100 mile high city
Falling to the floor
Everybody’s in it
Falling to the floor

Will I ever find some peace of mind
Ever in the world

Baby he’s a crying
On his mother’s knee
Bankers they’re a lying
Dealt us to our knees

Will we ever find some peace of mind
Ever please

Take us to the doctor
But the doctor makes mistakes
Take us to the lawyers
But the lawyers over-paid
Take you anywhere
Where you can show your face to the world

100 mile high city
Falling to the floor
Everybody’s in it
Falling to the floor

Will I ever find some peace of mind again
Ever in the world

Baby he’s a screaming
Papers they’re agreeing
I can see no reason
Should be screaming treason
Will we ever find no peace of mind
Ever in the world

When I'm waiting standing on the corner
And it's coming 40 past the hour
In the midnight lonely freezing hour
With my insides churning in the gutter
And I'm waiting 40 past midnight
Catching rain the soda light
Won't you come & call me to your window
Please don't leave me waiting on the corner
We could have the best time
If you lighten up your life
With my pockets holey in the inside
With my bus ride rolling in the gutter
But if you would only light your lamp light
Then I would be here than any other
Well I'm waiting 40 past midnight
Catching cold in the pouring rain
Won't you come & take me to your door
So I can take myself home again
When I'm waiting standing on the corner
And the soda light begins to flicker
And it's getting 40 past the hour
And I think I won't see what I figure
Well I'm waiting freezing on the inside
Staring up at your window pane
If you won't come see me this evening
I can see myself here again

You told so many lies
Your tongue is black with fireflies
But you spit them out and pretend you're sneezing
And every word is such a joke
With so many pasts you'd be ninety years old
Don't you wonder why the room keeps on leaving

Hey, hey - what's that I heard you say
Don't think that I would never need it
Hey, hey - what's that I heard you say
Don't think that I would ever believe it

It's just a thought and nothing more
That all your thoughts and moves are taught
And memorised each night before your sleeping
And every word is such a joke
Strung from neon masts flying flags you hope
Will win you friends and give your life some meaning

(Repeat chorus)

You told so many lies
Your tongue is stained with alibis
You've been around the world and found it pleasing
And every word is such a joke
With so many pasts you'd be a hundred years old
Don't you wonder why the room keeps on leaving

(Repeat chorus)

Spark and Cindy live by their own means
They wouldn't have if I only
know'd where they'd been
And I want to make things a part of my life
And I want to see that
things are going to be right
But if you can't even
stand on your feet
And if you don't own the
air that you breathe
Then it's not for me to say

But I wouldn't live that way
and I wouldn't stand apart
And I wouldn't find the real
and I wouldn't play a part
And I wouldn't find in love
so misguided by some fool
And just what I'm trying t say
makes my head spin round the room

(Repeat from 3rd line onwards)

Had another dream oh yeah
The play was rolling slowly
Had another dream oh yeah
But I could not see you only
Just hold me
‘Cos lying in your arms it's you I have
Yeah lying in your arms it's you I have

This is another time to stay
This is another time to stay
Though it don’t think my dreams will see the day

All of us bring a smile
Mine’s broken, please stay

Had another dream oh yeah
The play was rolling slowly
Had another dream oh yeah
But I did not see you only
Just hold me
‘Cos lying in your arms it's you I have
Yeah lying in your arms it's you I have

This is another time to stay
This is another time to stay
Though it don’t think my dreams will see the day

All of us bring a smile
All of us bring a smile
All of us bring a smile
Mine’s broken, please stay

This is another time to stay
This is another time to stay

Your dream make up is cracked and wearing thin
your eyes are on your chin
it's getting hard for you
But to make up is only make-believe
and we don't need a scene like this

Whatever happened to the Beautiful Losers
Whatever happened to the Beautiful Losers

Your eyes closed and dreamed of places
that you and I would go
it's getting hard for me
To love you, like I used to
I don't believe "hello"
Do you?

Besides Yourself
Before I let you all go
Before I pull you from this show
Before I wave to you
I'd like to say to you
I wish you never to be alone

*Besides yourself what can you say
Millions apart and miles away
Besides yourself what do you need
Some feel no pain while others bleed

So if you're going to save my words
Make sure it's this time you deserve
Before I walk away
I know your every day
Will play before you on it's own

*Repeat

And I'm not saying I'm not saying any wrong by you
And I'm not saying I'm not talking my time for you

Sonny signed his name up for tomorrow
And laughed with all this friends
At all the little men who borrow tunes
They heard just yesterday
Davey got us down but we got away
And drank to all the days
That we had whiled away
Just playing Robin Hood a little out of phase
And then the nightmares come
And you get blown away
(when your friends go away, on last chorus)

And up in your room your walls are cold
You find your head is holding out
For the welcome of a better day
And then the nightmares come
And you get blown away
And up in your room
Your walls are getting colder
Like you're getting on a roller coaster
You can't find the breaks
Stevie burned the sky when he flew away
And left us things to say
When all the world was falling down
Around our shoulders; cold and grey
Harry carried on in his usual way
And Minnie went inside
He came out once and we both cried
And Minnie blew my head away


When you're giving everything away
Everybody lets you pay
You're saving up for a better day
Seeing things in a better way
When you know you've got to live
There's nothing you won't give
To hear the phone and not let it ring
Every Monday morning
Shughie found love and he almost cried
We laughed and wondered why
We loved the sky and found the space
And gazed out over Stevie's plane

I don't want to be another big star
Picking at your cars
Stealing at your clothes
Finding out what you don't know
You don't know

I don't want to be your big star
Picking your calls; saying I don't know
I don't want to be your suitor
Lacking at your feet
Trying to love the things you need

And you know I've heard this before
And you know I've heard it some more
Won't you give me a chance
To break down your door
But I sit
Oh Oh
I still sit here

I don't want to be a tailor
Pricking at your thumb
Washing all the tears away
Some words
Oh no I believe they don't feel you
Picking up your dirt
Washing all your dreams away

*Repeat

Up through all the streets you go
But little girl don't find her name
And we're all gone down roads to homes
Where everybody finds their game

Just behind the street she goes
Where she'll be found behind her wheel
Cos it's the only place she knows
That makes her know just how she feels

Cos you're the biggest thing
That I see
You've got me where you want me
You hunt me down, you haunt me
And beg me to believe

All too fast to where she goes
But who'll be first to find her name
And holding on in Hollywood
But holding on don't make the grade

Just about when it's allright
There's you and I : we'll find our way
But it's holidays not Hollywood
And holidays don't suit my game.

Cos you're the biggest thing
That i see
You've got me where you want me
You hunt me down and haunt me
And beg me to believe

Hollow days and hollow nights
But everyone they find their way
It hightlights you when things ain't right
And makes you want to find your place

Cos you're the biggest thing
That i see
You've got me where you want me
You hunt me down, you haunt me
And beg me to believe

Cos you're the biggest thing
That i see
You've got me where you want me
You hunt me down,you haunt me
And beg me to believe

Free blue deep ocean
Bed of evolution
Forgive the ignorance
Of man with money in his hand

How can we freely agree
I hang my head for you

I want more than me and you
The more I want the more it scares me
I will put my faith in you
won't you be my missionary
I can't ... can't get back to the baseline
Had too much of waiting up
Had too much of things I tell you
It's the only way and it's love
Fill my cup oh I've said too much
I can't... can't get back to the baseline (2x)
I've been on freight train buzz
So I'm trying to tell you
the only thing I need is your love
But I can't...(4x)
I can't back to the baseline
It's the way of feeling good
It is all that's necessary
I guess that it's from above
I'm no fool but I guess too much
I can't... can't get back to the baseline (2x)
(Repeat chorus)
Fare you well and I will choose
When I've found it I will tell you
I belong to the same as you
won't you be my missionary
I can't... can't get back to the baseline (2x)

No-one promised this when I was a kid
When my days were filled with carousels
Fairground rides and cockleshells
Kicking pebbles on a beach
When time couldn't reach me
And tears were just a memory left to be learned

Now days catch me without an overcoat
Five o'clock shoes full of snow
All rained out, nowhere to go

Memories are sure to find you
No matter how fast you run
Gonna catch up with you

Charlie Brown says
Oh this winter sure sure gets me down
When there ain't no friends around

No-one promised this when I was a kid

When there ain't no friends around

I went down to Chelsea Walk
Where the sun doesn't shine at all
And I went looking for something for me
But I came back with nothing at all
Except an old man who could not see
But he said that he knew God
Chelsea Walk
Oh... Chelsea Walk
Oh... Chelsea Walk

Now I've been down to Chelsea Walk
Where the sun just refuses to shine
And I ran back to my little room
And I jumped straight into a bottle of wine
You know I'll be alright for just a day
But tomorrow I must wake
Chelsea Walk
Oh... Chelsea Walk
Oh... Chelsea Walk

Old man I must be on my way
Don't you worry I'm just scared for those who pray
In Chelsea Walk
Oh... Chelsea Walk
Oh... Chelsea Walk

Chelsea Walk...

She knew all the answers
That I have to say
Taking all her chances
And never seem to pay

It's the risk you're taking
To see it time to time
She is not for changing
But you are all for trying

Now come home, come home
She is dying to meet you
So I'll have to greet you
Come home, come home
She is dying to meet you
So I'll have to greet you

She is cool in high brow
And you're not society
She is going places
Where you never are to be

It's the risk you're taking
To see her all the time
It's a game your playing
Keeps you hanging on her line

Well come home, come home
She is dying to meet you
So I'll have to greet you
Come home, come home
She is dying to meet you
So I'll have to greet you

She is far away now
Goes to a store and buys
You were left behind here
In your room you'll sit and die

It's a risk you're taking
Seeing her time to time
She is not for changing
But you were still for trying

Now come home, come home
She is dying to meet you
So I'll have to greet you
Come home, come home...

Cool cool water where I rest my head
You keep me running to a single bed
Yellow moon rising on the riverboat wild
You keep me running like a child

Yellow moon rising on the riverboat wild
You keep me running like a child

Bobby don't know
He's got a funny way of seeing situations
Call him on the phone
And ain't it funny but he never seems to come home

Bobby don't know
He's got a funny way of seeing situations
Call him on the phone
Ain't it strange that he never seems to go home

(Repeat first verse)

Cool cool water where I rest my head

Well i got a problem
and it just won't wait
I've been getting on one
With the man who guards your gate
When he says you're sleeping
In your hideaway
It is what he's keeping back
That gives your game away
Come quit your crazy lowdown ways
You're walking astray
Come quit your weary worn out ways
You're walking astray

And i'd like to say
That i like this
More than i do today

Yes i' got a problem
like you've never seen
I've been getting bothered
By the man who locks your screen
When he says you're hiding
And in your room you'll stay
It is what he's holding back
That says what he can't say

Come quit your crazy lowdown ways
You're walking astray
Come quit your weary worn out ways
You're walking astray

And i'd like to say
That i like this
More than i do today

I'm just a lazy man
Who has to hear the truth
And i hear what's true from you

Come quit your crazy lowdown ways
You're walking astray
Come quit your weary worn out ways
You're walking astray
Come quit your crazy lowdown ways
Come quit your weary worn out ways
You're walking astray

And i'd like to say
That i like this
More than i do today

Got a good reason
for taking the easy way out
Got a good reason
for taking the easy way out now
She was a day tripper
One way driver, yeah
It took me so long to find out
and I found out

Tried to please her
She only played one night stand

She only played one night stand, now
She was a day tripper
Sunday driver, yeah
It took me so long to find out

Never saw it as the start its more a change of heart
Rapping on the windows, whistling down the chimney pot
Blowing off the dust in the room where I forgot
I laid my plans in solid rock

Stepping through the door like a troubadour whiling just an hour away
Looking at the trees on the roadside feeling its a holiday.

You and I should ride the coast and wind up in our favourite coats just miles away.
Roll a number, write another song like
Jimmy heard the day he caught the train
Ooooh la la
Ooooh la la
Ooooh la la
Ooooh la

He sips another rum and coke and told a dirty joke
Walking like Groucho sucking on a number 10
Rolling on the floor with the cigarette burns walked in
I missed the crush and I'm home again
Stepping through the door with the night in store whiling just an hour away
Step into the sky in the starbright feeling its a brighter day.

You and I should ride the coast and wind up in our favourite coats just miles away.
Roll a number, write another song like
Jimmy heard the day he caught the train
Ooooh la la
Ooooh la la
Ooooh la la
Ooooh la

You and I should ride the tracks and find ourselves just wading through tomorrow
and you and I when we're coming down we're only getting back
And you know I feel no sorrow.

Ooooh la la
Ooooh la la
Ooooh la la
Ooooh la la

When you find that things are getting wild don't you want days like these.
When you find that things are getting wild don't you need days like these
When you find that things are getting wild don't you need days like these
When you find that things are getting wild don't you need days like these I say
Ooooh la la
Ooooh la la

Daylight wake me and it awakes me with you
All of the faces and all of the places are you
Getting home and feeling glad
Feeling love and love is mad
So daylight wakes me' daylight wakes me
Daylight wake me now I'm ready to come
All of the faces and all of the places are done
Getting home and feeling high
Feeling love and love is life
So daylight wakes me
Daylight wakes me

She nails down moon beams
And talks in double time
Stumbling down to where ever she goes
I live in the meantime
And i get frustrated
So I put my wager on Debris Road

It keeps me running down Debris Road
]I'm not so scared but its something I cling to
All the places I wanna go
They wont cast a shadow on my Debris Road

I get frustrated looking for meanbeams
They always fall where I never go
'Cos I like the daylight and I like a good life
Running so fast down Debris Road

(Repeat Chorus)

Someone got moonfaced and someone gets tearful
Talking so much they really dont know
Staying up all night singing songs till daylight
And striking a match with the devil below

(Repeat Chorus)

She nails down moon beams
And talks in double time
Stumbling down to wherever she goes
I live in the meantime
And I get frustrated
So I put my wager on Debris Road

It keeps me running down Debris Road
I'm not scared but it's somewhere I cling to
All the places I (still) wanna go
They won't cast a shadow on my Debris Road

I get frustrated looking for moonbeams
They always fall where I never go
'Cause I like the daylight and I like a good life
Running so fast down Debris Road

Talking so much that they really don't know
Sitting up all night singing songs 'till daylight

Isolated junkyard
Letting out the garbage
Eating through the core of life
Sweet fragrance irritates
In a stale room death awaits
Persecute your own self pride
Suffocate the new high
Ride a thorny mule that cries
Dig your grave and jump right in
Like a Judas pay the price
Thirty pieces for a ride
Here's the fire now take a chew
Do yourself a favour
Educate your mind
Get yourself together
Oh there ain't no time
Do yourself a favour
Educate your mind
Get yourself together
Oh there ain't no time

Shredded know-how gives away
Species of the human race
Those funky winds of ups and downs
Hall of grit is known too well
Heaven still is your hell
Poison slowly slowly drowns
Let the devil step right in
Lucifer's your only friend
Ain't a soul gonna pity you
Hurdle over time to death
With open arms it waits I bet
Don't you wish you could reach ground
Do yourself a favour
Educate your mind
Get yourself together
Oh there ain't no time
Do yourself a favour
Educate your mind
Get yourself together
Oh there ain't no time
Let the devil step right in
Lucifer's your only friend
Ain't a soul gonna pity you
Hurdle over time to death
With open arms it waits I bet
Don't you wish you could reach ground
Do yourself a favour
Educate your mind
Get yourself together
Oh there ain't no time
Do yourself a favour
Educate your mind
Get yourself together
Oh there ain't no time

I'll check my hair, and get my shoes
See my face, it's nothing new
There's no-one here when there's no-one there
So much you go for but no-one cares
Don't get me high don't get me fooled
Don't get me wrong on nights with you
The locks are cold when there's no-one there
I'd make them a bit stronger but we don't care

Ba ba ba ba, ba ba baa

You still don't care but if you had to choose
Something so small could break this in two
People like to say "people get stronger"
Just before they fall out of their heads
"Breaking up can make things seem much longer"
Tell you "what you give is what you get"

Ba ba ba ba, ba ba baa

And what you need is what we share
When we go home and it's just not there

Ba ba ba ba, ba ba baa
Ba ba ba ba, ba ba baa

You drive the away the best of you
It's all that's left to say
You leave me with the rest of you
You've made it on your way
I need a call to say from you
Just before you go
The more that I've been close with you
The door was always closed

Drive away and all, there's nothing you should say
Drive away and all, we're travellers anyway

Get on up and straight you go
There's nothing left to say
Begging's not my place you know
You wouldn't hear it anyway
'Cos all the days I begged you stay
I saw it made you blind
There's more than I can really say
What it is that traps you all inside

Drive away and all, there's nothing you should say
Drive away and all, we're travellers anyway

You made it all get so uptight
I made it in between
You went and wronged all the rights
Then you hid behind your screen
You're headed where I just don't know
I think you've gone inside
I hope the world looks good from there
Well I hope it looks all right

We never made it all the way
We never made it all the way
You take the best of you
I keep the rest of you

Drive away and all, there's nothing you should say
Drive away and all, we're travellers anyway

Emily Chambers would make it pay
Everyone knew she'd turn out that way
She turned her back and she'll be okay
But she's not okay at all

Every night with the radio on
Emily fears that the day won't come
The moon is there to do her harm
She's not all right at all

Don't get arrested
Don't buy a machine gun
You're on the run
And you're not on the scene
You're not so cool
And you're not a jerk
You may be a villain
But no Patty Hearst
You're Emily Chambers
And what's worse
Is a whipping wind
And a box in a hearse
And a trigger in your head
And a pen in your hand
And the pain in the verse
And the flat drying land
And the thin of the air
And a pain that hurts
You're Emily Chambers in the universe

Repeat first verse

Every night with the lamplight on
Emily fears that the day has gone
The moon is there to do her harm
She's not all right at all

Repeat chorus

Emily Chambers would make it pay
Everyone knew she'd turn out that way...

I got a better love, got a whole new prose
Got a whole new goal
And I gonna find love, I’m gonna fall in love
And it makes me cold
And I gotta move my heels, gotta move outta here
Gotta change my lane
And I, I commend you now, yes, I told you soon
So that you’d know now

That at times, everything comes at the right time
And at times, everything comes at the right time

I, never understand, never understand
With this pain in my hand
And I cut my home, yes I cut my home
When I need to go
And I know your face, know it aches
And I know it’s sad
Oh I, quit that scene ‘cos I could not see
Just where to be

'Cos at times, everything comes at the right time
And at times, everything comes at the right time

Yes I got a better love, got a big part of love
And it makes me whole
Oh I yes I play with love, yes I play with love
And it’s playing with me

But at times, everything comes at the right time
And at times, everything comes at the right time
And at times, everything comes at the right time

Come on over to my side now
Come on over to my side now
Come on over to my side now

mother and stan don't
blame yourself for rose
she was out there
playing in the road
better to let her know
not to forget
all that schooling goes
right through their head

they take back all when
and you give them loving
fall you to your knees
then give back nothing
but looking through love
you know there's
something so real

father and son you're
in this one so deep
I could always lull
myself to sleep
but I will cry to let
you always know
all my life I need
your time to grow

I fell in love on the street again
It’s a love that is wrong
Tramp the floor with my feet again
I’ve been walking so long

Can anyone really tell you
Does anyone really know
I fell in love on the street again
You can guess they said no

Time runs out of time
A time to walk a time to run
But I ran out of time
Love on the street is no fun

I roamed between a hundred hotel rooms
A hundred numbers on the doors
I sang a song with the bedroom queens
I sang in tune with them all

The brilliance of my fleeting mind
Chimes like voices in foreign cars
It chimes in time - takes me where I'm going
Alone my fleeting mind is knowing
Believe it when I pin it down
And that's not hard to forget
With my hands upon my knees
You will steal from my fleeting mind
Remember all our words
They are just smoke rings in the rain:
That's just a poem in brilliant places
But poets, they are too grim
They steal like party thieves
From crowded rooms
To rhyme their homes with better places
The brilliance of their minds
Will seek with never knowing
Alone my fleeting mind is knowing
Believe it when I pin it down
And that's not hard to forget
With my thought like sifting leaves
I believe in my fleeting mind

Fly me, my hands are free
Won't you fly me

(???) what you're dreaming of
Write it down and look above
For something that will tell you I watch you
I'm looking for to do

Won't you fly me, my hands are
Won't you fly me


Picture floating in a silent row
Crying out for those who've never learnt
That life is just a story you pass through
While dreaming what to do

Won't you fly me
Won't you please fly me
Won't you please fly me

Won't you fly me...

Bus stop stretching out before
All along the High Street wall
'Til your eyes can't see no more
Early evening in sunlight
Turns the world to shine so bright
Like a blind man given sight
Like a million neon lights
This old town won't let me go
It's got my feet it's in my soul
There is no going back it's just forward now
The silver screen it sees my gaze
I try to look beyond the haze
I could forgive it everything is true
Just take me with you too
Out upon the empty floor
The lone dancer spinning on
Throwing caution to the wall
There's a sign behind the door
Says for dancers only sure
And the lone dancer she knows
She can never be lonely
This old town tells you to stay
Then you know you ain't getting away
There is no going back it's just forward now
These haunted halls play melodies
So sweet and tender on life's breeze
I could forgive it everything is true
Just take me with you too

I think everybodys after me
They want to know just what I feel
Pushing wires under my nose
Everybody's standing on my toes
Telling the world what i should know

You said you'd seen life from near the floor
You opened every closing door

Thankyou for always being there
All the nights in which we shared
And we know we're always there

If it ever gets you down
You know I'll always be around
Coz too much just aint enough

(whistle)

We - we who are your property
Whose every single move you see
We dont mind your prying eyes
We dont mind all your lies
Or the headlines that you write

Come my way Oh I say before you go
Tie my laces and chain me sound below
Hold my side God must be feeling so cold
It’s all my deepest I see them there they go

Free my name just give me love
Free my name just give me loving now

I’ll give my day’s report and send you them intact
It’s just like yesterday but now I’m screaming tired
And now you’re really saying this house is not my home
So if you wake me I will not sleep alone

Free my name just give me love
Free my name just give me love
Free my name just give me loving now

Come my way oh I say before you go
Tie my laces and chain me sound below
Hold my side God must be feeling so cold
It’s all my deepest I see them there they go

Come my way Oh I say before you go
Tie my laces and chain me sound below
Hold my side God must be feeling so cold
It’s all my deepest I see them there they go

Free my name just give me love
Free my name just give me loving now

I’ll give my day’s report and send you them intact
It’s just like yesterday but now I’m screaming tired
And now you’re really saying this house is not my home
So if you wake me I will not sleep alone

Free my name just give me love

Come my way Oh I say before you go
Tie my laces and chain me sound below
Hold my side God must be feeling so cold
It’s all my deepest I see them there they go

Well I used to be a listener - there was nothing left to get
About what you are and what you haven't been yet
and some of them like to tell a story that is long and old
and couch it in indifference and the wine
that they were sold to get away
Well someone's got to tell them that its not deserved,
rehearsed or written down by playwrights over time
just picking up on a nerve.
And some of them got a difference that they reserve for you
Well I like them all but I don't trust any of them
well shouldn't you, just get away
Well I used to think my freedom was a lot of things I'd give,
demanding on my time but I had so much time to give,
and I used to think that everything was a knee in what you are.
But finding out the truth that hurts
so I never went that far
I always get away
Well it comes down to the fact that I'm now different from the past,
demanding all my ideals its just trying to make them last,
and some of the things that you say they're ringing home so true,
I hang my head out of the door and I follow you,
yes I follow you and get away

Get Blown Away
And when she blows the candle flame to smoke
She says a prayer for all of those who live in houses and in homes
And Monday she'll go down town standing naked in the road
You may know what I am
But who I am you don't know

She'll run across the mustard dust sand
Scream down the wind
And the sea is in a cold
Like when in holiday homes
And houses like sweet confectionary
And sandcastles and drinking wine
Hungry dinners perfectly timed

And mother and father glowing young
Happy to be each other together
When she blows the candle out
She goes to bed and lies and drags through her head
The day that went way of every day
But tomorrow she'll fly a plane
Over the fields where the houses aren't built yet

She smiled sweetly across the room
Through the lunch time smoke
And I loved her for a second
And discarded the queen and I know
How sweetness turns sour
And leaves they turn to brown
And then to earth and dust
And settle in this town
You get blown away...

(Repeat 1st Half)

She smiled sweetly across the lunch time smoke
And I loved her for a second and discarded the queen and I know
When men are being little boys again
And women cruel step mothers of old
And this is the invention
The adventure of my own
I get blown away...

Give me a letter
The sooner the better
I'm out of here

Give me a card
I'm not waiting hard
To hear you

All I'm trying to do
Is all you want to say

Give me a letter
The sooner the better
I'm away from you

Trying so hard
I'm not taking a car
And I'll lose you

All I want to do
Is all I'm trying to say

What I'm trying to say
Is what I'm trying to do

Repeat first two verses

What I'm trying to say
What I'm trying to do
Is keeping up with you

She never has to stop and think
Never makes you lose a thing
She is so enchanting
I always have to stop a while
Cross my hands and close my eyes
I am so demanding
When she smiles she opens wide
Touching you inside to lie
Life can be so shaking handed
Nervously you're shaking signs
Life is better taken blind
Still you're left so disenchanted
Giving it all away
Giving it all away
You always have to stop and think
Desperately to find something
That is even handed
I never want to think a thing
That shatters almost everything
Life can leave you hanging

When you're twenty one and North of the border
the chance is
The military man will come and offer a hand and advances
Go to sea boy
Go to sea boy
Go to sea boy
Go to sea
With the shipyards sunk-on the Clyde
Go to the sea the junk life is dangerous
With a pocket of woes in this perishing hole it's so obvious
Go to sea boy
Go to sea boy
Go to sea boy
Go to sea
Then you'll sail away and we'll teach you a trade
That's for life
It's only killing but there's nobody willing
So we're asking on the Clyde
When you're 21 and north of the border the chance is
You'll sail away to a life in the dirt then advances

Go to sea boy
Go to sea boy
Go to sea boy
Go to sea boy
Go to sea boy
Go to sea boy
Go to sea

Well the old man shuffles off
And he’ll curse the world and cough
And the young man who is watching rushes off
And he vows to the sky
To have faith in you and I
And the old man who is watching slowly cries

Well it’s God’s world and it’s safe and it’s easy
To justify your personal responsibilty
But it’s God’s world and it’s safe and it’s easy
To nullify all personal responsibilty

Well the young man makes a plan
That he’ll save all foreign lands
And at his right hand
We’ll all be singing
And he’ll vow to the Sky
To have faith in you and I
And the whole world that is watching slowly dies

Well it’s God’s world and it’s safe and it’s easy
To justify your personal responsibilty
But it’s God’s world and it’s safe and it’s easy
To nullify all personal responsibilty

Don't nullify your personal responsibilty yeah
Don't nullify your personal responsibilty yeah

Well it’s God’s world and it’s safe and it’s easy
To justify your personal responsibilty
Well it’s God’s world and it’s safe and it’s easy
To nullify your personal responsibilty

We're just half a dream away
Sitting on our fences
Building up defences
Making up rules by which we play

We're just half way down the road
Staking our positions
But stupid superstitions
Only give fools too heavy a load

The magpie screeched and my window is shattered
Her body's bruised but her soul's not battered
The fireman tried but the hose was frozen
The cupboard's bare but the door needs closing

We spend half our time away
From being where we want to
And seeing who it's fun to
Not blaming ourselves for our mistakes

We spend half a dream away
Just looking out of windows
Waiting for a signal
Waiting for night to return to day

The tree was bare but the birds were singing
The milk turned sour but my thirst needs quenching
The meat was dead and I need me feeding
The room was cold but the night was freezing

The rainbow frowned when the sun was shining
A baby's snatched on a beautiful morning
A dog runs wild and the brakes are screaming
A church on fire is struck by lightning
The dead man's hands had beautiful fingers
The princess frowned at her lovers mistress
She went insane and poisoned the children
A teacher's drowned and a child is laughing

We're just half a dream away...

Harry don뭪 fly ?not like he used to
All the games he used to play
Are broken on the playground floor and useless
Harry don뭪 smile ?not like he used to
All the laughs have gone away
They haunt the playboy bar where we used to go
But Harry Kidnap뭩 cool
But Harry Kidnap뭩 cool
He wrote all the rules
We뭠l get by like we used to
When he used to run the show
He will smile and look youthful
Such a shame he had to go
Say a prayer for the boxers
For the builders to a man
Sing a song for the dreamers
For the fathers and sons
He played his hand ?just like he used to
Just the same the king you played
Is beaten by the ace of spades ?he뭩 ruthless
Harry won뭪 cry ?when you are crying
All the tales like peeling bells
Will tell of nights when racehorses are flying home

I don’t ever want to go out like a light

Have you got the right, to lay your burden on me
Have you got the right, to lay your burden on me

Is it ever right
To make it all out when it will never be

But it’s different, so different
So different from before
And it gets no easier

Do you have the right
To come on over so strong
Does it make it right
When it makes it all so very wrong

But it’s different from before
This is different from before
This is different from before
