The silent night has turned to a night of fear
With windows howling wind into your ear You listen to the spirits far behind These things you hear are too much for your mind The bell strikes and your spine chills like the grave The chill that turns your blood from red to grey You know that with these things you see and hear The silent night has turned to a night of fear Image on your bedroom wall, shadows marching in the hall Just about to flip your mind, just about to trip your mind Just about to flip your mind, just about to trip your mind The green and purple lights affect your sight Your mother cannot comfort you tonight Your brain calls out for help that's never there The silent night has turned to a night of fear Image on your bedroom wall, shadows marching in the hall Just about to flip your mind, just about to trip your mind Just about to flip your mind, just about to trip your mind The silent night has turned to a night of fear With windows howling wind into your ear You listen to the spirits far behind These things you hear are too much for your mind Just about to flip your mind, just about to trip your mind Just about to flip your mind, just about to trip your mind |

When I was a little boy
My mama dropped me on my head I felt kinda dizzy but the doctor Made note of all I did Chorus Ever since then there's been a slight disturbance in my mind A kind of disarrangement that the surgeons cannot find At the age of seven I just couldn't read my abc But I gave my teacher tips on how the caveman used to be Chorus Reach the age of 21 ain't got no...to fit my clothes Day and night I'm looning around Dont know what I'm looking for Will they carry me away? Oh will they carry me away? I was 97 and I'm sure my brain it had enough Racing round in jet planes cause My sports car ain't quite fast enough Chorus Will they carry me away? Oh will they carry me away? |

See the people all in line
What's makin' them look at me Can't imagine that their minds Are thinkin' the same as me I can hear the grass grow I can hear the grass grow I see rainbows in the evening My head's attracted to A magnetic wave of sound With the streams of coloured circles Makin' their way around. I can hear the grass grow I can hear the grass grow I see rainbows in the evening Can't seem to puzzle out the signs My senses form a micro line Get a hold of yourself now baby See I need you to help now baby Get a hold of yourself now baby Put your head down to the ground And listen to your mind If you can't spell what you found I know that you're not my kind I can hear the grass grow I can hear the grass grow I see rainbows in the evening Can't seem to puzzle out the signs My senses form a micro line Get a hold of yourself now baby See I need you to help now baby Get a hold of yourself now baby See the people all in line What's makin' them look at me Can't imagine that their minds Are thinkin' the same as me I can hear the grass grow I can hear the grass grow I see rainbows in the evening |

First of all let me describe
Nature's struggle to survive Just a weary group of people Waiting for the world to end Feel it spreading rapidly Radioactivity Bound together by a legend To protect us and defend (chorus) Lead us to the yellow rainbow Just in case the earth should fall If you find the yellow rainbow You could save us all Serpent's tongue from blackened cloud Sometimes seems to speak out loud Icy brew of winds prevailing From the cauldrons of the storm Hear the children's voices plead Please don't let the sky fall in We might find a yellow rainbow Ferry lights to keep them warm (repeat) I can take the atmosphere and chase it down Overactive mind works like an underground Fear our hope's about to be Buried in obscurity Saw a man with eyes like saucers Caught up in a web of light Hatch that opened up before us Cast a rainbow big and bright Lead us to the yellow rainbow Just in case the earth should fall |

There's a fellow roaming round the street
I think most of all I'd like to meet I must consider him a clever lad Making like a young sir galahad Everywhere I go I think he's been He autographs the walls around the scene If you look hard enough you'll find him there In rooms of public places everywhere Kilroy was here Left his name around the place Kilroy was here Thought I've never seen his face On a short vacation with my friends I found I had time on my hands to spare Surveyed my telescope around the land And saw his name imprinted in the sand Kilroy was here Left his name around the place Kilroy was here Thought I've never seen his face On a short vacation with my friends I found I had time on my hands to spare Surveyed my telescope around the land And saw his name imprinted in the sand I wonder could he be a cavalier Or a roving musketeer Or just a dustman who's insane Everyplace regardless where or when .... strikes again and again and again If I ever meet that man at all I'll hang a plague upon my bedroom wall A monument erected in his name Would help to contribute his name Kilroy was here Left his name around the place Kilroy was here Thought I've never seen his face On a short vacation with my friends I found I had time on my hands to spare Surveyed my telescope around the land And saw his name imprinted in the sand Kilroy was here Though I've never seen his face |

Friday night and everything's right on the weekend
Crazy clothes and anything goes on the weekend John called in and Jim got Sue I made a date with a little ol' Jew Off he went to make a date on the weekend No harm done, just having some fun on the weekend Cartop down, just a ridin' around on the weekend Took a ride to lookout hill The view up there was sure a thrill That was all, we had a big fall on the weekend There we were just sitting cool and cozy I just had time to steal a little kiss A police with a flashlight tried to nose in He said, "holy mackerel there, what is all this?" No harm done just having some fun on the weekend Took a chance on crashin' a dance on the weekend We were almost inside the place Then some boy slammed the door in my face "hey you guys, you gotta wear ties on the weekend Crazy clothes and anything goes on the weekend That was all we had a big ball on the weekend" |

My friends and I took a walk today
To a place we've been before We flipped around like a wind machine Till we stopped down by the store Someone said Let's go for a walk upon the water Let's go for a stroll across the sea First one, follow me Admit my thoughts didn't feel inclined To drift into the bay By now my friends, could see their minds As I watched them drift away, all singing Chorus Three small bodies swept up by the morning tide Now their souls are washed up Faith destroyed their minds Better get the life inspector Bring along his mind erector You know I'm innocent I just didn't expect their trip to last With the gale force that crossed their path I could see them sinking fast, still singing Chorus Three small bodies swept up by the morning tide Now their souls are washed up Faith destroyed their minds Better get the life inspector Bring along his mind erector This tale of common sense will end on Please don't drink and drive Especially when you're driving friends Along the waterside, still singing Chorus Chorus Follow me, follow me, follow me Chorus |

Woke up one morning half asleep
With all my blankets in a heap And yellow roses scattered all around The time was still approaching four I couldn't stand it anymore Saw marigolds upon my eiderdown I'm just sitting watching flowers in the rain Feel the power of the rain making the garden grow I'm just sitting watching flowers in the rain Feel the power of the rain keeping me good So I lay upon my side With all the windows open wide Couldn't pressurize my head from speaking Hoping not to make a sound I pushed my bed into the grounds In time to catch the sight that I was seeking (repeat) If this perfect pleasure has to be Then this is paradise to me If my pillow's getting wet I don't see that it matters much to me I heard the flowers in the breeze Make conversation with the trees Relieved to leave reality behind me With my commitments in a mess My sleep has gone away depressed In a world of fantasy you'll find me (repeat) Watching flowers in the rain Flowers in the rain Power flowers in the rain Flower power in the rain (fade out) |

Sister Jane has a little book
Full of autographs of useless people Seems a waste in the time she took And it gets me mad which makes us equal Ooh, hundreds of people left out in the cold Wearing the shoes that were silver and gold Useless information Tons of useless information Seems to fill my head With nowhere else to go (isn't it amazing) Mrs. Payne at the door again With the news about her operation Will her god ever make the rain Wash away such useless information Chorus Isn't it amazing Now you can see why Conversation is dying And time is passing you by Turn your ears to the weatherman Saying it be colder in December Get your boots and your astrakan It's been the same for years so I remember Chorus Chorus Hundreds of people filling my head with useless information Chorus |

Dear, when you smile at me
I hear a melody It haunted me from the start Something inside of me Started a symphony Zing went the strings of my heart Whoa now the breath of spring Whoa I heard a robin sing About a nest... apart All that you seem to be End up in harmony Zing went the strings of my heart I still recall the thrill I guess I always will I hope we'll never depart Dear, with your lips to mine A rhapsody divine Zing went the strings of my heart Zing went the strings of my heart Zing zing zing zing |

You couldn't make it easy if you tried
So I'm gonna save it for the girl outside I'll take her on a magic carpet ride We could walk the clouds together Stay in love forever If you don't answer what I feel inside I might try to make it with the girl outside And all our thoughts together we'll confide We'll see fairytale cities When following the lands of love Who needs the girl outside When I can ride the time and life with you Why don't you turn around And look at me, I often wish I knew you You overstepped the mark so run and hide Cause I'm gonna take it to the girl outside I won't cast all my little dreams aside Every flowers hide their faces By... their places Who needs the girl outside When I can ride the time and life with you Why don't you turn around And look at me, I often wish I knew you You couldn't make it easy if you tried So I'm gonna save it for the girl outside I'll take her on a magic carpet ride We could walk the clouds together Stay in love forever |

Cast your mind back ten years
To the girl who's next to me in school If I put my hand upon her leg She'd hit me with a rule Though tomorrow won't be long You're gonna have to play it cool You've been fascinated by her She could set the place on fire Run and get the fire brigade Get the fire brigade See the buildings start to really burn (Ooh) Get the fire brigade Get the fire brigade If you jump, you've got to wait your turn Friends all seem to laugh I feel I have to make a compromise Try to reassure myself My head must need some exercise Half past ten in the morning She just took me by surprise True, she set the place on fire You've been fascinated by her Run and get the fire brigade Get the fire brigade See the buildings start to really burn (Ooh) Get the fire brigade Get the fire brigade If you jump, you've got to wait your turn The lights across the street Throw a rainbow in her hair I'd love you all to meet her I'll be there, I'll be there Notice that my eyes have been A misty place since Saturday Brings a feeling we might need The fire engines anyway Though tomorrow won't be long We're gonna have to play it cool You've been fascinated by her She could set the place on fire Run and get the fire brigade Get the fire brigade See the buildings start to really burn (Ooh) Get the fire brigade Get the fire brigade If you jump, you've got to wait your turn |

I wake and yawn at the crack of dawn
With dewdrops on my feet As I rise up to greet the morning Nothing much to eat Every breath I take seems to make my body ache My only friend is mist on a Monday morning Pick up my sack and walk for miles Never thinking why To the brewer's yard where I can sit And watch my life go by Drink and drink all day till my memory melts away I need a friend like mist on a Monday morning Where's my wife, has she gone I hear misty morning call One foot resting in the grave Destined not to see her anymore There's a den in the grass by the autopath Of corrugated steel I may be sleeping there tonight And depending how I feel Damp and dirty place Printing sorrow on my face With nothing but the mist on a Monday morning Chorus From... I feel the sin Like wheels upon my feet Intoxicated by the night I stumbled in the street Every breath I take seems to make my body ache And drift into the mist on a Monday morning |

To my bed I am confined Owing to my state of mind Special food for thought I must be fed The authorities have said I'm going off my head Suddenly from flowered skies Twenty thousand butterflies Glorify my bed... Turn from hot to very cool Though it seems incredible I could ride a bike around the moon.

She more than seventeen Seems keen in other words She must have been A former beauty queen Now she's a naughty girl Chorus Wild wild wild tiger woman (wild wild wild wild) You move me very fast But can you last another day Get out of the way Wild wild tiger woman (wild wild wild wild) You gonna break you're little fall They call her the wild tiger woman Tied to the bed Tied to the bed Shes waitin' to be fed No pay to sir aday (? ) Cant see an ounce of reason in her head Don't laugh and turn away Chorus Need another girl to come and grab her by the tail As I was hoping that the ground would open up and take me in Life is so obscene and the remarks that go unseen Are being diminished to the earth Ill never find another girl All in the race Such a friendly face Seems clean and upper-class Young indecisive Minds are in a maze She lose me very fast Chorus |

Pushing in the queue to get to the front Join the ladies in my dream I know the perfect part you play Ring my bell and sail away Chorus Come and take a ride on my omnibus We could take you right to the terminus Don't forget your ticket if you want to ride Catching the ride inside Just a dud their hansom falter Harem on a bus flies over the town Hopes and dreams lock up your daughters Just too late to save the day Ring my bell and turn away Chorus Sweet silver meadows Protect us from the rain Reins never break Take us to the stars again Hear the waves flow everywhere See my sleighs through windy hair Save the girls upstairs for later Now you wonder if I can manage them all Wrap them up in Christmas paper Tell them they don't have to pay Ring my bell and turn away Chorus Omnibus ride Omnibus ride |

Blackberry Way, absolutely pouring down with rain,
It's a terrible day. Up with the lark, silly girl I don't know what to say, She was running away. But now I'm standing on the corner, Lost in the things that I said. What am I supposed to do now? Goodbye, Blackberry Way I can't see you, I don't need you. Goodbye, Blackberry Way Sure to want me back another day. Flowers in the park overgrowing but the trees are bare There's a memory there. Boats on the lake, unattended now for all to drown I'm incredibly down. Just like myself they are neglected, Turn with my eyes to the wall What am I supposed to do now? Goodbye, Blackberry Way I can't see you, I don't need you. Goodbye, Blackberry Way Sure to want me back another day. Run for the train, look behind you for she may be there Said a thing in the air Blackberry Way, see the battlefield of careless sins Cast to the winds So full of emptiness without her, Lost in the words that I said. What am I supposed to do now? Goodbye, Blackberry Way I can't see you, I don't need you. Goodbye, Blackberry Way Sure to want me back another day. Goodbye, Blackberry Way I can't see you, I don't need you. Goodbye, Blackberry Way Sure to want me back another day. |

Mister McCann was a practical man,
Curly was his only son, And he loved him like no other can, Bi-dum, bi-dum, bi-dum. He discovered the world in a wonderful girl, Though he played with more than one. But he loved her like no other can. Bi-dum, bi-dum, bi-dum Chorus: Oh Curly has she let you down and run? Oh Curly where's your girly? Where's she gone? Ran all over the town, Till he covered the ground, Every inch of Liverpool, In a way I feel so bad That she let he be made a fool. But remember she's right, As we freeze in the night, When the dawn took years to come, Does he love her like no other can Bi-dum, bi-dum, bi-dum Chorus Now curse the day, Yes it really shook you good. Just broke away, no, You didn't feel she would. You didn't feel she would. La-da-da, na- na- na- na- Desolation tones play on Though it breaks you Curly Can't you see what she has gone and done? He discovered the world Such a wonderful girl, So he played with more than one, But he loved her like no other can Bi-dum, bi-dum, bi-dum Chorus Oh Curly, where's she gone? You didn't feel she would. Oh Curly, where's she gone? You didn't feel she would but she could. La-da-da, na-na-na, na-na-na |

There we go, running before we can walk again
Can you imagine the hours I keep Learning to sleep again, see her face again Lost the world, fruits of the morning are weak and grey Carry the weight of the heart in a storm Suffer the dawn today, today Your beautiful daughter made me younger today Beautiful daughter, now the darkness hides the tears that soak The pillow where she lay Wide awake, lying in wait for the moon to break Drinking the lake of the dreams that we share Wanting you there today, today Chorus Can you believe she just dropped in to say goodbye, say goodbye I'm crying Beautiful daughter give me more, open the door Pools in her eyes that are bright and deep Can you imagine the hours I keep Learning to sleep again, again Chorus Chorus Beautiful daughter give me more, open the door Beautiful daughter give me more, open the door Beautiful daughter give me more, open the door |

It's a lesson too late for the learning
Made of sand, oh it's made of sand In the wink of an eye my soul keeps on turning In your hand, in your hand Are you going away with no word of farewell Will there be not a trace for me to find Well I could have loved you better I didn't mean to be unkind Oh you must know it was the last thing on my mind As we walked all my thoughts they are a tumbling down down Round and around, round and round And underneath I hear the subway's trumblin' Underground, underground Are you going away with no word of farewell Will there be not a trace left behind Well I could have loved you better I didn't mean to be unkind You know that was the last thing on my mind You've got reasons of plenty for going This I know, this I know For the weeds have been steadily growing Please don't grow, please don't grow Are you going away with no word of farewell Will there be not a trace left to find Well I could have loved you better I didn't mean to be unkind You know that was the last thing on my mind |

Is there something that you've wanted
More than anything Something you took for granted Never stop to think Suddenly it's there in your eyes Suddenly you can recognize That something That certain something Do I want you Oh do I want you More than anything Did I love you Oh did I love you Never stop to think All my life I've wanted one thing more All my life I've been searching for That something That certain something Oh no no no Its not like that at all Oh no no no Not as I recall Is there something that you've wanted More than anything Something you took for granted Did you ever stop to think All my life I've wanted one thing more All my life I've been searching for That something That certain something |

This crappy west coast hippie scene is becoming quite a drag
It seems that all my freaky clothes are turning into rag The time has come to break the strings Free to form constructive things Tear the world right off it's hinges Chorus Vote for me Vote for me Sign across the line Vote for me Vote for me We can overtake the world For some millions in this place and their views are never heard They take precautions just in case you say a dirty word With adverts comments they promote Re-elections antidote, just a game to catch your vote Chorus Take up your pen You won't regret it Never met such an opportunity For the people who are in the way Make a new election day Please correct me if I seem to be making too much noise In this profession people rush to cut you down to size So after all the seats are played Dig my brain with a golden spade There's a fortune to be made Chorus and repeat |

Standing up in someone's place looking down on me
Now I may behold your face as it's supposed to be Get you in but tried enough to keep you be Give you in to take a...that you will be Chorus Oh may it not be so See me looking down I'm just looking on Standing with their heads... Closing 'round on me There's a pain inside my chest Where my soul should be Give you in but see you as they all smile down Get you in that meet you as they all cry now Chorus Repeat first two verses |

Hey Mr. judge, your trams are coming down the line
The car don't weigh too much if you can take some friends of mine I've heard they smuggle immigrants Along the western (middle?) line One summer time ... gypsy caravan Being so inclined run over the inspector man Discovered they were yellow And promptly threw them in the can Chorus Turn over turn over Turn over turn over Turn over turn over I'd hate to throw you back again Oh yes Turn the volume up until you blow the speaker cone Hey Mr. judge you have to give your dog a bone There's a rhino in the kitchen Send him on a tram back home Repeat first verse Chorus |

Can you believe no one has called anymore
Since the ball that was thrown in the spring Brother, beware, nobody dare anymore Since the days back when balls were the thing Open up said the world at the door Swimming around out in a hole in the ground Til she finds what she lost years ago In a nightdress, dirty old vest, she never rests, But the old folks at home never know Open up said the world at the door What are (? ) the heart, guess it's a part of the tale And the feeling that's being within Brother, beware, nobody dare anymore Since the days back when balls were the thing Open up said the world at the door |

Well her sister used to hate it,
So I never thought she'd make it. But she threw you all Supposing in a spangle wrapper. She will let you stroke her head, But if you move away your dead. She just break you up Before you realize it's happened. Chorus: But she can really do the brontosaurus And she can scream the heeby jeeby for us. Until you know what she's really got 'cos she can do it loud Well, she can do it, do it, do it! Now her daddy's getting old And he seemed to lose control When the brontosaurus Stormed into the house to trap her. Well her sister used to hate it So I never thought she'd make it. Until she shook you up Exactly like a firecracker Chorus: Really do the brontosaurus And she can scream the hee-by jee-by for us. Well you know she can really rock So do it, do it now. |

If you hear somebody knocking on your door
See somebody crawling out across the floor Baby it'll be me And I'll be looking for you If you see somebody climbing up a telegraph pole You find a new love then you shut the door It'll be me And I'll be looking for you Chorus I want to search in the city Where might you be I want to search the countryside I want... If you find a new bait on your fishing hook You see a funny face in your comic book It'll be me And I'll be looking for you Chorus Repeat last verse Chorus Said I'll be looking for you I'm gonna be looking for you |

Goin' to a party,
Meet me out after school. Well we're goin' to a place Where the jive is really cool. And if the band stops playin' There's a jukebox in the hall. With your blue dress on, And your folks all gone. You'll sure give the guys a ball. Chorus: Get that real guitar boy shakin', I'm a California man, Dance right on till the floors are breakin' I'm a California man. Well I cross my mamma so bad And this woman she's making me mad. So I don't care if your legs start aching, I'm a California man. I'm a California man. Oh my legs start to shiver When I hear you call my name. Well, my knees keep a knocking, And I'm feeling tired bugs me down. An' when we take off fine, An' my jeans are way down low. When I waggle my hips It's making me feel like a king of rock n' roll Chorus |

Saw the folks down below crying
Heard them on the radio lying Distant bells in the air Ringing out do they hear? Do they know it's growing very near? Everybody sitting here They don't realize They've got no time Saw the transmitter sway slowly Saw it crash in the lane coldly Saw the seas rushing in To the coast now they've seen Now they know it's growing very near Everybody sitting here They don't realize They've got no time Saw them gather in slow motion Setting sail on the tired ocean Heard the clouds rolling by Shouting down from the sky Hear them speak their last goodbye Everybody sitting here They don't realize They've got no time No time |

That's the road it's over there
And leading down to nowhere, This is the age when your allowed to have your own care, If you were half so bright you'd plan your life ahead Instead of waiting till you're old in your bed. Chorus: I'll be over tonight, if you say you might, I'll be over tonight, need to put you right. I'm so used to waiting that's entirely your decision Don't be restricted by the weightless views you're given. If you were half so bright you'd fight them from your head Instead of saving till your young heart be dead. Chorus: I'll be over tonight, if you say you might, I'll be over tonight, need to put you right. Well, the note you wrote in your overcoat, And you don't want to take it too far, oh I think you won't But I know you don't, but you always say that you are. Never let the riches that my endless (need) will give you, Show some concern for all the love that you must live through, If you were half so bright you'd plan your life ahead, Instead of waiting till you're old in your bed.

Played too hard and he died too young
To be certain of earning his (burnt out/word of? ) love He won a place in history And his name will live eternally Lived the life of a movie star And he waved to the people from a big black car Down in a book with the greatest names Was a lonely man growing tired of pain Tell me a story minister There ain't no time left to lose Ten man tried in the dead of night Was the great man's final words to write In a room that was soft and red The great man spoke outside my head Tell me a story minister There ain't no time left to lose |

Ahh...
In this life I've seen everything I can see woman I've seen lovers flying through the air hand in hand I've seen babies dancing in the midnight sun And I've seen dreams that came from the heavenly skies above I've seen old men crying at their own grave sides I've seen pigs all sittin' watching picture slides But I never seen nothing like you Do ya do ya want my life (woman) Do ya do ya want my love (I'm saying) Do ya do ya want my face (I need it) Do ya do ya want my mind Well I, heard the crowd singin' out of tune As they sat and sang Auld Lang Syne by the light of the moon I heard the preachers bangin' on the drums But I never heard nothin' like you In the country where the sky touches down on the field She lay her down to rest in the morning sun They come a-runnin' just to get a look Just to feel to touch her long black hair They don't give a damn Do ya do ya want my life (woman) Do ya do ya want my love (I'm saying) Do ya do ya want my face (I need it) Do ya do ya want my mind Do ya do ya want my life (woman) Do ya do ya want my love (I'm saying) Do ya do ya want my face (I need it) Do ya do ya want my mind Well I think you understand what I'm trying to say woman That is I'd like to save you for a rainy day I've seen enough of the world to know, baby That I've got to get it all to get it all to grow Do ya do ya want my life (woman) Do ya do ya want my love (I'm saying) Do ya do ya want my face (I need it) Do ya do ya want my mind Do ya do ya want my life (woman) Do ya do ya want my love (I'm saying) Do ya do ya want my face (I need it) Do ya do ya want my mind Do ya do ya want my life Do ya do ya want my love Do ya do ya want my face Do ya do ya want my mind Look out baby there's a plane a comin' |

Maybe the years have told you
Do you remember when life was just a new day? You know the story don't you? The one you told me when life was drifting away Aah! look at the brand new day Sitting here upon the milky way Aah! look at the dancing girls Sitting holding hands across the world You got a brand new lady Just like the one you left down in some other place Reading all the letters Saw your face coming through on the ouija board Look at the brand new day Sitting here upon the milky way Aah! look at the dancing girls Sitting holding hands across the world You heard the words of Aaron He spoke the truth in these things both great and small If you throw away the ashes You sweep them over the world on your own accord If you knew the real answer You'd see the kind of mistakes that you can't afford |

Bury a jar of shao-sing
When the girl is born Surely you know the wine will age Till she's fully grown Dont fly into the night Soon enough the world will end While the lantern is bright Chorus I could find a good time girl in chinatown Chinatown Dancing in my shoes See the eastern ladies walk in chinatown Chinatown Chain me down Chinatown Maybe ill drink your jasmine tea Then i'll hurry home Surely you know the likes of me Should be left alone Why they like a me for Soon enough the world will end If I answer the door Chorus Look at the tall pagoda through Through your window pane Watch me fly your dragon kite On a cold cold day Youll discover the white Orchids in my humble home While the lantern is bright Chorus |
