A simple scent of summer stole my heart for the last dance The smell of two-stroke petrol from a motorbike we used to have Those playing fields of cut grass you know high school left me kind of blue Now with every sweet summer breeze I'll be thinking of you
Now I'm waiting for the sunset borderline Every suns gotta set with time But I'll remember those moments for evermore As the days where nothing had changed at all.
Found a long lost picture of the car we used to run Cotton candy coloured paintwork looked so faded in the sun And that 6 o clock sunrise you always used to drive me to Guess that long lost picture will always have me thinking, have me thinking of you
Now I'm waiting for the sunset borderline Every suns gotta set with time But I'll remember those moments for evermore As the days where nothing had changed at all.
So for every little sad sweet love song that's ever sung, I'll be thinking And for every lost summers day that ever been and gone, I'll be thinking I wonder if your gonna be the tear that follows me, Until that sun is set I guess I'll always be
Waiting for the sunset borderline Every suns gotta set with time But I'll remember those moments for evermore As the days where nothing had changed at all.
Turned into the radio flicking through the stations one by one Tried to listen through the rain while Humming those melodies alone I remember how you told me lennon & mccartney Always pulled you through So as the music fades out I'll be thinking, I'll be thinking of you
I remember Sundays at the Harbour Bar Drinking cider wishing on a cheap guitar Playing songs from the sixties and the seventies Fleetwood Mac the Eagles and the Bee Gees And we would dazzle and dance under the moonlight Love up the bar and drink until the moonlight You were all rebels you were all stars You put the music in everybody's hearts
It was such a long time ago But I never want t let that go When I close my eyes I still remember I still remember those times.
Send a message all over the world I really want you to know That people are falling in love To the music on the radio And I wouldn't be all that I am So understand I want the world to know that you put music in my soul.
I remember Sundays in the freezing barn Huddled round heater trying to keep everybody Warm We were just rebels we were just stars Trying to put the music in everybody's hearts
It was such a long time ago But I never want t let that go When I close my eyes I still remember I still remember those times.
Send a message all over the world I really want you to know That people are falling in love To the music on the radio And I wouldn't be all that I am So understand I want the world to know that you put music in my soul
Street lights ablaze and the air is so dry There's a cat in my bucket smoke covers the sky And the sound of the traffic keeps me from my dreams Like one million soldiers just shuffled their feet
The heat of the night is one that I can't escape So I listen to the underground rumble and shake There's something so beautiful being alive When your young wild and free And just trying to survive.
So hold me I believe every word that you told me And every last line that you sold me I'll love you for the rest of my life Take me turn me around and you'll make me Follow the footsteps you gave me In the Pink and the Lily tonight.
Freedoms a luxury taken in vain It's hard to find justice and fight for a change Cos there's so many people that cannot be heard Their thoughts and their feelings just kicked to the curb
I may not be old and I may not be wise But I call upon those with a chance in this life Climb to the rooftops and open your eyes Cos your young wild and free and just trying to survive.
So hold me I believe every word that you told me And every last line that you sold me I'll love you for the rest of my life Take me turn me around and you'll make me Follow the footsteps you gave me In the Pink and the Lily tonight. Follow the footsteps you gave me In the Pink and the Lily tonight. Follow the footsteps you gave me In the Pink and the Lily tonight.

Born to entertain us back in 1925 So beautiful and strong enough to bring their dreams alive Always thought it would last forever And be the greatest thing they'd ever seen With a heart like Judy Garland And a the soul of Jimmy Dean
And while the world was growing He was so gone with the wind That the future they were building Didn't have a room for him And now the buildings scrape the skyline And the stars no longer shine Cause nothing lasts forever in the changing times
Oh so long and fare thee well A thousand stories he could tell Brick by brick they pulled him down The last picture house in town
The crowds grew smaller though the years While the candy girls left town The projector slowly gathered dust While the house came tumbling down
And at the final curtain calling He knew a golden age had passed Cause the lights had finally fallen And the dreams they didn't last Cause now the buildings scrape the skyline And the stars no longer shine Cause nothing lasts forever in the changing times
Oh so long and fare thee well A thousand stories he could tell Brick by brick they pulled him down The last picture house in town
Gene Kelly went singing for the last time in the rain And one more kiss with Betty Davies before the final frame And as the lights inside the ticket box go fading away It was the last movie the picture house would play
Oh so long and fare thee well A thousand stories he could tell But brick by brick they pulled him down The last picture house in town.
Would you lie would you lie lie lie in these lonely arms of mine I wanna try I will try try try for this love one more time Don't wanna lose you to the stars I wish I'd told you from the start Not to listen to my ungrateful heart.
Baby give me one more chance And I will shoot down the moon for you Darling you're my sweet romance There's nothing that I wouldn't do.
So when you cry when you cry cry cry let me shoulder your tears I'm gonna try I will try try try to hold on through the years Don't wanna loose you to the stars I wish I'd told you from the start Not to listen to my ungrateful heart.
Baby, give me one more chance And I will shoot down the moon for you Darling, give me one last dance And maybe our love can be true.
Would you lie would you lie lie lie in these lonely arms of mine I wanna try I will try try try for this love one more time Don't wanna loose you to the stars And it's tearing me apart Cos you listened to my ungrateful heart You listened to my ungrateful heart Oh you listened to my ungrateful heart.
Caught in the gridlock nose to tail across all lanes Smog nearly chocking me as the car horns go insane Patiently waiting to get their old jobs backs Carrying the human race proudly on their backs
How easily forgotten, How easily we're led How hard the path is trodden From when horsepower meant what it said
I've got a hundred horses hidden in between my wheels But i can't put my foot down and jumped the fences in the field Patiently waiting to get their old jobs back
How easily forgotten, How easily we're led How hard the path is trodden From when horsepower meant what it said
And if we're keeping up with progress why am i standing still Maybe we should take a walk and talk to the horses on the hill
How easily forgotten, How easily we're led How hard the path is trodden From when horsepower meant what it said
How hard the path is trodden From when horsepower meant what it said
Chorus: Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair In 77 and 69 revolution was in the air I was born too late and to a world that doesn't care Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
When the head of state didn't play guitar, Not everybody drove a car, When music really mattered and when radio was king, When accountants didn't have control And the media couldn't buy your soul And computers were still scary and we didn’t know everything
Chorus
When popstars still remained a myth And ignorance could still be bliss And when God Saved the Queen she turned a whiter shade of pale When my mom and dad were in their teens and anarchy was still a dream and the only way to stay in touch was a letter in the mail
Chorus
When record shops were still on top and vinyl was all that they stocked
and the super info highway was still drifting out in space kids were wearing hand me downs, and playing games meant kick arounds and footballers still had long hair and dirt across their face
Chorus
I was born too late to a world that doesn't care Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
Sometimes I see her down by the river The water dances on her skin She can captivate you with her eyes But she never lets you in In the dark she lingers Like a tear without a soul
And I what a lonely girl Trying to find her way In this mixed up messed up world And I see so many faces just like her So many broken hearts in the world And I what a lonely what a lonely girl
He said lately she's been watching the weather The weather doesn't know what to do 'cause sometimes when its cold outside That's when she's feeling blue But I see through her sadness deep within her soul All she's wants to have is someone she can love to make whole
And I what a lonely girl Trying to find her way In this mixed up messed up world And I see so many faces just like her So many broken hearts in the world And I what a lonely what a lonely girl
Isn't it regrettable' Oh isn't it regrettable She finds sweet love and then she lets it go And I see so many faces just like her So many broken hearts in the world And I what a lonely what a lonely day
And I what a lonely girl Trying to find her way In this mixed up messed up world And I see so many faces just like her So many broken hearts in the world And I what a lonely what a lonely girl
I used to see a ballerina staring back at me A beauty queen a singing star was all I longed to be I'd dress up in my mother's clothes and dance the days away When nothing was torn and tattered broken or frayed.
I used to see an astronaut flying through the clouds And in that look of innocence nothing brought you down And everything was possible in the frame of a mirror And every dream was coming true when you wished it down the river.
But they don't make mirrors like they used to Cos they tell me the truth that I'm living truth No they don't make mirrors like they used to Cos when I look in one now I see everything's changed somehow.
I used to love the boy next door he loved me from afar With his ripped up jeans his long died hair and his battered old guitar He never did make Kurt Cobain he's happy with his babies I guess love stood the test of time cos he still drives me crazy.
But they don't make mirrors like they used to Cos they tell me the truth that I'm living truth No they don't make mirrors like they used to Cos when I look in one now I see everything's changed somehow
Nothings the same and it all gets re-arranged As you go where life will lead you too And the books always open the circle is un-broken And they don't make mirrors like they used too
No they don't make mirrors like they used to Cos they tell me the truth that I'm living truth They don't make mirrors like they used to Cos when I look in one now I see everything's changed somehow When I look in one now I see everything's changed somehow
Some things are meant to be the way they're gonna be 'Cos you can't stop time or change history Sometimes all you saw were the things you wanted to see if you be lookin for the answer you would have to go to me 'Cos now you've only got a moment boy To get it right to get it right to get it right to get it right
So if you really wanted me you'd show me how 'Cos I'm your little remedy if you take me now Oh if you really wanted me you'd show me how 'Cos I'm your little remedy if you take me now
Some things in this life, they just pass you by But they're gone forever in the blink of an eye This time you gotta do what you always had to do So open up your heart and show me that you're true 'Cos now you've only got a moment boy To get it right to get it right to get it right to get it right
'Cos if you really wanted me you'd show me how 'Cos I'm your little remedy if you take me now Oh If you really wanted me you'd show me how 'Cos I'm your little remedy if you take me now Oh If you really wanted me you'd show me how 'Cos I'm your little remedy if you take me now Oh If you really wanted me you'd show me how 'Cos I'm your little remedy if you take me now
Just now the minutes keep ticking past So if you think that our love's gonna last 'Cos now you've only got a moment boy To get it right to get it right to get it right to get it right
So if you really wanted me you'd show me how 'Cos I'm your little remedy if you take me now Oh If you really wanted me you'd show me how 'Cos I'm your little remedy if you take me now Oh If you really wanted me you'd show me how 'Cos I'm your little remedy if you take me now Oh If you really wanted me you'd show me how 'Cos I'm your little remedy if you take me now If you take me now If you take me now Yes take me now If you take me now So take me now
I'm just skimming stones against the lake While my dreams pass me by I've never known what to make of life But I guess I'm willing to try
Sometimes it's better sometimes it's worse Sometimes it heals sometimes it hurts....
So hail to the morning wherever it dawns down on me It's now that I get to thinking Some castles lie way beneath the sea.
You always said that it would be such a long summer And now its here and I can break the ice on this cold water
Sometimes it's better sometimes it's worse Sometimes it heals sometimes it hurts....
So hail to the morning wherever it dawns down on me It's now that I get to thinking Some castles lie way beneath the sea.
So hail to the morning wherever it dawns down on me It's now that I get to thinking that life's a mystery So long live the moonlight wherever it shines down on me With the strength to part the ocean
You'll take me on a journey And be there till the end It won't be an uphill struggle On you I can depend
You promised me a dream home With roses round the door You'll cover me in diamonds There's nothing I want more And You'll be strong And you'll turn me on But I've got my doubts and what if I'm right? You'll be true and be faithful too But I've got my doubts and what if I'm right? What if I'm right?
'cos if the rain starts falling You'll protect me with your coat And you'll always tape the football And let me watch my soap
You'll always be as handsome And your weight will never gain And when I give birth to our children I will feel no pain And You'll bring me flowers And you'll bring the showers But I've got my doubts and what if I'm right? You'll say I'm thin and bring the washing in But I've got my doubts and what if I'm right? What if I'm right?
You'll always keep the magic The tender love and care And when you need to change the light bulb You wont hand me the chair And when we're tired of the city And we find a country home You'll sell your vinyl records And go get us a loan
You'll be my sympathetic lover And won't steal the covers But I've got my doubts and what if I'm right? You won't forsake me Your mother won't hate me But I've got my doubts and what if I'm right? You'll be strong And you'll turn me on But I've got my doubts and what if I'm right? You'll be true And be faithful too But I've got my doubts and what if I'm right?
Some of us are reaching for stardust Some of us are digging for gold But it won't mean a lot on a mountaintop When the wind reaches out for your soul Some of us stand in the spotlight Waiting for a round of applause When the people go home and you're left all alone To face the sadness behind closed doors I don't want the sun don't want you to run Don't want superman don't need wonderland Just want you to love me Some of us want silver linings To be the belle of the ball Going down in a blaze of glory The story means nothing at all I don't want the sun don't want you to run Don't want superman don't need wonderland Just want you to love me I don't want the stars or venus or mars Don't want superman don't need wonderland Just want you to love me just want you to love me Don't want superman don't need wonderland Just want you to love me
Walter the war hero he's there from opening till time, time, time There's Mary the housewife who's slumped at the bar drinkin' wine, wine, wine
They get Kylie on a wednesday, the Stones on a friday, bob to the Beatles on a saturday night He's Dylan on a monday and Bowie on a sunday, does Beegees on a thursday as high as a kite
And they call him the human jukebox, he plays second-hand rock n' roll And they call him the human jukebox, yet only he's healing hearts with his soul
Skyvers with fivers shine up their shoes for the show, show, show and they all sing along to the songs till it's time please to go, go, go
They get Kylie on a wednesday, the Stones on a friday, bob to the Beatles on a saturday night He's Dylan on a monday and Bowie on a sunday, does Elton on a thursday if you lend him your tights
And they call him the human jukebox, he plays second-hand rock n' roll And they call him the human jukebox, yet only he's healing hearts with his soul
They're karaoke kings for the evening, it's their only real shining time, and if you ever stop believin', and the real world gets you down
Go see the human jukebox, he plays second-hand rock n' roll Yeah they call him the human jukebox, yet only he's healing hearts with his soul
Yeah they call him the human jukebox, he plays second-hand rock n' roll Yeah they call him the human jukebox, yet only he's healing hearts with his soul
Roller skates and bumblebees Holding hands and grazing knees Dressing up and falling down Paul and mike are coming round
Being good to stay up late Forget to shut the garden gate Built a house up in a tree Been making plans since I was three
Time catches everyone And the world goes round the sun And the memory lives on in my heart Going back to the start
Skiving french and stealing mars Hanging out in rosie's bar Getting changed straight after school Smoking fags and playing pool
Rainbow coming over me But I like graham connelly Getting caught in someone's car This time kid you've gone too far
Time catches everyone And the world goes round the sun But the memory lives on in my heart Going back to the start Forever forever forever
Up and down to liverpool Learning lines to play the fool Hanging out at hannah's bar Got too drunk to drive the car
Even though I'd love to stay It's time to work not to time to play And even though you're now for me Soon you'll be a memory
Time catches everyone And the world goes round the sun And the memory lives on in my heart Time catches everyone And the world goes round the sun And the memory lives on in my heart Going back to the start Forever forever forever
Help me get my feet back to solid ground Cos were walking to the devils beat And it's trying to bring us down.
Well the devils get us rolling a 6-sided dice And it's burning up the oils and melting down the ice And the bank tills are ringing to the tune of war Do you ever wonder what it is were fighting for?
Oh it dont's feel so good when the sun don't shine Oh we gotta leave this place leave it all behind Oh before I loose my head and I loose my mind
Help me get my feet back to solid ground Cos were walking to the devils beat And it's trying to bring us down.
Oh~ Sweet mother nature's such a lonely girl What's she gonna do when we selll the world Time will only tell if the prophecies true Has the devil got the beat or has the beat got you.
Oh it dont's feel so good when the sun don't shine Oh we gotta leave this place leave it all behind Oh before I loose my head and I loose my mind
Help me get my feet back to solid ground Cos were walking to the devils beat And it's trying to bring us down Come on and help me get my feet back to solid ground Cos were walking to the devils beat And it's trying to bring us down
