I was walking down the sidewalk
With my coat strung over my back When a car pulled up beside me A big black Cadillac A man said, "Son, have you seen a man with a gun? He's got a scar across his eye Looks a little like me, a real mean one" I said, "Sir I ain't seen nothing I ain't seen nothing at all" I said, "Sir I ain't seen nothing I ain't seen nothing at all" He said, "Son, if you're lying You'll never leave this town alive Gonna fit you concrete overshoes And you're gonna take a dive" The car pulled away and I ran off So afraid I wanted to cry When a man jumped out of the doorway He had a scar across his eye He said, "Son, have you seen a big black Cadillac? With a man in the front looks a bit like me And two more in the back" I said, "Sir I ain't seen nothing I ain't seen nothing at all" I said, "Sir I ain't seen nothing I ain't seen nothing at all" He said, "Son, if you're lying You'll never leave this town Wherever you run, I'll find you And then I'll gun you down" He ran one way and I ran the other Nearly bit clean through my lip When I bumped into a policeman With a six-gun on his hip He said, "Son have you seen a big black Cadillac? With one man in the front and two more in the back Or a man with a scar" I said, "I ain't seen nothing I ain't seen nothing at all" I said, "Stop, I ain't seen nothing I ain't seen nothing at all" I said, "Stop, I ain't seen nothing I ain't seen nothing at all" I said, "Stop, I ain't seen nothing I don't want to get involved" |

I went down to my tailor to get myself a suit made to measure
It's been a long, long time since I looked like a gentlemen of leisure He spent an awful lot of time on my inside leg You don't get that kind of treatment when you buy stuff off the peg When I finally picked it up and saw the label inside I saw a sight that made my mouth gape open wide It said "Made in Japan" Made in Japan There ain't nothing made here in this country anymore It's either made in Japan, Hong Kong or Singapore Made in Japan I went along to the showroom to buy myself a secondhand car I didn't have much money so I knew I wouldn't get very far The salesman said, "How much do intend to spend? You only get what you pay for in the end" He said, "You can't afford a Bentley or a Cadillac But take a look at this motor I've got out the back" It was made in Japan Made in Japan There ain't nothing made here in this country anymore It's either made in Japan, Hong Kong or Singapore Made in Japan Me and my girl last week we went to church and got wed I didn't buy the car so I decided I'd get married instead We went to Miami for the honeymoon I couldn't wait to get her in the hotel room But when she came out of the bathroom, my knees turned to jelly When I saw what she had tattooed just below her belly It said "Made in Japan" Made in Japan There ain't nothing made here in this country anymore It's either made in Japan, Hong Kong or Singapore Made in Japan Made in Japan Made in Japan Made in Japan Made in Japan (Dinner is served, sir) |

There's nothing in the way I walk that could tell you where I'm going,
There's nothing in the words I speak that can betray anything I'm knowing, Don't think about the way I dress, you can fit me on a labelled shelf, Don't pretend that you know me 'cause I don't even know myself, Ooh I don't know myself. I don't mind if you try once in a while, I don't mind if I cry once in a while, The doors aren't shut as tight as they might seem, I'm just trying to fight my way out of this dream. Don't listen to the words I say, weighing up if I'm enlightened, Don't shiver as you pass me by, 'cause mister I'm the one who's frightened, The police just came and left, they wanted me and no one else, Don't pretend that you know me 'cause I don't even know myself, I said I don't know myself. I don't mind if you try once in a while, I don't mind if I cry once in a while, The doors aren't shut as tight as they might seem, I'm just trying to fight my way out of this dream. Do you remember me, I don't remember you, Do you still love me, you know I think you do, I have been gone, and some prison warder knows my scream, I'm just trying to fight my way out of this dream. There's only five who know my real name, And my mother don't believe they know it, What she called me is the way I'm staying, And no one'll ever know it, Come on all of you big boys, come on all of you elves, Don't pretend that you know me 'cause I don't even know myself, I said I don't know myself. I don't mind if you try once in a while, And I don't mind if I cry once in a while. |

Local Lad:
Ever since I was a young boy, I've played the silver ball. )From Soho down to Brighton I must have played them all. But I ain't seen nothing like him In any amusement hall... That deaf dumb and blind kid Sure plays a mean pin ball ! He stands like a statue, Becomes part of the machine. Feeling all the bumpers Always playing clean. He plays by intuition, The digit counters fall. That deaf dumb and blind kid Sure plays a mean pin ball ! He's a pin ball wizard There has got to be a twist. A pin ball wizard, S'got such a supple wrist. 'How do you think he does it? I don't know! What makes him so good?' He ain't got no distractions Can't hear those buzzers and bells, Don't see lights a flashin' Plays by sense of smell. Always has a replay, 'n' never tilts at all... That deaf dumb and blind kid Sure plays a mean pin ball. I thought I was The Bally table king. But I just handed My pin ball crown to him. Even my usual table He can beat my best. His disciples lead him in And he just does the rest. He's got crazy flipper fingers Never seen him fall... That deaf dumb and blind kind Sure plays a mean pin ball.!!!!! |

You think we look pretty good together
You think my shoes are made of leather But I'm a substitute for another guy I look pretty tall but my heels are high The simple things you see are all complicated I look pretty young, but I'm just back-dated, yeah Substitute your lies for fact I can see right through your plastic mac I look all white, but my dad was black My fine looking suit is really made out of sack I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth The north side of my town faced east, and the east was facing south And now you dare to look me in the eye Those crocodile tears are what you cry It's a genuine problem, you won't try To work it out at all you just pass it by, pass it by Substitute me for him Substitute my coke for gin Substitute you for my mum At least I'll get my washing done |

I looked under tables I try to find the key To fifty million fables They call me the seeker I've been searchin' low and high I won't get to get what I'm after Till the day I die I asked Bobby Dylan I asked the Beatles I asked Timothy Leary But he couldn't help me either They call me the seeker I've been searchin' low and high I won't get to get what I'm after Till the day I die People tend to hate me Cause I never smile As I ransack their homes they wanna shake my hand Focusin' on nowhere Investigatin' miles I'm a seeker I'm a really desperate man I won't get to get what I'm after Till the day I die I learned how to raise my voice in anger Yeah but look at my face, ain't this a smile I'm happy when life's good, and when it's bad I cry I got values but I don't know how or why I'm lookin' for me You're lookin' for you We're lookin' at each other and we don't know what to do They call me the seeker I've been searchin' low and high I won't get to get what I'm after Till the day I die |

How dare you wear robes and reside
How dare you cover your head to hide Your face from God How dare you smile from behind your beard To hide the fact your heart's afeared And wave your rod How dare you be the one to assess Me, in this God-forsaken mess You, a man, in a purple dress A man in a purple dress You are all the same Gilded and absurd Regal, fast to blame Rulers by lost word Men above men, or prats In your high hats You priest, you mullah so high You pope, you wise rabbi You're invisible to me Like vapour on the sea How dare you? Do you think I'll quietly go? You are much braver than you know For I can't die Your staff, your stick, your special cap They'll protect in Hell? What crap! Believe the lie How dare you be the one to assess Me, in this God-forsaken mess You, a man, in a purple dress A man in a purple dress When you place your frown Between my God and prayer However grand your crown Or dignified your hair Men above men, or prats In your high hats You priest, you mullah so high You pope, you wise rabbi You're invisible to me Like vapour on the sea I lovingly mock you noble lords We all dress up to grand awards I do that as well I dare condemn your fashion sense At least you're not astride a fence That would not sell But I will deliver this address Your soul's condition don't impress You, a man, in a purple dress A man in a purple dress |

No one knows what it's like
To be the bad man To be the sad man Behind blue eyes No one knows what it's like To be hated To be fated To telling only lies But my dreams They aren't as empty As my conscience seems to be I have hours, only lonely My love is vengeance That's never free No one knows what it's like To feel these feelings Like I do And I blame you No one bites back as hard On their anger None of my pain and woe Can show through But my dreams They aren't as empty As my conscience seems to be I have hours, only lonely My love is vengeance That's never free When my fist clenches, crack it open Before I use it and lose my cool When I smile, tell me some bad news Before I laugh and act like a fool And if I swallow anything evil Put your finger down my throat And if I shiver, please give me a blanket Keep me warm, let me wear your coat No one knows what it's like To be the bad man To be the sad man Behind blue eyes |

You jumped out of an alley
With surprise in your black widow's eyes I was prepared to be unprepared Been preparing for lights I fell right in love with you Into a thousand parts I blew I fell right in love with you I was caught in a corner He recoiled from a broken romance Taking breath after once undead I had a firm grip on my pants I fell right in love with you Through a hundred hearts you flew I fell right in love with you Strange that when infatuation calls We think that we've got real love in our life It pumps like the pressure in a station hall As the express train thunders on by I fell right in love with you As the blood came blowing through I fell right in love with you Across the room I saw your eyes Black window looking back at me You held a gun As children cried You touched some wires They shattered me I was blown into a blue There'd been nothing I could do I fell right in love with you I rose up to the station Smelt your scent by the door You stood waiting so patient Just one wait, then no more I fell right in love with you There'd been nothing I could do I fell right in love with you Across the room I saw your eyes Black window looking back at me You held a gun As children cried You touched some wires They shattered me |

And when the world began
I'd been asleep forever I opened one eye 'Twas then it was I Got the whim to wake And when the weight of space Rolled like it was an ocean One became one Father and son Watched the sunrise break And as the ocean warmed And from this dream we woke One sang to greet the dawn One pursed his lips and spoke Wake up and hear the music Wake up and hear the music play Wake up and hear the music Wake up and hear what the people say I heard the heavens sing Predicting Marty Robbins I knew I'd find Music and time Were the perfect plan I watched my son sail on A little ship a-bobbin' I had to grow I needed to know Exactly who I am And as the ocean warmed And from this dream we woke One sang to greet the dawn One pursed his lips and spoke Wake up and hear the music Wake up and hear the music play Wake up and hear the music Wake up and hear what the people say Wake up and hear the music Wake up and hear the music play Wake up and hear the music Wake up and hear what the people say |

I hang suspended I wait for you And I know you're near In this high heaven My world's upended I feel no passion I feel no fear I'm dizzy with love But you never appear In the gloom of this room Of this cell down here I know this place Isn't truly real And that like my love It expands and sprays The light will find me Will bend toward me Yet I'm marooned In a billion days I'm drunk with you And I can't explain Who or where I am Or how I'm in pain Rocking and rocking me Rhythm is shocking me Just like a child in your fist You are knocking me Rocking and rocking Autistic, caged I am Rocking and rocking And rocking enraged I am drunk with you And I can't explain Who or where I am Or how I'm in pain In the ether In the ether In the ether I wait for you Hanging in this mist That I know's unreal There is nothing there There's no you, no me Even though it's crazy I still appeal This is heavenly hell I appear insane I have no idea Who there is to blame |

We're not strong enough!
We're not young enough! We're not long enough, Not cold enough Emotionally we're not even old enough! Late at night, we're in a video-game dream, There is no lover in this numbered scene We summon every childhood ghost we've seen, Then suddenly we hear that Mike Post Theme, (Chorus) Everything is alright (ba-do-ba) We pray today (ba-ba-ba-do-ba) Everything is OK (ba-do-ba) We play today Late at night, on the underground train, Through endless suburbs in endless pain, Then deep in the tunnel under the London rain, Suddenly we hear Mike Post Again, (Chorus) We watch those films, That make men cry, Young lovers kiss, Then fight, and die, We start to yearn, we climb the vine, We have to face the truth sometime. We're not strong enough! We're not young enough! We're not long enough, Not cold enough Emotionally we're not even old enough! Well late at night we found our racing team, We're faced with women and reality games, We feel alive, We feel new and blind, We're hearing Mike Post in the air this time (Chorus) We watch those films, That make men cry, Young lovers kiss, Then fight, and die, We start to yearn, we climb the vine, We have to face the truth sometime |

Out of my brain On the five fifteen! Out of my brain on the train Out of my brain On the train On a raft in the quarry Slowly sinking On the back of a lorry Holy hitching Dreadfully sorry Apple scrumping Born in the war Birthday punching He-man drag In the glittering ballroom Gravely outrageous In my high heel shoes Tightly undone Know what they're showing Sadly ecstatic That their heroes are news Inside outside Leave me alone Inside outside Nowhere is home Inside outside Where have I been?

Haven't seen quite enough of the world, I ain't seen a sign of my heroes, And I'm still diving down for pearls. Let me flow into the ocean, Let me get back to the sea. Let me be stormy and let me be calm, Let the tide in, and set me free. I'm flowing under bridges, Then flying through the sky, I'm travelling down cold metal Just a tear in baby's eye. Let me flow into the ocean Let me get back to the sea Let me be stormy and let me be calm Let the tide in, rush over me. I am not the actor This can't be the scene But I am in the water, As far as I can see... I'm remembering distant memories Recalling other names. Rippling over canyons, And boiling in the train.

Well I reckon she's cool and I reckon rightly, She's good looking and I ain't frightened, I'm gonna show you why they call me lightning.

Local Lad:
Ever since I was a young boy, I've played the silver ball. )From Soho down to Brighton I must have played them all. But I ain't seen nothing like him In any amusement hall... That deaf dumb and blind kid Sure plays a mean pin ball ! He stands like a statue, Becomes part of the machine. Feeling all the bumpers Always playing clean. He plays by intuition, The digit counters fall. That deaf dumb and blind kid Sure plays a mean pin ball ! He's a pin ball wizard There has got to be a twist. A pin ball wizard, S'got such a supple wrist. 'How do you think he does it? I don't know! What makes him so good?' He ain't got no distractions Can't hear those buzzers and bells, Don't see lights a flashin' Plays by sense of smell. Always has a replay, 'n' never tilts at all... That deaf dumb and blind kid Sure plays a mean pin ball. I thought I was The Bally table king. But I just handed My pin ball crown to him. Even my usual table He can beat my best. His disciples lead him in And he just does the rest. He's got crazy flipper fingers Never seen him fall... That deaf dumb and blind kind Sure plays a mean pin ball.!!!!! |

I went back to the doctor
To get another shrink. I sit and tell him about my weekend, But he never betrays what he thinks. Can you see the real me, doctor? I went back to my mother I said, "I'm crazy ma, help me." She said, "I know how it feels son, 'Cause it runs in the family." Can you see the real me, mother? The cracks between the paving stones Look like rivers of flowing veins. Strange people who know me Peeping from behind every window pane. The girl I used to love Lives in this yellow house. Yesterday she passed me by, She doesn't want to know me now. Can you see the real me, can you? I ended up with the preacher, Full of lies and hate, I seemed to scare him a little So he showed me to the golden gate. Can you see the real me preacher? Can you see the real me doctor? Can you see the real me mother? Can you see the real me? |

[Chorus:] When I say I love you you say you better You better you better you bet When I say I need you you say you better You better you better you bet You better bet your life Or love will cut you like a knife I want those feeble minded axes overthrown I'm not into your passport picture I just like your nose You welcome me with open arms and open legs I know only fools have needs but this one never begs I don't really mind how much you love me A little is really alright When you say come over and spend the night Tonight [Chorus: (as above)] I lay on the bed with you We could make some book of records Your dog keeps licking my nose And chewing up all those letters Saying "you better" You better bet your life You better love me, all the time now You better shove me back into line now You better love me, all the time now You better shove me back into line now. I showed up late one night with a neon light for a visa But knowing I'm so eager to fight can't make letting me in any easier I know tha~t I been wearing crazy clothes and I look pretty crappy Sometime But my body feels so good and I still sing a razor line everytime.

On top of the sky is a place where you go,
If you've done, nothing wrong If you've done nothing wrong. And down in the ground is a place where you go If you've been a bad boy If you've been a bad boy. Why can't we have eternal life And never die Never die. In the place up above, you grow feather wings, And you fly, round and round With a harp singing hymns. And down in the ground you grow horns And a tail, and you carry a fork And moan and wail. Why can't we have eternal life And never die Never die. (Guitar Solo) On top of the sky is a place where you go If you've done, nothing wrong If you've done nothing wrong And down in the ground is a place where you go, If you've been a bad boy If you've been a bad boy.

But you haven't, not in this life You've seen it, you've done it, you've heard it all before But you haven't, not in this life. Do you believe in Santa Claus and loving at first sight I hope you do, cause I do Do you believe in ghosts that rattle chains at dead of night I hope you do, cause I do. Cause I believe in everything Cause that's the simplest way for me to be I believe in everything To believe in everything you hear and see.

Do you believe in witchcraft, Heaven and Hell, King Kong Reincarnation, fairies at the bottom of the garden Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, goblins, ghouls and witches Things that go bump in the night Telepathy, eternal youth, Mickey Mouse, Father Christmas. Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer Had a very shiny nose And if you ever saw it you would even say it glows All of the other reindeer used to laugh and call him names... |

Said old Teddy Greenstreets passed away They buried him on Saturday, They said it was a lovely way to go In his sleep, didn't know a thing His wife couldn't go Her second husband took her uptown to a show His sons and daughters emigrated said, It cost too much to travel home Sent a wreath and a sheath. Isn't it a shame that no one came The funeral was quiet, but all the same He's much better off where he is now Rest in peace, Teddy.

Such a long way away from home We've been away so long Away so long away from home. So what are we doing here In a place where we have no friends All we can do is sit and cry Let the time drag by and think of home. Home, what a day that will be The faces of people we love that we'll see The memories of what we had left will return The present remains the past is just burned. And there's only twenty-five days, six hours, and ten minutes And this'll all be five thousand miles away Whoops there goes another day I'm wishing my life away.
