Guess you know by now or at least you should
There is no volunteer for the common good Still waiting for the Saviour to appear But He's s not here And no one's coming down to save your soul You're the only ones who can assume that role But your minds are empty and you've lost control To the ones who sell you dreams To fill that hole Some of us I know seem to have much more Born with a key to every door Distribution of fortune seems unfair Same everywhere And those who have they just want more Using other peoples weakness to increase their score Do you really know who you're working for It's not for one another and that s for sure Guess you know by now or ac least you should There is no volunteer for the common good Still waiting for that Saviour to appear But He's still not here And no one's s coming down to save your soul You're the only ones who can assume that role But your minds are empty And you've lost control To the ones who sell you dreams To fill that hole |

Living in the city seems
To fill me with trepidation Fills me with trepidation inside Too much big business And too little celebration Too little celebration indeed So let's raise our voices And sing for our lives Sing for our life Let's raise our voices Drink for our lives Drink for your life my friends, my friends, my friends, my friends Too many reassuring lies To lullaby the population Lullaby the population to sleep Too much big business Too little celebration Too little celebration indeed |

I've been up all night with a kind of light
Burning in my brain The flames is cold .... freezing, But it takes away my pain I don't feel any pain No, I don't feel any pain Just sit here listening to the rain tonight No no no you sweet deceiver, you Though it's cold the pain is bright Clearer vision through the night If helps me see that it's alright with me You sweet deceiver you You sweet deceiver you Oh no no no oh, no no you sweet deceiver you Though it's cold it's pain is bright Clearer vision through the night And it helps me see then it's alright with me I've been up all night with a kind of light Burning in my brain I don't feel any pain No, I don't feel any pain I know it's coming back again tonight |

Some people sent me a circular letter
Explaining how their ideas were better And asking me to join their gang They said they were select So many people they reject I read it carefully to give them a chance Looked like instructions for a new kind of dance With mystical innuendos Most confusing But quite amusing So many different kinds of club to join So many versions of the same old coin Do what you like with your convictions I believe them all But if I don't t answer when you call Guess I'll be up against that wall again and again Here comes that postman again Another invitation Uh, this ones really cute It says “surrender or we shoot' So I'm sending this salute Cause I'm a member too of any circle That belongs to you Making a circle is just drawing a line Around some space any time and place Just add the details of your face It's hallo sparrow paradoxical Oh so auto tautological Maybe vaguely ecological too, oo poop pee do Home brewed, half nude terminology Private, drive it yourself mythology Everybody needs some ology now... Here comes the same thing again and again Oo ee here comes that postman again With another invitation, this one's really cute It says surrender or we shoot" So I'm sending this salute Remember to stand at attention |

Once upon an ocean
We dream a ship to sail When it start leaking We had to learn to bail All that mattered it was Keeping the ship afloat But we couldn't work together We become a drunken boat Captain shouted out Nobody hear him speak. oh no Everyone went rushing round going crazy Trying to find that leak Waves getting heavier We don't stand much chance Then we heard that old familiar music And we just had to dance Our ship is sinking but we don't give a damn No, No, No, No Our ship is sinking but we don't give a damn No, No, No, No, No |

Farewell again please come back someday
It's getting harder every time I have to say goodbye Oh fare you well So many feelings I know we share Like being here and wanting to be there And when you're asked where that is you Say you don't know It s just somewhere else and you have to go So you go You always go, where do you go So many choices you have to run Because when life is made too easy It s much harder to simply have fun Now you're always on the run You panic when someone tries to unfold you Scream for the dream that seems to hold you You want to give love but only on condition That it's on your terms and that position is lonely This I know Don't get me wrong I'm not pushing you down Or trying to change your mind Your problems are my problems too And I'm talking just as much to myself As I am to you Farewell again please come back someday It's getting harder every time I have to say goodbye Fare You Well Fare You Well Fare You Well |

I walked into this bar
And the man refused; He said, "we don't serve strangers In blue suede shoes; We don't give credit, and We don't give way We have to think about what the people might say.. Uh, you know what i mean..." I said, "sure, man" Oh, he gave me a smile that was sickly and wet, And i offered him one of my cigarettes. He took it, afraid that he might appear rude, Then proceeded to sell me some second class food. Nice guy - meet 'em everywhere.. . He said, "my oh my, i have suffered too long, And this cigarette seems to be very strong; I don't make the rules I just get what i take And i guess every rule was made to break. You can take what you like, it won't hurt me Cause i'm just working for the company." From the green cigarette, he took a long drag, And said, "i think i'll pick my travelling bag. I'm tired of cheating, and wasting my head And filling the boss's bags with bread. I want to get out in the sun and rain, And feel the wind on on skin again; The world is large, and i've got time yet. And, by the way, thanks for that cigarette.. Thank you very much." "you know, i feel like a new man Yes i do, i don't know why; I'd just like to say Thank you very much(indeed) It's a beautiful day I think i'll be on my way (right away) I'd just like to say Thank you very much. Yes, i'm getting the hell out of here Yes, i am - bye, bye. That's the end of the message Thank you very much. Bye bye... |

I have been called a down
Yes you may write that down And for a little money I am extremely funny. I play before the audience I make them laugh and shout And when they've laughed for quite a while The door man lets them out, bye bye. You ask me how I do my act This is my reply I climb up on a ladder And announce that I will fly. You ask me how I do my act This is my reply I climb up on a ladder And announce that I will fly. |
