I'm not content to be with you in the day-time

Girl
I want to be with you all of the time.
The only time I feel alright is by your side.

Girl
I want to be with you all of the time

All day and all of the night
all day and all of the night

All day and all of the night.

I believe that you and me last forever

Oh yeah
all day and night-time yours
leave me never!
The only time I teel alright is by your side.

Girl
I want to be with you all of the time

All day and all of the night
all day and all of the night.

I believe that you and me last forever
. . .
Girl
I want to be with you all of the time

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

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

Golden brown, texture like sun
Lays me down, with my mind she runs
Throughout the night
No need to fight
Never a frown, with golden brown

Every time just like the last
On her ship tied to the mast
To distant lands
Takes both my hands
Never a frown with golden brown

Golden brown, finer temptress
Through the ages she's heading west
From far away
Stays for a day
Never a frown with golden brown

(instrumental)

Never a frown (Never a frown)
With golden brown (With golden brown)
Never a frown (Never a frown)
With golden brown (With golden brown)

Never a frown (Never a frown)
With golden brown (With golden brown)
Never a frown (Never a frown)
With golden brown (With golden brown

The words
Came down the line
Just a few words
At a time
The meaning
It was Clear
There was no sign of fear
The scene
That they described
Were sad
You could have cried
The journey's
Just too long
To even
Take the ride

It's always
The same
It's always
In vain
If the truth
Were only known
If the words
Had only shown

That lies and deception
They move in one direction
And then in the end you lose........

That lies and deception
They move in one direction
And then in the end you lose........
You lose

And now
The line is dead
You did everything
You ever said
You brought it down
You turned around
And what was said
Was said
The deed is done
You've had your fun
And home again
You'll run

You know inside
You'll never hide
And what was done
Was done

It's always
The same
It's always
In vain
If the truth
Were only known
If the words
Had only shown

That lies and deception
They move in one direction
And then in the end you lose........

That lies and deception
They move in one direction
And then in the end you lose........

Don't get too close now but don't stay too far
See I need you here when inclined to clear the
Head and redefine
Spend a day in my life
You talk about money do you need to advertise
Can you see me laughing
This is no easy ride

And I walk and I talk I'm alive
And I walk and I talk I'm alive am I am I

You get a little closer but won't stay too long
You can take my bread for a life any place
Anytime
Help me out of my chair
Did you think it was funny talking money money
Those reptile eyes
Can you see me laughing
This is no easy ride

Think of all the money with a lad and a girl
Get yourself a home loch the door get along
Get it up try your fucking luck get a dog
Take a walk what's your point you've played your hand

Money money
Call it anything you want and I won't care
It's all you think about it's money mother

Whatever happened to Leon Trotsky ?
He got an ice pick
That made his ears burn

Whatever happened to dear old Lenny ?
The great Elmyra, and Sancho Panza ?
Whatever happened to the heroes ?
Whatever happened to the heroes ?

Whatever happened to all the heroes ?
All the Shakespearoes ?
They watched their Rome burn
Whatever happened to the heroes ?
Whatever happened to the heroes ?

No more heroes any more
No more heroes any more

Whatever happened to all the heroes ?
All the Shakespearoes ?
They watched their Rome burn
Whatever happened to the heroes ?
Whatever happened to the heroes ?

No more heroes any more
No more heroes any more

And the pharaoh raised his hand
Said dig a hole in the promised land
The pointing men are marching in a line
They're shooting poison arrows in the sky

These are the last days of paradise row

There's a man knocking on my door
He's playing games with word of the law
A hammer in his hand to break your soul
But the spirit is a house that will not fall


These are the last days of paradise row
Tell me Moses where will your children go


Now the scorpion will go
Where the forest will not grow
And the pharaoh lies behind a golden mask
His pointing men steal water from our well


I don't mind telling you
It makes my heart bleed
I don't mind telling you
It makes my heart bleed


These are the last days of paradise row
Tell me Moses where will your children go?
These are the last days of paradise row
Tell me Moses where will your children go?

Hot town summer in the city
Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty
Been down isn't it a pity
Doesn't seen to be a shadow in the city
All around me people looking half dead
Choking on the sidewalk, it's hotter than a match head
At night it's a different town
Go out and find a girl
Come on come on and dance all night
Just what you need, it will be alright
And babe don't you know it's a pity
The days can't be like the nights
In the summer in the city
In the summer in the city

Cool town meeting in the city
Dressed so fine and looking so pretty
Cool cat looking for a kitty
Gonna look in every corner of the city
'till I'm wheezing at the bus stop
Running up the stairs gonna meet you on the roof top

At night it's a different town, go out and find a girl
Come on come on and dance all night
Just what you need it will be alright
And babe don't you know it's a pity
The days can't be like the night
In the summer in the city
In the summer in the city

Ray decided to be silly after all
He'd died a 1000 times before in the viet war
So he strapped himself in and he took his chances
Into the valley of the bird, absurd
I don't remember what it was the old man said
I know I' d tempted fate a 1000 times before
So we strapped ourselves in and we took such chances

And had a flight for the brother who can't be
Birdman, looking for the
Wasteland, trying to get my
Face tanned it's beautiful here
Doing it we're flying in the valley of the birds- fly

We decided one for all and all for one
And when I do, I really want to go in style
So without a sense of reason we explored
Like throwing stones into the great unknown

Birdman, looking for the
Wasteland, trying to get my
Face tanned it's beautiful here
Doing it we're flying in the valley of the birds- fly

Hey babe take a chance on me
I'll be your man tonight
Just tell me when you've had enough
Then I'll apply the coup de grace
If I were to live forever
I'd hope you'd apply the coup de grace

Hey babe take a chance with me
I'll take you down the river tonight
A full moon with a big wolf too
The end won't be a pretty sight

And then we seeking something
We need the coup de grace

O lord I'm on my knees, save our holes
Or it's the coup de grace, save our holes

Hey babe I'm a bum tonight
I need somewhere to sleep
I'll love you now and I'll love you then
But in the morning you will weep

God is good- God is good- God is good
God is good- God is good- God is good
God is good- God is good- God is good
God is good and he will always provide
There's no place for the infidel to hide

God is good- God is good- God is good

This was my land, now it's yours
But when we're gone, it will always be gone

God is good- God is good- God is good

Slit the throat of the infidel
Kill the children so they never will tell

God is good- God is good- God is good
God is good- God is good- God is good
God is good- God is good- God is good

And if you could see your hand
That would help you understand
All the things that we endured
To be here right now
On the way I lost some dreams
Shattered other people's too
Those remaining are my friends
And they light a trail to you

And if you could plainly see
What was occurring round the bend
Would it really change what happens in the end

Once I loved a woman so
I asked her to be my wife
Now that love is indifferent
For those years did I waste my life

If we saw what was to be
Would we just avoid the debris
We're here to make our own mistakes
And for that we've got to be free

And if you could plainly see
What was occurring round the bend
Would it really change what happens in the end

Am I too philosophical
Should I look into a crystal ball
Am I being too quizzical
Or should I trust in fate

And if you could see your hand
That would help you understand
All the things that we endured
To be here right now
And if you could plainly see
What was occurring round the bend
Would it really change what happens in the end

Would it really change what happens in the end

I saw a woman with a monkey on her back now
I saw the flunkey's suffering on the road
Let's all pray to the virgin of hysteria
Let's all pretend to be quite sincere
Our lives will never be the same now
Too much money says look the other way
And if you manage to return somehow

I promise I will change
Please don't go away, again

I jump over my shadow, to reach out to you again
I jump over my shadow, will you take me back again
I jump over my shadow, I jump over my shadow
I jump over my shadow, I jump over my shadow

Big eyes on little kids with big ideas yeah
They're wanting everything that they can see
No need to work and bust your guts now
Just take what you want from you and me

We want some instant deification
Too much faith says look the other way
And if we don't get gratification
Will we ever change, would we ever say, again

I jump over my shadow, to reach out to you again
I jump over my shadow, will you take me back again
I jump over my shadow, I jump over my shadow
I jump over my shadow, I jump over my shadow

Here there lies
Under southern skies
A young man loved by someone
Known unto God
Here there died
Under foreign skies
A young man loved by someone
Known unto God

Long to remain underground
The boy who lost his name
Weeping mother is homeward bound
She failed to find his grave

I can hear the wind and sea
Forever they will be here to guard our sons

Here there lies
Under southern skies
A young man loved by someone
Known unto God

Here there died
Under foreign skies
A young man loved by someone
Known unto God

Long to remain underground
The girl who lost her love
She will never hear the sound
Of the boy who won't return

I can hear the wind and sea
Forever they will be here to guard our sons

Known only unto God

Your making plans to miss to morning train
You want all the world to feel your pain
Tearing at the rules to ease your mind
Sometimes days are dull without this light
You see me staring down the wishing well
Drowning in the stories kissed and fell
Burning through the daze across the night
Summer days are dull without this light

I won't miss you, down where all the souls are broken
I won't miss you, drowned where all the eyes are soaking
I won't miss you, not gonna miss you
Not gonna miss you, I won't miss you
How I miss you

Standing in the shadow of your ties
Said you'd rather lived before it died
Now the days had lost their sweet caress
Decide it was right to taste the rest

You said we really had to freeze the frame
We'll meet another time the perfect plane
But stars really don't mean that much to me
Without their light there's nothing left to see

I won't miss you, down where all the hearts are choking
I won't miss you, drowned in all the stolen moments
I won't miss you, not gonna miss you
Not gonna miss you, I won't miss you
How I miss you
Maybe I lost, maybe I'm lost, break me tied knot
Maybe I'm lost, maybe I'm lost, maybe I'm not

She gave no reason
I'll just follow he sun
She gave no reason
I'll be back when I return
And with reason
We might have still been friends today
If not this season
Then on judgement day, on judgement day

I was imperfect with it
Seen through perfect eyes
Please now lie down beside me
In the morning I will rise

And with reason
We might have still been friends today
If not this season
Then on judgement day, on judgement day

No reason strong enough
To keep her waiting here
All reasons disappeared a long time ago
No reason like she'd had enough
Now I'm swimming in my beer
All reason disappeared a long time ago
All reason disappeared a long time ago

And in the morning morning
Over ancient spires
The Cambridge mists were rising
Over our secret desires

And with reason
We might have still been friends today
If not this season
Then on judgement day, on judgement day

No reason strong enough
To keep her waiting here
All reasons disappeared a long time ago
No reason like she'd had enough
Now I'm swimming in my beer
All reason disappeared a long time ago
All reason disappeared a long time ago

Predestination, not a thing that you'd plan
Misunderstanding, or a line in the sand
Thunder & lightning, did God have a hand
Wasn't it frightening, wasn't it sad
Would it have mattered, it the timing was bad
Something surprising, or nothing so sad
A night at the Wiskey, or was I just mad
Was it intended, why was I so glad
Was it so lovely, did it seem real
Was there a purpose, I just can't tell you

It was always darkness, time was never on your side
That's the rock of ages, and I could tell you why
I'd talk about the daytime, and tell you 'bout the night
You'll have to live in darkness to get some piece of mind
Don't try to make the darkness bright, night will always dim the light

Something is a happening, nothing ain't right
I've been a waiting, a waiting all night
Is it on purpose, who know if you might
I'm biting my nails, right through to the bone
I seem to be dripping my blood on the phone

It was always darkness, time was never on your side
That's the rock of ages, and I could tell you why
I'd talk about the daytime, and tell you 'bout the night
You'll have to live in darkness to get some piece of mind
Don't try to make the darkness bright, night will always dim the light

If I could tell you I might as well
If it was heard, the honest word
But you should know, like no one knows
The words, just can't be heard

Now it don't matter, it's too late to care
It's something you'd saviour, leave up in the air
You can't criticise it, it wouldn't be fair
You couldn't do that, you'd be such a bore
It's only the thinking, that altered the score

It was always darkness, time was never on your side
That's the rock of ages, and I could tell you why
I'd talk about the daytime, and tell you 'bout the night
You'll have to live in darkness to get some piece of mind
Don't try to make the darkness bright, night will always dim the light

Tonight let's drink enough
To se the god and laugh
Let's get shit faced and talk rubbish
Let's get drunk and silly
Tonight we're gonna understand
Those tricks the gods they play on man
Let's fix those problems between religions
And between fathers and their sons

For tonight we're gonna get lost
For tonight we're gonna get lost

I used to dream a lot
Stay up all night and smoking pot
But now life is serious business
I have a family and a mistress

So tonight we're gonna get lost
So tonight we're gonna get lost

Lost in each other's bodies
Lost in each other's sorrow
Maybe there'll be no tomorrow
Who cares

Tonight let's drink enough
To se the god and laugh
Let's get shit faced and talk rubbish
Let's get drunk and silly

For tonight we're gonna get lost
For tonight we're gonna get lost
So tonight we're gonna get lost
Tonight

Life Was Good For A Short While
Hot Sweet Nights Days That Were Fine
Spent Many Hours Just Looking At You
Heart Stopped Beating For A Moment Or Two
Long Black Veil Now You Are Mine

Sun Went Down Never To Rise
Lost In Tears Filling My Eyes
Saw My Love Trampled Deep In The Dirt
Overwhelmed By The Bitterest Hurt
Long Black Veil Now You Are Mine

I've Lately Felt A Stirring
Of Ghosts Around My Mind
And I'm Frightened Of The Things That I Might Find
The Veil Of Black That Claimed You
And Took You From My Sight
Has Marched Across The Sands Of Time Tonight

I Was A Loser In The Loving Wars
I Took My Treasure To The Norfolk Coast
You Did It To Me
You Did It To Me
And Now You See
What's Left Of Me

I Walked Alone On The Norfolk Coast
With The Screams Of The Birds
They Echoed Around My Mind
With The Screams Of The Birds
They Echoed Around My Mind

I Was A Coward In The Loving Wars
You Were For Ever I Was Just A Pause
You Did It To Me
You Did It To Me
And Now You See
What's Left Of Me

I Walked Alone On The Norfolk Coast
With The Screams Of The Birds
They Echoed Around My Mind
I Walked Alone On The Norfolk Coast
With The Screams Of The Birds
They Echoed Around My Mind
With The Screams Of The Birds
They Echoed Around My Mind...

Eine Umarmung
Eine Buck In Deine
Augen Und Ein
Sanfte Kuss

J'te Tiens Dans Mes Bras
On Verra Ce Que Ca Donnera
Et Puis Par Petit Pas
Tu Me Baisera
J'te Tiens Dans Mes Bras
On Verra Ce Que Ca Donnera
Et Puis Par Petit Pas
Tu Me Baisera

Just A Little Closer
I Gaze Into You
Eyes And Then
A Gentle Kiss

I Hold You In My Arms
And Then We'll See What Happens
And Little By Little
I Will Fuck You

Too Many Teardrops For One Heart To Be Crying
Too Many Teardrops For One Heart To Carry On
You're Way On Top Now Since You Left Me
You're Always Laughing Way Down At Me
But Watch Out Now I'm Gonna Get Down
And We'll Be Together For Just A Little While
And Then I'm Gonna Put You Way Down Here
And You'll Start Crying 96 Tears
Cry You're Gonna Cry

And When The Sun Comes Up I'll Be On Top
You'll Be Right Down There Looking Up
I'm Gonna Get You But I Know Now

You're Gonna Cry 96 Tears
You're Gonna Cry 96 Tears

You're Gonna Cry 96 Tears
You're Gonna Cry 96 Tears
You're Gonna Cry Cry Cry Cry Now
You're Gonna Cry Cry Cry Cry Now
Too Many Teardrops
All Night Long
Too Many Teardrops
Cry Cry Cry Cry Now
You're Gonna Cry Cry Cry Cry Now
96 Tears
All Night Long Now
You're Gonna Cry Cry Cry Cry Now
96 Tears
Cry Cry Cry Now
96 Tears
Cry Cry Cry Now
96 Tears
You're Gonna Cry 96 Tears
You're Gonna Cry 96 Tears
You're Gonna Cry Cry Cry Cry Now...

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

In this place I call home
There's a place where I'm alone
To speak with you now you're gone
Now the autumn has come

In this place I call home
Even though the leaves have gone
I can speak with you now
And the winter will come

All the words that could have been said
And the ghosts we thought we'd carefully laid
To rest have returned
In this place I call hoome

There's a time when I'm alone
To speak with you now you're gone
What will the spring bring along
All the words that could have been said

And the ghosts we thought we'd carefully laid to rest
Carefully laid to rest
Carefully laid to rest have returned
In this place I call home

There's a place where I'm a lone
To speak with you now you're gone
And the summer's also gone

Got the chance of a real good time
If you're by yourself, don't hesitate
Spent too long on a wooden fence
If you want to come don't have to wait
If you want to come don't hesitate
Let me get to taste your honey child

[Chorus]
Let's celebrate
Let's celebrate
Let's celebrate
Let's celebrate
Let's celebrate

Wave a flag or sing a song
When you come along let's celebrate
Climb aboard the fun mobile

There's plenty of room on the tailgate
There's plenty of room on the tailgate
Let me get to taste your honey child

[Chorus]

Look for honey round the world
Find it in some special girl
Maybe one maybe eight
Makes no odds let's celebrate

Take some time and run around
Love the world or run it down
Trouble is it's getting late
Come with me let's celebrate
Let me get to taste your honey child

The city blues they strike again
Another worker drops his pen
He wants to be done
And out on the run

Away from her curse, he'd swap all his worth
To be a man of the earth
For 2 or 3 weeks of the year
An Easter Bunny brings Christmas cheer

He's out of his head and toasting the dead
And feeling much worse, he'd swap all his worth
To be a man of the earth
To swap all his worth

To be a man of the earth
Words become the man if only he could write a sonnet
He'd place his life upon it to be a man of the earth
A man of the earth, he'd swap all his worth

To be a man of the earth
The wife and kids are already there
They're polishing his wicker chair it's looking so bleak
At the end of the week he'll be needing a nurse

He'd swap all his worth to be a man of the earth
A man of the earth
Words become the man if only he could write a sonnet
He'd place his life upon it to be a man of the earth

A man of the earth, he'd swap all his worth
To be a man of the earth
A man of the earth

It's not that easy
Never to look back
The years distort the lies
We take for fact
I had a black shirt
But I wasn't one
All my loving is not enough for that
I had a black shirt
But I wasn't one
I had black thoughts
But now they're undone
Thoughts are eaasy
And they're all I have
All my loving is not enough for that
All my loving is not enough for that
How could I think it was ever like this
The truth's the truth but did it ever exist
I tell myself, well never again
Never to look back
'Cos it's never the same
Never to look back
Thoughts are easy,
But they're all I have
Life's not easy
If all you do is fight
The truth is changed by
The memories we have
All my loving is not enough for that
All my loving is not enough for that
How could I think it was ever like this
The truth's the truth but did it ever exist
I tell myself, well never again
Never to look back
'Cos it's never the same
Never to look back

Out of my mind, I can't get you
Out of my mind, I can't get you
I'll tell you somethng, I feel hung over today
I'll tell you something, this head just won't go away

But when you smile, my day gets brighter
And in a while, my head's gone away
Out of my mind, I can't get you
Out of my mind, I can't get you

Let me tell you something, I'm high from talking to you
I'll tell you something, your smell works better than glue
And when you smile, I see the colours
And in a while, there's a world brand new

Out of my mind, out of my mind
Out of my mind, I can't get you
I'll tell you something, I got to see you today
I'll tell you something, nothing can get in our way

And when you smile, I see the sunrise
And in a while, out of things to say
Out of my mind, I can't get you

Your earthquake hit when I was living so peacefully
My mind was busy I had something to do
My world was planned and I was living so tranquilly
You turned me round just like a whirlpool

[Chorus]
Someone like you (makes me dizzy)
Someone like you
Someone like you (drives me crazy)
Someone like you

Your hurricane was blowing like there was no today
I was asleep alone with nothing to do
My roof was raised as I was snoring so comfortably
You shooke me up just like a twister

[Chorus]

Alone at night I lie without any air
Then you arrive and always take me somewhere
What else can you do?

[Chorus]

Alone at night I lie without any air
Then you arrive and always take me somewhere
What else can you do?
Someone like you

You get a taste it ain't enough
To eat your fill you need the stuff
You think you're there about to land
But is the trip just what you planned

You're falling, yes you're falling
For the sweet smell of success
You're gambling like everyone
Who cares who wins you're having fun

And you'll be back another day
You think you'll win next time you play
You're falling, yes you're falling
For the sweet smell of success

You check your hand you're looking good
You see a paath within the wood
She beckons you what can you do
But follow her to somewhere new

You're falling, yes you're falling
You're falling, yes you're falling
For the sweet smell of success

Too many teardrops falling make a final blow
Over the years for love are there any left for now
Just when I need some soothing water
None of my tears are left around
Night and day they take so long
Tears would was the hurting away
CHORUS
Too many teardrops
Too many teardrops
Too many teardrops make a lake where a man can drown
Too many teardrops find their way onto the ground
Just when I thought the sun was shining
Need some more tears there's none around
Night and day they take so long
Tears would wash the huring away
But they're gone, from now on
But they're gone, from now on
CHORUS

Hey man, I like your beard
And I like the way you serve that beer
I like the way your daughter smiles at me
Hey mister, could I have just one more beer

I got two big balls
A cap and a bat
And I play with them all the time
I got a million things I'd rather do

If only you say you'll stay mine
If only you say you'll stay mine
If only you say you'll stay mine
Yea, this is the place where I live

And the place where I love
Hey mamselle, fill me up baby
I like the way you give me gas
Tell me

Who is the man with the double-barrelled gun?
(My daddy)
I think I better move on fast
I got a big black car

A dog and a cat
And I play with them all of the time
I got a million things I'd rather do
If only you say you'll stay mine

If only you say you'll stay mine
If only you say you'll stay mine
Yea, this is the place where I live
And the place where I love

The way the old church spire stabs the clouds
And when the old folks say
I'll have another drink to see me
Through the day, thank you J.J.

Yea, this is the place where I live
And the place where I love
Hey, Mrs. be

Big girl in the red dress
She's just trying to impress us
And she's got the barley fever
But she doesn't make a sound
She's just hanging around
She's just hanging around

Down the court road early
With the Hustlers big and burly
There's a million of 'em selling
And the buyers can be found
They're just hanging around
They're just hanging around

[CHORUS:]
Christ he told his mother
Christ he told her not to bother
Cos he's alright in the city
Cos he's high above the ground
He's just hanging around (hanging around)
He's just hanging around (hanging around)
He's just hanging around (hanging around)
He's just hanging around (hanging around)

One of 'em comes over
Got a monkey on his shoulder
And the monkey's getting grinner
But his eyes are on the ground
He's just hanging around
He's just hanging around

I'm moving to a coleheme
With the leather all around me
And the sweat is getting steamy
But their eyes are on the ground
They're just hanging around
They're just hanging around

[CHORUS 2x]

He's just hanging around (hanging around)
He's just hanging around

Little lady
With Dingwall's bullshit
You're so stupid
Foetid brainwaves
Little lady
What really happens
When you see mirrors
You get the shivers

Ah!

Making love to
The Mersey Tunnel
With a sausage, have you ever been to Liverpool?
Please don't talk much
It burns my ears
Tonight you've talked for a thousand years

Plastic's real when you're real sick
Plastic's real when you're real sick
Plastic's real when you're real sick
Plastic's real when you're real sick
Plastic's real when you're real sick
Plastic's real when you're real sick
Plastic's real when you're real sick
Plastic's real when you're real sick

Tell me what you've got to look so pleased about
Tell me what you've got to look so pleased about

Oh London Lady
Why did you lay me?
Your head is crowded
With the names you've hounded
The lines around your
Eyes they show me
You realize the party's over London Lady
Party's over London Lady

Tell me what you've got to look so pleased about
Tell me what you've got to look so pleased about
