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
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

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

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

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

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

When i'm five
I will wash my face me hands all by myself
When i'm five
I will chew and spit tabacco like my grandfather jones
'cause i'm only four and five is far away

When i'm five
I will read the magazines in mummy's drawer
When i'm five
I will walk behind the soldiers in the may day parade
'cause i'm only four and grown-ups walk too fast

Yesterday was horrid day, 'cause raymond kicked my shin
And mummy says if i am good, she'll let me go to school in august
Daddy shouted loud at mummy and i dropped my toast at breakfast
And i laughed when bonzo licked my face, because it tickled
I wonder why my daddy cries and how i wish that i was nearly five

When i'm five
I will catch a butterfly and eat it and i won't be sick
When i'm five
I will jump in puddles, laugh in church and marry my mum
And i'll let my daddy do the washing-up

If i close one eye, the people on that side can't see me
I get headaches in the morning and i rode on freddie's tricycle
And everywhere was funny, when i ran down to the sweetshop
Then i fell and bleeded-up my knee and everybody soppied me

I saw a photograph of jesus and i asked him if he'd make me five
I saw a photograph of jesus and i asked him if he'd make me five
When i'm five
When i'm five
When i'm oah

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)

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

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

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
Day after

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

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

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

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

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?"

No more delight or croning around
Whisper the word hold my hand
Nowhere forget i shall refuse you
Never forget who you've been
And you will fight with demons
And we shall go to town
And we'll read betwen the riches
And we'll dream if we don't go down

Follow the paths stay on the wrong side
Only when you is swollen with tears
Don't bring your things just like you serve you
Only fool turns around
And you will fight with demons
And we shall go to town
And you will wear you're best shoes
And we'll dance if we don't go down
And we'll dance if we don't go down

London bye ta-ta

Gigi, gigi, gigi, gigi

Gigi, gigi, gigi, gigi

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

Oh-oh-oh
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

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.

In the port of amsterdam
There's a sailor who sings
Of the dreams that he brings
From the wide open sea
In the port of amsterdam
There's a sailor who sleeps
While the river bank weeps
To the old willow tree

In the port of amsterdam
There's a sailor who dies
Full of beer, full of cries
In a drunken town fight
In the port of amsterdam
There's a sailor who's born
On a hot muggy morn
By the dawn's early light

In the port of amsterdam
Where the sailors all meet
There's a sailor who eats
Only fish heads and tails
And he'll show you his teeth
That have rotted too soon
That can haul up the sails
That can swallow the moon

And he yells to the cook
With his arms open wide
"hey, bring me more fish
Throw it down by my side"
And he wants so to belch
But he's too full to try
So he stands up and laughs
And he zips up his fly

In the port of amsterdam
You can see sailors dance
Paunches bursting their pants
Grinding women to porch
They've forgotten the tune
That their whiskey voice croaked
Splitting the night
With the roar of their jokes
And they turn and they dance
And they laugh and they lust
Till the rancid sound of the accordion bursts
And then out of the night
With their pride in their pants
And the sluts that they tow
Underneath the street lamps

In the port of amsterdam
There's a sailor who drinks
And he drinks and he drinks
And he drinks once again
He'll drink to the health
Of the whores of amsterdam
Who've given their bodies
To a thousand other men
Yeah, they've bargained their virtue
Their goodness all gone
For a few dirty coins
Well he just can't go on
Throws his nose to the sky
And he aims it up above
And he pisses like i cry
On the unfaithful love

In the port of amsterdam
In the port of amsterdam

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

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
Oh oh oh

Under the god
Under the god
One step over the red line
Under the god
Under the god
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

Under the god
Under the god
Raging down
Raging down
Under the god
Under the god

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

Of an ocean or dream of a princess in stone

Hey hey golden roses around
A rajah

In new york city

Girls
They come and they go
They kiss
Come and they go
Like breeze
Brushing my cheek
Like pain
Like the tears on my face

Girls
They come and they go
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
How lonely i could feel

Girls
They come and they go
They kiss
They come and they go
Like spirits
Brushing my cheek
Like pain
Like the tears on my face

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
How lonely i could feel
Girls

Do you hear what i hear?
Do you see what i see?
Colin, i want you to use your imagination
You wake up one morning and you ask yourself

Why am i so exciting?
What makes me dramatic?
You're trying to say something about yourself
The dazzling crime of wisdom

You fall for reality
You're bruised and bewildered
Then you learn to fall in love with yourself
That's motivation

You raise yourself high
Presenting your soul
You step from the shadows
You hear the command
An image to dream
You tremble permission
Tomorrow's rewards bloody skies of today
You'll step out of time
Into life's every dream
A life of such powerful meaning

Now you has class
Now you has splash
Now you has mass motivation

Here's an image i can recommend
Here's a product you will die for
Here's a nightmare that will never end
Get you fired upp burning go oh oh

You know you got something
You know you got style
We don't take much just a little bit
That's motivation

Welcome to the world of your dreams, colin
Where you can be what you want
Commit horrible sins
And get away with it

Lust
Gluttony
Pride
Anger
Sloth
Avarice
And jealousy

You know you got something
You know you got the style
We don't take much, but a little bit
That's motivation

No more false illusion
Goodbye to confusion
Stand out from the madding crowd
Motivation is symphony

Symphony in style (that's motivation)
It's brilliant, original (that's motivation)
Stimulating, encouragement (that's motivation)
As precious from home (that's motivation)
So what (motivation)
Say what (motivation)
New (moti)
So (moti)

Now you has class motiv
Now you has mass motivation

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

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. . .

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 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

We've lost our good ole mama
And must have whiskey or you know 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

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

Once upon a time there was a toy soldier and he lived in the play room

Once upon a time there was a toy soldier with a whip lash in his hand
And every night little girl sadie would take all her clothes off and wind up the toy soldier and he raised his whip and said

On your knees little sadie
Little sadie on your knees
Taste the whip and love might given likely
Taste the whip and bleed for me

Little sadie loved her little toy soldier
And she run home from school each day

Little sadie loved her little toy soldier
And she locked her door so she could play

Little sadie got ambitious
And wound the clockworks so to tighter
So he could whip her harder and harder

On your knees little sadie
Little sadie on your knees
Taste the whip and love might given likely
Taste the whip and bleed for me

One day sadie wound and wound
And wound and wound
And wound and wound

Til suddenly the little toy soldier spring, went. . .

(ugly, beat her to death)

Ahhhh

Cough, cough, cough

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

Ah ah ah ah ah

Ah ah ah ah ah

Ah ah ah ah ah

Ah ah ah ah ah

Ah ah ah ah ah

Ah ah ah ah ah

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

Everybody's raised in blindness
Everbody know's it's true
Everybody feels that everything is real
Anbody's point of you
Nobody can make their bondage
Everyone can feel the change
But even in my night i knew you found your son
And nothing would be quite the same
Please help me

Nooo can i be, noo he found me

Putting on a face that's new

The road for human beings

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

Woo
Thaaa

Always in trouble
Never to blame
Must be a double
You are the same
Here it comes again

Doing the wrong thing
Forgetting your li..ines
Waiting for something better to shine
Take that same okay

After today, they will find you working
After today, you'll find the ones you're after

As such a sad love
Deep in your eyes, a kind of pale jewel
Open and closed within your eyes
I'll place the sky within your eyes

There's such a fooled heart
Beating so fast in search of new dreams
A love that will last within your heart
I'll place the moon within your heart

As the pain sweeps through
Makes no sense for you
Every thrill has gonst
Wasn't too much fun at all
But i'll be there for you-oo-oo
As the world falls down

Falling in love

Though we're strangers till now

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

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

Thought we had a good thing going, and you know and mama had a thing on
My baby got out last monday and me i'm on a radio show

So come on, come on, we've really got a good thing going
Come on, come on, if you think we're gonna make it
You better hang on to yourself

My father had a good thing going, and you know mother had a thing on the street
My baby got out last monday and me i'm on a radio show

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

Right on mother you've really blow my mind

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

And now you telling me you understand

That i'm a man
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

Instrumental

Bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah
Bah bah bah bah bah bah
Pressure pressing down on me
Under pressure
That burns a building down
Splits a family in two
Puts people on streets

Bah bah bah bah bah bah
Bah bah bah bah bah bah

That's o-kay!
It's the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming let me out
Pray tomorrow takes me higher
Pressure on people

Do do do bah bah bah bah
O-kay
Chippin around
Kick my brains around the floor
These are the days
It never rains it pours
People on streets
People on streets

It's the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming let me out
Pray tomorrow takes me higher
People people on streets
Turned away from it all
Like a blind man
Sat on fence but it don't work
Keep coming up with love
But it's so slashed and torn
Why why why?
Love love love love

Insanity laughs under pressure we're cracking
Can't we give ourselves one more chance?
Why can't we give love one more chance?
Why can't we give love give love give love?
Give love give love give love give love give love
Cause love's such an old fashioned word
And love dares you to care
For people on the edge of the night
And love dares you to change our way
Of caring about ourselves
This is our last dance
This is our last dance
This is ourselves under pressure
Under pressure pressure

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 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

Nothing to be desired
It leaves nothing to be desired
Nothing

There's nothing to be desired
Nothing to be desired
Nothing to be desired any more

Appearances

Nothing to be desired appeared on

Once she had drowned and started her slow descent
Down the streams to where the great rivers broaden
Oh, the open sky chant most magnificent
As if it was acting as her body's guardian
Wreck and duck weed slowly increased her weight
By clasping her in their slimy grip
Through her limbs, the cold blooded fishes played
Creatures and plant life kept on, thus obstructing her last trip

And the sky that same evening grew dark as smoke
And its stars through the night kept the brightness still soaring
But it quickly grew clear when dawn now broke
To see that she got one further morning
Once her pallid trunk had rotted beyond repair
It happened quite slowly that she gently slipped from god's thoughts
First with her face, then her hands, right at the last with her hair
Leaving those corpse-choked rivers just one more corpse

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

Video crime
Chop it up
Video crime
Chop it up
Video crime
Chop it up
Video crime
Chop it up
Video crime
Chop it up

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

I should never call her
Heartbreakers, never kill
But she's been new zealand on another trip
Have you felt like dixon
And ray, and ali

Hit me
Hit me baby
On the camera
Take me in
I'm going down
Hit me baby
You win
Your the very tough with a long past

Your a hammerhead
Sweet thing
Goldwyn drive
Keep it all stuck on here
She's all black or white
Don't tell her where i'm livin'

Hit me
Hit me baby
She got me ruined
She's a bore
She fell apart
Oh, oh, ooh
She's so fabulous
Just like cher
It was life at the top
You would be i

Sweet thing

She's a hammerhead
I mention her hammerhead
Oh, oh, ooh

Drop my folly into the night
Enter the dragon
Oh, oh, ooh

Sweet thing
She's a hammerhead
Mention her hammerhead

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

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

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

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

I can't read and i can't write down
I don't know a book from countdown
I don't care which shadow gets me
All i've got is someone's face

Money goes to money heaven
Bodies go to body hell
I just cough, catch the chase
Switch the channel watch the police car

I can't read shit anymore
I just sit back and ignore
Cause i just can't get it right, can't get it right
I can't read shit i can't read shit

Oh

When you see a famous smile
No matter where you run your mile
To be right in that photograph
Andy where's my fifteen minutes

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.

Till the sun blisters and sprays
And every lamb ceases to graze
When the kiss of the comb
Tears my face from the bone

I'll be your light
When the shadows fall down the walls
Then life will be done
And it just won't matter at all

I was caught from a hand
Nurtured on grime, goodwill and screams
Now your breath fills my step
Now there is you till life is gone

But i'll be your light
When the shadows fall down the walls
Then life will be done
And it just won't matter at all

I'll roll your ball
Till the stars can't make me cry
Then life will be done
And it just won't matter at all
Not at all

When the kiss of the comb
Tears my face

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
