The first thing sharon i ever learned
Never trust a man with confiidence again
The next thing sharon i'd over heard
The fact he's seeing you again is no coincidence

Cos' sharon he wants you
And i know he lied
When he says he wants you to be his bride
Therse no telling you sharon cos' god knows i've tried
And what hurts me sharon , you don't know why , you don't know why

S.h.a.r.o.n.
S.h.a.r.o.n.
Yeah its winter now but it was summer then

The next thing sharon between you and me
Is for you to see and me to believe
Cos' somehow its harder when your far away
Knowing your happy in your own particular way

Cos' sharon he wants you
And i know he lied
When he says he wants you to be his bride
Therse no telling you sharon cos' god knows i've tried
And what hurts me sharon , you don't know why , you don't know why

S.h.a.r.o.n.
S.h.a.r.o.n.
And its winter now but it was summer then

S.h.a.r.o.n.
S.h.a.r.o.n.
And again , and again , and again , and again

The last thing sharon i ever wanted was leave you
Broken and permanently haunted
The last thing sharon i ever wanted was leave you
Broken and permanently haunted

S.h.a.r.o.n.
The last thing sharon i ever wanted was leave you
Broken and permanently haunted

Lets go tonight

There are words that will make you
Make you angry,happy all at once
All at once everything changes
Changes over the whole wide world

This is not the worst thing
Its not the only thing
Its not the real thing
Its just a pimp talking, its just a pimp talking

There are words as big as work
They will hook you then slap you some slap you some
Some people find better ways of making money
Money something that you get not make

This is not the worst thing
It's not the only thing
Its not the real thing
Its just a pimp talking, its just a pimp talking

This is not the worst thing
Its not the only thing
Its not the real thing
Its just a pimp talking, its just a pimp talking

I think i'm goin' back to the things i learned so well in my youth
I think i'm returning to those days when i was young enough to know the truth
Now there are no games to only pass the time
No more electric trains, no more trees to climb
But thinking young and growing older is no sin
And i can play the game of life to win

I can recall a time when i wasn't ashamed to reach out to a friend
Now i think i've got a lot more than just my toys to lend
Now there's more to do than watch my sailboat glide
But every day can be a magic carpet ride
A little bit of courage is all we lack
So catch me if you can, i'm goin' back

Now there's more to do than watch my sailboat glide
But every day can be a magic carpet ride
A little bit of courage is all we lack.
So catch me if you can, i'm goin' back

Faifley had a black cloud around it
There was nobody there and someone had stole the chimneys
Fifteen dogs ran up the street
Looking for the hepatitis hospital
And a cat with a bread poultice was singing shangalang backwards

The sunday mail says woodys in japan now
I'd made it through partic, whiteinch, scotstoun and yoker
I was here same as everyone
No more fags, no more giro, no more petrol

(cover version)

The freedom train is coming, can't you hear the whistle blowing
Its time get your ticket and get on board
Its time for all the people to take this freedom ride
Get it together and work for freedom side by side

I'm gonna ride on the freedom train
I ain't gonna live this way again
I'm gonna get on the freedom train
From this day on i'll be a free man (yes i will i'll be a free man)

Seem like the times are changing people
The trains waiting at the station
Go on up to the mountain top and get on board
Were gonna ride on through the valley
Under the clear blue sky
Everybody's gonna stand up proud with their heads held high

I'm gonna ride on the freedom train
I ain't gonna live this way again
I'm gonna get on the freedom train
From this day on i'll be a free man (yes i will i'll be a free man)

Keep on moving, cast your vote
Tell 'em where to get off ,keep on going
We're gonna see the mountains, keep on going
Gotta get your ticket,the freedom train

We went as we know how
As far as the wind and the sky would allow
Waking from sleep
Alive to the noise we came

After the turn of the year
With only the sky as a silver seer
Of anything restively turning
And slowly beginning

Now even the weatherman's smiling
He never could see it this good
Why are we so afraid
That under the indigo sky
We'll sing and we'll drink and we'll cry

After the falling apart
After the noise and the guilt and the hurt
We woke from sleep
And saw that it wasn't a dream

Was it a trick of the light
That there in the spirit damned demon night
We lit a fire
And crowded all around it

Now even the weatherman's smiling
He never could see it this good
Why are we sore afraid
That under the indigo sky we lay down and we died

Under the indigo sky
We lay down and we died

Fourteen years on a steam-pack sonny
Trying to get the kit off my back
Pushing shanghai to liverpool sonny
Pissing in the wind and the flag

You're kipping out in the railway station
Now you've left the navy behind
You're hoping just to ride

Fourteen years of belligerence sonny
Working from dakar to belise
Fourteen years of marine life, baby
Trying to keep a man of your knees

Your kipped out in a railway station
Now you've left the navy behind

You're hoping just to ride
Hoping just to ride
Hoping just to ride

There`s no direction
And no way through
There is no reason
To pay back what is through
You never owned intentions
Never knowed no way back
Never knowed no way back

But i know you`re only asking
And i know you might just care
You only ring my number
For the answer that`s not there
You know the cost of everything
And the value of nothing
The only thing that`s certain
Is you`re bound to love again

And he just came from eden
Where the fruit was on the tree
And he passed me some and signalled
That the world was there to see
And it seemed so wide and opened
And it seemed to be so free
It seemed to be so free

Well you opened up the cage
And you let us fly away
You saw us as we carried
All the gifts that you now see
You know the cost of everything
But you value what you yearn
The only thing that`s certain
Is you`re bound to love again
Bound to love again
Bound to love again

Bound to love again
Bound to love again

You know the cost of everything
And the value of nothing
The only thing that`s certain
Is you`re bound to love again

I know you`re only asking
And i know you might just care
You only ring my number
For the answer that`s not there
You know the cost of everything
And the value of nothing
The only thing that`s certain
Is you`re bound to love again

You`re bound to love again
Bound to love again

For oscar marzaroli 1933 - 1988

Take me to the place where your heart hurts most
Lead me through the dark world gates down there
Where all the ghosts of sorrow and pain
And fear and despair stay hiding
And we'll walk right through to our own way, our own place

There's a beach that i walk so long and so broad
Oceans away miles longer than pain
In my glad dreams, i take you there, and it's easy
Because the work and the hours
And the pay are far behind our sure steps

My heart longs to be next to you
My heart want's to be there, be there with you
Where it's warm and tender and mercy flows like a river
And there you stand with your wide open hands
And say abide with me

I think the whole world should look good
That's important to me
Everyone should look good
And when they die they should die with their boots on
And their hearts on fire

When i die they'll cry
I'll have candy and chocolate whirls
And party gowns framing bonny girls
Will carry me off to disneyworld

I think the whole world should be funny
Thats important to me
If you can't be funny don't be ugly
When they speak they should speak with their hands firmly on their hearts

When i die they'll cry
I'll have candy and chocolate whirls
And party gowns framing bonny girls
Will carry me off to disneyworld

I like to see people happy
Singing on the way to work
Children and animals happy
When they laugh they should laugh like us
Not like other creatures do

When i die they'll cry
I'll have candy and chocolate whirls
And party gowns framing bonny girls
Will carry me off to disneyworld

Always another time
Getting lost in a different dream
Star crossed and never scared to name it
He once was a roving man
Now he wears his wedding band
Never times to waste not being together

Maybe there's a million years
A thousand leagues of fallen tears still falling
We're always alone

She'll be your roving girl
Travel out and in your world
She'll bring you gifts you never thought to mention
Kind words and kisses sweet
High walls and windows deep
To keep safe but show there's nothing worth your missing

Maybe there's a veil of tears
Atapestry of leaden cares we'll share in
We're always alone

Maybe there's a veil of tears
Tapestry of leaden cares we'll share in
We're always alone
So good alone

There was ice and broken pavements on the hill tower
And the light was falling from the infirmary
And the last of the dogs was barking
At the steps from gentle teardrops and me

And i asked about her sister and her mother
And her uncle tom serving on the sea
And her grampa's gammy leg that kept him in his bed
And kept out gentle teardrops and me

And its a long way to keep up conversation
When your broken up over fish 'n' chips and peas
And the grease is on your arm
Like a girl you've never worn
Walking home gentle teardrops and me

It's a cold cold night..its a cold cold night
And i wont forget september is your birthday
And the prisons been paid up for fifteen weeks
And i'll send it through to ease
You can take it as you please
With love the gentle teardrops from me
With love the gentle teardrops ........from...me

Yes we're rolling home...ahh we're rolling home
With gentle teardrops...ahh we're rolling home
With gentle teardrops

Every day they write the headlines
Talking diamonds talking steel
Don't talk things that, folk don't know
Talk about money and stuff thats real

Back here in beanoland the bubble is bursting
All things get busted, some things get builded
Old ladies write letters old men dream memories
Back here in beanoland all things are real

Everyday my neighbour drives
For the company from the south
Tells the stories of how things are there
Talks about their life talks about ours

Back here in beanoland the bubble is bursting
All things get busted, some things get builded
Old ladies write letters old men dream memories
Back here in beanoland all things are real

I've trying to find a reason
I've been trying to leave this house
Everyday they cross that great bridge
And watch those trains pull in and out

Those trains, those trains, those trains
Yeah, those trains, those trains

Back here in beanoland the bubble is bursting
All things get busted, some things get builded
Old ladies write letters old men dream memories
Back here in beanoland all things are real

All things are real

The river is wide
The river is wide
The river is as broad and white as satan's smile
The soul of man can never hide
The river is wide
The river is wide

The river is calm
The river is calm
The river's as safe as a babe asleep in a mamma's arms
The soul of man needs a soothing balm
The river is calm
The river is calm

The day is long
The day is long
The day's own light is faint and wan
I'm as weak as i am strong
The river is wide
The day is long

In this country dreams don't sleep
Hands stay open wide as the streets in your pocket
Under your shoes these golden roads
Keep telling you

Find out fast, find out hard, your little lincoln, little ford

Want to walk tall
As the buildings go mountain tops of colorado
You're rolling faster than the big cars go
Big cars hit hard and knock you low

Find out fast, find out hard, your little lincoln, little ford

Men talk loud
What they can ill afford little lincoln yeah little ford
The whole world sleeps and baby you drive
Taking the ocean in your stride never crosses your mind

That wheel keep turning lights keep falling
White walled tyres keep burning

Find out fast, find out hard, your little lincoln, little ford
Find out fast, what the can ill afford,little lincoln, little ford
Find out fast, find out hard, your little lincoln, little ford

The look of love
Is in your eye
The look your smile can't disguise

The look of love
Is saying so much more
Than just words could ever say

And what my heart has heard
Well it , takes my breath away

I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long i have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that i have found you

You've got the look of love
Upon your face
The look that time can't erase

Your mine tonight
Could this be just the start of
So many nights like this
Lets take a lovers vow and then
Seal it with a kiss

I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long i have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that i have found you
You've got that look

I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long i have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that i have found you

Don't ever go
Don't ever go
Don't ever go
Don't ever go

Baby don't go
Baby don't go
Don't ever go
I love you

Baby please don't go

The only one with a party dress
That could fall in blue waves upon the floor
And step the country waltz that i'd seen her dance
On her front lawn of her house all alone

She lies still beside me with the t.v. on
I see her mummy look so sad
Turn down the volume and watch worried women weep
And touch the ring on her frozen hand

But she's my friend tonight
She's my friend tonight

Now i watch the flames leap up into the sky
From a fire that swallows all her clothes
She's stretched across a floor that's never been her home
I'll take her with me when i go

But she's my friend tonight
She's my friend tonight

We're young again
Oh you never missed me this way...

But she's my friend tonight
She's my friend tonight

Tomorrows a holiday and we will be high all day
Singing and playing shows and going as far as the country bus goes
And the bands will be swinging as high as the swing boat goes
And the trees will be swaying and the boats will be heading out to the sea

Hey don't let the teardrops start for all of the times you've had
Go now and rest your weary heart
Tomorrow is near

Cos' all the friends are departing the night skies are parting
Late drinkers are singing their way home and the tower bell is ringing over the ????
Seems like the country is smiling the good times returning
Don't let your eyes start clouding and your old songs start bringing you down again

Hey don't let the teardrops start for all of the times you've had
Go now and rest your weary heart
Tomorrow is near

Hey don't let the teardrops start for all of the times you've had
Go now and rest your weary heart
Tomorrow is near

There is something almost right
There is something that really talks to me
There is something wrong but almost good
There is something that nearly terrifies

There is something more we can talk about
Maybe there is something we can change
If there are ways to go then let us
We don't want to live this always

Cry your heart
For something good you'd do it for
You try so hard
For something, almost beautiful

Far and distant from what you see is what is there
And that love there is something wonderful,wonderful
There's nowhere to go but here now
And nothing to find that isn't beautiful

And all that's lost you count as nought
To what is there so free so free
We don't wanna live this
This way are way no way no way no way i said

Cry your heart
For something good you'd do it for
You try so hard
For something almost beautiful.

Cry your heart
For something good you'd do it for
You try so hard
For something almost beautiful.

I hope one day all the waters will clear
I want to see them rolled away
I hope one day all the stones and the secrets
I want to see them blown away, so get in love

Call me joy ,call me will ,call me anything
Call me hopeful
I've got that brilliant feeling

I hope one day all the lies and dust
I want to see them blown away
I hope one day i stand on these sands
I want to be there so get in love

Call me joy ,call me will ,call me anything
Call me hopeful
I've got that brilliant feeling

I hope one day they'll turn around all things
I hope one day they'll turn around all things
I hope one day they'll turn around all things
So get in love

Call me joy ,call me will ,call me anything
Call me hopeful
I've got that brilliant feeling

One bright morning
I'll fly away

Here's a cry for every lie you tried but didn't know i saw
And a sigh for every poor man,and woman and child that you ignore
Here's some wounded sailors from fighting your war overseas
Good god almighty its pulling me down on my knees

But if you don't know where you hurt
Where you wound and you bite and you burn
Then you don't understand

Now i'm the man who crumbled five years into your plan
And i'm dreaming of days when my hands and face were oily and blackened
Finnieston's howling ghost ships are all i can see
But now i shiver and shift and i'm worried
So i drift -'cause i know that i'm beaten

But if you think we don't know that you know
Each time we tumble under your blows
Then you don't understand

Its goodbye tonight ,i'm catching the ten o'clock train
Its leaving central station and pulling out of this wind and this terminal rain

So its bye bye, glasgow
Bye bye baby goodbye
Ooh be lah , we na na
There's only so long you can try

You're taking down the signs
Now the time has come and the cleansing's coming
You're turning down the lights
In this cruel light symbols mean nothing

You're taking down the signs
Turning round your eyes
From dreams that seem so bright
Flying hope like kites
Hold loved ones tight
And turning to the light of that long window to love

And you forget about the years
About the planting and the dying and the growing
And you forget about your cares
But you remember that they've been forgotten
By the people sent to london

They're taking down your cares
Drinking off your tears
Gambling on your fears
For things that cost so dear
And won't be paid for years
Hoping you won't stare down that long window to love

They'd burgle all your sanity if it would let them hold you under
They'd knock on your door so hard the frame would crack under the strain
Its just the same ,just the same, its just the same ,just the same

You're taking down the signs
Now the time has come and the cleansing's coming
You're turning down the lights
In this cruel light symbols mean nothing

You're taking down the signs
Turning round your eyes
From dreams that seem so bright
Flying hope like kites
Hold loved ones tight
And turning to the light of that long window to love
