true
And how do you do the things you do to you
to moonn6pence from shootingstar
Sell me a river and I’ll skate away
to the downstream where I did play
So easy minded like a hill on the skyline
tripped up and blinded getting lost on the sidelines
And how does it feel
when each word comes back so real & true
And how do you do the things you do to you oh..
how do you do the things you do to you
The Downstream

I never saw it as the start its more a change of heart
Rapping on the windows, whistling down the chimney pot
blowing off the dust in the room where I forgot I laid my plans in solid rock

Stepping through the door like a troubadour whiling just an hour away,
looking at the trees on the roadside feeling its a holiday.
You and I should ride the coast and wind up in our favourite coats just miles away.

Roll a number write another song like Jimmy heard the day he caught the train.
He sipped another rum and coke and told a dirty joke
Walking like Groucho sucking on a number 10
Rolling on the floor with the cigarette burns walked in
I'll miss the crush and I'm home again.
Stepping through the door with the night in store whiling just an hour away,
step into the sky in the starbright feeling its a brighter day.

You and I should ride the tracks and find ourselves just wading through tomorrow
and you and I when we're coming down we're only getting back
and you know I feel no sorrow.
When you find that things are getting wild don't you need days like these

I never saw it as the start
It's more a change of heart
Rapping on the windows, whistling down the chimney pots
Blowing off the dust in the room where i forgot
Yeah i laid my plans in solid rock
Stepping through the door like a troubadour whiling just an hour away
Looking at the trees on the roadside feeling it's a brighter day

And wind up in our favourite coats just miles away

Walking like groucho sucking on a number 10
Rolling on the floor with the cigarette burns walked in

Stepping through the door with the night in store whiling just an hour away,
Looking at the trees and the star-bright feeling it's a brighter day

Repeat chorus

You and i should ride the tracks
And find ourselves just wading through tomorrow
But you and i when we're coming down
We're only getting back
You know i feel the sorrow

And the clock struck fifteen hours ago; it is shining
And the man who is wasting on the wall
Looks a lot like Jesus
And a little bit resembling
the man in the mirror in the hall

And I rose-trayed sailors
And you still shining
And I'm till waiting to got
And I lied for sailors
And I lied for certain
And I lied to everyone I know

Oh I'd believe in God and I'd believe in loving
but I don't speak to anyone who knows
And I need four 50's and three yellow lemons
And someone to take me home

And I'd forgotten the one who was sailing
on the water down beside where you don't go
And it's strange to tell
that the one who is shining
is someone I forgot I used to know

And the clock struck fifteen hours ago

Saturday Afternoon
The sunshine pours like wine
Through your window

But I know golden June
Can turn an empty grey
Against your window

And I feel like I?m on the outside
Of a circle

If I walk by the trees
I?ll catch the falling leaves
If the wind blows

But I know all this means is
Whiling on the hours
Watching sideshows

And I feel like I?m on the outside
Of a circle

Will I turn my coat to the rain
I don?t know
But I?m going somewhere I can warm my bones

Fare you well I?ll carry me away
And sing to those I know
Upon their birthdays

And I won?t feel like I?m on the outside
Of a circle

Tele He's Not Talking
Tele he's the one he knows what to say
Knows how to find his own way
He knows the roads by night and by doorways
But watching the light in a hall
Won't change a thing or say at all
What it is that he says

Still he says that I don't know
Still he says that I don't know

*I don't why I think about so much
When I don't know what it is I can't say
And I wouldn't change a thing if I believe you all
And scream it in your face

Still I'd say hey I don't know
Still I'd say hey I don't know

Tele deals the cards and draws an ace
And finds himself miles away
Where skies ain't bruised by towers and fumes
Children ain't too young to play
Would I change a thing
I'd change it all
But we're born different days

Still I'd say hey I don't know
Still I'd say hey I don't know

*Repeat

Would I change a thing
I'd change it all when I'm miles away
Would I change a thing
I'd change it all but we were born on different days

I'd change a thing
I'd change it all when I'm miles away...

I want to know how it feels to be
Alone as it appears to me
As the start of the day is the end of the night
So the end of the night is the start of the day

I know that it’s true because everybody knew
Before me, so where can I go now?

If the start of the day is the end of the night
The end of the night is the start of the day
And once it has gone it can never come back again

Well we know where we are
And we know that we’ve come so far
And we’ll never come back again

Now I know that its true ‘cos everybody knew
Before me, so where do I go now?
You take me back to the start
Where I was falling apart
Now all the things you want to be
You never want to be with me

If the start of the day is the end of the night
The end of the night is the start of the day
And once it has gone it can never come back again

Well we know where we are
And we know that we’ve come so far
and we’ll never come back again

You said you knew everything
You said you knew everything
About love and peace and hate and lies
About love and peace and hate and lies

If the start of the day is the end of the night
The end of the night is the start of the day
And once it has gone it can never come back again

Well we know where we are
And we know that we’ve come so far
and we’ll never come back again

And once it has gone
It will never come back again
And once it has gone
It will never come back again

They wouldn't have if I'd only known where they'd been
And I want to make things a part of my life
And I want to see that things are going to be right
But if you can't even stand on your feet
And if you don't own the air that you breathe
Then it's not for me to say

But I wouldn't live that way
And I wouldn't stand apart
And I wouldn't find the real
and I wouldn't play a part
And I wouldn't find in love
So misguided by some fool
And just what I'm trying trying to say
Makes my head spin round the room

(Repeat from 3rd line onwards)

Spark and Cindy live by their own means
They wouldn't have if I'd only known where they'd been
And I want to make things a part of my life
And I want to see that things are going to be right
But if you can't even stand on your feet
And if you don't own the air that you breathe
Then it's not for me to say
But I wouldn't live that way
And I wouldn't stand apart
And I wouldn't find the real
and I wouldn't play a part
And I wouldn't find in love
So misguided by some fool
And just what I'm trying trying to say
Makes my head spin round the room ..

Straighten your collar and smile
'Cause you've never been lazy
'Cause you in a style
Call the shots every day

Soul Driver
Don't hurry
It's my timing
It's not your worry
And I'm taking my time
And laying my roots
Since I've been so far away

You're such a practical man
You work so hard for your living
You make me understand
That it's all in the giving

Chorus repeated over and over

There's wheat in the field
And water in the stream
And salt in the mine
And an aching in me

I can no longer stand and wonder
'Cos I'm driven by this hunger
So I'll jug some water
Bake some flour
Store some salt and wait the hour

While I'm thinking of love
Love is thinking for me
And the baker will come
And the baker I'll be

I am depending on my labour
The texture and the flavour

So sad, so sad
So sad, so sad
I didn't want to love you
And you do want nothing at all
So sad, so sad
So sad, so sad

There's a cold break in my dream
Keeps turning round everything you've said
It's so naked in my brain
Makes it hard to be by myself

So sad, so sad
So sad, so sad
I didn't want to love you
And you do want nothing at all
So sad, so sad
So sad, so sad

And I didn't want to love you
And I'm feeling the pain
Stop watching the best things we loved in our life
Was the wind and the sails
And I needed to try for you
That's lost on the night
And it's found in the beautiful storm in your eyes
And it's making you cry
So sad, it's so sad

So sad, so sad
So sad, so sad
I didn't want to love you
And you do nothing at all
It's so sad, so sad
So sad, so sad, so sad, so sad

if anyone rises at 6.31
and fakes all day that
they're having their fun
they never did get it right
since they got is so low

to anyone drinking the morning away
the afternoon will prove a mistake
they never will get it right
now they've got it so low

and we laugh and we drink
and we teach ourselves not to think
'and we find it hard not to think
we never did get it right
since we got it so low

to all of the faces that
freeze for you there
in your memory when you try not to care
they never disappear down the slow road

for all of those people
sho bleed by the side
and split fron their tongues
and sharpen their knives
they never will get a life now
they've got it so low

chorus

cornfields and pig-tails and
fish in the stream
the night that the boys stole
a billion dollar dream
fron the high jink school
for girls down the road

stories are smoke trails
and some may be true
you're listening to me
but I'm talking to you
I hope you never fall from grace
if you get it so low

double chorus
'last chorus only

Don’t you know about the bogey man
He will come and take you by the hand
Take you from this pleasant land and away
Don’t you know about the sandman
Comes at night and takes you by the hand
Takes you from your Bedford land and away
Sing Children Sing
Come into the light right now
And sing
Don’t you know about the child catcher
Throw you in a cage much faster
Than your slowly changing childhood days have gone away
Don’t you know about the ogre man
He will come and take you by the hand
He will eat you just where you stand
And you’re gone away
So sing children sing
Come into the light right now
And sing
Have you heard about Uncle Sam
He will always make a stand
Come and free you and take command
And then stay
Have you heard about his best friend
Winning smile and curly hair
And like a best friend he’s always there
And he will stay
So sing children sing
Come into the light right now
And sing

It’s a cold blue hello Monday morning
And your clock strikes a blow and a warning
‘Cos you’re only at the weekend living
And your wife and friends are unforgiving
There’s a cut in your face off your shaving
In the mirror in the sea a man is waving
He’s remarkably like you so he’s worth saving
And your wife and your friends do all the blaming
I don’t go for that
My name is Saturday
I’m the girl in the car/drunk afternoon
I’m the drink at the bar
I’m plenty
I don’t go for that
My name is Saturday
I am dressed for the night
I’m the radio on
I’m twenty
