Couldn't sell a buck like a private Joe
You're the one, you're the one
Comb my hair and again I stare
Go find a song before too long

I've got a head full of/healthy feeling
A simple feeling
A sleeping feeling

Today is gone
Today is gone
Today is gone

Go to a store till they comfler/buy a comfrey
A cowboy song, a cowboy song
You're the one, you're the one
In a cowboy song you're the one

I've got a head full of/healthy feeling
A simple feeling
A sleeping feeling

It's all gone
Today is gone
It's all gone

I've got a simple feeling
A useless feeling
A sleeping feeling

It's all gone
Today is gone
Today is gone

pour yourself a strong drink she said thats all i needed have a seat with a cold trick that spun for days with out you turn around theres a new spring that lifts the weight of wanting empty ships will slow sink themselves in blue and chasing follow through with a strong swing im told saw stars forever walk around with a slow step behind those streets gone nowhere take a bow you can fly far with all that luck your saving empty ships will slow sink themselves in blue and chasing put it down your all done for now lets walk in wonder take a dive in a clear thought slow down say help im shaking change your name to a lost cause tuned out for years left sailing empty ships will slow sink themselves in blue and chasing

Golden years, gold whop whop whop
Golden years, gold whop whop whop
Don't let me hear you say life's taking you nowhere, angel
Come here baby
Look at that sky, life's begun
Nights are warm and the days are young
Come here baby
There's my baby, lost that's all
Once I'm begging you save her little soul
Golden years, gold whop whop whop
Come here baby

Last night they loved you, opening doors and pulling some strings, angel
Come here baby
In walked luck and you looked in time
Never look back, walk tall, act fine
Come here baby

I'll stick with you baby for a thousand years
Nothing's gonna touch you in these golden years, gold
Golden years, gold whop whop whop
Come here baby

Some of these days, and it won't be long
Gonna drive back down where you once belonged
In the back of a dream car twenty foot long
Don't cry my sweet, don't break my heart
Doing all right, but you gotta get smart
Wish upon, wish upon, day upon day, I believe oh lord
I believe all the way
Come here baby

There's my baby, lost that's all
Once I'm begging you save her little soul
Golden years, gold whop whop whop
Come here baby

Don't let me hear you say life's taking you nowhere, angel
Come get up my baby
Run for the shadows, run for the shadows
Run for the shadows in these golden years

I'll stick with you baby for a thousand years
Nothing's gonna touch you in these golden years, gold
Golden years, gold whop whop whop

Human - Elastica


I was only human
Of flesh and blood
I would relate to you
You know I could

I long to hold you
Just like you do
Ten times I've thought about it
The things you do

And so you see them
It's such a shame
It's just the way it goes
There is no pain

I long to hold you
Do what you would
Do dancing like you want to
You know I could

Like a kung fu maniac drunk on the blood of a thousand victims
My case in point is I don't have a system
No need to knock them down
What's that sound or uplift them, yeah
Well maybe in space no one can hear you scream
Now is it yourself or is it a team
Think fast 'cause you might get caught while you're asleep
The forces of evil run deep, they're so deep
Gettin' organizized
Confusion is the heart of stability
Stability is the heart and soul of insanity
It's going, it's going what's going's got you gone
There ain't nothing' here so move along
When it rains it pours it pours, it rains insanely
Logic is the strength of the truth but the pain sees it all
I'd tell you why but I cannot recall
Gettin' Organizized
Possessions possess they kill you distress
I know what's here and that is a mess
When you recreate the fact, you recreate the factual
What was never here becomes the actual
Seven thousand words scripted out in rhyme
And I've got some too but in the meantime I'll step from the flow 'cause that is my way
I know what's when hey what can I say

In my dusty house
In my dirty clothes
Seated in a town on the verge of extinction
Struggling with a tune
Alone I compose a bittersweet ditty
About an ex-girlfriend
But why bother with painful memories?
Why tear out my heart for all the world to see?
Why not paint by number
Catchy melody
Burn it up the charts with sweet simplicity
Then do it again

Gotta get away
Maybe we should stay
Seated in a town on the verge of explosion
New York and LA
Noone listening anyway
Busy predicting the next big thing
So why bother with changing scenery?
Why pack up the car and move to California?
Why not paint by number
Catchy melody
Playing all the parts in deadly harmony
Then do it again

Put the keys into the car
Put the car into drive
You can take us to the moon
Just take us for a ride

In his dusty house
In his dirty clothes
Seated in a town overrun by tourists
Struggling with a tune so alone he composes
A bittersweet ditty in the 3rd person
So why star in your fictional stories?
Why try to deny your criminal and thieves?
Go ahead Paint By Number
Phony fake I.D.'s
Burn it up the charts with sweet
simplicity, then do it again

-repeat chorus-

I'm only sleeping

I'm only sleeping

Woke up this morning, going back to bed
Alarm clock ringing in tune with my head
The booze I abuse to leave my boredom
I don't do drugs 'cos I cannot them
The Pye TV is my TV
'Cos the council bailiffs are after me
And when it's on it's pictures on me
I'm numb to the war in a distant country

I'm only sleeping
I'm only sleeping
Oh yeah now!

So I cover myself beneath my quilt
My power's run down and so is my guilt
At times like this I'm at a loss
Drifting in dreams of Ocho Rios
The cat crosses my face, I remember the fact
The DSS is on my back
I used to care a lot
Now the world spins before me

These days consist of sleep and daytime TV
So whaaaa?

I'm only sleeping
I'm only sleeping
Oh yeah now!
I'm only sleeping
So whaaaa?

Uh wrap it, uh wrap it up
Eh, eh

Me a dream-a, me a dream-a, me a dream after you
Mi-ni me a dream, mi-ni me a dream-a, mi-ni me a dream after you

So whaaaa?

Yeeee-aaaah!

So whaaaa? So whaaaa-aaaaa-aaaa?

I'm only sleeping
Oh yeah now!
I'm only sleeping
Don't wake me, don't wake me
I'm only sleeping
Don't call me, don't wake me
I'm only sleeping
Oh yeah now!

Me a dream-a, me a dream-a, me a dream after you
Mi-ni me a dream, mi-ni me a dream, mi-ni me a dream, mi-ni me dream
Me a dream-a, me a dream-a, me a dream after you
Mi-ni me a dream, mi-ni me a dream, mi-ni me a dream after you

Dream pon a Monday
Ah dream pon a Tuesday
Dream pon a Wednesday
Ah dream pon a Thursday
Dream pon a Friday
Dream pon a Saturday
Some ah da people wen me look at dem dream pon a Sunday!

I'm only sleeping
Don't wake me, don't shake me
I'm only sleeping
Don't wake me, don't wake me
I'm only sleeping
I'm only dreaming....

Move aside
and let the man go through.
Let the man go through.

If I stole
Somebody else's wave
To fly up.

If I rose
Up with the avenue
Behind me.

Some kind of verb.
Some kind of moving thing.
Something unseen.
Some hand is motioning
to rise, to rise, to rise.

Too fat, fat you must cut lean
You got to take the elevator to the mezzanine
Chump, change, and it's on, super bon bon
Super bon bon, Super bon bon

And by
The phone
I live
In fear
Sheer Chance
Will draw
You in
To here.

There's people who get away with what you're trying to do
But I see we might not have your luck
There's people who take away what I don't have to give
And maybe that's still not quite enough

So how can you say what we have done has been misguided?
And how can you say that you're the judge?

Don't you let me down this time
I know you can carry that weight

Please try and understand the reasons why
I'm trying to explain, now gimme some reply

So, baby, we're walking in the dark
So, baby, we're guessing between the light
I'm taking all I've had, place in my bag

I'm taking my chances

Don't you let me down this time
I know you can carry that weight

Please try and understand the reasons why
I'm trying to explain, now gimme some reply

Like walking in the dark, please realize and try
And understand, now gimme some reply

So try and understand the reasons why
I'm trying to explain, now gimme some reply

Got my sweet sweet love,
And my blistered feet,
In the easy heat,
Come away,

I was feeling fine,
I'm the waters friend,
I could stay here,
For the day,

We still need more than anyone can give,
We still have more, cos here it comes, here it comes,
There's a music show,
Hear the distant sound,
As the wild sun,
Meets the sky,

See the smoke rise up,
Through the heavenly clouds,
We're together,
For the day,

We still need more than anyone can give,
We still have more, cos here it comes, here it comes,

I feel so free,
In the easy heat,
As the sun falls,
From the sky,

I feel so right,
In the evening light,
I could stay here,
For the day.

Oh what do children do with these colours so hallow
Yes I know their will is true but their throats hurt to swallow
An orphan will his gruel in a theatre oh so cruel
What do children do

I saw some faces today, they smiled yeah they smiled at me and you
And the bay in the maple trees
Nothing in their faces looked real real real to me and you
I'm gonna keep it with me anyway

What do children do do do
What do children do do do

So when the curtain parts for you
The tiers are full of the laughter
You will come in bloom
I'll be up there somewhere
Just a-hanging from the rafters
I'll be swinging from the rafters for you

And we'll make the movie with Victorian steeples
My heart under all these people
Like a sugar cake can look so good on a china plate
It makes the world seem sweeter now
Mary's on the swings but I'm on the grass
Nothing will pass forever
So give me my coat and hand me my camera

And we'll shoot the film, with the lighting right
A beautiful hymn how I like to remember
The perfect pretender whose movie is about 'bout to begin
Another lovely hymn
And I'm ready now and the show was oh so precious
Oh so precious tonight

[Chorus:]
You must be, a radio station
And who are we, we must be
The number 1 songs, spinning all day long
And over again, and over again, and over again, and never again, and never again
And we know when,
When we call in,
And nothings free,
Sounds to me like,
State run radio

[Verse 1:]
We now interrupt this broadcast,
To bring you a special message about the forecast,
The futures cloudy and it's raining on the poor class,
The roads to peace are closed, and the traffic's on the war paths,
Love is balling on a budget, the military's stressing
We need more cash, to keep fighting for your gas
Keep us in our hoods and hope we never explore pass,
Stay inside of your half, believe the lies you learn in your class,
That there's no treasure in your trash, & the ceiling has the same feeling,
That the floor has, and that's where you should stay,
And this is what they play

[Chorus:]
And over again, and over again, and never again, and never again, and never again
And we know when,
When we call in,
And nothings free,
Sounds to me like,
State run radio

[Verse 2:]
You're now tuned into the weakest,
Frequency of fear, keep you locked right here,
And hope you never leave this, never be a leader,
Think inside the box, and follow all procedures,
Never ever believe that, you will never need this,
Hit up all your friends and tell them to repeat this,
Hi, your on the air, now what you want to hear?
Well we ain't got the truth, but how about a remix,
Different is never good, good is only what we pick,
You ain't got a hit, unless it sounds like these did,
Not too smart you will be a superstar,
And if you dumb or something maybe you could be number one

[Chorus:]
You must be, a radio station,
And who are we, we must be,
The Number 1 songs, spinning all day long,
And you put me, on daily rotation,
You on the air,
We know you're scared,
But we don't care,
Well bleep this here,
And over again, and over again, and over again, and never again, and over again
And you know when,
When we call in,
And nothings free,
Sounds to me like,
State run radio
