Naughty boys in nasty schools
Headmasters breaking all the rules Having fun and playing fools Smashing up the woodwork tools All the teachers in the pub Passing 'round the ready-rub Trying not to think of when The lunch-time bell will ring again. Oh what fun we had But, did it really turn out bad All I learnt at school Was how to bend not break the rules Oh what fun we had But at the time it seemed so bad Trying different ways To make a difference to the days. Headmaster's had enough to-day All the kids have gone away Gone to fight with next-door's school Every term, that is the rule Sits alone and bends his cane Same old backsides again All the small ones tell tall tales Walking home and squashing snails. Oh what fun we had But, did it really turn out bad All I learnt at school Was how to bend not break the rules Oh what fun we had But at the time it seemed so bad Trying different ways To make a difference to the days. Lots of girls and lots of boys Lots of smells and lots of noise Playing football in the park Kicking Pushbikes after dark Baggy trousers, dirty shirt Pulling hair and eating dirt Teacher comes to break it up Back of the 'ead with a plastic cup. Oh what fun we had But, did it really turn out bad All I learnt at school Was how to bend not break the rules Oh what fun we had But at the time it seemed so bad Trying different ways To make a difference to the days. Baggy trousers, baggy trousers, baggy trousers Baggy trousers, baggy trousers, baggy trousers |

Papers in the morning Bowler hat on head Walking to the bus stop He's longing for his bed Waiting with his neighbours In the rush-hour queue Got to get the first bus So much for him to do He's got to hurry got to get his seat Can't miss his place, got to rest his feet Ten more minutes till he gets there The crossword's nearly done It's getting so hard these days Not nearly so much fun His mind wanders to the office His telephone, desk and chair He's been happy with the company They've treated him real fair Think of seven letters begin and end in 'C' Like a big American car but misspelt with a 'D' I wish this bus'd get a move on Driver's taking his time I just don't know I'll be late Oh dear, what will the boss say? Pull yourself together now Don't get in a state Don't you worry, there's no hurry It's a lovely day Could all be going your way Take the doc's advice Let up, enjoy your life Listen to what they say It's not a game they play Never get there at this rate He's caught up in a jam There's a meeting this morning It's just his luck, oh damn His hand dives in his pocket For his handkerchief Pearls of sweat on his bowler His pulse-beat seems so brief Eyes fall on his wrist-watch, the seconds pass real slow Gasping for the hot air but the chest pain it won't go Tried to ask for help But can't seem to speak a word Words are whispered frantically But don't seem to be heard What about the wife and kids? They all depend on me We're so sorry, we told you not to hurry Now it's just too late You've got a certain date We thought we made it clear We all voiced our inner fears We left it up to you There's nothing we can do |

I cried all night just thinking of you
I wonder now what I'm gonna do Since you left me for that friend of mine Every second is just crying time I cry cause my heart is in pain I cry though I know it's in vain But knowing this I cry all the same I wake at night crying out your name You said that you'd never leave I never listened that you were a tease People talk about me behind my back They don't understand it's the passion they lack People go around and whisper my name They think it's a laugh cause I never complain But to my face they are always the same They don't understand it's a crying shame You always said that you needed me Exactly what for I find it hard to see I've sat up all night wishing you were still mine Now I understand there's better things to do with my time I cried because my heart was in pain I cry though I know it's in vain But knowing this I cry all the same I woke at night crying out your name I cry each night with tears in my eyes I can't believe you are telling me lies People go around whispering my name But don't they know it's a crying shame I cried because my heart was in pain I cry though I know it was in vain But knowing this I cry all the same I woke at night crying out your name |

In the earliest days of my shoplifting career,
You could safely say I was filled with fear. It was nail biting work from the very start, But several quick sucesses soon gave me heart. After a while I could pick or nick or steal, Some shirts some trousers and a few LPs. No-one ever stopped me, they didn't seem to care. It sometimes seemed to me that there was no-one there. Then a fine summers day my mates and me, Set off down the westend on our usual spree. Things were as normal for an hour or so, Then my nimble hands were a bit too slow. Two store detectives made a fast approach, One grabbed my jacket (you're nicked!) The other grabbed my throat. So they caught me at last, one said with joy: |

Received a letter just the other day, Don't seem they wanna know you no more, They've laid it down given you their score, Within the first two lines it bluntly read. You're not to come and see us no more, Keep away from our door, Don't come 'round here no more What on earth did you do that for? Our aunt, she don't wanna to know she says, What will the neighbours think they'll think, We don't that's what they'll think, we don't, But I will, 'cause I know they think I don't. Our uncle he don't wanna to know he says, We are a disgrace to the human race he says, How can you show your face, When you're a disgrace to the human race? No committment, you're an embarrassment, Yes, an embarrassment, a living endorsement, The intention that you have booked, Was an intention that was overlooked. They say, stay away, Don't want you home today, Keep away from our door, Don't come 'round here no more. Our dad, don't wanna to know he says, This is a serious matter, Too late to reconsider, No one's gonna wanna know ya ! Our mum, she don't wanna to know,she says, I'm feelin' twice as old, she says, Thought she had a head on her shoulder, 'Cause I'm feelin' twice as older, I'm feelin' twice as older. You're an embarrassment |

When I get home it's late at night, I'm black and bloody from my life, I haven't time to clean my hands, Cuts will only sting me through my dreams. It's well past midnight as I lie In a semi-conscious state. I dream of people fighting me Without any reason I can see. In the morning I awake, My arms my legs my body aches, The sky outside is wet and grey So begins another weary day. So begins another weary day. After eating I go out, People passing by me shout. I can't stand this agony Why don't they talk to me? In the park I have to rest I lie down and I do my best, The rain is falling on my face I wish I could sink without a trace. In the morning I awake, My arms my legs my body aches, The sky outside is wet and grey, So begins another weary day. So begins another weary day. In the park I have to rest I lie down and I do my best, The rain is falling on my face I wish I could sink without a trace. In the morning I awake, My arms my legs my body aches, The sky outside is wet and grey, So begins another weary day. So begins another weary day. |

There is such confusion in my mind, To play your illusion is so unkind, I didn't know who you were this afternoon, You said that it didn't matter and I'll see you soon. Standing here in the rain, Maybe the weather will change again, Change again or stay the bleeding same. How I met you in the first place I'll never know, But now I think I know you you're telling me to go, ho, ho, You said you'd be back you told me to wait here just in case, But then you never arrive and I'm waiting outside your place. Standing here in the rain, Maybe the weather will change again, Change again or stay the bleeding same. Standing here in the rain, Maybe the weather will change again, Change again or stay the bleeding same.

I don't know what to be
It's not so easy to find out later About the necessary knowledge for survival You think you know enough to get you through life But find out too late of chances passed by An early start is not so important But timing is most essential Opportunity gone is gone forever You never know how much it could have been And once gone, gone forever You will find out to your cost A better use can be made of your time And don't think that life is easy You may never get a lucky break They'll put you down, cold and unknown A total failure from womb to grave |

I didn't wanna go see the film tonight I found it hard to say She thought I'd had enough of her Why can't she see She's lovely to me? But I like to stay in And watch t.v. on my own Every now and then My girl's mad at me Been on the telephoncle for an hour We hardly said a word I tried and tried but I could not be heard Why can't I explain? Why do I feel this pain? 'Cause everything I say She doesn't understand She doesn't realise She takes it all the wrong way My girl's mad at me We argued just the other night I thought we'd got it straight We talked and talked until it was light I thought we'd agreed I thought we'd talked it out Now when I try to speak She says that I don't care She says I'm unaware And now she says I'm weak |

I never thought I'd miss you half as much as I do
And I never thought I'd feel this way the way I feel about you. As soon as I wake up, every night, every day I know that it's you I need to take the blues away. It must be love, love, love. It must be love, love, love. Nothing more nothing less love is the best. How can it be that we can say so much without words. Bless you and bless me, bless the bees and the birds. I've got to be near you, every night, every day I couldn't be happy any other way. It must be love, love, love. It must be love, love, love. Nothing more nothing less love is the best.

It's just gone noon half past monsoon
On the banks of the river Nile Here comes the boat only half-afloat Oarsman grins a toothless smile Only just one more to this desolate shore Last boat along the river Nile Doesn't seem to care, no more wind in his hair As he reaches his last half mile The oar snaps in his hand before he reaches dry land But the sound doesn't deafen his smile Just pokes at wet sand with an oar in his hand Floats off down the river Nile Floats off down the river Nile All aboard, night boat to Cairo Night boat to Cairo |

Hello, Good Evening And Welcome
I've been down the high road towards the crossroads To hear the sound that's buggin' me Catchy little rhythms in music and rhyme It's that nutty sound you see Rhythm As I got nearer I heard it clearer it started to affect my brain It's that nutty rhythm that gets you thinking you're almost going insane I felt the ground shake I had a feeling I was sitting on an old steam train Shaking in me knee bones and me elbows It's driving me around the bend Uncontrollable feelings sends me reeling There's no need to pretend Melody It had me spell bound, span me head round I could feel myself going mad Now I am an addict, I have to hear it Everything else sounds bad |

I loved a girl, but I messed around
Now she's with another, so I found They say better to have loved and lost than not have loved at all Much more than my foolish pride has took a fall They all tell me about mistakes that I have made And I have no doubt my hand was overplayed There's a shadow on my house The windows shed no light Since you've gone I feel so wrong I can't tell day from night All too late I have learnt Burn the candle at both ends and you'll get burnt How could there be a fool such as I To let you walk away out of my life? Sitting here alone, all the days seem the same I don't know how much longer I can stand the pain There's a shadow on my house The windows shed no light Since you've gone I feel so wrong |

I didnt want to,
Leave you behind, But your clothes werent stepping, Into line. Too much self pity, Not enough nitty griity And just when you were looking pretty Pretty boring, pretty drab, out of date, colors bad, You should know it stays the same. No individuals things ever change. But oif its new, its in the past. Everything goes by so fast. Upstaged by the supporting cast. Dont ask the girlfreind to throw it away, It'll be in fashion by next Friday, Hoping our clothes have something say Take It Away! haha... The in vogue clock goes spinning round Space age fasion lifts off the ground Just accept the new faith Try and look common place Instead of looking out of place But cant you see I'm staying still, that rich little bastards made me Ill, Ill, ILL! |

I dedicate that line to Shack from South Central Not sayin I'm the baddest but I know I got potential For every black man hung lyrically I lynch you Your style is kinda dry hope my melody can quench you My soul is one with all although my ego is against you See rap is a raw meat, so now I got to mince you I'm playin rappers out like an old pair of gym shoes I can do anything, I can do anything Crusin down the street in my six-four Impala Is what I'd like to be doin if only I had the dollars A baller ain't a baller if he ain't got balls A scholar ain't a scholar if he ain't got scho-lastic Education, and if not that, then learn from life Beyond all of the material crap A human ain't a human if he doesn't make mistakes And the name of this song is Swan Lake A planet ain't a planet if it don't have wars A battle ain't a battle if you don't catch scars A mind that ain't inquisitive really doesn't got Shit to live for if you can't explore the Realms of thought you ought not test lest You be chomped up, like a pop rock, stopped for a Bead from the weed lady, thought it was the bomb Really wasn't nuttin but a bag of strong palms Lost twenty dollars, didn't get high Maybe next time I use my finances right Live another day, learn another lesson Ain't no need to get my mental status cold stressin That it's so ill that it's fo'-real that it's No skill displayed, de shades gone now So it's time to build my own umbrella Tell it tell her hella mellow fellows loungin Better bread I never fled a header of the sounds and All I wanna do is run my own universe Grab the mic and let my spirit just FLOCK when I croon a verse Mind over matter, spirit over mind A doobie and a skin funky breakbeats and rhymes A true blue homey to the end reminiscin with your Sister in the living room gin A life with a plan nine acres on a land Building self by yourself helpin out a fellow man Prepare for the essence when your inner soul's free Before the departure plantin of the right seed I think what everybody's strivin for is peace of mind I'm thinkin the world is full of inner places that are out there to find Manipulated minds need to make an escape And the name of this song is Swan Lake Manipulated minds need to make an escape And the name of this song is Swan Lake |

Whoa oh
Staggering home everybody sings All the old songs the cockney routines All the old women, all the young men Try changing places then back again Old man in the morning, Young man at night Breakfast full of wisdom Until you hit the lights Knock back the drinks , hitch up your skirt Fall over backwords undo your shirt Everyone shouting what a terrible state Age creeping backwards as it gets late Old man in the morning, Young man at night Breakfast full of wisdom Until you hit the lights Have a quick short, forget about work Have a couple more then you go beserk Who cares about this morning, wise old man The wisdom comes up later and goes down the pan Old man in the morning, Young man at night Breakfast full of wisdom Until you hit the lights Then another round, forget whos turn Waking up to feel your stomach churn Whos in the chair and whos on the floor Incoherants knocking on the door Old man in the morning, Young man at night Breakfast full of wisdom Until you hit the lights Hit the lights |

A straw headed woman, and a barrel chested man
A pocket full of posies with a hat brim full of sand (Ooh ooh) waiting for the train that never comes A dog chasing the tumbleweeds, across the sandy floor That drift along the platform, through the ticket office door (Ooh ooh) waiting for the train that never comes (Ooh ooh ooh ooh) waiting for the train that never comes But don't tell me there's nothing coming, you don't fool me I hear the ghost train rumbling along the tracks - set them free And I hear them It's black and white, don't try to hide [x2] The station master's writing with a piece of orange chalk A hundred cancellations, still no one wants to walk Keep the hungry children from the skeleton in the back Paid to keep an eye out for the gipsy caravan (Ooh ooh) waiting for the train that never comes (Ooh ooh ooh ooh) waiting for the train that never comes I hear the ghost train rumbling along the tracks - set them free And I hear them It's black and white, don't try to hide [x4] It's black and white (don't try) [x2] It's black and white, don't try to hide [x2] And I hear them It's black and white, don't try to hide [x2] |

I have a feeling for you son
I know you think the battle's lost And that your thoughts are on the run And you'll never meet the cost I have a feeling for you girl And though you're walking in a storm Alone you may be cold But together we'll be warm And now the room is empty And now the phone is cold And as the hours are passing So the day grows old And as the light is fading Don't breathe another sigh And if you think of calling Don't let me pass you by Tomorrow there will be no rain Tomorrow there'll be no more pain Tomorrow if you feel the same Call me [x2] Here's to everybody torn up by friends Here's to the evenings that never ever end Here's to all the things we wished we'd never done Here's to the summers with no sun Here's to all the tramps, the beggars and the rich Here's to the fishers with no fish Here's to all the faces with no names All the passengers on this train Tomorrow there will be no rain Tomorrow there'll be no more pain Tomorrow if you feel the same Call me (Won't you) call me I have a feeling in my bones That I've been this way before And if I'm ever here again Washed up outside your door Call me [x6] |

I've been driving in my car, it's not quite a Jaguar I bought it in Primrose Hill from a bloke from Brazil It was made in fifty-nine in a factory by the Tyne It says Morris on the door, the G.P.O. owned it before I drive in it for my job, the governor calls me a slob But I don't really care, give me some gas and the open air It's a bit old but it's mine, I mend it in my spare time Just last week I changed the oil, the rocker valves and the coil Just last week I changed the oil Last week it went round the clock, I also had a little knock I dented somebody's fender, he learnt not to park on a bender, ha ha ha I've been driving in my car, it don't look much but I've been far I drive up to Muswell Hill, I've even been to Selsey Bill I drove along the A45, I had her up to 58 This copper stopped me the other day, you're mistaken what could I say The tyres were a little worn, they were O.K., I could have sworn I like driving in my car, I'm satisfied I've got this far I like driving in my car, it don't look much but I've been far I like driving in my car, even with a flat tyre I like driving in my car, it's not quite a Jaguar I like driving in my car, I'm satisfied I've got this far |

I've saved a little bit of money from christmas gone,
What with my birthday nearly due, I'm dressing up as guy in the shopping arcade, Have you a penny for a boy named blue ? I've seen it advertised on tv shows, Flashed up on the evening news, My local m.p. said I should grin and bear it, But I'd rather go and blow her fuse, Right on, right off! Right off, right on. Right on, right off! Right off, right on. Let me tell you a little tale of naughty's, On the estate I used to loathe, I aimed 30 rockets at a shilling each, You should have seen their front door's go, Right on, right off! Right off, right on. Right on, right off! Right off, right on. Let it talk cb Fireball xl sitting in the window, Just waiting for a match to come, You're looking so so sad in your pretty coloured frock, Don't let that make up on your eye balls run. I got my little lot of money from a cherished friend, His name was piggy but he wasn't to know, He hit my god-damn hammer like a wall of bricks, You should have seen his pig tail go, Right on, right off! Right off, right on. Right on, right off! Right off, right on. Fireball xl propped up at my window, Wondering what on earth it's to do! Now that it's gone from the window of the shopping arcade, Everybody's looking for a boy named blue. Blue who Blue who Blue who Blue who Quack, quack, quack, quack. Oink, oink, oink, oink. Woof, woof, woof, woof. Bridit, bridit, bridit, bridit. Albert, albert. Don't call us we'll call you. |

I read a brand new paper
Bout man who had a thousand guns Lived in the Southern States Ran away from everyone Felt it wasn't safe Even in the Southern States I read a brand new paper Walking down my own street Man with a thousand guns Has taken to his feet He felt it wasn't safe Even in the Southern States He thought that he might die But was he frightened by Anyone with a gun? Well, every stranger's danger Everybody has one But alone and hungry He couldn't eat his guns I watched my television Sitting on the floor The window man was watching Me and a million more He read me the news Someone's getting abused He thought that we might die He wasn't frightened why Everyone has a bomb It's a passing danger Or so he said Everybody has one Care to see or just wait (That's just great) |

This is Suggs, and now I am going to take it away OK, lads, get closer together And all this time I'll be waiting up by the chimney stack On this coldest year since brr, up up up above a reindeer's back OK, quiet everybody. You should come on here Er, hit me with those backing vocals, yeah Ooh Ooh "You'll never take me alive, copper" "Look, reindeer, don't be silly, just settle down" "I'm gonna get that coney to ma" "We've got you on six counts of disturbing the peace" "Shove it, copper, I'll stick a grapefruit in your face" "We're gonna keep singing " "You are so..You are so...out of a job! Now come on down here" "Nothings going to stop us singing, copper, even if I have gotta come down that chimney myself and Stick it in your face" "I'm going to send in the troops if you don't come down here"" "We're going to keep singing in every home in the nation" "Do whatever you want to do. Do what you...fuck! That's it! "You stupid flatfoot, you'll never take me alive. I'm on top of the world Ma Top of the world Ma-Ma?" Get those stickers on you know...Chris, quieten down over there, will you, I'm trying to get a Message across, you know I'm going to change the world overnight, yeah Thank you Thank you |

I didn't wanna go see the film tonight I found it hard to say She thought I'd had enough of her Why can't she see She's lovely to me? But I like to stay in And watch t.v. on my own Every now and then My girl's mad at me Been on the telephoncle for an hour We hardly said a word I tried and tried but I could not be heard Why can't I explain? Why do I feel this pain? 'Cause everything I say She doesn't understand She doesn't realise She takes it all the wrong way My girl's mad at me We argued just the other night I thought we'd got it straight We talked and talked until it was light I thought we'd agreed I thought we'd talked it out Now when I try to speak She says that I don't care She says I'm unaware And now she says I'm weak |

Arlington house, address: no fixed abode An old man in a three-piece suit sits in the road He stares across the water, he sees right through the lock But on and up like outstretched hands His mumbled words, his fumbled words, mock Further down, a photo booth, a million plastic bags And an old woman filling out a million baggage tags But when she gets thrown out, three bags at a time She spies the old chap in the road to share her bags with She has bags of time Surrounded by his past, on a short white line He sits while cars pass either side, takes his time Trying to remember one better day A while ago when people stopped to hear him say Walking round you sometimes hear the sunshine Beating down in time with the rhythm of your shoes Now she has walked enough through rainy town She rests her bag against his and sits down She's trying to remember one better day A while ago when people stopped to hear her say Walking round you sometimes hear the sunshine Beating down in time with the rhythm of your shoes Walking round you sometimes hear the sunshine Beating down in time with the rhythm of your shoes The feeling of arriving when you've nothing left to lose Walking round you sometimes hear the sunshine Beating down in time with the rhythm of your shoes The feeling of arriving when you've nothing left to lose |

Reaching up to press my best friend's bell
On my tiptoes Whatever made me climb this side of hell Oh, God only knows Lifting up another catch and slipping through the blind It's... it's so easy Lighting up another match to see what I can find It's... become so easy But after a while You can hear yourself breathe What seems a long long while You can feel yourself sealed Ones second thoughtlessness Nobody's home One's second thoughtlessness One's second thoughtlessness Here up on my own One's second thoughtlessness Sniffing around Hope to get out Smelling a scent That something is up I've seen this song before Is this the house my family lives - yes Ah, I've been here before Yes, I did it because, because Yes, I did it because Yes, I did it because, because Yes, yes, I did it because, because No - because One's second thoughtlessness I am my own One's second thoughtlessness One's second thoughtlessness I stand alone One's second thoughtlessness |

I used to walk you home Then walk back alone As I remember I just can't remember [x2] I will admit that there were times When I was rude and so unkind But can't we kiss and make amends Oh why oh why can't we be friends When we were seen It was like a dream Always together I thought forever But now you see That it's time to end But I say never N-n-n-no never But when we kissed and when we touched It used to mean so very much But now you're cold and want to go Before you do, I want you to know Please don't go Please don't go because I really know That I love you, I really love you I used to walk you home, then walk back alone As I remember, I just can't remember But when we kissed and when we touched It used to mean so very much But now you're cold and want to go Before you do, I want you to know Please don't go because I really know That I love you I really love you [x3] (Please don't go...love you) |

Buster, he sold the heat with a rock-steady beat
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey you, Don't watch that, watch this Whoa, what?

Sixteen today and up for fun I'm a big boy now or so they say so If you'll serve me I'll be on my way Box of balloons, with the feather-light touch Pack of party poppers, that pop in the night A toothbrush and hairspray, plastic grin Mrs Clay on the corner has just walked in Welcome to the house of fun now I've come of age Welcome to the house of fun Welcome to the lion's den, temptation's on it's way Welcome to the house of... Naughty boys in nasty schools, headmasters breaking all the rules Having fun and playing fools, smashing up the woodwork tools All the teachers in the pub, passing 'round the ready-rub Trying not to think of when the lunch-time bell will ring again Oh what fun we had but did it really turn out bad All I learnt at school was how to bend not break the rules Oh what fun we had but at the time it seemed so bad Trying different ways to make a difference to the days Baggy trousers, baggy trousers, baggy trousers Baggy trousers, baggy trousers, baggy trousers One step beyond Waiter Our house, in the middle of our street Our house, in the middle of our street Blue train taking me from you Take time for your pleasure and laugh with love Take the hand of another and sing for the wings of a dove Whoa, whoa, for the wings of a dove Whoa, whoa, for the wings of a... My girl's mad at me, I didn't wanna see the film tonight I found it hard to say, she thought I'd had enough of her I tell you I didn't do it, 'cause I wasn't there Don't blame me, it just isn't fair You listen to their side now listen to mine Can't think of a story, sure you'll find me sometime Now pass the blame and don't blame me Just close your eyes and count to three (One two three) Then I'll be gone and you'll forget The broken window, TV set Received a letter just the other day Don't seem they wanna know you no more They've laid it down given you their score Within the first two lines it bluntly read You're not to come and see us no more Keep away from our door, don't come 'round here no more What on Earth did you do that for? My name is Michael Caine What? My name is Michael Caine In the morning I awake My arms, my legs, my body aches The sky outside is wet and grey So begins another weary day So begins another weary day Tomorrow's just another day, just another day, just another day Tomorrow's just another day I think we got it there, don't you? It must get better in the long run, has to get better in the long run I think we got it there, don't you? |

Now I see tears you can't hide
Carry the world on your back Heavy weights tear you apart Now I see tears you can't hide Feel in a rage can't speak up for yourself All that you try to do it's no good anyway Now I see tears you can't hide No use saying it's a crime Voices surround me but they lie, lie Hold out your hand together make your stand You may be alone you may feel scared inside Now I see tears you can't hide No use saying it's a crime Voices surround me but they lie, lie (Just hit me with your saxophone, Lee) Now I see tears you can't hide Now I see tears you can't hide Now I see tears you can't Tears you can't tears you can't hide |

It's raining again,
I'm hearing its pitter patter down. It's wet in the street Reflecting the lights and splashing feet, Nowhere to go, And nothing I have to do, have to do. It's raining again, I follow the Christmas lights down town. I'm leaving the flow Of people walking all around, Round and round, I hear the sound of rain falling in my ears Washing away the weariness like tears. I can feel my troubles running down, Disappear into the silent sound. Just walking along, My clothes are soaked right through to the skin, I haven't a doubt, that this is what life is all about, The sun and the rain. Scraps of paper(???) washing down the drain. I feel the rain falling on my face I can say there is no better place Than standing up in the falling down In so much rain I could almost drown. It's raining again A crack in the clouds reveals blue skies I've been feeling so low(low) But now everything is on my side The sun and the rain. Walk with me fill my heart again I hear the rain falling in my ears Washing away the weariness like tears. I can feel my troubles running down, Disappear into the silent sound. I feel the rain falling on my face I can say there is no better place Than standing up in the falling down In so much rain I could almost drown. Do de do do de do do do Do de do de do de do do do |

I hear them saying Tomorrow's just another day I hear them saying And it gets better every day I hear them saying Tomorrow's just another day Listened long, tried to take it in All these facts leave me in the swim It's down and down there is no up I think that I've run out of luck. I hear them saying Tomorrow's just another day I hear them saying And it gets better every day I hear them saying Tomorrow's just another day Tomorrow's just another... day Walking now, over covered ground There is a chance if I move around I need a moment to reflect On the friendships I have wrecked.

that things are changing for the better You're trying to see if what you're teaching is the truth sir You're looking and listening and hoping that things will change for better Don't want to preach or teach the blues to you now brother I just left Victoria Gardens And walked through cardboard city land A burnt out star was asking How would I like to shake his hand I walked on in no hurry (hurry hurry hurry) And wondered where did we go wrong? We're looking and listening and hoping that things are changing for the better Don't want to preach or teach the blues to you now brother I walked on in no hurry (hurry hurry hurry) And wondered where did we go wrong? Looking listening hoping that things are changing for the better (Only time can tell) It's a bloody fine situation That we find ourselves in He said something I couldn't mention (here) And we laughed with him again I walked on in no hurry (hurry hurry hurry) And wondered where did we go wrong? Looking listening hoping that things are changing for the better And trying to see if what you're teaching is the truth sir She said it's for the good of us all (of us all, of us all, of us all) Looking listening hoping that things are changing for the better Don't want to preach or teach the blues to you now brother I'm not so sure (sure, sure, sure) And now it is early evening I look across grey Leicester Square A large and silent crowd were walking Said they had every right to be there |

I met her in a club down in Old Soho
Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like cherry-cola See-o-l-a cola She walked up to me and she asked me to dance I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said, Lola L-o-l-a Lola la-la-la-la Lola Well, I'm not the world's most physical guy But when she squeezed me tight, she nearly broke my spine Oh my Lola L-o-l-a Lola And I'm not dumb but I can't understand Why she walks like a woman and talks like a man Lola L-o-l-a Lola la-la-la-la Lola We drank champagne and danced all night Under electric candlelight She picked me up and sat me on her knee And said, "little boy, won't you come home with me" Well, I'm not the world's most passionate guy But when I looked in her eyes I almost fell for my Lola L-o-l-a Lola la-la-la-la Lola Lola L-o-l-a Lola la-la-la-la Lola I pushed her away I walked to the door I fell to the floor I got down on my knees Then I looked at her and she at me Well, that's the way that I wanted to stay And I always want it to be that way for my Lola Lo-la Lola Girls will be boys and boys will be girls It's a mixed up, muddled up, shooked up world except for Lola Lo-la la-la-la-la Lola Well, I left home just a week ago And I'd never kissed a woman before But Lola smiled and took me by the hand And said little boy I'm gonna make you a man Well, I'm not the world's most masculine man But I know what I am, I'm glad I'm man And so is Lola |

Listen to the pouring rain Listen to it pour And with every drop of rain You know I love you more Let it rain all night long Let my love for you go strong As long as we`re together Who cares about the weather? Listen to the falling rain Listen to it fall And with every drop of rain I can hear you call Call my name right out loud I can here above the clouds And I`m here among the puddles You and I together huddle. Listen to the falling rain Listen to it rain. ...

Why should you try to be much taller than you are
Why do you try to hang a little out so far You say you're right, when you are wrong And though you're weak, you believe you're strong Why should you try to be much taller than you are You are always, telling people you are the best But it's not so, when they put you to the test So come on, let's be fair and square Take what is yours, but please leave my share Why should you try to be much taller than you are O-oh! You will never reach the top like that, my friend And though you think your up, you will fall down, in the end It is time for you to realise And try and be your little size Why should you try to be much taller than you are [x3] |
