I'm gonna clear out my head
I'm gonna get myself straight I know it's never too late To make a brand new start I'm gonna kick down the door I'm gonna get myself in I'm gonna fix up the yard And not fall back again I'm gonna clear up my earth And build a heaven off the ground Not something distant on a cloud But something real to me But something real to me All that I can I can be All that I am I can't see All that is mine is in my hands So to myself I call There's somewhere else I should be There's someone else I can't see There's something more I can find There's only love to me I'm gonna clean up my earth And build a heaven off the ground Not something distant on a cloud But something real to me But something real to me I'm gonna clean up my head I'm gonna get myself straight I feel it's never too late To make a brand new start To make a brand new start To make a brand new start |

Everyone thinks it's fine
Making cash, coasting time Everyone thinks it's fair To be almost free - to be almost there But not really aware Anyone can cry So wipe away those phoney tears in your eyes Don't come 'round here Expecting votes See who charts the course on a sinking boat And whatever you give Listen - you give to give But humanities so weak - if it can it would give The loved of the loved There's a man down there And it should be clear I thought we knew And believed in it too Anyone can see why So wipe away the phoney tears you cry An' don't come 'round here Expecting votes See who charts the course on a sinking boat And whatever you give Listen - you give to give But humanities so weak - if it can it would give The loved of the loved |

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 |

I'll meet'cha on a bus at dawn, an open top one if it's warm
And if the flowers are in bloom, I'll lose myself to you I'll be whistling down a street, you'll hear our footsteps start to meet Then the craziness begins An' like chalk and cheese, yeh we'll shoot the breeze Yeh, headed up west in an open top deck Oh trying to remember just what for Then we'll talk for hours and hours about nothing much at all With your long hair falling down, falling down, in curl after curl And I too shy to ask what I really want to do Racked with my own self doubt, I stumble and fall Like a fool in love, my mind in the air Heaven knows where, yeh, heading up west in an open top deck Trying to remember just what for |

(papayeverteAutumn blew its leaves at me,
Threatening winter as I walked. Summer always goes so quick, Barely stopping like my thoughts. Which dip and spin and change so fast I have to wonder - Will I last. Through the windows of the train, I caught reflections of a paper cup, Hanging small in a pale blue sky, Never knowing which way's up. Above the clouds, what's to be found, I have to wonder - Will I be around. As my anger shouts - At my own self doubt, So a sadness creeps - Into my dreams When you're scared of living - But afraid to die I get scared of giving - And I must find the faith to beat it I must be me that's rushing by, Time just lingers on the wind. Bristlin' through my open fears, I wonder what it's going to bring. Above the clouds, what's to be found, I have to wonder - Will I be around. Run and hide, run and hide I catch the sail at evening's tide. |

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 |

The sunny sand we ran along, every day began upon
The summer's kiss of love and adventure And every dune that we fell into left a mark upon us too Etched forever as a moment we'd remember, oh and we'd remember The empty woods where we played, every hour of every day The holidays went on forever And in the woods was a soldier's tomb, the ghost of which looked over you And God was there amongst the trees, we felt his whisper as the summer's breeze And every night and every day I learned to love it in a special way As I remember, what it's like to walk amongst butterflies |

And I've got my thoughts to position
But do I know how to act? I got no silent ambitions But does that make me a man Until I learn all I can And mean all I understand As a way of living And I'm a piece of the earth I take no offence I can be who I am I have no pretense Only to what you can be If you want to be It's a way of living I've got a pen in my pocket Does that make me a writer Standing on the mountain Doesn't make me no higher Putting on gloves Don't make you a fighter And all the study in the world Doesn't make it science So grab a piece in the air Try an' make it sing Try and be who you can It's the real, real thing I'm into what you can be If you want to be It's a way of giving I've got a pick in my pocket Does that make me a player Words can't do What action does louder Putting on gloves Don't make you a fighter And all the study in the world Doesn't make it science I've got a pen in my pocket Does that make me a writer Standing on the mountain Doesn't make me no higher Putting on gloves Don't make you a fighter And all the study in the world Doesn't make it science I've got a pick in my pocket Does that make me a player Words can't do What action does louder Putting on gloves Don't make you a fighter And all the study in the world Doesn't make it science |

Dreams Schemes and everythings
Fill the dusty corners of your mind - As cars, boats and aeroplanes Just remind you of a better time As love's hopes and everyone's Anyone worth a minute of your time - When unhampered by the agents, Of the governors of the faceless so opaque, As bare tree's and winter winds Just confine you to - a bitter place A time you can't face- A peace of your mind We should be playing in the sunshine Happy to be part of everything, Not handled, greedy handlers Brought down and destroyed By their own ways- Liars! Liars! - smoking on pipes. Diamond fires Who Just throw it in their way- And how's your father today Was he caught in the rain ? Not handcuffed to some wanker Who doesn't know me (and_ doesn't see (that) our lives are made- (on) from all the efforts, of the masses, And all the people who deserve a better - fate Than a time you can't trace No peace in your mind A time you can't place Now your back in the race- Your three wishes expired Now your back in the fire (your three wishes expired - Now your back in the fire) See you just can't play now without a say Always got to be the man Always got to have the plan- It doesn't run that way Into the ether you'll say (your three wishes expired - Now your back in the fire) your three wishes expired - Now your back in the fire |

Catch me I'm falling so fast and I can't seem to find
All the reasons I had when the purpose was mine Now I stumble so fast rolling into the night Kiss me quick before I land and am broken in two Keep me on the right track, hold my dreams intact too - I get lost in this place - I get lost, yes its true In the waters I sink - In the waters I drink Til I rise to the top - Which in truth is not It's the same as below - We can put on a show To make you feel you're alright - To make you feel there's no fight Help me I'm sinking so fast into waters unplanned That I once held onto but have got out of hand Now the things that I loved are the things I can't stand Squeeze me slow before I come to that part of the ground It's a million miles up and a million miles down I get lost in between and I wait to be found In the waters I sink - In the waters I drink Til I rise to the top - Which in truth is not It's the same as below - We can put on a show To make you feel alright - To make you feel there's no fight Catch me I'm falling so fast Catch me I'm falling so fast Catch me I'm falling so fast |

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. |

Midnight star
Light the way For thoughts that change Like night to day- And bless the course That runs in time No matter how for- shine my way. I've gotta need to be loved Yes i want to be loved I gotta need to be loved Like anyone else Bring the night Go bring all your thunder Nearer the light Shine here amongst us No matter the flight fill me with wonder No matter how far- Shine my way- I've gotta need to be loved You i want to be loved. |

Here is the tune I've been writing -
It's been so long in the making I hope it's worth all the waiting Not expect it all for free Everything has one ending - Everything has it's day There's no use in pretending - Yes, everything has a price to pay You just asked me, what I'm feeling Should I tell you? Nothing is for free Can't you see - can't you see? Everything has a price to pay Everything that I know is - Hanging on my melody Everything has an ending Yes, everything has a price to pay You just asked me, what I'm feeling Should I tell you? Nothing is for free Can't you see - can't you see? Everything has a price to pay Here is the tune I've been writing - It's been so long in the making I hope it's worth all the waiting Yes, everything has a price to pay |

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 |

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. |
