I'm looking good, got my shoulders back, A few more drinks, I'm up to dance, I get the eye as I lift my glass, the first time in six months, She looks again I start to shake, My shoulders twitching, I'm on my way, I glance behind me for safety sake, To see a clock the size of a plane, The night is young more fish in the sea, Who's to say she wasn't looking at me? I sink my head back into my glass, Get into shape for that first dance, I turn away, I look to the south, I pull my foot from out of my mouth, To my surprise she's standing beside me Asking if I'd like to dance. I'm standing in a hall of smoke, Her tongues in my mouth, I'd love to choke, Her knight approaches us on foot, He left his side kick at the brook. He offered me a cigarette I said I'm far too young to smoke, So he tried to entertain me, Told me one more crappy... Joke in my ear, except the joke wasn't clear, Set the joking aside should I run? should I hide? Decided to stay, rub it straight in his face, What he thought was the case was an easy mistake. I'd just like to try some carrot cake and wine, Can't I try, taste my carrot cake and wine Looking good, not looking back, Knight of hers took her off to dance, I get the eye as I lift my glass, But not for the last time, She looks again, too drunk to shake, My legs are twitching, my eyes are fake, I glance behind me for safety sake To see my girlfriends tongue in the face of a friend, Who was far from a man, Should I hide? should I run? Must have seen what I've done, Decided to stay, looked her straight in the face, What I thought was the case was an easy mistake. I'd just like to try some carrot cake and wine, Can't I try, taste my carrot cake, Why can't I try? Why should I lie? Taste my, try some, buy my Carrot cake and wine |

The same long faces in the workman's hall,
Caramel crisp counts his birds, Cliff chip's lines up his dominoes, King fisher, lead singer calms his nerves. I'm drinking, sinking, swimming, I'm drowning, working, smirking, learning, I'm burning, sleeping, thieving, cheating, beating, I'm eating, I'm deep in a goldfish bowl. It's sink or swim The hall down town just burned to the ground, My boxing ring turned to ash, Red head ginger bread sells tickets at the door, Stella sleep walks in the sand. I'm drinking, sinking, swimming, I'm drowning, working, smirking, learning, I'm burning, sleeping, thieving, cheating, beating, I'm eating, I'm deep in a goldfish bowl. It's sink or swim They're looking in, they're looking in! Hard up outta luck, time to ride the village bike, A bike been used ten times or more, Grape vine hears the wife lays down her royal flush, I think I've lost another wife. I'm drinking, sinking, swimming, I'm drowning, working, smirking, learning, I'm burning, sleeping, thieving, cheating, beating, I'm eating, I'm deep in a goldfish bowl. It's sink or swim They're looking in, its sink or swim |

She has to wait until he's on his own Lying and Denying so nobody knows I'll tell her this week is what he tells Her to keep her on loan He'll buy her one day Sex drives, oral highs, cheating wife's spouse Cream cakes, coffee days, throwing gifts, goodbye Pass the way for the day had a change of kind Sex change, to mundane for the average mind Oh no, she just can't see Where he is and where he's been Looked prim and straight Like she's always been All that she saved for went missing again She could be, she could be, she could be wrong She could be, she could be, she could be wrong She could be, she could be, she could be wrong It looks like, It looks like, It looks like the worlds gone wrong They found a body in the lake maybe it wasn't really his name Same colour, same weight, same size feet It's the not knowing that kills you Oh no the clocks stopped slow, everytime you're on your own ya' hide from the spies so nobody knows Scratch through the pages on the lazy days news for a clue Still looking for you |

She came from Providence, one in Rhode Island
Where the old world shadows hang, heavy in the air She packed her hopes and dreams, like a refugee Just as her father came, across the sea. She heard about a place, people were smiling Spoke about the red man's way, how they loved the land They came from everywhere, to the Great Divide Seeking a place to stay, or a place to hide. Down in the crowded bars, out for a good time Can't wait to tell you all, what it's like up there They call it Paradise, I don't know why Somebody laid the mountains low, while the town got high. Then the chilly winds blew down, across the desert Through the canyons of the coast, to the Malibu Where the pretty people play, hungry for power Too light their neon ways, give 'em things to do Some rich man came and raped the land, Nobody caught him Put up a bunch of ugly boxes, and Jesus people bought 'em They call it paradise, the place to be They watched the hazy sun, sinking in the sea You can leave it all behind and sail to Lahaina Just like the missionaries did, so many years ago They even brought a neon sign, Jesus is coming They brought the white man's burden down Brought the white man's reign Who will provide the grand design..what is yours and what is mine 'Cause there is no more new frontier, We have got to make it here, To satisfy our endless needs And justify our bloody deeds In the name of destiny, In the name of God And you can see them there, on a Sunday morning Stand up and sing about, what it's like up there They call it Paradise, I don't know why Call some place Paradise, Kiss it goodbye |

Shopping spree for the family tree,
Hhaven't seen your family tree in quite a while! Too many sandwiches and wine, Sherry stains down your best mans tie, What a speech. The band arrives, the granny's cry, Singers tongue's in the barmaids mouth, What a voice. Grandpa drunk a drop or two, His heads still stuck in the portaloo, What a man. You bought a sequin dress for your chicken breast, The disco's late and he's overpaid tonight, You got a diamond ring, And the man who sings, The man who sings made love to the barmaid twice, And that's just tonight The blue rinsed hairs lift up the chairs, The bands too loud they're off down stairs, What a noise. The bride and groom they dance their dance, And the singer mimes "there's still a chance", The barmaid smiles You bought a sequin dress for your chicken breast, The disco's late and he's overpaid tonight, You got a diamond ring, And the man who sings, The man who sings made love to the barmaid twice, And that's just tonight You bought a sequin dress for your chicken breast, The disco's late and he's overpaid tonight, You got a diamond ring, And the man who sings, The man who sings made love to the barmaid twice, Ha! Grandpa drunk a drop or two, His heads still stuck in the portaloo again! The bride and groom they dance their dance. The singer mimes "there's still a chance tonight" and the barmaid smiles |

We all face the same way
Still it takes all day I take a look to my left, pick out the worst and the best She paints her lip, greasy and thick Another mirror stare, and she's going where? Another office affair, to kill an unborn scare? Do you talk dirty to a priest? makes them human at least Is she running away, to start a brand new day? Is she going home? Why's she driving alone? Is anyone going anywhere? Everyone's gotta be somewhere She got a body in the boot, or just bags full of food? Those are model's legs, but are they women's are they men's? She shouts down the phone, missed a payment on the loan She gotta be above the rest, keeping up with the best Is anyone going anywhere? Everyone's gotta be somewhere Waits tables for a crook? Wrote a hardback book? You teach kids how to read? Or sell your body on the street? A nurse without a job? Another uptown snob? But have I got you all wrong? One look and you were gone Is anyone going anywhere? Everyone's gotta be somewhere |

Angie, Angie, when will those clouds all disappear?
Angie, Angie, where will it lead us from here? With no loving in our souls and no money in our coats, You can't say we're satisfied, Angie, Angie, you can't say we never tried, Angie, beautiful, but ain't it time we said good-bye? Angie, I still love you, remember all those nights we cried? All the dreams we held so close seemed to all go up in smoke, Let me whisper in your ear "Angie, Angie, where will it lead us from here?" Oh, Angie, don't you weep, all your kisses still taste sweet, I hate that sadness in your eyes, But Angie, Angie, ain't it time we said good-bye? With no loving in our souls and no money in our coats, You can't say we're satisfied, But Angie, I still love you, baby, Everywhere I look I see your eyes, There ain't a woman that comes close to you, So come on Baby, dry your eyes, Angie, Angie, ain't it good to be alive? Angie, Angie, they can't say we never tried |

September 17th, for a girl I know it's Mothers Day,
Her son has gone alee, and that's where he will stay, Wind on the weathervane, tearing blue eyes sailor mean, As Falstaff sings a sorrowful refrain, for a boy in Fiddler's Green, His tiny knotted heart, well I guess it never worked too good, A timber tore apart, and the water gorged the wood, You can hear her whispered prayer, for men at mass that always lend, The same wind that moves her hair, moves a boy through Fiddler's Green, Nothing's changed anyway, ah nothing's changed anyway, ah anytime, today, He doesn't know a soul, and there's nowhere that he's really been, But he won't travel on alone, no not in Fiddler's Green, Balloons all filled with rain, as children's eyes turn sleepy mean, And Falstaff sings a sorrowful refrain, for a boy in Fiddler's Green |

The car felt good that day I didn't know where i was going But it felt good for a change A five and a pocket full of silver I paid the lady no change And then it started to piss down I started driving again And then i looked up And looked in the mirror behind me A man round forty in the back seat Must have stepped in when I was empty So why's he sat there just waiting Likely to smash my face in He had a bag full of money He said just drive me away I didn't know where I was going Yet it felt good to be strange And still I look up And look in the mirror behind me Curiosity is over He stepped down from the car He pulled a gun out from his jacket Said I was going to die It gives me so much satisfaction To watch you beg and cry Well I just made up this story To get your attention makes me smile I never looked up or looked In the mirror behind me |

You've got a lot of nerve, to say you are my friend,
When I was down, you just stood there grinning, You've got a lot of nerve, to say you've got a helping hand to lend, You just wanna be on the side that's winning, You say I let you down, you know it's not like that, If you're so hurt why then don't you show it? You say you've lost your faith but that's not were it's at, You had no faith to lose, and you know it, I know the reason, that you talk behind my back, I used to be among the crowd your in with, Do you take me for such a fool, to think I would make contact? The one who tries to hide, what you don't know to begin with, You see me on the street, you always act surprised, You say "How are you? Good luck" but you don't mean it, When you know as well as me, you'd rather see me paralyzed, Why don't you just come out once and scream it? No I do not feel that good, I see the heart-breaks you embrace, If I was a master thief, perhaps I'd rob them, And though you're satisfied with your position and your place, Don't you understand it's not my problem? I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes, And just for that one moment I could be you, Yes, I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes, You'd know what a drag it is to see you |

The tax man's taken all my dough,
And left me in my stately home, Lazing on a sunny afternoon. And I can't sail my yacht, He's taken everything I've got, All I've got's this sunny afternoon. Save me, save me, save me from this squeeze. I got a big fat mama trying to break me. And I love to live so pleasantly, Live this life of luxury, Lazing on a sunny afternoon. In the summertime In the summertime In the summertime My girlfriend's run off with my car, And gone back to her ma and pa, Telling tales of drunkenness and cruelty. Now I'm sitting here, Sipping at my ice cold beer, Lazing on a sunny afternoon. Help me, help me, help me sail away, Well give me two good reasons why I oughta stay. 'Cause I love to live so pleasantly, Live this life of luxury, Lazing on a sunny afternoon. In the summertime In the summertime In the summertime Ah, save me, save me, save me from this squeeze. I got a big fat mama trying to break me. And I love to live so pleasantly, Live this life of luxury, Lazing on a sunny afternoon. In the summertime In the summertime In the summertime |

Don't call pretty Peggy, she can't hear you no more,
Don't leave no message, round her back door, They say the old laughing lady, been here before, She don't keep time, she don't count score, You can't have a cupboard, if there ain't no walls, You got to move, there's no time left to stall, They say the old laughing lady, dropped by to call, And when she leaves, she leaves nothing at all, See the drunkard of the village, falling on the street, Can't tell his ankles, from the rest of his feet, He loves his old laughing lady, cause her taste is so sweet, But the laughing lady's loving ain't the kind he can keep, There's a fever on the freeway, blacks out tonight, There's a slipping on the stairway, that don't feel right, There's a rumbling in the bedroom, a flashing of light, There's the old laughing lady, everything is all right, There's the old laughing lady, everything is all right |

Seven day holiday in the rain it's June.
At the time we were playin', ol' me and you. It didn't matter that the sky came down, I never really felt like going out. Seven days watching rain inside with you. Saturday, watched the game, you fried our food. Nothing busy, nothing easy but something you. It didn't matter that we couldn't eat out, my ship sank and my shoes were damp. Seven days hearing rain inside with you. There's always time to complain about the weather, season's change in a day just like each other, but we wait for Summer. Seven day holiday in the rain with you. Lie awake drinking Lady's all that's left to do. Not a sound but the rain on the pale blue roof. It didn't matter that we couldn't sleep out, I never really felt like sleeping rough. Seven day holiday drinking dry with you. There's always time to complain about the weather, season's change in a day just like each other, but we wait for Summer. Seven day holiday in the rain with you.

I drive a truck, it carries money,
And everyday, I dream up my fantasies. Yesterday, I bought my beach house, A little place just off the coast of France. Everyday I think of money, Everyday I think of running. I love my truck, I love my family, Stuck in the back, the good life surrounds me. Could tie my right hand man, and put him some place, Then I?d ditch the truck, and buy a new face. Everyday I think of money, Everyday I think of something. It cant buy you love, cant give you soul, Can pick you up, can down you low. Can drag you out of the hole, You dug, yourself, out of again. Sat in a truck, it it carries convicts, My hands are bound to the seat by handcuffs, Tomorrow, I?ll maybe walk around the yard, Or paint in my cell, and hate imprisonment. Everyday I think of money, Everyday I miss my family |

Wish I could lie in the sun.
The same things as anyone. Wish I could lie down there, with my feet high in the air. I'd have a drink in my hand, read words from a newspaper stand. Wish I could lie in the sun, wish I could fly like everyone. But you burn me up, you paint my skin in bad designs that ain't even in. My skin's crawling up the wall, into the the ocean I'd love to fall. I hear the sounds but they ain't the same as feeling them with you two feet away. There's always more worse of than me, suppose I'm lucky I can even see all the people that I'd like to be passing me by everyday in the street. But you burn me up, you paint my skin in bad designs that ain't even in. I got good lungs, I got a good heart, my mind is fit and my feet can walk. Here I am in the shade on the street, asking people for money to eat. What did I ever do to deserve this? Did I kill a child or something worse? What's the reason, baby make you feel how much more fortunate you are than me. |

He asked me "so where have you been?"
Let me think now let me see. I was stood once where Hitler's feet stood when he made a speech in Nuremburg in '38 when he tried to build a perfect race, he said "black men ain't gonna run alongside our perfect sons." There's Dallas to the library, the place they ended Kennedy. I stood where Oswald took his shot, in my opinion there's a bigger plot. Costners back into the left, the picket fence, the better bet. Paris came and Summer went, the tunnel's now a flower bed. The famous turf to meet Geoff Hurst, vodka stops to quench my thirst. Golden gate stroke Alcatraz, the fat man failed to get us passed. Is Jimmy's corner in Raging Bull, De Niro's jokes and bottled pills. Elvis tales from Mr. Wood. Would any Richard Burton if you could? The tourists stare at tourist stops. One more picture, one more got. Now a top up for a change, it makes you think, it makes you sane. Talking more about yourself, there's a mirror to have a check. Cheques are always passing through, some depart but a lot come too. The restaraunt talk of pick your teeth. You bite your tongue or chew your meat. Sleep to drink or drink to sleep, one more week and we will meet. We talk of what we haven't done since we departed back a month. We argue while we have to shout. All in all, it's nice to be out |

Standing on a rooftop,
Trying to clear my mind, I only came up to look, But now there?s such a crowd. I don?t feel that bad, Cant help but laugh, And they cry out, They say jump, and I say how high? I feel my body blowing, From every side to side, My mind cant help but knowing?br />What it feels like to fly. I don?t feel that bad, Cant help but laugh, And they cry out, They say jump, and I say how high? Say jump and I say I might. And they cry out, And they cry out, Say jump and I say I?ll try, Say jump and I say I?ll say goodbye, Say jump and I say how high? High, fly. Fly. I?m just standing, On the edge of, Something I should try to hide from. I don?t know much but I know something, I need to try and find me a way, Try I always come out fighting, I don?t feel I should deny me. Cant help knowing what is down there, Feels I should fly now for them, I?m fascinated, mis-educated, its reincarnation, Of my imagination, I?m far away, from here today, It?s where I?ll stay if I get my way, It?s lying awake, that makes me sane, But it makes me sick but I cant change again |

I remember the day, I first woke with you, Some days I have to admit, The way we happened to meet, Was strange, because it was new. I?m not drinking no more, Not drinking no less, Not sleeping at all, Never in the same bed, Undressed at the bar, Engraved bench in the park, We?d watch them fly Sundays. Fly, birds round my head again, Laughed at the words you sent, I pushed the boat back to you, I flew from the rain again, Killed you with what I said, You already knew. Not thinking no more, Not drinking no less, Not sleeping at all, Never in the same bed, Undressed at the bar, Engraved bench in the park, We?d watch them fly Sundays. They say if something should fly away, And it comes back to you again, Then it?s yours |

Seven day holiday in the rain, it's June
At the time we were plain old me and you It didn't matter that the sky came down I never really felt like going out Seven days watching rain inside with you Saturday watched the game you fried our food Nothing busy nothing easy but something you It didn't matter that we couldn't eat out My ship sank and my shoes were damp Seven days hearing rain inside with you There's always time to complain about the weather Seasons change in a day just like each other But we wait for summer Seven day holiday in the rain with you Lie awake drinking late is all that's left to do Not a sound but the rain on the pale blue roof It didn't matter that we couldn't sleep out I never really felt like sleeping rough Seven day holiday drinking dry with you There's always time to complain about the weather Seasons change in a day just like each other But we wait for summer Seven day holiday in the rain with you Seven day holiday in the rain with you |

The first time ever I saw your face,
I thought the sun rose in your eyes, And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave, To the dark and endless skies, The first time ever I kissed your mouth, I felt the earth move in my hands, Like the trembling heart of a captive bird, That was there at my command my love, The first time ever I lay with you, I felt your heart so close to mine, And I new our joy would fill the earth, And last 'till the end of time, The first time ever I saw your face, Your face, your face, your face. |

Ever seen a blind man cross the road
trying to make the other side Ever seen a young girl growing old trying to make herself a bride So what becomes of you my love When they have finally stripped you of The handbags and the gladrags That your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy you Once I was a young man and all I thought I had to do was smile You are still a young girl and you bought everything in style so once you think you're in you're out 'cause you don't mean a single thing without the handbags and the gladrags that your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy you Sing a song of six-pence for your sake And drink a bottle full of rye Four and twenty blackbirds in a cake And bake them all in a pie They told me you missed school today So what I suggest you just throw them all away the handbags and the gladrags that your poor old Granddad had to sweat to buy you They told me you missed school today So I suggest you just throw them all away the handbags and the gladrags that your poor old Granddad had to sweat to buy you |

How can I go forward when I don't know which way I'm facing?
How can I go forward when I don't know which way to turn? How can I go forward into something I'm not sure of? Woo, oh no, oh no, How can I have feelings when I don't know if it's a feeling? How can I feel something if I just don't know how to feel? How can I have feelings when my feelings have always been denied? Woo, oh no, oh no, You know life can be long, And you got to be so strong, And the world is so tough, Sometimes I feel I've had enough, How can I give love if I don't know what it is I'm giving? How can I give love when I just don't know how to give? How can I give love when love is something I ain't never had? Woo, oh no, oh no You know life can be long You've got to be so strong And the world she is tough Sometimes I feel I've had enough How can we go forward when we don't know which way we're facing? How can we go forward when we don't know which way to turn? How can we go forward into something that we're not even sure of? Woo, oh no, oh no |

He asked me 'So where have you been?'
Let me think now let me see I was stood once where Hitler's feet stood When he made a speech in Nuremburg in '38 When he tried to build the perfect race he said 'Black men ain't gonna run along side our perfect sons' There's Dallas to the library The place they ended Kennedy I stood were Oswald took his shot In my opinion there's a bigger plot Cost less back into the left, the picket fence, the better bet Paris came and summer went The tunnels now a flower bed. The famous turf that made Geoff Hurst The vodka stops to quench my thirst The Golden Gate stroke Alcatrez The fat man failed to get us passed Is Jimmy's corner in 'Raging Bull' De Niro's jokes and bottle pills Elvis tales from Mr Wood. Would any Richard Burton if you could The tourists stare at tourist stops One more picture one more got Another a top up for a change it makes you think, I makes you sane Talking more about yourself There's a mirror to have a check Checks are always passing through Some depart but a lot come too The restaurant talk of pick your teeth Bite your tongue oh chewy meat' Sleep or drink or drink to sleep One more week and we will meet We talk of what we haven't done Since we departed back a month We argue while we have to shout All in all it's nice to be out |

Its just time for another
Dial me another one When we're leaving with the others Going home sweet home Surprised Someone Put my key into the front door Even quiet but i'm drunk When we're creeping up the old stairs Tripping over the one The one thats done *Now my head has started spinning Spinning round and round Could be your or the man in our bed Or it could be the wine Surprise Still time for another Could dial me another one. But we're leaving with the others Going home sweet home Surprise no one Dropped my keys into the river Singing louder than a drunk But i'm sleeping on the old stairs Staying up to the sun Down another one *Repeat Still time for another Dial me another one And we're leaving with the the others Going home sweet home Surprise no one |
