Aberfeldy

Bear with me baby I'm a little behind
I looked for you
You were uneasy to find
I know where you go
I know what you do
It's a part of me
To be part of you
I said what I did because I meant it at the time

You don't find it easy telling me how you feel
So hard to know what is and isn't for real
I know you where you go
I know what you do
It's not up to me
To keep up with you
I said what I did because I meant it at the time

Oh I love to believe you
I live for your lies
Tell me something else now
To keep me hypnotised

One day you're gonna meet a millionaire
(Meet a millionaire, millionaire)
One day you're gonna want me out of your hair
(Wash you out of my hair, out of my hair)
Don't know where I'll go
(Shut up)
Don't know what I'll do
(Shut up)
If you let me go
If you say we're through
And I said what I did cause I was high all of the time

Oh I love to believe you
I live for your lies
Tell me something else now
To keep me hypnotised

Is it all immaterial,
The things that we say?
When the merest amount of needing
Can blow you away

That's not how you write a love song
That's not how you sing the blues

Let me go on the radio
And tell all the world
That I feel like the king of everything
I'm in love with a girl

I'm not sure about the future
How I'm confused by the news

Forget today
Forget tomorrow
Forgetting everything you know
Let it go

I believe that it's easier
To live in a dream
When we're only a nine day wonder
If you know what I mean

We've got everything we asked for
Just to keep ourselves amused

We're here today
And gone tomorrow
Like icing sugar in the snow
Let it go

well i never thought in my wildest dreams
that anyone could be hung up the way you seem to be
if you were real(?) and the peoples friend
then i'd understand
this impression that you're sending me

don't you know the city can leave me cold
everybody's so determined to be bought and sold
let's get something
out of the way
nobody owns me no matter what they say

but baby, at this moment it seems that you want me
ooh baby, at this moment it seems that you care
oh yeah
ooh baby, at this moment it seems that you want me
oh baby, feels like we're already there
yeah, yeah

it's up to you do what you wanna do
you can tell the truth or not
come on baby, you might as well dance all night
there comes a time in everybody's life when you gotta do or die
oh baby, please don't be uptight

well now, even the strings on a fiddler's bow don't stay uptight forever
baby, don't you know that
one day soon you're gonna have to crack
cause otherwise you're gonna give yourself a heart attack

ooh baby, at this moment it seems that you want me
but baby, don't leave me up in the air
no, no, no, no

it's up to you do what you wanna do
you can tell the truth or not
come on baby, you might as well dance all night
there comes a time in everybody's life when you gotta do or die
oh baby, please don't be uptight
(repeat)

Today I let the bad guy win
It's a thing that just keeps happening
You never thought I'd stoop so low
But there are things that you don't know

What can it be
This feeling coming over me
How can I find
A way to get it off my mind

Well yesterday was such a pain
Tomorrow'll be the same again
I don't want to see my friends
I don't want to make ammends

Don't let it be
That this could be the end of me
It's not coming true
That dream I kept alive for you

When all true trendies know my name
Why would I feel ashamed?

Well we could take this town tonight
But I doubt it would be worth the fight
So all true trendies sail with me
Leave your home and families

Well do it now yeah
Well do it now woah
When all true trendies know my name
Why would I feel ashamed?

I've got a bone to pick with you
I've got a bone to pick with you
Why do you do these things that you do?

I've got a bonnet with a bee inside
I've got a bonnet with a bee inside
Why do you run when you know that you can't hide?

You've got no money and you have no respect
In spite of everything your life is a wreck
And you have nothing but our heart to dissect
It's all about words with you
It's all about words with you
It's all about words with you

Something deep within you has been crying out for release
How can you continue to contain this haunting beast?

Something deep within you has been crying out for release
How can you continue to contain this haunting beast?

Your poetry's setting this city aflame
It'll never go out it's a terrible shame
Oh you must believe me cause I ain't no liar
Your poetry's setting this city on fire

Your poetry's setting this city aflame
(Something deep within you has been crying out for release)
It'll never go out it's a terrible shame
(How can you continue to contain this haunting beast?)
Oh you must believe me cause I ain't no liar
(Something deep within you has been crying out for release)
Your poetry's setting this city on fire
(How can you continue to contain this haunting beast?)

Take a look around you
Tell me what you see
An awful lot of famous people
Less talented than me

I want to get a name now
I'm eager to achieve
And I wasn't born yesterday
So you better believe

That I'll never give up now
It's too late to stop now
No matter what you think of me
I still believe in me
Never give up no!
Not till I drop
Down on my knees

Never give up now, you can never give up now

The talent I was given
To keep it inside
Would be criminally wrong now it's impossible to hide
I'm gonna get an agent
I'm gonna get in
Could some who'll arrange it
'Cos I know that I can win

I'll never give up, no
It's too late to stop now
No matter what you say to me
I still believe in dreams
Never give up no!
Not till I drop
Down upon my knees

Never give up now, you can never give up now

You'd have to steal, cheat or
Lie your way from the bottom
All the way to the top
Bribery buys your way every night and day
You can never give up

Well look at all the fools now
Queing in line
They ain't getting anywhere
But bless them all for trying

I'll never give up, no
It's too late to stop now
No matter how you put me down
Stick around now
Never give up no!
Not till I drop
Down upon my knees

Never give up now, you can never give up now

Well think of all the time you spend
Trying to emulate you friends
Are you happy that depends
On whatever turns you on

The government, the men in blue
Are keen to hang a sign on you, your friends
No matter what you do
Do whatever turns you on
Do whatever turns you on
Do whatever turns you on

There's no black and white they say
There's only different shades of grey
And you can change them any way
Do whatever turns you on

I believe that it's a sin
The brainless state they keep us in
The only way for you to win
Stick to whatever turns you on
Do whatever turns you on

As though the days of laws and orders
And obeying them are gone
Come on
Do whatever turns you on

Do whatever turns you on
Do whatever turns you on
Do whatever turns you on

Well life won't always hold in store
All you want and what is more
But everyday's an open door
Do whatever turns you on
Do whatever turns you on

As though the days of laws and orders
And obeying them are gone
Come on
Do whatever turns you on
Do whatever turns you on

Well you're mean to me like a woman can be and
You're a let down
Spend my money
Like you think it's funny
What a let down

Oh finally I see
What's in this for me

When I've been sleeping and
You've been creeping
What a let down
There's no reaction
No fatal attraction
Just a let down

Girl, take my advice
Next time think twice
Think twice

Ooh what a fool I am
To think you'd give a damn
My handsome dignity
You've taken that away from me

Well lucky you
With your sky so blue
But I've been let down
Better for me
on my hands, my knees
I've been let down

Oh baby can't you see
The world's so down on me
Down on me

I'm a butcher and a barber
And I live down by the sea
Waiting at the harbour for the ships to come to me
Take all they can offer and they'll leave eventually
And they don't return
And I never learn

You can lose your grip by degrees
Thin yourself
Misery
The fact we got from A to B
That's good enough for me

You're a barber and a butcher too
You know the way I feel
With eyes upon the future
As the past has no appeal
This is all that's left for us
What happened to the deal?
What a sting
What a burn
Do I never learn?

You can loose your grip the angry way
Got to strip some layers away
I got it wrong but I can get it right
Just turn me towards the light
Like a flower about to bloom
You must protect me
Give me room

I failed to understand you
Must you make such fuss
Too late to take the tiller
On this course we can't adjust
Time will take a hull from you
And turn it into rust
From bow to stern

But we can get a grip
What do you say?
And we could sail this ship away
We can sing a song
Win the fight
Just turn me towards the light
Like a flower about to bloom
You must protect me
Give me room

I love everyone
Everybody underneath the sun
I think you're all the most amazing fun

When I'm very high, I can't help but wonder why
You gotta be such a butterfly
Oh well, I don't mind when you land on me
I just wish you'd stop fluttering your butter..
Or what may seem...

Back when you were young
You ran around with every mother's son
I can't believe half of the things you've done

I know cause I'm the same
I threw a lot of what I was away
And I'm all confused today
And I'll take anything you hand to me,
If I don't know any better than you I will agree...

With a friend like you, baby, what would I do?
I think about it all of the time
Till we stick like glue, when it's easy to do
Or do I wait until you've made up your mind?
Can I wait until you've made up your mind?

Girl one thing I know
Until the day that you let me go
I'm gonna let my loving flow
Like wine and water out of Jesus' jug
And all that rubbish that you talk on drugs

With a friend like you, baby, what would I do?
I think about it all of the time
Till we stick like glue, when it's easy to do
Or do I wait until you've made up your mind?

With a friend like me, girl, it's easy to see
Things'll go wrong all the time
But if little by little, we could meet in the middle
I'll be yours, and baby you will be mine
And now I'll wait until you've made up your mind...

I'm an open book
That you can take a look
There's nothing I have found
Could slow my yo-yo down

Don't you slow me down
I could be seeing stars
I could be behind bars
I could be in the ground
So don't you slow me down
Don't ever slow me down

I know the sky is blue
And I'll fall for you
I know the world is round
Don't ever slow me down

Don't slow me down, slow me down
Don't slow me down, slow me down

The way you smile at me
The way you let it be
The way you never frown
The way you slow me down
Don't you slow me down

Don't slow me down, slow me down
Don't slow me down, slow me down

Cause there's a side of me
That you could never see,
That no one's ever found
Don't ever slow me down

I know the sky is blue, and I'll fall for you
I know the world is round
Don't ever slow me down

Don't show me nothing's what it seems
Can't throw my arms around a dream
Yeah yeah

There's a side of me
That you will never see
That no one's ever found
Don't ever slow me down

We got a world to win
We'll get it back again
I cannot mess around
Don't ever slow me down
Don't ever slow me down

Love is a thing that I can't describe
It sounds so foolish if I even try
Love is an arrow and it points at you
It tells you what you gotta do

Love is a verb and a noun as well
You find it in a dictionary under 'L'
To give you a description to spell it out
But they don't say what it's all about

Love is a fire that you can't control
It burns in the middle and it leaves a hole
You can fill it up and you don't know when
It's gonna start to burn again

Love is a good way to lose a friend
It's a two-faced liar that you can't defend
Love is a virus that invades your heart
It starts to take it all apart

Love is a shape that you can't define
With an odd set of angles and uneven sides
your head's that paper and your hearts the pen
Gonna do this sum again
Gonna do this sum again
Gonna do this sum again
Do this sum again

Love is a verb and a noun as well
You find it in the dictionary under 'L'
Love is an arrow and it points at me
It tells me how it's gonna be
It tells me how it's gonna be
It tells me how it's gonna be
It tells me how it's gonna be

I always used to have someone to come home to
But knowing there is no one waiting's frustrating
How I miss the love she gave me
I need her to come and save me from myself

All the love in the world
Could never be enough for her
I'm so lonely, now she's gone
All I do is tie one on

The love we had that once was cherished is perished
There ain't no part of me she wants to hold on to
I feel as though I can't go on
I can't believe she's really gone away from me

All the love in the world
Could never be enough for her
You find me sleeping on the lawn
Cause I've been and tied one on

But if I could get her on my own, I'd be alright
That's when I know she's mine

The love we had that once was sacred is wasted
I never even knew her reasons for leaving
Now every day I do the same thing
I become so uncomplaining, don't know why

All the love in the world
Could never be enough for her
I'm so lonely, now she's gone
All I do is tie one on

Oh all the love in the world
Could never be enough for her
You find me sleeping on the lawn
Cause I've been and tied one on

One two, one two three
Well, we get along
Yeah we really do
And there's nothing wrong
With what I feel for you
I could go with you, you, you
If you want me to
I could hang around
Till the leaves are brown
And the summer's gone

What a silly thing
For me to say to you
As the spring begins
To begin with you
And I know that it's hard, hard, hard
When the leaves are brown
And they're falling down
And the summer's gone

And I can't wait anymore for you
Spent the weekend, you've given me nothing
I can't wait anymore for you
The feeling's strong, but the summer's gone

But I won't give up
And I won't give in
And I know it's tough
But I ain't a win
And I couldn't get away from you
Even if I wanted to
So I hang around
Till the leaves are brown
And the summer's gone

And I can't wait anymore for you
Spent the weekend, you've given me nothing
I can't wait anymore for you
The feeling's strong, but the summer's gone

And I can't wait anymore for you
Spent the weekend, you've given me nothing
I can't wait anymore for you
The feeling's strong, but the summer's gone

And I can't wait anymore for you
I can't wait anymore for you
I can't wait anymore for you
The feeling's strong, but the summer's gone

I can't wait anymore for you
I can't wait anymore for you
I can't wait anymore for you
The feeling's strong, but the summer's gone

What I've got to do
What I've got to see
It was only you, and it was only me
And I know that it's hard, hard, hard
And I Know that it's hard
And the leaves are brown
And they're falling down
And the summer's gone

And I can't wait anymore for you
Spent the weekend, you've given me nothing
I can't wait anymore for you
The feeling's strong, but the summer's gone

And I can't wait anymore for you
Spent the weekend, you've given me nothing
I can't wait anymore for you
The feeling's strong, but the summer's gone

You recall when he hated me
And pretended that he didn't see
And he glanced a cast in your direction
And you did it for your own protection

Like the way that you shell the peas
Only wish you were shelling me
Like the way that you dance when you're in the kitchen
Bodies rockin' and your moves are bitchin'

Been a regular for so long
But you treat me like there's something wrong
When I let you know you are looking lovely
Tell me is it really awful of me

Got the touch when you're making tea, yeah
Only wish that you'd taken me
Ooh like spring time takes the winter
The only thing I ever get is splinters

From your chair in your vegetarian restaurant
Ooh your vegetarian restaurant
Your everywhere in your vegetarian restaurant
Ooh your vegetarian restaurant

Don't you know I'm dying deep inside
This restaurant is all I want
So keep it all beside, yeah

I don't cry a lot, it's true
When I do, I do it over you
There's times I can't believe you're even human
Sweet and modest and as unassuming
As the tableware in your vegetarian restaurant
Ooh your vegetarian restaurant

Come on people, what's the matter with you?
The few got many and the many few.
Keep on acting in the way that we do,
We won't have anything left to lose.

La la la la
La la la la

Come on baby, why we taking so long?
There's so many things that could still go wrong.
You were hungry and nobody cared,
But when I'm with you baby I'm a millionaire,

And we'll be young forever
Glued to your side
We'll live together,
And never be denied

Young forever, yeah
Be glued to your side
We'll be forever,
And we'll never be denied

Surly girl, you got all the glamour in the world
But you make my toes and fingers curl
The way you smile, as though it's going out of style

You're a funny one, should be having lots of fun
But you're dwelling on the things you've done
There in the past, believe me girl, it doesn't last

Artists and philosophers tried to run away with her
For their love, she couldn't care
She's waiting for a millionaire

I watch you dear, count the Gypsies, spin the wheel
But tell me that you never feel a little sad
To think of what you could have had

Artists and philosophers tried to fire into her
This girl is tearing out her hair
Waiting for a millionaire

I understand, you've found yourself a wealthy man
He got you eating from his hand
And now you know exactly where the money goes

But they brought you in, made you tell a tale on him
There was no way that you could win
It's just a question of when, gonna see your face in the papers again

Artists and philosophers tried to win the heart of her
They're up here, but she's down there
Waiting for a millionaire

One day I was sleeping and I was taken high
Through the veil of darkness that is stretched across the sky
And though I could see nothing I heard a voice say this:
"Interflight coordinates for Heliopolis"

Beautiful unusual sight
Helioplis by night
Bathed in gold and shimering light
Helioplis by night

Sent me for the first time to the place they call their home
Words could not describe to you the things that I was shown
And though I was so far away not one thing did I miss
Safe among my friends in golden Heliopolis

(Danced all night)

Beautiful unusual sight
Helioplis by night
Bathed in gold and shimering light
Helioplis by night

Beautiful unusual sight
Helioplis by night
Everything will be alright
Helioplis by night

And the reason why they took me was something I never learnt
My body lay there sleeping when I finally returned
And the lover who I left behind woke me with a kiss
And asked where I had been; I answered "Heliopolis."

Something I must tell you,
Must believe it's true,
There is nothing in the world
as beautiful as you

Oh little girl, misunderstood,
The finest wine and the finest food,
I'll build you your own Hollywood,
Do it all for you
Do it all for you

Got something I must tell you,
Must believe it's true,
There is nothing in this world,
I wouldn't do for you

Oh limousines, private jets
Haven't seen Vegas yet,
All the best that you can get,
Do it all for you
Do it all for you

Got something I must tell you,
Must believe it's true,
There is nothing in this world,
I wouldn't do for you

Got something I must tell you,
Must believe it's true,
There is nothing in this world,
I wouldn't do for you

Well we had a good thing going,
Shoulda kept it going on,
Nothing would go bad for us,
Nothing would go wrong

But I saw the look you gave him,
I saw him fall for you,
And I saw him get to know you,
There was nothing I could do
Nothing I could do

Got something I must tell you

So sad you're leaving
You're sorry too
But there's no point in grieving
What good does it do?

Time and time
I've tried to make you change your mind
Cared so much about you
Girl, my love is blind

My love is blind, girl
It's deaf and it's dumb
You treat me unkind, girl
I'm under your thumb

I was thinking of a place
I never told you of
That's the type of thing that happens
When you're out of love

For the first time
And maybe the last
No hope for the future
And none in the past

So I sit in my bedroom
Stare at the wall
Find myself wondering
What's the point of it all

Find it hard to think of how to spend the day
Ever since the one I love has gone away

Time and time
I've tried to make you change your mind
Cared so much about you
Girl, my love is blind
