Sunny Afternoon
The tax man's taken all my dough, And left me in my stately home, Lazing on a sunny afternoon. And I can't sail my yacht, He's taken everything I've got, All I've got's this sunny afternoon. Save me, save me, save me from this squeeze. I got a big fat mama trying to break me. And I love to live so pleasantly, Live this life of luxury, Lazing on a sunny afternoon. In the summertime In the summertime In the summertime My girlfriend's run off with my car, And gone back to her ma and pa, Telling tales of drunkenness and cruelty. Now I'm sitting here, Sipping at my ice cold beer, Lazing on a sunny afternoon. Help me, help me, help me sail away, Well give me two good reasons why I oughta stay. 'Cause I love to live so pleasantly, Live this life of luxury, Lazing on a sunny afternoon. In the summertime In the summertime In the summertime Ah, save me, save me, save me from this squeeze. I got a big fat mama trying to break me. And I love to live so pleasantly, Live this life of luxury, Lazing on a sunny afternoon. In the summertime In the summertime In the summertime |

'Cause he gets up in the morning,
and he goes to work at nine, and he comes back home at five-thirty, gets the same train every time. 'Cause his world is built 'round punctuality, it never fails. And he's oh, so good, and he's oh, so fine, and he's oh, so healthy, in his body and his mind. He's a well respected man about town, doing the best things so conservatively. And his mother goes to meetings, while his father pulls the maid, and she stirs the tea with councilors, while discussing foreign trade, and she passes looks, as well as bills at every suave young man. And he's oh, so good, and he's oh, so fine, and he's oh, so healthy, in his body and his mind. He's a well respected man about town, doing the best things so conservatively. And he likes his own backyard, and he likes his fags the best, 'cause he's better than the rest, and his own sweat smells the best, and he hopes to grab his father's loot when Pater passes on. And he's oh, so good, and he's oh, so fine, and he's oh, so healthy, in his body and his mind. He's a well respected man about town, doing the best things so conservatively. And he plays at stocks and shares, and he goes to the Regatta, and he adores the girl next door, 'cause he's dying to get at her, but his mother knows the best about the matrimonial stakes. And he's oh, so good, and he's oh, so fine, and he's oh, so healthy, in his body and his mind. He's a well respected man about town, doing the best things so conservatively. |

I know a man, he's a powerful man
He's got the people in his power In the palm of his hand. He started at the bottom and he worked his way up Now he's never going to stop Until he reaches the top. It's the same old story, it's the same old dream, It's power man, power man, and all that it can bring. If you want your money, you better stand in the line 'Cos you'll only end up picking up nickels and dimes. You call him names and he sits and grins 'Cos everybody else is just a sucker to him. And he's got my money, but I've got my faith And powerman, powerman, I'll never be your slave. It's the same old story, it's the same old game It's power man, power man, driving me insane People tried to conquer the world Napoleon and Genghis Khan Hitler tried and Mussolini too Powerman don't need to fight, powerman don't need no guns Powerman got money on his side Well I'm not rich and I'm not free But I've got my girl and she got me He's got my money and my publishing rights But I've got my girl and I'm alright And she got me going, and she keeps me sane But powerman, powerman, got money on the brain It's the same old story it's the same old game Powerman, powerman driving me insane |

Where are you going I don't mind
I've killed my world and I've killed my time So where do I go, what do I see I see many people coming after me So where are you going to I don't mind If I live too long I'm afraid I'll die So I will follow you wherever you go If your offered hand is still open to me Strangers on this road we are on We are not two, we are one So you've been where I've just come From the land that brings losers on So we will share this road we walk And mind our mouths and beware our talk 'Till peace we find tell you what I'll do All the things I own I will share with you And if I feel tomorrow like I feel today We'll take what we want and give the rest away Strangers on this road we are on We are not two, we are one Holy man and holy priest This love of life makes me weak at my knees And when we get there make your play 'cause soon I feel you're gonna carry us away In a promised lie you made us believe For many men there is so much grief And my mind is proud but it aches with rage And if I live too long I'm afraid I'll die Strangers on this road we are on We are not two, we are one Strangers on this road we are on We are not two, we are one |

This time tomorrow where will we be
On a spaceship somewhere sailing across an empty sea This time tomorrow what will we know Well we still be here watching an in-flight movie show I'll leave the sun behind me and watch the clouds as they sadly pass me by Seven miles below me I can see the world and it ain't so big at all This time tomorrow what will we see Fields full of houses, endless rows of crowded streets I don't know where I'm going, I don't want to see I feel the world below me looking up at me Leave the sun behind me and watch the clouds as they sadly pass me by And I'm in perpetual motion and the world below doesn't matter much to me This time tomorrow where will we be On a spaceship somewhere sailing across an empty sea This time tomorrow, this time tomorrow |

You've come a long way from the runny-nosed and scruffy kid I knew
You had such good ways I can remember the little things that always made you smile They made you happy Now you think you're wiser because you're older and you think That money buys everything And you think that you need no one to guide you But you're still a long way from home. You've come a long way, you're self-assured and dressed in funny clothes but you don't know me. I hope you find what you are looking for with your car and your handmade overcoats But your wealth will never make you stronger 'cos you're still a long way from home Yea, you're still a long way from home |

But all around me everybody's multiplying, and they're walking round like flies, man So I'm no better than the animals sitting in the cages in the zoo, man 'cause compared to the flowers and the birds and the trees -- I am an apeman I think I'm so educated and I'm so civilized 'cause I'm a strict vegetarian And with the over population, and inflation and starvation, and the crazy politicians I don't feel safe in this world no more, I don't want to die in a nuclear war I want to sail away to a distant shore, and make like an apeman I'm an apeman I'm an ape, apeman Oh, I'm an apeman I'm a king-kong man I'm a voodoo man Oh, I'm an apeman 'cause compared to the sun that sits in the sky Compared to the clouds as they roll by Compared to the bugs and the spiders and flies I am an apeman. La la la la... In man's evolution he's created the city and the motor traffic rumble But give me half a chance and I'd be taking off my clothes and living in the jungle 'cause the only time that I feel at ease is swinging up and down in a coconut tree Oh what a life of luxury -- to be like an apeman I'm an apeman I'm an ape, apeman Oh, I'm an apeman I'm a king-kong man I'm a voodoo man Oh, I'm an apeman I look out the window, but I can't see the sky The air pollution is a-fogging up my eyes I want to get out of this city alive And make like an apeman La la la la...

Down the way from the Tottenham Court Road
Just round the corner from old Soho There's a place where the publishers go If you don't know which way to go Just open your ears and follow your nose 'Cos the street is shakin' from the tapping of toes You can hear that music play anytime on every day Every rhythm, every way You got to a publisher and play him your song He says 'I hate your music and you hair is too long But I'll sign you up because I'd hate to be wrong' You've got a tune it's in your head you want to get it placed So you take it down to a music man just to see what he will say He says 'I hate the tune, I hate the words but I'll tell you what I'll do I'll sign you up and take it round the street and see if it makes the grade' And you might even hear it played on the rock 'n' roll hit parade Daytime, night time, every week You can hear that heavy beat Now the walls are shaking from the tapping of feet Daytime, night time, every day You can hear that music play Every rhythm, every way |

Facing the world ain't easy
When there isn't anything going Standing at the corner waiting Watching time go by Will I go into work today Or shall I bide my time? 'Cause when I see that union man walking down the street He's the man who decides if I live or I die, if I starve or I eat Then he walks up to me and the sun begins to shine Then he walks right past and I know that I've got to get back in the line Now I think of what my mama told me She always said that it would never ever work out But all I want to do is make some money And bring you home some wine For I don't want you ever to see me Standing in that line 'Cause that union man got such a hold over me He's the man who decides if I live or I die, if I starve or I eat Then he walks up to me and the sun begins to shine Then he walks right past and I know that I've got to get back in the line Get back, get back, get right back in the line |

I met her in a club down in old Soho
Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like Coca-Cola C-O-L-A, Cola She walked up to me and she asked me to dance I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said Lola L-O-L-A, Lola La-la-la-la Lola Well, I'm not the world's most physical guy But when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine, oh my Lola La-la-la-la Lola Well, I'm not dumb but I can't understand Why she walked like a woman but talked like a man, oh my Lola La-la-la-la Lola La-la-la-la Lola Well, we drank champagne and danced all night Under electric candlelight She picked me up and sat me on her knee And said "Dear boy, won't you come home with me?" Well, I'm not the world's most passionate guy But when I looked in her eyes, well I almost fell for my Lola La-la-la-la Lola La-la-la-la Lola Lola La-la-la-la Lola La-la-la-la Lola I pushed her away I walked to the door I fell to the floor I got down on my knees Then I looked at her and she at me Well, that's the way that I want it to stay And I always want it to be that way for my Lola La-la-la-la Lola Girls will be boys and boys will be girls It's a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world, except for Lola La-la-la-la Lola Well, I left home just a week before And I'd never ever kissed a woman before But Lola smiled and took me by the hand And said "Dear boy, I'm gonna make you a man" Well, I'm not the world's most masculine man But I know what I am and I'm glad I'm a man And so is Lola La-la-la-la Lola La-la-la-la Lola Lola La-la-la-la Lola La-la-la-la Lola Lola La-la-la-la Lola La-la-la-la Lola Lola La-la-la-la Lola La-la-la-la Lola Lola La-la-la-la Lola La-la-la-la Lola Lola La-la-la-la Lola La-la-la-la Lola Lola La-la-la-la Lola La-la-la-la Lola |

I was lost just wandering round downtown
Many people pushing me around Hate spreads just like infection Those rats jumping on and off my back Fat black rats holding me down I see rats in every direction No time to catch your breath Crazy people lost their heads Masses trampling on my feet, inconsiderate in their heat Those rats breeding angriness and spite Never have done anything right for people like you and me Walk over all the people you can't see If they die there's more bread for me Like snakes crawling through the grass No time to catch your breath Crazy people lost their heads Masses trampling on my feet, inconsiderate in their heat Those rats breeding angriness and spite Never have done anything right for people like you and me See that face man look at me, he's much too selfish to see Once he was warm and was kind Now all he has got is a pinstripe mind See that face man look at me, he's much too selfish to see Once he was warm and was kind Now all he has got is a pinstripe mind |

Robert owes half to Grenville
Who in turn gave half to Larry, who Adored my instrumentals And so he gave half to a foreign publisher He took half the money That was earned in some far distant land Gave back half to Larry And I end up with half of goodness knows what Can somebody explain Why things go on this way I thought they were my friends I can't believe it's me I can't believe that I'm so green Eyes down round and round Let's all sit and watch the moneygoround Everyone take a little bit here and a little bit there Do they all deserve Money from a song that they've never heard They don't know the tune, and they don't know the words, but they don't give a damn There's no end to it I'm in a pit and I'm stuck in it The money goes round and around and around And it comes out here When they've all taken their share I went to see a solicitor and my story was heard and the writs were served On the verge of a nervous breakdown, I decided to fight right to the end But if I ever get my money I'll be too old and grey to spend it Oh, but life goes on and on, and no one ever wins And time goes quickly by, just like the moneygoround I only hope that I'll survive... |

I'm oh so happy, so glad to be alive And everybody says it's going to get to the top Life is so easy when your record's hot Go tell my mamma and my sister too To press my trousers and polish my shoes I might even end up a rock-and-roll god It might turn into a steady job. My agent said to me: "Son, I always told you so." Now my record's number 11 on the BBC But number 7 on the N.M.E. Now the Melody Maker want to interview me And ask about my politics and theories on religion. Now my record's up to number 3 And a woman recognized me and started to scream This all seems like a crazy dream I've been invited to a dinner with a prominent queen Now I've got friends that I never knew I had before It's strange how people want you when you record's high When it drops down they just pass you by Now my agent just called me on the telephone said, "Son" "your record's just got to number one" "And do you know what this means? This means you can earn some real money!" |

Never failed at the mill, there come a rotten bill. Too much monkey business, too much monkey business, Too much monkey business for me to be involved with you. Salesman talkin' to me tryin' to run me up a creek, Says you can buy it, go on try it, you can pay me next week. Too much monkey business, too much monkey business, Too much monkey business for me to be involved with you. Blonde hair, good-looking, trying to get into get me married Get a home, settle down by the book. Too much monkey business, too much monkey business Too much monkey business for me to be involved with you. Same thing every day, getting up, going to school, No need for me complaining, my objection's overruled. Too much monkey business, too much monkey business, Too much monkey business for me to be involved with you. Oh! Pay-phone, something's wrong, dime gone, will mail, Oughta sue the operator for telling me a tale. Too much monkey business, too much monkey business, Too much monkey business for me to be involved with you. Been to Yokohama, baby, fighting in the war, Army bunk, army chow, army clothes, army car. Too much monkey business, too much monkey business, Too much monkey business for me to be involved with you. Working in the filling station, too many checks, Wipe the windows, check the oil, check the tires, dollar gas? Too much monkey business, too much monkey business Too much monkey business for me to be involved with you. |

All the stories have been told
Of kings and days of old But there's no England now All the wars that were won and lost Somehow don't seem to matter very much anymore All the lies we were told All the lies of the people running round Their castles have burned Now I see change But inside we're the same as we ever were Living on a thin line Tell me now, what are we supposed to do? Living on a thin line Tell me now, what are we supposed to do? Living on a thin line Living this way, each day is a dream What am I, what are we supposed to do? Living on a thin line Tell me now, what are we supposed to do? Now another century nearly gone What are we gonna leave for the young? What we couldn't do, what we wouldn't do It's a crime, but does it matter? Does it matter much, does it matter much to you? Does it ever really matter? Yes, it really, really matters Living on a thin line Tell me now, what are we supposed to do? Living on a thin line Tell me now, what are we supposed to do? Now another leader says Break their hearts and break some heads Is there nothing we can say or do? Blame the future on the past Always lost in blood and guts And when they're gone, it's me and you Living on a thin line Tell me now, what are we supposed to do? Living on a thin line Tell me now, what are we supposed to do? Living on a thin line |

Where you gonna go now? Who you gonna run to? All your little life You're chasing all the girls. They can't resist your smile. Oh, they long for dandy, dandy. Checkin' out the ladies, Tickling their fancy, Pouring out your charm To meet your own demands, And turn it off at will. Oh, they long for dandy, dandy. Knockin' on the back door, Climbing through the window, Hubby?s gone away, And while the cat's away The mice are gonna play. Oh, you low down dandy, dandy. Dandy Dandy, you know you're moving much too fast, And dandy, you know you can't escape the past. Look around you and see the people settle down, And when you're old and grey you will remember what they said, That two girls are too many, three?s a crowd and four you're dead. Oh dandy, dandy, When you gonna give up? Are you feeling old now? You always will be free, You need no sympathy, A bachelor you will stay, And dandy, you're all right. You're all right. You're all right. You're all right. You're all right. You're all right. |

They're even talking of a war Let all the Russians and the Chinese And the Spanish do their fighting The sun is shining We're going drivin', drivin' Drop all your work Leave it behind Forget all your problems And get in my car And take a drive with me The sandwiches are packed The tea is in the flask We've plenty of beer And gooseberry tarts So take a drive with me We'll take your mother if you want to We'll have a picnic on the grass Forget your nephews And your cousins and your brothers and your sisters They'll never miss us 'Cos we'll be drivin', drivin'. drivin'. drivin' Thousands of trees Hundreds of fields Millions of birds So why don't you come And take a drive with me We'll talk to the cows And laugh at the sheep We'll lie in a field And we'll have a sleep So take a drive with me And all the troubled world around us Seems an eternity away And all the debt collectors Rent collectors All will be behind us But they'll never find us 'Cos we'll be drivin', drivin', drivin', drivin' Passed Barnet Church Up to Potters Bar We won't be home late It's not very far So take a drive with me, take a drive with me Drivin', drivin', drivin', drivin' |

I've been traveling a long time,
To be just where you are. In dreams I have seen you, But you are so very far. How long must I travel on, To be just where you are? How long must I travel on, To be just where you are? I was your friend, I was a fool, I feel for you, though we're far apart. I see your face, Lost without trace, I see your mind, just an empty space. Mindless child of motherhood, You have lost the thing that's good. Mindless child of motherhood, You have lost the thing that's good. I know that it's not fair, To bear a bastard son, But why do you hide there, When we could have shared a love? How long must I travel on, To be just where you are? How long must I travel on, To be just where you are? I was your friend, I was a fool, I feel for you, though we're far apart. I see your face, Lost without trace, I see your mind, just an empty space. Mindless child of motherhood, You have lost the thing that's good. Mindless child of motherhood, You have lost the thing that's good. To me. |

Well Mr. Churchill says, Mr. Churchill says
We gotta fight the bloody battle to the very end Mr. Beaverbrook says we gotta save our tin And all the garden gates And empty cans are gonna make us win We shall defend our island On the land and on the sea We shall fight them on the beaches On the hills and in the fields We shall fight them in the streets Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed to so few 'Cos they have made our British Empire A better place for me and you And this was their finest hour Well Mr. Montgomery says And Mr. Mountbatten says We gotta fight the bloody battle to the very end As Vera Lynn would say We'll meet again someday But all the sacrifices we must make before the end Did you hear that plane flying overhead There's a house an fire and there's someone lying dead We gotta clean up the streets And get me back on my feet Because we wanna be free Do your worst and we'll do our best We're gonna win the way that Mr. Churchill says Oh! oh! oh! oh! oh! oh! Well Mr. Churchill says We gotta hold up our chins We gotta show some courage and some discipline We gotta black up the windows and nail up the doors And keep right on till the end of the war |

Remember walking with you by my side
You were my papa and I was your pride Now I've got children and I'm going grey No time for talking I got nothin' to say Those sunday dinners that we had at home Now I've got a house and I've got friends of my own We can't do tomorrow what we did yesterday It's best that we're going our separate ways, ok How is your rheumatism (nothing to say) How are your chillblains (nothing to say) How's aunty mabel (nothing to say) So far papa, I got nothin' to say, ok Those happy days we spent together We thought our world would never change How the days go by And things will never be the same You keep pretending that everything's fine So you make small talk to help pass the time But all the words that you spit from your face Add up to nothin' you got nothin' to say How are those noisy neighbors next door I'll have to go soon cos I'm getting bored I gotta be home early to see a good play So far papa, I got nothin' to say How is your life insurance (nothing to say) How is your trade union (nothing to say) How is your independence (nothing to say) So for papa, I got nothin' to say |

Now that you've found your paradise
This is your kingdom to command You can go outside and polish your car Or sit by the fire in your shangri-la Here's your reward for working so hard Gone are the lavatories in the backyard Gone are the days when you dreamed of that car You just want to sit in your shangri-la Put on your slippers and sit by the fire You've reached your top and you just can't get any higher You're in your place and you know where you are In your shangri-la Sit back in your old rocking chair You need not worry, you need not care You can't go anywhere Shangri-la Shangri-la Shangri-la The little man who gets the train Got a mortgage hanging over his head But he's too scared to complain 'Cause he's conditioned that way Time goes by and he pays off his debts Got a TV set and a radio For seven shillings a week Shangri-la Shangri-la Shangri-la Shangri-la Shangri-la Shangri-la And all the houses in the street have got a name 'Cause all the houses in the street, they look the same Same chimney pots, same little cars, same window panes The neighbours call to tell you things that you should know They say their lines, they drink their tea, and then they go They tell your business in another shangri-la The gas bills and the water rates and payments on the car Too scared to think about how insecure you are Life ain't so happy in your little shangri-la Shangri-la, shangri-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la Put on your slippers and sit by the fire You've reached your top and you just can't get any higher You're in your place and you know where you are In your shangri-la Sit back in your old rocking chair You need not worry, you need not care You can't go anywhere Shangri-la Shangri-la Shangri-la Shangri-la Shangri-la Shangri-la |
