Simple Minds

To the left and to the right, I can't believe that we would fight,
It's all so mediocre anyway.
Take me down unto your road where I could filter through the code.
There is no other way that's better paid.

You do it so well,
Blood Type O, it's all so long ago.
You do it so well,
You're Blood Type O, it's all imaginary.
But you do it so well.

You build it up and you burn it down.
You take the smile and make it frown.
I don't know why you ever wont look back.

If it was ever up to me,
I'd steal the crown and you would see.
I'd take the fight that's here in front of you.

You do it so well,
Blood Type O, it's all so long ago.
You do it so well.
Blood Type O, it's all imaginary.

But you do it so well.

You're Blood Type O.

You do it so well.
It's all so long ago.
It's all imaginary.
Blood Type O.

She tries not to shatter,kaleidoscope style
personality changes behind her red smile
every new problem brings a stranger inside
helplessly forcing one more new disguise

Christine-the strawberry girl
Christine-banana split lady
Christine-the strawberry girl
Christine-banana split lady

singing sweet savages lost in our world
This big eyed-girl sees her faces unfurl
Now's she's in purple
Now's she's the turtle

Disintegrating

Didn't have the money round to buy a Morry Thou
Been around and seen a lot to shake me anyhow
Begged and borrowed sometimes, I admit I even stole
The worse crime that I ever did was playing rock 'n roll.

But the money's no good
Just get a grip on yourself
But the money's no good
Just get a grip on yourself

Suffering convictions on a two-way stretch inside
The air in here is pretty thin, I think I'll go outside
Committed for insanity and crimes against the soul
The worst crime that I ever did was play some rock 'n roll.

But the money's no good
Just get a grip on yourself


But the money's no good
Just get a grip on yourself

And you should know

Now I find from week to week the sentence sticking fast
Turn the corner, rub my eyes and hope the world will last
Stranger from another planet welcome to our hole
Just strap on your guitar and we'll play some rock 'n roll

But the money's no good
Just get a grip on yourself
But the money's no good
Just get a grip on yourself

And you should know

You bring me lightening
You bring me lightening
You bring me lightening
You bring me lightening

Footsteps walking in again
Name checks begin again
Stand here let's soak it in again
The white lines and the inner pain

When I'm sorting out the wars
And breaking out the holes
That lead to me to the scars
Written on the wall
There's nothing I'd change
In my graffiti soul

You bring me lightening
You bring me lightening
You bring me lightening

Footsteps walking in again
The white lines stenciled in again

And when I'm sorting out the wars
And breaking out the holes
That lead me to the scars
They've written on the wall
There's nothing I'd change
In my graffiti soul

And when I am rushing in my head
Cruising in control
Admiring the spread
Beyond the neon sprawl
There's nothing I'd change
In my graffiti soul

You bring me lightening
You bring me lightening
You bring me lightening
You bring me lightening

And when I'm sorting out the wars
And breaking out the holes
That lead me to the scars
Written on the wall
There's nothing I'd change
In my graffiti soul

When I am rushing in my head
Cruising in control
Admiring the spread
Beyond the neon sprawl
There's nothing I'd change
In my graffiti soul

You bring me lightening
You bring me lightening
You bring me lightening
You bring me lightening

You bring me lightening
You bring me lightening
You bring me lightening
You bring me lightening

You bring me lightening
You bring me lightening
You bring me lightening
You bring me lightening
You bring me lightening
You bring me lightening

Here's to the babies in a brand new world
Here's to the beauty of the stars
Here's to the travellers on the open road
Here's to the dreamers in the bars

Here's to the teachers in the crowded rooms
Here's to the workers in the fields
Here's to the preachers of the sacred words
Here's to the drivers at the wheel

Here's to you my little loves with blessings from above
Now let the day begin
Here's to you my little loves with blessings from above
Now let the day begin, let the day begin

Here's to the winners of the human race
Here's to the losers in the game
Here's to the soldiers of the bitter war
Here's to the wall that bears their names

Here's to you my little loves with blessings from above
Now let the day begin
Here's to you my little loves with blessings from above
Let the day begin, let the day begin, let the day start

Here's to the doctors and their healing work
Here's to the loved ones in their care
Here's to the strangers on the streets tonight
Here's to the lonely everywhere

Here's to the wisdom from the mouths of babes
Here's to the lions in the cage
Here's to the struggles of the silent war
Here's to the closing of the age.

Here's to you my little loves with blessings from above
Now let the day begin
Here's to you my little loves with blessings from above
Let the day begin

Here's to you my little loves with blessings from above
Let the day begin
Here's to you my little loves with blessings from above
Now let the day begin, let the day begin, let the day start
