The future is now
It’s good to belong The dead man’s clothes that you wear like a medal of honour Why bother? These clothes do not fit me I was born for today and the day after Year after year All your classicisms and history don’t impress me There’s no time like the present Place the displace, enchant the disenchanted Use your power Millenium fever Just another way of bringing us together Never never All your classicisms and history don’t impress me I’ve got a lot to do I still the same pull (The future is now) So come out wherever you are Hiding in the decades, people You’re not stupid, you must know the future is now A dome is no home A monument will not keep us warm in winter Lose your fear All your classicsms and history don’t impress me I’ve got a lot to do I still the same pull (The future is now) So com eout wherever you are Hiding in the decades, people You’re not stupid, you must know the future is now All your classicisms and history don’t impress me The future is here, so glad you made it here |

Song from the Blue Room
I've tried so damn hard to convince her But my plea's in vain I still feel the same as I did Could you call her, maybe tell her It Might sound right from you I don't know what else to do Would you try? Now we're older, things are stranger Then they've ever been Now I'm scared of death For the first time All my friends say I look better But my health is gone Smoking far too much All the time Take your future in your own hands Don't rush, take your time Look around and find Your friends Come together, love each other Spit on those who say This is not the way Let them die And what goes up must come down So I can't talk right now And maybe it's easy to believe That once once in your life, once your life You'll find the love that you have always had Realise that before you knew nothing at all |

Comb your hair
We’ve both been sitting here so long Turn it off there’s nothing on The television will not be revolutionised So come on baby, comb your hair And hope the streets will lead us where Everybody will know just what we both need And we may never be this young again Half my life has been misspent Remember how I used to be and my energy And we may never feel this way again Lets not waste the time we have left Get out while we can and clear our dusty heads Holy man, yes, thanks you’re kind But I haven’t got the time To listen to how bad your god says I have been For I have been what you’ve not been And I have seen what you’ve not seen Come back later when you’re lived a little while And we may never be this young again Half my life has been misspent Remember how I used to be and my energy And we may never feel this way again Lets not waste the time we have left Get out while we can and clear our dusty heads .... |

She is everywhere
She hears what I’m thinking, and she also knows What I’m going to say before I do Slip back in my old ways whe she’s not around Drinking tim the sun rises a new You make me happy, there’s nothing else I can be You make me feel, there’s only you and me You made me love you, with everything you are I need you .. We are one, my dear, I’d like to say to you Keep my wings around you all the time I am not the same boy that I once was Nowadays I’m so hard to find You make me happy, there’s nothing else I can be You make me feel, there’s only you and me You made me love you, with everything you are I need you......... |

It’s only been a week or two And me I have done nothing Though there’s so much to do Just lie here, don’t go to town It doesn’t really matter Nothing ever gets me down... You’ve been away too long It’s lonely when you are gone You’ve been away too long At times I feel so alone It’s easy to let it go I’ve lost so many hours Doing what I do not know This blue room, a time machine It doesn’t really matter I’ve got everything I need... You’ve been away too long At times I feel so alone You’ve been away too long It’s so lonely when you are gone I’ve been away too long At times I feel so alone......... |

High as monkeys Lyrics
Try to put yourself in my place It’s written all over my face I’m closer to God I’ve shed my dirty old skin Grown a brand new feeling I’m closer to God Thinking fast and feeling free And there’s no-one who can touch me Higher than the Universe itself Thanks I don’t need no help I don’t have to see my picture Or my name in a music paper Now I’m close to God I don’t have trouble sleepingI don’t have to go to meetings When I’m close to God Thinking fast and feeling free And there’s no one who can touch me Higher than the Universe itself Thanks I don’t need no help It’s a secret no one keeps it Reveals the places others try to hide It tips the balance from the violence That lies within the bottles on the side Now we’re high as monkeys Now we’ve come so far You and I are simple friends no more Now we’re high as monkeys Opened a few doors Let the sunshine crash into our souls Try to put yourself in my place It’s written all over my face I’m closer to God I’ve shed my dirty old skin Grown a brand new feeling I’m closer to God Thinking fast and feeling free And there’s no-one who can touch me Higher than the Universe itself It’s a secret no one keeps it Reveals the places others try to hide It tips the balance from the violence That lies within the bottles on the side Now we’re high as monkeys Now we’ve come so far You and I are simple friends no more Now we’re high as monkeys Opened a few doors Let the sunshine crash into our souls |

The night is filled with stars that last a lifetime long They all belong to me I would like to see you can come home soon I’ve kept it blue for you How would you like to share How would you like to share it all with me How would you like to share How would you like to share it all with me....... All I have is not all that I need to be I need to see this through Living under people who don’t speak for me Don’t care for me or you How would you like to share How would you like to share it all with me How would you like to share How would you like to share it all with me Loneliness makes a man possesed It drives him back It drives him back to other times When life was not so very kind So long ago, in another world When no-one knew the things I’d seen I don’t think I could do it all again Words confuse as Governments refuse To give us but a small sign That each of us is not alone In times of need nothing is received Because politics is power And power is a daily need I’m coming up for air How would you like to share How would you like to share it all with me How would you like to share How would you like to share it all with me.............. |

Heaven’s at the bottom
Reasons for believing in anything Are few and far between these days And I am just a boy who can’t say no Things are so much clearer in a haze And you don’t know, so why not give it a chance Heaven’s at the bottom of this glass Lessons are for learning then throwing away Experience has taught me nothing Think I’ll take a chance and miss you today You can choose real life if you want And you don’t know, so why not give it a chance Heaven’s at the bottom of this glass Blinded by the sunshine give me neon light When I’m far away this is my home A small one on the side to aid my flight Then I can feel my wings begin to grow And you don’t know, so why don’t give it a chance Heaven’s at the bottom of this glass |

Free Huey
Drag the shades across the window Don’t answer any knock at the door Keep your hand on the weapon beside you Keep your eyes out for the law Don’t you know and you gotta be all you can be We’re told to run towards the future While they’re standing on our feet And be content with the scraps that they throw us After promising a feast If you didn’t have a gun then I wouldn’t need a gun .................................. |

The Old Newsstand at Hamilton Square
I was dreaming about Hamilton Square and the newsstand by the station Where we bought the papers every single day I was thinking about the way we treat each other And the way things never stay the same Remembering all these people, all these places A cats gotta learn some day Sad songs are easier to play, I’m afraid We were laughing about that time in New Brighton one summer When you got there and I’d already been And you could’nt believe that I had forgotten that it happened Even forget so it seems Remebering all these people, all these places A cats gotta learn some day Sad songs are easier to play, I’m afraid We were talking about the times we’ve been together And the future seemed so very far away We were coming to terms with the fact that we’re not young anymore But we’re grateful for the times we’ve had Remembering all these people, all these places A cats gotta learn some day sad songs are easier to play, I’m afraid All these people, all these places A cats gotta learn some day sad songs are easier to play, I’m afraid All these people, all these places A cats gotta learn some day sad songs are easier to play, I’m afraid |

I've finally broke your cool!
Leave my things just where they are I didn't think it would go this far Makes no sense no sense at all That's why this bird must fly away Finally broke the rule! Butterfly you made me say I'd never leave but I can't stay I'd never hurt you willingly But it's time this bird must fly away Bird must fly today Butterfly away (butterfly speaks) What am I supposed to do now that Love's gone away, take my life, take My air, release me from this Body, I'll go anywhere! I feel you rising butterfly mcqueen |

Throw out your arms for a new sound Pretty face it don’t mean a thing If you look so same as your crowd Work all day it don’t mean a thing With the sun always outside your window Fuck the ones who tell you that life Is merely a time before dying Look for the box and find what’s inside You’ll never find it till you have done And fuck the ones who tell you that life Is merely a time before dying i know it’s hard to do But have we ever let you down C’mon kids |

Have you heard of Meltin's worm?
It crawled right into his house. The dividends of grubby hands And putting them into your mouth. It set up shop, and would not stop Gorging whatever Meltin could eat. Its exquisite taste, it went to waste On a diet consisting of sweets. Keep away, keep away, keep away Meltin's worm (2x) The doctor came and laid the blame On Meltin's nails, he was biting He made demands they didn't understand Because they couldn't read his writing It grew and grew, and it knew That time was on its side It got such a size, you could see its eyes When Meltin opened his wide Keep away, keep away, keep away Meltin's worm (2x) And there's just one thing it cares about (Grow, grow, grow) Knitting sweaters for the army (Keep me always) Checking numbers off the telly (Keep me always) Making plans with Mr. Felstead (Keep me always) It does it no good, it just needs more food Have you heard of Meltin's worm? It finally killed him to death. Now his Ma feeds it, the uniform fits So she sends it to school instead. (I will always be inside) Keep away, keep away, keep away Meltin's worm (Feed the worm) |

All my life has been so missable
A goddam crying shame Eyes to see with ears to hear While those who're not to blame Can't do what we take for granted Trapped in their own heads I know if it were to happen now I'd wish that I were dead I complain about my looks I feel bad ¡®bout my hair Jesus that's so sad I admit it now Why should anyone care Let me be your ears your eyes Your legs I'm what you need I can't go on living this life Wrapped in my own greed I don't imagine I'll go, you never wanted to Be that way, I never wanted to be this way I love the light that shines and the Sound that's all around I love the light that shines and the Sound that's all around And everyone knows It's hard to do and say what is right But that's allright Cos we've got colours for the blind |

It’s much too hard to do Pack all your things though you only have a few We have got no business here there’s nothing left for us get on the bus... Streets stretch out miles ahead half blind wishing I’d come to bed Where’s he? I told him there on this day at this hour I don’t wanna make a scene or cause a fuss Here it is right on time, it really is a must Get on the bus Streets stretch out miles away As we have this curse place on time where next I’ve no idea Ask the driver if you care I don’t wanna make a scene or cause a fuss Here it is right on time, it really is a must Get on the bus So we proved we’re alive Showed that we can beat time Another one joins the line of those who’ve died But I still see Yes I still hear and Oh! what a time we had Oh! what a time we had... |

And you know you shouldn't have another cigarette
But nothing else makes much sense, nothing else will recompense And you get your loneliness out of a magazine You never felt nothing at all, no one else need ever know Another one has dragged you home And sworn that you're the only one You dream they'll play a special part You write their name upon your heart But then it's back inside your head The thought that it will turn out bad A fleeting glimpse of what is bound to be Don't paint blue all the time Know the truth, read the signs Live your life as a lie You don't have to die Now the phone has lost its voice You're on your own again Spend your time on endless bedroom floor soliloquies The only voice you'll hear all day Will it always be this way? (yes) Once you recognize the truth That all is sad and you're the proof You might as well fight the day Kick back at the pricks who say That all is school and work no more Break your back, it's not your war Disengage, the only way to win Don't paint blue all the time Know the truth, read the signs Live your life as a lie You don't have to die Opened up my paintbox, It had all turned to blue I worked in Birkenhead for you It brings me tears even now You tried to kill me, break my will You almost won, I hate you still The hated suffer not, what's worse The hater carries round the curse It eats me up, the cancer that is you Don't paint blue all the time Know the truth, read the signs Live your life as a lie You don't have to die |

what was weird they found it in his ear She gave a fortune to those in need But her heart was saved for me MONDAY IS MY BIRTHDAY, TUESDAY IS HER BIRTHDAY BLUE BALLOON FOR YOU, RED BALLOON FOR HER Outside the sky is filled with rain And I’m glad to be home again, oh yeah?

Leaves everywhere outside your house
running after you ‘cos you walk too fast And we can’t find a cab looks like the Northern line again Remember that time outside your room playing with the cat just me and you It was my favourite time My world stopped for just an hour I am the voice but not the sound I can go up yet still be down And you don’t know the places that I’ve been to you wouldn’t like m㉣e if you knew (whatcha gonna do when it all breaks down? whatcha gonna do when you lose the sound?) Don’t remind me I cannot say (What happened to the fire that got you through? The days when nothing went right to you?) Hey! nothing changed I’m still the same Hey boy what’s the score don’t you give a shit about yourself no more? If you don’t want me to be real don’t look up to me There are three saints that shaped my life Alban, Bede and Mary I’ve nothing but disrespect for them And for what they almost made me Those who taught, taught what they were taught and not what they had learned Sister I can’t feel what you feel let me try Brother lay your arms down and open your eyes I believe in love (wow!) laugh if you must I don’t care... cos I don’t dare |

What am I trying to say? You were just on my mind Do you remember me? This life is not easy The one thing that can please me The memory of me and my friends Kicking round your shore New Brighton Promenade It's 1983 For ever on the place Whether I choose to be And time has passed quickly The years have been kind to me The memories go with my friends Will always be around You still exist inside my head There's no such thing as being dead When somebody keeps your ghost inside And if you looked inside my head you wouldn't Find a mind instead Step into New Brighton Promenade This life is not easy The one thing that can please me The memory of me and my friends Kicking round your shore |

You’re pretty and you know it
You’re stupid and you show it If there’s a soul behind your face at all I’m struggling to see it Now smile for the camera You’ve got what they’re after Yes it’s all you wanted But it’s that has suffer to suffer this The best clubs in London you’ll always be around them but drinkin’ ain’t livin’ and drinkin’ ain’t givin’ Nah drinkin’s just drinkin’s just drinkin’ My sister’s father had a wife Whose husband had a father Who taught me how to live But died all alone And I wish that I was with him I could tell him all the things that he’s missed And all the things that you think When you think that you’re alone But, man, you can’t see what’s going on At the minute you can do nothing wrong Yes you are a fortunate son But you won’t fool the kids for long |

I remember at school there was always some fool
teaching us about the past Pictures of kids, starving, eating out of bins Man we all had to laugh It’s hard to believe we were told with relief It couldn’t happen now of course It’s easy to expound with your head in the ground I’ve since learnt that and more What is there to do I’m allright so are you but outside there are TB streets You can cry a lot say ‘Oh! my God!’ but as an action it is incomplete put money in the hands of those who understand Give shelter of the roofless heads It’s hard to deny when you open your eyes and listen to yourself instead And you’ll think you’ve gone crazy but you hope it will pass It’s a sickening feeling maybe it won’t last It shouldn’t be happening at this point in time With these houses standing empty |

I don't really need to be the way I are
I don't really need to always go so far I could get by on being alive but having no life I don't really need a fuel infected car I don't really need (or want) to be some kind of star I could get by on being alive but having no life You don't really know what it is you ask All that I want is to find some piece at last Take it further Ride the tiger (ride the tiger poem: geoff bird) |

Words don’t mean a thing they tend to be just what is said to get by,
without a sign, of what is in your head, words alone cannot condone or condemn anyone, ease your pain or rearrange something that’s been done, but what’s to say anyway One last time and then, I couldn’t manage anymore, I know I should think more about it I know I should try for one last hurrah |

WILDER
Could I get much colder To live somewhere else In my head and in my heart Is it to much to forgive And if I were much wiser Maybe I would realise That it's not where you are It's who you're with But maybe it's brighter down there Maybe it's wilder Maybe it's brighter down there Maybe it's wilder You have seen the worst of me For that I'm truly sorry It's not you, it's this place And not knowing where to turn Maybe I would be sorry But I need to find out I know you don't understand I can't blame you for that But maybe it's brighter down there Maybe it's wilder maybe it's brighter down there Maybe it's wilder |

TWINSIDE
It thinks it's right when it knows it's wrong It's been like this right from day one It don't need anyone to be its guide But it needs someone on its side And I know that I can't make up my mind I can feel it there's two of me inside, twinside Make way for the end of frustration Make may for the united front One thought for a new situation When it gets so it cannot walk Can't stand up or even talk Like a secret you cannot hide It feels it kicking deep inside * And I know that I can't make up my mind I can feel it there's two of me inside, twinside * Make way for the end of frustration Make may for the united front One thought for a new situation When it feels ready to explode It just sits quiet without a word When the right thinks it knows best The left will go for something else *repeat |

STUCK ON AMBER
Dead in the water, nothing left Except the stench of what has gone before Make some coffee, drink it down And fix upon the pattern on the wall I stare at my face, I stare at my face I know every trace And I make it hard to get along with me I make it hard to get along with me Bills and heartburn, pills and soaps And flickin thru' the books you've read before Tears come easy, words come hard But there really isn't much to say no more I stare at my face, I stare at my face I know every trace And I make it hard to get along with me And I make it hard to get along with me............ ............. |

FIND THE ANSWER WITHIN
I was sitting with the band A drink in each hand There wasn't much to say He asked me for my name Said he was glad he came He wished that he could stay I said the only thing I've got more of is time This isn't what you think, and it's not what I thought it would be You've got a lonely face, do you want my place Where there are all the answers Do you wanna join the race, can you keep the pace Or stay and take your chances I was sleeping on my couch I was really out I didn't hear you leave They asked me for some words To clear up all their hurts They wished that they weren't them I said the only thing I've got more of is time This isn't what you think, and it's not what I thought it would be You've got a lonely face, do you want my place Where there are all the answers Do you wanna join the race, can you keep the pace Or stay and take your chances The world is at your feet Try and make something happen You've got a lonely face, do you want my place Where there are all the answers Do you wanna join the race, can you keep the pace Or stay and take your chances........... |

JOEL
Thru' all the hurt and the pain I don't regret a single day My friends are not the ones who Tell me who my friends should be But don't be afraid, you know you make me happy Remember that I've found myself in Ladbroke Grove Things kept within I should resolve If I could reach backwards I wouldn't change a thing And listen Joel, it won't be easy, it's never easy Remember this .. Don't go with the flow............... Try follow your own path.......... All I want is harmony Like some outmoded sixties throwback I don't feel no destiny you make your own luck if you want it now.... I don't regret a single day .. Once you get hit so often you become numb to everything You find out that you are on your own......... |

FAIRFAX SCENE
It's easy to hide behind a smile, behind an ugly grace It's easy to talk behind the back, it's harder to the face It's easy to drink than to think, it's all so easy then It's easy to shy away from life, it's hard to be the man Oh come on listen to me, I can't complain I got it easy I've everything I thought I always wanted Even though I'm keeping busy there's something more that still escapes me I had it then, but now it's gone away |
