Well, I don't care
About the summer rain I know it's good for the garden Don't care what blue skies They turn to gray When you come around And try to run me down Storm clouds darken, yeah I don't get down when the fields go brown It's just a charm of the season Well, things in nature have their reason But when you come along and try to do me wrong Well, the first time, I'll ignore it But don't you push beyond the pale But then you're gonna find There's no more water in the well And you may think you're gonna walk Right all well over me But there's a sting in the tail Of this honey bee The wind blows cold as the year grows old Yeah, that's just the natural way it goes I feel a chill from my head down to my toes Each time you call my name and tell me I'm to blame Well, the first time, I'll ignore it But don't you push beyond the pale But then you're gonna find There's no more water in the well And you may think you're gonna walk Right all over me But there's a sting in the tail Of this honey bee I said the first time I'll ignore it But don't you push beyond the pale And then you're gonna find There's no more water in the well You may think you're gonna walk Right all over me There's a sting in the tail Of this honey bee Yes, there's a sting in the tail Well, the cold wind's gonna blow Let it rain, let it snow And don't give me your grief I can't take it anymore |

You say that you could do with a break
Had about all you can take You need to find somewhere you can run to Somewhere a long way from here Somewhere where the skies are all clear Somewhere you can think all your thoughts through It took a long time to make me understand You gotta meet life and shake it by the hand You gotta use your emotion You talk a nice line to put your mind at ease You want to sit back and count your memories But that's no solution I don't want to harp about it But what you gonna do about it? Look at how you're set in your ways You used to be so willing to face Any kind of problem before you Life is not as long as you think Open up your mind and you'll see Don't destroy yourself I implore you You've got a fine wife, a perfect family You had it all planned to live so carefully But where does it get you They say the mind is an awful thing to waste And that's a fact that you must come to face What more can I tell you? I don't want to harp about it But what you gonna do about it? You have everything you that need You only have to try to succeed And realize it's all waiting for you Living life this way is a bust If you have to suffer you must Don't you know we want to applaud yo |

So many years have come and gone since then
Still i can't forget the past But you and me, we'll surelt meet again And maybe find the truth at last And the light, in the night Shines on brightly If it's alright with you It's alright with me Well i believe, that fate will find a way To guide us through these restless years And yes i know, that we'll speak one day With no more doubts and no more fears And the light, in the night Shines on brightly If it's alright with you It's alright with me So tell me now, if you can share my view Tell me where your comin' from We've both had time, time to think it through To know just where we both belong And the light, in the night Shines on brightly If it's alright with you It's alright with me |

If there's no way of knowing where's the answer, You should know if you need me by now, tell me how. You saw me in the first place, Who d'you think I am How can you be so two-faced And tell me where I stand Yeah, we've been here once before, I see you by the door, You said you knew and all were calling, Yeah, you know you just can't lose, All you have to do is choose, let me in on where your heart is. You ain't nothing but another man's woman, Living on another man's land; At night I hear a hound dog callin, A callin' me a cheatin' man. I tell you somethin', I need good lovin', but you don't understand, At night I see you cannonball comin' To blow me to the promised land. If there's no-way of showing where your love lies, Is it me?, is it him?, or no-one; What will be done? About the mess you made me, Oh don't you give a damn, You're gonna drive me crazy, It's more than I can stand, 'Round and 'round we always go First it's yes and then it's no, Oh whatever keeps me sane? I'm so helpless, can't you see? Did you cast a spell on me, Say you love me please, I'm praying |

Well I've been living next to you I mock them all, they're feelin' small, they got no answer When they haunt me and taunt me in my cage. Bluesy Monday is the one day that they come here, Don't arrange to have me sent to no asylum They're playin' dumb but I'm just lauging as they rage It's only a game I play for fun I've been foolin' everyone - everyone.

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. |

Black and white boy
black and white boy you're so extreme you're so confused color me in whatever mood I'm in I could be still in touch with you And you're full of the wonder of spring it's all sweetness and lightness you bring and a room full of people fall to your infinite charm but when darkness should quickly descend you go quietly, my miserable friend to the depths of despair you will crawl black and white boy Black and white boy black and white boy you're so extreme you're so confused color me in whatever mood I'm in I could be still in touch with you When you shake off the shadows of night and your eyes are so clear and so bright you'll make fools of the liars and creeps put a rose in my cheeks but when demons have climbed on your back you are vicious and quick to attack and you put on a wonderful show do you really, really think I don't know? black and white boy And you run like a cat to the cream and you're acting so nice it's obscene you put on a wonderful show do you really, really think I don't know? black and white boy . |

There's a red cloud hanging over us
And it's so big and it's gonna burst All you people with your heads in the ground Hey brother, where you bound? And they're no good and they're everywhere Try to tell you but you just don't care Yes I hear you but you don't make a sound Hey brother, where you bound? Hey brother, where you bound? And you don't know, what they're gonna do? And you don't know, how they feel? And you don't know, what they're tellin' you? Is it a lie or is it real And the next thing that you know is That they walk out on the deal And the message that they're giving you Is the same old alibi If you don't quite see their point of view Then they treat you like a spy And the phone rings and you disappear In the middle of the night Can't you see they're on the move Don't know what you're trying to prove But you sit there oh! so cool, like they never broke no rules And the cat flies and the crow walks And the ghost dies and the sow talks And they tell us, that they'll be as good as gold Hey brother, where's your soul? Believe nothing that you're told Make a move in one direction, try to make some compromise But they greet you with rejection, making out you're telling lies Then they turn around and tell you, better get down from the sky For the sake of all that's holy, listen good to what I say I can feel them all around me, they could be here any day But you act like you don't know me, why do you look at me that way? If there's one thing that is clear, we gotta get away from here We've gotta leave this place, it's just a hopeless case Ain't no one else to blame, we're gonna lose this game Hey brother get off my back, I gotta tell you, you're way off the track They got a hatred deep down inside Ain't gonna let them take me alive I'm gonna burn them down, just wait and see Ain't gonna let them, walk over me Boy, you ain't got no heart and soul And your mind is weak and your blood's running cold You better move, you better hide They're getting in, they're getting inside If you get caught, you better know They're gonna reap, you're gonna sow Don't be a fool, we gotta go Ain't no place safe for us to stay We better move on, we better move on We better move on, we better move on We better move on, we better move on |

I never wanted the responsibility I still remember what they tried to make of me They used to wonder what they couldn't get through to me, 'Cauce all that I had as this music A-coming to me And all that I had was this rhythm A-running through me. I took a tip from the man in the ministry He said, ";My son, better work in the factory"; Well there were days I can tell you quite honestly I saw myself winding up in the military So lucky to have all this music A-coming to me I'm lucky to have all this rhythm A-running through me I'm watching the movie go down Around, about me I'm watching the marry-go-round Go down about me. I said, ";Lovers, you're needed in the garden 'Cauce there's a lot of crazy people Who've forgotten where their heart is And they don't give a damn About hurting those flowers and those trees."; C'est le bon, sailing on and on... Sometimes I wonder where my life is taking me Sometimes I wonder what they all expect of me Well there were days I can tell you quite honestly I saw myself winding up in the monastery 'Cauce all that I have is this music A-coming to me And all that I have is this rhythm A-running through me I'm watching the movie go down Around, about me I'm watching the marry-go-round Go down about me.

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 |

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?

Now you're very much like your mother
And that's a natural fact But you couldn't look much like your brother's wife Or anyone like that And you don't look much like your sister 'Cause she's all big and fat But don't breath a word to your mean old dad 'Cause I'll be coming back I'm coming home to see you early in the morning I'll be around and on the first train today I'm coming home to see you while day's dawning All aboard, all aboard Put on some fancy clothes and meet me at the station Make sure I don't mistake you for your sister Jane Don't want to see you with your goddamn relations That's all for now, I'll se you, ciao |

Here’s a little song to make you feel good Put a little light in your day These are crazy times And it’s all been getting pretty serious Here’s a little song to make you feel right Send the blues away Well it’s a crazy game Tell me who’s to blame, I’m kind of curious. Right if you win, wrong if you lose Nobody listens when you’re singing the blues Well something’s the matter, but nothing gets done Oh everyone’s waiting for a place in the sun Well something is wrong now Can something be wrong with me Oh brother, why’s it got to be so crazy... Gimme little left, gimme little right Gimme little black, gimme little white Gimme little peace, gimme little hope Gimme little light ’cause you know it seems that the situation’s getting serious. Right if you win, wrong if you lose Nobody listens when you’re singing the blues Well something’s the matter, but nothing gets done There’s no use in waiting for a place in the sun ’cause something is wrong now Can something be wrong with me Oh brother, why’s it got to be so crazy... Oh something is wrong with me Oh brother, why’s it got to be this crazy...

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 |

Another pleasant day in the countryside
Ended up in tears on a stormy night 'Cause you can't follow my directions home Don't stop now God knows where the satellite's taking us Can't tell what is right in front of us But I hang on every word Don't stop now No, don't stop now Give me something I can write about Get fooled by the lightning every time See the after image of my outline Then you turn the wrong way ‘round Well, don't stop now No, don't stop now Give me something I can write about Give me something I can cry about In a church house ten miles out of town Is the devil gonna track me down When you travel through a tunnel in the trees Just remember that's how you get to me There's no number on the house The birds are heading south Sometimes you have to turn The wrong way ‘round Sometimes you get too close to nowhere now Restless, hopeful, in silence I wait With a blank piece of paper on the top of my head And all I want is something I can write about All I want is something I can cry about |

They planted seeds in a faraway land In between the palms and the succulent grow They lose their leaves in the winter Mark the seasons for him and for her Once upon a time in the fallen snow Up against the sky made a silhouette show England cries and she plays for him Her chords entwined like a requiem And though it's springtime and color is new In Regent's Park I will mourn for you And I must be wise somehow 'Cause my heart's been broken down It's so far to fall And so hard to climb Nothing sadder I know Than the passing of time You won't forget me You won't forget me Like english trees in my garden Summer's missed you my darling All your crimes are forgiven All your crimes are forgiven And I must be wise somehow (You won't forget me) (You won't forget me) And England cries There's English trees in my garden |

I want to keep your hopes alive So where do I begin To help you believe again Makers of secret planes Keepers of our last remains Dream of a holy state In a nightmare time You know I meant it well But who was it meant to help? Even a child knows you dont waste it A promise is only given once And there is no doubt that changes have begun Even a child knows that you can't fake it As long as the world is waking up You are free now to recover your heart The stories left to write The ebb and flow of my life To justify the end I'll do everything I can And it's a dangerous game I heard you tell someone that you don't care But I don't believe the message And when you sing about love What are you thinking of? Even a child knows you dont waste it As long as the world is waking up And there is no doubt that changes have begun Even a child knows you don't fake it A promise is only given once You are free now to go wherever you want Theres nothing like waking up in some foreign town Music is a call to prayer Wailing out of the speakers in the market place The first time Even a child Even a child knows you don't waste it A present can always be delivered twice You are free now to receive the gift of insight From now on (lets be open) All in time (lets breathe in) Am I brave (you're so brave) Am I afraid (no not afraid) Even a child |

But no one wants to share this world of Mine is dull, dark and gray And no one wants to find the way to My front door is always open to you Hey now life, you give a break For much more of this I cannot Take me to a far off place Where there's no rich or poor And every house has got an ever open door I wanna to find my direction Want my love and affection Yes I'm needing it more and more I wanna to find my own answers It's time I knew what my plans were I'm gonna find out what I'm looking for I'm gonna take all my chances Gonna make my advances I'm gonna see what my life has in store I've got a feeling inside me I'll put the past way behind me Pick myself up from the floor I want my sun in the morning Want my friends to come calling I'll keep a welcome outside my door |

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 |

Fork lightning in your hall
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 |

Can you imagine this
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. |

History recalls how great the fall can be While everybody's sleeping, the boats put out to sea Borne on the wings of time It seemed the answers were so easy to find ";Too late,"; the prophets cry The island's sinking, let's take to the sky Called the man a fool, striped him of his pride Everyone was laughing up until the day he died And though the wound went deep Still he's calling us out of our sleep My friends, we're not alone He waits in silence to lead us all home So tell me that you find it hard to grow Well I know, I know, I know And you tell me that you've many seeds to sow Well I know, I know, I know Can you hear what I'm saying Can you see the parts that I'm playing ";Holy Man, Rocker Man, Come on Queenie, Joker Man, Spider Man, Blue Eyed Meanie"; So you found your solution What will be your last contribution? ";Live it up, rip it up, why so lazy? Give it out, dish it out, let's go crazy, 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 |

When a spirit is broken
Why go on When there's nothing to say And a love just a token It was strong Now it's fading away Ah but I'm free as a bird As I walk right out that door You have my word I won't bother you no more Yes I'm doing alright As I face the lonely night And our love it was over Long ago But we just didn't say And the years they have fallen One by one How they drifted away But now I'm free as a bird As I walk out that door You have my word I won't bother you no more Yes I'm feeling OK As I face the brand new day As I face the brand new day You know I'm free as a bird As I walk right out that door You have my word I won't bother you no more Yes I'm doing alright As I face the lonely night As I face the lonely night No more sorrows will I find I've got tomorrow on my side No more teardrops will I cry Left my teardrops way behind No more sorrows will I find I've got tomorrow on my side No more teardrops will I cry Left my teardrops way behind No more heartaches bother me Don't wear my heartaches on my sleeve It's gonna be a brand new story What's the use of former glory It's better not to do if you can't do right It's time to get to celebrating After all the years of waiting I'm gonna have a ball if it takes all night |

Hey buddy want to talk to you
'Bout a friend in need, a friend indeed I hear you got a few friends too Live up the stairs, selling their wears And they don't care, 'cause they don't know that Ooh he's very lonely Ooh he's lost his one and only Woman that he's ever had He sure feels bad, can you make him glad? Hey mister can you help him out? Can you put him straight, before it gets too late And show him what it's all about Hey mister well he's got the dough How much will it be to pay the fee? I guess that you can see through me So I'll be straight with you, I'll tell the truth Friend in need is just really me |

Monday has come around again
I'm in the same old place With the same old faces always watching me Who knows how long I'll have to stay Could be a hundred years Of sweat and tears At the rate that I get paid Sometimes I slowly drift away From all the dull routine That's with me every day A fantasy will come to me Diamonds are what I really need Think I'll rob a store, escape the law And live in Italy Lately my luck has been so bad You know the roulette wheel's A crooked deal I'm loosing all I had Soon be like a man that's on the run And live from day to day Never needing anyone Play hide and seek Throughout the week My life is full of romance Guess I'll always have to be Living in a fantasy That's the way it's got to be From now on You think I'm crazy I can see It's you for you, and me for me Living in a fantasy From now on |

You say you're so tired, you're never satisfied
But I can't seem to make you understand I see your point of view, life's been too good to you Just stand up and face things like a man You better get your act together If you ever wanna take it out on the road You know you can't sit around Or those bad times are gonna get to you And you're never gonna get to see it through I know, things don't seem so good right now But you gotta move along somehow Try to do the best you can Sure enough, things will slowly turn around You won't always be so down I know that it's true It won't always be such stormy weather It may be a cliche but the sun is gonna shine You know you can't sit around Or the bad times are gonna get to you And you're never ever gonna see it through It don't matter where you've been It's where you're going to Yeah, and it won't do you no good Just livin' in the past Oh, you can't sit around You know the bad times are gonna get to you And you're never ever gonna see it through And they're never ever gonna go Yeah, they'll be here to stay And it's always gonna be that way You know what I'm saying I think you know just what I'm saying Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes ... |

In time this fire will turn to ashes
The sun will fall out the sky Still you see no urgency To spend some time with me Time with me I can't believe you haven't noticed Just how long I've been waitin' for you I've been such a patient man But I still don't understand You won't Give me a chance to show how much I love you Give me a chance to show how much I care How I care It's hard to know just what you're thinkin' You cloak yourself in mistery Conversations always brief Like a sigh with no relief You won't Give me a chance to show how much I love you Give me a chance to show how much I care Give me a chance to show how much I love you If you dare Give me a chance to show how much I love you Give me a chance to show how much I care If you dare You gotta give me a chance to show how much I love you Give me a chance to show how much I care Give me a chance to show how much I love you Give me a chance Give me a chance You gotta give me a chance You gotta give me a chance to show just how much I love you Give me a chance ... |

Bless my heart and soul I've discovered gold Get the ship afloat A rock and roll the boat Spread the news around Let's get into town I am living down by the creek Getting mired in the mud I feel the cold in my blood No liquor for a week On her knees in the sludge Here's a very busy lady Well I do believe she's crazy You know she's working like a drudge Bless my heart and soul She's discovered gold Spread the news around Get the ship afloat A rock and roll the boat And let's get into town Even though she smelt like a drain She's an angel to me Her intentions are plain And the whiskey is free Keep it cool in the dirt Breaking out another bottle Well it's a water baby heaven I got the papers in my shirt We've discovered gold Bless my heart and soul Spread the news around A rock and roll the boat Get the ship afloat And let's get into town We've discovered gold Bless my heart and soul Spread the news around A rock and roll the boat And let's get into town Get the ship afloat You work hard all your life little honey But you can't afford to save any money You lay it down you leave the town To see what you could find For more than 20 years you're a diggin' It's a piece of change just like a mountain range Then you can't believe what you are a pickin' Whoopee we're gonna lay it down
