Caught in the gridlock nose to tail across all lanes
Smog nearly chocking me as the car horns go insane Patiently waiting to get their old jobs backs Carrying the human race proudly on their backs How easily forgotten, How easily we're led How hard the path is trodden From when horsepower meant what it said I've got a hundred horses hidden in between my wheels But i can't put my foot down and jumped the fences in the field Patiently waiting to get their old jobs back How easily forgotten, How easily we're led How hard the path is trodden From when horsepower meant what it said And if we're keeping up with progress why am i standing still Maybe we should take a walk and talk to the horses on the hill How easily forgotten, How easily we're led How hard the path is trodden From when horsepower meant what it said How hard the path is trodden From when horsepower meant what it said |

Chorus:
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair In 77 and 69 revolution was in the air I was born too late and to a world that doesn't care Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair When the head of state didn't play guitar, Not everybody drove a car, When music really mattered and when radio was king, When accountants didn't have control And the media couldn't buy your soul And computers were still scary and we didn’t know everything Chorus When popstars still remained a myth And ignorance could still be bliss And when God Saved the Queen she turned a whiter shade of pale When my mom and dad were in their teens and anarchy was still a dream and the only way to stay in touch was a letter in the mail Chorus When record shops were still on top and vinyl was all that they stocked and the super info highway was still drifting out in space kids were wearing hand me downs, and playing games meant kick arounds and footballers still had long hair and dirt across their face Chorus I was born too late to a world that doesn't care Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair |

Sometimes I see her down by the river
The water dances on her skin She can captivate to hit the ice But she never lets you in In the dark she lingers Like a tear without a soul And I what a lonely girl Trying to find her way In this mixed up messed up world And I see so many faces just like her So many broken hearts in the world And I what a lonely what a lonely girl He said lately she's been watching the weather The weather doesn't know what to do ?cause sometimes when its cold outside That's when she?s feeling blue But I see through her sadness deep into her soul All she's wants to have is someone she can love to make whole And I what a lonely girl Trying to find her way In this mixed up messed up world And I see so many faces just like her So many broken hearts in the world And I what a lonely what a lonely girl Isn't it regrettable? Oh isn't it regrettable She finds her love and then she lets it go And I see so many faces just like her So many broken hearts in the world And I what a lonely what a lonely day And I what a lonely girl Trying to find her way In this mixed up messed up world And I see so many faces just like her So many broken hearts in the world And I what a lonely what a lonely girl And I what a lonely what a lonely girl |

A simple scent of summer stole my heart for the last dance
The smell of two-stroke petrol from a motorbike we used to have Those playing fields of cut grass you know high school left me kind of blue Now with every sweet summer breeze I'll be thinking of you [Chorus] Now I'm waiting for the sunset borderline Every suns gotta set with time But I'll remember those moments for evermore As the days where nothing had changed at all. Found a long lost picture of the car we used to run Cotton candy colored paintwork looked so faded in the sun And that 6 o clock sunrise you always used to drive me to Guess that long lost picture will always have me thinking, have me thinking of you [Chorus] So for every little sad sweet love song that's ever sung, I'll be thinking And for every lost summers day that ever been and gone, I'll be thinking I wonder if your gonna be the tear that follows me, Until that sun is set I guess I'll always be [Chorus] Turned into the radio flicking through the stations one by one Tried to listen through the rain while Humming those melodies alone I remember how you told me Lennon and McCartney Always pulled you through |

Some things are meant to be the way they're gonna be
'Cos you can't stop time or change history Sometimes all you saw were the things you wanted to see if you be lookin for the answer you would have to go to me 'Cos now you've only got a moment boy To get it right to get it right to get it right to get it right So if you really wanted me you'd show me how 'Cos I'm your little remedy if you take me now Oh if you really wanted me you'd show me how 'Cos I'm your little remedy if you take me now Some things in this life, they just pass you by But they're gone forever in the blink of an eye This time you gotta do what you always had to do So open up your heart and show me that you're true 'Cos now you've only got a moment boy To get it right to get it right to get it right to get it right 'Cos if you really wanted me you'd show me how 'Cos I'm your little remedy if you take me now Oh If you really wanted me you'd show me how 'Cos I'm your little remedy if you take me now Oh If you really wanted me you'd show me how 'Cos I'm your little remedy if you take me now Oh If you really wanted me you'd show me how 'Cos I'm your little remedy if you take me now Just now the minutes keep ticking past So if you think that our love's gonna last 'Cos now you've only got a moment boy To get it right to get it right to get it right to get it right So if you really wanted me you'd show me how 'Cos I'm your little remedy if you take me now Oh If you really wanted me you'd show me how 'Cos I'm your little remedy if you take me now Oh If you really wanted me you'd show me how 'Cos I'm your little remedy if you take me now Oh If you really wanted me you'd show me how 'Cos I'm your little remedy if you take me now If you take me now If you take me now Yes take me now If you take me now So take me now |

I'm just skimming stones against the lake
While my dreams pass me by I've never known what to make of life But I guess I'm willing to try Sometimes it's better sometimes it's worse Sometimes it heals sometimes it hurts.... So hail to the morning wherever it dawns down on me It's now that I get to thinking Some castles lie way beneath the sea. You always said that it would be such a long summer And now its here and I can break the ice on this cold water Sometimes it's better sometimes it's worse Sometimes it heals sometimes it hurts.... So hail to the morning wherever it dawns down on me It's now that I get to thinking Some castles lie way beneath the sea. So hail to the morning wherever it dawns down on me It's now that I get to thinking that life's a mystery So long live the moonlight wherever it shines down on me With the strength to part the ocean |

You'll take me on a journey
And be there till the end It won't be an uphill struggle On you I can depend You promised me a dream home With roses round the door You'll cover me in diamonds There's nothing I want more And You'll be strong And you'll turn me on But I've got my doubts and what if I'm right? You'll be true and be faithful too But I've got my doubts and what if I'm right? What if I'm right? 'cos if the rain starts falling You'll protect me with your coat And you'll always tape the football And let me watch my soap You'll always be as handsome And your weight will never gain And when I give birth to our children I will feel no pain And You'll bring me flowers And you'll bring the showers But I've got my doubts and what if I'm right? You'll say I'm thin and bring the washing in But I've got my doubts and what if I'm right? What if I'm right? You'll always keep the magic The tender love and care And when you need to change the light bulb You wont hand me the chair And when we're tired of the city And we find a country home You'll sell your vinyl records And go get us a loan You'll be my sympathetic lover And won't steal the covers But I've got my doubts and what if I'm right? You won't forsake me Your mother won't hate me But I've got my doubts and what if I'm right? You'll be strong And you'll turn me on But I've got my doubts and what if I'm right? You'll be true And be faithful too But I've got my doubts and what if I'm right? |

Some of us are
reaching for stardust Some of us are digging for gold But it won't mean a lot on a mountaintop When the wind reaches out for your soul Some of us stand in the spotlight Waiting for a round of applause When the people go home and you're left all alone To face the sadness behind closed doors I don't want the sun don't want you to run Don't want superman don't need wonderland Just want you to love me Some of us want silver linings To be the belle of the ball Going down in a blaze of glory The story means nothing at all I don't want the sun don't want you to run Don't want superman don't need wonderland Just want you to love me I don't want the stars or venus or mars Don't want superman don't need wonderland Just want you to love me just want you to love me Don't want superman don't need wonderland Just want you to love me |

Walter the war hero he's there from opening till time, time, time
There's Mary the housewife who's slumped at the bar drinkin' wine, wine, wine They get Kylie on a wednesday, the Stones on a friday, bob to the Beatles on a saturday night He's Dylan on a monday and Bowie on a sunday, does Beegees on a thursday as high as a kite And they call him the human jukebox, he plays second-hand rock n' roll And they call him the human jukebox, yet only he's healing hearts with his soul Skyvers with fivers shine up their shoes for the show, show, show and they all sing along to the songs till it's time please to go, go, go They get Kylie on a wednesday, the Stones on a friday, bob to the Beatles on a saturday night He's Dylan on a monday and Bowie on a sunday, does Elton on a thursday if you lend him your tights And they call him the human jukebox, he plays second-hand rock n' roll And they call him the human jukebox, yet only he's healing hearts with his soul They're karaoke kings for the evening, it's their only real shining time, and if you ever stop believin', and the real world gets you down Go see the human jukebox, he plays second-hand rock n' roll Yeah they call him the human jukebox, yet only he's healing hearts with his soul Yeah they call him the human jukebox, he plays second-hand rock n' roll Yeah they call him the human jukebox, yet only he's healing hearts with his soul ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By BROWN, IAN/THOM, SANDI <i>Lyrics © EMI Music Publishing, WINDSWEPT HOLDINGS LLC</i> |

Roller skates and bumblebees
Holding hands and grazing knees Dressing up and falling down Paul and mike are coming round Being good to stay up late Forget to shut the garden gate Built a house up in a tree Been making plans since I was three Time catches everyone And the world goes round the sun And the memory lives on in my heart Going back to the start Skiving french and stealing mars Hanging out in rosie's bar Getting changed straight after school Smoking fags and playing pool Rainbow coming over me But I like graham connelly Getting caught in someone's car This time kid you've gone too far Time catches everyone And the world goes round the sun But the memory lives on in my heart Going back to the start Forever forever forever Up and down to liverpool Learning lines to play the fool Hanging out at hannah's bar Got too drunk to drive the car Even though I'd love to stay It's time to work not to time to play And even though you're now for me Soon you'll be a memory Time catches everyone And the world goes round the sun And the memory lives on in my heart Time catches everyone And the world goes round the sun And the memory lives on in my heart Going back to the start Forever forever forever |
