unknown

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

It's only forever
Not long at all
Lost and lonely

No one can blame you
For walking away
Too much rejection na na
No love injection na na
Life can be easy
It's not always swell
Don't tell me truth hurts, little girl
'cause it hurts like hell

But down in the underground
You'll find someone true
Down in the underground
A land serene
A crystal moon, ah ,ah

It's only forever
It's not long at all
Lost and lonely
That's underground
Underground

Shine shine shine
Shine shine shine

Shine shine shine
Shine shine shine

Shine shine shine
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

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

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

The words i have to say
May well be simple but they're true
Until you give your love
There's nothing more that we can do

Love is the opening door
Love is what we came here for
No-one can offer you more
You know what i mean
Have your eyes really seen?

You say you find it hard
To lead the life that we once knew
But there's no other way
So now it's really up to you

Love is the key we must turn
Truth is the flame we must learn
Freedom the lesson we must learn
Do you know what i mean?
Have your eyes really seen?

Love is the key we must turn
Truth is the flame we must burn
Freedom the lesson we must learn
Do you know what i mean?
Have your eyes really seen?

You say you find it hard
To lead the life that we once knew
But there's no other way
So now it's really up to you

Love is the key we must turn
Truth is the flame we must learn
Freedom the lesson we must learn
Do you know what i mean?
Have your eyes really seen?

Love is the key we must turn
Truth is the flame we must burn
Freedom the lesson we must learn
Do you know what i mean?
Have your eyes really seen?

Someday they won't let you, now you must agree
The times they are a-telling, and the changing isn't free
You've read it in the tea leaves, the tracks are on tv
Beware the savage jaw
Of 1984

They'll break your pretty cranium, and fill it full of air
And tell that you're eighty, but lover you won't care
You'll be shooting up this huge world, like tomorrow's wasn't there
Beware the savage jaw
Of 1984

(come see, come see, remember me?)
We played out an all night movie role
You said it would last, but i guess we've grown
In 1984 (who could ask for more)
1984 (who could ask for more)

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

She doesn't recall her blessed childhood out of yore
When a unit was a figure not a she
When lovers chose each other seems the perk's are due
Another memo to screw

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

Can you wipe your nose my child without them slotting in your file a photograph
Will you sleep in fear tonight wake to find the scorching light of neighbour jim
Come to, turn you in

But the do do, no no, didn't hear it from me
Another do do, no no, didn't hear it from me
Another do do, no no, didn't hear it from me
Another do do, no no, didn't hear from me

Come see, come see, remember me?
We played out an all night movie role
You said it would last, but i guess we enrolled
In 1984 (who could ask for more)
1984 (who could ask for mor-or-or-or-ore)
(mor-or-or-or-ore)

1984
1984
1984 (mor-or-or-or-ore)
1984
1984 (mor-or-or-or-ore)
1984
1984 (mor-or-or-or-ore)

Just the twinkling lights of heaven
Two reflections on the sparkling water
Hand in hand with love uh-huh

I love the cheap things that you say

You belong in rock n'roll
You belong in rock n'roll
You belong in rock n'roll

Well so do i
I love how she moves me
It makes me feel alright alright alright alright

I'm a hurt i'm a hurt i'm hurting
I'm a man with a beat in my pocket
I'm going down to the rhytm of love
I love the bad luck that you bring

You belong in rock n'roll
You belong in rock n'roll
You belong in rock n'roll

Well so do i
Alone on the mean streets
It makes me feel on fire on fire on fire on fire on fire . . . on fire on fire on fire on fire

Well so do i

It makes me feel alright alright alright alright . . .

Huu huuuu
Huu huuuu
Huu huuuu
Huu huuuu
Huu huuuu

The last days were the meanest
Leanest days of our lives
You threw me the pieces
I started the fire
One thing led to a dead end
One shot put her away hey-hey

Look out on a green world
Windows and wives
No bedroom to run to
No miracle jive - no conversation

Then nothing meant nothing
Ten dollars tore us apart
On thing led to a dead end
One shot put her away

One thing nothing meant nothing
Ten dollars tore us apart
On thing led to a dead end
One shot put her away

The last days were the meanest
Leanest days of our lives
One thing led to a dead end
One shot put her away

Look out on a dream world
Windows and wifes
No bedroom to run too
No woman that i
No conversation

Hot love is the dearest
No money can buy
She burnt like a spitfire
One shot put her away

One shot put her away hey hey

One shot put her away

Ah ha ha

Ah ha ha ha

Ah ha ha

Ah ha ha ha

Ah ha ha

Ah ha haaaa

Ah ha ha

Ah ha ha ha

Ah ha ha

Ah ha ha ha

Ah ha ha

One shot put her away

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

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
Still i keep my love for you
Don't let me down and down and down
I'm sick and tired of telling you
Don't let me down
Don't don't let me down
Don't let me down
Nowhere to hide
No place to go
Still i keep my love for you
Still i keep my love for you
Oh there's no place to hide
No where to go

Listen lady, let me lie low, lie low with you
To be lie-high-high-high-high-high, my! oh my!
Slowly, we get too good and too holy
Helping one another, just a righteous brother
Night time, get me back in the night time
I don't want to be angel, just a little bit evil
I feel the devil in me

Holy, holy
Hold on to anyone, hold on to anyone
But just let me be
Holy, holy
Hold on to anyone, hold on to anyone
Let go of me

Listen lady, let me lie low, lie low with you
To be a lie-high-high-high-high-high, my! oh my!

Holy, holy
Hold on to anyone, hold on to anyone
But just let me be
Holy, holy
Hold on to anyone, hold on to anyone
Let go of me

Come on strong girl, lay the heavy trick on me
The church of man, love, is such a holy place to be
Make me baby, make me know you really care
Make me jump into the air

Keep your 'lectric eye on me babe
Put your ray gun to my head
Press your space face close to mine, love
Freak out in a moonage daydream oh yeah!

Alright ah
Come on you ?
Far out

Keep your mouth shut, but listen to the world inside
Keep your head on, but open up your eyes real wide
Keep the change strong, let the things you torn aside
You messing any road to high

Keep your 'lectric eye on me babe
Put your ray gun to my head
Press your space face close to mine, love
Freak out in a moonage daydream oh yeah!

Keep your 'lectric eye on me babe
Put your ray gun to my head
Press your space face close to mine, love
Freak out in a moonage daydream oh yeah!

Take it out take it out
Oh
Oh
Ready

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

Moi, je souhaiterais que tu nages
Comme les dophins, les dophins savent nager
Bien que rien nous gardera ensemble
Nous les vaincrons, les vaicrons

My love wherever you are
Whatever you are, don't lose faith
I know it's gonna happen someday
To you
Please wait
Please wait
Wait, don't lose faith
You say that the day never arrives
And it's never seemed so far away
But i know it's gonna happen someday
To you
Please wait
Please wait
Wait, don't lose faith
Please wait
Please wait
Please, don't lose faith
Don't lose faith

You say that the day never arrives
And it seems so far away
But i know it's gonna happen someday
Someday to you
To you
Please wait
Please wait
Please wait

Over the wall we go
All coppers are nanas
Over the wall we go
Leave 'em a note saying 'wish you were here

I know 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 wishing 'happy new year'

My name is henry though some say i'm thick
I've spent half me life in and out of nick
Me 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'm just stupid with manicured hands

Over the wall we go
All coppers are nanas
Over the wall we go
Nobody's left and the screw are in tears

Spoken:
"double 3, 427 ?" "here, sir."
"double 3, 428 ?" "here, sir."
"double 3, 429? double 3, 429 - where is he?"
"he went out for a cup of tea at the local football match, sir."
"oh. well he might have invited me..."

Over the wall we go
All coppers are nanas
Over the wall we go
Nbody's slept and the screws are in tears

We tried digging tunnels but gave up the ghost just past the kensington yards at the most
Our limbs was aching, we felt pretty pooped
Our clothes they was tatty, our arrows did droop.
We crawled back to safety, our hearts filled with gloom
'cos we'd dug ourselves through to the smallest room

Over the wall we go
All coppers are nanas
Over the wall we go
Note wishing 'happy new year'

Spoken:
[sfx: knock knock knock]
"hello, who is it?"
"double 3, 429, guv"
"oh, hang on a minute...
[sfx: doors opening]
Hello sonny jim
Been wondering where you were
Did you have a nice christmas?"

There's a man back a-ways
Who believes at where he is
And there's a girl
Up ahead who says she knows

And the street overflows
With the folk who understand
But for the guy who can't be seen
He's the shadow man
And the shadow man is close at hand

Take a turn and see his smile
Made of nothing but loneliness
Just take a walk and be a friend
To the shadow man

You can call him joe, you can call him sam
You should call and see who answers
For he promises to come running, guided by the truth
But the shadow man is really you

Look in his eyes and see your reflection
Look to the stars and see his eyes
He'll show you tomorrow, he'll show you the sorrows
Of what you did today

You can call him foe, you can call him friend
You should call and see who answers
For he knows your eyes are drawn to the road ahead
And the shadow man is waiting round the bend
Oh, the shadow man
Ohooooo oooo
Shadow man, shadow man
It's really you, it's really you, it's really you
He's the shadow man
Oh yeah
Shadow man

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

Penso che un sogno cos

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

Sailors in snow
Send a callout raising hands
Some are bound to fail
Some are winter sun, ah

Sailors in snow
Send a callout rasing hands
Some are bound to fail
Some are winter sun, ah

Don't be afraid to reveal what you know
Don't be afraid to conceal what you show
Oh darling
Don't be afraid
Oh darling
I said, don't be afraid to ray what you need
Don't be afraid
What you feel about me
Oh oh oh darling

Count me lucky i don't follow you
Don't be afraid of me feeling so blue
Oh darling
Lucky forever
Oh darling
I said, don't be afraid to ray what you need
Don't be afraid
What you feel about me
Oh oh oh darling

Don't be afraid to reveal what you know
Don't be afraid to conceal what you show
Oh darling
Don't be afraid
Oh darling
I said, don't be afraid to ray what you need
Don't be afraid
What you feel about me
Oh oh oh darling

Come they told me pa-ram-pam-pam-pam
A new-born king to see pa-ram-pam-pam-pam
Our finest gifts we bring pa-ram-pam-pam-pam
Ra-pam-pam-pam, ra-pam-pam-pam

Peace on earth, can it be
Years from now, perhaps we'll see
See the day of glory
See the day, when men of good will
Live in peace, live in peace again

Peace on earth, can it be
Every child must be made aware
Every child must be made to care
Care enough for his fellow man
To give all the love that he can

I pray my wish will come true
For my child and your child too
He'll see the day of glory
See the day when men of good will
Live in peace, live in peace again

Peace on earth, can it be
Can it be

Bing: it's a pretty theme, isn't it?

Tin machine
Tin machine

Take me anywhere
Somewhere without alcohol
Or goons with muddy hair

Tin machine
Tin machine

Tin machine
Tin machine

The zombies that i pass
The guy that beats his baby up
The preachers and their past

Tin machine
Tin machine

Tin machine

Baby doll
Baby doll

Clarity and prayer
There's more than money moving here
There's mindless maggot glare
Working horrors-humping tories
Spittle on their chins
Carving up my children's future
Read 'em pal and grin

Raging raging raging
Burning in my room
C'mon and get a good idea
C'mon and get it soon
I'm waiting on the fire escape
I'm not exactly well
I'm neither red nor black nor white
I'm grey and blown to hell

Tin machine
Tin machine

Make some new computer thing
That puts me on the moon
Not this psycho-time-bomb planet
Poised to meet it's maker
Shake a leg

Tin machine
Tin machine

One sick deathless duty to remain endangered species
They reach right out to touch someone
Then wash their crusty hands

Tin machine
Tin machine

Baby doll
Baby doll

Blue suede tuneless wonders
Mass confusion-faithless blues
Night that spews out watchmen
Mopping up another fortune
Fractured words and branca-sonic
Anger trapped behind locked doors
And right between the eyes

Raging raging raging
Burning in my room
C'mon and get a good idea
C'mon and get it soon
I'm waiting on the fire escape
I'm not exactly well
I'm neither red nor black nor white
I'm grey and blown to hell

Tin machine

Tin machine

I'm lazy
You're crazy, girl
Stay by my side

I'm scared you'll
Meet someone
In whom you'll confide no no no

Life's still a dream
Your love's amazing
Since i found you
My life's amazing

I pledge you
Never be blue
There's too much at stake to be down

My nightmare
Rooted here watching you go
Divine in both, our lives

Life's still a dream
Your love's amazing amazing
Since i found you
My life's a roll
Go go go
And it's amazing

It's amazing
Go go go
It's amazing
Oh
Oh
Oh
Go go go
Oh
Oh
It's amazing

Hey hey is the tall sail
On a beam lit put your hand
Make way for to java
Watching for bogies
Hey hey it's a dreaming
I would burn you if you should die
Hey hey i would burn too
If you should lie upon that bamboo pyre

I dream of amlapura
Never saw in all my life a more shining jewel
I dream of amlapura
Of an ocean or dream of a princess in stone

Hey hey golden roses around
A rajah

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

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

Girls

Like spirits
They vanish at dawn
My heart
Suspended in time
Like you
Vanish like tears in the rain

Girls
They take their loves away
Like spirits
Living so far away

Girls
Pretending to break down and cry
Girls
Whispering wind
What are they giving away

We used to be so happy
Remember, remember
So happy
I never knew
How lonely
How lonely

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

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

Dear when i dance with you
We move like the sea
You, you're all i want to know
I feel free
I feel free

I can walk down the street
There's no one there
The pavement is one huge crowd
I can drive down the road
My eyes can't see
But my mind wants to cry out loud

I can walk down the street
There's no one there
The pavement is one huge crowd
I can drive down the road
My eyes can't see
But my mind wants to cry out loud
My mind wants to cry out loud

I feel free

Dance floor is like the sea
The ceiling is the sky
You're the sun, and as you shine on me
I feel free
I feel free
I feel free

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

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

Right on mother you've really blow my mind
I never thought we'd hit it off until today
Right on mother you know the way i feel
Now you know i'm living with my girl and it's real

I never thought you dig it so sure you hit the roof
And now you telling me you understand

That i'm a man
Ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba

Right on mother you know the way i feel
Now you know i'm living with my girl and it's real

Never thought you dig it so sure you hit the roof
And now you telling me you understand

That i'm a man
Ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba

Goodnight you born i'll see you in the morning
Me and morrow got a good thing on
Cos she thinks is grand

That i'm a man
Ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba

Right on mother you know the way i feel
Now you know i'm living with my girl and it's real

Ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba

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

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

Baby baby baby baby baby giving in
Baby can't baby talk baby well baby thinking baby walk baby lost baby found
Baby beauty baby can't baby talking baby girl baby thinking baby well baby lost baby found baby giving in baby can

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:
"double 3, 421" "here"
"double 3, 422" "gruesome"
"double 3, 423" "i'm here"
"double 3, 424" "hello"
"double 3, 425" "hi"
"double 3, 426, double 3, 426, where is he?"
"here, keep it up the ledge another course and we're out"

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 gave all the tickbits and pieces of newt
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"

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

Over the wall we go

No one can blame you
For walking away
Too much rejection (na na)
No love injection (na na)
Life can be easy
It's not always swell
Don't tell me truth hurts, little girl
'cause it hurts like hell
But down in the underground
You'll find someone true
Down in the underground
A land serene
A crystal moon, ah, ah

It's only forever
Not long at all
Lost and lonely
That's underground
Underground

Baby, you can't fool around
Baby, can't turn me upside down
Someone's got to go and i won't, i won't
That's a promise

It's just a matter of time before you call him on the phone
Tell him please, please leave him alone
Please leave him alone
It's just a matter of time, call him on the phone
Tell him please, please leave him alone
Please leave him alone

Baby, you've got me used
Baby, can't you be like you?
Someone's got to go and i won't, i won't
That's a promise

(ad lib to end)

Threepenny pierrot - we love you
Threepenny pierrot - loves us too
Pockets of gladness, gay time eyes
Comical hero, threepenny pierrot

Happy little feet that dance all day
Lonely little heart with lots to say
Stepping footprints on your mind
Offering thoughts of columbine

Bang the drum and blow the bugle call
Pierrot takes the stage to play for all
For here's a life his fortune rules
Forsaken by his columbine

Threepenny pierrot - we love you
Threepenny pierrot - loves us too
Pockets of gladness, gay time eyes
Comical hero, threepenny pierrot

To tap his feet to greet dear harlequin
The hearts of folks so keenly hard to win
A patchwork frame of tears and wine
The nectar for cruel columbine

The part of three and leaves the stage forlorn
Puppets cold, their faces sad and drawn
Relive each trial of rise and fall
The love which lacks between us all

Threepenny pierrot - we love you
Threepenny pierrot - loves us too
Pockets of gladness, gay time eyes
Comical hero, threepenny pierrot

Threepenny pierrot - we love you
Threepenny pierrot - loves us too
Pockets of gladness, gay time eyes
Comical hero . . . . . . threepenny pierrot

Columbine my frail design
I see you see me standing on my own
Is it you that i'm walking through
Should i retrace my point of view
I'm left in clouded dreams of finding who
Not columbine
Just incase you're my disguise
I found yourself to my surprise
I'm on the ground
And it's harlequin who fix me up
Who catches you
Who wanishes me
From finding who
You are

Well, annie's pretty neat, she always eats her meat
Joe is awful strong, bet your life he's putting us on
Oh lordy, oh lordy, you know i need some loving
Oh move me, touch me

John, i'm only dancing
She turns me on, but i'm only dancing
She turns me on, don't get me wrong
I'm only dancing

Oh shadow love was quick and clean, life's a well-thumbed machine
I saw you watching from the stairs, you're everyone that ever cared
Oh lordy, oh lordy, you know i need some loving
Move me, touch me

John, i'm only dancing
She turns me on, but i'm only dancing
She turns me on, but don't get me wrong
I'm only dancing

John, i'm only dancing
She turns me on, but i'm only dancing
She turns me on, but don't get me wrong
I'm only dancing

Dancing
Won't someone dance with me?
Touch me, ohhh!

Ain't got room for charity
Skeletons man
Me, i'm crawling with no cash
Chop it up
Me, i'm looking for hot flesh
Chop it up

This skeleton's mine
Chop it up

Blood on video-video crime
Video crime
Needles and pins and video crime
Video crime
I've got dollars-i've got sense
Wonder where the third world went

Aint got time for honeymoon
Chop it up
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
Chop it up
Me, i'm crawling with no cash
Chop it up
Blood on video-video crime

Needles and pins and video crime

Wonder where the third world went

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

I don't want to lose the good thing that i've got
If i do, i will surely, i will lose a lot

For your love is better than any love other i've know
It's like thunder, lightning
The way you love me is frightening
I better knock on wood
Baby

I got superstitious about you, but i can't take change
You got me spinning, baby, spinning in a trance
But your love is better than any other love i've known
It's like thunder, lightning
The way you love me is frightening
You better knock on wood

It's no secret, but that woman fills my lovin' cup
She sees, so ready, that i get enough
And her love is better than any other love i've known
It's like thunder
It's like lightning
The way you love me is frightening
I better knock on wood
Baby

Better, yes, better

Have you felt like dixon
And ray, and ali

I'm waiting for my man
Twenty-six dollars in my hand
Up to lexington 1-2-5
So sick and dirty more dead than alive
I'm waiting for my man

Hey white boy, what you doin' uptown
Hey white boy, you chasin' our women around
Oh pardon me sir, it furtherest from my mind
I'm just looking for a dear dear friend of mine.
I'm waiting for my man

Here he comes, he's all dressed in black
New York shoes and a big straw hat
He's never early, he's always late
First thing you learn is that you always gotta wait
I'm waiting for my man

Dirty brownstone, up three flights of stairs
Nobody's tried to pinn you but nobody cares
He's got the works gives you sweet taste
Then you gotta split because he's got no time to waste
I'm waiting for my man

Baby don't you holler, honey don't you ball and shout
I'm feeling good, i know i'm gonna work it on out
I'm feeling good, i'm feel oh so fine
Until tomorrow but that's just another time
I'm waiting for my man.

To welcomeing home

Nothing on smoke today
Nothing dies on the wing
Wing's been losing time
An anarchy born in pain
Pain that comes and goes
It goes against all you see
You see i got gables eyes
And eisenhower blames the poor
The poor huddled on the curb
Gotta get back in shape

We're backing up a major plan
We're treading on ???? lights
We're walking under golden sun
We're living in a planet of dreams
We're living in a planet of dreams
We're living in a planet of dreams
We're living in a planet of dreams
We're living in a planet of dreams
We're living in a planet

Hey jack you'd better shake it up
Put it out of my head
Thinking of all just another young girl last night
Oh brother i loved a women
And that morning bed been on that trip so many times
Good god was it really yestrday?

I tried so many many many many many, many ways
I've lied and taken often to the day
Leaving another girl to, weap over the breakfast tray
Loved her before i knew her name
Hit me jack cause i'm gonna love her way

Come back my baby
Be holy again
And give her
Oh maybe maybe
Gotta give her
Oh baby baby
That kind of love can only destroy
I gave her
Oh maybe maybe
? doubt if i'm gonna be her baby
Gonna be me

It was no rain to check me
When all those ? little things walked on by
Oh but i couldn't feel it ? worth
And when that angel was stuck in my mind
Oo oo oo oo
Looking for love wont hold me back
I'm gonna love her way

Come back my baby
Be holy, again

Got to give her
Oh baby baby
That kind of love can only destroy

Oh maybe maybe
Gotta get it now, if i'm gonna be her baby
Gonna be, yeah

Let's play, not play this record
Waitin' for the telephone to ring
Wiped-out and bitter, with a bag clutched in her hand
All the cars sound like they're
Pulling in the drive
Umm, no, no, no, no, no, uhh
I see her now
A little tear running down her check
Laugh! let down
People looking for me
I want to race down her street and knock hard, hard, hard on the door 'til
Until she breaks down into my arms like a tracy tie, and i feel the pain
I'll be so strong again and again

Come back my brain, yeah
I'm holy again i'll take ya, oh, babe, baby, baby
We're gonna have, oh, baby, baby, my kind of love can only bring you joy
I'm gonna, oh, baby yeah, got far
Give you, baby, baby 'cause it's gonna be me
Umm, hmm, hmm

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

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

Baby i dream between the blade and the tongue
Of the rose on your cheek the wounded and dumb
We stumble and fall we stumble and fall
Skin on skin but there's heaven in

Heaven's in here
Heaven's in her
Among the twilight and star
Like a rocket to mars
Heaven in here

The first and the last are telling it all
Telling you loud but selling it small
I'm taking a swing at this shadow of mine
Crucifix hangs an' my heart's in my mouth
But it's here

Heaven's in here
Heaven's in her
Among the twilight and stars
Like a rocket to mars
Heaven's in here

Feeling it wanting
Mm mm m
Heaven in

Heaven lies between your marbled thighs
The rustle of your falling gown
We stumble and fall like tragedy falls
We stumble and twirl there's heaven in here
We stumble and fall uncertain we fall
There's flesh on flesh but there's heaven in
Heaven's in here

Heaven's in here
Heaven's in here
Among the twilight and stars
Like a rocket to mars
Heaven's in here

You'll dance to my tongue
We'll dance on the sun
We're the twilight and stars
And there's heaven in here

Heaven
