Love me for money or love me for gain
Love me for beauty or love me from shame
Somebody told me it's all just the same, it's all the same
I want to share in your closet affair
So now you're hearing the point of this affair
Yet somebody told me it's going nowhere
It's going nowhere

Once upon a time, not too long ago,
We took a day out in Manchester.
We all fall down,
There's not enough hours in our day.
Played a bit of football, fell into the union,
Barged our way to the toilet.
With the Kung Fu king,
There's not enough hours in our day.
I remember seeing someone, dressed in a suit,
Looking like a lunatic.
And we all fall down,
There's not enough hours in our trip.
Well Academy coffee, is breaking your hands,
We got lovely posters to sell.
We all fall down,
There's not enough hours in our day.
We like lovin' yeah,
And the wine we share.
We like lovin' yeah,
And the wine we share.
Finally made our way back to the train,
Rolling into Sheffield tonight.
And it all falls down,
There's not enough hours in our life.
Try and guess my weight, wait at the station,
Whippin' Piccadilly tonight.
And it all falls down,
There's not enough hours in our life.
We like lovin' yeah,
And the wine we share.

These three sins have finally found me
Lust, ambition and greed
Creeping in the back door they came without warning
And burned whatever they could steal
They've burned whatever they could steal

So please could you go back where you came from again
We don't want to harm ya
We don't want to harm ya
We are not your armour
We're your friends

These three sins have fell from their horses
And taking me and you for a ride
Deliver us from evil when the devil disowned me
The serpents and the snakes will decide
The serpents and the snakes will decide

So please could you go back where you came from again
We don't want to harm ya
We don't want to harm ya
We are not your armour
We're your friends

So please could you go back where you came from again
We don't want to harm ya
We don't want to harm ya
We are not your armour
We're your friends

There it was
Something beautiful
There it was
Something wonderful

Someone lying on my pillow
Someone knocking at my door
Here she comes
Here she comes

There it was
Something beautiful
There it was
Something wonderful

Someone lying on my pillow
Someone knocking at my door
There she was
There she was
There she was
There she was

From the day we arrive on this planet
And blinking, step into the sun
There's more to see than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done

There is far too much to take in here
More to find than can ever be found
But the sun rolling high
Through the sapphire sky
Keeps great and small on the endless round

It's the circle of life
And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the circle
The circle of life

It's the circle of life
And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the circle
The circle of life

A-one, two, three, what you tanglin' with me for?
Believe me, 'cause baby I won't lie.
A-five, six, seven, only girls go to heaven,
If you leave me, then baby I won't die.

'Cause if they say that you're wrong,
Don't cry, you're making it worse.
And if they say that you're wrong,
Don't cry.

A-one, two, three, stop stranglin' me,
I'll keep breathing, don't matter how hard you try.
A-seven, eight, nine, you'll never take me alive,
You could steal me, but babe you could not buy me.

'Cause if they say that you're wrong,
Don't cry, you're making it worse.
And if they say that you're wrong,
Don't cry.

Well if they say that you're wrong,
Don't cry, you're making it worse.
And if they say that you're wrong,
Don't cry.

And if they say that you're wrong,
Don't cry, you're making it worse.
And if they say that you're wrong.

I couldn't tell
The weight of the world was on your shoulders
Couldn't tell you were unhappy
You were unwell

I go along
Like nothing is wrong, no need to worry
Too late to feel sorry
Upon borrowed time

And now there's no answers
No easy way out
Take it all if you want
Take it all if you want

If you know how to run, sweet Virginia, you should run
If you know how to play, sweet Virginia, you should play
If you know how to sing, sweet Virginia, you should sing
If you know how to be, be without me, you should be
You should be

I couldn't see
It seems I don't learn or get the message
Don't know how you carry it
All by your self

How can it be?
It doesn't belong, it's so not funny
This vintage of violence
Again on parade

And now there's no wonder
No shelter from shame
Be alone if you want
Be alone if you want

If you know how to run, sweet Virginia, you should run
If you know how to play, sweet Virginia, you should play
If you know how to sing, sweet Virginia, you should sing
If you know how to be, be without me, you should be
You should be

If you know how to run, sweet Virginia, you should run
If you know how to play, sweet Virginia, you should play

Harry's on the run, he's got good reason
Since he bought a gun, he'll never sleep again
Widow sleeps alone, she never shuts her window
Mandy knows what's fun, she just don't know what's right

Come on, step inside
Come on, step inside, don't walk on by
Step inside
Come on, step inside

Sequins on his shirt, Stevie's up for dancing
Always been a flirt, Carol steps in line
History to the bone, memory to the marrow
Old an' weary man, treads a travelled road

Come on, step inside
Come on, step inside, don't walk on by
Step inside
Come on, step inside

Standing in the sun, trolling cold Maria
A Hare Krishna drum sounds distantly in time
The blood comes off like grime, in the wash hand basin
Just another crime, reason with her

Step inside
Come on, step inside, donm't walk on by
Step inside
Come on, step inside, don't walk on by
Step inside
Come on, step inside

Do you ever stop and wonder
Where you'd be without her

Do you listened, do you listened, do you listened
To what she said to you

The sound of sounds ain't lightning

The whisper, the promise, the solace
Of where you're lead to me
Yeah

The sound of sounds ain't lightning
Yeah

Her sound of sounds ain't lightning

Have you forgotten who you are
(Have you forgotten who you are)
Have you forgotten who you are
(Have you forgotten who you are)

Could you ever stop and wonder
Could you live without her

The sound of sounds ain't lightning
Yeah

The sound of sounds ain't lightning
Yeah

The sound of sounds ain't lightning
Yeah, yeah

So, it's alright now
It's alright now
So settle down
I will be around
God only knows why I'm so mild
But I'm the one who'll be around
When the cat's among the pigeons and the word is getting round
I say it's alright now, it's alright now
It's alright
So, is it alright now?
It's alright now
So settle down
I won't share that frown
When the cat's among the pigeons
And the word is getting round
When the promises are broken
And the premise is unsound
I'll say it's alright now
When the secret's somehow spoken
And they're trying to steal the crown
I'll say it's alright now
It's alright now
It's alright
God only knows just where I'm bound
But I'm the one who'll stay around
When the clowns are tryin' to steal your crown
I'll just say it's alright now
