Hey man, I like your beard
And I like the way you serve that beer I like the way your daughter smiles at me Hey mister, could I have just one more beer I got two big balls A cap and a bat And I play with them all the time I got a million things I'd rather do If only you say you'll stay mine If only you say you'll stay mine If only you say you'll stay mine Yea, this is the place where I live And the place where I love Hey mamselle, fill me up baby I like the way you give me gas Tell me Who is the man with the double-barrelled gun? (My daddy) I think I better move on fast I got a big black car A dog and a cat And I play with them all of the time I got a million things I'd rather do If only you say you'll stay mine If only you say you'll stay mine If only you say you'll stay mine Yea, this is the place where I live And the place where I love The way the old church spire stabs the clouds And when the old folks say I'll have another drink to see me Through the day, thank you J.J. Yea, this is the place where I live And the place where I love Hey, Mrs. be |

Ray decided to be silly after all
He'd died a 1000 times before in the viet war So he strapped himself in and he took his chances Into the valley of the bird, absurd I don't remember what it was the old man said I know I' d tempted fate a 1000 times before So we strapped ourselves in and we took such chances And had a flight for the brother who can't be Birdman, looking for the Wasteland, trying to get my Face tanned it's beautiful here Doing it we're flying in the valley of the birds- fly We decided one for all and all for one And when I do, I really want to go in style So without a sense of reason we explored Like throwing stones into the great unknown Birdman, looking for the Wasteland, trying to get my Face tanned it's beautiful here Doing it we're flying in the valley of the birds- fly |

That's the dance I want to learn if I could master it and put a little style in it I'll have some fun when it's my turn Gable and Monroe in the garden In the desert getting well Eli and Thelma in the DC It wasn't easy you can tell It's just a step away Please will you show us how to live It's just a step away When you got nothing left to give Seven horses not enough to Even fill the tank with gas Monty's outside he wasn't inside But he knows all things must pass Bucking broncos we're all cowboys Hanging from another age Getting sauced that's just how the film goes It's gotta be better than a wage It's just a step away Please will you show us how to live It's just a step away When you got nothing left to give |

Too many teardrops falling make a final blow
Over the years for love are there any left for now Just when I need some soothing water None of my tears are left around Night and day they take so long Tears would was the hurting away CHORUS Too many teardrops Too many teardrops Too many teardrops make a lake where a man can drown Too many teardrops find their way onto the ground Just when I thought the sun was shining Need some more tears there's none around Night and day they take so long Tears would wash the huring away But they're gone, from now on But they're gone, from now on CHORUS |

Predestination, not a thing that you'd plan
Misunderstanding, or a line in the sand Thunder & lightning, did God have a hand Wasn't it frightening, wasn't it sad Would it have mattered, it the timing was bad Something surprising, or nothing so sad A night at the Wiskey, or was I just mad Was it intended, why was I so glad Was it so lovely, did it seem real Was there a purpose, I just can't tell you It was always darkness, time was never on your side That's the rock of ages, and I could tell you why I'd talk about the daytime, and tell you 'bout the night You'll have to live in darkness to get some piece of mind Don't try to make the darkness bright, night will always dim the light Something is a happening, nothing ain't right I've been a waiting, a waiting all night Is it on purpose, who know if you might I'm biting my nails, right through to the bone I seem to be dripping my blood on the phone It was always darkness, time was never on your side That's the rock of ages, and I could tell you why I'd talk about the daytime, and tell you 'bout the night You'll have to live in darkness to get some piece of mind Don't try to make the darkness bright, night will always dim the light If I could tell you I might as well If it was heard, the honest word But you should know, like no one knows The words, just can't be heard Now it don't matter, it's too late to care It's something you'd saviour, leave up in the air You can't criticise it, it wouldn't be fair You couldn't do that, you'd be such a bore It's only the thinking, that altered the score It was always darkness, time was never on your side That's the rock of ages, and I could tell you why I'd talk about the daytime, and tell you 'bout the night You'll have to live in darkness to get some piece of mind Don't try to make the darkness bright, night will always dim the light |

I knew she was a feline
She moved with ease and grace Her green eyes they held mystery No emotion on her face She speaks her lips are kissing The air around her face I don't always understand her But I love her air and grace The European female she is here The European female's here We'll be together for a thousnd years And do you really fear That you might fall I saw her in the Strasse And in the Rue as well Pursued her in the high street She had me in her spell |

You get a taste it ain't enough
To eat your fill you need the stuff You think you're there about to land But is the trip just what you planned You're falling, yes you're falling For the sweet smell of success You're gambling like everyone Who cares who wins you're having fun And you'll be back another day You think you'll win next time you play You're falling, yes you're falling For the sweet smell of success You check your hand you're looking good You see a paath within the wood She beckons you what can you do But follow her to somewhere new You're falling, yes you're falling You're falling, yes you're falling For the sweet smell of success |

Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty Been down isn't it a pity Doesn't seen to be a shadow in the city All around me people looking half dead Choking on the sidewalk, it's hotter than a match head At night it's a different town Go out and find a girl Come on come on and dance all night Just what you need, it will be alright And babe don't you know it's a pity The days can't be like the nights In the summer in the city In the summer in the city Cool town meeting in the city Dressed so fine and looking so pretty Cool cat looking for a kitty Gonna look in every corner of the city 'till I'm wheezing at the bus stop Running up the stairs gonna meet you on the roof top At night it's a different town, go out and find a girl Come on come on and dance all night Just what you need it will be alright And babe don't you know it's a pity The days can't be like the night In the summer in the city In the summer in the city |

And the pharaoh raised his hand
Said dig a hole in the promised land The pointing men are marching in a line They're shooting poison arrows in the sky These are the last days of paradise row There's a man knocking on my door He's playing games with word of the law A hammer in his hand to break your soul But the spirit is a house that will not fall These are the last days of paradise row Tell me Moses where will your children go Now the scorpion will go Where the forest will not grow And the pharaoh lies behind a golden mask His pointing men steal water from our well I don't mind telling you It makes my heart bleed I don't mind telling you It makes my heart bleed These are the last days of paradise row Tell me Moses where will your children go? These are the last days of paradise row Tell me Moses where will your children go? |

When things don't go your way And when life starts to bite And it don't turn out right And your top is spinning round Far along the open ground Then you have to hang on tight Or you'll be blown from sight How does it feel How does it feel How does it feel It takes nerves of steel In the middle of the night If the stars ain't bright And you wonder till the dawn Why you feel so forlorn And you know that you are lost You never count the cost Of all the mistakes you made And all the games you played How does it feel How does it feel How does it feel It takes nerves of steel In the middle of your life When you're staring at the knife And you're near the cutting edge Close enough to make a wedge But you know it ain't enough Even though you hate the stuff It's a sweet and bitter pill But after all it's only real How does it feel How does it feel How does it feel It takes nerves of steel |

Woke up on a good day
And the world was wonderful A midnight summer dream had me in its spell I dreamt about an old man Sat and watched the rain all night He couldn't sleep a wink as all the drops fell He told me of the beauty Hidden in our foreheads He told me of the ugliness We show instead And when we put a foot wrong do we learn From all the pain A midnight summer dream as he watched the rain Then at midnight he poured another drink And bent my ear After midnight we sat up half the night Or maybe more And he began to tell me what it was all for I woke up in an armchair He had gone I don't know where Left me there to sit and look at the rain Don't remember much at all But his words were echoing A midnight summer dream and then wake again Maybe I'll never find him Maybe he's gone forever Maybe I'll have to sit here Watching the weather One thing's pretty certain helped me Make it in the night Showed me somewhere else between wrong and right And at midnight if you can't sleep Then I can bend your ear After midnight we'll sit up half the night Or maybe more And I'll begin to tell you what it is all for Wake up on a good day And the world feels wonderful Midnight summer dream has me in its spell. |

Another worker drops his pen He wants to be done And out on the run Away from her curse, he'd swap all his worth To be a man of the earth For 2 or 3 weeks of the year An Easter Bunny brings Christmas cheer He's out of his head and toasting the dead And feeling much worse, he'd swap all his worth To be a man of the earth To swap all his worth To be a man of the earth Words become the man if only he could write a sonnet He'd place his life upon it to be a man of the earth A man of the earth, he'd swap all his worth To be a man of the earth The wife and kids are already there They're polishing his wicker chair it's looking so bleak At the end of the week he'll be needing a nurse He'd swap all his worth to be a man of the earth A man of the earth Words become the man if only he could write a sonnet He'd place his life upon it to be a man of the earth A man of the earth, he'd swap all his worth To be a man of the earth A man of the earth |

Please don't talk much It burns my ears Tonight you've talked for a thousand years Plastic's real when you're real sick Plastic's real when you're real sick Plastic's real when you're real sick Plastic's real when you're real sick Plastic's real when you're real sick Plastic's real when you're real sick Plastic's real when you're real sick Plastic's real when you're real sick Tell me what you've got to look so pleased about Tell me what you've got to look so pleased about Oh London Lady Why did you lay me? Your head is crowded With the names you've hounded The lines around your Eyes they show me You realize the party's over London Lady Party's over London Lady Tell me what you've got to look so pleased about Tell me what you've got to look so pleased about ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By HUGH CORNWELL, DAVID GREENFIELD, BRIAN DUFFY, JEAN JACQUES BURNEL <i>Lyrics © Universal Music Publishing Group</i> |

The words
Came down the line Just a few words At a time The meaning It was Clear There was no sign of fear The scene That they described Were sad You could have cried The journey's Just too long To even Take the ride It's always The same It's always In vain If the truth Were only known If the words Had only shown That lies and deception They move in one direction And then in the end you lose........ That lies and deception They move in one direction And then in the end you lose........ You lose And now The line is dead You did everything You ever said You brought it down You turned around And what was said Was said The deed is done You've had your fun And home again You'll run You know inside You'll never hide And what was done Was done It's always The same It's always In vain If the truth Were only known If the words Had only shown That lies and deception They move in one direction And then in the end you lose........ That lies and deception They move in one direction And then in the end you lose........ |

Got the chance of a real good time
If you're by yourself, don't hesitate Spent too long on a wooden fence If you want to come don't have to wait If you want to come don't hesitate Let me get to taste your honey child [Chorus] Let's celebrate Let's celebrate Let's celebrate Let's celebrate Let's celebrate Wave a flag or sing a song When you come along let's celebrate Climb aboard the fun mobile There's plenty of room on the tailgate There's plenty of room on the tailgate Let me get to taste your honey child [Chorus] Look for honey round the world Find it in some special girl Maybe one maybe eight Makes no odds let's celebrate Take some time and run around Love the world or run it down Trouble is it's getting late Come with me let's celebrate Let me get to taste your honey child |

Here there lies
Under southern skies A young man loved by someone Known unto God Here there died Under foreign skies A young man loved by someone Known unto God Long to remain underground The boy who lost his name Weeping mother is homeward bound She failed to find his grave I can hear the wind and sea Forever they will be here to guard our sons Here there lies Under southern skies A young man loved by someone Known unto God Here there died Under foreign skies A young man loved by someone Known unto God Long to remain underground The girl who lost her love She will never hear the sound Of the boy who won't return I can hear the wind and sea Forever they will be here to guard our sons Known only unto God |

I saw a woman with a monkey on her back now
I saw the flunkey's suffering on the road Let's all pray to the virgin of hysteria Let's all pretend to be quite sincere Our lives will never be the same now Too much money says look the other way And if you manage to return somehow I promise I will change Please don't go away, again I jump over my shadow, to reach out to you again I jump over my shadow, will you take me back again I jump over my shadow, I jump over my shadow I jump over my shadow, I jump over my shadow Big eyes on little kids with big ideas yeah They're wanting everything that they can see No need to work and bust your guts now Just take what you want from you and me We want some instant deification Too much faith says look the other way And if we don't get gratification Will we ever change, would we ever say, again I jump over my shadow, to reach out to you again I jump over my shadow, will you take me back again I jump over my shadow, I jump over my shadow I jump over my shadow, I jump over my shadow |

In this place I call home
There's a place where I'm alone To speak with you now you're gone Now the autumn has come In this place I call home Even though the leaves have gone I can speak with you now And the winter will come All the words that could have been said And the ghosts we thought we'd carefully laid To rest have returned In this place I call hoome There's a time when I'm alone To speak with you now you're gone What will the spring bring along All the words that could have been said And the ghosts we thought we'd carefully laid to rest Carefully laid to rest Carefully laid to rest have returned In this place I call home There's a place where I'm a lone To speak with you now you're gone And the summer's also gone |

And if you could see your hand
That would help you understand All the things that we endured To be here right now On the way I lost some dreams Shattered other people's too Those remaining are my friends And they light a trail to you And if you could plainly see What was occurring round the bend Would it really change what happens in the end Once I loved a woman so I asked her to be my wife Now that love is indifferent For those years did I waste my life If we saw what was to be Would we just avoid the debris We're here to make our own mistakes And for that we've got to be free And if you could plainly see What was occurring round the bend Would it really change what happens in the end Am I too philosophical Should I look into a crystal ball Am I being too quizzical Or should I trust in fate And if you could see your hand That would help you understand All the things that we endured To be here right now And if you could plainly see What was occurring round the bend Would it really change what happens in the end Would it really change what happens in the end |

from Hugh Cornwell - Guilty (1997)
A dirty broom an empty room you'll never find a better tomb
The passing of a lasting chill a night a day and time stands still The walls just stand their stories cold they watch a history unfold The sink is dry the fat don't fry and still the reasons pass you by When will the troubled soul descend and make amends? When will some laughter come alive? And walk inside walk inside walk inside A house of sorrow is a halfway house A house of sorrow is a halfway house The doors don't shut the pipes just froze the roof is cracked without a cause You feel the sadness everywhere you hear a creaking on the stair And just to liven up your day the spirit walks decides to stay She wakes inside your living room and suffocates you with her gloom When will the troubled soul descend and make amends? When will some laughter come alive And walk inside A house of sorrow is a halfway house A house of sorrow is a halfway house |

When we met I thought that you'd take off and try to fly
Then a man with giant lips began to catch your eye You were caught on a hook It was straight from a book Didn't listen to advice and started telling tales On the runway low on gas your engine starts to fail If you tried you could win Extra time take a spin Hot head I hear you're coming through Your ears are burning that's nothing new Hot head you're wearing no parachute! Knowing one or two up in the blue prepared me good First of all my favourite pilot in my neighbourhood Still in flight with her man Riding high understand Hot head I hear you're coming through Your ears are burning that's nothing new Hot head you're wearing no parachute! |

Big girl in the red dress
She's just trying to impress us And she's got the barley fever But she doesn't make a sound She's just hanging around She's just hanging around Down the court road early With the Hustlers big and burly There's a million of 'em selling And the buyers can be found They're just hanging around They're just hanging around [CHORUS:] Christ he told his mother Christ he told her not to bother Cos he's alright in the city Cos he's high above the ground He's just hanging around (hanging around) He's just hanging around (hanging around) He's just hanging around (hanging around) He's just hanging around (hanging around) One of 'em comes over Got a monkey on his shoulder And the monkey's getting grinner But his eyes are on the ground He's just hanging around He's just hanging around I'm moving to a coleheme With the leather all around me And the sweat is getting steamy But their eyes are on the ground They're just hanging around They're just hanging around [CHORUS 2x] He's just hanging around (hanging around) He's just hanging around |

Golden brown, texture like sun
Lays me down, with my mind she runs Throughout the night No need to fight Never a frown, with golden brown Every time just like the last On her ship tied to the mast To distant lands Takes both my hands Never a frown with golden brown Golden brown, finer temptress Through the ages she's heading west From far away Stays for a day Never a frown with golden brown (instrumental) Never a frown (Never a frown) With golden brown (With golden brown) Never a frown (Never a frown) With golden brown (With golden brown) Never a frown (Never a frown) With golden brown (With golden brown) Never a frown (Never a frown) With golden brown (With golden brown |

This is the story
Of a poor man's son He pulled himself up Turned his face to the sun He burned up the world with a heart on fire And tempted the stars when they hid their light Now everyone wants to touch the golden boy Now everyone wants to touch the golden boy They made melody To support his word He's the new high priest Of the scene and herd They sanctified Sid Till he puked up his life A prick for an idol What a very strange sight Now children are weeping In a hundred towns The spitfire word Shot the pilot down They shoved a rag Down the golden throat And put up a column Where the poor dog choked |
