Can you put a smile back on - all these different faces
Of all these people from - such different places And if you can succeed - what then will you achieve With a different tune to play - you've been saving for a rainy day Will you heal the scar that's on - the years been wasted The tears spent on the past - just filling spaces Or is love forever gone banished to a smaller part Hide behind your wall and start - to get to the very heart An' if you wanna shoot the moon - make sure that you know why Careful fly too soon - better let someone else try I'm the weaver of your dreams - I get rid of your bogeyman I'm here to smash the shell you're under An' get you into another thing - I'm the weaver of your dreams - I put paid to the rocketman I'm here to break the spell you're under And get you started with another plan Could you put a kiss back on - the lips so twisted Waiting for the chance to start - dipping into wishes Or is love forever gone - banished to a smaller part Hide behind your wall and start - to get to the very heart And in the midst of the darkest night Think of me and hold me tight So that I might live to see All the weaving of my dreams. |

Past midnight's hold -
Where the world's awaiting - I'll wait for you love - But I close my eyes, as there's pain too in paradise - Hey baby say - just what you're thinking - Know I know it - yeh, feel I'm sinking - Know I feel it - I know you feel it too - Across the water, there's a boat that - will take us away. It is shining for me All I need to be But I can't find the key The one to make me believe- Late at night - When the world is dreaming - Way past the stars - That ignore our fate & all twinkle too late to save us - so we save ourselves. Hey baby say - just what you're thinking Know I know it - yeh, feel I'm sinking Know I feel it - I know you feel it too - Across the water, there's a boat that - Will take us away - Far from the madness - out of the sadness Into sunlight - out of the sinking - You know I feel it, I know you it too - Across the water, there's a boat that will take us away - And there we will stay |

What's in a life
If you don't live it, baby It's just getting on by With a promise, what if, maybe Hanging around Waiting for something to fall And once in a while The paper smile must come a-way What's in a life If you don't live it, baby What's in a kiss If you can't feel it, baby The lips maybe sweet But are they sweet enough to contain it You're wasting your time Hanging out of windows painting And once in a while The paper smile must come and go And where it blows Who knows And where it goes It goes I'm glad to see it go I'm glad to see it go And what's in a dream If you can't be it, baby Look away, you're painted smile Look away, you're painted smile Wipe away your painted smile Wipe away your painted smile Look away you're painted smile Wipe away your painted smile Painted smile, painted smile Painted smile, painted smile |

I've got a grapefruit matter
It's as sour as shit I have no solutions Better get used to it I don't need a ship to sail in stormy weather I don't need you to ruffle the feathers - of my Peacock Suit I'm Narcissus in a puddle In shop windows I gloat Like a ball of fleece lining In my camel skin coat I don't need a ship to sail in stormy weather I don't need you to ruffle the feathers - of my Peacock Suit Did you think I should Nemesis in a muddle In a mirror I look Like a streak of sheet lightnin' In my rattleskin shoes - I don't need a ship to sail in stormy weather I don't need you to ruffle the feathers - of my Peacock Suit Did you think I should |

I've got a feeling
From the floorboards up Call it a calling If you like that touch Call it what you will I really don't care too much I've got a feeling And I know it's right I get it most evenings If not every night It sings in the air And dances like candle light When we play, we play, we play Mama, from the floorboards up When we dance, we dance, we dance Papa, from the floorboards up When we sway, we sway as one From the floorboards up From the floorboards up I get a feeling From the walls and chairs They tell me of the things that Have always been there And all that is not Will have to go back to dust When we play, we play, we play Mama, from the floorboards up When we dance, we dance, we dance Papa, from the floorboards up When we sway, we sway as one From the floorboards up From the floorboards up I've got a feeling And I know it's right I get it most evenings If not every night It sings in the air And dances like candle light When we play, we play, we play Mama, from the floorboards up When we dance, we dance, we dance Daddy, from the floorboards up When we sway, we sway as one From the floorboards up From the floorboards up From the floorboards up |

Is happiness real?
Or am I so jaded I can't see or feel - like a man been tainted Numbed by the effect - aware of the muse Too in touch with myself - I light the fuse I'm the changingman - built on shifting sands I'm the changingman - waiting for the bang- As I light a bitter fuse Time is on loan - only ours to borrow What I can't be today - I can be tomorrow And the more I see - the more I know The more I know - the less I understand. I'm the changingman - built on shifting sands I'm the changingman - waiting for the bang- To light a bitter fuse It's a bigger part - When our instincts act A shot in the dark - A movement in black And the more I see - the more I know The more I know - the less I understand. I'm the changingman - built on shifting sands (I don't have a plan) I'm the changingman - waiting for the bang- To light a bitter fuse |

You're savages, he knows you are
Do you not think that god is looking down? On you savages.. the children run, to mothers You put bullets in their backs Ah cowards, can you not see Do you not think that love is coming down? You have no gods, they have all disowned you You have no love, so you take it out on People's lives in progress That's what keeps you going when you're savages Savages, you can dress it up Give it a name and a fancy uniform And a flag to fly to hide behind Can you not see the truth that's on the ground You have no love It has all gone cold on you You never have, so you take it out on Those whose love is growing That's what you hate most, when you're savages Do you not see the love is coming down? |

Yellow strands mingle into red
Warm air blows, down upon her soft bed She licks my face and the feeling spreads I'm up in Suzes' room - flowers bloom-ing-ful I'm up in Suzes' room - where life goes so soon She's anything that you can call free She's everything that she wants to be She has everything that you could want to see I'm up in Suzes' room - flowers full in bloom I'm up in Suzes' room - where time goes so soon Soon, against the moon A big sky paints - but she calls the tunes She's cool that way - how I wish it could stay Forever that way No one moves - no one can When luck rolls its' coins, they land where they stand To make us everything that you never planned I'm up in Suzes' room - people bloom-ing-ful Up in Suzes' room - where life goes so soon |

You have never been there
Till you've heard the fat girl sing Then nothing else matters Everything just pales with in Hanging round the corners Shouting at the top of your voice Sing you little fuckers Sing like you got no choice I believe it's true We are everywhere And I feel the wind And it feels so high There really is no purpose Definitely is no need To go running round the houses Like a racehorse on speed I believe again We are everything And I feel the wind And it gets so high Come on Baby let's go Oo come on Baby let's go You say where to I say I don't know I just need to run And you need it too And I catch your eye And I feel the wind And it feels so high We're planting up the acorns Wondering to where they'll lead We're planting up the acorns Wondering to where they'll seed Come on Baby let's go Yeah come on Baby let's go You say where to I say I don't know |

like a dream on the ocean,
Always drifting away, And I can't catch up, She just slips away, (on the tide) sometimes a great notion, can lead us astray, so weak to devotion' so strong to deny oh baby baby won't you let me ride -take me up on your sailboat ride come on now angels are on your side but she slips away on the tide like mercury gliding, a silver teardrop that pours, And i can't hold on, through my fingers she falls at the foot of the mountain, such a long way to climb, how will i ever get up there ? though i know i must try Oh baby baby won't you let me ride Take me up on your sailboat ride, come on now angels are on your side, but she slips away, oh never stays yeah she slips away oh and she slips away (repeat last two lines ad lib |

You do something to me - something deep inside
I?m hanging on the wire - with love I?ll never find You do something wonderful - then chase it all away Mixing my emotions - that throws me back again Hanging on the wire, I?m waiting for the change I?m dancing through the fire, just to catch a flame- An?feel real again. You do something to me - somewhere deep inside I?m hoping to get close to- a peace I cannot find- Dancing through the fire- just to catch a flame Just to get close to, just close enough- To tell you that?? You do something to me-something deep inside |

High tide, mid afternoon
People fly by, in the traffics boom Knowing, just where you are blowing Getting to where you should be going Dont let them get you down Making you feel quilty about golden rain, will bring you riches All the good things you deserve and now Climbing, forever trying Find your way out of the wild, wild wood Now theres no justice Only yourself that you can trust in And I said high tide, mid afternoon People fly by, in the traffics boom Knowing, just where you are blowing Getting to where you should be going Day by day your world fades away Waiting to feel all the dreams that say Golden rain will bring you riches All the good things you deserve now And I say, climbing, foreever trying find you way out of the wild, wild wood Said you are gonna find you way out of the wild, wild wood Wild wild wood |

Can you tell the difference, between the pebble and the boy,
Far away in the distance, with the sun in your eyes, Can you see the footprints, that have merged with the sand, And you're trying to find them, you find only dry land. Can you tell the difference, between the pebble and the boy, Can you follow the heartbeats between the boy and the man, If you can, if you can. Can the future, with every step you take, yet you feel your no further, and your walking away, Can you tell the difference between the pepple and the man Far away in the ocean, with his back on dry sand. Can you tell the difference, between the pepple and the boy, Can you follow the heartbeats between the boy and the man, If you can, if you can. |

A police car and a screaming siren,
A pneumatic drill and ripped up concrete, A baby wailing and stray dog howling, The screech of brakes and lamplight's blinking That's entertainment. That's entertainment. A smash of glass and the rumble of boots, An electric train and a ripped up 'phone booth, Paint spattered walls and the cry of a tomcat, Lights going out and a kick in the balls I say that's entertainment. That's entertainment. Days of speed and slow time Mondays, Pissing down with rain on a boring Wednesday, Watching the news and not eating your tea, A freezing cold flat and damp on the walls I say that's entertainment. That's entertainment. Waking up at 6 a.m. on a cool warm morning, Opening the windows and breathing in petrol, An amateur band rehearsing in a nearby yard, Watching the tele and thinking about your holidays, That's entertainment. That's entertainment. Waking up from bad dreams and smoking cigarettes, Cuddling a warm girl and smelling stale perfume, A hot summers' day and sticky black tarmac, Feeding ducks in the park and wishing you were faraway That's entertainment. That's entertainment. Two lovers kissing amongst the scream of midnight, Two lovers missing the tranquility of solitude, Getting a cab and traveling on buses, Reading the graffiti about slashed seat affairs That's entertainment. |

Like pebbles on a beach
Kicked around, displaced by feet Like broken stones - all trying to get home. Like a loser's reach Too slow & short to hit the peaks So lost & alone - trying to get home. As another piece shatters Another little bit gets lost And what else really matters - at such a cost? Like a loser's reach - Too slow & short to hit the peaks So lost & alone - trying to get home. Trying to get home - Like broken stones - All trying to get home. |

I play out my role
Why I've even been out walking They tell me that it helps But I know when I'm beaten All those lonely films And all those lonely parties But now the feeling is off-screen An' the tears for real not acted, anymore I'm all mixed up inside I want to run but I can't hide And however much we try We can't escape the truth and the fact is Don't matter what I do It don't matter what I do Don't matter what I do Don't matter what I do Don't matter what I do 'Cause I end up hurting you One more covered sigh And one more glance you know means goodbye Can't you see that's why We're dashing ourselves against the rocks of a lifetime (In my mind different voices call) What once was pleasure now's pain for us all (In my heart only shadows fall) I once stood proud now I feel so small (I don't know whether to love or hurt) The long hot summer just passed me by |

I was half in mind I was half in need,
And as the rain came down I dropped to my knees and prayed I said "oh Heavenly thing please cleanse my soul, I've seen all on offer and I'm not impressed at all". I was halfway home I was half insane, And every shop window I looked in just looked the same I said send me a sign to save my life 'Cause at this moment in time there is nothing certain in These day's of mine Why'see it's a frightening thing when it dawns upon you That I know as much as the day I was born And though I wasn't asked (I might as well stay) And promise myself each and every day that is When you're knocked on your back an' your life's a flop And when you're down on the bottom there's nothing else But to shout to the top shout! |

Better stop dreaming of the quiet life,
Cause it's one you'll never know And quit running for that runaway bus, Cos their rosey days are few And, stop apologizing for the things you've never done; Cause time is short and life is cruel, But it's up to us to change This town called malice. Rows and rows of disused milk Stand dying in the dairy yard And a hundred lonely housewives clutch empty milk Bottles to their hearts Hanging out their old love letters on the line to dry It's enough to make you stop believing when tears come Fast and furious In a town called malice. Struggle after struggle, year after year That atmosphere's a fine blend of ice, I'm almost stone cold dead In a town called malice A whole street's belief in Sunday's roast beef Gets dashed against the co-op To either cut down on beer or the kid's new gear It's a big decision in a town called malice The ghost of a steam train, echoes down my track It's at the moment bound for nowhere, Just going round and round Playground kids and creaking swings, Lost laughter in the breeze I could go on for hours and I probably will, But I'd sooner put some joy back In this town called malice. |
