Back up boy forty five feet
Always looking for a freebie Why don't you let up sometime Hawks out here with his axe and me with this lead sheet on Trying to scuffle up those two's and fews For uncle so I can bail out my full orchestration Looks like he got me but this cat wouldn't feed Grass to a horse in a concrete pasture He's so tight he wouldn't buy a pair of shorts for a flea Just look at him n' dig that vine All off tome his strollers look like he's ready to jump He's playing ketchup n' I got to tighten his wig Hold it down n' I'll come up with line two like I said Ain't nothin' to it, just here Ain't nothin' to it, just here Ain't nothin', ain't nothin' to it just here I saw that dinner up the street guzzlin' foam in The drink den and the sharks are droppin' the shucks Like the yellow kid trying to tighten her and Weaving the four f's all around her I nixed her out long ago, man, she's too some-timey She will and she won't She do and she don't always on the fence and Sleeps with her glasses on Man Man Ain't nothin', ain't nothin' to it just here She's faust to me, so skip it and forget it She's faust to me, so skip it and forget it Ain't nothin' to it [Repeat until fade] |

How many times have you woken up and prayed for the rain?
How many times have you seen the papers apportion the blame? Who gets to say, who gets the work and gets to play? I was always told at school, everybody should get the same How many times have you been told, if you don't ask you don't get? How many liars have taken your money, your mother said you shouldn't bet? Who has the fun, is it always the man with the gun? Someone must have told him, if you work too hard you can sweat There's always the sun There's always the sun Always, always, always the sun How many times have the weathermen told you stories that made you laugh? Y'know it's not unlike the politician and the leaders when they do things by half Who gets the job, of pushing the knob That sort of responsibility you draw straws for, if you're mad enough There's always the sun There's always the sun Always, always, always the sun |

See a picturesque decay there
Something for all time to tell See the woman of your dreams there In a baroque bordello Swing doors and a blind venetian Keep her in a walnut shell Has to rub your eyes to bathe you In a baroque bordello All the words are written for you Finds your heaven, finds your hell Finds your love but keeps it hidden In a baroque bordello Seven days and seven nights spent Sleeping in her wishing well Climb her rope and find her trailer In a baroque bordello In a baroque bordello In a baroque bordello Baroque bordello Baroque bordello Baroque bordello Baroque bordello Baroque bordello |

The River Thames is cold It keeps on flowing on But it left Dave alone It just kept flowing on There's city sickness here But now he's dead Late night a street in the west of the city There was a place there where he lost himself Strange feelings did he feel there Strange people did he meet there Angry sounds did he hear there Like the howling of bulls I'm not going to cry I bet he hit that water high |

Down in the sewer
Picking up quite a lot of empty coca cola cans and there sure are a lot of them around here How did I get down here ? Well it's a long story. I should have stayed down home out on the farm and kept my tootsies warm instead of freezing them off down here There's lots of rats down here You can see the whites of their eyes They got sharp teeth Deep breath And lots of diseases People say you shouldn't stay down here too long Lose your sense of light and dark Lose your sense of smell I tell you what I'm gonna do Gonna make love to a water rat or two and breed a family they'll be called the survivors You know why ? No They're gonna survive I'll see you in the sewer darling And don't be late I'll see you in the sewer I'll see you in the sewer, the sewer, the sewer I'll see you in the sewer I'll see you in the sewer I'll see you in the sewer I'll see you in the sewer I'll see you in the sewer I'll see you in the sewer ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By HUGH CORNWELL, DAVID GREENFIELD, BRIAN DUFFY, JEAN JACQUES BURNEL <i>Lyrics © Universal Music Publishing Group</i> |

They crucify you when you get it wrong
When things are fine they put you ahead They laugh at you with your trousers down They pick the stones and aim them at your head When you're alive they won't care what you said What you deserve and all the blood you bled It doesn't matter what you try to hide The sun comes out and then the truth is read Your fans will love you when you're alive But the wreaths are laid by the rest instead When you're alive they won't care what you said What you deserve and all the blood you bled 'Cause everybody loves you when you're dead Kneel and pray by the side of your bed And everybody loves you when you're dead Kneel and pray just like your momma said When you're alive they won't care what you said What you deserve and all the blood you bled You'll turn in your grave at what's gonna be said You'll finally be appreciated 'Cause everybody loves you when you're dead 'Cause everybody loves you when you're dead |

I need a dream where I can live what I said I need a place where I can put my bed I need a hole where I'll find darkness now And if you hassle me mister I might just lose my head 5 minutes and you're almost there 5 minutes and you're almost dead 5 minutes and you're almost there 5 minutes and you're almost dead They came on a Saturday night They killed his cat and the raped his wife And in their eyes there was fear and hate And when they spoke they spoke with knives 5 minutes and you're almost there 5 minutes and you're almost dead 5 minutes and you're almost there 5 minutes and you're almost dead Some say that I should hate them all But I say that wouldn't help at all I just wanna find those guys that's all I just wanna find those guys that's all that's all that's all 5 minutes and you're almost there 5 minutes and you're almost dead 5 minutes and you're almost there 5 minutes and you're almost dead The night time comes and the streets they ring With the fears of a thousand things And if you worry 'bout your ports of call You'll never get nothing done at all 5 minutes and you're almost there 5 minutes and you're almost dead 5 minutes and you're almost there 5 minutes and you're almost dead Some say that I should hate them all But I say that wouldn't help at all I just wanna find those guys that's all I just wanna find those guys that's all I just wanna find those guys that's all that's all |

Fools rush out
Angels got the better of them Fools rush out Hope there's a place in heaven for them One of them wants a home One of them wants to be left alone Fools rush out Fools rush out They called the wolf out too many times One of them wants things to stick on the wall One can't be bothered at all Fools rush out Fools rush out They want to be left alone One of them wants security One of them can't tell the wood from the trees Fools rush out Fools rush out They want to be left alone |

One reported long ago
No one heard and laughed as though It twas some product of mad man's minds Not clear enough to cure the blind And in all the corners of the globe They'll shield their eyes from shining robes Defying science all the laws The like of them not seen before Their gifts much worse than the three kings Rewriting future, changing thoughts And all the battles that we fought Are these the devil, are they four |

This is the story
Of a poor man's son He pulled himself up Turned his face to the sun He burned up the world with a heart on fire And tempted the stars when they hid their light Now everyone wants to touch the golden boy Now everyone wants to touch the golden boy They made melody To support his word He's the new high priest Of the scene and herd They sanctified Sid Till he puked up his life A prick for an idol What a very strange sight Now children are weeping In a hundred towns The spitfire word Shot the pilot down They shoved a rag Down the golden throat And put up a column Where the poor dog choked |

He said it solved his worries and his cares The one day I heard him say Something I hear everywhere Once I knew a man in love with power He bought a uniform and he kept it clean Then one day I heard him say There's something he's never seen Tell him how to find true love and happiness In the present day Tell him how to find true love and happiness In the present day Then I know a girl in love with living Didn't like to stay in one place long Then one day I heard her say She'd discovered something's wrong Tell her how to find true love and happiness In the present day Tell her how to find true love and happiness In the present day Repeat Tell him how to find true love and happiness In the present day (X 3) |
