Two weeks in ElectricLady Land two weeks and that's all for me I could be lucky and get off lightly with a broken nose and the third degree she said I really dig Disco music and if you want to be my baby we'd better talk about it maybe then we could have an affair
Maybe your heart is made of stone maybe I'm just too blind to see maybe your heart is made of stone maybe I'm just too blind too see

Maybe your heart is made of stone maybe I'm just too blind to see maybe your heart is made of stone maybe I'm just too blind to see

When he found her He stayed down there With his velvet pills And her purple hair In a room so dark They could barely crawl With orange posters On Victorian walls It was Saturday night And he felt like death She just wanted to be loved Like anybody else Saturday night And the clock never stopped She felt like a loser On top or the pops The Chelsea lovers With guillotine lips Mascara egos Doing a magazine strip Chelsea lovers In a vicious town With lipstick futures Like a couple of clowns Strange creatures In the eider down Teenage oblivion Waiting to be crowned Holes in the mattress Where these beasts have lain Awake until morning With ice in their veins Facing each other Their eyes never met He just wanted to be straight It never happened to him yet Both of them laughing But they can't understand What it is about friendship Makes you hold your own hand The Chelsea lovers Oh how they can talk With their tongues connected And their skin like chalk Chelsea lovers They're joined at the hip With the power of madness At their fingertips Chelsea lovers With their limbs entwined Making moon sized promises From their molecule minds Stardust lovers In a Ziggy cartoon Two solemn lovers In a Chelsea room.
The streets in search of anyone who'll take them home I lie alone, the clock strikes three And anyone who wanted to could contact me At dead of night, 'till break of day Endless thoughts and questions keep me awake It's much too late
Where've you been? Who've you seen? You didn't phone when you said you would! Do you lie? Do you try To keep in touch? You know you could I've tried to see your point of view But could not hear or see For jealousy
I never knew time passed so slow I wish I'd never met you, or that I could bear to let you go At dead of night, 'till break of day Endless thoughts and questions keep me awake It's much too late
Where've you been? Who've you seen? You didn't phone when you said you would! Do you lie? Do you try To keep in touch? You know you could I've tried to see your point of view But could not hear or see For jealousy Where've you been? Who've you seen? You didn't phone when you said you would! Do you lie? Do you try To keep in touch? You know you could I've tried to see your point of view But could not hear or see For jealousy

I fell down on it Valentine's day Dropped my flowers in the rain And got carried away The tide was coming in I could have been sad I could have been amused But I was just in pieces It was then that I knew The tide was coming in Aaahh this pattern on the back of my hand It makes a joke of me and the veins are like Rivers in sand running out to sea Nobody slept on the night of the crash We were all covered in devil grey ash The tide was coming in I could have been dead I could have been underground But somebody decided I should stick around The tide was coming in Aaahh I know I'm just killing time But time is killing me My eyes are witness to this crime and looking out to sea

You talk a lot You laugh a lot Yes you talk a lot You never stop No you never stop But you never talk about The way you feel The way we make each other feel You celebrate And cut a cake Yes you couldn't wait No you couldn't wait But you never thought about the way I'd feel The way you made somebody feel Do you believe in all you hear Your husband's sick Your sister's queer Your mouth is full of shaky teeth From dreams that make you disbelieve That all I've ever said and done was Wish you well and have some fun Have some fun
Oh no, not you again I paid you already Too much times ten Oh no, not you again I don't know how it started But this is the end There's a gap in your teeth The words fall through They spread a virus And they stick like glue There's a pain in my neck And a stone in my shoe There's a lump in my throat It was more than I could chew Oh no, not you again With your cheque book religion And your diet coke friends Oh no, not you again There's a hole in your foot You shot it yourself Pulled the silver trigger And damaged your health I've been dying from exposure Since I shook your hand I see California gave you more than a tan Oh no, not you again With your world in a bubble And your gossamer smile Oh no, not you again So nice to hear from you Once in a while You stuck a knife In my back And my blood ran cold I think you mistook Me for a bag of gold But there's justice in The valley and they Say it's divine I've heard all about Your problems Now here's some of mine.
do you mind a question please sir stay what was life in the olden days long ago before the war. contractors to her majesty's government we were dealers in honest trade there were some mighty queer folk about but most were honest workers and knew their place i was a skilled craftsman mark you the work was hard and the hours they were long ah but there was a maiden and her name was marjorie long black hair she had like a gypsy and the prettiest smile i've ever seen i called her an angel and i was right she was. then there was the war forging a pathway for freedom, using resources we need them though our foes are human beings we stand between them and the life we do condone shipped out to belgium to stop them, plastered and shelled them,but lost ground bombs and rockets,V2's over London city and the world at their command back in Yeadon Marjorie stood beneath a factory i was assured she felt no pain withdrawn from Dunkirk in cruisers, who cares says i we're all losers no one wins both sides the victims of our nature may the future learn back in yeadon marjorie,died beneath the factory a messerschimdt her destiny you who think the rest are wrong and stand so tall and feel so strong please be sure that you yourself are not mistaken for the future won't be long......
if you're going to be a mountain let me see you thrust your snows in innocence through clouds of doubt that try to keep your reason out in these times of glaciated slaughter. and if your going to be a legend let it be a tale whose telling is a state of mind that's dwelling far beyond the words dark capture to fill the heart alone with rapture in these days of circles. and if you're going to be an island i will be a sailling ship who like a speck at total distance looms beyond your headland breakers till the ocean's mighty plunder bids me seek the gentler shelter of your in land waters have you never seen beyond the moon don't you know that we will be there soon? have you no eyes to see? that you are only me and we are only travellers upon a sea of time trying very hard to make it rhyme.

look at the ocean go rolling by slowly we're on the waves and it's ever so lonely how very strange i should thing that there's something wrong captain's log, the first of june have run into a bad monsoon i'm 54 i've sailed before this is not the sea it's war. grab the rigging, man the sail i do not think we will survive i do not think we will survive cloud in the distance appeared like a mushroom then came the heat and the rage of the ocean we're going down and i don't think i'd rather stay and to those who caused the pain i only hope you will remain i'm going down with what was good i wouldn't stay if i could.
though i may whisper words you don't understand though i'm in need of help you can't lend a hand to be at home in the world to be at home in the world though i may come and go it is not from you that i flow wild though the world may be it's inside of me, inside of me. to be at home in the world to be at home in the world this is all that a man can need cannot you see. though i may act unkind i don't mean to be,honestly it's just that it's hard to see the reality,reality.
the first man was a juggler, and his skill was very great but he said that he was leaving, he said he couldn't wait. the second came with jewels that flickered on his hand and he spoke about tomorrow as if it were another land. a lady caught between them said she should be free but they just looked bewildered, and said "yes so should we". "how on Earth" yelled the author "does the tale make it's sense" "it's alive with the truth but we must have the proof how can we open the door" well the next man had religion, it made him very proud he said he'd found his inner bliss, he said very loud but a group of men surpassed him with science, skills, and speed they hurled down his conceptions and dug up all his weeds. the lady she looked worried, she asked if this was wise "of course it is, it's logic, brains and enterprise". the last man had no number and didn't say a word he didn't even answer them when they said he was absurd they made him sign a treaty to give up all he owned and searched his pockets anxiously to see if he had gold the lady was enchanted and said they ought to see so they charged her with subversion and made her watch T.V. i'm a man with no future with no past or no time and i live by the door lord i live by the door i won't be back no more. we are fighting a losing battle no one is winning no one's beginning we are looking for something that's missing dark all around us darknees surrounding we are on the doorway of knowledge have we the wisdom? have we the wisdom?
if you don't like lying in the sun you might as well not be here what's the point of always working? shut your eyes and let the colours come and blot out all the black and white and dirty grey and damp and dust and dry rot in the roof on the beach we lit a fire, a frenchman gave us wine and whiskey out to sea the britsh navy keeps an eye on foreign shipping to keep us safe from war the hope of which is all that keeps our soldiers sleeping through the night if you don't like lying in the sun you might as well not be here let the sea come in and cover you you will feel a new dimension like sleeping on a feather bed and dreaming of a world in which you do not have to work you suffer, you die, you labour, you cry things will change, time will tell things will change, time will tell in the courtyard children playing in their lives the sun is shinning through they'll all be socialists, humanists they'll all be scientists, atheists egalitarian, vegetarian, internationalists they'll all be mystics, they all be gods they'll all be famous, they'll all be sods things will change, time will tell things will change, time will tell what you want to be you must try to be, you will all be free.
here on our road, are gathered we to see our lives unfolding though others stay we pass away just as the tide goes rolling this is a time of change al parting of the ways though others stay we pass away just as the tide goes rolling and i'll remember you beyond these hopes and these fears that account for the years like the wind in the reeds, i will miss you and i will think of you when the past comes along to remind me what's gone like the wind in the reeds, i will miss you can we go back and start again can we begin where we came in some travellers passed as we stopped for a moment in peace with blood on their fingers they spoke of a cloud in the east. and we were a happy crew, me and you we were a happy crew, me and you. speaking with words we were sure that the truth had been banned we'd buried the martyrs and walked off to work on the land and we were a happy crew, me and you we were a happy crew, you and me. some riders appeared from the sun as it fell with a blaze they passed like the wind and were lost in the dust to the east. and we were a happy crew, me and you we were a happy crew, you and me.
I tried so hard, to keep our love alive To keep you by my side But the winter and my pride Dissolved into the spring Oh love is a very funny thing I'm sure you know And though you lose someone You keep your soul
The fresh unfaded green Makes my heart to dream And the April Rain Washes me clean again Of the sorrow that went before Oh love is a very funny thing It lingers on And a part of me Is always he
Love is a very funny thing It lingers on And a part of me Is always he
