One of those days in England that you said could never end As I was crashed out, livin' every chance One of those days in England we've been saving up to spend Buying rides on Mother Nature's funny belly dance
My love, it seems, so long away Since when we both, together, lay And yet it's only yesterday Dreamin' of tomorrow, My love, there's no today My love, my love
One of those days in England with the country goin' broke And Sunday's joint is cooking in my tree One of those days in England chompin' baked beans in my coat Tell me when it matters, love, I might just wanna get out of bed to see
The lentil in my garland, let's get down and make some fun There's really nothin' better we can do One of those days in England and our love has just begun Half the fun in fallin' is you don't care where it's to
My love, it seems, so long away Since when we both, together, lay And yet it's only yesterday Dreamin' of tomorrow, My love, there's no today My love, my love Today, my love Today You make my love to you My love, to you My love, to you My love, to you Make my love to you To you, to you, to you
Well the generations come Hoy-polloy or chewing gum Bad manners in style And a very low profile As the new wave rebel hoards Scribble balls on notice boards And the old wave hierarchy Try to take 'em seriously Because they have to Ten years ago we were dreaming Upstart youth and rebels all Who have faded to the wall Counting points of social scale While our water brother whale Meets extinction on the seas On a million wounded knees While the taxman robs the poor Like he's always done before Whatever system Ten years ago we were dreaming Dreams There are men employing men Employing men employing men Employing men employing men Who fill in forms employing men That forms a queue of paperwork Clear stretching out into the mirk So that nine-tenths don't produce Holding ransom calling truce And looking dangerous Ten years ago we were dreaming No change
I was the master's best friend He was the only man I knew It's been a tall harvest And he turned us all on two but my lips are sealed by history And my tale I cannot tell My name is Judas Iscariot My home address is Hell
So baby don't you grieve after me No no no, don't you grieve after me So baby don't you grieve after me No no no, don't you grieve after me
Baby you don't grieve for me when I'm here Don't grieve for me when I'm gone.
It was two hours gone midnight When he called me to his side He said, hey Jude, I need you boy, I need you to take a ride. I want you to tell those guys down town My time's almost due But wait a minute Jude don't stick around 'Cos no body's gonna love you
Now you've got all the silver But no forgiveness in your heart And I've got 20 feet of rope To end just where? Your guessing game starts. I've got endless books to write you But my tale I cannot tell The only way you're living is If you're living in the same Hell.
The kettle's on, the sun has gone, another day She offers me Tibetan tea on a flower tray She's at the door, she wants to score She dearly needs to say
I loved you a long time ago, you know Where the wind's own 'Forget me nots' blow But I just couldn't let myself go Not knowing what on earth, there was to know
But I wish that I had 'cause I'm feeling so sad That I never had one of your children Then across the room, inside the tomb, a chance has waxed and waned The night is young, why are we so hung up in each other's chains?
I must take her and I must make her while the dove domains And feel the juice run as she flies Run my wings under her sighs as the flames of eternity rise To lick us with the first born lash of dawn
Oh, really, my dear, I can't see what we fear Sat here with ourselves in between us And at the door, we can't say more than just another day And without a sound I turn around and I walk away
Take a look down your highway Tell me what d'you see Well if you're down my way It could well be me Stood on your corner I'm nearly down on one knee Can you hear me calling for you So damn easy to see And it can't be forever And it won't be for long So don't you think that it's better We speak the same tongue Out here in this weather We must surely belong Birds of a feather Whatever the song: Please give me a lift man It can't be for far The way that you shift man In your empty car, I've got the highway blues In my holy (holey, wholly) shoes And I cannot choose What I look like And I got here from yesterday On porridge and bait Swallowing sorrow Following fate Poaching tomorrow From God and the state Of homo his shadow The well known long haired straight But I've got a good reason For being this way I'm happy for certain And hoping to stay Travelling trust Across the new day Gathering dust Down your highway Please give me a lift man... It can't be for far The way that you shift man In your empty car I've got the highway blues In my holy shoes And I cannot choose What I look like Out on the streets Or where my drum beats In between the clean sheets Of my love life And I need little Margaret Out here again Screwing some traffic From the shaven insane With thumbs like a dragnet She pulls like a train And she looks like a magnet; And she comes like a warm rain Please give me a lift man, etc
I never know what kind of day it is on my battlefield of ideals But the way she touches and the way it feels, must be just how it heals Ah but it's got a little better since I let her sundance
I never know what time of year it is living on top of the fire But the robin outside has to hunt and hide in the cold frosty shire Ah but he knows just what goes in between his cold toes and his warm ears And he's got no disguise in his eyes for his love as she nears
He spreads her a shelter She takes the tall skies As they helter skelter Along the same sighs
And she wakes my days with a glad face She fakes and says I'm a hard case She makes and plays like a bad ace Carrying my ways into scarred space And she knows me well Ah but what the hell Only time can tell, where we're going to
Me and my woman Me and my little woman
And the Lord speaks out and the pigpens fawn The sword slides out and the nations mourn The hoard strides out and the chosen spawn The devil rides out and the heavens yawn And he knows me well Ah but what the hell Only time can tell, where we're going to
Me and my woman Me and my woman Me and my little woman
What a lovely day What a day to play at living What a mess we make What a trust we break Not giving our wings to our children O how we fail them O how we nail them
Sunset my colour And king is my name Darkness she's my lover And we live in shame
Too far away From the light of the day And so near, and so near, near Can i break through the silence that has taken my place On the plains of the morning that i just could not face
Asking you these questions telling you these lies Enveloping directions Developing disguise Open to suggestions But closed to all my eyes
Dead on arrival, right where I stand Dead on arrival, right where I stand Dead on arrival, right where I stand
Space is just an ashtray Flesh is my best wheel The atmosphere's my highway And the landscape's my next meal I need my own Good Friday And I'm trying my best to fix the deal
Dead on arrival, right where I stand Dead on arrival, right where I stand Dead on arrival, right where I stand Dead on arrival, right where I stand
I am the new crowned landlord Of all beneath my star Queuing up for doomsday In my homesick motor car Born before my mother Died before my Pa
Dead on arrival, right where I stand Dead on arrival, right where I stand Dead on arrival, right where I stand Dead on arrival, right where I stand
The cuckoo, she moves through the dawn fanfare The dew leaves the rooves in the magic air Feel a finger running through my nightmares lair Feel most together with my nowhere stare and you know me well Ah but what the hell Only time can tell, where am I going to
Me and my woman Me and my little woman Me and my woman Me and my little woman
I thought I heard the sound of my name and I looked back down behind me And with hair like the ripened wheat she came, sure as the west wind to find me And just for a moment I wished my life to see our friends all around us And I turned to her but I held my breath in the far Norwegian mountains.
For there we stood two children of spring as everything seemed to be gleaming Her looking breathless clean out of my mind and me with my crazy dreaming To think of my friends underneath the same roof in one common destination When all we do is remain aloof like we have no close relation.
And love is my torment and I'll take when I can But I'll give in the moment when you are my woman and I am your man.
And I watched her makin' her first daisy chain as her nipples hung hard in suggestion And naked, gnat-bitten we drifted fain in the hazy deserved sensation And we dreamt of all the loves we'd known and we never never thought of the sorrow With forelocks wound over primrose down in the wood by the emptin long barrow
Two silver greenflies to flicker the backdropping, lush of the emerald springtime To lust for a moment in love of another is dust on a dragonfly's wing.
And love is no torment for we'll give when we can And we'll live in the moment when you are my woman and I am your man.
And the blackcap sings and the forest rings, the nettles tall around me With shafts of sun and moving things and poems fast and slowly And fantasies of luscious thirst for new lust and fresh waters to seek it Like diamonds set in realities of skies drawn back in secret
But somewhere out there with my heart in her care and her prayers in the breezes that caught them She sits like the earth as I fly to her arms like the showering yellows of autumn
And love is no torment for we'll give when we can And we'll live in the moment when she is my woman and I am her man.
Plastic money flexidream And comfort for the preacher Keep the debtor out of prison Borrowing the future How much future can he borrow How much past can he forget When now's become part of tomorrow Just a flashy fast advertisement That talks about beginning At the end. You imagine You can change the world And you're right It's happening right here and now Tonight tonight. Relief for hungry children Is nothing but a symptom Of accelerated ignorance Unaware of how a world Forcloses on invading circumstance And brings a new beginning All at once You imagine You can change the world And you're right It's happening right here and now Tonight tonight. Where ice and desert travels And the scale of justice levels And the house that silly jack built While forgetting ages cycling Is crushed inside a moment he forgot There'll be a new beginning Thanks a lot You imagine You can change the world And you're right It's happening right here and now Tonight tonight.
I walk in your footsteps love When you're not even there You fly me in my fleeting steps Towards the dreams we share I'll be with you till the time itself Is overstretched and breaks For I will be in love with you For longer than it takes I love myself as I love you As time will surely tell I love you better for the way You love yourself as well I'll be with you till time itself Is overstretched and breaks For I will be in love with you For longer than it takes You don't know the times I've cried The purest simple joy I met a girl who took me in I could never destroy She feels my pleasures and my pains She gives more than she's got I'll never be worthy of that No matter what Through all my barbed wire Through my fury's blackest hour She bursts the bubbling rages That built the ivory tower Through all my barriers My anger and despair I've got a friend to turn to and She's always there
Through the window Just a wall Shapes are forming Blackbirds call Early morning spirits Moving hands Tick-tocking ages In the half-light of the still Before the lark Where I can feel my shadow Touch your silence In the dark Sleeping at the wheel Reaching for oceans before us For us to feel Together, tonight Playing eagle Firing eyes Ever willing Sweet surprise Welling in the belly Of their chase Tracing out the angel In the half-light on your face Before the lark Where I can feel my shadow Touch your silence, In the dark Sleeping at the wheel Reaching for oceans before us For us to feel Together, tonight Then suddenly I hear you say "Time to get up It's gone midday, Cup of tea love" And I realise I must have dropped off Drifted into dream before the lark Yielded to the ether of our secret world In the dark
They shall not grow old, as we are left grow old Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn At the going down of the sun, and in the morning We will remember them
They built a wall boys, it stayed up for thirty years We've torn it down now, clattering round their ears You know how it is, with spirit(s), They just couldn't hold us Brothers and sisters
The world you died for, was all but a pack of lies It had to fall down, and keep on falling You gave us the world they promised you, And in the morning We are the flowering We are the flowering youth Berliners
Dung Xiaoping What's in your head Tearing your people's ideas Into a shread Helmut What's in your head Cracks in the pavement Watch where you tread (Margaret What's in your head Trying to shaft us with poll tax We shaft you instead) Mikhail When we are old We'll remember the time You came in from the cold Human What'll it be A flash in the pan Or eternity In the winds of change
If it was right to be believing, And write his name in blood And then I met him when I died, Well I'd have it out with god But if it means Degrading scenes And sanctioning crusade I'd know we couldn't stand man to man Without feeling afraid If it was wrong for not believing, In fairytale facade And then I met him when I died, Well I'd apologise to dog But if it meant I went down on my knees Well where's the spirit gone Where's the love you're all talking of When you can't stand man to man? Man to man When you can't stand man to man. I find it hard to believe, In these 'gospels' that I've heard The forked tongue of the bible belt, The ayatollah's word I don't believe most anything Spoken by anyone As hell's fanatic paranoids Fire heaven's loaded gun If it was right to be believing, Then it must be in this That difference is beautiful, And living it is bliss, There are no teams There is no side That life on earth is done By living the love you're only talking of By standing man to man Man to man
