Keep Moving

Scouring through the wasteland
With an uge to take
Anything that comes into view
Only ten more puffs to tea time
I've found eating so time consuming

Willie, oh willie she cried
It's time for tea
Willie, where in hell has he gone
It's time for tea

South of the wateland at your d.i.y.
The inconsiderate rings his till
Offering plans of easy credit
Claims he'll cause a killing in the school half term

Willie, oh willie she cried
It's time for tea
Willie, where in hell has he gone
It's time for tea

And welly well well well what have i found here
A hiding place made by frigid air
I think i'll try it on and give my mates a scare
They'll all be searching neither here nor there

Willie, oh willie she cried
It's time for tea
Willie, where in hell has he gone
It's time for tea

Long depress of autumn breeze
Sucking on a rubber back teeth
Plays into the hands of the hardware man
Who selfishly "i don't care"

I've saved a little bit of money from christmas gone,
What with my birthday nearly due,
I'm dressing up as guy in the shopping arcade,
Have you a penny for a boy named blue ?

I've seen it advertised on tv shows,
Flashed up on the evening news,
My local m.p. said i should grin and bear it,
But i'd rather go and blow her fuse,

Right on, right off!
Right off, right on.
Right on, right off!
Right off, right on.

Let me tell you a little tale of naughty's,
On the estate i used to loathe,
I aimed 30 rockets at a shilling each,
You should have seen their front door's go,

Right on, right off!
Right off, right on.
Right on, right off!
Right off, right on.
Let it talk cb

Fireball xl sitting in the window,
Just waiting for a match to come,
You're looking so so sad in your pretty coloured frock,
Don't let that make up on your eye balls run.

I got my little lot of money from a cherished friend,
His name was piggy but he wasn't to know,
He hit my god-damn hammer like a wall of bricks,
You should have seen his pig tail go,

Right on, right off!
Right off, right on.
Right on, right off!
Right off, right on.

Fireball xl propped up at my window,
Wondering what on earth it's to do!
Now that it's gone from the window of the shopping arcade,
Everybody's looking for a boy named blue.

Blue who
Blue who
Blue who
Blue who

Quack, quack, quack, quack.
Oink, oink, oink, oink.
Woof, woof, woof, woof.
Bridit, bridit, bridit, bridit.
Albert, albert.
Don't call us we'll call you.

A train ride to tuesday
A platform far away
Scarlet shades of evening move clouds of grey
Awaking, arriving
The dirty station where
He passes crowds of people who don't see him there

Here's a desert island room
For a man who's cast away
Stranded in this home from home
>from his family
Far away

Home.
Well this is it
This is it
Is this my heart
I miss you with all my heart
This is not
Is this not
My home

One shoe-lace cardboard suitcase
One passport from the queen
One room for a light bulb
Where no-one's been
Sticks and stones, my old bones
Not like nineteen fifty-four
Then the liked me fine
But not anymore

This empty room
Where he's marooned
With nothing left to say
But in the dark
He thinks of home far away

Home.
Well this is it
This is it
Is this my heart
I miss you with all my heart
This is not
Is this not
My home

I feel cold, getting old
More than the climate's changed
Stranded on this island
The rate of exchange

Here's a desert island room
For a man who's cast-away
Today he will not be at work
There is no work anyway

How is it when you feel it
Do you wonder what gets you down
You're looking in the windows
When you walk this town

With the ease of a practised smile
The tears of a crocodile
Well shake then wash your hands
Of the smell of foreign land
The propaganda woman said
It might be worse you could be dead
Now we've an impressive show
Let's wind it up and watch it go

Still a strange thing to me
Is there's no place i'd rather be
Rollercoasting backwards to
Up and down and turning blue

No pie in the sky
For the small man gets smaller
But a poke in the eye
From an unwelcome caller

Still a strange thing to me
Is there's no place i'd rather be
Rollercoasting backwards to
Up and down and turning blue

Policeman's eyes on overload
A fractured island might explode
A million pieces washed ashore
From disneyland to warsaw

Let's have a rehearsal run
An underground holiday in the sun
Take time to sit and reflect
A white wall where the sun collects

Still a strange thing to me
Is there's no place i'd rather be
Rollercoasting backwards to
Up and down and turning blue

You're looking and listening and hoping
That things are changing for the better
You're trying to see if what you're teaching is the truth sir
You're looking and listening and hoping
That things will change for better
Don't want to preach or teach the blues to you now brother

I just left victoria gardens
And walked through cardboard city land
A burnt out star was asking
How would i like to shake his hand

I walked on in no hurry (hurry hurry hurry)
And wondered where did we go wrong?

We're looking and listening and hoping
That things are changing for the better
Don't want to preach or teach the blues to you now brother

I walked on in no hurry (hurry hurry hurry)
And wondered where did we go wrong?

Looking listening hoping that things are changing for the better
(only time can tell)

It's a bloody fine situation
That we find ourselves in
He said something i couldn't mention (here)
And we laughed with him again

I walked on in no hurry (hurry hurry hurry)
And wondered where did we go wrong?

Looking listening hoping that things are changing for the better
And trying to see if what you're teaching is the truth sir

She said it's for the good of us all
(of us all, of us all, of us all)

Looking listening hoping that things are changing for the better
Don't want to preach or teach the blues to you now brother

I'm not so sure
(sure, sure, sure)

And now it is early evening
I look across grey leicester square
A large and silent crowd were walking
Said they had every right to be there

we'll get ya ya ya
We'll get ya ya ya

(i am michael caine)

La la la la la la la la

He's walking where i'm afraid i don't know
I see the firemen jumping from the windows
There's panic and i hear somebody scream

He picks up useless paper and puts it in my pocket
I'm trying very hard to keep my fingers clean
I can't remember tell me what's his name

(my name is michael caine)

And all i wanted was a word or photograph to keep at home
And all i wanted was a word or photograph to keep

The sun is laughing it's another broken morning
I see a shadow and call out to try and warn him
He didn't seem to hear just turned away
The quiet fellow follows
And points his finger straight at you
He had to sacrifice his pride, yes
And throw it all away

(i am micheal caine)

And all i wanted was a word or photograph to keep at home
And all i wanted was a word or photograph to keep

His days are numbered he walks round and round in circles
There is no place he can ever call his own
He seems to jump at the sound of the phone

Staring out the window there's nothing he can now do
All he wanted was to remain sane
He can't remer hisemb own name

(my name is michael caine)

And all i wanted was a word or photograph to keep at home
And all i wanted was a word or photograph to keep
All i wanted was a word or photograph
All i wanted was a word or photograph to keep

reaching up to press my best friend's bell
On my tiptoes
Whatever made me climb this side of hell
Oh, god only knows

Lifting up another catch and slipping through the blind
It's... it's so easy
Lighting up another match to see what i can find
It's... become so easy

But after a while
You can hear yourself breathe
What seems a long long while
You can feel yourself sealed

Ones second thoughtlessness
Nobody's home
One's second thoughtlessness
One's second thoughtlessness
Here up on my own
One's second thoughtlessness

Sniffing around
Hope to get out
Smelling a scent
That something is up
I've seen this song before
Is this the house my family lives - yes
Ah, i've been here before

Yes, i did it because, because
Yes, i did it because
Yes, i did it because, because
Yes, yes, i did it because, because
No - because

One's second thoughtlessness
I am my own
One's second thoughtlessness
One's second thoughtlessness
I stand alone
One's second thoughtlessness

The latest and greatest
Amazing arrival
No conscience no shame
For the game of survival
Theives and villians
And fraudulent swindlers
Gathered in tribute
With masks of respect

A big hand hooray
Oh come all ye trustful
Let the band play
A waltz into mischief

The chairman is speaking
Instructs the apprentice
All faces are turned
To the wizard of sentence
Years of experience
Fall from his tongue
Like teardops to puddles
They ripple among

A big hand hooray
Oh come all ye trustful
Let the band play
A waltz into mischief

This king of the cowboys
Holds fast his deception
Rides their misgivings
To rapturous reception
Calls on the crowd
Of white pointed heads
To check under carpets
(while we're in our beds?)

A big hand hooray
Oh come all ye trustful
Let the band play
A waltz into mischief

A big hand hooray
Oh come all ye trustful
Let the band play
A waltz into mischief

A big hand hooray
Oh come all ye trustful
Let the band play
A waltz into mischief

It's raining again,
I'm hearing its pitter patter down.
It's wet in the street
Reflecting the lights and splashing feet,
Nowhere to go,
And nothing i have to do, have to do.

It's raining again,
I follow the christmas lights down town.
I'm leaving the flow
Of people walking all around,
Round and round,

I hear the sound of rain falling in my ears
Washing away the weariness like tears.
I can feel my troubles running down,
Disappear into the silent sound.

Just walking along,
My clothes are soaked right through to the skin,
I haven't a doubt, that this is what life is all about,
The sun and the rain.
Scraps of paper(???) washing down the drain.

I feel the rain falling on my face
I can say there is no better place
Than standing up in the falling down
In so much rain i could almost drown.

It's raining again
A crack in the clouds reveals blue skies
I've been feeling so low(low)
But now everything is on my side
The sun and the rain.
Walk with me fill my heart again

I hear the rain falling in my ears
Washing away the weariness like tears.
I can feel my troubles running down,
Disappear into the silent sound.

I feel the rain falling on my face
I can say there is no better place
Than standing up in the falling down
In so much rain i could almost drown.

Do de do do de do do do
Do de do de do de do do do
