B-Sides: Seasides & Freerides

Got a good reason for taking the easy way out
Got a good reason for taking the easy way out - now

She was a day tripper
One way ticket, yeah
It took me so long to find out, and I found out

She

Your dream make-up is cracked and wearing thin
Your eyes are on your chin
It's getting hard for you
But to make up is only make-believe
And we don't need a scene like this

Whatever happened to the Beautiful Losers
Whatever happened to the Beautiful Losers

Your eyes closed and dreamed of places that you and I would go
It's getting hard for me to love you, like I used to
I don't believe "hello"
Do you?

Whatever happened to the Beautiful Losers
Whatever happened to the Beautiful Losers

You told so many lies
Your tongue is black with fireflies
But you spit them out and pretend you're sneezing
And every word is such a joke
With so many pasts you'd be ninety years old
Don't you wonder why the room keeps on leaving

Hey, hey - what's that I heard you say
Don't think that I would never need it
Hey, hey - what's that I heard you say
Don't think that I would ever believe it

It's just a thought and nothing more
That all your thoughts and moves are taught
And memorised each night before your sleeping
And every word is such a joke
Strung from neon masts flying flags you hope
Will win you friends and give your life some meaning

(Repeat chorus)

You told so many lies
Your tongue is stained with alibis
You've been around the world and found it pleasing
And every word is such a joke
With so many pasts you'd be a hundred years old
Don't you wonder why the room keeps on leaving

(Repeat chorus)

I went down to Chelsea Walk
Where the sun doesn't shine at all
And I went looking for something for me
But I came back with nothing at all
Except an old man who could not see
But he said that he knew God
Chelsea Walk
Oh... Chelsea Walk
Oh... Chelsea Walk

Now I've been down to Chelsea Walk
Where the sun just refuses to shine
And I ran back to my little room
And I jumped straight into a bottle of wine
You know I'll be alright for just a day
But tomorrow I must wake
Chelsea Walk
Oh... Chelsea Walk
Oh... Chelsea Walk

Old man I must be on my way
Don't you worry I'm just scared for those who pray
In Chelsea Walk
Oh... Chelsea Walk
Oh... Chelsea Walk

Chelsea Walk...

Charlie Brown says
No-one promised this when I was a kid
When my days were filled with carousels
Fairground rides and cockleshells
Kicking pebbles on a beach
When time couldn't reach me
And tears were just a memory left to be learned

Now days catch me without an overcoat
Five o'clock shoes full of snow
All rained out, nowhere to go

Memories are sure to find you
No matter how fast you run
Gonna catch up with you

Charlie Brown says
Oh this winter sure sure gets me down
When there ain't no friends around

I feel a love that's so hard to bear
Won't you come kiss me and take this despair
Let the morning time dapple its light in your hair
Like warm running water in snow

But I fear a love of jealousy and pain
Lost in the race 'tween the foolish and vain
Come the morning time whistle and take you away
Where the sun always burns in the Winter

Oh... Here in my heart
Oh... Here in my heart

And I know that all I'm saying is wrong
Etched in the night-time and rhymed in a song
Come tomorrow I'll lighten up and drink to the ones
Who love without asking for loving

Don't forsake me, the morning time plays at the children's door
If you leave me then what would I tell them you're leaving for

(Repeat first verse)

I never saw it as the start
It's more a change of heart
Rapping on the windows, whistling down the chimney pots
Blowing off the dust in the room where I forgot
Yeah I laid my plans in solid rock
Stepping through the door like a troubadour whiling just an hour away
Looking at the trees on the roadside feeling it's a brighter day

You and I should ride the coast
And wind up in our favourite coats just miles away
Roll a number, write another song like
Jimmy heard the day he caught the train

He sipped another rum and coke and told a dirty joke
Walking like Groucho sucking on a number 10
Rolling on the floor with the cigarette burns walked in
Yeah I miss the crush and I'm home again
Stepping through the door with the night in store whiling just an hour away,
Looking at the trees and the star-bright feeling it's a brighter day

(Repeat Chorus)

You and I should ride the tracks
And find ourselves just wading through tomorrow
But you and I when we're coming down
We're only getting back
You know I feel the sorrow

When you find that things are getting wild
Don't you want days like these...
Don't you need days like these...

And the clock struck fifteen hours ago; it is shining
And the man who is wasting on the wall
Looks a lot like Jesus
And a little bit resembling
The man in the mirror in the hall

And I rose-trayed sailors
And you still shining
And I'm still waiting not to go
And I lied for sailors
And I lied for certain
And I lied to everyone I know

I believe in God and I believe in loving
But I don't speak to anyone who knows
And I need four 50's and three yellow lemons
And someone to take me home

And I'd forgotten the one who is sailing
On the water beside where you don't go
And it's strange to tell that the one who is shining
Is someone I forgot I used to know

And the clock struck fifteen hours ago
