Dave Stewart [Spirogyra]

Though I may whisper words
You don't understand, understand
Though I'm in need of help
You can't lend a hand, lend a hand

To be at home in the world
To be at home in the world

Though I may come and go
It is not from you that I flow
Wild though the world may be
It's inside of me, inside of me

To be at home in the world
To be at home in the world

This is all that a man can need
Cannot you see
This is all that a man can need
Cannot you see

Though I may act unkind
I don't mean to be, honestly
It's just that it's hard to see
The reality, reality

To be at home in the world
To be at home in the world

This is all that a man can need
Cannot you see
This is all that a man can need
Cannot you see

Don't ask me to move away
I will never go
Don't ask me to hide away
I will never leave

Look at the ocean go rolling by slowly
We're on the waves and it's ever so lonely
How very strange that I think that there's something wrong

Captain's Log, the first of June
Have run into a bad monsoon
I'm 54, I've sailed before
This is not the sea, it's war

Grab the rigging, man the sail
Secure the hatches start to bail
I do not think we will survive
I do not think we will survive

Cloud in the distance appeared like a mushroom
Then came the heat and the rage of the ocean
We're going down and I don't think I'd rather stay

Captain's Log, the first of June
Have run into a bad monsoon
I'm 54, I've sailed before
This is not the sea, it's war

And to those who caused the pain
I only hope you will remain
I'm going down with what was good
I wouldn't stay if I could

Holy John
Give me food
Tonight I'm so hungry
Tonight my eyes are
searching for a way

Holy John
Give me shelter
Tonight I'm so weary
Tonight my eyes are open wide

Well the first man was a juggler
And his skill was very great
But he said that he was leaving
He said he couldn't wait

And the second came with jewels
That flickered on his hand
And he spoke about tomorrow
As if it were another land

But a lady caught between them
said she should be free
And they just looked bewildered
And said "Yes, so should we"

"How on Earth" yelled the author
"Does the tale make its sense"
"It's alive with the truth
But we must have the proof
How can we open the door"

Well the next man had religion
It made him very proud
He said he'd found his inner bliss
He said it very loud

But a group of men surpassed him
with science, skills, and speed
They hurled down his conceptions
And dug up all his weeds

The lady she was worried
She asked if this was wise
"Of course it is
It's logic, brains and enterprise"

"How on Earth" yelled the author
"Does the tale make its sense"
"It's alive with the truth
But we must have the proof
How can we open the door"

Well the last man had no number
And didn't say a word
He didn't even answer them
When they said he was absurd

They made him sign a treaty
to give up all he owned
And searched his pockets anxiously
to see if he had gold

The lady was enchanted
And said they ought to see
So they charged her with subversion
And made her watch T.V.

I'm a man with no future
With no past and no time
And I live for the while
Lord I live for the while
I won't be back no more

We are fighting a losing battle
No one is winning
No one's beginning

We are looking for something
that's missing
Dark all around us
Darkness surrounding

We are on the doorway of knowledge
Have we the wisdom
Have we the wisdom

I’m counting the number of cars
Rolling into my life
Broken by alibis
Running from all those lies
Watching a number of dreams
Flowing away from me
Bum lifts from heavy loads
Burn wheels on southern roads

Feel the distance that I put between
Me and my childhood
Hang on to what remains
Leave trails of broken chains
High tail for Spanish Mains

Feeling I’m lost in my way
Too proud to lift my eyes and say
Life’s not the same as I
Thought that it might have been

Heard a lot of places such as these
I remember stories, pirates, the seas, the breeze
Bum lifts from heavy loads
Burn wheels on southern roads

He's got a gun he really thinks he's something
He don't have to run he got a sub machine gun
He told his Mum he's gonna join the army
Look at your son he's gonna be a man Ma
He got a uniform
Over the seas he's gonna fight for freedom
Waving a flag he's gonna be a hero
Never afraid, he's gonna conquer evil
Do as he's told and make a perfect soldier
He got a uniform

Watch yourself soldier boy you missed the point son
Discipline soldier boy, you disappoint me
You just do not, you just do not see

You're needing a skirt to hide your lack of brain boy
Don't it just hurt to have to think yourself boy
A clear right and wrong, there'll be no complications
No need to think or write those disertations
He got a uniform

Watch yourself soldier boy you missed the point son
Discipline soldier boy, you disappoint me
You just do not, you just do not see

Caught in a crumbling castle, who are we
Torn by salvations dragon, hope lives on
And so down into a time
where Liberty and Freedom have no significance
in the current economic crisis

Just seen the soldiers on patrol in Derry
What they thinking?
Bet they wish they could stay at home
Go out drinking in the evening

Just seen the newsprint tonight
Violence increasing, an explosion
Suddenly a public house went off bang
Foul play suspected, someone's cheating

Surely you see at the top of the stairs
A young mother cries
Convinced that her husband lies bleeding, defying
While 13 more died
See how her eyes glow
She's going insane
And you tell me enquiries will show
Whose to blame
But next Sunday at 2, will happen again, again.

So you think you can get away
Go down to Brighton for a season
Discuss the issues from day to day
Looking for reasons on paper

Surely you see at the side of the road
What looks like a bomb
Shoppers with children lie bleeding and dying
But what have they done
See how our eyes glow
We're going insane
And you tell me enquiries will show
Whose to blame
But Maudling, you fool, it will happen again, again

The facts of life are very simple
A job some money, settle down
There's lots of things that may distract you
Ignore them, lest they do you harm

They say a dreamer always stumbles
They say a dreamer has to fall
Onto the rocks of what is solid
Into the arms of what is all

Don't let it get you

My eyes were cracked my body broken
My thoughts all bent my seam was torn
Stood lost in space with no direction
When suddenly I heard a call

Don't let it get you

What is this point of no returning
Where I am standing with my friends
There is no basis left for learning
There is no start or end

Don't let it get you

Stuck in an old
Home for lonely folks
Gazing from his window at the snow
Where did you go so wrong?
You struggled all your life
To keep your children warm and safe
Make the world a better
World a better place

Stuck in an old
Home for lonely folks
Gazing from his window at the snow

Through two long wars
And many years of strife
What is the value of a life?

Men well oiled and functioning
Is science in control?
You're better off now where you are
I hope you rest
I hope you rest in peace

If you're gonna be a mountain
Let me see you thrust your snows
In innocence through clouds of doubt
That try to keep your reason out
In these times of glaciated slaughter

If you're gonna be a legend
Let it be a tale whose telling
Is a state of mind that's dwelling
Far beyond the words dark capture
To fill the heart alone with rapture
In these days of circles

If your gonna be an island
I will be a sailing ship
Who like a speck at total distance
Looms beyond your headland breakers
Till the oceans mighty plunder
Bids me seek the gentler shelter
Of your inland waters

Have you never seen beyond the moon?
Don't you know that we will be there soon?
Have you no eyes to see
That you are only me and we are only
Travellers upon a sea of time
Trying very hard to make it rhyme

I tried so hard
To keep our love alive
To keep you by my side
But the winter and my pride
Dissolved into the Spring

Oh love is a very funny thing
I'm sure you know
And though you lose someone
you keep your soul

The fresh unfaded green
Makes my heart to dream
And the April rain
Washes me clean again
Of the sorrows that held me down

Oh love is a very funny thing
It lingers on
And a part of me is always she

love is a very funny thing
It lingers on
And a part of me is always she

Magical Mary
She looks like a fairy
And waves her wand around
Points at an earthman and says Hallelujah
Just look at what I've found
At what I've found

Magical Mary
She shivers her timbers
And lays you on the ground
Strikes up a rhythm in fifty two tempo
And says hey man your found
Hey man you're found

I gotta come with you
I gotta come with you
Got got to, got got to
I gotta come

Madrigal Mistress has seventy sisters
And every one's the same
They come with assistance
To break your resistance
And man your brained
You're like to wind up maimed

I gotta come with you
I gotta come with you
Got got to, got got to
I gotta come

Don't ask me no questions
Don't ask me no questions
I got to, got got to
I gotta come

Always the same, I don't know how you do it
Just a game, no matter how you view it
Always the same
You're gonna be alone, you're gonna need someone
You're gonna find it hard to get yourself a man
Whose gonna take your hand, or even understand
Just what you're into.

Mr Brown, he thought he'd found salvation
Using words to try to calm the nation
What a shame
He didn't have a notion how to use the lotion
Gotta spread it thin to give each one a portion
Gotta make it clear they're gonna get a portion
So's they're happy

Always the same, you never seem to falter
Make a slip, you'll have me at the altar
Never mind, it doesn't matter much
Because you've got the touch
You've really got it made
You're gonna make the grade
And you can try your hand
Another time around
That's if you want to

Don't be scared of shadows
Nasty man who lurk
Lots of rotten bullies
Pushing you around
They will never steal
What it means to feel
The wonders of being without

Where I stand it seems that existence
Is resistance to despair
Now I know my life's not been easy
But at least it has been there
Sometimes there'll be good times
Some folk can be kind
But the wind that blows inside us
Will be blind

For this time I have waited for ages
All my pages have been dry
I've been lost in the swirling of potions
All my motions have been high(?)
Over every molehill
Under every mile
For the essence of motion is devotion
To the wheel

So you see I'm not going to mind it
Or define it in degrees
Every inch of being is like old time
Is the right time to be free

The lights were high and burning
The room was filled up with men
Some playing cards for higher stakes
Some looking into telescopes pointed within them
Be with me, it's you and me
I feel you're on my side
Be my space, a trace of lace
A face that's near to mine

They're going back, they've had it
They're slipping up on their ends
These foolish men with eyes of ice
A culmination of things that were never inevitable

Be my wing, my everything
My platform to the sky
Be my gem, a star for them
Upon the other side

I'm caught on a cloud
Feeling mortified
I'm floating away
A stranger with no eyes
A loser with no ties
A laughter rings
With plenty to do
I never would complain
Feet losing the ground
I'm always out of time
I always miss the line
That doesn't count
But oh no, no, no no
Why must I always be far away,
Gone astray, caught like a bubble in the wind?

They took him away
They said that he was mad
He told them the truth
They said he had to pay
They said he couldn't stay
They always choose
But oh no, no, no no
Why must I always be far away,
Gone astray, acting like traitors trapped in time?

Run, run, run, runaway
Today's a holiday
Today we needn't worry
About the clothes we wear
No more ‘geog' on the old school bog
no cracks about our hair
Janitor Giles, you cannot see me
Janitor Giles, it's great to be free

Hide, hide, hide, hide away
Today it's truant we play
Dodgy school inspectors
Will not suspect we're here
No more French on the old school bench
No clouts behind our ears
Janitor Giles, you cannot see me
Janitor Giles, it's great to be free

But life is what you make it
And you missed school today
Good old Smithy and his pals
What keeps them away

We're going round
We dare not make a sound
To the house of my best friend
To a shed that he has found
And oh you'll have to gasp
As he takes out and shows to you the photograph
Takes out and shows to you the photograph

What the picture shows
Is awfully clear to me
My friends older than I
Fest their eyes so greedily
But I shall run away and go upstairs and play with my model railway

What goes on at night
When there is no-one else around
Is the strangest part of growing up that I've yet found
Though what the doe and rabbit did today at school was real
It failed to answer questions about the way I feel
Maybe I'm a queer?

It could be by tomorrow
The answers will be found
In these pages of a magazine
The Vicars left around
And late into the night
We will wonder if the dialog was right
We will wonder if the dialog was right

Wonder if my parents worry about this kind of thing
Or am I artificial, has my dad lost his sting?
A lovely girl lives up the road
She's much older than I
I'd really like to know her
Give the whole theory a try
To see if it is real
To see just how it feels

Hush now the boy is sleeping
And we don't want him to wake him until the morning
He's got a hard day to take
At the school that he hates
And so let's leave him dreaming
Until the morning sun shines through his window
Let's leave him dreaming
Until the morning
Let's leave him dreaming

Love's so easy, Love's so fine
Into our lives the time we always need it
No more to strange shadow
I feel us make it, Hope we make it over

The Duke of Beaufort
Is not at home today
He's very tired
He thought he'd go away
You wait for him,
Your eyes are on the door
You know no other way

The Duke of Beaufort
Is very kind to cats
Keeps them in his cellar
To help him catch his rats
He's very noble
And his lineage is pure
But you, you're a whore

The Duke of Splendour
Just wasn't much amused
And nor were you
You knew you'd been abused
If you'd had help
You might have buggered up his fuse
But alone, you're too confused

"He picked me up, I was on the street
He made it clear he would use me
My parents died, I was three years old
I had to make a living"
Close your eyes, close your eyes

"In a lot of ways, I'm close to him
Though he may seem to ignore it
I'm sure he cares,
At least, I think he does
It's just he's very busy"
Close your eyes, close your eyes
Here's today says the ‘Telegraph'
It's the world, it's the world!
Gone away on a phonograph
Riding high, riding high

There's a way says the Cenotaph
You will find, you will find
Gone in search of an Epitaph
Running wild, running wild

You saw them coming forward
Asking you to be kind
You couldn't face their council
They were men full of greed
In your position nothing's sacred
You have only the wine

You stand alone
But not alone in your loneliness
And yet there must be more
I can't believe that all has been in vain

And if there is it's
Be sure of friendship
As the hours grow long
Rest assured that this phase is passing
Give yourself a chance

If you don't like lying in the sun
you might as well not be here
What's the point of always working
Shut your eyes and let the colours come
And block out all the black and white
And dirty grey and damp and dust
And dry rot in the roof

On the beach we lit a fire
A Frenchman gave us wine and whiskey
Out to sea the British navy
Keeps an eye on foreign shipping
To keep us safe from war
The hope of which is all
That keeps our soldiers sleeping through the night

If you don't like lying in the sun
You might as well not be here
Let the sea come up and cover you
You will feel a new dimension
Like sleeping on a featherbed and dreaming of
a world in which you do not have to work

You suffer, you cry
You labour, you die
Things will change, Time Will Tell
Things will change, Time Will Tell

In the courtyard children play
In their lives, the sun is shining through
They'll all be socialists, atheists
They'll all be, scientists, humanists
Egalitarian, vegetarian, internationalists

They'll all be mystics, they'll all be gods
They'll all be famous, they'll all be sods
Things will change, Time Will Tell
Things will change, Time Will Tell
For what you want to be, you must try to be
You will all be free

Turn again Lane, go back you, know she l-l-loved you
Go back, that girl's in love with you
Turn again Lane, go back you, know that you're gonna need her
Go back go let her sun shine through
You know that girls in love with you
You know that girls in love with
girls in love with, girls in love with you

Turn again lane go back you, know that you're gonna need her
Go back go let her sun shine through
You know that girl's in love with you
You know that girls in love with
girls in love with, girls in love with you

Want you to say that you'll give her all your love
And so much more, and so much more
Love in a way that a young man only can
With so much more and so much more and so much more

Turn again lane you twit you, don't know what you missed you
Sure ought to get yourself a brain
Turn again lane, Turn again Lane, Turn Again lane

Knowing the way that she moves her sweater
Down in the deep sea south
She's the kind of girl that's got a lot to recommend her
She aint no common mouth

I want you to say that you'll give her all your love
And so much more and so much more
Love in a way that a young man only can
With so much more and so much more and so much more

Out here there's a lot that's unexplored
My advice to you is go back home

"And if you are new here I must ask you sir
Do you happen to carry a gun
I discovered when young to trust no-one
And to learn from mistakes I had made
These are days of deceit and suspicion sir
You must not take offence if I say
That you look like a queer or a harbourer
Of ladies of latter decay
This part of the world is a dark one son
We live by the laws we have made
Though it's true we may harm in mistake sometimes
We thank God for the lives we have saved
We thank God for the lives we have saved
So if you are new here I must ask you sir
Will you kindly go back where you came
I discovered when young to trust no-one
And to learn from mistakes I had made
And to learn from mistakes I had made"

Looking I opened wide
Daring my eyes to find
Standing on the edge can we go forward
Living in fear of it
And yet too near to return

Slipping, I fell inside
Crumbling walls collide
Breaking preconceived ideas like matchsticks
No rock to stand on it
No sure reality world

It's so wide
It's so wide
It's so wide

Come a little closer to me
If you think you dare
Nothing else can matter to me
All the rest is air

Magic has drawn me in
Giving my eyes to you
Herein lies a message
Keep it secret
I have no chains for you
There are no ties in the world

It's so wide
It's so wide
It's so wide

Here on our road are gathered we
To see our lives unfolding
Though others stay
We pass away
Just as the tide goes rolling

This is a time of change
A parting of the ways
Though others stay
We pass away
Just as the tide goes rolling

And I'll remember you
Beyond these hopes and these fears
That account for the years
Like the wind in the reeds I will miss you

And I will think of you
When the past comes along
To remind me what's gone
Like the wind in the reeds I will miss you

Can we go back and start again?
Can we go back and start again
Can we begin where we came in
Came in

Some travellers passed
as we stopped for a moment in peace
With blood on their fingers
They spoke of a cloud in the East

And we were a happy crew, me and you
We were a happy crew, me and you

Speaking with words
we were sure that the truth had been banned
We'd buried the martyrs
and walked off to work on the land

And we were a happy crew, me and you
We were a happy crew, you and me

Some riders appeared from the sun
As it fell with a blaze
They passed like the wind
And were lost in the dust to the East

And we were a happy crew, me and you
We were a happy crew, you and me

I'm 21, but gosh I do feel old!
Too much concerned
With things which shouldn't worry me
Or hurry me, or make me rush

I'm really flash, but gosh I do feel bad!
Completely smashed
Careering down life's avenues
I'm out of place and out of touch

Rolling over on Wings of Thunder
We're riding out to the Sun
Haring over on Wings Of Thunder
We're bound to make it the Sun, Sun, Sun, Sun
We're gonna make it the Sun

Now I'm in love, and she has got me hooked
But things are good
With poor old me delirious
She takes it all so serious

Rolling over on Wings of Thunder
We're riding out to the Sun
Haring over on Wings Of Thunder
We're bound to make it the Sun, Sun, Sun, Sun
We're gonna make it the Sun

My head has spread, it won't stay in one place
Confused and laced
I'm liking going haywire
And I find I have a taste for the pace

Rolling over on Wings of Thunder
We're riding out to the Sun
Haring over on Wings Of Thunder
We're bound to make it the Sun, Sun, Sun, Sun
We're gonna make it the Sun

World's Eyes ? see for miles
Light
We are gonna help you
We are gonna help you

Each man is human, we all need each other
And walls burn eyes

Light
We are gonna help you

I'm not a person, my cells are exploding
I'm you, yearn, insane?

Go from this room
Leave right away
There's nothing here
There's nothing here to make you stay

It's not so sad
You'll find another
You'll find someone who needs a home
That you can share
You're very young
There's time to put away your cares

But don't forget
We were together
And through forever
I will know that you were there
You need to laugh
So go to where the light is clear

As for understanding
If there's such a thing existing
There's a sparkle in your eyes
I find it hard to put in words
And you take me to the depth of sorrow
Pleading for no more tomorrow
Hanging on the edge of moments
I can't bear to end
I'd have loved you if you'd seen beyond the time

You gotta know we're waiting here
You gotta know we're waiting here
You gotta know

All things will flow
As sure as water
As sure as silence
I will meet you once again
Nothing will change
There are no changes
There's only pages
Where the book remains the same
Give fortune time
And we will meet between these lines

As for understanding
If there's such a thing existing
There's a sparkle in your eyes
I find it hard to put in words
And you take me to the depth of sorrow
Pleading for no more tomorrow
Hanging on the edge of moments
I can't bear to end
I'd have loved you if you'd been beyond the line

You gotta know we're waiting here
You gotta know we're waiting here
You gotta know, You gotta know
You gotta know

Let me take you traveling
Let me take you riding along
On a steam train, it’s none stop to Manchester
Mighty station Victoria
The grey stone is standing so tall
As the old men, the railway men, locked in the past
Did you see that caravan? she said as we picked up some speed
Do people live there, or is it left by from the war?
Yes I said softly, but the flowers are all gone
His son must have moved south
It seems that he is now long gone
Look at that mine, so empty so bare
I think it’s a closure, the new gas is cheaper by far
And what of the men now that their jobs are not there
I cannot say Jenny but their ghost is haunting the air

Jenny I do not feel happy at all
The heart is not here, something is gone
It seems as to be that the soul of the north
Is floating away in the air

On the canal did you see those factories there
They once made an Empire, but now people buy from elsewhere
And as for the grey stone, the dark stone, the black stone
Once it was strong, but now it rolls over and over

She rested her head on my shoulder and started to sleep
As I gazed from the window out into the day
Jenny I do not feel happy at all
The heart is not here, something is gone
It seems as to be that the soul of the north
Is floating away in the air

The day glow, comes in your room
Those who remain will never feel the same
These feelings, I have inside me
Try to deny me
I'm gonna wait on the years

Hearken to her song of life
Calling calling
Bring me back, I need you now
Help me, help me
Let me know I'm not alone
I love you

Tomorrow, who knows may find me?
Who knows the rolling wheel
The twist of fate on the line?

Hearken to her song of life
Calling, calling
Bring me back, I need you now
Help me, help me
Let me know I'm not alone
I love you

Do not look on back
For the things we lack
Searching for a future in old memories
Looking for our destiny in histories
Burn The Bridges
Burn The Bridges

Those who have control
Never where you are
There's such a lot of wisdom
That is stuck in books
But it's economist and physicists
Who cook the books
Burn the Bridges
Burn the Bridges

Trust in facts that stay
That can't be washed away
Like the light of day
Truth will always stay
Burn the Bridges
Burn the Bridges

Laughter is where you are
It is something that is more
Wisdom is where we'll go
It is something that is sure
There is nothing that is pure
Who am I?

And every recipe you'll ever see
Will say inside
A pinch of salt sir
I n this age of gross deception
Cynics rule
They're on the surface
Truth will conquer
Love will surely win.

I’m counting the number of cars
Rolling into my life
Broken by alibis
Running from all those lies
Watching a number of dreams
Flowing away from me
Bum lifts from heavy loads
Burn wheels on southern roads

Feel the distance that I put between
Me and my childhood
Hang on to what remains
Leave trails of broken chains
High tail for Spanish Mains

Feeling I’m lost in my way
Too proud to lift my eyes and say
Life’s not the same as I
Thought that it might have been

Heard a lot of places such as these
I remember stories, pirates, the seas, the breeze
Bum lifts from heavy loads
Burn wheels on southern roads

Bonnie Prince Charlie, our liege
We owe allegiance
Defender of the Faith
Pipers are calling
Onto the field of battle
Meet the redcoat foe

Our cause is just
To seek the crown
Who'll stand between our rightful heir
By the grace of God
We stand or fall
Across the land we'll meet the call

I'm a man with no future
With no past and no time
And I live for the war,
Lord I live for the war
I won't be back no more

Bonnie Prince Charlie
Our liege we owe allegiance

Hey lady, where you been so long?
Hey lady, where you don’t belong
The sun is in the sky
The tears are in your eye
And I see you, and you see me

Hey lady, what did I do wrong?
Hey maybe, did I try too strong?
You check your mate in fifteen moves
But you’re the one whose gonna lose
Cause I know you, and you know me
Come home

Hey lady, won’t you please confess
Hey lady, give me your address
The sun is in the sky
The tears are in your eye
And I see you and you see me
And I see you
Come home

I gotta woman, oh I'm so happy
Man it's my heyday, I got a lady
I gotta woman, wo-wo-wo-woman
I never thought that love could be this way
I never thought that you could come my way
I gotta woman, wo-wo-wo-woman

I used to walk in the shadow
I used to walk in the rain
I used to think that my mind was insane
But then you took away all the pain

If it's a showdown, you're feeling low down
Don't think you'll find your personal heaven
Look for a woman, wo-wo-wo-woman

Days at ease with no telephone
Uncle Moustache on the coffee machine
I found a way into Jerusalem
I found a way into Jerusalem

Never been religious
Never been that way at all
But man you look beyond the city wall
I found a way into Jerusalem
I found a way into Jerusalem

I walked with Juicy to the Old Bazaar
Through the back streets
To the Mosque of Saint Omar
I found a way into Jerusalem
I found a way into Jerusalem
I found a way into Jerusalem

Heard a lot about the men who died
Now I understand the reason why they cried
I found a way into Jerusalem
I found a way into Jerusalem
I found a way into Jerusalem
I found a way into Jerusalem

Mackerels and fishes are swimming away
Squirrels are saving the fruits of decay
Green leaves are dying and turning to brown
Apples are falling to the ground
Winter's creeping just round the corner

Nice Mrs Brockle is cleaning the grate
She's looking worried, Tom is late
The rain on the window is pattering loud
Outside the wind begins to howl
Winter's creeping just round the corner
Just round the corner

So darling good luck in
the winter that is coming upon us now
And in the years ahead

Seeing as how
Darkness has changed to bright
You've nothing to hide
Why don't you step into the light
No-one wants to deceive you or lead you
That's alright

You're rivals appear
The enemy is drawing near
And shadows of fear
Have brought out a rash on your ear
Seems they want your blood for their culture
Though it aint clear

Getta hold of the tow rope boy
You aint got an hour left to live Oh
Getta hold of yourself now boy
You aint got a reason to give for life

And me and John,
we thought we'd discovered a way
to tear down the walls
to hear all the people say
No-one wants to deceive you or lead you
That's OK, that's Ok, that's all

Getta hold of the tow rope boy
You aint got an hour left to live Oh
Getta hold of yourself now boy
You aint got a reason to give for life
That's alright, that's alright, that's alright

I got a feeling
love's gonna take me
love's gonna make me, or break me in two
See in the distance
she's started moving
I've started drooling
She's gotta gotta gotta be
I can see what she's doing to me

I'm hoping she comes today
Hoping she comes today
Now I know that, now I know that
now I know that, She's the One
Now I know that, now I know that
now I know that, She's the One
She's the one, She's the one

I gotta notion
Time now for action
she's a distraction
I gotta make a move that'll pay
or I'll wind up regretting this day

I'm hoping she comes today
Hoping she comes today
Now I know that, now I know that
now I know that, She's the One

I gotta feeling
love's gonna take me
love's gonna make me, or break me in two
I'm hoping she comes today
hoping she comes today
Now I know that, now I know that
now I know that, She's the One

You lost your sense of rhythm
you said good-bye to the song
so long, so long.
You lost your sense of beauty
you said goodbye to the light
hello night - come on!

Shedoobeedoob - no melody
Shedoobeedoob - no rhythm
Shedoobeedoob - no music at all

And sing it simple
And sing it sad
And sing it gentle
And sing it glad

Shedoobeedoob - no melody
Shedoobeedoob - no rhythm
Shedoobeedoob - no music at all

You lost your sense of rhythm
you said good-bye to the song
so long, so long.
You lost your sense of beauty
you said goodbye to the light
hello night - come on!

And sing it simple
And sing it sad
And sing it gentle
And sing it glad

In The Forest of Dean
I first fell in love
And she showed me more than I’ve
ever seen, in the Forest of Dean
In The Valley of Wye
Looking up at Symond’s Yat
We first noticed the sky
Wondering, in the Valley of Wye

And every place I’ve ever been
Harbours her memories
And every face I’ve ever seen
Harbours her memories

In the Hills of Breconshire
We talked about our lives
As we walked the aged stone
Smiling, in the southern part of Wales

And every place I’ve ever been
Harbours her memories
And every face I’ve ever seen
Harbours her memories

But it’s OK you do not have to care
OK we’re really nearly there
Surround yourself with flowers dear
Forget about the hours dear
It’s OK today

Turn again Lane, go back you, know she l-l-loved you
Go back, that girl's in love with you
Turn again Lane, go back you, know that you're gonna need her
Go back go let her sun shine through
You know that girls in love with you
You know that girls in love with
girls in love with, girls in love with you

Turn again lane go back you, know that you're gonna need her
Go back go let her sun shine through
You know that girl's in love with you
You know that girls in love with
girls in love with, girls in love with you

Want you to say that you'll give her all your love
And so much more, and so much more
Love in a way that a young man only can
With so much more and so much more and so much more

Turn again lane you twit you, don't know what you missed you
Sure ought to get yourself a brain
Turn again lane, Turn again Lane, Turn Again lane

Knowing the way that she moves her sweater
Down in the deep sea south
She's the kind of girl that's got a lot to recommend her
She aint no common mouth

I want you to say that you'll give her all your love
And so much more and so much more
Love in a way that a young man only can
With so much more and so much more and so much more

Out here there's a lot that's unexplored
My advice to you is go back home

"And if you are new here I must ask you sir
Do you happen to carry a gun
I discovered when young to trust no-one
And to learn from mistakes I had made
These are days of deceit and suspicion sir
You must not take offence if I say
That you look like a queer or a harbourer
Of ladies of latter decay
This part of the world is a dark one son
We live by the laws we have made
Though it's true we may harm in mistake sometimes
We thank God for the lives we have saved
We thank God for the lives we have saved
So if you are new here I must ask you sir
Will you kindly go back where you came
I discovered when young to trust no-one
And to learn from mistakes I had made
And to learn from mistakes I had made"

Leicester Square Lady
You've had your heyday ? blow!
Down in the distance, there's a resistance ? know!
You cannot see me, you cannot be me ? so ? go!
Over the valley coming a sudden snow
Shatter the evening, flowing the dream I owe
No point in lying, might as well say we're through, we're through

We're going over, we're going over, we're going over

Leicester Square Lady
You've had your heyday ? blow!
Down in the distance, there's a resistance ? know!
You cannot see me, you cannot be me ? so ? go!

We're going Over, we're going over

But you have seen where words have been
And though you've heard the wise men cry
It seems we've opened up the sky

Leicester Square Lady, you've had your heyday ? go!
Often I think of all of the things we'd do
No point in lying, might as well say we're through
We're through

We're going over, we're going over, we're going over

We are fighting a losing battle
No one is winning
No-one's beginning
We are on the doorway of knowledge
Have we the wisdom, have we the wisdom?
We are looking for something that's missing
Dark all around us
Darkness surrounding
We are fighting a losing battle
No one is winning
No-one's beginning
We

Come out of the sky little mama
And let me see you smile
The sun is all around
The sun is all around
Come out of the sky little angel
And let me see you be
You are the one for me
You are the one for me

Where there's a will there's a way
Where there's a will there's a way
There's a way, there's always a way
For where there's a will there's a way
Where there's a road there's a wheel
Where there's a road there's a wheel
There's a wheel, there's always a wheel
For where there's a will there's a way

Carving a valley, building a chalet by
Rivers and mountains, lacking in certainty
Trying to get happy
Trying to get part of the
Innermost circle
No time to turn around now

Where there is water there's a craft
Where there is water there's a craft
There's a craft, there's always a craft
For where there's a will there's a way
Where there is air there's a plane
Where there is air there's a plane
There's a plane, there's always a plane
For where there's a will there's a way

Carving a valley, building a chalet by
Rivers and mountains, lacking in certainty
Trying to get happy
Trying to get part of the
Innermost circle
No time to turn around now
There's a way
There's a way
We've got a long way to go

When he found her
He stayed down there
With his velvet pills
And her purple hair
In a room so dark
They could barely crawl
With orange posters
On Victorian walls
It was Saturday night
And he felt like death
She just wanted to be loved
Like anybody else
Saturday night
And the clock never stopped
She felt like a loser
On top or the pops
The Chelsea lovers
With guillotine lips
Mascara egos
Doing a magazine strip
Chelsea lovers
In a vicious town
With lipstick futures
Like a couple of clowns
Strange creatures
In the eider down
Teenage oblivion
Waiting to be crowned
Holes in the mattress
Where these beasts have lain
Awake until morning
With ice in their veins
Facing each other
Their eyes never met
He just wanted to be straight
It never happened to him yet
Both of them laughing
But they can't understand
What it is about friendship
Makes you hold your own hand
The Chelsea lovers
Oh how they can talk
With their tongues connected
And their skin like chalk
Chelsea lovers
They're joined at the hip
With the power of madness
At their fingertips
Chelsea lovers
With their limbs entwined
Making moon sized promises
From their molecule minds
Stardust lovers
In a Ziggy cartoon
Two solemn lovers
In a Chelsea room.

Driving me home in your car watching you drive
Through obstacles and icicles, keeping my mind on its lead
Keeping it warm, with chemicals and therapy
Turn it on take me over crazy sister
Digging a hole in your heart
Watching you breathe, punishment and oxygen
Letting my mind off its lead
I watched it disappear, to somewhere dark and reassuring
Turn it on (can you believe it)
Take me over (it's psychomazingly true)
Turn it on crazy sister
And when I feel it (it's psychomazing it's you)
Staying at home. Plugging it in
Kissing the screen, being a god
Staying at home, screwing it in
Fucking the screen, being a god
Turn it on (can you feel it)
Crazy sister
Turn it on (can you believe it)
Crazy sister
Turn it on, take me over
Crazy sister
Crazy sister

Damien save me
And be my guide
Sooner or later
We're all gonna die
When we were walking
Through the streets
Everything you said was bittersweet
And I wish that we could be in a
Bottle of time just you and me
Let's talk about the ways and means
The body shape
The love supreme
And drink drink until we disappear
Damien save me
And be my god
Sooner or later
I'm gonna die like a dog
Cut me in half
And I'll let you see
What this whole wide world
Has done to me
I'll be you sacrificial cow
Just tell me when and I'll
Show you how
Let's talk about
The sacrifice
The body limbs
That rest on ice and drink drink until
We disappear
I know you'll never let me down
Down down down
So let's take it and push it
And kick it and break it
And turn it all around.
Damien save me
And be my guy
Sooner or later
We're all gonna die
When we were walking
Through the streets
Everything you said was bittersweet
And I wish that we could be
In a bottle of time
Just you and me
When we were walking through the streets
...walking through the streets
...walking through the streets.

That's what you've got to do, when it's all over
That's what you've got to do, when it's all over
That's what you've got to do, when it's all over
That's what you've got to do, when it's all over
Greetings from the gutter
I've been here since yesterday
Sweet dreams in the gutter
All the skeletons come out to play
At times I feel so logical inside
So just give me the keys
And I'll drive myself back home
That's what you've got to do, when it's all over
That's what you've got to do, when it's all over
That's what you've got to do, when it's all over
That's what you've got to do, when it's all over
I stand in the mirror counting the scars I let you see
A little soft edged but bitter
You're a star you don't talk to me
That's what you've got to do, when it's all over
That's what you've got to do, when it's all over
That's what you've got to do, when it's all over
That's what you've got to do, when it's all over

I bought your record in NYC
Discorama down on Union Square
I must have played it a million times over
I'd close my eyes imagine you were there
you know
I really dig the clothes you wear
I only wish you could be my baby
I want to read about it
do you think we could have an affair

Maybe your heart is made of stone
maybe I'm just too blind to see
maybe your heart is made of stone
maybe I'm just too blind too see

Two weeks in ElectricLady Land
two weeks and that's all for me
I could be lucky and get off lightly
with a broken nose and the third degree
she said I really dig Disco music
and if you want to be my baby
we'd better talk about it
maybe then we could have an affair

Maybe your heart is made of stone
maybe I'm just too blind to see
maybe your heart is made of stone
maybe I'm just too blind too see

I want to drive east coast to west coast
turn up my radio set myself free
don't want to talk about it
you and me should have an affair

Maybe your heart is made of stone
maybe I'm just too blind to see
maybe your heart is made of stone
maybe I'm just too blind to see

The streets in search of anyone who'll take them home
I lie alone, the clock strikes three
And anyone who wanted to could contact me
At dead of night, 'till break of day
Endless thoughts and questions keep me awake
It's much too late

Where've you been?
Who've you seen?
You didn't phone when you said you would!
Do you lie?
Do you try
To keep in touch? You know you could
I've tried to see your point of view
But could not hear or see
For jealousy

I never knew time passed so slow
I wish I'd never met you, or that I could bear to let you go
At dead of night, 'till break of day
Endless thoughts and questions keep me awake
It's much too late

Where've you been?
Who've you seen?
You didn't phone when you said you would!
Do you lie?
Do you try
To keep in touch? You know you could
I've tried to see your point of view
But could not hear or see
For jealousy
Where've you been?
Who've you seen?
You didn't phone when you said you would!
Do you lie?
Do you try
To keep in touch? You know you could
I've tried to see your point of view
But could not hear or see
For jealousy

Where've you been?
Who've you seen?
You didn't phone when you said you would!
Do you lie?
Do you try
To keep in touch? You know you could
I've tried to see your point of view
But could not hear or see
For jealousy
Where've you been?
Who've you seen?
You didn't phone when you said you would!
Do you lie?
Do you try
To keep in touch? You know you could
I've tried to see your point of view
But could not hear or see
For jealousy

I never knew 'til I met you

Oh no, not you again
I paid you already
Too much times ten
Oh no, not you again
I don't know how it started
But this is the end
There's a gap in your teeth
The words fall through
They spread a virus
And they stick like glue
There's a pain in my neck
And a stone in my shoe
There's a lump in my throat
It was more than I could chew
Oh no, not you again
With your cheque book religion
And your diet coke friends
Oh no, not you again
There's a hole in your foot
You shot it yourself
Pulled the silver trigger
And damaged your health
I've been dying from exposure
Since I shook your hand
I see California gave you more than a tan
Oh no, not you again
With your world in a bubble
And your gossamer smile
Oh no, not you again
So nice to hear from you
Once in a while
You stuck a knife
In my back
And my blood ran cold
I think you mistook
Me for a bag of gold
But there's justice in
The valley and they
Say it's divine
I've heard all about
Your problems
Now here's some of mine.

I fell down on it Valentine's day
Dropped my flowers in the rain
And got carried away
The tide was coming in
I could have been sad
I could have been amused
But I was just in pieces
It was then that I knew
The tide was coming in
Aaahh this pattern on the back of my hand
It makes a joke of me and the veins are like
Rivers in sand running out to sea
Nobody slept on the night of the crash
We were all covered in devil grey ash
The tide was coming in
I could have been dead
I could have been underground
But somebody decided I should stick around
The tide was coming in
Aaahh I know I'm just killing time
But time is killing me
My eyes are witness to this crime and looking out to sea

You talk a lot
You laugh a lot
Yes you talk a lot
You never stop
No you never stop
But you never talk about
The way you feel
The way we make each other feel
You celebrate
And cut a cake
Yes you couldn't wait
No you couldn't wait
But you never thought about the way I'd feel
The way you made somebody feel
Do you believe in all you hear
Your husband's sick
Your sister's queer
Your mouth is full of shaky teeth
From dreams that make you disbelieve
That all I've ever said and done was
Wish you well and have some fun
Have some fun

I asked him to take me upstairs where the music was loud
He said things have changed and consumed,
they belonged to the crowd
My life's an echo, where do I start the remission
to you and the world
World sping round, they say the world spings round
And I'm alive...

And my head spins rounf, I said my head
spins round, I've been confined
Feeling defying descriptionare troubling me
I'm in a vaccum and nameless statistical seed
My life's number seeking a factor to triple
it's value to three
Three times three equals a point
where rhere maximize me
Three blind mice at an amazing price
Come here and see...
Here with the swindlers, I never make it,
I met a date,
My life is useless, Rupert refuses to be my friend
We will think of you, think of you
Rupert's confided to me, he got a boyfriend,
I am out of place
Faces keep on changing, nothing is stable
I lost the race
We won't think of you, think of you

I make my days Look out the world
How it loves such a man who could have no place
Put on a smile Into the streets
How they ache for the smile of the sunny field
But still machines they grind
the life is hard enough and it has beed before

They say you're mad Look out the wealth
In the western world For a boy with brains
Please come with us
We'll buy your soul with the privilege of a chosen few
And so machines they grind to life is hard enough
that it has been before

We came away from the sea there was you, there was me There were rafters
We made a home on the land where we found we could stand in sunlight
Here we are, Here we are
We fought for life in the ground Where we found we can fight for survival
All forms of life have been doomed
They were bored, ther were sold, ther were smothered
Near the end, Near the end

Lift is a plight in a jugle fight Must be the turn of the brothers
Life is case of strong and weak where the strong will devour the others
Born on themselves
There is no room anymore Though I love to escape the evation
There is no choice anymore We must live together with each other
Born in group, born in group
If life is a plight in the jungle fight Must be the turn of the brothers
If life is case of strong and weak where the strong will devour the others
Born on themselves
Look at the race I wonder who is winning? I wonder if they know it does not mean a thing
Hey look at the pace, stablility is winning but then it doesn't matter to a clown, clown

A knight in arms, a knight in darkness as he turns, we are digested
a face lit up beyond despair in this voice that was rejected
Give it back to shored of Albian where the hills were first abused
Give it back to the folk inside your pope Give it back the will to live

Strange, recluse, his thought elusive we cheat and with excuses
amid the rush of evil forces abusing our resources
Coming back the tide that can't be stopped The wheels that always roll
Coming back beyond the eyes of greed Coming back inside your soul

Near a man whose never feared and the one who is within you
the voice you heard before you died as your mind was most receptive
Coming back from below through all these years At last I here the bells
Coming back with winds that fill the stilts of rags defeat unfolds
Coming back the tide that can't be stopped The wheels that always roll
Coming back with winds to fill the sails of rags befeat unfold

Don't be scared of shadows
Nasty man who look
Lots of rotten bullies
Pushing you around
They will never steal
what it means to feel
The wonders of being without
Where I stand it seems that existence is resistant to despair
Now I know my life has not been easy
But at least it has been there
Sometimes there'll be good times
Some folks can be kind
But the wind that blows inside us
will be blind
For this time I have waited for ages
All my ages have been dried
I've been lost in the swelling of oceans
All my notion have been hide
Over every mo hill
Under every mind
For the essence of notion is devotion to will

So you see I'm not going to mind it
Or define it with degrees
Every inch of being is like old time
Is the right time to be free

Lights were where I'm burning
The room was filled with men
Some playing cards for higher stakes
Some looking into telescopes pointed within them
Here with me, it's you and me
I feel you're on my side
Here my space, a trace of lace
A face that's here to mine

There going back, they've had it
They're slipping up on their ends
This bush men with eyes of ice
A culmination of things that were never inevitable

Here my wings, my everything
My platform to the sky
Here my gem, stop for them
Upon the other side

I'm caught on a cloud
the feeling mortified
I'm floating around
stranger with no hand
The looser with no tie
A laughter rings with plenty to joke
I never would complain
Feet loosing the ground
I'm always out of time
I always miss the line
Doesn't count but oh no no no
Why must I always be far away?
Go astray, caught like a bubble in the wind
oh!...

Lay talking away
He said that he was mad
He told them the truth
He said that he had to pay
He said that couldn't stay
They always choose but oh no no no
Why must I always be far away?
Go astray, acting like a traitor trapped in time
Oh!...

_Spiggly

Love's so easy, Love's so fine
Into our lives the time we always need it
No more to strange shadow
I feel us make it, Hope we make it over

Love's so easy, Love's so fine
Into our lives the time we always need it
No more to strange shadow
I feel us make it, Hope we make it over

Body and matter just flying and turning...
turn on burn, now
which can be mainly itself furthest point
or just burned by scientific negotiations
what's loved mind and lived
are easily interchangeable in the hands of physicians
perfectly acquainted with all the modern demises
so you stand there... being the world there
looking at the birds

*We are the stars
We are the furthest point you can see
We are weird... We are...*

You'll decide if I should say
that once upon a time there was a young man
Filled of thoughts of special beauty
Living well on hopes with nothing solemn
Ah!...

Turn away and make a million
and gather all you can and make it your own
But remember at the end you will look and see
that you are nothing but a dead man
Ah!...

We smile at ourself wide eyed
Have you doubted success
But you were foolish you were treated such a moment task
as the reorganization of electorate history
As observing our own oasis for any particular
occurrence or not
We're living here

Occurrence, media, awareness, area, communicating with each atom

*Repeat

Who can you trust to be your friend in this division
when standing in the middle of a noisy bad collision
It's always best to stay amused
Whether know if we are waiting for a big salvation
Someone is gonna stop decay and go with creation
Someone is gonna save the world

The soul of chaplain, bridges get some
source of muddles and smashing broke your able
and dragged your track gets in puddles
I wonder if it might be me?

I know that slap-up... no way need a begun super
or no arch build... being just a joke... so lavish clinch
We'll in case he'll be alive [3x]

You're old, you may be moved
You know of things that past
and you will think about the sun
Your sun when you were young and there was glory

The sergeant says you gotta to turn down the lights
It's the things you keep concealed that make you safe in the night
Not the stars

The sergeant says that if there's room at the top
He'll be sure to let you through to give
you the things that you've got
If you felt

We've been living on hell, oh yeah
We've been living on hell, oh yeah

The sergeant says that if you're nearing the phone
Will you kindly check transmission as
the meters have gone
Out of phase

And I suggest that if you're thinking of her
That the best thing you can do is to forget she exists and get on

You've been living on hell, oh yeah
You've been living on hell

She lives in the block of flat
She's always on her own
I tried to get in touch with her
But she's not on the phone
and every having you you leave
it's never where you are
the stars that blow into the night
are never very far

So I play the game and the darning sake
and they never never never never cal tells
And I tried my best to get on the test
of the never never never never can tells

I'm becoming aware, oh yeah
I'm becoming aware, oh yeah

It seems may well be
the last song I write
cause I can't touch truch
when the words don't seem right
well who cares?

I'll leave you now with a silent salute
to the man dress in armor
who have stolen your youth
and your charm

We've been living on hell, oh yeah
We've been living on hell, oh yeah

One day I will find a way
to save her from her plight
It well may take a million years
but she will see the light
Because I've had enough of feel she go
and the never never never never can tells

And I'm going back to the human zoo
to see if animas are relative of mine
to see if animas are relative of mine
to see if animas are relative
if animals are relatives
if animals are relative of mine

though i may whisper words
you don't understand
though i'm in need of help
you can't lend a hand
to be at home in the world
to be at home in the world
though i may come and go
it is not from you that i flow
wild though the world may be
it's inside of me, inside of me.
to be at home in the world
to be at home in the world
this is all that a man can need
cannot you see.
though i may act unkind
i don't mean to be,honestly
it's just that it's hard to see
the reality,reality.

look at the ocean go rolling by slowly
we're on the waves and it's ever so lonely
how very strange i should thing that there's something wrong
captain's log, the first of june
have run into a bad monsoon
i'm 54 i've sailed before
this is not the sea it's war.
grab the rigging, man the sail
i do not think we will survive
i do not think we will survive
cloud in the distance appeared like a mushroom
then came the heat and the rage of the ocean
we're going down and i don't think i'd rather stay
and to those who caused the pain
i only hope you will remain
i'm going down with what was good
i wouldn't stay if i could.

the first man was a juggler, and his skill was very great
but he said that he was leaving, he said he couldn't wait.
the second came with jewels that flickered on his hand
and he spoke about tomorrow as if it were another land.
a lady caught between them said she should be free
but they just looked bewildered, and said "yes so should we".
"how on Earth" yelled the author
"does the tale make it's sense"
"it's alive with the truth
but we must have the proof
how can we open the door"
well the next man had religion, it made him very proud
he said he'd found his inner bliss, he said very loud
but a group of men surpassed him with science, skills, and speed
they hurled down his conceptions and dug up all his weeds.
the lady she looked worried, she asked if this was wise
"of course it is, it's logic, brains and enterprise".
the last man had no number and didn't say a word
he didn't even answer them when they said he was absurd
they made him sign a treaty to give up all he owned
and searched his pockets anxiously to see if he had gold
the lady was enchanted and said they ought to see
so they charged her with subversion and made her watch T.V.
i'm a man with no future
with no past or no time
and i live by the door
lord i live by the door
i won't be back no more.
we are fighting a losing battle
no one is winning
no one's beginning
we are looking for something that's missing
dark all around us
darknees surrounding
we are on the doorway of knowledge
have we the wisdom?
have we the wisdom?

if you're going to be a mountain
let me see you thrust your snows
in innocence through clouds of doubt
that try to keep your reason out
in these times of glaciated slaughter.
and if your going to be a legend
let it be a tale whose telling
is a state of mind that's dwelling
far beyond the words dark capture
to fill the heart alone with rapture
in these days of circles.
and if you're going to be an island
i will be a sailling ship
who like a speck at total distance
looms beyond your headland breakers
till the ocean's mighty plunder
bids me seek the gentler shelter
of your in land waters
have you never seen beyond the moon
don't you know that we will be there soon?
have you no eyes to see?
that you are only me and we are only
travellers upon a sea of time
trying very hard to make it rhyme.

I tried so hard, to keep our love alive
To keep you by my side
But the winter and my pride
Dissolved into the spring
Oh love is a very funny thing
I'm sure you know
And though you lose someone
You keep your soul

The fresh unfaded green
Makes my heart to dream
And the April Rain
Washes me clean again
Of the sorrow that went before
Oh love is a very funny thing
It lingers on
And a part of me
Is always he

Love is a very funny thing
It lingers on
And a part of me
Is always he

magical mary, she looks like a fairy
and waves her wand around
points at an earthmen and says allejujah
just look at what i've found.
magical mary, she shivers her timbers
and lays you on the ground
strikes up a rhythm in fifty two tempo
and says hey man you're found
i gotta come with you
i got to come
madrigal mistress has seventy sisters
and everyone's the same
they come with assistance, to break your resistance
and man you're brained your likely to wind up maimed
i gotta come with you
i got to come
don't ask me no questions
i got to come
always the same, i don't know how you do it
just a game no matter how you view it
always the same
you're gonna be alone
you're gonna need someone
you're gonna find it hard
to get yourself a man
whose gonna take your hand
or even understand just what you're into.
mr brain he thought he found salvation
using words to try to calm the nation
what a shame,
he didn't have a notion
how to use the lotion
gotta spread it thin
to give each one a portion
gotta make it clear
they're gonna get a portion
so's they're happy
always the same you never seem to falter
make a ship you'll have me at the altar
never mind,
it doesn't matter much
because you've got the touch
you really got it made
you're gonna make the grade
and you can try your hand
another time around that's if you want to

the duke of beaufoot is not at home today
he's very tiredhe thought he'd go away
youwait for him your eyes are on the door
you know no other way
the duke of beaufoot is very kind to cats
keeps them in his cellar to help him catch his rats
he's very noble and his lineage is pure
but you, you're whore
the duke of splendour just wasn't much amused
and nor were you you knew you'd been abused
if you'd had help you might have buggered up his fuse
but alone you're too confused
he picked me up
i was on the street
he made it clear he would use me
my parents died, i was three years old
i had to make a living
close your eyes
in a lot of ways i am close to him
though he may seem to ignore it
i'm sure he cares at least i think he does
it's just he's very busy
close your eyes
here's today, says the telegraph
it's the world, it's the world
gone away on a phonograph
riding high, riding high
there's a way says the cenotaph
you will find, you will find
gone in search of an epitaph
running wild, running wild
you saw them coming forward
asking you to be kind
you couldn't face their council
they were men full of greed in your position
nothing's sacred
you have only the wine
you stand alone
but not alone in your loneliness
and yet there must be more
i can't believe that all has been in vain
if there is, it's be sure of friendship
as the hours grow long
rest assured that this phase is passing
give yourself a chance

do you mind a question please sir stay
what was life in the olden days
long ago before the war.
contractors to her majesty's government we were
dealers in honest trade
there were some mighty queer folk about
but most were honest workers and knew their place
i was a skilled craftsman mark you
the work was hard and the hours they were long
ah but there was a maiden and her name was marjorie
long black hair she had like a gypsy
and the prettiest smile i've ever seen
i called her an angel and i was right she was.
then there was the war
forging a pathway for freedom, using resources we need them
though our foes are human beings we stand between them
and the life we do condone
shipped out to belgium to stop them,
plastered and shelled them,but lost ground
bombs and rockets,V2's over London city
and the world at their command
back in Yeadon Marjorie stood beneath a factory
i was assured she felt no pain
withdrawn from Dunkirk in cruisers,
who cares says i we're all losers
no one wins both sides the victims of our nature
may the future learn
back in yeadon marjorie,died beneath the factory
a messerschimdt her destiny
you who think the rest are wrong and stand
so tall and feel so strong
please be sure that you yourself are not mistaken
for the future won't be long......

if you don't like lying in the sun you might as well not be here
what's the point of always working?
shut your eyes and let the colours come
and blot out all the black and white
and dirty grey and damp and dust and dry rot in the roof
on the beach we lit a fire, a frenchman gave us wine and whiskey
out to sea the britsh navy
keeps an eye on foreign shipping
to keep us safe from war the hope of which is
all that keeps our soldiers sleeping through the night
if you don't like lying in the sun you might as well not be here
let the sea come in and cover you
you will feel a new dimension
like sleeping on a feather bed and dreaming of a world
in which you do not have to work
you suffer, you die, you labour, you cry
things will change, time will tell
things will change, time will tell
in the courtyard children playing
in their lives the sun is shinning through
they'll all be socialists, humanists
they'll all be scientists, atheists
egalitarian, vegetarian, internationalists
they'll all be mystics, they all be gods
they'll all be famous, they'll all be sods
things will change, time will tell
things will change, time will tell
what you want to be you must try to be, you will all be free.

here on our road, are gathered we
to see our lives unfolding
though others stay
we pass away
just as the tide goes rolling
this is a time of change
al parting of the ways
though others stay
we pass away
just as the tide goes rolling
and i'll remember you
beyond these hopes and these fears
that account for the years
like the wind in the reeds, i will miss you
and i will think of you
when the past comes along
to remind me what's gone
like the wind in the reeds, i will miss you
can we go back and start again
can we begin where we came in
some travellers passed as we stopped for a moment in peace
with blood on their fingers they spoke of a cloud in the east.
and we were a happy crew, me and you
we were a happy crew, me and you.
speaking with words we were sure that the truth had been banned
we'd buried the martyrs and walked off to work on the land
and we were a happy crew, me and you
we were a happy crew, you and me.
some riders appeared from the sun as it fell with a blaze
they passed like the wind and were lost in the dust to the east.
and we were a happy crew, me and you
we were a happy crew, you and me.

There's smoke in the hills and
Dust in the valley
They're burning candles
Now in Canterbury
And there's roads that go east
And roads that go west
And roads to the sea
To see where sea goes fly

There was a group who played in the country
sang throught the change us
Long atmosphere as we finding
Ah!......
I see the spartian
Murals are calling us
And does that mean they thought,too
You just not forgot his
You should not be longing
I'm Going to miss you
Oh!.....

Ah!.....
And you sing by yourself
you sing by yourself
Lie all the time
Here I lie in the dark and you lay in the park
With no fear of the stranger
We're not frightened
We're not frightened
you handle your life
You conzuer by stride
You're all irreceptive
You scramble to die
Evil look out
You're open to changes
We're not frightened
We're not frightened
Ah!.....
