Lodger

Feel a bit roughed up, feel a bit frightened
Nearly pin it down some time
Red sail action wake up in the wrong town
Boy, i really get around

Thunder ocean
Thunder ocean
Red sails take me, make me sail along

Red sails, and a mast so tall
Red sail
Red sail

Do you remember we another person
Green and black and red and so scared
Graffiti on the wall kept us all in tune
Bringing us all back home

Red sails
Thunder ocean
Red sails
Sailor can't dance like you, ooh, yooou

Ahh, red sail
Red sail action
Red sail
Some reaction

Action boy seen living under neon
Struggle with a foreign tongue
Red sails make him strong
Action make him sail along
Life stands still and stares

The hinterland, the hinterland
We're gonna sail to the hinterland
And it's far far, far far far, far far far away
Its a far far, far far far, fa da, da da da

Johnny is a man
And he's bigger than you
But his overheads are high
And he looks straight through when you ask him how the kids are

He'll get home around seven
'cause the chevy's real old
And he could have had a cadillac
If the school had taught him right
And he could have married anne with the blue silk
Blouse
He could have married anne with the blue silk blouse

And the food is on the table
But the food is cold
Don't hit her

"can't you even cook?
What's the good of me working when you can't damn cook?"

Well johnny is a man
And he's bigger than her
I guess the bruises won't show
If she wears long sleeves
But the space in her eyes shows through

And he could have married anne with the blue silk blouse
He could have married anne with the blue silk blouse
Shows through
Shows through
Shows through

Oh, can you feel it in the way
That a man is not a man?
Can you see it in the sky
That the landscape is too high?

Like a nervous disease
And it's been there all along
It will tumble from the sky
It's been there all along

Project cancelled
Tumbling central
Red money

Can you hear it fall
Can you hear it well
Can you hear it at all

I was really feeling good
Reet petite and how d'ya do
Then i got the small red box
And i didn't know what to do
'cause my fingers could not grope
And i could not give it away
And i knew i must not drop it
Stop it, take it away

Such responsibility
It's up to you and me

"you know who i am," he said
The speaker was an angel
He coughed and shook his crumpled wings
Closed his eyes and moved his lips
"it's time we should be going"

(waiting so long, i've been waiting so, waiting so)
Look back in anger, driven by the night
Till you come
(waiting so long, i've been waiting so, waiting so)
Look back in anger, see it in my eyes
Till you come

No one seemed to hear him
So he leafed through a magazine
And, yawning, rubbed the sleep away
Very sane he seemed to me

(waiting so long, i've been waiting so, waiting so)
Look back in anger, driven by the night
Till you come
(waiting so long, i've been waiting so, waiting so)
Look back in anger, feel it in my voice
Till you come

(waiting so long, ahhh...)
(waiting so long, i've been waiting so, waiting so) (waiting so long, i've been waiting so, waiting so)
(waiting so long, ahhh...)

African nightmare one-time mormon
More men fall in hullabaloo men
I slide to the nearest bar
Undermine chairman i went too far
Bent on a windfall rent a sony
Wonder how the dollar went down
Gotta get a word to elizabeth's father
Hey no, he wished me well

Seemed like another day
I could fly into the eye of god on high

His burning eye will see me through
(one of these days, one of these days got get work through one of these days)
His burning eye will see me through
(one of these days, one of these days, got get work through one of these days)

Getting in mood for a mombassa night flight
Pushing my luck, gonna fly like a mad thing
Bare strip takeoff skimming over rhino
Born in slumber less than peace
Struggle with a child whose screaming dreaming
Drowned by the props all steely sunshine
Sick of you, sick of me
Lust for the free life
Quashed and maimed
Like a valuable loved one
Left unnamed

Seemed like another day
I could fly into the eye of god on high
Seemed like another day
I could fly into the eye of god on high

Over the bushland over the trees
Wise like orangutan that was me

His burning eye will see me through
(one of these days, one of these days got get work through one of these days)
His burning eye will see me through
(one of these days, one of these days, got get work through one of these days)
