Could almost see her eyes
Is it me she despises or you ? or you, girl? You're awfully nice to me And I'm sure you can see what her game is ? it's me, girl! She sees you in her place Just as if it's a race and you're winning ? me, girl! She just can't undertsand That for me everything's just beginning ? with me, girl! But before this feeling dies Remember that I told you lies... Now I love your eyes ? on me, girl See how the time flies ? past me, girl She's learning to hate But it's just too late for me ? for me, girl It was the same with her love It just wasn't enough for me ? for me, girl But before this feeling dies Remember that I told you lies... |

Tonight I'm full of doubts and fears
Looks like another night of tears You're not here so I can't turn to you Now I know what needing someone really means Yes I do, And I need you It's so hard when you're not here I believe but I still fear It's so hard not knowing where you are Now I know what missing someone really means Yes I do, And I miss you Still don't know just where you are Distances are all too far Are you well or are you crying too? Now I know what loving someone really means Yes I do, And I love you |

Ayers
Another night and I can't sleep I need to cry but I can't weep Feeling that I've lost control Where's my spirit, where's my very soul? What's the future? There's no cheer Feeling too much doubt and fear I hide and run, I run and hide I just can't face the world outside my dreaming Ooh, I'm wide awake and there's you Giving me a shake and it's true Love is what pulls us through It's so good when you're by my side No longer need to run and hide And when I'm dancing, singing along Nothing seems to be so right or wrong Don't you worry, don't you sigh It's not on you that I rely You sing love, I sing along Celebration in this song for you Ooh, I'm wide awake and there's you Giving me a shake and it's true Love is what pulls us through Ooh, I'm wide awake and there's you Giving me a shake and it's true Love is what pulls us through |

Floating on moonlight
With my head on your knee; But, once again, babe I'm thinking about me. And, though we're feeling close And touching, too; You have to admit, babe, You're thinking about you. And, where do the stars end If I'm here all alone? And why am I feeling So far from home? Spoonful of moonlight A bottle of wine Just look at all those stars You're gonna have a good time. Out there in the darkness With the wolf and the owl; Oh, what does it matter If you scream or you howl? And, where do the stars end If I'm here all alone? And why am I feeling So far from home? Love is that stranger Who comes knocking at your door. Gives you a sweet taste Leaves you howling for more. You get that taste You've got to take it; But when you want more (and you will) You're gonna have to make it. And, where do the stars end If I'm here all alone? And why am I feeling So far from home? |

You lie sleeping all warm
I'm here waiting in the storm Waiting for the time to come when I can come in And make sweet love to you till I have to go again. I've been waiting for hours I've been through snowstorms and showers Waiting for the lights to fade and your parents go to sleep Then just like a randy cat into your bed I'll creep. Yes I remember your smell Yes I remember, remember it well Strange kind of animal music in the night Crazy feeling, I just can't explain it right. So I send you these words Let them flutter 'round like birds Times are changed and rearranged but something lingers on I still remember you, that's why I wrote this song. |

Why do I stay here? You're not the one For me Is it because girl You know you say that you need me And you cry when I say When I say that I'll go? And I'm tired Baby, I'm tired by your tears They don't reach my ears anymore No, not anymore |

I'm looking 'round madly
for something to find That might give me a front To put something, something behind. Just bouncing this ball Up and down the hall But it's full of best wishes and suffocating fishes, and all. So, let's drink some wine And have a good time. But if you really want to come through Let the good time, good time have you. It's what you've got to do. You said it was foolish for me to be sad; But I'm very hungry, and you.. You're very well fed, You're such a fat lady. And I'm talking to you just for something to do 'Cause I'd much rather kiss you But I know, I'm gonna miss you Again and again, I know I'm gonna miss you. So, let's drink some wine, etc. I sing to the island That sings in your head 'Cause I know you'd much rather be there Be there instead. I know you'd rather be there... But you won't find the answer Even when the wind blows; 'Cause the answer, my friend is in front.. Right there in front of your nose Everybody knows, it's their nose. So, let's drink some wine, etc. (repeat) |

Some people seem to walk on water Some people just got it made And never see themselves completely Never think there's any other way But you know It's only a show And you reap what you sow In your own way Some people really need attention Just see what they wanna see Never more than their reflection In someone else's fantasy But they know It's only a show And they reap what they sow In their own way A pretty face will find a place It's an easy place to be You're not allowed to change the picture Picture people wanna see But you know You're only a show And you'll reap what you sow In your own way |

As the doors all close
And the wind blows rows And the moonlight flows Nowhere, nowhere, nowhere. As the stars collide And the horsemen glide And my mind just slides Nowhere, nowhere, nowhere. And the streams stream streams And my dreams dream dreams And the question screams Nowhere, nowhere, nowhere. As the dawn warm forms On the well-kept lawns Of the pawns that swarm Nowhere, nowhere, nowhere. And the song returns To a heart that yearns For a flame that burns Nowhere, nowhere, nowhere. |

It catches fire at midnight It leaves the room for doubt But every thing's so well defined There's only one way out And all the girls are on tonight The colored wheels all spin You're more aware than ever before You need a prize to win And all the funfair's will have one That is the usual theme No secret Jack in this box To help the pain within Quiet country roads and trees Birds singing from a cage You understand you just lost one You step outside your rage And what's left to believe in The children in the lake? I didn't see them go under Let's try another take Pass me the bottle, baby One day you'll understand We almost make the same mistakes And hold each other's hands Take this particular shade of gray Just for a change I shout There's nothing in this fairground That couldn't be left out There isn't much left to show you Maybe the tunnel of love Who knows we'll be there forever Just like the stars above |

Today, the town seems like a tomb
Everybody's locked up in his room Making love, or taking love - who cares If you take a walk out in the street Chances are there's someone that you'll meet If it's someone you know you'll say hello and good-bye Today's the very first day of the Spring A little girl's playing on her swing She doesn't know that a brand new show begins Now you come and tell me that you're sad But you never talk about it when you're glad You criticise, and you shut your eyes - that's too bad Banana |

He feels 'round the keyboards Knowing he must find the noisiest notes for you to hear And when I know that he's found them It feels so good... But I still can't see why people listen, instead of doing it themselves But I'm grateful all the same You're very kind and I don't blame you I don't mind if you just watch In fact I'd welcome it, welcome it, welcome it... |

Burning in my brain The flames is cold .... freezing, But it takes away my pain I don't feel any pain No, I don't feel any pain Just sit here listening to the rain tonight No no no you sweet deceiver, you Though it's cold the pain is bright Clearer vision through the night If helps me see that it's alright with me You sweet deceiver you You sweet deceiver you Oh no no no oh, no no you sweet deceiver you Though it's cold it's pain is bright Clearer vision through the night And it helps me see then it's alright with me I've been up all night with a kind of light Burning in my brain I don't feel any pain No, I don't feel any pain I know it's coming back again tonight |

Burning in my brain The flames is cold .... freezing, But it takes away my pain I don't feel any pain No, I don't feel any pain Just sit here listening to the rain tonight No no no you sweet deceiver, you Though it's cold the pain is bright Clearer vision through the night If helps me see that it's alright with me You sweet deceiver you You sweet deceiver you Oh no no no oh, no no you sweet deceiver you Though it's cold it's pain is bright Clearer vision through the night And it helps me see then it's alright with me I've been up all night with a kind of light Burning in my brain I don't feel any pain No, I don't feel any pain I know it's coming back again tonight |

I walked into this bar
And the man refused; He said, "we don't serve strangers In blue suede shoes; We don't give credit, and We don't give way We have to think about what the people might say.. Uh, you know what i mean..." I said, "sure, man" Oh, he gave me a smile that was sickly and wet, And i offered him one of my cigarettes. He took it, afraid that he might appear rude, Then proceeded to sell me some second class food. Nice guy - meet 'em everywhere.. . He said, "my oh my, i have suffered too long, And this cigarette seems to be very strong; I don't make the rules I just get what i take And i guess every rule was made to break. You can take what you like, it won't hurt me Cause i'm just working for the company." From the green cigarette, he took a long drag, And said, "i think i'll pick my travelling bag. I'm tired of cheating, and wasting my head And filling the boss's bags with bread. I want to get out in the sun and rain, And feel the wind on on skin again; The world is large, and i've got time yet. And, by the way, thanks for that cigarette.. Thank you very much." "you know, i feel like a new man Yes i do, i don't know why; I'd just like to say Thank you very much(indeed) It's a beautiful day I think i'll be on my way (right away) I'd just like to say Thank you very much. Yes, i'm getting the hell out of here Yes, i am - bye, bye. That's the end of the message Thank you very much. Bye bye... |

On a railway train to anywhere,
Something happened finally. The driver said he saw no station And we were riding aimlessly. The train was filled with sleeping passengers, Going nowhere for the ride; Spoken whispers filled the carriages No one cared to look outside. Conversation aimed at anyone Bouncing questions off the wall; Except for two excited children. Burning caterpillars in the hall. All at once, I got quite frightened.. Standing up, I gave a shout! "I see a station just in front of me , Stop this train and let me out!" The driver smiled and shook his head for me, "This train don't stop for anyone. And, if you want to leave this railway line, You'll have to jump off on your own. Someone came and gave me sandwiches, Saying that I looked unwell. He took my pulse and he gave it back to me, And then he hit me with his bell. He made a speech to all the passengers, He said "I've been a place today; And anyone who'd care to come with me.. Step outside and walk this way." Inside the seats were warm and comfortable, Outside the train was wild and strange. I said, "Yes, sir, I'd like to come with you, It's really time I made a change." I left my seat and walked up front with him, And he began to push the door. I looked outside, but it nearly blinded me.. I'd never seen such light before. |

What can I give you, girl
Something that you've never had Something that'll make you glad... in your heart. What can I show you, girl Something that you've never seen Yeah, somewhere that you've never been... never been before. What can I tell you Something that you've never heard; Can I find a special word To say what I mean. And, I'm feeling like a million Sparkling stars; Floating in the magic of what you are, 'Cause I'm feeling like a million Sparkling stars; Floating in the magic of what you are. What can I give you, girl, I can give my share of time; That's the only thing that's mine To give. What can I show you, girl, I can show you all I see And if you'll believe in me I won't let you down. What can I tell you, I can tell you anything; But I know I'd rather sing Rather sing the song.

What do you know about nothing people?
You sell yourself so you can buy more What do you care about bluffing people? Does it make you want to try more? We know what you mean We know what you've seen We understand What do you care about bluffing people Throwing sparrows from the treetops What do you care about nothing people? When you're waiting at the bus stop I'm very glad to hear that We understand the sky will be visible soon We understand the sky will be visible soon Soon soon soon you will be obliged to try Soon soon soon to reach your moon and die What do you care about nothing people? You sell yourself so you can buy more What do you care about nothing people? And does it make you want to try more? It's very nice to know Everybody sing now An optimistic future |

This is a song from the bottom of a well
There are things down here I've got to try and tell; It's dark and light at the very same time, The water sometimes seems like wine. I learned some information way down here That might fill your heart and soul with fear; But don't you worry, no don't be afraid ... I'm not in the magical mystery trade. My imagination begins to purr As things don't happen, they just occur. Softly crackling electrical smell, There's something burning at the bottom of this well. Sitting here alone I just have to laugh I see all the universe as a comfortable bath; I drown my body so my mind is free To indulge in pleasurable fantasies. There's something strange going on down here .. A sickening implosion of mistrust and fear. A vast corruption that's about to boil A mixture of greed and the smell of oil. This is a song from the bottom of a well I didn't move here, I just fell. But I'm not complaining, I don't even care 'Cause if I'm not here, then it's not there. |

People say that they want to be free
They look at him and they look at me But it's only themselves they're wanting to see And everybody knows about it We talk all night and we're all turned on Everybody heard him singing his song Telling us all there was work to be done And everyone sung a chorus of I am the walrus Yes Disneyland has come to town Everyone's dressed and standing around Alice is wearing her sexiest gown But she doesn't want you to look at her Beautiful people are queuing to drown They wait for the lifeguard to put on his crown But he's up at the other end of town Trying to talk to the mirror The scientist talks and he knows what he means He sits on the floor and has beautiful dreams Then he gets brought down by a woman who screams But he knows it's only a record… Oh yes it is His brave new girl stops feeding the ants And looks at him with her septic pants She still knows how to make him dance And forget about emancipation… it's just imagination And you and I we sit and hum We know something's got to come And get us off our endless bum There's probably one in the bathroom Or even in the hall |

There must be something in between
My baby whispered with a scream I swear I'll never ever dream again So back into the stream she slips Our magic still between her lips Her step is sure she never trips again I don't know why we still pretend Except to make it to the end And you like me must want a friend somewhere She said that love's a luxury And it was never meant to be A simple thing to share with me at all She said that anything so bright Could never possibly be right And so encourages the night, to win I don't know why we still pretend Except to make it to the end And you like me must need a friend somewhere |

from Kevin Ayers - Didn`T Feel Lonely Till I Thought Of You/ The Island Albums (2005)
Sometimes I get too drunk,
I feel so goddamned low I have no place to go, no one to turn to I think about your loving arms, where I'd like to be But it's selfish as can be, and I know it And if I'm sorry for myself, I'm sorry for you too 'Cause I'm the same as you, and I'm burning So I sing for everyone who feels there's no way out So maybe if you all shout someone will hear you Listen to them shout I won't say that I love you, 'cause that would be a lie I can only say I try, and you know it Love is something more or less than words can hope to say It's something day to day in the life we're living Lovers come and lovers go but friends are hard to find Yes I can count all mine on one finger So I sing for everyone who feels there's no way out So maybe if you all shout someone will hear you Listen to them shout The distance that's between us, it just never seems to change There's a whole mountain range of misunderstanding So I sing for everyone who feels there's no way out So maybe if you all shout someone will hear you Listen to them shout |

How far can anyone go and to where,
How much can anyone do and to who, Oh, oh, oh girl, I'm so blue girl, What can I do? I believe in you. How far can anyone go and to where, How much can anyone do and to who, Oh, oh, oh girl, I'm so blue girl, Take a look around, What's that you've found. There'll come a time when you won't understand the position of, Someone you tried and decided to gain acquisition of. How far can anyone go and to where, How much can anyone do and to who, Oh, oh, oh girl, I'm so blue girl, What can I do? I believe in you. |

You shine a light in my darkness I guess you showed me the way A chance for love to fly again A chance for come what may You brought along the colors When life was turning, turning gray You opened up your paint box And painted the blues away But you're far away, I can't touch you You're far away and it's too much to Feel this way, I've got to be with you But you're far away, I can't touch you You're far away and it's too much to Feel this way, got to be with you You to me are special Can't find the words to say Only that I miss you Miss you in every way But you're far away, I can't touch you You're far away and it's too much to Feel this way, I've got to be with you But you're far away and I can't touch you You're far away and it's too much to Feel this way, I've got to be with you |

You know you can't make it Without tryin' to fake it And I believe, baby You gotta save yourself ? save yourself Don't enslave yourself ? save yourself Just to save yourself ? save yourself Stay in your own bed at night |
