There's a cry that is heard in the city
From vivian at pentecost lane
A shriekin' and dancing till 4 a.m.
Another night of muscles and pain
I love you despite your convictions
That god never laughs at my jokes

I'm a young man at odds with the bible
But i don't pretend faith never works
When we're down on our knees
Prayin' at the bus stop

Now jesus he came in a vision
And offered you redemption from sin
I'm not sayin' that i don't believe you
But are you sure that it really was him
I've been told that it couldn've been blue cheese
Or the meal that we ate down the road

I'm a young man at odds with the bible
But i don't pretend faith never works
When we're down on our knees
Prayin' at the bus stop

How yeah

I'm going home
I've been gone much too long
She said she missed me
Since i been gone
I'll be back soon
Ain't no doubt
'cause she said she wanted my loving, my loving

No holding back i'm going home
No holding back i'm going home
I'm going stateside with my convictions
No holding back i'm going home
No holding back i'm going home
I'm going stateside with my convictions

I said i'm coming home soon
I don't know when
It i'll be sometime soon
Sooner than
I thought i'd be
I thought i'd be
I thought i'd be stateside sooner or later

Marilyn inflatables home on the range
Where the living is easy on a horse with no name
Kennedy convertibles home on the range
Where the suffering comes easy on a blonde with no brain

I'm going stateside
I'm going stateside

I'm going home
It's been so long
She said she missed me
And all the fun we've had
I think it be the best way
She said she missed me
Every, every way, so

No holding back i'm going home
No holding back i'm going home
I'm going stateside with my convictions
No holding back i'm going home
No holding back i'm going home
I'm going stateside with my convictions

I've been gone so long
I've been gone, i've been gone
I'm missing you

Marilyn inflatables home on the range
Where the living is easy on a horse with no name
Kennedy convertibles home on the range
Where the suffering comes easy on a ten dollar raise

I'm going stateside
I'm going stateside

Shine shine shine

Bleed like a crazed dad
These are the craze

Easy come come goto go back
In the valley of the dead man walks
How they drank from the jazz

Astral kestrel, fed into the featherfall
Fed him on a pencil carving you will never get

Shine shine shine
Bleed like crazed dad
These are the craze

Seek for a leather journey never stopped to think about
Hollywood king kong domino on the side

Street light levitated down stop the blue for 5 dollar gonna keep my domino on the side

Street light, looking right looking to the parlous parlours
Party on the dead put a net through his headache

Shine shine shine
Shine shine shine
Shine shine shine
Bleeeeed
Bleed like a crazed dad
These are the craze

Living on a movie all the shirley/charley films on film
Come together, party footnote on the footstone

Shine shine shine
Bleed like a crazed dad

Don't look back
Whatever it takes to save your life
I've believed i belonged to you for a long time
And my heart says no, no one but you

Like a rescue on a darkened street
Love walked into town
I was a victim of my own self-persecution
I'm a prisoner of love-but i'm coming up for air

Now don't be fooled by fools who promise you
The world and all that glitters more fool you

I'm such a hungry man that i beg you over and over and over and over
And i might take any highway to be there with you
Even the best men shiver in their beds
I'm loving you above everything i have
I'm a prisoner of love-just stay square
Like a sermon on a blues guitar
Love walked into town
I was drowning so slowly
One step in front of your shadow
I'm a prisoner of love but i'm coming up for air

Now don't be fooled by fools who promise you
The world and all that glitters more fool you

I smell the sickness sown in this city
It drives me to hide you, yeah, even deceive you
I'm so afraid for you that
I'll break any thug that maps out your passage to ruin
Even the best men shiver in their beds
I'm loving you above everything i have
I'm a prisoner of love
I'm a prisoner of love-just stay square
Take care take care
I'm a prisoner of love
Just stay square
Just stay square
Stay out the shooting gallery
Just stay square
I seen the best mans of my generation lay down in cemetary of clematry
Just take care
Just stay square
Just stay square
Don't look back
Beautiful soul
Don't look back
Beautiful soul

Whilst his mother's womb contained the growing baal
Even then the sky was waiting quiet and pale
Naked, young, immensely marvellous
Like baal loved it, when he came to us

That same sky remained with him in joy and care
Even when baal slept peaceful and unaware
At night a lilac sky, a drunken baal
Turning pious as the sky grows pale

So through hospital, cathedral, whiskey bar
Baal kept moving onwards and just let things go
When baal's tired, boys, baal cannot fall far
He will have his sky down there below

When the sinners congregate in shame together
Baal lay naked, revelling in their distress
Only sky, a sky that will go on forever
Formed a blanket for his nakedness

And that lusty girl, the world, who'll laughing yield
To the men who'll stand the pressure of her thighs
Sometimes gave him love-bites, such as can't be healed
Baal survived it, he just used his eyes

And when baal saw lots of corpses scattered round
He felt twice the thrill, despite the lack of room
"space enough" said baal, "then i'll thicken the ground
Space enough within this woman's womb"

Any vice for baal has got its useful side
It's the man who practices it, he can't abide
Vices have their point, once you see it as such
Stick to two for one will be too much

Slackness, softness are the sort of things to shun
Nothing could be harder than the quest for fun
Lots of strength is needed and experience too
Swollen bellies can embarrass you

Under gloomy stars and this poor veil of tears
Baal will graze a pasture till it disappears
Once it's been digested to the forest's teeth
Baal trod singing for a well earned sleep

Baal can spot the vultures in the stormy sky
As they wait up there to see if baal will die
Sometimes baal pretends he's dead, but vultures swoop
Baal in silence dines on vulture-soup

When the dark womb drags him down to its prize
What's the world still mean to baal, he's overfed
So much sky is lurking still behind his eyes
He'll just have enough sky when he's dead

Once the earth's dark womb engulfed the rotting baal
Even then the sky was up there, quiet and pale
Naked, young, immensely marvellous
Like baal loved it when he lived with us

I saw him by the dj
The way he danced was cool
They said i stood no chance
They called me little fool
Well here i am before you
And all your friends can see
You roasting like a turkey
It's just this flame in me

And no one can burn like me

I am a laser
Burning through your eyes
And i know what kind of man you are
And i long to hold you tight
I am a laser
Knowing right from wrong
And i know what kind of heart you have
A heart so big and strong

I dreamed how much i'd lay on you
Sitting by your side
Driving in my dusenburgh
Going for a ride
I'm going to turn my beam on
If only for an hour
You know i switch the heat on
When you feel my golden shower

And no one can burn like me

I am a laser
Burning through your eyes
And i know what kind of man you are
And i long to hold you tight
I am a laser
Knowing right from wrong
And i know what kind of heart you have
A heart so big and strong

I know what the boys call me
They think i'm black barbarella
But only one beam do i have
And that's this heartbeat of mine

I am a laser
Burning through your eyes
And i know what kind of man you are
And i long to hold you tight
I am a laser
Knowing right from wrong
And i know what kind of heart you have
A heart so big and strong

So long child, i'm on my way
And after all is done, after all is done
Don't be down, it's all in the past
Though you may be afraid

So long child, it's awful dark
And i've never felt the sun
I dread to think of when
When the wind blows
When the wind blows
When the wind blows
When the wind blows

Life burns a savage wound, angry and wrong
Trusting a twisted word, you'll run, run away
You'll take him home
You'll spit and taunt him
But they won't believe you
No matter what you'll say

So long child, it's awful dark
I never felt the sun
I dread to think of when
When the wind blows
When the wind blows
When the wind blows
When the wind blows

Some days he feels so empty
Just a talking head
Married to a klingon
Who could cream him in the press

God could detonate him
God's the one we pick to curse us
And 25 years pass him
Like an evening at the circus

Don't sacrifice yourself
Don't sacrifice yourself
Surprise yourself
Don't sacrifice yourself
Don't sacrifice yourself
Don't sacrifice yourself

There it is, the look, the winner you
Once talked of being
Give her one last kiss and
Dive right out the window screaming
No truth decent, it was summer from the waist down
She blew the troops right off your feet
She tells you she's god's grammy

Don't sacrifice yourself
Don't sacrifice yourself
Surprise yourself
Don't sacrifice yourself
Don't sacrifice yourself
Don't sacrifice yourself

Her, the only game in town, a queen of competence
Blind in front of mirrors, proving nothings says a lot

Wham bam thank you charlie
Vanity is all
You wander lonely to the scene
A crawling up the walls

Don't sacrifice yourself

Wish i was a sailor
Crossing an azure sea
Under leaden skies
Under your eyes

But i can't see too far
With these animal eyes
Can't hold my breath
Without your voice

And i'm danger-prone
For i'll be bound
I'll be as fast as hell
Without your touch

And i'll run run run run run run run
And i'll run run run run run
Without your love

I'm a goldman
In a soaring tower
And it's cold in here
Without your love

And there's trouble in here-trouble out there
Mainline problems till you no longer care
It's a long-low life-it's duty bound
No hope-no life-no you-ah ha

And i run run run run run run run
Yeah run run run run run
Without your love

I duck the shots-and tilt the world
I talk myself crazy-shoot the breeze
Shout to live-shoot to kill
Double up in pain-i'm on my knees

And i run run run run run run run
I run run run run run run run

She's just been to russia and they're dying their faces
They're dying over there

A pretty pink rose

That r'n'r lady takes a space-ship ride she's out of this world

A pretty pink rose

And we're living for you my love, we're living for you
And we're dying for you my love
Pretty pink rose

She tore down paris on the tall of thom paine
But the left wings broken the right insane

A pretty pink rose

Have a nice day, it's a killer, turn a cheek
It's a christian code

A pretty pink rose

And we're living for you my love, we're living for you
And we're dying for you my love

Pretty pink rose

She's the poor mans gold she's the anarchist crucible
Flying in the face of the despot cannible

She's a pretty pink rose

Never let it rain, never let it rain on the heart of the pretty pink rose

Pretty pink rose

And we're living for you my love, we're living for you
And we're dying for you my love, pretty pink rose

Get me thru the pain, thru the pain of the thorn on the pretty pink rose

Never let it rain, never rain never rain, the pretty pink rose

Take me to the heart, to the heart, to the heart, of the pretty pink rose

Take me to the heart, to the heart, to the heart

Take me to the heart, to the heart, to the heart, of the pretty pink rose

Take me to the heart, to the heart, to the heart

Take me to the heart, to the heart, to the heart,, of the pretty pink rose

Take me to the heart, to the heart, to the heart

There's too much talking for a night drive
Too much mist in front of my eyes
I'm not trying to lose control
But you're just pushin' pushin' pushin'for a fight
You look trapped, turn the radio on
Too much smoke, air conditioning gone
But i'm helpless in love with you
But you're just looking looking looking for a break

Is it love or is it what
Who's this guy i'm gonna blow away hey
What kind of love is he giving you
I'm-a-dizzy's what i'm trying to say
I said
Too dizzy-you can't have a lover
I'm too dizzy-it's me and no other
I'm a bad loser-i'm-a-shakin' in anger
I'm a too dizzy-you can't have no lover

You can go on dreaming every night
But i'm not letting you out of my sight
I'm-a-ten times the man than any guy around
But you're just itchin'-twitchin'-itchin' for a break

There's too much talking for a night drive
And too much mist in front of my eyes
But i'm helpless in love with you
But you're just looking looking looking for a break

Is it love or is it what
Who's this guy i'm gonna blow away
What kind of love is he giving you
I'm-a-dizzy's what i'm trying to say
I said
I'm too dizzy-you can't have a lover
I'm too dizzy-it's me and no other
And i'm a bad loser-i'm-a-shakin' in anger
I said too dizzy-you can't have no lover
I said too dizzy
Don't come any harder
I said i'm too dizzy
Don't come any closer
I said i'm too dizzy
I said too dizzy
Too dizzy
Too dizzy
Too dizzy you can't have no lover
Too dizzy
Too dizzy
I'm too dizzy

Now we can talk in confidence
Did you guess that we've been done wrong
Lies jumped the queue to be first in line
Such a shameless design

He thinks he's well screened from the man at the top
It's a shame that his children disagree
They cooly decide to sell him down the line
Daddy's brainwashing time

He's a dodo, no no didn't hear it from me
He's a dodo, no no didn't hear it from me

She's quite enthralled with the childhood of yore
When a unit was a figure not a she
When lovers chose each other now the perk's are due
Another memo to screw

She's a dodo, no no didn't hear it from me
She's a dodo, no no didn't hear it from me

Can you wipe your nose my child without them stlotting in your file a photograph
Can you sleep alone at night wake to find the scorching light of neighbour jim
He's come to turn you in

Another dodo, no no, didn't hear it from me
Another dodo, no no, didn't hear it from me
Another do, do
Didn't hear it from me

Julie
Oh
And i know

Like a mirror, sunday morning
When the dark clouds hung above
I saw you kneeling 'neath a garden
I saw the grim and stood above

What kind of meaning in a gun shot
It doesn't matter what they say
I never felt i aimed at no one
And who's gonna take the gun away

Julie
Pretend for me
That i'm someone in your life

Julie
I'm yours till the end
All the days and memories

I'm not a man of single reason
It's in every single man
This beat of jealous retribution
And every spurned heart makes its plan

Well, i know that you really loved him
And i know that if there's a god above
Through million times we'll remember
How the trail slips away

Julie
Pretend for me
Even only for a while

Julie
My soul is on the line
All the days and memories

Julie
Remember me
All the days of your life

Julie
I'm lost over you
Passion always ends this way
End this way

I, i will be king
And you, you will be queen
Though nothing will drive them away
We can beat them, just for one day
We can be heroes, just for one day

And you, you can be mean
And i, i'll drink all the time
'cause we're lovers, and that is a fact
Yes we're lovers, and that is that

Though nothing, will keep us together
We could steal time, just for one day
We can be heroes, for ever and ever
What d'you say?

Du
Koenntest du schwimmen
Wie delphine
Delphine es tun
Niemand gibt uns eine chance
Doch wir koennen siegen
Fuer immer und immer
Und wir sind dann helden
Fuer einen tag

Ich
Ich bin dann koenig
Und du
Du koenigin
Obwohl sie
Unschlagbar scheinen
Werden wir helden
Fur einen tag
Wir sind dann wir
An diesem tag

Ich
Ich glaubbte zu traeumen (zu traeumen)
Die mauer
Im ruecken war kalt (so kalt)
Schuesse reissen die luft (reissen die luft)
Doch wir kuessen
Als ob nichts geschieht (nichts geschieht)
Und die scham fiel auf ihre seite
O, wir koennen sie schlagen
Fuer alle zeiten
Dann sind wir helden
Nur diesen tag
Dann sind wir helden
Dann sind wir helden
Dann sind wir helden
Nur diesen tag

Dann sind wir helden
We're nothing
And nothing will help us
Maybe we're lying
Then you better not stay
But we could be safer
Just for one day
Oh oh oh oh

I was a stranger in the city
Out of town where the people i knew
I had the feeling of self-pity
What to do? what to do? what to do?
The outlook was decidedly blue
But as i walked through the foggy streets alone
It turned out to be the luckiest day i've ever known
A foggy day in a london town
Had me low and had me down
I viewed the morning with alarm
The british museum had lost its charm
How long, i wondered, could this thing last?
But the age of miracles had'nt passed
For suddenly i saw you there
And through foggy london town the sun was shining everywhere

It was a day in that blue month september
Silent beneath the plum trees' slender shade
I held her there
My love, so pale and silent
As if she were a dream that must not fade

Above us in the shining summer heaven
There was a cloud my eyes dwelled long upon
It was quite white and very high above us
Then i looked up
And found that it had gone

And since that day, so many moons in silence
Have swum across the sky and gone below
The plum trees surely have been chopped for firewood
And if you ask, how does that love seem now
I must admit, i really can't remember
And yet i know what you are trying to say
But what her face was like, i know no longer
I only know i kissed it on that day

As for the kiss, i long ago forgot it
But for the cloud that floated in the sky
I know that still and shall forever know it
It was quite white and moved in very high
It may be that the plum trees still are blooming
That woman's seventh child may now be there
And yet that cloud had only bloomed for minutes
When i looked up
It vanished on the air

(as heard on the ziggy farwell concert lp.)

White light - white light gonna drive me out of my brain
White light - white light gonna make me feel so insane
White heat - white heat shapin' them down to my toes
White light - white light's got it now, goodness knows

White light - white light gonna drive me out of my mind
White light - white light's surely gonna make me blind
White heat - white heat shaping way down to my toes
White light - white light could kill me now, goodness knows

What's that sound, what's that sound
Don't turn on, be dead or alive
No feeling
Here she comes
Oww, yeah

(oh, oh, oh, oh)
(oh, oh, oh, oh)
(ah, ah, ah, ah)

Living in lies by the railway line
Pushing the hair from my eyes
Elvis is english and climbs the hills
Can't tell the bullshit from the lies
Screaming along in south london
Vicious but ready to learn
Sometimes i fear that the whole world is queer
Sometimes but always in vain

So i'll wait until we're sane
Wait until we're blessed and all the same
Full of blood, loving life and all it's got to give
Englishmen going insane
Down on my knees in suburbia
Down on myself in every way

With great expectations i change all my clothes
Mustn't crumble at silver and gold
Screaming above central london
Never born, so i'll never get old

So i'll wait until we're sane
Wait until we're blessed and all the same
Full of blood, loving life and all it's got to give
Englishmen going insane
Down on my knees in suburbia
Down on myself in every way

Day after

Sometimes the world is a valley of heartaches and tears,
And in the hustle and bustle, no sunshine appears,
But you and i have our love always there to remind us
There is a way we can leave all the shadows behind us.

Volare, oh, oh!
Cantare, oh, oh, oh, oh!
Let's fly way up in the clouds
Away from the maddening crowds
We can sing in the glow of a star that i know of
Where lovers enjoy peace of mind
Let us leave the confusion and all disillusion behind
Just like birds of a feather, a rainbow together we'll find

Volare, oh, oh!
Cantare, oh, oh, oh, oh!
No wonder my happy heart sings
Your love has given me wings
Your love has given me wings
Your love has given me wings

I'm walking down the middle of the road
Close my eyes pretend i'm going home
The trees surround my mind like your perfume...

Your voice is in the wind that blows
I see your name on stony ground
I look around and everything is you.

Wake up each morning rise up from my bed
A little piece of leather 'round my head
To stop the sweat from dripping on my eye...

Your strength is in the axe i wield

Gets in my way
But i've got to stay)

I've got to earn some money

The night's are cold, your memories keep me warm
Just the thought of you can keep me working on
Showed your picture to the guys in my gang...

Whilst sitting 'round an open fire
My memories grow warm and strong
I look around and everything is you

Wash your face before your faded make-up makes a mark
The mirror will watch over you
Pierrot never comes so pack your face and chase the dark
The mirror's hung up on you
Don't be last, your friends and your reflection
It's all so direction now
Poor harlequin, you're quite an exception
Fay troubadour, on a downer
Gay harlequin, doesn't believe in you
Doesn't believe it's true, such a downer.

Still i keep my love for you
No place to hide no way to fall
Nowhere to lie no world so wide
I'm sick and tired of telling you
Don't let me down and down and down
Don't let me down and down and down

I know there's something in the wind
That crazy balence of my mind
What kind of fool are you and i?
Scared to death and tell me why
I'm sick and tired of telling you
Don't let me down and down and down
Don't let me down and down and down

Still i keep my love for you

You made a date with destiny
You jog-jog in my memory
You haunt in mind no fade away
I'm sick and tired of telling you
Don't let me down and down and down
Don't let me down and down and down
Don't let me down and down and down
I'm sick and tired of telling you

Still i keep my love for you
No place to hide, no way to fall
Nowhere to lie no world so wide
I'm sick and tired of telling you
Don't let me down and down and down
Don't let me down and down and down

Skin dance back-a-the condo
Skin heads getting to school
Beating on blacks with a baseball bat
Racism back in rule

White trash picking up nazi flags
While you was gone, there was war
This is the west, get used to it
They put a swastika over the door

Under the god
Under the god
One step over the red line
Under the god
Under the god
Ten steps into the crazy crazy

Washington heads in the toilet bowl
Don't see supremicist hate
Right wing dicks in their boiler suits
Picking out who to annihilate

Toxic jungle of uzi trails
Tribesmen just wouldn't live here
Fascist flare is fashion cool
Wel, you're dead-you just ain't buried (yet)

Under the god
Under the god
Oh yeah
Under the god
Under the god

As the walls came tumbling down
So, the secrets that we shared
I believed you by the palace gates.
Now the savage days are here

Under the god
Yeah
Yeah

Mm
Oh oh oh

One step over the red line

One step into the crazy crazy

Crazy eyed man with a shot gun
Hot headed creep with a knife
Love and peace and harmony
Love you could cult with a life

Raging down

When you speak you speak to me
When you sleep you sleep by me
When you wake you wake with me
When you walk you follow two steps behind in life

Shadows stalking, ever grasping sinking for a need
It wasn't love it was the fix of never wanting me
Now i'm gone, you're tossing and you turning in your sleep
That's the name of the game, of the game, of the game

Cry, miss peculiar
You'll cry all the more, now i'm gone
I was the monkey on your back
Take a look at how lucky you are

When you speak you speak to me
When you sleep you sleep by me
When you wake you wake with me
When you walk you follow two steps behind

Cry, cry, miss peculiar
You'll cry all the more, now i'm gone
I was the monkey on your back
Take a look at how lucky you are

Some days are heaven, i will not deny
Probing the daylight cascading the skyline
Tripping and diving and losing it all
Back came the night time living for more

Cry, cry, miss peculiar
You'll cry all the more, now that i'm gone
I was the devil monkey on your back
Take a look at how lucky you are

When you speak you speak to me
When you sleep you sleep by me
When you wake you wake with me
When you walk you follow two steps behind

La la la la la

London bye ta-ta
Strange young town
London bye ta-ta
Brought me down
Don't like your new face
That's not nice
Got to go far, far
London bye ta-ta

Gigi, gigi, gigi, gigi
Take me away
Gigi, gigi, gigi, gigi
Take me today
The boys in the clothes shop
Sold me curry for a pound
His cardboard face is soggy,
And his sellings thorny crown

I loved her!
I loved her!
I've got to get away,
But i loved her!

Oh-oh-oh
London bye ta-ta
Strange young town
London bye ta-ta
Brought me down
Don't like your new face
That's not nice
Got to go far, far
London bye ta-ta

Red light, green light
Make up your mind
Red light, green light
You're far too un-kind
She loves to love all beauty,
And she says the norm is funny
But she whimpers in the morning
When she finds she has no money

I loved her!
I loved her!
I've got to get away now,
But i loved her!
Ahhh!

Oh-oh-oh
London bye ta-ta
Strange young town
London bye ta-ta
Brought me down
Don't like your new face
That's not nice
Got to go far, far
London bye ta-ta
Ahh

Oh-oh-oh
London bye ta-ta
Strange young town
London bye ta-ta
Brought me down
Don't like your new face
That's not nice
Got to go far, far
London bye ta-ta
Oh, london bye ta-ta
Oh, london bye ta-ta
Oh, eh

Oh come all you children
Don't grab that scabby hand
It belongs to mr. sniff and tell
It belongs to the candyman

Don't whore your little bodies
The worms of paradise
Like everest it's fatal
It's peaks are cold as ice

They're riding on the subways
They're riding on the streets
They'll ride you down to the gutters
They'll ride you off your feet

Gonna hit crack city
Hit crack city

Yeah piss on the icon monsters
Whose guitars bequeath you pain
They'll face you down to their level
With their addictions and their fast lanes

Corrupt with shaky visions
And crack and coke and alcohol
They're just a bunch of assholes
With buttholes for their brains

You can't keep on riding
Pain you know so well
They'll ride you down to the gutter
And they ride you down to hell

Gonna hit crack city
Hit crack city

And you the master dealer
May death be on your brow
May razors slash your mainline
I'm calling you out right now

May all your vilest nightmares
Consume your shrunken head
May the ho-ho-hoounds of paranoia
Dance upon your stinking bed

Don't look at me you fuckhead
This nation's turning blue
It's stink it fouls the highways
It's filth it sticks like glue

Hit crack city
Hit crack city

Hit carck city

They'll bury you in velvet
And place you underground
The hatred of yourself
And the sufferings that conspire
To take your little body and throw it to the
Fools

And the hounds that rip your flesh
Only your mind can take you out of this
Only your mind or death

I'm riding on the subway
The subway down to hell
I've finished with this journey
Oh i seem to know it well

Oh gonna hit crack city
Hit crack city
Hit crack city
Hit crack city
Hit crack city

Yeah

Hit crack city

If a womans hips are ample
Then i want her in the hay
Skirt and stocking all a rample
Cheerfully
For that's my way
If the woman bites in pleasure
Then i wipe it clean with hay
My mouth, her lap together
Not really
For that's my way
If a woman goes on loving
When i feel to tired to play
I'd smile and go off waving, i'm leaving
For that's my way

Gunamn, my sort of star, we put you there
You're all of us now, you're all over town
An wrappers and cans, you're bigger then life
You're braver than dad
You're a gunman, holding your own
You're a gunman, never alone

Gunamn, leader of packs, shadow of death
Killer in chic, never betrayed, friend of our kids

You're a gunman, holding your own
You're a gunamn, never alone

Gunman . . . gunman . . . trader in arms
Kids on the street, buying your charms

Gunman, my sort of star, we put you there
You're all of us now, you're all over town
On wrappers and cans, you're bigger than life
You're braver than dad
You're a gunman, holding your own
You're a gunman, you're never alone
Gunman . . . gunamn

Gunman, my sort of star, we're bleeding for you, we put you there
What would you give, your all of us now, we're burning for you
You're all over our town, gunman, you're on rappers and cans
You're bigger than life and we're dying for you and you're braver than dad, gunman. . .
You're woman are dogs
But they're braver than you

We're bleeding for you
What would you give
We're burning for you, gunman

We invented you, now we've gotta live with you, you're more solid
Than a rock, a rock of cocaine or crack or ice or death
Like a rock of death, like a gravestone, gunman. . .

I've nothing much to offer
There's nothing much to take
I'm an absolute beginner
And i'm absolutely sane
As long as we're together
The rest can go to hell
I absolutely love you
But we're absolute beginners
With eyes completely open
But nervous all the same

If our love song
Could fly over mountains
Could laugh at the ocean/sail over heartaches second time
Just like the films
There's no reason
To feel all the hard times
To lay down the hard lines
It's absolutely true

Nothing much could happen
Nothing we can't shake
Oh we're absolute beginners
With nothing much at stake
As long as you're still smiling
There's nothing more i need
I absolutely love you
But we're absolute beginners
But if my love is your love
We're certain to succeed

If our love song
Could fly over mountains
Could laugh at the ocean/sail over heartaches second time
Just like the films
There's no reason
To feel all the hard times
To lay down the hard lines
It's absolutely true

Sickened by sun, with rainstorms lashing him rotten
A looted wreath crowning his tangled hair
Every moment of his youth apart from its dream was forgotten
Gone the roof overhead, but the sky was always there

Oh you, who are flung out, alike from heaven and from hades
You murderers who've been so bitterly repaid
Why did you part from the mothers who nursed you as babies
It was peaceful and you slept and there you stayed

Still he explores and rakes the absinthe green oceans
Though his mother has given him up for lost
Grinning and cursing with a few odd tears of contrition
Always in search of that land where life seems best

Loafing through hells and flocked through paradises
Calm and grinning, with a vanishing face
At times he still dreams of a small field he recognises
With a blue sky overhead and nothing else

When comes the shaking man
A nation in his eyes
Striped with blood and emblazed tattoo
Streaking cathedral spire

They say

They say

They say
He has no brain

They say
He has no mood

They say
He was born again

They say
Look at him climb

They say 'jump'
They say 'jump'

They say
He has two gods

They say
He has no fear

They say
He has no eyes

They say
He has no mouth

They say hey that's really something
They feel he should get some time
I say he should watch his ass
My friend don't listen to the crowd
They say 'jump'

They say 'jump'

Watch out

Watch out

They say hey that's really something
They feel he should get some time
I say he should watch his ass
My friend don't listen to the crowd
They say 'jump'
Juuuuummmppp
Got to believe somebody

There's no hold
The moving has come through
The danger passing you
Turns it's face into the heat and runs the tunnels
It's so cold
The dog dug up fine dogs
The stiches torn and broke
The wrong lick fist you choke has hit the blood light

Glass traps opened and close on nite flights
Broken necks, feather plates pressed and warped
Be my love, we will be gods on nite flights
With only one promise, only one way to fall

Glass traps opened and close on nite flights
Broken necks feather ways press the walls
Be my love, we will be gods on nite flights
With only one promise, only one way to call

On nite flights

On nite flights

Only one way to fall

On nite flights

On nite flights

On nite flights

Only one way to fall

I tried to break away from you
From the spics and blacks and the gum you chew
Where the posters are torn by the muggin gangs
By the faggy parks and the burnt out vans

I've got 99 years of laying in the dark and i'm far too young to lie
I've got 99 ways to play my guitar it's going to pay me before i die

So bob your sweet head
Brother ziggy going to play
I'm just about the best you can hear
Gonna rock it in your head
Shazam and come ball
With my guitar and mr. bang o
We can give you sweet head

I'm tough as glass and clean as night
Well if looks can love we can love all right
I'm your rubber peacock angelic whore
I'm a wrought iron face upon the wall

I had 99 days of murder come life and i'm running away from it all
I got a bedroom every mirror in town they're going to claim me if i fall

So bob your sweet head
Brother ziggy going to play
I'm just about the best you can hear
Gonna rock it in your head
Shazam and come ball
With my guitar and mr. bang o
We can give you sweet head
Sweet head
Give you sweet head

While you down there

See my eyes of blocked emotion, see my tremble, see my fall
Traumatics thick and fast, your faith in me can last
Besides i'm known to lay you, one and all

Look south the way your mother dwells
If she knew what's going down, she'd give you hell
I'm the kind of man she warned me of
Till there was rock you only had god

You and i have a mutual vow we both like young, and we both like loud
I got pretty shoes and i'm kid and proud i'm street side out with my ear to the crowd

So bob your sweet head
Brother ziggy going to play
I'm just about the best you can hear
It's gonna rock it in your head
Shazam and come ball
With my guitar and mr. bang o
We can give you a sweet head

Move along sir

Ho

Once there was a fellow and his name was buzz
He was just a rookie cop, just a baby buzz
He patroled the sunset strip in the land of the free and the home of the hip
He protected you and me from evil women like poor alice d

Alice was the girl that all the hippies dread
And they called her sweet alice the head
Alice it was plain to see, was full of pot and std
She'd attract a great big crowd, because her inner piece was much too loud

Good buzz did the thing that all the good buzz must
Stuck his gun in alice's back and said "this is a buzz"
Shone the flashlight in her eyes, she began to hypnotise
Buzz said "what a wild sensation, guess this must be hallucination"

Love is so sensational, when you fall in love with eyes dilational
Now they're taking pills in shops, buzz is not afraid of what
Buzz and alice d have shown the way of where the buzz might be some day
Buzz is still a cop of course, he's the pusher on the porch
He's protecting you and me from evil women like poor alice d

I'm rolling out of the ferris wheel
No one looks and no one feels
But the baby can the baby can

The way it feels just feeling you
Holding out and falling out
But the baby can the baby can

I'm the jumping man
I'm the jumping man

But baby can float
Baby can drown
Baby can touch her toes
Toss her hair
Makes you feel you're going nowhere
Baby can dance
Baby can dance
Baby can walk around the town
Attract a man and cut him down

I'm the shadow man the jumping jack
The man who can and don't look back
But the baby can the baby can

I'm rolling out of the ferris wheel
No one looks and no one feels
But the baby can the baby can

And the way it feels
I'm feeling you

But baby can float
Baby can drown
Baby can touch her toes
Toss her hair
Makes you feel you're going nowhere
Baby can dance
Baby can dance
Baby can walk around the town
Attract a man and cut him down

Everyday is far away

Everyday, everyday

It's over now

It's over now

It's over now

It's over now

It's over now

But baby can float
Baby can drown
Baby can touch her toes
Toss her hair
Makes you feel you're going nowhere
Baby can dance
Baby can dance
Baby can walk around the town
Attract a man and cut him down

But baby can float
Baby can drown
Baby can touch her toes
Toss her hair
Makes you feel you're going nowhere
Baby can dance
Baby can dance
Baby can walk around the town
Attract a man and cut him down

Me, i'm looking for hot flesh

Needles and pins and video crime

Trash time bundy, death row chic
Chop it up
Haunt this street from half past ten
Chop it up

Blood on video-video crime
Video crime
Needles and pins and video crime
Video crime
Late night cannibal-cripples decay
Just can't tear my eyes away

Ain't got no room for charity
This skeleton's mine
Ain't got room for hollywood

Show us the way to the next whiskey bar
Oh don't ask why
For we must find the next whiskey bar
I tell you we must die
I tell you we must die
I tell you we must die
I tell you we must die

Oh moon of alabama
It's time to say goodbye
We've lost our good ole mama
And must have whiskey or you know why

Oh show us the way to the next dollar
Oh don't ask why
For we must find the next little dollar
Or if we don't find the next little dollar
I tell you we must die
I tell you we must die

Oh moon of alabama
It's time to say goodbye
We've lost our good ole mama
And must have dollar or you know why

When people call us revolutionary
They're just tryin' to see
All that we choose

When all we want is everybody free
The universe would be one brotherhood

It isn't wrong to be prepared to fight
Together to unite if we believe
In giving everything our heart and soul
Until we reach the goal we should achieve

It shouldn't matter if we're brown or white
Yellow or black as night to anyone
We're all born equal with the self same rights
Sharing the same daylight under the sun

If loving freedom makes me quality
Of opportunity is where revolutionary
Constantly, fervently, firmly
Revolutionary

My death waits like an old roue'
So confident, i'll go his way
Whistle to him
And the passing time...
My death waits like a bible truth
At the funeral of my youth
We drank for that -
The passing time..
My death waits like
A witch at night
As surely as our love is right
Let's not think of that or the passing time

But whatever lies behind the door
There is nothing much to do...
Angel or devil, i don't care
For in front of that door...
There is you.

My death waits like a beggar blind
Who sees the world through an unlit mind
Throw him a dime
For the passing time...
My death waits to allow my friends
A few good times
Before it ends
Let's not think about
And the passing time..
My death waits there, between your thighs,
Your cool fingers will close my eyes,
Let's not think about the passing time.

For whatever lies behind the door
There is nothing much to do...
Angel or devil, i don't care
For in front of that door...
There is you.

My death waits there among the leaves
In magician's mysterious sleeves,
Rabbits and dogs, and the passing time...
My death waits there, among the flowers
Where the blackest shadows cowers
So let's pick lilacs
The passing time..
My death waits there, in a double bed
Sails of oblivion and my head
Let's not think about
The passing time.

But whatever lies behind the door
There is nothing much to do...
Angel or devil, i don't care
For, in front of that door...
There is you.

La mia mente ha presol il volo
Un pensiero uno solo
Io cammino mentre dorme la citta'

I soui occhi mella notte
Fanali bianchi nella notte
Una voce che mi parla chi sara'?

Dimmi ragazzo solo dove uai,
Perche' tanto dolore?
Hai perduto senza dubbio un grande amore
Ma di amorie e'tutta peina la citta,

No ragazza sola, no no no
Stavolta sei in errore
Non ho perso solamente un grande amore
Ieri sera ho perso tutto con lei.

Ma lei
I colori della vita
Dei cieli blu
Una come lei non la trovero' mai piu

Ora ragazzo solo dove andrai
La notte e'un grande mare
Se ti serve la mia mano per nuotare
Grazie na stasera io vorrei morire
Perche' sai negli occhi miei
C'e' un angelo, un angelo
Che ormai non vola piu' che ormai non vola piu'
Che ormai non vola piu'
C'e' lei
I colori della vita
Dei cieli blu
Una come lei non la trovero' mai piu'

These are silver wings
These are golden eyes
These are floating clouds

Heaven is smiling down, heaven's girl in a wedding gown

I never gonna be so good
Just like a good brochure
I'm gonna change my way
Angel for love

Of all the saints alive
Don't i feel like a saint alive
She's not mine for eternity
Though i'll never fly so high
I smiling

I believe in the magic
Angel for love

In the magic
Angel for love

I believe in magic
Angel for love

In the magic
Angel for love

I believe in the magic

"within you"
By david bowie in the movie "labyrinth"
How you turned my world, you precious thing
You starve and near exhaust me
Everything i've done, i've done for you
I move the stars for no one

You've run so long
You've run so far

Your eyes can be so cruel
Just as i can be so cruel
Though i do believe in you

Yes i do

Live without the sunlight
Love without your heartbeat
I, i can't live within you
I can't live within you

(sigh)

I, i can't live within you

Here's the town in which i live petunia green
Here's the shop and here's the man who sold me laces for my shoes
There is mr.marcus. boys they say he's mad
'here's the battle that they won' silver treetop school for boys

Early days were good as gold
An apple here an apple there
And everywhere a 'yes sir', 'no sir'
They made me roll the cricket pitch once a day
I've never been so happy than at silver treetop school for boys

The mowing machine was leaving small piles of grass
That when the ??? had risen to the pipe of mr.marcus
The smell of teaching fell upon the cricket field
Smiling, laughing, rolling about at silver treetop school for boys.

Hey there
They call in the staff room
They call in the canteen
"hey come and look at what i found"
"i found some boys and masters sitting
On the cricket ground at silver treetop school for boys"

The english master, sir, he wores a purple mask
And the head, was usually sad, was swinging from a tree
Mr.brown the physics man is off his head
And everyone just loves the grass at silver treetop school for boys
Lalalalalalala lalala lalalalalalalalala lalalalalalalalala lalalalalalalalala

Where's the pain in the violent night?
I'm depressed by the grill
I stay over many years
I should have thought of that
For the love of the money
Like a black-hearted vile thing
It's the nature of being

It's too many lonely nights
I can't tell bad from wrong
I can't pass you by
Too exchanging
You've been around
But you've changed me

When the flesh meets the spirit world
Where the traffic is thin
I slip from a vacant view
I should have thought of that
And the sound of tomorrow
Like a black-hearted vile thing
Like the silence of tension

It's too many lonely nights
I can't tell good from bad
I can't pass you by
Too exchanging
You've been around
But you've changed me

You've been around
Can't pass you by
You've been around
But you've changed me

Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-change!

Too exchanging

You've been around

But you've changed me

You've been around

Can't pass you by

You've been around

But you've changed me

You've been around

Can't pass you by

You've been around

But you've changed me

do you remember a guy that's been
In such an early song
I've heard a rumour from ground control
Oh no, don't say it's true

They got a message from the action man
"i'm happy, hope you're happy too
I've loved all i've needed love
Sordid details following"

The shrieking of nothing is killing
Just pictures of jap girls in synthesis and i
Ain't got no money and i ain't got no hair
But i'm hoping to kick but the planet it's glowing

Ashes to ashes, funk to funky
We know major tom's a junkie
Strung out in heaven's high
Hitting an all-time low

Time and again i tell myself
I'll stay clean tonight
But the little green wheels are following me
Oh no, not again
I'm stuck with a valuable friend
"i'm happy, hope you're happy too"
One flash of light but no smoking pistol

I never done good things
I never done bad things
I never did anything out of the blue, woh-o-oh
Want an axe to break the ice
Wanna come down right now

Ashes to ashes, funk to funky
We know major tom's a junkie
Strung out in heaven's high
Hitting an all-time low

My mother said to get things done
You'd better not mess with major tom
My mother said to get things done
You'd better not mess with major tom
My mother said to get things done
You'd better not mess with major tom
My mother said to get things done
You'd better not mess with major tom

You're like a sailor with a girl on every shore
Stay with them now for they won't see you no more
Like a gypsy forever on the run
Stay for a while, while you look for a whore

Like that sailor leaves, come back again
Stay for a while, and they won't see you again
Like that gypsy caravan forever on the run
You stay for a while, then you pick up and go

That's how you show your love for me
That's how you show your love for me

You're like
Here today, gone tomorrow
Each time you call, you leave a little sorrow
You're like
Here today, gone tomorrow
Each time you call, you leave a little sorrow

You're like that big, big star, he's tore the town apart
Givin' everyone to console their aching heart
Like that snow that fell, looks so wrong and out of place
Stay for a while, then you leave without a trace

That's 'xactly like that star, he tore the town apart
Leave everyone to console their aching heart
Like that snow that fell, looks so wrong and out of place
Stay for a while, leave without a trace

That's how you show your love for me
That's how you show your love for me

Here today, gone tomorrow
Each time you call, you leave a little sorrow
You're like

Over the wall we go
All coppers are nanas
Over the wall we go
Leave 'em a note saying "happy new year"

I know all the best ways to break out of here
I helped a young laddie called ivan
I bundled him over the wall last night
Then he climbed back and he grabbed me tight
He uttered some words that i can't say to you
'cause he remembered that he was a screw

Over the wall we go
All coppers are nanas
Over the wall we go
Leave 'em a note saying "happy new year"

My name is henry though some say i'm thick
I've spent half me life in and out of the nick
My mum sends me presents to keep me in style
Soggy old cakes and hundreds of files
Now i sussed all them files i'm a clever young man
Now i look stupid with manicured hands

Over the wall we go
All coppers are nanas
Over the wall we go
Leave 'em a note saying "happy new year"

Spoken:

Over the wall we go
All coppers are nanas
Over the wall we go
Leave 'em a note saying "happy new year"

My name is regie the scandolous mind
I got seven years so i gossip my time

I'm a privilidged corpse and my uniform is blue
The new lads would ask me if i am a screw
I'll tell them oh cheeky not even for you

Over the wall we go
All coppers are nanas
Over the wall we go
Leave 'em a note saying "happy new year"

A little piece of you
The little peace in me
Will die
For this is not america

Blossom falls to bloom
This season
Promise not to stare
Too long
For this is not a miracle

There was a time
A storm that blew so pure
For this could be the biggest sky
And i could have
The faintest idea

Snowman melting
From the inside
Falcon spirals
To the ground
So bloody red
Tomorrows clouds

A little piece of you
The little piece in me
Will die
For this is not america

There was a time
A wind that blew so young
For this could be the biggest sky
And i could have the faintest idea

This could be the biggest sky
This could be a miracle
This could be etc

I'm waiting for my man
Twenty-six dollars in my hand

Translation by mia berg.
Schan aus deinen fenster, schau wer draussen sitzt
Ich bin ? hier wartet schon die ganze nacht
Wenn du dann dein haus verlaesst winke ich und ruft

Ah ha, wunder schoenes maedchen
Mein brennend verlangen er wartet am montag
Gib mir dein herz und lieb mich bis dienstag

Da da da dum
Da da da dum

Who's that hiding in the apple tree, clinging to a branch
Don't be afraid it's only me, hoping for a little romance
If you lie beneath my shade, i'll keep you nice and cool

Ohh, beautiful baby
I was very lonely till i met you on sunday
My passion's never-ending and i'll love you till tuesday

Da da da dum
Da da da dum
Da da da dum
Da da da dum

Let the wind blow through your hair, be nice to the big blue sea
Don't be afraid of the man in the moon, because it's only me
I shall always watch you until my love runs dry

Ohh, beautiful baby
My heart's a flame, i'll love you till tuesday
My head's in a whirl and i'll love you till tuesday
Lieb, lieb, lieb, lieb, lieb mich bis dienstag
Lieb, lieb, lieb, lieb, lieb mich bis dienstag

Da da da dum
Da da da dum
Da da da dum
Da da da dum
Da da da dum
Da da da dum
Da da da dum
Da da da dum

Na ja vieleicht wird sie auch mittwoch

And as the sparrow sings
Dawn chorus for
Someone else to hear
The thinker sits alone growing older
And so bitter

She gave them life,
She gave them all
They drained her very soul dry...dry

Hey hey hey bitter girl
We're out to sitting here digging you
We flew done here just to figure you
It's easy
Don't be so bitter
Oh oh oh crazy girl
You gave too much and you got nothing
Too many problems and not one thing
In return
Left high and dry
Door

And as the sun rise stream
Flickers on
She finds lavender
To fight the beckoning

I had skin like leather and the diamond-hard look of a cobra
I was born blue and weathered but i burst just like a super-nova
I could walk like brando right into the sun, an' dance just like a casanova
With my black-jack and jacket and my hair slicked sweet
Silver studs on my duds just like a harley in heat
When i strut down the street i can hear its' heartbeat
The sisters fell back and said "don't that man look pretty"
The cripple on the corner cried out "penny, nickels for your pity"
Them gasoline boys down-town, they sure talk gritty
It's so hard to be a saint in the city

I was the king of the alley, mama, i could talk some trash
I was the prince of the paupers, crowned down-town at the beggars' bash
I was a pimps main prophet, i kept everything cool
Just a back-street gambler with the luck to lo..ose
And when the heat came down it was left on the ground, mama
Devil appeared to me like jesus through the steam in the street, an'
Showed me a hand that even the cops couldn't beat
And i felt his hot breath on my neck as i dove into the heat, and it's so hard to be a saint when you're just a poor bo..oy out on the street

And the sages of the subway sit just like the living dead
As the tracks clack out the rhythm, the eyes fixed straight ahead
They ride the line of balancin', hold on by just a thread
Well, it's too hot in these tunnels, you can get hit up by the heat
When you get up to get out at your next stop, but they push you right down in your seat
And your heart starts beatin' faster as you struggle to your feet
Then you're out of that hole!, back on the street
And them south-side sisters, they sure look pretty
And the cripple on the corner cries out "nickels for your pity"
And them down-town boys, they sure talk gritty
It's so hard to be a saint in the c..c..city

I'll give you back my right to be free
I'll give you back my farm and i'll give you back my house
I'll give you back my right to be free

I've got moon, i've got sun
Lightning, lightning, lightning
I've got me, i've got you
Frightening, frightening, frightening

I'll give you back my farmland and i'll give you back my house
I'll give you back my right to be free
I'll give you back my farmland and i'll give you back my house
I'll give you back my right to be free

I've got moon, i've got sun
(i've got) lightning, lightning, lightning
I've got me, i've got you
(it's) frightening, frightening, frightening

Well, the joint was rocking

Going round 'n' round
Yeah, reeling and a-rocking
What a crazy sound
Well, they never stopped rocking
'til the moon went down

Well it sounded so sweet
I had to take me a chance
I rose out of my seat
And had to dance
I started moving my feet
And clapping my hands

Yeah, we kept on rocking

Going round 'n' round
Yeah, reeling and a-rocking
What a crazy sound
Well, they never stopped rocking
'til the moon went down

When the police knocked
Those doors flew back

But kept on rocking

Going round 'n' round
Yeah, reeling and a-rocking
What a crazy sound
Well, they never stopped rocking

Yeah, it kept on rocking

Going round 'n' round
Yeah, reeling and a-rocking
What a crazy sound
Well, they never stopped rocking
'til the moon went down

Between the dead ring ash of extreme defense
The lonely groups of company boys
Snapping pictures of scrawny limbs and toothy grins
These are children riding naked on their tourist pals
While the hollows that pass for eyes swell from withdrawal
As he lies on a mattress in a rat infested room
Talking 'bout his family and the cold back home

Between the dull cold eyes and the mind unstable
No one over here reads the papers pal
'tween the dull cold eyes and the mind unstable
He's a clean trick and he's shopping for girls

A small black someone jumps over the crazy white guard
Cranking up the volume of a michael jackson song

Between the dull cold eyes and the mind unstable
No one over here reads the papers pal
'tween the dull cold eyes and the mind unstable
He's a clean trick and he's shopping for girls

Where the frangipani scents the air
She mouths a word that breaks his stare
He grunts his reply in a garrulous croak
"that's a mighty big word for a nine year old"

Between the dull cold eyes and the mind unstable
No one over here reads the papers pal
The dull cold eyes and the mind unstable
He's a clean trick and he's shopping for girls

Shopping for girls, shopping for girls
Gaze down into her eyes for a million miles
Wanna give her a name and a clean rag doll

I took this walk to ease my mind
To find out what's gnawing at me
Wouldn't think to look at me,
That i've spent a lot of time in education
It all seems so long ago
I'm a thinker, not a talker
I've no-one to talk to, anyway

I can't see the road
For the rain in my eyes
Ahhh ...

I live above the grocers store,
Owned by an austrian
He often calls me down to eat
And he jokes about his broken english,
Tries to be a friend to me
But for all my years of reading conversation,
I stand without a word to say

I can't see the bridge
For the rain in my eye
Ahhh...

And the world is full of life
Full of folk who don't know me
And they walk in twos or threes or mor
While the light that shines above the grocer's store
Investigates my face so rudely
And my essays lying scattered on the floor
Fulfill their needs just by being there
And my hands shake, my head hurts,
My voice sticks inside my throat
I'm invisible and dumb,
And no-one will recall me

And i can't see the water
Through the tears in my ey-y-yes

There was a time, the laughing time
I took my heart to every party
They'd point my way
"how are you today?"
"will you make us laugh? chase our blues away?"
Their funny man won't let them down
No, he'd dance and prance and be their clown
That time, the laughing time
When even a fool learns to love

The clown turned around
And saw her smile, oh how she loved me
She'd clap her hands and beg me stay
To make her laugh, to make her life gay
Who wants the love of all the world
When here was love in the eyes of just one girl
That day, that precious day
When even a fool learns to love

But oh, how i dreamed, a marvelous dream
Where all of the heavens or so it had seemed
With thunderous applause looked down from above
On a clown and an angel so much in love
I'll stay with my dream, it takes such a dream
And even a fool learns to love

That day, that hateful day
The joke turned stale, the game was over
Those spiteful words "oh, go away. who wants to play?"
"it's getting late now."
My world, my funny world
Had lost its mask and shown a broken heart
A time, a sour time
When even a fool learns to love

But oh, how i dreamed, a marvelous dream
Where all of the heavens or so it had seemed
With thunderous applause looked down from above
On a clown and an angel so much in love
I'll stay with my dream, it takes such a dream
And even a fool learns to love

Who'll ride in my rupert the riley

Lucy i know what you're going to going to do
Oh lucy look what you're doing i'm doing it too
Now you're looking for god in exciting new ways
I say trust him at once which is something these days

Lucy can't dance to the noise but she knows what the noise can do
Lucy can't dance to the noise but she knows what the noise can do

Did the world just explode?
Don't recognize anyone
But you've still got me under your thumb

Lucy can't dance to the noise but she knows what the noise can do
Oh oh oh
Lucy can't dance to the noise but she knows what the noise can do

There's tooling your frenzy in the tole savoy
And the sexual noise which is caught up a toy
You live and you die in the blink of an eye
Well i can't make you dance
Lucy can't dance
Dance to the noise

Lucy can't dance but she knows what the noise can do
Lucy can't dance
Dance to the noise
Lucy can't dance but she knows what the noise can
Lucy can't dance but she knows what the noise can
Lucy can't dance but she knows what the noise can do

Lucy can't dance

Lucy can't dance

Lucy i know what you're going to going to do
But you can't buy me off in the stirial (?) world
Who who who died and made you material girl?

Lucy can't dance to the noise but she knows what the noise can do

So i'll spin while my lunatic lyric goes wrong
Guess i'll put all my eggs in a postmodern song

Lucy can't dance to the noise but she knows what the noise can do

Of the show of the fine reality
Just a few simple words like i love you, i need you
Live and to die in the blink of an eye
Still i can't make you dance
Lucy can't dance
Dance to the noise

Lucy can't dance but she knows what the noise can do
Lucy can't dance
Dance to the noise

Lucy can't dance but she knows what the noise can
Lucy can't dance but she knows what the noise can
Lucy can't dance but she knows what the noise can
Lucy can't dance but she knows what the noise can do
Can do
Lucy i know what you're going to going to do
Lucy i know what you're going to going to do
Lucy can't dance
Lucy can't dance
Lucy i know what you're going to going to do
