I know you
I care too I see through All of the pictures that you keep on the wall All of the people that will come to the ball But hear me calling Won't you give me A free ride. I know too What you do When you're through Counting the cattle as they go by the door Keeping a carpet that's so thick on the floor But hear me calling Won't you give me A free ride. I know you I care too I see through All of the pictures that you keep on the wall All of the pictures that you keep on the wall But hear me calling Won't you give me A free ride. |

Strange face, with your eyes
So pale and sincere. Underneath you know well You have nothing to fear. For the dreams that came to you when so young Told of a life Where spring is sprung. You would seem so frail In the cold of the night When the armies of emotion Go out to fight. But while the earth sinks to its grave You sail to the sky On the crest of a wave. So forget this cruel world Where I belong I'll just sit and wait And sing my song. And if one day you should see me in the crowd Lend a hand and lift me To your place in the cloud. |

Do you curse where you come from,
Do you swear in the night Will it mean much to you If I treat you right. Do you like what you're doing, Would you do it some more Or will you stop once and wonder What you're doing it for. Hey slow Jane, make sense Slow, slow, Jane, cross the fence. Do you feel like a remnant Of something that's past Do you find things are moving Just a little too fast. Do you hope to find new ways Of quenching your thirst, Do you hope to find new ways Of doing better than your worst. Hey slow Jane, let me prove Slow, slow Jane, we're on the move. Do it for you, Sure that you would do the same for me one day. So try to be true, Even if it's only in your hazey way. Can you tell if you're moving With no mirror to see, If you're just riding a new man Looks a little like me. Is it all so confusing, Is it hard to believe When the winter is coming Can you sign up and leave. Hey slow Jane, live your lie Slow, slow jane, fly on by. |

Don't you have a word to show what may be done
Have you never heard a way to find the sun Tell me all that you may know Show me what you have to show Won't you come and say If you know the way to blue? Have you seen the land living by the breeze Can you understand a light among the trees Tell me all that you may know Show me what you have to show Tell us all today If you know the way to blue? Look through time and find your rhyme Tell us what you find We will wait at your gate Hoping like the blind. Can you now recall all that you have known? Will you never fall When the light has flown? Tell me all that you may know Show me what you have to show Won't you come and say If you know the way to blue? |

Please beware of them that stare
They'll only smile to see you while Your time away And once you've seen what they have been To win the earth just won't seem worth Your night or your day Who'll hear what I say. Look around you find the ground Is not so far from where you are But not too wise For down below they never grow They're always tired and charms are hired From out of their eyes Never surprise. Take your time and you'll be fine And say a prayer for people there Who live on the floor And if you see what's meant to be Don't name the day or try to say It happened before. Don't be shy you learn to fly And see the sun when day is done If only you see Just what you are beneath a star That came to stay one rainy day In autumn for free Yes, be what you'll be. Please beware of them that stare They'll only smile to see you while Your time away And once you've seen what they have been To win the earth just won't seem worth Your night or your day Who'll hear what I say. Open up the broken cup Let goodly sin and sunshine in Yes that's today. And open wide the hymns you hide You find reknown while people frown At things that you say But say what you'll say About the farmers and the fun And the things behind the sun And the people round your head Who say everything's been said And the movement in your brain Sends you out into the rain. |

Never know what i came for Seems that i've forgotten Never ask what i came for Or how i was begotten. I'm a poor boy And i'm a ranger Things i say May seem stranger than sunday Changing to monday. Nobody knows How cold it flows And nobody feels The worn down heels Nobody's eyes Make the skies Nobody spreads Their aching heads. Oh poor boy So worried for his life Oh poor boy So keen to take a wife. He's a mess but he'll say yes If you just dress in white.

Summer was gone and the heat died down
And Autumn reached for her golden crown I looked behind as I heard a sigh But this was the time of no reply The sun went down and the crowd went home I was left by the roadside all alone I turned to speak as they went by But this was the time of no reply The time of no reply is calling me to stay There is no hello and no goodbye To leave there is no way The trees on the hill had nothing to say They would keep their dreams till another day So they stood and thought and wondered why For this was the time of no reply Time goes by from year to year And no one asks why I am standing here But I have my answer as I look to the sky This is the time of no reply The time of no reply is calling me to stay There's no hello and no goodbye To leave there is no way |

A day once dawned from the ground Then the night she fell And the air was beautiful The night she fell all around. So look see the days The endless coloured ways And go play the game that you learnt From the morning. And now we rise And we are everywhere And now we rise from the ground And see she flies And she is everywhere See she flies all around So look see the sights The endless summer nights And go play the game that you learnt From the morning. |

so crowded that you can't look out the window in the morning. And what will happen in the evening in the forest with the weasel with the teeth that bite so sharp when you're not looking in the evening. And all the friends that you once knew are left behind they kept you safe and so secure amongst the books and all the records of your lifetime. What will happen In the morning When the world it gets so crowded that you can't look out the window in the morning. Hey, take a little while to grow your brother's hair And now, take a little while to make your sister fair. And now that the family Is part of a chain Take off your eyeshade Start over again. Now take a little while to find your way in here Now take a little while to make your story clear. Now that you're lifting Your feet from the ground Weigh up your anchor And never look round.

Fame is but a fruit tree
So very unsound. It can never flourish Till its stalk is in the ground. So men of fame Can never find a way Till time has flown Far from their dying day. Forgotten while you're here Remembered for a while A much updated ruin From a much outdated style. Life is but a memory Happened long ago. Theatre full of sadness For a long forgotten show. Seems so easy Just to let it go on by Till you stop and wonder Why you never wondered why. Safe in the womb Of an everlasting night You find the darkness can Give the brightest light. Safe in your place deep in the earth That's when they'll know what you were really worth. Forgotten while you're here Remembered for a while A much updated ruin From a much outdated style. Fame is but a fruit tree So very unsound. It can never flourish Till its stalk is in the ground. So men of fame Can never find a way Till time has flown Far from their dying day. Fruit tree, fruit tree No-one knows you but the rain and the air. Don't you worry They'll stand and stare when you're gone. Fruit tree, fruit tree Open your eyes to another year. They'll all know That you were here when you're gone. |

Who can know The reasons for her smile What are her dreams When they've journeyed for a mile The way she sings And her brightly coloured rings Make her the princess of the sky. Who can know What happens in her mind Did she come from a strange world And leave her mind behind Her long lost sighs And her brightly coloured eyes Tell her story to the wind. Who can know The thoughts of Mary Jane Why she flies Or goes out in the rain Where she's been And who she's seen In her journey to the stars. |

I've fallen far down, the first time around, now I just sit on the ground in your way. Now if it's time to recompense for what's done, come, come sit down on the fence in the sun. And the clouds will roll by and we'll never deny- it's really too hard for to fly. Please tell me your second name. Please play me your second game. I've fallen so far for the people you are, I just need your star for a day. So come, come ride in my streetcar by the bay for now I must know how fine you are in your way. And the sea sure as I, but she won't need to cry for it's really too hard for to fly. |

When the night is cold Some get by but some get old Just to show life's not made of gold When the night is cold. When the bird has flown Got no-one to call your own Got no place to call your home When the bird has flown. When the game's been fought You speed the ball across the court Lost much sooner than you would have thought Now the game's been fought. When the party's through Seems so very sad for you Didn't do the things you meant to do Now there's no time to start anew Now the party's through.

Spent most of his days out of his head For his shed was rotten let in the rain Said it was enough to drive any man insane When it rained He felt so bad When it snowed he felt just simply sad. Well there was a girl who lived nearby Whenever he saw her he could only simply sigh But she lived in a house so very big and grand For him it seemed like some very distant land So when he called her His shed to mend, She said I'm sorry you'll just have to find a friend. Well this story is not so very new But the man is me, yes and the girl is you So leave your house come into my shed Please stop my world from raining through my head Please don't think I'm not your sort You'll find that sheds are nicer than you thought. |

Saturday sun came early one morning
In a sky so clear and blue Saturday sun came without warning So no-one knew what to do. Saturday sun brought people and faces That didn't seem much in their day But when I remember those people and places They were really too good in their way. In their way In their way Saturday sun won't come and see me today. Think about stories with reason and rhyme Circling through your brain. And think about people in their season and time Returning again and again And again And again And Saturday's sun has turned to Sunday's rain. So Sunday sat in the Saturday sun And wept for a day gone by. |

They'll only smile to see you while Your time away And once you've seen what they have been To win the earth just won't seem worth Your night or your day Who'll hear what i say. Look around you find the ground Is not so far from where you are But not too wise For down below they never grow They're always tired and charms are hired From out of their eyes Never surprise. Take your time and you'll be fine And say a prayer for people there Who live on the floor And if you see what's meant to be Don't name the day or try to say It happened before. Don't be shy you learn to fly And see the sun when day is done If only you see Just what you are beneath a star That came to stay one rainy day In autumn for free Yes, be what you'll be. Please beware of them that stare They'll only smile to see you while Your time away And once you've seen what they have been To win the earth just won't seem worth Your night or your day Who'll hear what i say. Open up the broken cup Let goodly sin and sunshine in Yes that's today. And open wide the hymns you hide You find reknown while people frown At things that you say But say what you'll say About the farmers and the fun And the things behind the sun And the people round your head Who say everything's been said And the movement in your brain Sends you out into the rain. |

Lifting the mask from from a local clown
Feeling down like him Seeing the light in a station bar And travelling far in sin Sailing downstairs to the northern line Watching the shine of the shoes And hearing the trial of the people there Who's to care if they lose. And take a look you may see me on the ground For i am the parasite of this town. Dancing a jig in a church with chimes A sign of the times today And hearing no bell from a steeple tall People all in dismay Falling so far on a silver spoon Making the moon for fun And changing a rope for a size too small People all get hung. Take a look and see me coming through For i am the parasite who travels two by two. When lifting the mask from a local clown And feeling down like him And i'm seeing the light in a station bar And travelling far in sin And i'm sailing downstair to the northern line Watching the shine of the shoes And hearing the trials of the people there Who's to care if they lose. And take a look you may see me on the ground For i am the parasite of this town. And take a look you may see me in the dirt For i am the parasite who hangs from your skirt. |

I care too I see through All of the pictures that you keep on the wall All of the people that will come to the ball But hear me calling Won't you give me A free ride. I know too What you do When you're through Counting the cattle as they go by the door Keeping a carpet that's so thick on the floor But hear me calling Won't you give me A free ride. I know you I care too I see through All of the pictures that you keep on the wall All of the pictures that you keep on the wall But hear me calling Won't you give me A free ride. |

A day once dawned, and it was beautiful
A day once dawned from the ground Then the night she fell And the air was beautiful The night she fell all around. So look see the days The endless coloured ways And go play the game that you learnt From the morning. And now we rise And we are everywhere And now we rise from the ground And see she flies And she is everywhere See she flies all around So look see the sights The endless summer nights And go play the game that you learnt From the morning. |

And what will happen in the morning when the world it gets
so crowded that you can't look out the window in the morning. And what will happen in the evening in the forest with the weasel with the teeth that bite so sharp when you're not looking in the evening. And all the friends that you once knew are left behind they kept you safe and so secure amongst the books and all the records of your lifetime. What will happen In the morning When the world it gets so crowded that you can't look out the window in the morning. Hey, take a little while to grow your brother's hair And now, take a little while to make your sister fair. And now that the family Is part of a chain Take off your eyeshade Start over again. Now take a little while to find your way in here Now take a little while to make your story clear. Now that you're lifting Your feet from the ground Weigh up your anchor And never look round. Let's sing a song For Hazey Jane She's back again in my mind. If songs were lines In a conversation The situation would be fine. |

A city freeze
Get on your knees Pray for warmth and green paper. A city drought You're down and out See your trousers don't taper. Saddle up Kick your feet Ride the range of a London street Travel to a local plane Turn around and come back again. And at the chime of the city clock Put up your road block Hang on to your crown. For a stone in a tin can Is wealth to the city man Who leaves his armour down. Stay indoors Beneath the floors Talk with neighbours only. The games you play Make people say You're either weird or lonely. A city star Won't shine too far On account of the way you are And the beads Around your face Make you sure to fit back in place. And at the beat of the city drum See how your friends come in twos; Or threes or more. For the sound of a busy place Is fine for a pretty face Who knows what a face is for. The city clown Will soon fall down Without a face to hide in. And he will lose If he won't choose The one he may confide in. Sonny boy With smokes for sale Went to ground with a face so pale And never heard About the change Showed his hand and fell out of range. In the light of a city square Find out the face that's fair Keep it by your side. When the light of the city falls You fly to the city walls Take off with your bride. But at the chime of a city clock Put up your road block Hang on to your crown. For a stone in a tin can Is wealth to the city man Who leaves his armour down. |

Joey will come to while away your hours But she will tell you you're not so good for her She wouldn't be there if it could be that you were. Joey has loved but never shown her tears So she may laugh in the autumn of your years And when you're with her, you'll wonder if it's true All they said of a world without you. Where she may come from Where she may go Who she may run from No one will know Why she was late may trouble you some Still you wait for Joey to come. Joey will come when once more it looks like snow Joey will come when it's really time to go And you may smile when you find that you've been wrong You thought you'd found her but she knew you all along. |

The thoughts of Mary jane Why she flies Or goes out in the rain Where she's been And who she's seen In her journey to the stars. Who can know The reason for her smile What are her dreams When they've journeyed for a mile The way she sings And her brightly coloured rings Make her the princess of the sky. Who can know What happens in her mind Did she come from a strange world And leave her mind behind Her long lost sighs And her brightly coloured eyes Tell her story to the wind. Who can know The thoughts of Mary Jane Why she flies Or goes out in the rain Where she's been And who she's seen In her journey to the stars. |

Mayfair strange in the morning light,
Mayfair strange in the summer night, Mayfair strangest in the afternoon. Mayfair stretching far above, full of fame but lacking love, Could it be we see the Mayfair moon? Mayfair strange across the park, In the day or in the dark, There's no need to walk or even run. Mayfair faces clean and nice, But beauty here is cold as ice, Could it be we see the Mayfair sun? Mayfair strange at every hour, Hidden frowns with mystic power, Starry heights and golden throne, Down below you're on you're own. Mayfair strange for passers-by, Sights of wonder for the eye, Could it be they'll pass by again? Mayfair calling far and near, For even trees are wealthy here, Could it be we hear the Mayfair rain? |

Three hours from London Jacomo's free Taking his woes Down to the sea In search of a lifetime To tell when he's home In search of a story That's never been known. Three hours from speaking Everyone's flown Not wanting to be Seen on their own Three hours is needed To leave from them all Three hours to wonder And three hours to fall.

Who has taken you far from my land Who has said that my sayings were wrong And who will say that I stayed much too long? Clothes of sand have covered yor face Given you meaning but taken my place So make your way on down to the sea Something has taken you so far from me Does it now seem worth all the colour of skies To see the earth through painted eyes To look through panes of shaded glass See the stains of winter's grass Can you now return to from where you came Try to burn your changing name Or with silver spoons and coloured light Will you worship moons in winter's night Clothes of sand have covered your face Given you meaning but taken my place So make your way on down to the sea Something has taken you so far from me |

And a voice from the sea Voice in my neighbourhood And a voice calling me Tell me my friend my friend Tell me with love Where can it end it end Voice from above The sound on the ocean wave And the sound in the tree Sound in a country lane Say you can be free Tell me you crowd you crowd Tell me again Tell me out loud out loud This sound is rain Tune from the hillside And tune full of light A flute in the morning And a chime in the night I know the game again I know the score I know my name my name But this tune is more Voice from the mountain And voice from the sea Voice from in my neighbourhood And a voice calling me Tell me my friend my friend Tell me with love Where can it end it end Voice from above |

Summer was gone and the heat died down
And Autumn reached for her golden crown I looked behind as I heard a sigh But this was the time of no reply. The sun went down and the crowd went home I was left by the roadside all alone I turned to speak as they went by But this was the time of no reply. The time of no reply is calling me to stay There is no hello and no goodbye To leave there is no way. The trees on the hill had nothing to say They would keep their dreams till another day So they stood and thought and wondered why For this was the time of no reply. Time goes by from year to year And no one asks why I am standing here But I have my answer as I look to the sky This is the time of no reply. The time of no reply is calling me to stay There's no hello and no goodbye To leave there is no way. |

So pale and sincere. Underneath you know well You have nothing to fear. For the dreams that came to you when so young Told of a life Where spring is sprung. You would seem so frail In the cold of the night When the armies of emotion Go out to fight. But while the earth sinks to its grave You sail to the sky On the crest of a wave. So forget this cruel world Where I belong I'll just sit and wait And sing my song. And if one day you should see me in the crowd Lend a hand and lift me To your place in the cloud. |

Fame is but a fruit tree
So very unsound. It can never flourish Till its stalk is in the ground. So men of fame Can never find a way Till time has flown Far from their dying day. Forgotten while you're here Remembered for a while A much updated ruin From a much outdated style. Life is but a memory Happened long ago. Theatre full of sadness For a long forgotten show. Seems so easy Just to let it go on by Till you stop and wonder Why you never wondered why. Safe in the womb Of an everlasting night You find the darkness can Give the brightest light. Safe in your place deep in the earth That's when they'll know what you were really worth. Forgotten while you're here Remembered for a while A much updated ruin From a much outdated style. Fame is but a fruit tree So very unsound. It can never flourish Till its stalk is in the ground. So men of fame Can never find a way Till time has flown Far from their dying day. Fruit tree, fruit tree No-one knows you but the rain and the air. Don't you worry They'll stand and stare when you're gone. Fruit tree, fruit tree Open your eyes to another year. They'll all know That you were here when you're gone. |

Don't you have a word to show what may be done
Have you never heard a way to find the sun Tell me all that you may know Show me what you have to show Won't you come and say If you know the way to blue? Have you seen the land living by the breeze Can you understand a light among the trees Tell me all that you may know Show me what you have to show Tell us all today If you know the way to blue? Look through time and find your rhyme Tell us what you find We will wait at your gate Hoping like the blind. Can you now recall all that you have known? Will you never fall When the light has flown? Tell me all that you may know Show me what you have to show Won't you come and say If you know the way to blue? |

A day once dawned, and it was beautiful
A day once dawned from the ground Then the night she fell And the air was beautiful The night she fell all around. So look see the days The endless coloured ways And go play the game that you learnt From the morning. And now we rise And we are everywhere And now we rise from the ground And see she flies And she is everywhere See she flies all around So look see the sights The endless summer nights And go play the game that you learnt From the morning. |

Time has told me
You're a rare rare find A troubled cure For a troubled mind. And time has told me Not to ask for more Someday our ocean Will find its shore. So I`ll leave the ways that are making me be What I really don't want to be Leave the ways that are making me love What I really don't want to love. Time has told me You came with the dawn A soul with no footprint A rose with no thorn. Your tears they tell me There's really no way Of ending your troubles With things you can say. And time will tell you To stay by my side To keep on trying 'til there's no more to hide. So leave the ways that are making you be What you really don't want to be Leave the ways that are making you love What you really don't want to love. Time has told me You're a rare rare find A troubled cure For a troubled mind. And time has told me Not to ask for more For some day our ocean Will find its shore. |

Betty came by on her way
Said she had a word to say About things today And fallen leaves Said she hadn't heard the news Hadn't had the time to choose A way to lose But she believes Going to see the river man Going to tell him all I can About the plan For lilac time If he tells me all he knows About the way his river flows And all night shows In summertime Betty said she prayed today For the sky to blow away Or maybe stay She wasn't sure For when she thought of summer rain Calling for her mind again She lost the pain And stayed for more Going to see the river man Going to tell him all I can About the ban On feeling free If he tells me all he knows About the way his river flows I don't suppose It's meant for me Oh, how they come and go Oh, how they come and go |

Three hours from sundown
Jeremy flies Hoping to keep The sun from his eyes East from the city And down to the cave In search of a master In search of a slave. Three hours from London Jacomo's free Taking his woes Down to the sea In search of a lifetime To tell when he's home In search of a story That's never been known. Three hours from speaking Everyone's flown Not wanting to be Seen on their own Three hours is needed To leave from them all Three hours to wonder And three hours to fall. Three hours from sundown Jeremy flies Hoping to keep The sun from his eyes East from the city And down to the cave In search of a master In search of a slave. |

When the day is done
Down to earth then sinks the sun Along with everything that was lost and won When the day is done. When the day is done Hope so much your race will be all run Then you find you jumped the gun Have to go back where you began When the day is done. When the night is cold Some get by but some get old Just to show life's not made of gold When the night is cold. When the bird has flown Got no-one to call your own Got no place to call your home When the bird has flown. When the game's been fought You speed the ball across the court Lost much sooner than you would have thought Now the game's been fought. When the party's through Seems so very sad for you Didn't do the things you meant to do Now there's no time to start anew Now the party's through. When the day is done Down to earth then sinks the sun Along with everything that was lost and won When the day is done. |

Strange face, with your eyes
So pale and sincere. Underneath you know well You have nothing to fear. For the dreams that came to you when so young Told of a life Where spring is sprung. You would seem so frail In the cold of the night When the armies of emotion Go out to fight. But while the earth sinks to its grave You sail to the sky On the crest of a wave. So forget this cruel world Where I belong I'll just sit and wait And sing my song. And if one day you should see me in the crowd Lend a hand and lift me To your place in the cloud. |

Who can know
The thoughts of Mary jane Why she flies Or goes out in the rain Where she's been And who she's seen In her journey to the stars Who can know The reason for her smile What are her dreams When they've journeyed for a mile The way she sings And her brightly coloured rings Make her the princess of the sky Who can know What happens in her mind Did she come from a strange world And leave her mind behind Her long lost sighs And her brightly coloured eyes Tell her story to the wind Who can know The thoughts of Mary Jane Why she flies Or goes out in the rain Where she's been And who she's seen In her journey to the stars |

Well there was a man who lived in a shed
Spent most of his days out of his head For his shed was rotten let in the rain Said it was enough to drive any man insane When it rained He felt so bad When it snowed he felt just simply sad. Well there was a girl who lived nearby Whenever he saw her he could only simply sigh But she lived in a house so very big and grand For him it seemed like some very distant land So when he called her His shed to mend, She said I'm sorry you'll just have to find a friend. Well this story is not so very new But the man is me, yes and the girl is you So leave your house come into my shed Please stop my world from raining through my head Please don't think I'm not your sort You'll find that sheds are nicer than you thought. |

Fame is but a fruit tree
So very unsound. It can never flourish Till its stalk is in the ground. So men of fame Can never find a way Till time has flown Far from their dying day. Forgotten while you're here Remembered for a while A much updated ruin From a much outdated style. Life is but a memory Happened long ago. Theatre full of sadness For a long forgotten show. Seems so easy Just to let it go on by Till you stop and wonder Why you never wondered why. Safe in the womb Of an everlasting night You find the darkness can Give the brightest light. Safe in your place deep in the earth That's when they'll know what you were really worth. Forgotten while you're here Remembered for a while A much updated ruin From a much outdated style. Fame is but a fruit tree So very unsound. It can never flourish Till its stalk is in the ground. So men of fame Can never find a way Till time has flown Far from their dying day. Fruit tree, fruit tree No-one knows you but the rain and the air. Don't you worry They'll stand and stare when you're gone. Fruit tree, fruit tree Open your eyes to another year. They'll all know That you were here when you're gone. |

Saturday sun came early one morning
In a sky so clear and blue Saturday sun came without warning So no-one knew what to do. Saturday sun brought people and faces That didn't seem much in their day But when I remember those people and places They were really too good in their way. In their way In their way Saturday sun won't come and see me today. Think about stories with reason and rhyme Circling through your brain. And think about people in their season and time Returning again and again And again And again And Saturday's sun has turned to Sunday's rain. So Sunday sat in the Saturday sun And wept for a day gone by. |

When i was younger, younger than before
I never saw the truth hanging from the door And now i'm older see it face to face And now i'm older gotta get up clean the place. And i was green, greener than the hill Where the flowers grew and the sun shone still Now i'm darker than the deepest sea Just hand me down, give me a place to be. And i was strong, strong in the sun I thought i'd see when day is done Now i'm weaker than the palest blue Oh, so weak in this need for you. |

Please beware of them that stare
They'll only smile to see you while Your time away And once you've seen what they have been To win the earth just won't seem worth Your night or your day Who'll hear what i say. Look around you find the ground Is not so far from where you are But not too wise For down below they never grow They're always tired and charms are hired From out of their eyes Never surprise. Take your time and you'll be fine And say a prayer for people there Who live on the floor And if you see what's meant to be Don't name the day or try to say It happened before. Don't be shy you learn to fly And see the sun when day is done If only you see Just what you are beneath a star That came to stay one rainy day In autumn for free Yes, be what you'll be. Please beware of them that stare They'll only smile to see you while Your time away And once you've seen what they have been To win the earth just won't seem worth Your night or your day Who'll hear what i say. Open up the broken cup Let goodly sin and sunshine in Yes that's today. And open wide the hymns you hide You find reknown while people frown At things that you say But say what you'll say About the farmers and the fun And the things behind the sun And the people round your head Who say everything's been said And the movement in your brain Sends you out into the rain. |

Lifting the mask from from a local clown
Feeling down like him Seeing the light in a station bar And travelling far in sin Sailing downstairs to the northern line Watching the shine of the shoes And hearing the trial of the people there Who's to care if they lose. And take a look you may see me on the ground For i am the parasite of this town. Dancing a jig in a church with chimes A sign of the times today And hearing no bell from a steeple tall People all in dismay Falling so far on a silver spoon Making the moon for fun And changing a rope for a size too small People all get hung. Take a look and see me coming through For i am the parasite who travels two by two. When lifting the mask from a local clown And feeling down like him And i'm seeing the light in a station bar And travelling far in sin And i'm sailing downstair to the northern line Watching the shine of the shoes And hearing the trials of the people there Who's to care if they lose. And take a look you may see me on the ground For i am the parasite of this town. And take a look you may see me in the dirt For i am the parasite who hangs from your skirt. |

I care too I see through All of the pictures that you keep on the wall All of the people that will come to the ball But hear me calling Won't you give me A free ride. I know too What you do When you're through Counting the cattle as they go by the door Keeping a carpet that's so thick on the floor But hear me calling Won't you give me A free ride.
