Deface The Music

Smiles, all smiles
Like the sweet light of the sunrise
I'm in love with something in your smile
All smiles, waiting for the love you give me
When you do i just can't help but smile

You never have to shed a tear
Just remember that i'll always care
And when i am old, i'll see you smiling there

When i'm sad you're the only one who cheers me
Let me see that heaven in your smile

We've been invited to a cocktail party
Over by the palace wall
I've not been dressed up since my graduation
Haven't been around at all
Look what happens when you reach the top
The whole world is your oyster
You walk 'round like a bleeding fop

Meet me outside the curiosity shop
No need to bring money
Life can be so funny
When you're hangin' around with the hoi polloi

The countess wipes her nose upon her sleeve
Doesn't think that we can see
The duke of astinbury has to leave
He's afraid to dance with me
Look what happens when you've got it made
Everyone respects us
No more mingling with the local trade

As the hostess checks the sky for rain
Her fifteen year old daughter
Drives the patriarchal letch insane

We'll be hangin' around with the hoi polloi

Hello honey, i just missed the train
My watch must have stopped i guess
Dinner is cold and the kids are asleep
I didn't mean to get you out of bed.

Always late (always late)
Yes, it's always the same
Procrastination is my middle name
But the rest of the world is ahead of the game
And that's why i'm always late.

Won't somebody give me a ride
I've been out of gas for hours
My mother-in-law's flying in from the coast
She's probably in an ambulance by now.

Willie, it's time to get up
Willie, you get out of that bed,
You'll be late for work again
Willie, willie!!!

Come on honey, give me a chance
I promise to mend my ways
Let's go out for an anniversary dance
You say our anniversary's yesterday?

Life goes on, the world keeps turning and life goes on
Life goes on, the world keeps turning and life goes on

He was a company man
He put his faith in the union and his take-home pay
A good republican man
But they closed down the factory his retirement day

Life goes on whether or not there's a reason
Life goes on, enter another season

She was the pride of her dad
But she harbored a secret in her bureau drawer
And when the news was too bad
She would get into trouble with the boy next door

In the dead of the night
They escape to their fantasy without a sound
Her father still burns a light
But they never returned and they were never found

Well, i've heard it, i've heard it all
I've heard it all before
I don't need no gypsy
I don't need no crystal ball
Since you started messin' round on me darlin'
Now the phone's ringing off the wall
And everybody says it's so
I got a broken heart comin' and they want me to know
And i've heard it all
I don't need a crystal ball.

I got a lady across the hallway
I got another one way across town
All the people at your birthday party
You should hear the way they're puttin' me down?
It seems the whole world's out to spy
It's like the cia meets the fbi

And i've heard it all
I don't need a crystal ball
Well i've heard it all
I don't need a crystal ball
Well i've heard it all
It ain't no surprise to me

I don't watch no television
I don't read the daily news
I'm afraid if i listen to the radio
I'll hear about the latest things you do
I don't want no explanation
Nothin' you could say could be a revelation
And i've heard it all
I don't need a crystal ball.

Feel too good to go to work today
I need a little more time so i can stay this way
Let's go for a ride on the circle line
Couldn't you use a day in the sunshine
Mustn't let your bank payments get behind
The bills may pile up, i just brush them off my mind

I can't let debt collectors bother me
Because i feel too good
I feel so good that you just can't bring me down

I can't remember when i felt so high
My mind is on vacation and i don't know why
Wouldn't you like to go for a country drive
Doesn't it make you feel good to be alive
Luncheon by the roadside will do just fine
I left the water running
It just must have slipped my mind

Can't let the little things bother me
Because i feel too good
I feel so good that you just can't bring me down
Someone's bound to bring you down

There's a strange speaking man on the front lawn
Making rude noises and gestures
It's just the neighbor's got something on his mind
Feel too good
I can't let frenchie start to bother me
Because i feel too good
I feel so good that you just can't bring me down

Said the world to the sun, "i must turn away,
'cause my face is so ugly, i feel so ashamed"
Tell me where does the world go to hide?

All the people down here, they fight everywhere
They destroy and they poison
They don't even care
So where does the world go to hide?

Nobody cares what will happen to me
And nobody cares if i cry
There must be a reason to carry on
But the pain is so bad i could die

Said the sun to the people, "now who is to blame?"
But like scared little children they all ran away
But where can the world go to hide?

Tell me where can the world go to hide?
