It was an early morning yesterday I was up before the dawn And I really have enjoyed my stay But I must be moving on Like a king without a castle Like a queen without a throne I'm an early morning lover And I must be moving on Now I believe in what you say Is the undisputed truth But I have to have things my own way To keep me in my youth Like a ship without an achor Like a slave without a chain Just the thought of those sweet ladies Sends a shiver through my veins And I will go on shining Shining like brand new I'll never look behind me My troubles will be few Goodbye stranger, it's been nice Hope you find your paradise Tried to see your point of view Hope your dreams will all come true Goodbye Mary, Goodbye Jane Will we ever meet again Feel no sorrow, feel no shame Come tomorrow, feel no pain Now some they do and some they don't And some you just can't tell And some they will and some they won't With some it's just as well You can laugh at my behavior That'll never bother me Say the devil is my savior But I don't pay no heed And I will go on shining Shining like brand new I'll never look behind me My troubles will be few Goodbye stranger, it's been nice Hope you find your paradise Tried to see your point of view Hope your dreams will all come true Goodbye Mary, Goodbye Jane Will we ever meet again Feel no sorrow, feel no shame Come tomorrow, feel no pain |

When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful,
A miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical. And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily, Joyfully, playfully watching me. But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible, Logical, responsible, practical. And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable, Clinical, intellectual, cynical. There are times when all the world's asleep, The questions run too deep For such a simple man. Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned I know it sounds absurd But please tell me who I am. Now watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical, Liberal, fanatical, criminal. Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're Acceptable, respectable, presentable, a vegetable! At night, when all the world's asleep, The questions run so deep For such a simple man. Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned I know it sounds absurd But please tell me who I am. |

I've been locked out
I've been locked in But I always seem to come back again When you're in that room What do you do? I know that I will have you in the end And the clouds they are crying on you And the birds are offering up their tunes In a shack as remote as a mansion You escape into a place where nothing moves I've been locked out And I know we're through But I can't begin to face up to the truth I waited so long for the walls to crack But I know that I will one day have you back And the hills are as soft as a pillow And they cast a shadow on my bed And the view when I look through my window Is an altarpiece I'm praying to for the living and the dead Twin valley shines in the morning sun I send a message out to my only one And I've been locked out and I know we're through But I can't begin to face up to the truth I waited so long for the walls to crack But I know that I will one day have you back And I work with the bees and the honey And every night I circle like the moon And it's a act of simple devotion But it can take forever when you've got something to prove I've been locked out |

I went back my home town
To the school and walked around And the way it felt Seemed just like yesterday From the cradle to the grave Some say we never change No matter how we try We try to rearrange And like father so like son It's as if wife we're both as one Just as if our fate was... it was pre-ordained In some countries far from here You know the one's we used to fear Are they waiting to return to Those old evil ways You can take a correspondence course Be single, married or divorced You can psychoanalyze your brain But you know some things will never change And what will all those people do When Russia starts anew They'll just stand in line All under a different name You can listen to those brainwash tapes Take a Jewish, Catholic, Buddhist faith But I'm sure it's gonna be in vain 'Cos you know some things will never change And if their theories all come true Then there's nothin' we can do Where the future lies Well it's not to hard to tell But after all is said and done And the world lives as one You can bid those old taboo's A fond fare well Yes a long fare well A very long fare well |

When you come across the sea
Me like a beacon guiding you to safety The sooner the better now And when you come the hills Will breathe like a baby Pulled up heaving from the bottom of the ocean The sooner the better now When you come to cover me with your kisses Fresh like a daisy chained up in a lion's den I'll know you by the thunderclap Pouring like rain of blood to my emotions Chorus: And that is why I stumble to my knees And why underneath the heavens With the stars burning and exploding I know I could never let you down When you come like an iceberg float in darkness Smashing my hull send me to the bottom of the sea I should know you better now When you come your majesty to entrap me Prince of light receding The sooner the better now And when you come to cover me With your kisses hard like armour The sooner the better now I'll know you by the thunderclap Pouring like a rain of blood to my emotions (chorus) She came out of the water Into my horizon Like a cumulo nimbus Coming in from a distance Burning and exploding Burning and exploding Like a slow volcano When you come Cover the ground with ashes When you come |

Don't stand around
Like friends at a funeral Eyes to the ground It could've been you And why do you weep For the passing of ages? You slip with the back of your hand, you're taking it out on the one you love I couldn't believe it And we might still survive And rise up through the maze If you could change your life And never be the same How long must I wait For you to release me? I pay for each mistake While you suffer in silence I could still have an easy life But the lie ain't worth the living Once more will I hear you say That we might still survive And rise up through the maze If you could change your life And never be the same Never be the same Don't stand around Like friends at a funeral Eyes to the ground Don't suffer in silence 'Cause we might still survive And rise up through the maze If you could change your life And never be the same (And every time I hear you) Never be the same (And every time I mess up) Never be the same Never be the same Never be the same And every time I hear you And every time I mess up Never be, never be, never be, never be the same |

Seal my fate
I get your tongue in the mail No one is wise Until they see how it lies Love this life Don't wait 'til the next one comes Gonna pedal my faith The wheels are still turning round, turn round And maybe the day will come When you'll never have to feel no pain After all my complaining Gonna love this life, gonna love this life Love this life, love this life And so they threw you in jail Whatever you've done It was a million to one And don't you just love this life When it's holding you down? Gonna pedal my faith The wheels are still turning round, turn round So maybe the day will come When you'll never have to feel no pain After all my complaining Gonna love this life, gonna love this life Gonna love this life, gonna love this life Gonna love Here's something that you can do Even if you think that I hate you Stop your complaining Leave me defenseless When you love this life, gonna love this life Gonna love this life, though you'll never know why Gonna love this life, gonna love |

Now, you're heading down to get someone
Should've done what he had to do years ago The position is coming through All the people that you're standing on All the people that you're standing on Now, you're heading down to be someone Someone that you've seen in a magazine Your premonition is coming true Oh, baby, you're not so green No, baby, you're not so green No, baby, you're nutso CHORUS Sister madly waking up the dead Systematically stepping on my head 'Cause sister madly waking up the dead Systematically stepping on my head Now, you're heading down to find something Something that you buried in your backyard The position is coming through From all the dirt that you're digging up From all the dirt that you're digging up Now, you're heading down to be somewhere Somewhere you imagined in your wildest dream The opposition is coming through From all the people that you're standing on From all the people that you're standing on And now, you'd better take a firm hand CHORUS Now, you're heading down to get someone Someone that you should've had years ago The position is coming through All the people that you're standing on All the people that you're standing on You're hard to get a hand on CHORUS |

Oh, Hell, trouble is coming
Out here in panic and alarm Black shapes gather in the distance Looks like it won't take long The first drops land on the window The first sign that there's something wrong Light rain and a head full of thunder Which way, which way Two days 'til I get to you I'll be late if I ever get through Where I go there'll be no kind welcome Coming down upon me Time will keep me warm, feel my face Now, the insects swarm in the lowlands (lowlands) Fear will take the place of desire And we will fan the flames on high Try for Heaven's sake The sky fell underneath a blanket The Sun sank as the miles went by Sit back with your head on the pillow When you remember it makes you cry Ghost cars on the freeway Like friends that you thought you had One by one, they're disappearing Time will keep me warm, feel my face Now, the insects swarm in the lowlands (lowlands) Fear will take the place of desire And we will fan the flames on high From on higher |

Somewhere deep inside something's got a hold on you
And it's pushin' me aside So you'd stretch on forever. Chorus: And I know I'm right For the first time in my life. That's why I'll tell you You better be home soon. Strippin' back the cause of lies and deception, Back to nothingness Like a week in the desert. Chorus Don't say no. Don't say nothin' wrong. When you get back home, Maybe I'll be gone. Go-o-one.. It would cause me pain if we were to end it But I could start again. You can depend on it. Chorus That's why I'll tell you. You better be home soon. |

Not everyone in New York would pay to see Andrew Lloyd Webber
May his trousers fall down as he bows to the queen and the crown I don't know what tune that the orchestra played But it went by me sickly and sentimental Can I have another piece of chocolate cake? Tammy Baker's got a lot on her plate Can I buy another cheap Picasso fake? Andy Warhol must be laughing in his grave The band of the night take you to ethereal heights over dinner And you wander the streets never reaching the heights that you seek And the sugar that dripped from the violins' bow Made the children go crazy, put a hole in the tooth of a hag Can I have another piece of chocolate cake? Tammy Baker must be losing her faith, yeah Can I buy another cheap Picasso fake? Andy Warhol must be laughing in his grave And the dogs are on the road, we're all tempting fate Cars shooting by with no number plates And hear comes Mrs. Hairy Legs I saw Elvis Presley walk out of a Seven Eleven And a woman gave birth to a baby and then bowled 257 The excess of fat on your American bones Will cushion the impact as you sink like a stone Can I have another piece of chocolate cake? Tammy Baker, Tammy Baker Can I buy another cheap Picasso fake? Cheap Picasso, cheap Picasso fake Can I have another piece of chocolate cake? Kathy Straker, boy, could she lose some weight Can I buy another slice of real estate? Liberace must be laughing in his grave Can I have another piece of chocolate cake? Can I have another piece of chocolate cake? Can I have another piece of chocolate cake? Can I have another piece of chocolate cake? |

Ice will melt, water will boil
You and I can shake off this mortal coil It's bigger than us You don't have to worry about it Ready or not, here comes the drop You feel lucky when you know where you are Y'know, it's gonna come true Here in your arms, I remember It's only natural That I should want to be there with you It's only natural That you should feel the same way, too It's easy when you don't try going on first impressions Man in a cage has made his confession Now, you've seen me at my worst And it won't be the last time I'm down there I want you to know I feel completely at ease Read me like a book That's fallen down between your knees Please, let me have my way with you It's only natural That I should want to be there with you It's only natural That you should feel the same way, too It's circumstantial It's nothing written in the sky And we don't even have to try But we'll be shaking like mud Buildings of glass Sink into the bay They'll be under the rocks again You don't have to say I know you're afraid It's only natural That I should want to be there with you It's only natural That you should feel the same way, too It's circumstantial It's something I was born to It's only natural Can I help it if I want to? |

I'm really close tonight
And I feel like I'm moving inside her Lying in the dark I think that I'm beginning to know her Let it go I'll be there when you call Whenever I fall at your feet And you let your tears rain down on me Whenever I touch your slow turning pain You're hiding from me now There's something in the way that you're talking The words don't sound right But I hear them all moving inside you Go, I'll be waiting when you call Whenever I fall at your feet And you let your tears rain down on me Whenever I touch your slow turning pain The finger of blame has turned upon itself And I'm more than willing to offer myself Do you want my presence or need my help Who knows where that might lead I fall at your feet And you let your tears rain down on me Whenever I fall |

Stormy Weather at 57 Mt. Pleasant St. Now it's the same room but everything's different You can fight the sleep but not the dream Things ain't cookin' in my kitchen Strange affliction wash over me Julius Caesar and the Roman Empire Couldn't conquer the blue sky There's a small boat made of china Going nowhere on the mantlepiece Do I lie like a loungeroom lizard Or do I sing like a bird released Everywhere you go you always take the weather with you |

Dull, dull grey
The colour of our times Cool, cool space That I still hope to find Far beyond the veil The sound of whispers and moans Slow, time bomb The clamour of the street I hear this town It never goes to sleep And I will catch the taxi driver Weeping like a wounded beast Then I wake up in your room To share one piece of your life When tomorrow comes we may not be here at all Without your whispers and moans cos here you come to carry me home Here you come to carry me home Love that sound Time erase Tension wheels Cool heels Wont ya come on open the bid fore too long Then I wake up in your room To share one piece of your life Id give anything to be a fly upon the wall And hear your whispers and moans Id like to hear your whispers and moans Here you come to carry me We are the mirrors Are the mirrors of each other in a lifetime of suspicion Cleansed in a moment of recognition You gave your life for it Worth its weight in gold And growing empires and art collectors And alans sound investments Will one day be forgotten One day be forgotten, yeah. |

Four Seasons In One Day - Crowded House
Four seasons in one day Lying in the depths of your imagination Worlds above and worlds below The sun shines on the black clouds Hanging over the domain Even when you're feeling warm The temperature could drop away Like four seasons in one day Smiling as the shit comes down You can tell a man from what he has to say Everything gets turned around And I will risk my neck again You can take me where you will Up the creek and through the mill Like all the things you can't explain Four seasons in one day Blood dries up Like rain, like rain Fills my cup Like four seasons in one day It doesn't pay to make predictions Sleeping on an unmade bed Finding out wherever there is comfort There is pain Only one step away Like four seasons in one day Blood dries up Like rain, like rain Fills my cup Like four seasons in one day |

Break the skin when you break the fall I'll be the one to fix it up Love children of the new age Just a hippy with a weekly wage There's no rebellion just a chance to be lazy CHORUS When fame is in your blood You follow the science of love Wave the magic wand And hang on The rest of us are living in a daze Keep thinkin' 'bout the choice to be made Here come the handmaidens of end time Lost treasure from a primitive race All the lives written on your face Can't fill the canyons of your mind Chorus Now you've changed and jumbled the pieces You've changed but you were better off before You talked to a roomful of strangers Here come the handmaidens of end time Chorus And all of your spells will break And all of your stars will fall So look out for number one Fame is in your blood |

Lying in the garden singing Right where she'll always be The door is always open This is the place that I loved her And these are the friends that she had Long may the mountain ring To the sound of her laughter And she goes on and on In her soft wind I will whisper In her warm sun I will glisten 'Till we see her once again In a world without end We owe it all to Frank Sinatra The song was playing a she walked into the room After the long weekend They were a lifetime together Appearing in the eyes of children In the clear blue mountain view The colouring in the sky And painting ladders to heaven And she goes on In her soft wind I will whisper In her warm sun I will glisten 'Till we see her once again In a world without end In her soft wind I will whisper In her warm sun I will glisten And I always will remember In a world without end She goes on She goes on She goes on |

Escape is on your mind again
Escape to a far away land At times it seems there is no end To long, hard nights of drinking How will you go? How will you go? Drive through the wind and the rain Cover it up Cover it up I'll find you a shelter to sleep in I fell over on the couch again But you know not all sleep is wasted The dreams are alcohol inspired I can't find a better way to face it How will you go? How will you go? Drive through the wind and the rain Cover it up Cover it up I'll find you a shelter to sleep in And you know I'll be fine Just don't ask me how it's going Gimme time, gimme time 'Cause I want you to see 'Round the world, 'round the world Is a tangled up necklace of pearls How will you go? How will you go? Drive through the wind and the rain Cover it up Cover it up I'll find you a shelter to sleep in How will you go? How will you go? Drive through the wind and the rain Cover it up Cover it up I'll find you a shelter to sleep in |

I was standing on a wave, then I made the drop
I was lying in a cave in the solid rock I was feeling pretty brave 'til the lights went off Sleep by no means comes too soon In a valley lit by the moon We left a little dust on his Persian rug We gathered up our clothes, got the washing done In a long forgotten place, who'll be the first to run? Sleep by no means comes too soon In a valley lit by the moon I was floating on a wave, then I made the drop I was climbing up the walls, Waiting for the band to start You can say the magic words I've got my senses on and this is the only place that I always run from Sleep by no means comes too soon In a valley lit by the moon.. |

Beneath a sky as black as coal It's just the fear of losing control You know so well Don't miss it when the moment comes Be submissive just this once Imagine there is something to be done Some truth to tell I would love To trouble you in your time of need Lose your way It's a pleasure when you're in my command Juggle like a diplomat Struggle to hold onto your hat Swinging like an acrobat But time will tell The clock is dripping on the wall Listen to the rise and fall Close your eyes and hear the call you know so well Put on your wings You're responsible for everything Desolate in anger and safe in isolation You're about to be the victim of a holy visitation By the rites that I've been given Put on your wings You're not responsible for everything I would love To trouble you in your time of need Lose your way It's a pleasure when you're in my command When you're in my command In my command |

You crawl through the window Skip across the floor and into the reception room You enter the place of endless persuasion Like a knock on the door When there's ten or more things to do Who is that calling? You my companion Run to the water on a burning beach And it brings me relief Pass through the walls To find my intentions Circle 'round in a strange, hypnotic state I look into space There is no connection A million points of light And a conversation I can't face Cast me off one day To lose my inhibition Sit like a lap dog on the edge of his knee Wear the nails on your feet I woke up the house Stumbled in sideways The lights went on and everybody screamed ""Surprise!"" The savage review It left me gasping But it warms my heart to see that you can do it too Total surrender Your touch is so tender Your skin is like water on a burning beach And it brings me relief, it brings me relief, it brings me relief Like a night in your mind It brings me relief In the back door Under the stars And the scenery is my flaw In the back room Under the stars And the scenery is my flaw |

An itch to sensitive to scratch The light that falls through the cracks An insect to delicate to catch I hear the endless murmur Every blade of grass that shivers in the breeze And the sound that comes to carry me Across the land and over the sea And I can't look up Fingers of love move down And I can't look back Fingers of love move down Colour is its own reward Colour is its own reward The chiming of a perfect chord Let's go jumping overboard Into waves of joy and clarity Your hands come out to rescue me And I'm playing in the shallow water Laughing while the mad dog sleeps And I can't look up Fingers of love move down And I won't be hit Fingers of love move everywhere There is time yet Fall by the way From the cradle to the grave From a palace to the gutter From beneath the dying waves To the sun like fingers of love Through waves of joy and clarity A fallen angel walked on the sea And I'm playing in the shallow water Laughing while the mad dog sleeps And I can't look up Fingers of love move down And I won't be hit Fingers of love move everywhere There is time yet For you to find me And all I want Fingers of love move down. |

I've been locked out I've been locked in but I always seem to come back again when you're in that room what do you do? I know that I will have you in the end And the clouds they're crying on you and the birds are offering up their tunes in a shack as remote as a mansion you escape into a place where nothing moves And I've been locked out and I know we're through but I can't begin to face up to the truth I wait so long for the walls to crack but I know that I will one day have you back And the hills are as soft as a pillow and they cast a shadow on my bed and the view when I look through my window is an altarpiece I'm praying to for the living and the dead Twin valleys shine in the morning sun I send a message out to my only one Yet I've been locked out and I know we're through but I can't begin to face up to the truth I wait so long for the walls to crack but I know that I will one day have you back (yes, I will) And I work like bees in the honey every night I circle like the moon it's an act of simple devotion but it can take forever when you've got something to prove I've been locked out.... |

No time, no place to talk about the weather the promise of love is hard to ignore who said the chance wasn't getting any better the labor of love is ours to endure the highest branch on the apple tree it was my favorite place to be I could hear them breaking free but they could not see me *I will run for shelter endless summer lift the curse it feels like nothing matters in our private universe I have all I want, is that simple enough? a whole lot more I'm thinking of every night about six o'clock birds come back to the pond to talk they talk to me - birds to talk to me if I go down on my knees *Repeat It feels like nothing matters in our private universe And it's a pleasure that I have known and it's a treasure that I have gained and it's a pleasure that I have known It's a tight squeeze, but I won't let go time is on the table and the dinner's cold I will run for shelter endless summer lift the curse it feels like nothing matters in our private universe......... |

The odd times we slip
And slither down the dark hall Fingers point from old windows An eerie shadow falls I'm walking on the spot To show that I'm alive Moving every bone in my body From side to side Will we be in our minds when the dawn breaks Can we look the milkman in the eye The world is somehow different, you have all been changed Before my very eyes Walk around your home Pour yourself a drink Fire one more torpedo, baby Watch the kitchen sink You're lounging on the sofa, maybe See the living room die The dishes are unwashed and broken All you do is cry See the living room die The dishes are unwashed and broken All you do is cry |

I thought it was about time something newer than Woodface was
put into the archive. The first single from the new "probably-better-than-Woodface-after-all" album : Tell me all the things you would change I don't pretend to know what you want When you come around and spin my top Time and again, time and again No fire where I lit my spark I am not afraid of the dark When your words devour my heart And put me to shame, put me to shame [Chorus: When your seven worlds collide Whenever I am by your side And dust from a distant sun Will shower over everyone] You're still so young to travel so far Old enough to know who you are Wise enough to carry the scars Without any blame, there's no-one to blame It's easy to forget what you learnt Waiting for the thrill to return Feeling your desire burn And drawn to the flame [Chorus] Dust from a distant sun Will shower over everyone And I'm lying on the table washed out in the flood Like a Christian fearing vengeance from above I don't pretend to know what you want But I offer love... Seven worlds will collide Whenever I am by your side Dust from a distant sun Will shower over everyone As time slips by And your mind And your mind As time slips by |

No night to stay in
Bad moon is rising again Dice rolls And you burn Come down I fear As that cold wheel turns I know what I know Sad Claude's been sleeping around To stroke the right nerve Whose needs do I serve As Catherine's wheel turns She was always the first to say gone she's got her catherine wheels on Always the first to say gone Go kindly with him To his blind apparition His face creases up With age gone grey He'll back here one day She was always the first to say gone she's got her catherine wheels on Always the first to say gone She's got her catherine wheels on Wheels on Catherine wheels She's gone Vanished in the night Broke off the logic of light He woke Tore the covers back Found he was empty inside So they were told When the moon would rise The best time to leave with your soul She's gone But towards the light Watching her whole life unfold Bruises come out dark So strong was his hold on her Regarded by some as his slave He spoke as in a stranger's tongue Despair us and drive you away Bruises come out dark |

She came all the way from America
Had a blind date with destiny And the sound of Te Awamutu Had a truly sacred ring Now her parents are divorced And her friend's committing suicide I could not escape A plea from the heart You know what it means to me She said don't walk away I'm down on my knees So please don't be mean to me So I talked to you for an hour In the bar of a small town hotel You asked me what I was thinking I was thinking of a padded cell With a black and white T.V. To stop us from getting lonely I could not escape A plea from the heart You know what it means to me She said don't walk away I'm down on my knees So please don't be mean to me No, I could not escape A plea from the heart Mysterious sympathy I couldn't wait for a chance To walk out the door You know what it means to me I saw you lying in the arms of a poet I heard him tell you t...tantalizing lies (about me) Well whad'd'ya know, whad'd'ya know I could not escape You're down on the floor You know what it means to me I couldn't wait for a chance To walk out the door Mean ... You know what it means In the arms of a poet You know what it means |

Here's someone now whose got the muscle
His steady hand could move a mountain Expert in bed but come on now There must be something missing That golden one leads a double life You'll find out But I don't know where you go Do you climb into space To the world where you live The world where you live So here we lie against each other These four walls can never hold us We're looking for wide open spaces High above the kitchen And we're strangers here On our way to some other place But I don't know where you go Do you climb into space To the world where you live The world where you live The world where you live When friends come round You might remember and be sad Behind their eyes is unfamiliar Do you climb into space To the world where you live The world where you live ... |

It never used to be that bad
But neither was it great Somewhere in the middle then Content and much too safe Oh tell me please Why it takes so long To realise when there's something wrong Chorus: Lay me out with your heart Now we're getting somewhere Push me back to the start Now we're getting somewhere Take me out let me breathe Now we're getting somewhere When I'm with you I don't care Where it is I'm falling There's money in the Bible Belt Hugs for daddy too Three wishes for eternity We've got some work to do Oh tell me please, tell me what went wrong Cos I believe there is something wrong Chorus When you took me to your room I swear I said surrender When you opened up your mouth I saw the words fall out Though nothing much has changed I swear I will surrender There is pain in me heart We can choose what we choose to believe |

There's closets in my head where dirty things are kept
That never see the light of day I want to drag them out, go for a walk Just to see the look that's on your face Sometimes I can't be straight I don't want to hurt you So forgive me if I tell a lie Sometimes I come on cold but don't believe it I will love you till the day I die I believe in doing things backwards Take heed, start doing things in reverse Here comes trouble, there's nothing wrong when I relax I'm talking to myself you're coming with me Teaching you how to distort the facts Sometimes I can't be straight I don't want to hurt you So forgive me if I tell a lie Sometimes I come on cold but don't believe it I will love you till the day I die I believe in doing things backwards Take heed, start doing things in reverse Frost on the window pane, the sound of pouring rain All makes me glad of you Though I am far away I am always with you Know the answer before you know the question Pull yourself together, baby, push with all you might I'm all alone, always alone Though I am far away I am always with you |

There's a hole in the river where my auntie lies
From the land of the living to the air and sky Left her car by the river left her shoes beside Through the thorns and the bushes I hope she was ... Dreaming of glory Miles above the mountains and plains Free at last We were touched by a cold wind, my father and I The sound of desperate breathing her fear inside us all She was coming to see him but something changed her mind Drove her down to the river There is no return There's a hole in the river where a memory lies From the land of the living to the air and sky She was coming to see him But something changed her mind, drove her down to the river There is no return |

Falling down like scraps of paper I will leave them where they lie to remind me From the past a rumour comes Don't let it keep draggin' you down Throw the memory in an open fire You'll be free Roll back the tombstone Let the saints appear Roll back the tombstone Make a new man out of me Beware the passenger The train already left the station We are neither at home nor at work We are moving Listen to the howling of steel A face betraying no emotion Like you never had a chance to be Wild and free Roll back the tombstone Let the saints appear Roll back the tombstone Till the Lone Ranger rides again Rides again in your mind Rode across the open plain All the way and back again |

Well the road I see before me
Threatens pain at every bend, yeah Well my needs are mine, I understand And hope to calling friends Well, good company, it may comfort me But I don't want love to distract my heart from the way Now your love it gave me sorrow And a broken heart to mend, yeah So I took me to this lonely road My sweet hopes, to defend Oh and why pretend, I won't look back Even though the love of a happy man waits before Well, the winter wind blows chilly And the road is dark and gray So take pity on a wanderer should you pass me on the way Oh, I'm left alone without a home Makes a man ask why he travels on When hope is gone It's a long road It's a long road It's a long road It's a long road |

I am there to see That fear holds no sway Soft is my flight And my eyes kill the lies that attack you Life is my right And in sleep's little bed I'll protect you So hear, lest my presence dismay That I am not like other birds of prey That I am not like other birds of prey When hopes are young and your cares are few Then I soar above keeping (true to you/truth in you/truth in view) And my name is love |

Why sing a lonely song?
The whole world knows that love goes wrong Why loose a heart that isn't broken? It isn't broken, it can't be broken Life's just a show for free Come along and watch with me The only sins are words unspoken Words unspoken, never spoken Sweet things come and go Give me shame, I'll give you wow To live for love isn't so easy It isn't easy, it won't be easy! How all good men try, Look around and wonder why Can they shape this world to please me Can they please me, should they please me? I follow but maybe you'll correct me I wish you'd never met me For I am your gentle man I follow and while you watch and wonder I call my world a sundown And show you who I am Send me a gentle dream of love so strange it's never seen And proof how such a love can happen It can happen, make it happen Fine things tumble down Fade away without a sound But hope must never end or slacken Never slacken, never slacken I follow but maybe you'll correct me I wish you'd never met me I am your gentle man I follow and while you watch and wonder I call my world a sundown And show you who I am |

I ain't got too much money, I ain't got too much sins
Long ago I had a dream but that's no recompense My father was a blind man, my brother was a fool My mother told me "God is love" But hatred makes the rules Teach me to fly So I shan't drag my feet in the sand Give me the sky I would take the whole world in my hand World, don't you tell me I cannot last forever Before you know I'll come and go And make you if I can Maybe I'm a beggar, just check your sympathy They throw away their gentle love And keep their pain for me Can we be free, in a world where to love is to own? Well when will we see, that a man must face life all alone? Maybe I'm a beggar, just check your sympathy They throw away their gentle love and keep their pain for me Teach me to fly So I shan't drag my feet in the sand Give me the sky I would take the whole world in my hand Can we be free, in a world where to love is to own?

Body so warm within his perfumed bed Sleeping alone, the shadow of a man He will entice you too, and if he can Nothing to show for love has never been Nothing to show for love has never been Nothing to show for love has never been Nothing is handed, power is changing fast Many the empty hopes his lips caress Sorry to say his days are spent in vain Chasing a dream of doom of nights in pain Nothing to show for love has never been Nothing to show for love has never been Nothing to show for love has never been Shadowy nights of memories of the grave Gentle my love and sweetness sometimes sick Keep up his time while his crimes are known Only a fool can see he's sold his love Nothing to show for love has never been Nothing to show for love has never been Nothing to show for love has never been Nothing to show for love has never been Nothing to show for love has never been Nothing to show for love has never been |

Did your shadow ever speak to you?
And did he say that something's wrong? Only a figure on a lamplit wall Never realized he cared at all Did he stop you going on? Guess my shadow spoke to me tonight And made me throw my dreams away Told a story of a twisted man Who was playing with some foolish plan 'Bout a girl who had flew away Sometimes shadows are near I see things very clear: my life unwinds Somewhere I'll make my stand Look around at yesterday And change my mind Now your shadow isn't always there In the light of cloudy days Or in circles where you hide from view All the dust that ever bothered you And where people loose your name' |

It's just heartbreaking
I should have known that it would let me down It's just a mind aching I used to dream about this town It was a sight to see The place to be, Where the living is easy And the kicks can always be found It's such a shame about it I used to think that it would feel so good But who's to blame about it So many creeps in Hollywood I'm in this dumb motel Nea the 'Taco Bell' Without a hope in hell I can't believe that I'm still around Ain't nothin new in my life today Ain't nothing true it's all gone away I've had too much cryin', seen too much grief I'm sick of tryin' it's beyond belief I'm tired of talking on the telephone They're trying to tell me that they're not at home Ain't nothing new in my life today I'm tired of walking from place to place I've yet to come across a friendly face And now the words sound familiar, as them slam the door "You're not what we're looking for." Ain't nothing new in my life today Ain't nothing true it's all gone away If we only had time, only had time for you If we only had time, only had time for you If we only had time, only had time for you It was a heartbreaking Now I ride in the big fine car It was mind aching I'm the talk of the boulevard So keep your chin up boy Forget the pain I know you'll make it If you try again There's no use in quitting When the world is waiting for you |

When I was young,
it seemed that life was so wonderful, a miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical. And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily, joyfully, playfully watching me. But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible, logical, responsible, practical. And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable, clinical, intellectual, cynical. There are times when all the world's asleep, the questions run too deep for such a simple man. Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned I know it sounds absurd but please tell me who I am. Now watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical, liberal, fanatical, criminal. Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're acceptable, respectable, presentable, a vegetable! At night, when all the world's asleep, the questions run so deep for such a simple man. Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned I know it sounds absurd but please tell me who I am. |

So you think you're a Romeo
playing a part in a picture-show Take the long way home Take the long way home Cos you're the joke of the neighborhood Why should you care if you're feeling good Take the long way home Take the long way home But there are times that you feel you're part of the scenery all the greenery is comin' down, boy And then your wife seems to think you're part of the furniture oh, it's peculiar, she used to be so nice. When lonely days turn to lonely nights you take a trip to the city lights And take the long way home Take the long way home You never see what you want to see Forever playing to the gallery You take the long way home Take the long way home And when you're up on the stage, it's so unbelievable, unforgettable, how they adore you, But then your wife seems to think you're losing your sanity, oh, calamity, is there no way out? Does it feel that you life's become a catastrophe? Oh, it has to be for you to grow, boy. When you look through the years and see what you could have been oh, what might have been, if you'd had more time. So, when the day comes to settle down, Who's to blame if you're not around? You took the long way home You took the long way home........... |

I know that there's a reason why I need to be alone
I need to find a silent place that I can call my own Is it mine, Lord is it mine? When everything's dark and nothing seems right, there's nothing to win and there's no need to fight I never cease to wonder at the cruelty of this land but it seems a time of sadness is a time to understand Is it mine, Lord is it mine? When everything's dark and nothing seems right, You don't have to win and there's no need to fight If only I could find a way to feel your sweetness through the day The love that shines around me could be mine. So give us an answer, won't you, We know what we have to do, There must be a thousand voices trying to get through. |

They cut the telephone uh huh Yeah my life is just a mess I threw it all away now I could have made a fortune I lost the craving for success And as the acrobats they tumble So the corn begins to crumble While in the mirror She admires a brand new dress Live on the second floor now They're trying to bust the door down Soon I'll have a new address So much for liberation They'll have a celebration Yeah I've been under too much stress And as the cloud begin to rumble So the juggler makes his fumble And the sun upon my wall is getting less Don't, give a damn Fight, while you can Kill, shoot 'em up They'll run amuck Shout, Judas Loud, they'll hear us Soldier, sailor They'll run for cover when they discover Everyone's a nervous wreck now I used to think she was so nimble Would have bought her as symbol But now I can't afford the pen to sign her checks Don't give a damn............................ They'll run for cover when they discover Everyone's a nervous wreck now Life's just a bummer they got your number We'll give as good as we get now Rise from the gutter, stick with each other We'll drive 'em over the edge now They're gonna bleed, that's what they need We'll get together and blow their cover We're ready Yeah we're ready Yeah we're ready |

It doesn't matter what I say
You never listen anyway Just don't know what you're looking for Imagination's all I have But ever then you say it's bad Just can't see why we disagree Casual conversations how they bore me They go on and on endlessly But no matter what I say You ignore me anyway I might as well talk in my sleep (I could weep) You try to make me feel so small Until there's nothing left at all Why go on? Just hoping that we'll get along There's no communication left between us But is it me or you who's to blame? There's nothing I can do, yes you're fading out of view Don't know if I feel joy or pain And now it's all been said If you must leave then go ahead Should feel sad But I really believe that I'm glad Yes I really believe that I'm glad |

Well, who do you think you're foolin'?
You say you're havin' fun, But you're busy going nowhere, Just lying in the sun. You tried to be a hero, commit the perfect crime but the dollar got you dancing and you're running out of time. You're messin' up the water You're rolling in the wine You're poisoning your body You're poisoning your mind You gave me coca-cola You said it tasted good You watch the television It tell you that you should. How can you live in this way? You must have something to say. There must be more to this life. It's time we did something right. Child of Vision, won't you listen? Find yourself a new ambition. I've heard it all before You're saying nothing new I thought I saw a rainbow But I guess it wasn't true You cannot make me listen I cannot make you hear You find your way to heaven, I'll meet you when you're there. How can you live in this way? You must have something to say. We have no reason to fight, cos we both know that we're right. Child of Vision, won't you listen? Find yourself a new ambition. |

It was an early morning yesterday
I was up before the dawn And I really have enjoyed my stay But I must be moving on Like a king without a castle Like a queen without a throne I'm an early morning lover And I must be moving on Now I believe in what you say Is the undisputed truth But I have to have things my own way To keep me in my youth Like a ship without an achor Like a slave without a chain Just the thought of those sweet ladies Sends a shiver through my veins And I will go on shining Shining like brand new I'll never look behind me My troubles will be few Goodbye strangeR it's been nice Hope you find your paradise Tried to see your point of view Hope your dreams will all come true Goodbye Mary, Goodbye Jane Will we ever meet again Feel no sorrow, feel no shame Come tomorrow, feel no pain Now some they do and some they don't And some you just can't tell )like( And some they will and some they won't With some it's just as well You can laugh at my behavior That'll never bother me Say the devil is my savior But I don't pay no heed And I will go on shining Shining like brand new I'll never look behind me My troubles will be few Goodbye stranger it's been nice etc... |

Why don't you sleep out, stop living high You're on your own, your making bed Now time for wasting, just look ahead Your poopa don't mind what you do or say You can't surprise him anymore He's got a reputation and he don't know fad Your poppa don't mind at all He's getting old, he's getting late It's soon tomorrow, so celebrate Bring it out, and go to town Before you're thinking, sell him now? Your poopa don't mind what you do or say You can't surprise him anymore He don't believe in heaven like a good man should Your poppa don't mind at all Find him out, he's half a fun When you find out, don't try to run If you know, then you'll be gone And if you don't know, it's still to come Your poopa don't mind what you do or say You can't surprise him anymore He talked about his women and his old school tie Your poppa don't mind at all You can't surprise him anymore He don't believe in heaven like a good man should Your poppa don't mind at all Your poppa don't mind at all Your poppa don't mind at all |

Dream of nothing to do
Dream of nothing to say Guess I need something to dream about But Something keeps on moving away I said, land ho, will I be sailing forever? I need some wind to take me to my goal Land ho, will I be dreaming forever? I gotta find an anchor for my soul Once I thought I could see But now I feel I'm just blind For there's this Something that's calling me Something that is so hard to find I said, land ho, will I be sailing forever? I guess I feel my ship is getting old Land ho, will I be dreaming forever? I gotta find an anchor for my soul When you're alone, there's not a sail in sight There's a grey-lit sky and you may just try to take your life There once was a lady made me feel alright But she couldn't stay, she just sailed away Now there's only waves to see me through the night Maybe I'll always be sad And maybe there'll always be strife Drifting alone with a saddened tone Afloat in the ocean of life I said, land ho, a sailing ship gone forever I need some wind to take me to my goal Land ho, will I be searching forever? I gotta find an anchor for my soul Will I be sealing forever? Will I be dreaming forever? Will I be searching forever, forever, forever, forever… (repeat to fade) |

In the middle of our summer romance
He walked up to her and he asked her to dance I could see the old lovelight in her eyes See the lovelight in her eyes It took a while to say How's your new love babe? My heart was beating with a rage like thunder And when I saw him I began to wonder I could see the old lovelight in his eyes See the lovelight in his eyes It took a while to say How's your new love babe? Well in the middle of our summer romance He walked up to her and he said, please give me another chance I could see the old lovelight in her eyes See the lovelight in her eyes It took a while to say How's your new love babe Yes it did Took a while to say How's your new love babe Ah yeah Took a while to say How's your new love babe |

School Lyrics
Artist(Band):Supertramp Review The Song (0) Print the Lyrics School Lyrics MP3 Downloads Send Supertramp polyphonic ringtone to your cell phone I can see you in the morning when you go to school Don't forget your books, you know you've got to learn the golden rule, Teacher tells you stop your play and get on with your work And be like Johnnie - too-good, well don't you know he never shirks - he's coming along! After school is over you're playing in the park Don't be out too late, don't let it get too dark They tell you not to hang around and learn what life's about And grow up just like them - won't you let it work it out - and you're full of doubt Don't do this and don't do that What are they trying to do? Make a good boy of you Do they know where it's at? Don't criticize, they're old and wise Do as they tell you to Don't want the devil to Come and put out your eyes Maybe I'm mistaken expecting you to fight Or maybe I'm just crazy, I don't know wrong from right But while I am still living, I've just got this to say It's always up to you if you want to be that want to see that want to see it that way - you're coming along! |

So you think your schooling's phoney
I guess it's hard not to agree You say it all depends on money And who is in your family tree Right, you're bloody well right you know you got a right to say Right, you're bloody well right you know you got a right to say Ha-ha you're bloody well right you know you're right to say Yeah-yeah you're bloody well right you know you're right to say Me, I don't care anyway! Write your problems down in detail Take them to a higher place You've had your cry - no, I should say wail In the meantime hush your face Right, quite right, you're bloody well right... etc. |

Rudy's on a train to nowhere, halfway down the line
He don't wanna get there, but he needs time He ain't sophisticated, nor well-educated After all the hours he's wasted, still he needs time He needs time - he needs time for livin' He needs time - for so |

Ooo-when I was a small boy,
Well, I could see the magic in a day, But, now I'm just a poor boy, Well, maybe it's the price you have to pay, If you lock your dreams away If no-one wants to listen. What's the story, I wish I'd been a minstrel, Just think of all the maidens I could call, Oh-I wish I'd been a gypsy, Then maybe I could read the crystal ball, 'Cause surrounded by these walls, Just makes me feel uneasy. I said hey, Sister Moonshine Won't you send me a little sun Who's a stranger to everyone. I said hey, Sister moonshine So, -MAKE US ALL LAUGH- -MAKE US ALL GIVE- Make us all cry Make us all try Give us a secret, show us the light, Well, strike up the music, light up the sky. Well, I could be the king off all the plains, Mmm-If I was a lion, Mmm-If is was an eagle, Well, maybe I could fly above the rains, But, I know I'm only foolin' Oh, fly above the pain I said hey, Sister Moonshine, Won't you send me a little sun, Who's a stranger to everyone. I said hey, Sister Moonshine, Make us all cry, So, -MAKE US ALL LAUGH- -MAKE US ALL GIVE- Make us all cry, I said hey, Sister Moonshine, I said hey, said hey I said hey, I said hey Sister Moonshine I said hey, Sister Moonshine |

Let me tell you a story that'll make a change,
Let me tell you when I'm way out of range; It's about a man who's crueler than me, So promise not to cause a scene, Heaven help the one's you love, There's no big need for stars above Well, you can run, you, know he'll find you, It don't matter now, just look behind you, You had your warn, and you knew the score, You got it wrong, and that means war; So, why'd you have to treat me rough, Your explanation's not enough. Ain't nobody but me, Gonna lie for you, gonna die for you; Ain't no fish in the sea, Gonna sigh for you, gonna try for you, Gonna lie for you, gonna die for you, Wooh You see, I got a mental disposition, Sometimes, I'm mean, sometimes I'm vicious; I'm dr. jekyll, I'm mr. hyde, So if you want to stay alive, Just give me all you've got to give, And, then perhaps I'll let you live. Ain't nobody but me, Gonna lie for you, gonna die for you, Ain't no fish in the sea, Goin' sigh for you, gonna try for you, Goin' lie for you, gonna die for you; Goin' sigh for you, gonna try for you, Goin' lie for you, gonna die for you.- (Hush) now baby, stop your crying, (Oh yes) I know that I've been lying, (Hush) now baby, stop your crying (Oh yes) I know that I've been lying (Hush) now baby, stop your crying (Oh yes) I know that I've been lying (Hush) now baby, stop your crying (Oh yes) I know that I've been lying |
