Take a look at my girlfriend She's the only one I got Not much of a girlfriend Never seem to get a lot Take a jumbo cross the water Like to see America See the girls in California I'm hoping it's going to come true But there's not a lot I can do Could we have kippers for breakfast Mummy dear, Mummy dear They got to have 'em in Texas Cos everyone's a millionaire I'm a winner, I'm a sinner Do you want my autograph I'm a loser, what a joker I'm playing my jokes upon you While there's nothing better to do Don't you look at my girlfriend She's the only one I got Not much of a girlfriend Never seem to get a lot Take a jumbo cross the water Like to see America See the girls in California I'm hoping it's going to come true But there's not a lot I can do |

I know that there's a reason why I need to be alone I need to find a silent place that I can call my own You know I get so weary from the battles in this life Is it mine, Lord is it mine ? and many times it seems that you're the only hope in sight When everything's dark and nothing seems right Is in mine, Lord is it mine ? there's nothing to win and there's no need to fight. I never cease to wonder at the cruelty of this land but it seems a time of sadness is a time to understand Is it mine, Lord is it mine ? When everything's dark and nothing seems right You don't have to win and there's no need to fight If only I could find a way The love that shines around me could be mine to feel your sweetness through the day We know hat we have to do So give us an answer won't you to get throughThere must be a thousand voice trying |

I'm feeling so alone now Yeah my life is just a mess They cut the telephone uh huh I could have made a fortune I threw it all away now I lost the craving for success And as the acrobats they tumble While in the mirror She admires a brand new dress So the corn begins to crumble Live on the second floor now So much for liberation They're trying to bust the door down Soon I'll have a new address They'll have a celebration Yeah I've been under too much stress And as the cloud begin to rumble So the juggler makes his fumble And the sun upon my wall is getting less Don't, give a damn Fight, while you can Kill, shoot 'em up They'll run amuck Loud, they'll hear us Shout, Judas Everyone's a nervous wreck now Soldier, sailor They'll run for cover when they discover I used to think she was so nimble Would have bought her as symbol But now I can't afford the pen to sign her checks Don't give a damn............................ Everyone's a nervous wreck now Life's just a bummer they got your number They'll run for cover when they discover Rise from the gutter, stick with each other We'll drive 'em over the edge now We'll give as good as we get now They're gonna bleed, that's what they need We'll get together and blow their cover We're ready Yeah we're ready Yeah we're ready |

It doesn't matter what I say You never listen anyway Just don't know what you're looking for Imagination's all I have But ever then you say it's bad Just can't see why we disagree Casual conversations how they bore me They go on and on endlessly But no matter what I say You ignore me anyway I might as well talk in my sleep (I could weep) You try to make me feel so small Until there's nothing left at all Why go on? Just hoping that we'll get along There's no communication left between us But is it me or you who's to blame? There's nothing I can do, yes you're fading out of view Don't know if I feel joy or pain And now it's all been said If you must leave then go ahead Should feel sad But I really believe that I'm glad Yes I really believe that I'm glad |

Well, who do you think you're foolin'? You say you're havin fun, Just lyin in the sun. But you're busy going nowhere, commit the perfect crime and you're running out of time. You tried to be a hero, but the dollar got you dancing You're messin'up the water You're rollin'in the wine You're poisoning your body You said it tasted good You're poisoning your mind You gave me Coca-Cola You watch the television It tells you that you should How can you live in this way ? -(Why do you think it's so strange ?) -(Tell me why I should change ?) You must have something to say There must be more than this life. It's time we did something right. Child of Vision, won't you listen Find yourself a new ambition. I've heard it all before You're saying nothing new I thought I saw a rainbow but I guess it wasn't true You cannot make me listen You find your way to heaven I cannot make you hear I'll meet you when you're there. How can you live in this way? -(Why do you think it's so strange ?) You must have something to say -(Tell me why I should change) cos we both know that we're right We have no reason to fight Child of Vision, won't you listen Find yourself a new ambition |
