I was born yesterday
Trouble seemed so far away Now it seems my friends no longer call Everything was better then I can still remember when I saw the future with a certain glow So I turned to stone As I learned to know When I turned to stone Tell myself I'm feeling all alone Many days have passed me by Celebrate with sunny skies Still I know I need a helping hand And the friends I thought I knew See them change my every view Now it seems I'm seeing them as they really are No I turned to stone As I learned to know When I turned to stone Tell myself I'm feeling all alone I was born yesterday Trouble seemed so far away... |

You got your feelings
Your old fashioned feelings About the world and its ways No retribution No simple solution I think we're caught in a maze And all the plunder That feeling down under It tends to gnaw at you We're in the grip it's a total Eclipse The tyre fitter's got you Now let me explain This feeling of pain Comes from the man at the top. His grip is so tight His political might The tyre fitter will not stop He's bleeding your brain He'll drive you insane Nobody making a move He'll give you a pen But he's got him a gun The tyre man is oh so shrewd I'm licking my wounds And mending my bones And catching the wind out of town We're all in the grip of a tyre fitter's hand It's only doing me harm Running away Just isn't the way You got to get it yourself Watch what we do We just gotta make do And hide away on the shelf |

PARENTS
When I was a little boy They would say to me Don't go in the world and play It's bad company All they had was child and faith Let him grow and let him wait Just to find out what it was to be free But now I'm over twenty one Growing up I've had my fun And I know it's got to be Baby lying in a womb Are you free or in a tomb Let me in, I feel I want to cry. Oh the road is there Oh the road is there Come on back, back. Wash your hands and up to bed Mind your manners Or you're dead Mind the cars cos you've got school on Monday Put my trust in God Who is he I know not what Something mummy said to me one Sunday. Maybe love is life but life is not something I need plenty of. Oh! I wish I'd never lived a day. Now there's no one near me now Tell me what to do and how Take me back and sing my cares away. Take me let me sing my cares away Oh! the road is there Oh that road is there Come on back, back. Oh! I'm empty now Rainy pain has left me now. Think of what my people used to say. Black is black and white is white Which to choose and which is right Guide me to a place where I can stay. Wrap me up and keep me warm Hide myself far from the storm Sleep and love will keep my mind at rest. Only now I realise what my parents had to try. Love you all and keep you all my life. Oh that road is there Oh the road is there Come on back, back. |

But fashion dictators believe that you own it Material things ain't got the last laugh girl The pyramid way is a thing of the past girl The way people try to escape only i'll know The latest in style is a pyramid of love The light, the light that is calling me home Pyramids, don't you think you're a dead stone |

Lay down, baby don't lay down and die
Hold on, don't lay down and die for no reason at all So long, you've had it bad One day soon, you'll laugh aloud What you're being so sad Is it really so bad? Lay down, won't you show me a life Shake it, blow it away or it cuts like a knife Bad times they seem to be yours Certain times only get through if you open the door Listen to me, then you might see You've got it wrong, hold out some more Build a new hope, don't lay down and die I said lay down, baby don't lay down and die Save it, we're always alone so lift up your eyes Stand on your own, Be what you are do what is right Life is your own, Not for too long if you give up the fight Listen to me then you might see |

I was born yesterday
Trouble seemed so far away Now it seems my friends no longer call Everything was better then I can still remember when I saw the future with a certain glow So I turned to stone As I learned to know When I turned to stone Tell myself I'm feeling all alone Many days have passed me by Celebrate with sunny skies Still I know I need a helping hand And the friends I thought I knew See them change my every view Now it seems I'm seeing them as they really are No I turned to stone As I learned to know When I turned to stone Tell myself I'm feeling all alone I was born yesterday Trouble seemed so far away... |

There must be a way up the ladder
'cause I've got to move to the top I'm seeking the power and the glory But nobody knows when to stop They call him the reaper of the glory When you're searching for somewhere to go The gun is the key, and it always will be A powerful friend or a foe Got no time, my life's mine Ain't no friend to me I don't care, I won't wear My heart on my sleeve Rain or shine, I don't mind You don't impress me I can say, in my way I don't want to be... Reaper of the glory, same old story To be reaper of the glory, same, same story The injured are lying in the roadside Who dares means that someone will lose You fallen like a rock in a landslide You're hurting yourself it's no use Call him the reaper of the glory Searching can make you so cruel The reaper goes on, as he steps on their bones He doesn't play by the rules |

Oh sweet sixteen when she caught my eye
She made a first time love like an apple pie I got all choked up when she ran around She just used me up and she threw me right down Right down on the ground I wanted her for my loving plan But she ran out of town with another man My friends all knew that she ran around 'Cause she used me up and she threw me right down Right down on the ground I was cut up bad when she did her stuff My heart gave in and my love broke up I'm a broken man so I play the clown 'Cause she used me up and she threw me right down Right down on the ground |

I touched a nerve and made you jump
I sounded so unkind A wild effect might come and hide Upon your troubled mind I could have used a little tact Instead of speaking out Your temperament was much too quick and hot Finger on the button, You're ready to shoot me down Waiting to set the world on fire Finger on the button, You're waiting to shoot me down Some things I say Are not meant to be taken that way You took my words so literally It made you look the fool But obstinence should not incite Such sweet revenge so cruel But having taken orders I will apologize But don't you think it's time we really tried? Hold it back Hold it back Remember I'm a friend |

The two young children were old and bent
The older tried to look confident Laying life ebbed away, nearly spent, no love The darkness came and stopped the precious light If they survive this eternal night Without the sun and their maternal love They might fade away Flowers in the attic will not grow Flowers in the attic no one knows Flowers in the attic given some light Maybe you will survive The children cried like a baying hound Cold, still and darkness was their surround Although they wept, you could hear no sound They fade. They needed light to rejuvenate To run away through an open gate To halt the rise of a growing pain, away By now the old world was laid to rest So they invented self-happiness With all the toys and the books And the games they played One lonely child in the night touched you Depending on his mothers will No food or love were the last but 'til the dawn |

Give it all you can Open up your hand, reach out Your positive reactions fight Your run of empty luck Empty 'cause they've snuffed love out Hold on to, hold on to love Why don't you hold on to love? Hold on to, hold on to love Everyone hold on to love There's a school of higher thought That hears the frequency A universal key, sing out Although it's run is separate Like islands in the stream Tune in to the beat listen out When you're disillusioned with The path your life has run There is only one remedy What's the use in having If you don't appreciate Love can turn to hate so easily |

Never believe in the bellicose talker
Pretending his cause to be just and strong The onrushing torrent of words to convert Entice me to follow along Truth drug! Sell it to the bad boys Making all of their noise, ringing in my ears Truth drug! Give it to the bad guys Don't you know that their lies, Are not allowed in here The energy relays rhetorical speeches The sugar sweet voice tells me this is the best The durable quality lasts for a second I fell for the scam like the rest You think it's funny, to make your money By telling your lies. Crawl back under your stone! I got it wrong when you wrote me a letter That said you would love me forever and ever Sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind Keeping respect for each other |

*Breadfan
Open up your mind Open up your purse Open up your bones Never, never gonna lose it Breadfan Take it all away Never give an inch Gotta make a mint Gotta make me a million Breadfan You got it wrong Some long time friend's gonna lose it In the end who's a fool Seagull Give it all away Stay a bird Stay a man Stay a ghost Stay what you wanna be Loser Give it all away Never stay with the winner With the man With all the filthy money Come on Keep it on the side With a ride On a record on the top If you're gonna be a bad boy Breadfan You got it wrong Some long time friend's gonna lose it In the end who's a fool Seagull Give it all away Stay a bird Stay a man Stay a ghost Stay what you wanna be *Repeat |

You got your feelings
Your old fashioned feelings About the world and its ways No retribution No simple solution I think we're caught in a maze And all the plunder That feeling down under It tends to gnaw at you We're in the grip it's a total Eclipse The tyrefitter's got you Now let me explain This feeling of pain Comes from the man at the top. His grip is so tight His political might The tyrefitter will not stop He's bleeding your brain He will drive you insane Nobody making a move He'll give you a pen But he's got him a gun The tyre man is oh so shrewd I'm licking my wounds And mending my bones And catching the wind out of town We're all in the grip of a tyrefitter's hand It's only doing me some harm We're running away And it just ain't the way You got to get it, do it yourself Watch what we do We just gotta make due And hide it away on the shelf |

PARENTS
When I was a little boy They would say to me Don't go in the world and play It's bad company All they had was child and faith Let him grow and let him wait Just to find out what it was to be free But now I'm over twenty one Growing up I've had my fun And I know it's got to be Baby lying in a womb Are you free or in a tomb Let me in, I feel I want to cry. Oh the road is there Oh the road is there Come on back, back. Wash your hands and up to bed Mind your manners Or you're dead Mind the cars cos you've got school on Monday Put my trust in God Who is he I know not what Something mummy said to me one Sunday. Maybe love is life but life is not something I need plenty of. Oh! I wish I'd never lived a day. Now there's no one near me now Tell me what to do and how Take me back and sing my cares away. Take me let me sing my cares away Oh! the road is there Oh that road is there Come on back, back. Oh! I'm empty now Rainy pain has left me now. Think of what my people used to say. Black is black and white is white Which to choose and which is right Guide me to a place where I can stay. Wrap me up and keep me warm Hide myself far from the storm Sleep and love will keep my mind at rest. Only now I realise what my parents had to try. Love you all and keep you all my life. Oh that road is there Oh the road is there Come on back, back. |

Take the words I from my praying
And make me feel at home Not to feel alone And every time I look behind I keep on thinking black There ain't no looking back Riding my nightmare Riding my nightmare Riding my nightmare And it won't be long You will find me there Hold the word I from that way And wipe my sweat away You know it hurted bay Is your mind with better choice And then in time to come Think I'm me as one Riding my nightmare Riding my nightmare Riding my nightmare And it won't be long You will find me there |

Sun and moon and sky above me.
These are things I treasure most Sun that lights my way goes on and on and on. Simple things will not be lost. You know I'll always love you, No matter where you are Feel it all around you My love will travel far. Sea of grass and earth below me. These are things I treasure most. Men who read the signs go on and on and on. Better things will soon be gone. You know I'll always love you No matter where you are Feel it all around you My love will travel far. |

Just like a river, well I keep rolling along
Just like a singer, well I keep singing a song And like a hobo, well I just ramble my way Across a night time, behind the milky way So if you see a sign of a rocking man Look at what your doin' I keep a flying, until I see light of day And they are standing, until the band starts to play And where were rolling, well I see, know what you mean I know the feeling, well it is kind of a dream Oh and if you see a sign of a rocking man Look at what your doin' Oh oh yeah Just like a hammer, well I just hammer a song It's like a boulder, and I just tumble along I never worry about the things that I plan I'm not a preacher, I'm just a rocking man Oh if you see a sign of a rocking man Look at what your doin' |
