Horrible Histories | Work, Terrible Work | /h/horrible+histories/work+terrible+work_20915264.html | In good old Queen Victoria's day
Industrial revolution
Bosses said 'Please, we need more employees'
We needed a solution
Who will climb our chimneys?
Who will power our grids?
Victorian families to desperately poor
They'll let us employ their kids for
Work, terible work
From very young ages
Up chimneys to clean
Paid pitiful wages
Work, terrible work
Pins make you work faster
If we grow too big
Get sacked by the master!
Now you're all in my employ
Cleaning in the factory
We're not very strong
And the hours are long
This work is unsatisfactory!
There not to get caught in spokes
Or trap our hands in gages
To stop machines and get you out
Will cost you a week's wages!
Work, terrible work
There's no health and safety
So if we get hurt
They will just replace me
Work, terrible work
Now that I am short of cash
I have to pick pockets
Wallets from gentlemen
And lady's lockets
Small enough to get away
Hardly ever caught
And if we are, we're kids you see
To cry is what we're taught
Work, terrible work
Dangerous and demeaning
No time to complain
Get back to your cleaning
Work, terrible work
Guess what we are dreaming
School, glorious school!
Wonderful school!
Marvellous school!
Wish we went to school!

Housemartins | Anxious | /h/housemartins/anxious_20066072.html | I was walking by the river, I was asking myself questions
But the answers I came up with didn't fit
Some have breakfast in bed some aren't properly fed
The way they talk about it makes me want to spit
And they're raising all their eyebrows at the raising of the pound
Whilst they raise another city to the ground
And we're opening the doors and walking 'round on all fours
Looking for a sense in lost and found
Anxious, Don't they know it is wrong, it makes me anxious
Anxious, Don't they know it is wrong, it makes me anxious
I really thought I'd have my tongue ties if I stood up to shout
But all they did was listen without their ears
And I thought I'd be beheaded if I stuck my neck out
But they just gave me a hanky for my tears
I have confidence in confidence, I hope that hope pulls me through
But I think a little more is needed now
We've got to form a congregation and sink down the nation
Batter all the sinners to the ground
Anxious, Don't they know it is wrong, it makes me anxious
Anxious, Don't they know it is wrong, it makes me anxious
Anxious, Don't they know it is wrong, it makes me anxious
Anxious, Don't they know it is wrong, it makes me anxious

Housemartins | Bow Down | /h/housemartins/bow+down_20066084.html | Mother, Father, I think that I would rather
Stay at home with you for another year
That building's so tall and it makes me feel so small
That I might get lost and simply disappear
Evil smiles won't change my mind
I'm worried and I'm not the worrying kind
Why's that man rubbing his hands
Looking at me writing down his plans?
Today I have been molding plasticine
and I made a little man who looked just like me
His limbs were so weak and he couldn't move his mouth to speak
And I could bend him into any shape I wanted him to be
Evil smiles won't change my mind
I'm worried and I'm not the worrying kind
Why's that man rubbing his hands
Looking at me writing down his plans?
Those kids with the blazers on
They went in with names on their elbows
Came home with medals on
Spit it out that's the way the story goes
A flying start for the briefcase crew
Oh, you didn't have to teach me like you did
But you did
And you didn't have to beat me like you did
But you did
But you did
You did
You did

Housemartins | Flag Day | /h/housemartins/flag+day_20066073.html | Too many Florence Nightingales
Not enough Robin Hoods
Too many halos not enough heroes
Coming up with the goods
So you though you'd like to change the world
Decided to stage a jumble sale
For the poor, for the poor
It's a waste of time if you know what they mean
Try shaking a box in front of the Queen
'Cause her purse is fat and bursting at the seams
It's a waste of time if you know what they mean
Too many hands in too many pockets
Not enough hands on hearts
Too many ready to call it a day
Before the day starts
So you thought you'd like to see them healed
Got blue Peter to stage an appeal
For the poor, for the poor
It's a waste of time if you know what they mean
Try shaking a box in front of the Queen
'Cause her purse is fat and bursting at the seams
It's a waste of time if you know what they mean
Flag Day, Flag Day, Flag Day

Housemartins | So Much In Love | /h/housemartins/so+much+in+love_20066097.html | As we stroll along together
Holding hands and walking all alone
So in love are we two
That we don't know what to do
So in love
So in love
As we walk along together
'neath the stars twinkling high above
So in love are we two
That we don't know what to do
So in love
So in love
I tell, I tell you my darling
I need you, I need you oh so much
I love, I love you my darling
Can't you tell it from my touch
As we walk down the isle together
As we vow to stay together till we die
So in love are we two
Just can't wait to say I do
So in love
So in love
Oh you and I
So in love

Howard Jones | All I Want | /h/howard+jones/all+i+want_20066194.html | Ride the wild one cowboy in the rodeo
Love like crazy juliet and romeo
Living only to consume
Bruising hearts collecting gloom
Seems no place to hide away
From the hammer and caress
Dress with passion
Fashion for the parking lot
Make some action
Pushing time out of the clock
Take away identity
Parcel up what's left of me
Water down the youthful drop
Call the sane insanity
All I want is to live with you
All I want is to cry with you
Dance til sunrise
Reggae til the cows come home
Fight the bigot
Champion you're not alone
I can sort of work things out
Juggling the fear and doubt
Even when it's watertight
In the end I have to say
I can sort of work things out
Juggling the fear and doubt
Even when it's watertight
In the end I have to say I have to say
Ride the wild one cowboy in the rodeo
Love like crazy Juliet and Romeo

Howard Jones | Assault And Battery | /h/howard+jones/assault+battery_20066141.html | The lives were taken
For feasts at the table
A life of misery
Ending with a shock
Brutal murder (brutal murder)
All hands to the slaughter
Mass torture
All hands to the knife
And I can hear the screams
With the knife, the jolt, the wring
They must follow in our dreams
Carrying a twisted sting
Children's stories with their farmyard favourites
At the table in a different disguise
Don't talk to me of health
Or something someone else will do
We're talking about the act
Of taking life for me and you
And I hear their screams

Howard Jones | Automaton | /h/howard+jones/automaton_20066142.html | He arrived on the scene
With no past and no future
He seemed to know your dreams
Replace tears with laughter
Street corner whispers
Would mention his name
Selfish? Benevolent?
What was his game
Some say he's perfect
Some say a spy
A hidden power
They all wonder why
The rumors mounted
But still no fact?
I need to find out
Some say perfect hidden power
We all wonder why
Questions unanswered
Suspicion alerted
I went round to his place
If felt quite deserted
I climbed the stairs to where
His body lay without motion
No spirit lives in there
The cord had been broken
His skin was reptile
No life in there
Not young not old
A long hollow glare
His breath had stopped
No hearts beat there
Is this a man
Should I believe hidden power
They all wondered why
My attention was caught
By a sound from the door
Panic gripped the mind
What lay in store
A being stared at me
Benevolent, not cold
Automaton - he is controlled
His skin was reptile.....
Automaton - no life in there
No past and no future
Is this a man
Automaton - no life in there
No past and not future
Is this a man

Howard Jones | Blue | /h/howard+jones/blue_20066218.html | Lay at my side and shut out the world
Warm this cold heart and wrap me in love
Pour magic into a space made for you
Lifetimes of longing are to live through
Blue blue blue blue blue blue
All of my life I've hungered for you
All my lost days of dreaming are through
Riding the clouds on a mission of schemes
Now you are here oh how simple it seems
Blue blue blue blue blue blue
Blue is my world cold is my name
Love was my problem with no one to blame and you
Taught me how to see light shine in me
Light is reflected so easily
I said blue no more blue don't say good-bye
You leave me breathless with nothing to say
Turned me burned me and blew me away
And if you leave like a ghost without trace
This night of love means a world I can face
Blue blue blue blue blue blue
Holding you close timeless together
Heaven just spoke freeze this moment forever and
All other images fall from my eyes
Love you have come to me straight from the skies
I said blue no more blue
I said blue no more blue don't say good-bye
I will always know that love can live

Howard Jones | Bounce Right Back | /h/howard+jones/bounce+right+back_20066143.html | I was walking down the street
With my old friend luke
And the strangest thing we saw
There was a flash like dynamite
And we fell down to the floor
And as we looked up this weird dude stood
I guess he was standing about four feet five
With a nonchalance and a joie de vivre
His face was grinning from side to side
Chorus
Well he said button up and tighten your lip
Keep a check on what you say
Those crazy words you fling from your mouth
Are going to bounce back on you some day
Now several years pass
I thought nothing more
It was down to a nine to five grind
I was shuffling round to my old friend's house
I had party on my mind
While chatting this chick
A guerilla muscled in
A brace of henchmen right behind
My blood boiled hard
I'll give you a piece of my mind
And this guy appeared by my side
Don't you know what he said
Chorus
I was walking down the street with my old friend luke
We were getting into a bit of a heavy scene
He say yes and I say no
He say what do you mean
I pulled my piece and he pulled his
We stared each other right in the eye
There was a flash like dynamite
And this guy appeared by our side
Chorus

Howard Jones | Change The Man | /h/howard+jones/change+the+man_20066219.html | Don't talk to me about ban the bomb
Don't talk to me about who's side I'm on
Replace the system with one just the same
Don't you know that we are all to blame
It's so easy as an armchair blamer
Get off your seat and make a personal change sir
Can't change the system by smashing it down
Inside route personal revolution
Chorus
Change the man
Rip out the root
Let's get rid of this insanity
When the mothers had told the kids straight
When the fathers felt no more hate
When a man can walk down the street without fear
Then thing must change and it's not too late

Howard Jones | City Song | /h/howard+jones/city+song_20066176.html | It was that night at nowhere,
I saw you standing there
Darlin' you were hungry for life,
an innocent in this land
What is it about this city,
that brings us all to life
Ten millions souls vibrating,
They're shimmering in the night
You mustn't think of staying,
The price is more than you'd think
It's giving up the sweetest part of you,
For this heartless prize
When does a vision of heaven
become a living hell
Ten million souls vibrating,
they're acting it out for real
Where do all the lonely people go,
When they want some lovin'
Where do all the lonely people hide,
when they feel like cryin'
It was that night at nowhere,
a cold glass in your hand
Darlin' you were angry with life,
a prisoner in this land
What is it about this city,
that brings us all to life
Ten millions souls vibrating,
They're shimmering in the night
Where do all the lonely people go,
When they want some lovin'
Where do all the lonely people hide,
when they feel like cryin'
Where do all the lonely people go,
in this crowded city
Where do all the lonely people hide,
there's no sanctuary
Nowhere to run to, nowhere to hide
Nowhere to handshake, nowhere to smile
Won't you talk with me
Spend some time and give me life
When does a vision of heaven
become a living hell
Ten million souls vibrating
They're shimmering in the night
Where do all the lonely people go,
in this crowded city
Where do all the lonely people hide,
there's no sanctuary
A vision of heaven
A vision of heaven

Howard Jones | Dream Into Action | /h/howard+jones/dream+into+action_20066144.html | Between every man there is a division
Nobody ever seems to get it right
Even between friends there is a long gap
One of them makes a mistake, there is a fight
Whatever you do you have the benefit of the doubt
Whatever I do please understand
Whatever we do let's make a pledge to put it right
So we can end the rule of the division
Putting the dream into action, into action
Putting the dream into action, into action
Whatever you like to do then let that be my pleasure
Whatever you like to say I'll try to understand
Whatever you do you have the benefit of the doubt
Whatever I do please understand
Whatever we do let's make a pledge to put it right
So we can end the rule of the division
Putting the dream into action into action
You are strong
We are strong
You feel it
We feel it
You are strong
We are strong
You are action
Putting the dream into action

Howard Jones | Fallin' Away | /h/howard+jones/fallin+away_20066168.html | The manners of the heart
We watched them grow
Did we write everlasting love,
In the Hollywood snow
The ribbons and the bows
Wrapped us with gold
Such pressure heaven knows
As the fairy tale folds
Who heals the broken ones
When love has gone
You're not the only ones
In an older time when the world was small
When good men were standing
Reaching out for mother love
When the ties of blood would cheer the faintest heart
Never thought I'd see
You fallin' away from me
Beneath the darker sky
The stars are such a mess
Can you forward my good-byes
To some new address
Who heals the broken ones
When love has gone
You're not the only ones
In an older time when the world was small
When good men were standing
Reaching out for mother love
When the ties of blood would cheer the faintest heart
Never thought I'd see
You fallin' away from me
You can't turn back time
We're stranded here
Leave the future behind
You're not the only ones
In an older time when the world was small
When good men were standing
Reaching out for mother love
When the ties of blood would cheer the faintest heart
Never thought I'd see
You fallin' away from me

Howard Jones | Fresh Air Waltz | /h/howard+jones/fresh+air+waltz_20066133.html | Looking at you now, you seem just a shadow
You had the energy to recharge our batteries
I suppose your success became your security
Darkness is not what you need
You were the one who refused to give up
You were the one who lifted us, lifted us off our knees
Now it's our turn to give you some help
Fresh air that's just what you need
Not the stale bread from the failing bitter table
It's so hard
Where's the justice we cry
It's there and will follow us 'til the day we die, 'til
The day that we die
Looking at you know, you seem just a shadow
You had the energy and you recharged our batteries
Now it's our turn to give you some help
Fresh air that's just what you need
Now it's our turn to give you some help
Fresh air that's just what you need
That's just what you need

Howard Jones | Guardians Of The Breath | /h/howard+jones/guardians+of+the+breath_20066134.html | They were guardians of the breath
Trusted with those precious chances
Keeping gaia from the fear of death
Balances must be defended
To take only what they must
(borrowed from the future)
Live in lovers of a global home
(our children will remember)
Guardians slept while comfort came
The vapours poison, the acid rain fell
The spirit cut from earthly bounds
The creature stirred the pain
How much abuse can she take
(awake from your dreamtime)
The lines are drawn our justice awaits
(will the guardians surrender)
The forest bare, a desert born
The life pushed out
They sold her cheaply
All for a shilling for next weeks treat
A marvel that had taken ten thousand years
To take only what they must
(borrowed from the future)
Live in lovers of a global home
(our children will remember)
They are guardians of the breath
Trusted with those precious chances
They are guardians of the breath
Balances must be defended
|
Howard Jones | Last Supper | /h/howard+jones/last+supper_20066135.html | This is our last supper together
The last time we share in this intimacy
We have created a suffering circle that threatens to
Tighten and destroy you and me
Yesterday I flicked through the snapshots we
Kept to remember the tender times
Each little picture and each little memory should bring back a smile
But now brings back a tear of regret
Chorus
Letting go is so hard
Letting go is so hard
So let us love tonight, thinking now of our greatest moments before we
Release from this death in life drink the wine and take my hand
Is it a crime to live this lie?
I know that we will never share, share this love again
But we both must be starting again, each one of
Us too strong in these chains to remain
This tug of war has weakened our purpose and
Pulled us apart from beginning to end

Howard Jones | Law Of The Jungle | /h/howard+jones/law+of+the+jungle_20704909.html | Law of the jungle only the fit survive.
Better make your life your own, do the survival jive.
There are no answers, words are Cul-de-sac
And the pity with actions... Difficult turning back
Don't give a thought about those lucky dice
Paranoid thoughts of worldly vice
The big thumb it never rests on you
Anything you want lies here for you...
Takes a bit of time, means a bit of work
Heart will give the sign it'll make me look.
Ain't got a clue why I'm here at all
So while I'm here I'm gonna have it all
Science men won't explain a thing
In this prison my soul must sing.
Don't give a thought about those lucky dice
Paranoid thoughts of worldly vice
The big thumb it never rests on you
Anything you want lies here for you...
Takes a bit of time, means a bit of work
Heart will give the sign it'll make me look

Howard Jones | Learning How To Love | /h/howard+jones/learning+how+to+love_20066225.html | Creeping through your bedroom door
Just after all the lights go out
Feeling the warmth of your body
And the sweetness of your mouth
Set the alarm again for 5 am
Uneasy sleep will soon be following
Creeping back to my own bed again
I will see you in our uneasy morning
Chorus
Learning how to love
Learning how to love
Learning how to love
Learn how to love
Sitting down at breakfast time
A silence always fills the air
Many things that should be said
Are ending in a vacant stare
And they know just what is going on
But make us feel like we are criminals
Our only wish is learning how to love
Just a small word would make us feel it's natural
Set the alarm again for 5 am
Uneasy sleep will soon be following
Creeping back to my own bed again
I will see you in our uneasy morning

Howard Jones | Left No Evidence | /h/howard+jones/left+no+evidence_20066226.html | Out of time and no one noticed
Rubbing up a different way
Out of step but still in focus things to say
Kicking out the social pressure
Holding on to what you feel
Being you was never easy
Sliding off the the ferris wheel
Small was beautiful to you
Things are on a micro scale
Turned your back on power and glory
Yours was such a personal tale
Dancing to a different step now
Choose you're beats along the way
Nothing arrives at you're house packaged
No glittery wrap to throw away
Cutting different shapes and sizes
Bringing tomorrow into today
No one noticed you as you snuck in the sideline and talked in a quiet way
No bullshit no theatrics no pretence and left no evidence
You left no evidence
You left no evidence

Howard Jones | Let It Flow | /h/howard+jones/let+it+flow_20066227.html | Where are the new rebels
We didn't ask for this
Trying to be something different
We will fight the bigots
Fight them with our reason
Fight them with our constancy
[Chorus]
River, our river, let it flow
This is our lamp light
Let it glow
River, river, let it flow
This is our reason
Let it grow
Don't keep looking back
Living in the past
Never built a golden future. Have,
Have faith in the species
We've come to far to fail
I don't believe in our extinction
Everyone of us
Has got to take it on
Don't build a dam on evolution. There,
There are those who'd like us
To cling on to the past
Wallowing in their past glories
River, (don't)
Our river, (don't look back)
Let it flow (we might fall)
This is our lamp light
Let it glow (have faith in the future)
River, (don't)
River, (don't look back)
Let it flow (we might fall)
This is our reason
Let it grow

Howard Jones | Let Me Be The First To Know | /h/howard+jones/let+me+be+the+first+to+know_20066209.html | If you find a time when things just seem to fall apart
And there's no way to keep a cheery face
When the sight of your own reflection only breaks your heart
And all your dreams have given up the chase
Pick up the telephone
You know I'm always home
Any old time of night or day
Let me be the first to know
Let me be the first to know
Let me be the first to know
If you find a time when you just have to walk away
Because of a call to pastures new
You're in need of some fresh words to wish you on your way
You need to fly on up and touch the moon
Sharing this temporary weight
No time to hesitate
I will be everything you need
Let me be the first to know
Let me be the first to know
Let me be the first to know
Let me be the first ...
We're water breaking on an endless wave
Potential bursting from the sea
Compassion is what sets our minds apart
Be cheerful when you break
The chains of morality
Oo, sharing this welcome weight
Don't even hesitate
I will be everything you need
Let me be the first to know
Let me be the first to know
Let me be the first to know
Let me be the first to know
Let me be the first one to know

Howard Jones | Let The Spirit Carry Me | /h/howard+jones/let+the+spirit+carry+me_20066228.html | People come together it's time for a union
C'mon c'mon c'mon lets do it right
When the darkness takes control and we lose the reason
C'mon c'mon c'mon lets see the light
Well let the faith shine down on me and let the spirit carry me
To a place where the stars don't know your name
To a town where the children fly
To a city where love comes naturally
In a country where devils die
I want to be there one more time
When my brain is on the floor I need you to help me
C'mon c'mon c'mon don't watch me die
And a friend is someone that you allow to help you
Carry me back carry me back hear me cry
Well let the faith shine down on me and let the spirit carry me
And I dreamt of a love that knows no gain
And our guilt didn't paralyse
Men and women and children can walk free
In the world where our devils die
I want to be there one more time
I want to be there one more time, I want to be there one more time
To a place where the stars don't know you're name
To a town where the children fly
To a city where love comes naturally
In a country where devils die
I want to be there one more time
Well let the faith shine down on me and let the spirit carry me

Howard Jones | Life In One Day | /h/howard+jones/life+in+one+day_20066182.html | The old man said to me
Said don't always take life so seriously
Play the flute
And dance and sing your song
Try and enjoy the here and now
The future will take care of itself somehow
The grass is never greener over there
Time will wear away the stone
Gets the hereditary bone
[Chorus]
Don't try to live your life in one day
Don't go speed your time away
Don't try to live your life in one day
Don't go speed your time away
The old man said to me
Said you can't change the world single handedly
Raise a glass enjoy the scenery
Pretend the water is champagne
And fill my glass again and again
While the wolves are gathering round your door
Time will wear away the stone
Gets the hereditary bone
[Chorus]
The old man said to me
Said don't always take life so seriously
Play the flute
And dance and sing your song
Try and enjoy the here and now
The future will take care of itself somehow
The grass is never greener over there
Time will wear away the stone
Gets the hereditary bone
I tried to live my life in one day
Don't go speed your time away
I bit off more than I can chew
Only so much you can do
Wolves are gathering round my door
Ask them in and invite some more
I tried to live my life in one day
Don't go speed your time away
Don't try to live your life in one day

And I'm squeezin' it I'm teasin' it

But I'm losin' it, confusin' it

Lost the road to a higher soul
Stop me from fallin' you know I need you
To lift me up
Won't you lift me up yeah
Won't you take me to a place that I once knew
And when you can see
You've always been there for me
I'm waiting for your love
There'll be a time when all our rhythms of love
Are shakin' it we're makin' it
There'll be a place where life is livin' to give
This harmony it will come to me
And when I think of those who love you now
If I had my chances again somehow
Stop me from fallin' you know I need you
To lift me up
Won't you lift me up yeah
Won't you take me to a place that I once knew

I need your love in a hurry
Teach me, reach me, meet me, beat me,
Tease me, please me,
Come and seize me
This is a man who has lost control
Lost the road to a higher soul
Catch me from fallin' you know I need you
To lift me up
Won't you lift me up yeah
Won't you take me to a place that I once knew
And when you can see
You've always been there for me
I'm waiting for your love
And when you can see
The changes I've made in me
Well I'm waitin' for, you know I'm waitin' for your love

Howard Jones | Little Bit Of Snow | /h/howard+jones/little+bit+of+snow_20066198.html | Please don't throw you away we need you to stay
When you die a part of us dies
Not the body but part of the soul
You have a light for us we need every glimmer
Don't destroy yourself in a little bit of snow
When there is no feeling and no pain
It only lasts a little while
When one light goes out a part of all of us cries
Please hang on for us
Please give you to us
Don't destroy yourself in a little bit of snow
Please don't throw you away we need you to stay
When you die a part of us dies
Not the body but part of the soul
Drink the sunshine warm to the rain
Keep the glimmer alive for all of us
And a million matches in the night
Will help to light the way
When one light goes out
A part of all of us cries
Please hang on for us
Please give you to us
Don't destroy yourself in a little bit of snow
Drink the sunshine, warm to the rain
Keep the glimmer alive for all of us
And a million matches in the night
Will help to light the way
When one light goes out
A part of all of us cries

Howard Jones | Love's Never Wasted | /h/howard+jones/loves+never+wasted_20715475.html | I remember the day we met
Like a thunderbolt out of the blue
You kinda liked the way I came across
But it always meant more to me than it meant to you
Recalling a daydream I had as a child
A half hidden memory from a more innocent time
Your love is never wasted
If your heart is true
All that you're giving
Will always come back to you
In the strangest of ways
On your darkest of days
All that you're giving out
Will surely be coming back to you
So no need to be worrying
No need to count the cost
No separating the inside from the outside world
No finding No loss
I'm remembering something, so distant so fine
Ancient, eternal and still ahead of it's time
Your love is never wasted
If that love is true
All that you're giving
Will always come back to you
In the strangest of ways
In your darkest of days
All that you're giving out
Will surely be coming back to you
So love with abandon
Without judgement. Without fear
With a confidence in tomorrow
Love with a grin and a tear
Not always reflected, not always fulfilled
Love's not out to get you but wants you to build
Your love is never wasted
If that love is true
All that you're giving
Will always come back to you
In the sweetest of ways
On your brightest of days
All that you're giving out
Will surely be coming back to you
Surely be coming back to you

Howard Jones | No One Is To Blame | /h/howard+jones/no+one+is+to+blame_20066199.html | You can look at the menu, but you just can't eat
You can feel the cushion, but you can't have a seat
You can dip your foot in the pool, but you can't have a swim
You can feel the punishment, but you can't commit the sin
And you want her, and she wants you
We want everyone
And you want her and she wants you
No one, no one, no one ever is to blame
You can build a mansion, but you just can't live in it
You're the fastest runner but you're not allowed to win
Some break the rules, and let you cut the cost
The insecurity is the thing that won't get lost
You can see the summit but you can't reach it
It's the last piece of the puzzle but you just can't make it fit
Doctor says you're cured but you still feel the pain
Aspirations in the clouds but your hopes go down the drain
No one ever is to blame, No one ever is to blame

Under his nose was a dream come true
Been there all the time and he almost knew.
And the fear goes on shadows
And the tear flows on for nothing. .. .
Under his nose was a dream come true. ..
Thoughts of people in misfortune stopped him doing things well
His duty was to use it - left his pearl in the shell.

Yesterday is gone, time for moving on
Here's a brand new start, gonna base it on my heart
It's another day, I've got to find a better way
Won't you help me?
Failing that
If you have to go
It's all up to me, I know
I just wanna change my world but from the inside
I just wanna live my life
And make this place, make this time
For all our lives to be respected
Here in the cold light of day, this vision
Paints a different world, a world of the heart
And I want to live there
I've been on the run from all the people I've become
I want to shed this skin and start it all again
I want to draw a line in the sand for one last time
Will you help me?
Failing that
If you have to go
It's all up to me, I know
I just wanna change my world but from the inside
I just wanna live my life
With some hope and to do what's right
I just wanna change this world
And make this place, make this time
For all our lives to be respected
I just wanna change my world

Absorbing values like a chameleon
His rhythm and his method have got out of line
When you sit on a fence you get a sore behind
Must not upset the apple cart
He'll choose your views today
Having some kinda conflict
Seems to get right in his way
Chorus
Whoa...rubber morals
Whoa...rubber morals
Whoa...rubber morals, plasticine ideals
See how this one feels
The men in st. peters will not agree to a slipping
On his conscience like he slips on a johnnie
He's a part time socialist and a part time tycoon
Flags of convenience fly in his cocoon
Must not upset the apple cart
Preserve the status quo
His heart felt convictions
Left a long time ago
A sign over his bed will testify
Is there nothing in his life from which he'd live or die
A pale shade of grey lines a vacant head
With our condom-nation you are blessed
Must not upset the apple cart
He'll choose your views today
Having some kinda conflict
Seems to get right in his way

It's all, it's all inside

As you feel every pain
Coax out the sun
From the endless rain
Thought I'd never feel
So much love for another
I'll be with you
I will be there in the end
Love that is there
Through the false and the real
Love that desires
No reward and no gain
As I hold your tiny hand
You'll never know how I feel
There's a promise
With my life I will defend
I will be there with you 'til the end
And I'll cry your tears
As you feel every pain
Coax out the sun
From the endless rain

All that potential
Bursting inside
Let me help you on your journey
Let me help you with life

Well, I was just wondering if you're alone
So how you've been lately? I hear you're a little down
And do you think maybe I could come around?
[Chorus]
I could be someone you need
Wrap you in blankets on dark winter nights
Be your best confidante, pay the right compliment
I could be someone you need
We had coffee on 3rd Street and talked for a time
I still have your letter, I know every line
I hope this ain't coming from way out of the blue
'Cause I got to thinking and I thought of you
[Chorus]
You need someone there when the world isn't fair
Or it's all just too good to be true
Someone to care for you, issue a dare to you
When the moment comes you need to fly, fly

As if this was a competition
Leave that to teachers at school
Must preserve their tradition
'bout time you realized
You are a specialty
There is no one like you
Spend your life worrying
'bout what you could have been
Can't you like being you
Don't need a scalp
Don't need to be a juror
Take care of yourself
No need to feel so insecure
Waste of energy
To prove a holier than him
Waste of energy
To find out who commits what sin
'bout time you realized
You are a specialty
There is no one like you
Spend your life worrying
'bout what could have been
Can't you like being you
Don't chop off his head ...
'bout time you realized ...

But only for a moment
A face that hides a thousand secrets
Never seems to smile
A feeling of uncertainty
No hand to rock the cradle
But we can hear a whispering inside
Spectrum shifting
Colours form
The picture is changing
Crystal calling
Diamonds fall
A time for creating
Spectrum shifting
Colours form
The future is waiting
Illusion holds a mystery
But nothing lasts forever
A searching for a hidden magic
Waiting to be found
A haunting sense of emptiness
They hear the sound of silence
But we can hear a whispering inside
Spectrum shifting...

I have dreamed you, held in your security
Some people believe a photograph traps your mortal soul
Your eyes ARE the camera and you've TAKEN hold
And you captured me
I need you to take control
I am a prisoner of no confidence
You've entered me now make me whole
Every place I go I feel your lenses trained on me
This distant concentration takes away my energy
Your image burns it's negative
Behind my waking eyes
Then the night comes and you stalk your prize
And you captured me
I need you to take control
I am a prisoner of no confidence
You've entered me now make me whole
Some people believe a photograph traps your mortal soul
Your eyes were the camera and you've taken hold
And you captured me

He tried to get the people to the safety of the door
There was no fire the voices were telling him what to do
You could see from his face he needs someone
To help pull him through
The voices are back they're telling him what to do
The voices are back they're telling him what to do
Ripping through the fabric between his world and the real
He's trying to protect you but
The knife will know that your flesh meets steel
Took him to an institution
And they helped the voices go away
But he didn't have the right set of papers
So they put this boy in jail
The voices are back they're telling him what to do
The voices are back they're telling him what to do
Six weeks turned to twelve
He was locked up for twenty-three hours a day
The warden found him in his cell
His only crime was that he was ill
The voices are back they're telling him what to do
The voices are back they're telling him what to do

Security throw through the wall
Future dreams we have to realize
A thousand skeptic hands
Won't keep us from the things we plan
Unless we're clinging to the things we prize
And do you feel scared, I do
But I won't stop and falter
And if we threw it all away
Things can only get better
Wow wow wow oh, wow wow wow oh oh oh oh
Treating today as though it was
The last, the final show
Get to sixty and feel no regret
It may take a little time
A lonely path, an uphill climb
Success or failure will not alter it
And do you feel
Wow wow wow oh...
And do you feel...

The malady within your heart has no cure and prevention
There are those who move clouds

Heard it murmured in a far off crowd
Those who move clouds
I wish that I could offer you a chance to change direction
But you know that pathways must be followed to near destruction
There are those who move clouds
Those who move clouds
Heard it murmured in a far off crowd
Those who move clouds
There are those who will patronise and compromise your position
They can't feel the forceful hand of
Predetermined destination
There are those who move clouds
Those who move clouds
Heard it murmured in a far off crowd
Those who move clouds
I can feel the forceful hand
And it won't let me change direction no
And there's this hunger inside of me
And it won't and it won't no it won't stop it's aching
And I can feel it inside of my head the forceful hand
And it won't let me change direction
And there's this hunger and it won't let me
And it won't let me stop and it won't let me stop this aching no

Like a heavy pack
Now we don't live in the present

To what's been and gone so it comes again
Singin' the same old song
Singin' na na-na na na
Let it go oh oh
Tomorrow is, tomorrow is now
Tomorrow is, tomorrow is now
What are you going to ask for
What are you going to create
It's in you hands to build your own world
Forget about fate
And I don't need to remind you
Life is short and life is sweet
And before you even know it
Past and future gonna meet
Oh, every day and every way
Good to go oh oh
Tomorrow is, tomorrow is now [Repeat: x4]
Not much to say
It's all been said, anyway
Not much to think about
Just let go of yesterday

It's not too late to start over
It's not too late to turn around
What are the things important to you?
Can't be the money
Well I got news for you
Two souls (should be two souls together)
Two souls (in the life that we planned)
But you're working obsession is squeezing me
Out of your world
I'd rather live in a doll's house in a small street
Where it always rains
You kid yourself you're working all for me
But older kids play with bigger trains
It's not too late to start over
It's not too late to turn 'round
It's like we live in separate worlds
Can't buy the lost time
I want my share of you
I want my share of you
Two souls (should be two souls together)
Two souls (in the life that we planned)
But you're working obsession is squeezing me
Out of your world

Wish I'd never locked the door
Ordinary things in life are where this heaven likes to be
Hold the sky, feet on the floor
Hold the sky, feet on the floor
We make our sun to shine
We make our space and time
We make the weather
We make it change
Hell is not somewhere but a state of mind I choose to be
When my faith in life has gone
Cruelty rebounds to hurt itself puts shackles on the free
Vicious circle carries on
Hold the sky, feet on the floor
We make our sun to shine
We make our space and time
We make the weather
We make it change
We make the weather
We make it change
Time to judge the act don't judge the actor of the circumstance
Time to free compassion's world
Life is not the end we're passing through like bubbles on the sea
Time to learn and time to mend
Hold the sky, feet on the floor
We make our sun to shine
We make our space and time
We make the weather
We made a change

On your wedding day
With the one you love

Some memories
despair and pleasure
Faced at every turn
And there's children
To save from harm's way
Three thousand doorways
Reveal a thousand more
Treasure each moment
Forever more
I promise to love you and do my best for you
I need you to help me to find my strength
Walk with me all through my life
My lover my husband my wife
Share this journey with me
Write this story with me
Life comes and it will go
And there's no time to sit and watch the grass grow
When we are old and grey you know we'll say
We went and made ourselves some memories
We're starting our life
We're starting together now
I need you to help me to find my strength
Walk with me all through my life
My lover my husband my wife

The trident is just touching down
We're waiting here on the tarmac
McGarrett is wearing a frown
He's here to help with a problem
A blood-spattered curse on our land
Please cast your eye over this map, sir
This business is quite out of hand
The circus of death is approaching
It's pathway is painted in red
Before it the frightened and helpless
Behind it a trail of the dead
The narcotic that forges their union
Is a substance known only to one
To the clown it is known as dominion
It's a secret that he'll give to none
The drug which gives the clown power
Means the circus can never be stopped

'Til the last human being has dropped
Spare me and my family

Go away, please let us be

Human League | Darkness | /h/human+league/darkness_20066356.html | Where my dreams are all too clear
Darkness, darkness
Filled with all the sounds of fear
I hear voices (don't turn out the light)
Calling faraway
I see shadows (don't turn out the light)
Moving, changing shape
And the clock stops
As darkness closes in
I hesitate but it's too late
I scream and scream again
I hear colours black and red
I see sounds that fill my head
I'll never read those books again
In darkness
Where my dreams are all too clear
Darkness, darkness
Filled with all the sounds of fear
I hear voices (don't turn out the light)
Calling faraway
I see shadows (don't turn out the light)
Moving, changing shape
Don't turn out the light (don't turn out the light)
Or I'll go over the edge
Don't turn out the light (don't turn out the light)
Or I'll go over the edge
In darkness
Where my dreams are all too clear
Darkness, darkness
Filled with all the sounds of fear
I hear voices (don't turn out the light)

Human League | Dont You Know I Want You | /h/human+league/dont+you+know+i+want+you_20066373.html | It's a beautiful night
A cool breeze in the air
Got the keys to my car
But I don't want to go nowhere
I'm not at all bored
But I've plenty of time to spare
There's only one thing that I know
Would take me there
I've got one thing to say to you
I guess you just don't realize
When you see me look at me
There's more than friendship in my eyes
Don't you know I want you
Don't you know I want you
You can really get a buzz
Hanging out with the cool and free
You can act like a monarch
Or a pillar of the bourgeoisie
Anything you want to do
I'm never going to disagree
But I've got a point of view
How about a little sympathy
I've got one thing to say to you
I guess you just don't realize
When you see me look at me
There's more than friendship in my eyes
Don't you know I want you
Don't you know I want you
Don't you know I want you
Don't you know I want you
Don't you know I want you
Don't you know I want you

I picked you out, I shook you up
And turned you around, turned you into someone new.
Now five years later on you've got the world at your feet.
Success has been so easy for you.
But don't forget it's me who put you where you are now,
And I can put you back there too.
Don't, don't you want me?
You know I can't believe it
When I hear that you won't see me.
Don't, don't you want me?
You know I don't believe you
When you say that you don't need me.
It's much to late to find
When you think you've changed your mind.
You'd better change it back or we will both be sorry.
Don't you want me, baby?
Don't you want me, oh?
Don't you want me, baby?
Don't you want me, oh?
I was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar,
That much is true.
But even then I knew I'd find a much better place
Either with or without you.
The five years we have had have been such good times,
I still love you.
But now I think it's time I live my life on my own.
I guess it's just what I must do.
Don't, don't you want me?
You know I can't believe it
When I hear that you won't see me.

Human League | Love On The Run | /h/human+league/love+on+the+run_20066351.html | I was wondering
All the time that I was waiting
When would I rise
From the years that I'd been hating
For the first time
Living seemed to mean so much to me
Like the day time
Shining from the night that used to be
Just when it seemed like
My chances all had gone
I found a reason
To fight to carry on
Look back in anger
Look back in fun
But take what you want
Love on the run
Life hates a loser
Look what you've done
Hold up your head
Love on the run
So the page turned
Someone there to read my history
Understanding
Always wants to see the best in me
For the future
Looking just a little like a dream
Warm and hazy
Living everyday but more extreme
Just when it seemed like
My chances all had gone
I found a reason
To fight to carry on
Look what you've done
Look back in anger
Look back in fun
Write your own story
Love on the run
Life hates a loser
Look what you've done
Revel in glory
Love on the run
Look back in anger
Look back in fun
But take what you want
Love on the run
Life hates a loser
Look what you've done
Hold up your head
Love on the run
Hold your head up
Hold your head up
Hold your head up
Love on the run
Hold your head up
Hold your head up
Hold your head up
Look back in anger
Look back in fun
Write your own story
Love on the run
Life hates a loser
Look what you've done
Revel in glory
Love on the run

A pebble skips across the face
A dozen times, then disappears
Not a trace left behind
The thrower turns and walks away
A change of mind
Another start a brand new day
You know I'll change
If change is what you require
Your every wish
Your every dream, hope, desire
Here comes the mirror man
Says he's a people fan
Here comes the mirror man
And if it seems I'm not the one you used to know
Our little friendship left behind not long ago
Don't feel too hurt
As distance heals the strongest pain
Things are much better now
And just a nagging doubt remains
You know I'll change
If change is what you require
Your every wish
Your every dream, hope, desire
Here comes the mirror man
Says he's a people fan
Here comes the mirror man
Here comes the mirror man
Says he's a people fan

Human League | Morale...You've Lost That Loving Feeling | /h/human+league/moraleyouve+lost+that+loving+feeling_20498546.html | Don't talk
Close the door
You've been here before
Your shape dim
I'm an old man now
The air's thin
The walls very damp now
And if I don't go
I'll always be stuck here in this poor little room
With a view of the corner
I don't forget
The light growing weak now
Experience is useless
Unless you can learn
And I've never met anyone
Who used their knowledge
To avoid those mistakes made again and again
And if I don't go
I'll always be stuck here in this poor little room
With a view of the corner
You never close your eyes anymore when I kiss your lips
And there's no tenderness like before in your fingertips
You're trying hard not to show it (baby)
But baby, baby I know it
You've lost that loving feeling
Woah, that loving feeling
You've lost that loving feeling
Now it's gone, gone, gone
Woah-woah
Now there's no welcome look in your eyes when I reach for you
And girl you're starting to criticize little things I do
It makes me just feel like crying (baby)
Cause, baby, something beautiful's dying
You've lost that loving feeling
Woah, that loving feeling
You've lost that loving feeling
Now it's gone, gone, gone
Woah-woah
Baby, baby, I'd get down on my knees for you
If you would only love me like you used to do, yeah
We had a love, a love, a love you don't find every day
So don't, don't, don't, don't let it slip away
Bring back that loving feeling
Woah, that loving feeling
Bring back that loving feeling
Now it's gone, gone, gone
And I can't go on
Baby (baby), baby (baby)
I want you please (woooo)
Please (woooo)
I need your love (I need your love)
I need your love (I need your love)
Now it bring it on back (bring it on back)
Bring it on back now (bring it on back now)
Now bring it on back

Take a look at mine, but it's up to you
But it's up to you
It's for you
Just for you
From one who must adore you
In love fallen

Human League | sky | /h/human+league/sky_20909394.html | And after such a blazing day
At last the breeze began to play
I drained my glass and turned to see
Her face she smiled she spoke to me
I told her my name I asked her the same
She said they call me sky
Sky
Said she is in danger maybe a stranger
Might know a place near by
And she talked and she smoked little more than a job
All the cares of my life went away on that day
In that room coming out of the gloom
And the gift that she gave follow me to the grave from on
Life goes on
Now you gone
Life goes on after sky
Life goes on after sky
So much can change without a sign
A twist of fate two worlds alight
The words get spoken all worlds were broken
The wind began to sign
The heat of daybreak the precious keepsake
Too soon the last goodbye
And the death in her eyes come enraged of the skies
For the day of my birth was the last day on earth
Like a boat in the night gets a moment of light
I could see what I've done what must be from now on
Life goes on
Now you're gone
Life goes on after sky
Life goes on after sky
Ahhh sky
Ahhh sky
Life goes on
Now you're gone
Life goes on after sky
Life goes on after sky
Sky
Sky

Tell me when.
Kelly took a lifetime searching for the bottom line.
I wasn't in to searching 'cause I was doing fine.
I wasn't into fighting, chasing, sweating, slaving, fretting, lacing.
Any waste of effort wasn't part of my design.
Billy was an inspiration, positive and kind,
until he let confusion overcome his youthful mind.
Common sense dictated I could never be so blind and then,
then I see you.
Tell me when, tell me when.
Tell me when will I see you again.
Tell me when will I see you again.
Tell me when will I see you again.
Tell me when.
Happenstance and episode unplanned to load in time.
Coincidence, the second chance resounding like a rhyme.
Our paths may cross against the odds to wreck the plans you made,
among the crowd, a face that smiles to melt your masquerade.
"If only I could see you," says a stranger deep inside and lets you know that
when you were so sure you really lied.
"If only I could see you," says the voice within your brain
and quietly, insistently it says it once again.
And then I really need to know.
Tell me when will I see you again.
Tell me when will I see you again.
Tell me when will I see you again.
Tell me when.
If wouldn't seem so lonely, (If only, if only.)
if only I could see you. (If only, if only.)
Baby, you could be free, (If only, if only.)
if only I could see you. (If only, if only.)
You'll never have to doubt me, (If only, if only.)
if only I could see you. (If only, if only.)
Baby, you could free me, (If only, if only.)
if only I could see you, if only I could see you.
If only I could see you, if only I could see you,
if only I could see you, if only I could see you,
if only I could see you, if only I could see you,
if only I could see you, if only I could. . .

Human League | The Black Hit Of Space | /h/human+league/the+black+hit+of+space_20066425.html | Been out all night, I needed a bite, I thought I'd put a record on
I reached for the one with the ultra-modern label, and wondered where the
light had gone
It had a futuristic cover, lifted straight from buck rogers
The record was so black it had to be a con
The autochanger switched as I filled my sandwich
And futuristic sounds warbled off and on
The black hit of space
It's the one without a face
It's the one that doesn't fit
You can only see the flip
The black hit of space
Sucking in the human race
How can it stay at the top
When it's swallowed all the shops
As the song climbed the charts, the others disappeared
Til there was nothing but it left to buy
It got to number one, then into minus figures
Though nobody could understand why
The black hit of space
It's the one without a face
It's the one that doesn't fit
You can only see the flip
The black hit of space
Sucking in the human race
How can it stay at the top
When it's swallowed all the shops
I couldn't stand this bland sound any more so I walked towards my deck to turn
it off
All I could see was the b-side of the disc
Which had assumed a doughnut shape with the label on the outside rim
I reached for the arm which was less than one micron long
But weighed more than Saturn and time stood still
I knew I had to escape but every time I tried to flee, the record was in front
of me
The black hit of space
Get James Burke on the case
It's the hit that's never gone
Time stops when you put it [on]

Join us, come and join us
There is a path that's crystal clear
It guides the wise away from here
In summer's hazy atmosphere
Or wintertime
The more the merrier they say
The moors stretch out along the way
By glow of night, by light of day
Just read the signs
'Til we can see the smoke rise in the distance
Reminding us of home not far behind
Careering through the path of least resistance
We're going on a journey of the mind
From the town to the country
From the country to the town
Come and join us
Come and join us
From the valley to the hillside
From the upside to the down
Join us, come and join us
A rush along a zigzag road
Surprised the damned, by mouth of toad
A shop where you cannot reload
The way to Hyde, the sixty-two or six two eight
Will do if you cannot be late
Sometimes the only choice to make
In wintertime
We gaze upon the face of the Apollo
We know that we approach our journey's end
And still we will be home before tomorrow
But we will rise before we must descend
From the town to the country
From the country to the town
Come and join us
Come and join us
From the valley to the hillside
From the upside to the down
Join us, come and join us
From the town to the country

From the upside to the down
Join us, come and join us

We hear the bells, we hear the bells
We hear the bells, we hear the bells
They're ringing low, we hear the bells
Join us, we hear the bells
We hear the bells, we hear the bells
We hear the bells, come and join us
We hear the bells, we hear the bells
They're ringing low, we hear the bells
Come to the valley
Join us, we hear the bells
We hear the bells, come to the valley
Come and join us, we hear the bells
We hear the bells, come to the valley
Come and join us, we hear the bells
We hear the bells, they're ringing low

The shades from a pencil peer
Pass around
A fold in an eyelid brushed with fear
The lines on a compact guide
Pass around

Anticipation, causes slumber to withdraw, are you going
Out tonight? will the evening be alright or more?
The stars are going out, the stars are going out, we used
To be so hot, a million kilowatt or more,
Sifting through the wreckage, at a hundred miles an hour,
Searching for a night club, a source of worship power,
Grabbing worn out cast off lovers, throwing out a trail of
Need or more, I never called you baby, made the necessary
Motion, swallowed pride for peace of mind, while
Swimming in your ocean, I always had to fit, or be aware of
It or more,
The stars are going out, the stars are going out, we used
To be so tough, but just not tough enough that's all,
The stars are going out, the stars are going out, we used
To be so bad, but that was just a fad that's all,
The stars are going out, the stars are going out,
The stars are going out, the stars are going out, we used
To be so bright, but now we shake with fright that's all,
The stars are going out, the stars are going out, we used
To be so bad, but that was just a fad that's all,

To see the things you've only ever heard of
Dream life the way you think it ought to be
See things you thought you'd never ever see
Take a cruise to China or a train to Spain
Go round the world again and again
Meet a girl on a boat meet a boy on a train
And fall in love without the pain
Everybody needs love and adventure
Everybody needs cash to spend
Everybody needs love and affection
Everybody needs two or three friends
[Chorus]
These are the things
These are the things
The things that dreams are made of
These are the things
These are the things
The things that dreams are made of
Take a lift to the top of the Empire State
Take a drive across the Golden Gate
March, march, march across Red Square
Do all the things you've ever dared
Everybody needs love and adventure
Everybody needs cash to spend
Everybody needs love and affection
Everybody needs two or three friends
[Chorus]
Like fun and money and food and love
And things you never thought of
These are the things
These are the things
The things that dreams are made of
New York, ice cream, TV, travel, good times
Norman Wisdom, Johnny, Joey, Dee Dee, good times

Your conversation will suffice
I feel the need that's known to all
Better use it up before the levels fall
You can take me back to the primal drive
You can carry on until we arrive
Hypnotized inside
Now I'm not young and you're not old
I'd rather purchase than be sold
Crazed friends so bold
It's not easy to conceal
When you're so touchable
People will hide indifference
Just to be touchable
They still emit split second screams
When they are touchable
Under the surface just for kicks
Sincerely touchable
You say it's okay, but what do I feel
Guilt, compassion, or Achilles Heel
Little feet march down grey matter hill
Then panic occurs, no seeds to spill
What's the matter now
Please look up and speak
Your spirit's wilting and your flesh is weak
Eight days a week
I can't imagine what'll happen now
I wonder when and I wonder how
The end will come
It's not easy to conceal
When you're so touchable
People will hide indifference
Just to be touchable
It's not easy to conceal
When you're so touchable
People will hide indifference
Just to be touchable
They still emit split second screams
When they are touchable
Under the surface just for kicks
Sincerely touchable
The final answer to all our fears
Abrupt conclusion to all our years
Still touchable but no one hears
They carry on hypnotized inside

This man I saw
Was happy then
And then loved
And on tv well
But now he cried
And he cried
And of course he had to want to die
But he watched him
Which made it worse
Of course, of course, of course, of course
You understand
He didn't know
That it was someone else
Who looked the same
A similar voice taken
The clothes changed
But the face retained
Surrounded by
Old imagery
His brain bypassed
The eternal moment laid bare
No time to heal
Continual pain, continual pain, continual pain, continual pain
I spent a bad day yesterday
With a man and a picture of himself
The tape was running and the tv turned
Television: ... And described Mrs Thatcher's first three months in power as
disastrous

We were living in fear
Living in fear
When I was a child
Just a light year from here
Living in fear
Worlds may shatter
Years don't matter
Words came back to haunt you
Worlds may shatter
Years don't matter
Words came back to haunt you
Friends past missing
Reminiscing
Words came back to haunt you
Tolerating propaganda
And your girlfriend, Alexandra
With her secret memorandum
Signs
For an interview
Searching for the light
In the world of the blahs
Masquerading as stars
How can this be right?
You've been going too far
Leaving conscience ajar
Worlds may shatter
Years don't matter
Words came back to haunt you
Friends past missing
Reminiscing
Words came back to haunt you
When I was a child
We were living in fear
Living in fear
Worlds may shatter
Years don't matter
Words came back to haunt you
Worlds may shatter
Years don't matter
Words came back to haunt you
Friends past missing
Reminiscing
Words came back to haunt you
Worlds may shatter
Years don't matter
Words came back to haunt you
Friends past missing
Reminiscing
Words came back to haunt you

Ian Hunter | All Of The Good Ones Are Taken | /i/ian+hunter/all+of+the+good+ones+are+taken_20066517.html | Girl, things ain't been goin' too good for me
Girl, I'm living in the middle of a mystery
You're the one that can turn me on
'N' now that you're gone
I said Girl, I'm livin' in the middle of your memory
Girl, you're still the figure in my favorite fantasy
I know you know that's the way it goes
And still my love grows
I said all o' the good all o' the good ones are taken
All o' the good all o' the good ones are taken
I'm hangin' around with my head in the air
Watchin' the lovers go by
I had a lover, but she never cared
All you could say was goodbye
Maybe I was mistaken, maybe I got it wrong
But all of the good ones are taken from now on
'N' girl, I'm livin' in the middle of a broken dream
I said girl all this fallin' in love ain't like it seems
Out in the rain can't you feel my pain
Again 'n' again 'n' again 'n' again 'n' again
All of the good all o' the good ones are taken
Maybe I was mistaken, maybe I got it wrong
But all of the good ones are taken in my song

Ian Hunter | American Music | /i/ian+hunter/american+music_20066611.html | I have a dream its only one dream
But I know dreams can come true
And I have a wish its only one wish
But I know wishes can too
I want to be-faraway from here
With those honky tonk heroes burnin' my ears oh
Love American music I play it all night long
Just me n' records n' a vivid imagination
I love to dance in the mirror I practice every single word
And it seems to me American music is all I've ever heard
Oh oh oh-oh oh oh its lonely on the underground
I sit and watch my world go round n' round n' round n' round n' round
I sit and watch the world go round
I hear the sons of Memphis I hear the brothers or Harlem
I hear the Nashville Cats n' the rag time mamas outta New Orleans
I hear the Windy City I hear a gospel singers hymn and it seems to me
American music is all there's ever been
C'mon baby oh oh oh oh-oo-oo
I love the names of the cities I hear the echo echoing
And it seems to me American music is all there's ever been

Ian Hunter | Another Fine Mess | /i/ian+hunter/another+fine+mess_20066537.html | Well, you rang me up you say you wanna get high
Now I'm underpaid and I'm overtired
Riding shotgun 'round the world
I'm too young to die, too old for the girls
You wanna know something, I've had it with you
Another fine mess you got me into
Well, you're always in one hole or another
And I come runnin' just like a brother
When are you ever going to get yourself cleared
You'll keep on running 'til we disappear
I can't believe the things you do
Another mess you got me into
Another fine mess, another fine mess, another fine mess
Well, that's what you get when you settle for less
Another fine mess yeah, another fine mess
Look on the bright side, smile, smile, smile
Relive our childhood just for a little while
Can't you see it's catching it up on you? Hit me, Darrell
Well, that's another mess you got me into
How many more times are you gonna get pissed?
How many more asses have we gotta kiss?
How many more songs have I gotta write?
How many more sessions into the night?
For some dumb fuck who don't got a clue
Another fine mess you got me into
Well you say I'm kicking up too much fuss
Twenty-four hours is too long on the bus
The band's all moan and the driver's slow
There's not enough people, too many shows
Down in the bus with the birthday blues
Another fine mess you got me into
Another fine mess, another fine mess, another fine mess
Well, that's what you get when you settle for less
Another fine mess, another fine mess
Oh, I said another fine mess, another fine mess, ohh
I said another fine mess, another fine mess
Another fine mess, another fine mess
Another fine, another fine, another fine, another fine
Another fine, another fine, another fine mess

Ian Hunter | Cool | /i/ian+hunter/cool_20066614.html | You might be a celebrity, everybody sits up and begs
You might be the sexiest thing since God invented legs
You might be a dictator, a dealer or a saint
Cool is here to tell you when you're cool and when you ain't
If you lose your cool, if you lose your cool, if your cool don't work
If your cool gone fishin' you ain't nothing but a cool jerk
Now you might be a Nazi, lookin' for a friend
You might be a beginning, looking for an end
Some folks go for the ice and snow, some like it Florida hot
Cool is here to tell you what is cool and what is not
If you lose your cool, if you lose your cool, if your cool don't work
If your cool gone fishin' you ain't nothing but a cool jerk
Or you can write a book about the money you took
You can pose on the cover nude
You can only flip on an ego trip, time'll do the cover on you
But don't you ever cross me, dude
'cause that ain't cool, that's an attitude
I'm so cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool
I'm so cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool
I'm so cool, I'm so cool, cool
I'm so cool, cool, I'm so cool, cool
I ain't nobody [Incomprehensible]
You might be a macho man, 50 million sit-ups a day
Or you might be an expert with something important to say
You might be an evangelist, livin' on the wages of sin
Cool is here to tell you what is out and what is in
If you lose your cool, if you lose your cool, if your cool don't work
If your cool gone fishin' you ain't nothing but a cool jerk
Well, if you lose your cool, if you lose your cool
You ain't nothing but a cool jerk
If you lose your cool, if you lose your cool
You ain't nothing but a cool jerk
If you lose your cool, if you lose your cool
You ain't nothing but a cool jerk
If you lose your cool, if you lose your cool
You ain't nothing but a

Ian Hunter | Death 'n' Glory Boys | /i/ian+hunter/death+n+glory+boys_20066519.html | Get your son - young 'n' dumb
Give him a gun - make him run
Hot stuff - on a Saturday night
Wait a minute - this ain't right
It's that same old story
Talkin' 'bout the death 'n' glory boys
When your head is on the scaffold
'N your ass is on the line
You gotta give it that old religion
One mo' time
Get the death 'n' glory boys
Midnight - no light
Cool sand - like mud in my hands
Got this feelin' - in my hair
What's that movin' - I ain't a scared
It's that same old story
Freak out with the death 'n' glory boys
When it's down to stealing apples
'N you been doin' time
They can buy the hero in you
For a dime
You're a death 'n' glory boy
You'd better pack up your troubles
In your old kit bag
Say goodbye to your mother
She's the only friend you have
Long live the leaders
Long may they reign
May they live long enough
To feel every single pain
They don't care about the widows
They don't give no reasons why
They just keep on making medals
You can buy
From the death 'n' glory boys

Ian Hunter | Easy Money | /i/ian+hunter/easy+money_20066577.html | Once upon a time
She was the virgin of a million lonely minds
And now it's such a crying shame
She does not even know her name
No-one ever knew
All the heavy changes she's been going through
All the sons and lovers on her mind
Cause easy money's hard to find
I've been searching
All night long
You know, she's been searching all night long
[Chorus]
Easy money
She gets down on her knees
She's begging you please
Cause she needs
Easy money
She's out on a run
She needs someone can she please
Nightmare rides
A shadow limps across the great sunrise
And steals the hope that lies behind her eyes
In a sense it's hard to find
I've been searching
All Night long
You know, she's been searching all night long
[Chorus]
Easy money
Easy money
She ain't no fool
She's breaking her rule
And she knows
Easy money
She's out on a run
She's looking for someone who shows
Easy money
She's out on her own
She's looking for someone to plead
Easy money

Ian Hunter | God | /i/ian+hunter/god_10143370.html | (ian hunter)
God said to me "gonna kick your ass - 'cos all you do is ask ask ask
All that energy looking for me when I'm sitting here inside you - plain to see
How I built you cell for cell gave you sights to see - gave you tales to tell
Even let you help yourself for a while - to take some weight off this busy
child"
I said to God "i found you out - I know what this world is all about!"
God said "stop - don't scramble your brain - my opponent's been messing you
around again
See him and me are enemies and we play little games for galaxies
And he's inside you - 'n I am too - so here we are - just the three of you"
"oh we made mistakes - too many cards - but making human beings can be hard
A God gets tired of playing so much chess - he wishes his God would get him
out of his mess"
I said to God "what's it like to die" he said "it's as plain as the sea and
sky
Conception was him and me and you - when your batteries fade we all just move
on"
I said to God "who's winning this game - is the devil in front" he said "is
that his name
You know I've been so busy I never asked - I never looked up from this awesome
task"
I said to God "what's good 'n bad" he said "it's just something you've got to
have
It don't mean nothing to us up here - but your primitive people - you gotta
have fear"
I said to God "do I think for myself" he said I told you once you just help
yourself
Don't forget you're composed of three, your thinking comes from him and me"
I said to God "how big are you, is there a religion - is it true
How big's the universe - is time - the same for you as my life is to mine"
God said "if all the things that made worlds float - were all to part - then
you would note
The size of him and the size of me - and that's how big we both shall be"
He said "the universe is small - just like some fortune-teller's ball
And we both sit down - and we play the game - when somebody wins it all starts
again"
"there's no religion - you did that - it helps to keep your little leaders fat
Like faith 'n superstition stay - to help you pass the time away
But when you talk of time and life - it makes me think of circles, heights
Expansion is the clue - your dreams - are nearer than you've ever been"
"you see my little toy to think - is from two bowls of wine to drink
Don't take too much or you may drown - behave yourself - see you around..."

Ian Hunter | I Ain't No Angel | /i/ian+hunter/i+aint+no+angel_20066579.html | I told my baby girl
That I live by all the rules
She laughed and said to me
Don't you take me for a fool
Then she ran me down
People saw me over town
Then word got back to her
That I was fooling round
[Chorus]
I, I ain't no angel
I, I ain't no angel
So good, goodbye love
Good, goodbye love
Now I'm living on my own
Since my baby set me free
Seems I hurt her pride
And caused her misery
She never understands
To keep me satisfied
I got to live this life
The only way I can
[Chorus]
All right then, come on
[Chorus]
Now they say there is no doubt
That the question in their minds
That I'll be down and out
And the days I'll never find
But you'll never understand
To keep me satisfied
I got to live my life
The only way I can
[Chorus]

Ian Hunter | I Am What I Hated When I Was Young | /i/ian+hunter/i+am+what+i+hated+when+i+was+young_20750237.html | Well I don't follow any trend
I don't sulk for hours on end
I don't wanna reach out 'n' punch someone
I am what I hated when I was young
I don't wear designer clothes
I ain't got pins in my nose
I ain't got a tattoo on my bum
I am what I hated when I was young
Poverty was a wonderful thing everyone enjoyed
We were eatin' grass not smokin' it
Wasn't like this when I was a boy
Wasn't like this when I was a boy
I don't rob old people's homes
I don't steal no cellular phones
I kinda like my Dad and Mom
I am what I hated when I was young
I don't holler, I don't hoot
I don't act like a nincompoop
I don't hide when the police come
I am what I hated when I was young
I'm slowin' down, I'm getting old
N' my back is getting bad
I just sit 'n' moan all day
Wasn't like this when I was a lad
Wasn't like this when I was a lad
Comb my hair, brush my teeth
Wash my feet more than once a week
N' I never leave my flies undone
I am what I hated when I was young
I'm the original mixed up kid
I ain't proud of what I did
Now I'm older, calmed down some
I hate what I used to be when I was young
I hate what I used to be when I was young
I hate what I used to be when I was young

Ian Hunter | Irene Wilde | /i/ian+hunter/irene+wilde_20066512.html | When I was just sixteen - I stood waiting for a dream -
At barker street bus station every night
When I tried to get it on - she just looked at me with scorn - my courage
Turned to dust and I took flight
For those looks they seemed to say
You ain't nuthin' - go away
You're just a face in the crowd so I went home and I vowed
I'm gonna be somebody - someday
Her name was irene wilde - oh such beauty for a child
When she started dating boys - I nearly died
For I could not barely stand to see someone hold her hand
I felt I had to crawl away and hide
In my mother's living room I composed so many tunes
All the same - just a frame - for her name, and just to say
Gonna be somebody - someday
Wild as your name I soon left that country town
I been around, seen some fame, seen some ups and seen some downs
Smile through your shock when you hear your name aloud
It's that face in the crowd - didn't dig it - much too proud...
When I was just sixteen I stood waiting for a dream
A barker street bus station non affair
At the time it seemed so sad, but it did not turn out bad
If you hadn't messed me up I'd still be there
And I think most folks agree, a little put-down makes them see
They ain't no chain - just a link and that's why you made me think
Gonna be somebody - be somebody - be somebody - someday

Ian Hunter | It Ain't Easy When You Fall | /i/ian+hunter/it+aint+easy+when+you+fall_20066552.html | You used to float just like a boat upon the tide
You used to run when things were done you used to hide
You talk of ships you talk of boats you talk of games
And now you're down you ain't around its such a shame
'Cause you got something to give
Something to hold onto
Why don't you live
And you just forget about fixing up fate
Maybe you'd stop pick yourself up
Now its too late Oh
It ain't easy when you fall
It ain't easy when you fall
It ain't easy when you fall
No it ain't no good at all
You didn't know this world ain't slow you gotta move
You made no sound I watched you drown I watched you loose
Your loneliness you knew it best but its a drag
'Cause in the end I lost a friend I feel so sad
'Cause you had something to give
Something to hold onto
Why did you live
If you just forgot about fixing up fate
You'd be here you'd be near
Now it's too late Oh
It ain't easy when you fall
It ain't easy when you fall
It ain't easy when you fall
No it ain't no good at all
Oh, oh hey
It ain't easy when you fall

Is there life after death?
Do you believe? Oh yeah!
Is there life, is there life?

Jumping information, I've got hyperventilation
Will it help me if I walk the streets
I gotta get down search around feel the ground by my feet
Oh no I never knew just how long this could go
If only I could go down slow
I'm gonna shake it, shake it, shake it, is there life after death
I can't remember when I felt so sick and rough
And now they're gonna legalize the stuff
It sure tells you when you've had enough, off the cuff

yeah!
Is there life, is there life? Is there life after death? Do you believe,
I've run out of breath.

Pool hall poison but she felt alright

Ian Hunter | Michael Picasso | /i/ian+hunter/michael+picasso_20066527.html | Once upon a time
Not so long ago
People used to stand and stare
At the spider with the platinum hair
They thought you were immortal
We had our ups and downs
Like brothers often do
But I was there for him
He was always there for me
And we were there for you
How can I put into words
What my heart feels?
It's the deepest thing
When somebody you love dies
I just wanted
To give something back to you
Gift to gift
Michael, michael picasso good night
You used to love our house
You said it was relaxing
Now I walk in the places you walk
I talk in all the spaces you talk
It still hasn't sunk in
Are the words real
That come into my head
On a morning walk?
Do the shadows
Play tricks with my mind?
For it feels like
Nothing has changed
But I know it has
Michael, michael picasso
Good night
Heal me
Won't you
Heal me?
Nothing lasts forever
Set me free
Heal me
Won't you
Heal me?
I'm the one who's left here
Heal me
Heal me
Heal me
You turned into a ghost
Surrounded by your pain
And the thing that I liked the least
Was sitting 'round hasker street
Lying about the future
And we all sit
In a room full of tears
On a windy day
And I looked out
But none of these words seem right
I just wanted
To give something back to you
Gift to gift
Michael, michael picasso
Good night

Ian Hunter | My Revolution | /i/ian+hunter/my+revolution_20066543.html | You were just a twinkle in your teenage mother's eyes
I was squeezing brylcreem on my hair
No one taught us how to be politically correct
And no one told our winkles what to wear
I've been there, I've done it
I've seen it all
That was my contribution oh, oh
So much for the revolution
When someone said, "Let's go to bed" nobody was scared
We were up to no good all the time
(We were up to no good all the time)
Judging by those freckles and the shades upon your nose
It's possible you could be one of mine
(Possible you could be one of mine)
Yeah
I've been there, I've done it
I've seen it all
That was my revolution
On the road again, back at number ten
Underneath the lights a thousand and one nights
A revolution for fun
Oh, you better lock up your mum
I've been there, I've done it
Well, I've seen them come and go
That's for you to guess
And that's for me to know, oh baby
And that's for you to guess and that's for me to know
Ah, so much for revolution, ah so much for revolution
And that was my revolution, oh revolution
That was my revolution

If I'd known then what I know now
I'd do it all again 'cause I'm crazy and how
About my mixed-up, messed-up pretty little psycho girl
I should've given her a swift body swerve
I didn't so I got what I deserve
A freaked-out, spaced-out crazy little psycho girl
Psycho girl - look what you're doing
How come you have to be this way?
Psycho girl - you'll be my ruin
With the softy things you do - the silly things you say
Oh oh psycho girl
She's my cross to bear, my ball and chain
A monkey on my back, she gets into my brain
But I love my washed out, freaked out psycho girl
Yeah, if I'd known then what I know now
I wouldn't change a thing, no way no how
'cause I love my blown out, zonked out psycho girl
So what if she's mixed up, messed up, freaked out
Washed up, fucked up, spaced out
I'm no doubt - I'm crazy about my psycho girl
Psycho - psycho girl

I can't believe what you did, you know - you just can't let it go
I'm sick 'n' tired of listening to your innuendo
I can't believe what you did, you know - you sawed me in half
When I was at the end of my endurance
All you did was bite the hand that fed you from the start
Oh - oh - oh - oh - a little soap 'n' water, na na na na na na - would not

Oh - oh - a little soap 'n' water - a little soap 'n' water, a little soap 'n'

I can't believe what you did, why - why you stoop so low
Why am I the target for your slings and arrows
I can't believe what you did, when - you showed me no class
Every mirror tells a different story
Who gave you the right to be the keeper of my past
Oh - oh - oh - oh - a little soap 'n' water, na na na na na na - would not

Oh - oh - a little soap 'n' water - a little soap 'n' water, we're gonna have

We were both loyal to the cause
That cause died - there was nothing left inside
It ain't my fault, let it - it ain't your fault - let it ride
I can't believe what you did, you know - you know how to hurt
All you do is drag old memories through the dirt
I can't believe what you did - you show no mercy
Yesterday don't last until tomorrow
My oh my, what a pitiful cry - you're your own worst enemy
Oh - oh - oh - oh - a little soap 'n' water, na na na na na na - would not
come amiss
Oh - oh - a little soap 'n' water - a little soap 'n' water, we're gonna have
to wash your mouth out if you persist
I got just what you need, I got just what you need
I got just what you need, I got just what you need
I got just what you need, I got just what you need

You were my lady- I was your number one
When I said I was leaving- tears run
Sons n' lovers-sons n' lovers, breakin'
Tryin' not to hurt each others hearts
Well how long can we exist- I know
We can't go on like this
Sons n' lovers-son's and lovers--i don't wanna lie anymore
Was that you I saw--walkin' out along the shore
Was that you I saw-talkin' to him
Was that you I saw-puttin' his hands in yours
That's alright ma- you can still love him
That's alright ma- you can still love
And through the years-you know- we will remember
Time will never take old times away
How long for you to discover that- there still some strings attached to
Sons n' lovers-sons and lovers
But I don't wanna play anymore
Sons n' lovers

Ian Hunter | The Ballad Of Little Star | /i/ian+hunter/the+ballad+of+little+star_20066564.html | You don't look a day over ten so why be
Do you have to pretend to be older than you are
Beads and mirrors by your body
And in some roadside bar you feel the pain
Little star
Lost on a merry go round, on the game
You can never be found cause you don't know who you are
The reservation killed your nation
And in some tourists car you feel the pain
Little star
You know you know
We grow and grow
We never slow
We always win
And you feel lost
And you feel crossed
And you feel tossed
Just like the wind
Your father will have told you of the wind
Bowed those fine heads that, once proud, roamed the plains
They sought nothing to gain 'til our fathers civilised
And broken hearted arrows roamed the skies
Then you were born to feel the pain
Little star
You know you know
We grow and grow
We never slow
We always win
And you feel lost
And you feel crossed
And you feel tossed
Just like the wind
You know you know
We grow and grow
We never slow
We always win
And you feel lost
And you feel crossed
And you feel tossed
Just like the wind
Your father will have told you of the wind

Ian Hunter | The Other Man | /i/ian+hunter/the+other+man_20066548.html | I forgive you when you can't look straight into my eye
I forgive you when you never want to hold my hand
I forgive you 'cause you're all I've got and I love you
But I'll never forgive the other man
I forgive you even though I know the secret you keep
I forgive you even though you don't give a damn
I forgive you 'cause deep inside you're part of me
But I'll never forgive the other man
Somewhere in the night he's calling
And somewhere in your heart you're falling
I'll forgive you when you stay out late and you never phone
I'll forgive you even though I'll never understand
I'll forgive you 'cause you're all I've got and I love you
But I'll never forgive the other man
Somewhere in the night he's calling
And somewhere in your heart you're falling
I'll forgive you when you stay out late and you never phone
I'll forgive you even though I'll never understand
I'll forgive you 'cause you're all I've got and I love you
But I'll never forgive the other man
No, I'll never forgive as long as I live
No, I'll never forgive the other man
I said I'll never never never forgive
No, I'll never forgive the other man

Ian Hunter | The Outsider | /i/ian+hunter/the+outsider_20066608.html | Death be my mistress, guns be my wife
Breath is my witness and roads are my life
Just give my future's clean as a knife
Far on the way from L.A.
The sun heats the saddle, sand in my hair
Looking for water and there's sweat everywhere
Know that I'm nearer I smell damp air
I ain't tasted coffee for days
When the leaves are down I'll be southward bound
Hunters hunt the outsider.
When the wind grows cold, when the sun grows old,
Nothing holds the outsider
Just killed a man in a town called Nightfall
Damned if I can't remember it all
My hand it was shaking but his talk it was tall
I paid for the funeral crew
And it seems like I never reach Mexico
They're heading me off every place that I go
I'm sick of the fact that I've got to lay low
What else can an outsider do
I know they're near to me, I don't have to see
Just let me be the outsider
They ain't far behind, they're always on my mind
They won't find the outsider
The outsider
When the leaves are down I'll be southward bound
Hunter's haunt the outsider.
When the wind grows cold, when the sun grows old,
Nothing holds the outsider
The outsider. The outsider.

Ian Hunter | The Truth Whole Truth, Nuthin' But The Truth | /i/ian+hunter/the+truth+the+whole+truth+nuthin+but+the+truth_10143408.html | Lonely days lonely nights
Hoping thing's gonna turn out right
You had me hanging on a string
For you I did most anything
You don't give me no
The truth, the whole truth, nothing but the truth
Its a blind mans eye baby ain't no youth
The truth, the whole truth, nothing but the truth
Don't need your lies I got my proof
Put your face up to my window
Ask me baby what did I see
Well I know I know you ain't right
I know you ain't right for me
You don't give me no
The truth, the whole truth, nothing but the truth
Gods little baby's got nothing to shoot
The truth, the whole truth, nothing but the truth
Get your kicks on a different route
All I want is the truth
All I want is the truth
All I want is
The truth, the whole truth, nothing but the truth
Blind mans eye baby ain't no use
The truth, the whole truth, nothing but the truth
Don't need your lies I got nothing to prove
The truth, the whole truth, nothing but the truth
Gods little baby's got nothing to shoot
The truth, the whole truth, nothing but the truth
Get your kicks on a different route
Don't hurt ya
Don't hurt ya
The truth don't hurt ya
The truth don't hurt ya
Don't hurt ya don't hurt ya
The truth don't hurt ya

Ian Hunter | Theatre Of The Absurd | /i/ian+hunter/theatre+of+the+absurd_20066576.html | (ian hunter)
My tea turned seven shades darker
As I sit 'n' write these words
And london's gettin' paler
In my theatre of the absurd.
You figured for an evening
And you made it all worthwile.
It's seldom people have a job
And even rarer that I smile.
Play me some, play me some,
Play me brixton power.
Teach your children to be them
And never ever ours.
Play me some, play me some,
Play me brixton power.
Someone took the park away
But they left a lonely flower.
And if your songs be classics,
Throw them to the hurd.
Truth is where they came from
And not this theatre of the absurd.
Some say you wanted to play for me
But it's only what you've heard
That made you want to capture me
In your theatre of the absurd.
It was not me, I said myself
And you must do so, too.
I hope you have the strength to stay
When I'll be watchin' you.
So baby,
Play me some, play me some,
Play me brixton power.
Teach your children to be them
And never ever ours.
Play me some, play me some,
Play me brixton power.
Someone took the park away
But they left a lonely flower.
Oh when I got here back home tonight
Something within me stirred.
Oh it must have been a different kind of play
That touched my theatre of the absurd.
Now I'll be on my way alone
But an interesting thing occurred
See nobody ever shared too much
In my theatre of the absurd.
And there I was back in london,
Thought about history.
It was just like being in school again
But I felt something movin' in me.
Hearin' just a bit of the future,
Oh it's comin' and it's still blurred
And that's the only thing worth living for
In my theatre of the absurd.
Come on,
Play me some, play me some,
Play me brixton power.
Teach your children to be them
And never ever ours.
Oh play me some, play me some,
Play me brixton power.
Someone took the park away
But they left a lonely flower.
(beautiful)
Play me some, play me some,
Play me brixton power.
Play me some, play me some,
Play me brixton power.
(john, come on)
Play me some, play me some,
Play me brixton power.
Oh, play me some, (come on, eric) play me some,
Play me brixton power.
Oh, play me some, play me some,
Play me brixton power.

Ian Hunter | Too Much | /i/ian+hunter/too+much_20066535.html | All I ever wanted
Was to lose myself in you
All I ever needed
Was you to need me too
You're all I ever think about
I hunger for your touch
And all I ever wanted
Was you, is that too much?
I hate the pain of loving you
It happens all the time
I never needed anything or anybody
Until your eyes met mine
I'm waiting for your answer, babe
What's gonna become of us?
'cause all I ever wanted
Was you, is that too much?
It is too much to ask
That this man with a past
Could be happy at last
With a future like you
It is too much to ask
Is it too much of a task?
Am I going to fast for you?
Maybe you don't want me
I'm so scared of losing you
I never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity
Watch me screw up this one too
It's so hard to talk about love
I'm leaving now, oh, it's just
And all I ever wanted
Was you, is that too much?

Ian Hunter | Wild East | /i/ian+hunter/wild+east_20066610.html | Well it's Tuesday night
How I'd like to be inside at this time
Watchin' t.v. is killin' me
It's such a drag tonight
I feel like jason
Just found a rusty fleece
And the cyclops all laughin' at me
You can't tame wild east
Wild east wild east
Wild east wild east
Now some cynic from the methadone clinic
He keeps on bothering me
He writes all my lyrics backwards on diapers
And hangs 'em from the local trees
Watch out, white boy
Don't argue with a sawn off piece
I'm a crazy son, mama
I love the grease of wild east
Wild east wild east
Wild east wild east
Wild east wild east
Wild east wild east
Now Jezebel don't feel too well, she talks to Jane
'bout a one way conversation on a subway train
Hey! they took away her wallet and her valise
Love hate, love hate, love hate, love hate, wild east
Wild east wild east
Wild east wild east
Wild east wild east
Wild east come on crazy wild east

Ian Hunter | Wild 'n Free | /i/ian+hunter/wild+n+free_20066566.html | Wild 'n free wild 'n free
Wild 'n free wild 'n free
Oh! I'd never known what it was like to free
I always thought it was never true
I got a feeling I was lost in space
Did not like my face
Just wanted to be
Wild 'n free wild 'n free
Like a hurricane
Wild 'n free wild 'n free
Oh insanity's so insane
Wild 'n free wild 'n free
I ain't got no got no got no name
Wild 'n free wild 'n free
Don't want no ball and chain
Damn people telling me that I was thinking bad
Had me believing they was right
All they wanted was another slob
In some stinking job
That just ain't me I just want to be
W w w wild 'n free wild 'n free
Like a hurricane
Wild 'n free wild 'n free
Oh insanity's so in so insane
Wild 'n free wild 'n free
I ain't got no name
Wild 'n free wild 'n free
I don't I don't want to know a ball and chain
Just then I found out I was too broke to get out
So I took to the road no one was having me
I said don't want no handouts
Cause I'm making out
You ain't like me I just want to be
Uh uh uh wild 'n free
I tried to tell you babe but you never understood
I always tried to make you see
But you believed just what your old man said
He had you chained to his head
And its on tv tv tv tv
Want to be want to be want to be
Wild 'n free wild 'n free
Like a hurricane
Wild 'n free wild 'n free
Oh insanity's so insane
Wild 'n free wild 'n free
I ain't got no got no got no name
Wild 'n free wild 'n free
Don't want no ball and chain
Wild 'n free wild 'n free
Just like a ball a ball a ball of fire
Wild 'n free wild 'n free
Like it high its getting higher
Wild 'n free wild 'n free
Like some bolt from out the sky
Wild 'n free wild 'n free
Like some bullet
Say goodbye

Ian Hunter | You Nearly Did Me In | /i/ian+hunter/you+nearly+did+me+in_20066516.html | See lonely shadows - silver needles
Abandoned in the evening war
Lost children of the night - come catch the candle bright
I hear a hollow sound - falling to the ground - she's lost before she's found
Sad broken angels takin' rainbows
Out on the street for all to see
If we are the chosen few - what ever happened to
All those things we knew, if this is being free -
I'd rather search for me
You nearly did, you nearly did, you nearly did
You nearly did me in, you nearly did me in
And I need some place to hide - my weary anger down
Out on some misty distant highway
Feel like I though a million miles
Is my search nearly done - I think I see someone
I get the urge to run on blindly through the rain,
and I fool myself again
You nearly did, you nearly did, you nearly did
You nearly did me in, you nearly did me in
And I need some place to hide - my weary anger down
What ever happened to dignity
What ever happened to integrity
What ever happened to honesty
Well I'll tell you something baby - I feel the pain just like the sea
You nearly did, you nearly did, you nearly did
You nearly did me in, you nearly did me in
And I need some place to hide - my weary anger down

Ian Hunter | You Stepped Into My Dreams | /i/ian+hunter/you+stepped+into+my+dreams_10143455.html | (Ian Hunter)
(Transcribed by Colin Ford)
That's it baby, take one last look
We gotta go catch a plane
Then you won't die, and I won't die
But we won't ever be the same
Oh I can feel a mood coming down on me
Such a good thing disappears
I can sense the loss creeping up on us
And it's deeper than any tears I've known
You stepped into my dreams
You opened up the door
You stepped into my dreams
I want you back for more
You stepped into my dreams tonight
In the shadows of the night you're sorry
In the morning we was gone
Won't you blow a kiss to me baby
We both gotta be moving on
Sometimes you see a lover and she's made for love
But you let that lover slip by
You believe and yet she's so hard to get
And you never know the reasons why
She stepped into your dreams
She opened up your door
She stepped into your dreams
You want her so much more
She stepped into your dreams tonight yeah
Oh when you're doing what you're doing
What do you think of me babe
There ain't much else to say
In another time, in another place
Things might have turned out okay
I can feel a darkness I can never conceal
Sometimes I get just a little insane
I can feel emotions like the mighty oceans
They're driving me again, and I know
You stepped into my dreams
You opened up the door
You stepped into my dreams
I want you back for more
You stepped into my dreams
And I don't know what to do
I'm so scared of losing you.
