Freeway Madness

Young man made it to the city
Searching through the wet streets
Looking for a rock 'n' roll band
Caught the rip off train to freedom
A line of agents holding out their hand

Work your arses off forever
Midnight highways really bring you down
But you're there and you're working
So don't complain so many miss the train

Chorus

Find a sound lay it down
They say it's underground
Starts to sell do it well
But you never can tell

Now the young man's star shines brightly
Breaking hearts his records in the charts
Finds it hard to freak twice nightly
Falls in love the hardest fall of all

Chorus

He was just a lonely boy
A very well known clown
He was just a lonely boy and down

Chorus

She was just a lonely girl
But i didn't know if i should try
She was just a lonely girl
But i didn't know just which way she'd fly

Over by the corner now she stands
Cornered by the angels of her many plans

She was just the saddest girl
From that sad old american town
Staring at the empty stage
To see some ego tripping rock 'n' roll band

Over by the corner now she stands
Cornered by the angels of her many plans

Chorus

Love is good love is sweet
Lover hold my hand
Love is good love is sweet
Lover hold my hand

Solo

She was just a lonely girl
But i didn't know if i should try
She was just a lonely girl
But i didn't know just which way she'd fly

Chorus

There's a pain i cannot kill
And i guess i never will
Bluebird of love has knocked me down
Sang her songs then left town

Oh the lady sang so sweet
Had the kids up on her feet
Playing the town hall she took her bow
Left me this letter i'm reading now

Chorus

I was over the moon but my
Poor heart came back soon
There was only a rainbow left to see
Left to see

Oh she said it gets so tough
Airline schedules can be rough
Wanted to stay here and live with me
One more show and she was free

So i waited here at home
Played some stills and got myself stoned
And as i lay in that empty bed
Bluebird of love flew above my head

Chorus

Stay with me stay with me
Lay your head upon my shoulder

Chorus

I've got onions in my soup
I've got zebra in my zoo
I've got airplanes in my sky
Without you i will die

Chorus

Everybody says you're leaving
If you do you know it'll surely break my heart

I've got bad breath in the morning
I've got shepherd's pie red sky warning
I've got pictures on my wall
Without you i'm so small

Chorus

Everybody says your leaving
If you do you know you'll surely break my heart
Foolishly i still go on believing
As the sun paints crazy patterns on the park

Solo

I've got onions in my soup
I've got tobbies up my snoop
I've got airplanes in my sky
Without you i will die

Chorus

Allnight sailor poor man failure
Join one line there's no other
Cement mixer backroom fixer join one line
Theres's no other

I've been through this town i think i've stayed too long
There's some truth in what i say
Even though it's getting late i must be moving on
I can't stand vampire day

You whose hand shakes witness stand takes
Save yourself forget your brothers
Heroes die here bombers fly here
Killing one to save another

Solo

Allnight sailor poor man failure
Join one line there's no other
Heroes die here bombers fly here
Killing one to save another
