Mountains of Lhasa are feeling the rain
People are walking the Botella lanes
Preacher takes the school
One boy breaks a rule
Silly boy blue, blue, silly boy blue
Yak butter statues that melt in the sun
Cannot dissolve all the work youve not done
A chela likes to feel
That his overself pays the bill
Silly boy blue, blue, silly boy blue
You wish and wish, and wish again
You’ve tried so hard to fly
Youll never leave your body now
Youve got to wait to die
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
Silly boy blue, blue, silly boy blue
Child of the Tibet, you’re a gift from the sun
Reincarnation of one better man
The homeward road is long
Youve left your prayers and song
Silly boy blue, blue, silly boy blue
Silly boy blue, blue, silly boy blue
Child of the Tibet, youre a gift from the sun
Reincarnation of one better man
The homeward road is long
Youve left your prayers and song
Silly boy blue, blue, silly boy blue |
Like to take a cement fix
Be a standing cinema
Dress my friends up just for show
See them as they really are
Put a peephole in my brain
Two New Pence to have a go
Id like to be a gallery
Put you all inside my show
Andy Warhol looks a scream
Hang him on my wall
Andy Warhol, silver screen
Cant tell them apart at all
Andy walking, Andy tired
Andy take a little snooze
Tie him up when hes fast asleep
Send him on a pleasant cruise
When you wake up on the sea
Be sure to think of me and you
Hell think about paint
And hell think about glue
What a jolly boring thing to do
Andy Warhol looks a scream
Hang him on my wall
Andy Warhol, silver screen
Cant tell them apart at all
Andy Warhol looks a scream
Hang him on my wall
Andy Warhol, Silver Screen
Cant tell them apart at all
Playing to you on the courtesy of a piece of palm tree. I asked for lobster tail and they brought me palm tree, a piece of palm tree |
Oh yeah
I still dont know what I was waiting for
And time was running wild
A million dead-end streets
And every time I thought Id got it made
It seemed the taste was not so sweet
So I turned myself to face me
But Ive never caught a glimpse
Of how the others must see the faker
Im much too fast to take that test
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Ch-ch-changes
Dont want to be a richer man
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Ch-ch-changes
Just gonna have to be a different man
Time may change me
But I cant trace time
Oh yeah
I watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream
Of warm impermanence and
So the days float through my eyes
But still the days seem the same
And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
Theyre quite aware of what theyre going through
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Ch-ch-changes
Dont tell them to grow up and out of it
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Ch-ch-changes
Wheres your shame
Pretty soon youve left us up to our necks in it
Time may change me
But you cant trace time
Strange fascination, fascinating me
Ah, changes are taking the pace Im going through
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
Changes
Oh, look out you rock n rollers
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Oh changes
Pretty soon now youre gonna get older
Time may change me
But I cant trace time
I said that time may change me
But I cant trace time |
Hi, this is read-a-long with Richard Kimball from the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium, and the house lights are about to go down for you. Appearance of David Bowie |
Lets dip back into the murky past; this is a song I originally recorded-- its the first song I recorded as David Bowie in 1966, so... you wont know it very well, but its fast, its nice... it is nice, its called Cant Help Thinking About Me
Question-time that says I brought dishonour
My heads bowed in shame
It seems that Ive blackened the family name
My Mother says that she cant stand the neighbours talking
Ive gotta leave this home, pack my bags, start walking, yeah
Im guilty
I wish that I was sorry this time
I wish that I could pay for my crime
I cant help thinking about me
I cant help thinking about me
I cant help thinking about me
Remember when we used to go to church on Sundays
Id lie awake at night, terrified of school on Mondays
Its too late now
I wish I was a child again
I wish I felt secure again, but
I cant help thinking about me
I cant help thinking about me
Cant help thinking about me
As I pass a recreation ground
I remember my friends, always been found but I cant
I cant help thinking about me
I cant help thinking about me
I cant help thinking about me
Now I leave them all in the never never land
The station seems so cold the tickets in my hand
My girl calls my name
She says Hi Dave
Come back, drop in, see you around
If youre this way again
Im on my own
Ive got a long way to go
I hope I make it on my own
Cant help thinking about me
Cant help thinking about me
Cant help thinking about me
Cant help thinking about me
Cant help thinking about me
Cant help thinking about me
Cant help thinking about me
Cant help thinking about me |
Time takes a cigarette, puts it in your mouth
You pull on your finger, then another finger, then your cigarette
The wall-to-wall is calling, it lingers, then you forget
Oh oh, youre a rock n roll suicide
Youre too old to lose it, too young to choose it
And the clock waits so patiently on your song
You walk past a cafe but you dont eat when youve lived too long
Oh, no, no, no, youre a rock n roll suicide
Chev brakes are snarling as you stumble across the road
But the day breaks instead so you hurry home
Dont let the sun blast your shadow
Dont let the milk float ride your mind
Youre so natural, religiously unkind
Oh no love! Youre not alone
Youre watching yourself but youre too unfair
Youve got your head all tangled up
But if I could only make you care
Oh no love! Youre not alone
No matter what or who youve been
No matter when or where youve seen
All the knives seem to lacerate your brain
Ive had my share, Ill help you with the pain
Youre not alone!
All youve gotta do is just turn on me
Youre not alone
Just turn on with me
Youre not alone
Oh youre wonderful
And youre wonderful
Hey
Hey cause youre wonderful |
Theres so many stories I could tell you, I wish I could
Have more time to tell you things like—
The things I could tell you
Oh, you dont know the half of it
Its on Americas tortured brow
That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
And the workers have struck for fame
For Lennons on sale again
See the mice in their million hordes
From Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads
Rule Britannia is out of bounds
To my mother, my dog and clowns
But the film is a saddening bore
For Ive lived it ten times or more
Its about to be lived again
As I ask you to focus on
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh, man, look at those cavemen go
Its the freakiest show
Take a look at the lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh, man, wonder if hell ever know
Its the best selling show
Is there life on Mars?
Thank you, Michael
And welcome to Storytellers
Well, Id like to bring on, uh
The rest of the artists who will be working with us tonight
In ab— In about 1968
My then publisher, um, asked me if I would do, uh
An English lyric for a French song that he was managing at the time
Its called, um, Comme dhabitude
Sorry, Comme dhabitude
And I said Id have a— a crack at it
And I turned in
The pitifully awful titled Even A Fool Learns To Love
Which he rejected out of hand quite rightly, I feel
And it passed on to Paul Anka who did his own English lyric
And he called it, simply and effectively, My Way
Uh, so, in retaliation, haha, yeah, right
In retaliation, I wrote Life On Mars
But then I got my comeuppance
When miss Barbara Streisand decided to cover Mars
Going through one of her slightly more lost periods
She had her then-husband come hairdresser
Produce and arrange and probably blow-dry it
Anyway |
Well Annies pretty neat
She always eats her meat
Joey comes on awfully strong
Bet your life he’s putting us on
Oh lordy
Oh lordy
You know I need some loving
Move me, touch me
John, Im only dancing
She turns me on
But Im only dancing
She turns me on
But don’t get me wrong
Im only dancing
Shadow love was quick and keen
Lifes a well thumbed machine
Saw you watching from the stairs
Youre everyone that ever cared
Oh lordy
Oh lordy
You know I need some loving
Move me, touch me
John, Im only dancing
She turns me on
But Im only dancing
She turns me on
Dont get me wrong
Im only dancing
John, I’m only dancing
She turns me on
But I’m only dancing
She turns me on
Dont get me wrong
I’m only dancing
Uh... Thats Trevor Bolder on bass guitar...
And Woodie Woodmansey on drums...
And Mike Garson on piano
And thats Mick Ronson on the guitar |
Ah-shake-it-baby
Shake it, shake it
I feel like a sail-boat
Adrift on the sea
Its a brand new day
So when-you-gonna-phone me?
I could take you to heaven
I could spin you to hell
But Ill take you to New York
Its the place that I know well
Sitting on a flagstone talking to a faceless girl
Wondering what to say but my eyes do the talking so well
I duck and I sway -
I shoot at a full moon -
So whats my line? Shake it shake it baby
Oh shake it shake it, ooh
Because love is the answer
Loves talking to me
Id scream and Id fight for you
Youre better than money
Were the kind of people
Who can shake it
If were feeling blue
When youre feeling disconnected well
I sure know what to do
Ah shake it, baby
Ah shake it shake it
I duck and I sway -
I shoot at a full moon -
So whats my line?
Shake it shake it baby
Shake it, baby;
Shake it shake it
Ah shake it, baby;
Shake it
Shake it
Ah shake it, baby
Shake it shake it
I duck and I sway -
I shoot at a full moon -
So whats my line? Shake it shake it baby
Shake it shake it
Oh shake it shake it, baby |
This is the second song from hours... and this ones called Something in the Air; first time weve ever done this one ever, ever
Your coat and hat are gone
I really cant look at your little empty shelf
Tagged teddy bear
It feels like we never had a chance
Dont look me in the eye
We lay in each others arms
But the room is just an empty space
I guess we lived it out, theres something in the air
We smiled too fast then cant think of a thing to say
Lived with the best times
Now were left with the worst
Ive danced with you too long
And theres nothing left to say
Lets take what we can
I know you hold your head up high
Weve raced for the last time
A place of no return
But theres something in the air
Something in my eye
Ive danced with you too long, yeah
Something I have to say
Theres something in the air
Abracadoo, I lose you
We cant avoid the clash, the big mistake
Now were going to pay and pay
The sentence of our lives
Cant believe Im asking you to go
We used what we could to get the things we want, oh
I guess we lost each other on the way
I guess you know I never wanted anyone else than you
Lived all our best times
Now were left with the worst
Ive danced with you too long
You can say what you will, yeah
Say what you will
We raced for the last time
Well I know you hold your head up high
But theres nothing in our eyes
But theres something in the air
Theres something in my eye
Ive danced with you too long
Wasnt there something I have to say
But theres something in my eye
Theres something in the air
Ive danced with you too long
And theres something in the air
Thank you |
Shes a tongue twisting storm
She will come to the show tonight
Praying to the light machine
She wants my money, not my honey
Shes a funky thigh collector
Laying on electric dreams
So come on, come on
Weve really got a good thing going
Come on, come on
If you think were gonna make it
You better hang on to yourself
We cant dance, dont talk to much, just ball and play
But then we move around like tigers on vaseline
The bitter comes out better on a stolen guitar
Youre blessed, were the spiders from Mars
So come on, come on
Weve really got a good thing going
Come on, come on
If you think were gonna make it
You better hang on to yourself
So come on, come on
Weve really got a good thing going
Come on, come on
If you think were gonna make it
You better hang on to yourself |
Im an alligator
Im a mama-papa coming for you
Im a space invader
Ill be a rock n rollin bitch for you
Keep your mouth shut
Youre squawking like a pink monkey bird
And Im busting up my brains for the words

Put your ray gun to my head
Press your space face close to mine, love
Freak out in a moonage daydream, oh yeah

Breaking glass in your room again

Youre such a wonderful person
But you got problems oh-oh-oh-oh
Ill never touch you
Oh dont look on your carpet

I forgot what my father said
I forgot what he said
I forgot what my mother said
As we lay upon your bed
A city full of flowers
A city full of rain
I got seven days to live my life
Or seven ways to die
I forgot what my brother said
I forgot what he said
I dont regret anything at all
I remember how we wept
On a bridge of violent people
I was small enough to cry
I got seven days to live my life
Or seven ways to die
Hold my face before you
Still my trembling heart
Seven days to live my life
Or seven ways to die
The gods forgot they made me
So I forget them too
I listen to the shadows
I play among their graves
My heart was never broken
My patience never tried
I got seven days to live my life
Or seven ways to die
Seven days to live my life
Or seven ways to die
Seven
Seven
Seven
Seven
Seven
Seven
Seven
Seven
Seven

Shakey threw a party that lasted all night
Everybody drank a lot of something nice
There was an old fashioned band of married men
Looking up to me for encouragement - it was so-so
The ladies looked bad but the music was sad
No one took their eyes off Lorraine
She shimmied and she strolled like a Chicago moll
Her feathers looked better and better - it was so-so
Yea! it was time to unfreeze
When the Reverend Alabaster danced on his knees
Slam! so it wasnt a game
Cracking all the mirrors in shame
Watch that man! Oh honey, watch that man
He talks like a jerk but he could eat you with a fork and spoon
Watch that man! Oh honey, watch that man
He walks like a jerk
But hes only taking care of the room
Must be in tune
A Benny Goodman fan painted holes in his hands
So Shakey hung him up to dry
The pundits were joking the manholes were smoking
And every bottle battled with the reason why
The girl on the phone wouldnt leave me alone
A throw back from someones LP
A lemon in a bag played the Tiger Rag
And the bodies on the screen stopped bleeding
Yeah! I was shaking like a leaf
For I couldnt understand the conversation
Yeah! I ran to the street, looking for information
Watch that man! Oh honey, watch that man
He talks like a jerk but he could eat you with a fork and spoon
Watch that man! Oh honey, watch that man
He walks like a jerk
But hes only taking care of the room
Must be in tune
Watch that man
Watch that man
Watch that man
Watch that man |
Hey Jack, I better shake it off
Put her out of my head
The thinking of all, just another young girl last night
Oh brother! I left a woman
In that morning day
Been on that trip so many times
Good God, was really yesterday
Ive tried so many, many, many, many, many
Many ways
Ive lied and taken off into the day
Leaving another girl to
Weep over the breakfast tray
Loved her before I knew her name
Hit me! Jack, cause Im
Gone, love her way
Come back, my babe
Come back, my babe
Be holy again, I gave her
I gave her, maybe, maybe
Maybe, gotta give her, ooh baby, baby, baby
That kind of love, can only destroy
I gave her, maybe, maybe
Get it down if Im gonna be her baby, cos, baby
Gonna be me, its gonna be me
There was no rein to check me
When all those little things walked on by
Oh! but I couldnt feel this, stammer out a word
When that angel stuck in my mind
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Lookin for love wont hold me back
No
Im gonna love her way
Come back, my babe
Come back, my babe
Be holy again, I gave her
I gave her, maybe, maybe
Maybe, gotta give her, ooh baby, baby, baby
That kind of love, can only destroy
I gave her, maybe, maybe
Get it down if Im gonna be her baby, cos, baby
Gonna be me, its gonna be me
Just playing that latest record
Waitin for the telephone to ring
Wiped out and bitter, with a
Bag clutched in her hand
All the cars sound like theyre
Pulling in the drive
No, no, no, no, no
I see her now
A little tear running down her check
Laugh! Let down
People looking for me
I want to race down her street
And knock hard, hard, hard on the door til
Until she breaks down in my arms like a
Treasured toy and I feel her pain
Ill be so strong, again and again
Come back my baby
Im hold you again, Ill take you
Ill take you, baby, baby, baby
Baby, were gonna have, ooh baby, baby, baby
My kind of love, can only bring you joy, Im gonna
Yeah, baby, baby, yeah, Ill give you baby, baby, baby
Cos its gonna be me, its gonna be me
Its gonna be me
Ooh
Bless you |
As they pulled you out of the oxygen tent
You asked for the latest party
With your silicone hump and your ten inch stump
Dressed like a priest she was, Todd Browning beast you was
Crawling down the alley on your hands and knees
Im sure youre not protected for its plain to see
The Diamond Dogs are poachers and they hide behind trees
Hunt you to the ground, they will, mannequins with kill appeal
Ill keep a friend serene
Oh baby, come on to me
Well, shes come, been and gone
Come out of the garden, baby
Ill catch your death in the fog
Young girl, call him a Diamond Dogs
Young girl, call him a Diamond Dogs
Now Halloween Jack is a real cool cat
And he lives on top of Manhattan Chase
The elevators broke so he slides down a rope
Onto the street below, go Tarzie, go man, go
Meets his sweetest little hussy with his ghost town approach
His face is sans feature but she wears a diamond broach
Sweetly reminiscent, something mother used to wear
Wrecked up and paralyzed, Diamond Dogs are sable-ized
Ill keep a friend serene
Oh baby, come on to me
Well, shes come, been and gone
Come out of the garden, baby
Ill catch your death in the fog
Young girl, call him a Diamond Dogs
Young girl, call him a Diamond Dogs
Call him a Diamond Dog
Call him a Diamond Dog
In the year of the scavenger, the season of the witch
Sashay on the boardwalk, scurry to the ditch
Just another future song, lovely little kitch
Theres gonna be sorrow, try and wake tomorrow
Ill keep a friend serene
Oh baby, come on to me
Well, shes come, been and gone
Come out of the garden, baby
Ill catch your death in the fog
Young girl, call him a Diamond Dogs
Young girl, call him a Diamond Dogs
Call him a Diamond Dog
Call him a Diamond Dog
Call him a Diamond Dog |
Rubber Band
Theres a rubber band that plays tunes out of tune
In the library garden Sunday afternoon
While a little chappie waves a golden wand
Rubber Band
In 1910 I was so handsome and so strong
My moustache was stiffly waxed and one foot long
And I loved a girl while you played teatime tunes
Dear Rubber Band, youre playing my tune out of tune
Oh
Rubber Band
Wont you play a haunting theme again to me
While I eat my scones and drink my cup of tea
The sun is warm but its a lonely afternoon
Oh, play that theme
Rubber Band
How I wish that I could join your Rubber Band
We could play in lively parks throughout the land
And one Sunday afternoon, Id find my love
Rubber Band
In the 14-18 war I went to sea
Thought my Sunday love was waiting home for me
And now shes married to the leader of your band, oh
Oh yeah... I hope you break your baton |
Oh you, you walk on past
Your lips cut a smile on your face
To the cage, to the cage
She was a beauty in a cage
Its too, too high a price
To drink rotting wine from your hands
Get me to a doctor’s, Ive been told
Someones back in town, the chips are down
I just cut and blackout
I’m under Japanese influence and my honours at stake
The weathers grim, theres ice on the cages
Me, Im Robin Hood, and I puff on my cigarette
Panthers are steaming, stalking, screaming
If you wont stay tonight
I will take that plane tonight
Ive nothing to lose, nothing to gain
Ill kiss you in the rain, kiss you in the rain
Kiss you in the rain, in the rain
Get me to the doctor
Get me off the streets
Get me to my feet
Hot air gets me into a blackout
Get me off the streets
Get some protection
Oh get me on my feet
Oh get me off the streets
Get me some protection
Oh get me on my feet
Give me some direction
While the streets block off
Getting some skin exposure to the blackout
Get me on my feet
Get some direction
Oh get me on my feet
Get me off the streets
Get some protection
Get me to my feet
Give me some direction |
Im an alligator
Im a mama-papa coming for you

The return of the Thin White Duke
Throwing darts in lovers eyes
Here are we, one magical moment
Such is the stuff, from where dreams are woven
Bending sound, dredging the ocean
Lost in my circle
Here am I, flashing no color
Tall in this room overlooking the ocean
Here are we, one magical movement
From Kether to Malkuth
There are you, drive like a demon
From station to station
The return of the Thin White Duke
Throwing darts in lovers’ eyes
The return of the Thin White Duke
Throwing darts in lovers eyes
The return of the Thin White Duke
Making sure white stains
Once there were mountains on mountains
And once there were sunbirds to soar with
And once I could never be down
Got to keep searching and searching
And oh, what will I be believing
And who will connect me with love?
Wonder who, wonder who, wonder when
Have you sought fortune, evasive and shy?
Drink to the men who protect you and I
Drink, drink, drain your glass, raise your glass high
Its not the side-effects of the cocaine
I’m thinking that it must be love
Its too late to be grateful
Its too late to be late again
Its too late to be hateful
The European canon is near
I must be only one in a million
I wont let the day pass without her
Its too late to be grateful
Its too late to be late again
Its too late to be hateful
The European canon is here
Should I believe that I’ve been stricken?
Does my face show some kind of glow?
It’s too late to be grateful
Its too late to be late again
It’s too late to be hateful
The European canon is here, yes its here
Its too late, Its too late
It’s too late, Its too late
Its too late
The European canon is near
Its not the side-effects of the cocaine
Im thinking that it must be love
Its too late to be grateful
Its too late to be late again
Its too late to be hateful
The European canon is here
I must be only one in a million
I wont let the day pass without her
Its too late to be grateful
Its too late to be late again
Its too late to be hateful
The European canon is here, yes its here
Should I believe that Ive been stricken?
Does my face show some kind of glow?
Its too late to be grateful
Its too late to be late again
Its too late to be hateful
The European canon is here, yes its here
Its too late, Its too late
Its too late, Its too late
Its too late
The European canon is here |
This is not America
Sha La La La
A little piece of you
A little peace in me
Will die
For this is not America
Blossom fails to bloom this season
Promise not to stare
Too long
For this is not a miracle
There was a time
A storm that blew so pure
For this could be the biggest sky
And I could have the faintest idea
For this is not America
Sha La La La
Sha La La La
Sha La La La
This is not America
This is not
Sha La La La
Snowman melting from the inside
Falcon spirals
To the ground
So bloody red tomorrows clouds
A little piece of you
The little piece in me
Will die
For this is not a miracle
For this is not America
There was a time
A wind that blew so young
For this could be the biggest sky
And I could have the faintest idea
For this is not America
Sha La La La

You hear the applause
And thats a bid for David Bowie to come back on
And they are coming back on
Were at the Santa Monica Civic in 1972
First of two performances in town
Theyre back on stage
Theyll perform some more
Thats standing ovation |
Ooh-ah
Ooh-ah
Ooh-ah
Gorgeous girls are bound to meet
To talk of stars and kings and feet
Through the chromosomes of space and time
Me Im fast like bad infection
Gasping for my resurrection
Swear to me in times of war and stress
Telling lies
Ooh-ah

Starting fires
Ooh-ah
Telling lies

Shadow falls in shrinking smiles
See me poised at the happy games
Standing in the mouth of all thats pure
Come straggling in your tattered remnants
You come to me with tears and blame
Im your future, I am tomorrow, I am the end
Telling lies

Wake up you sleepy head
Put on some clothes, shake up your bed
Put another log on the fire for me
Ive made some breakfast and coffee
Look out my window and what do I see
A crack in the sky and a hand reaching down to me
All the nightmares came today
And it looks as though theyre here to stay
What are we coming to
No room for me, no fun for you
I think about a world to come
Where the books were found by the Golden ones
Written in pain, written in awe
By a puzzled man who questioned what we were here for
All the strangers came today
And it looks as though theyre here to stay
Oh, you Pretty Things
Dont you know youre driving your Mamas and Papas insane?
Oh, you Pretty Things
Dont you know youre driving your Mamas and Papas insane
Let me make it plain
You gotta make way for the Homo Superior
Look out at your children
See their faces in golden rays
Dont kid yourself, they belong to you
Theyre the start of the coming race
The earth is a bitch, weve finished our news
Homo Sapiens have outgrown their use
All the strangers came today
And it looks as though theyre here to stay
Oh, you Pretty Things
Dont you know youre driving your Mamas and Papas insane
Oh, you Pretty Things
Dont you know youre driving your Mamas and Papas insane
Let me make it plain
Gotta make way for the Homo Superior |
This is, uh, this is very very old: 1974, were going to now. You have to imagine: lots of hair, more makeup than Ive got on, much more makeup... what else? What shall I put on tonight? Nothing on, same old clothes, Emperors New Clothes in this song; all about watching video to try to understand how to do sex. What a ridiculous subject for a song, its called Drive-In Saturday
Let me put my arms around your head
It dont matter, here instead
Dont forget to turn on the light
Dont laugh, Babe, itll be alright
Pour me out another phone
Well ring and see if your friends are home
Perhaps the strange ones in the dome
Can lend us a book, we can read up alone
And try to get it on like once before
When people stared in Jaggers eyes and scored
Like the video films we saw
His name was always Buddy
And hed shrug and ask to stay
Shed sigh like Twig the Wonder Kid
And turn her head away
Shes uncertain if she likes him
But she knows she really loves him
Its a crash course for the ravers
Its a drive-in Saturday
Jung the foreman prays at work
That neither hands nor limbs would burst
Hard enough to keep formation
Amid this fall out saturation
Cursing at the Astronette
That stands in steel by his cabinet
Hes crashing out with Sylvian
The bureau Supply for ageing men
With snorting head he gazes to the shore
Where once had raged the sea that rages no more
Like the video films we saw
His name was always Buddy
And hed shrug and ask to stay
And shed sigh like Twig the Wonder Kid
And turn her face away
Shes uncertain if she likes him
But she knows she really loves him
Its a crash course for the ravers
Its a drive-in Saturday
Saturday
Sat-sat-sat-sat-saturday
Its a
Yes a, yes a, yes a Saturday
Drive-in Saturday
Drive-in Saturday
Drive-in Saturday
Thank you very much |

In the port of Amsterdam, theres a sailor who sings
Of the dreams that he brings from the wide open sea
In the port of Amsterdam, theres a sailor who sleeps
While the river bank weeps to the old willow tree
In the port of Amsterdam, theres a sailor who dies
Full of beer, full of cries in a drunken town fight
In the port of Amsterdam, theres a sailor whos born
On a hot muggy morn by the dawns early light
In the port of Amsterdam, where the sailors all meet
Theres a sailor who eats only fish heads and tails
And hell show you his teeth that have rotted too soon
That can haul up the sails, that can swallow the moon
And he yells to the cook with his arms open wide
Hey! Bring me more fish, throw it down by my side
And he wants so to belch but hes too full to try
So he stands up and laughs and he zips up his fly
In the port of Amsterdam, you can see sailors dance
Paunches bursting their pants, grinding women to porch
Theyve forgotten the tune that their whiskey voice croaked
Splitting the night with the roar of their jokes
And they turn and they dance and they laugh and they lust
Till the rancid sound of the accordion bursts
And then out of the night with their pride in their pants
And the sluts that they tow underneath the street lamps
In the port of Amsterdam, theres a sailor who drinks
And he drinks and he drinks and he drinks once again
Hell drink to the health of the whores of Amsterdam
Whove given their bodies to a thousand other men
Yeah, theyve bargained their virtue, their goodness all gone
For a few dirty coins, well, he just cant go on
Throws his nose to the sky and he aims it up above
And he pisses like I cry on the unfaithful love
In the port of Amsterdam
In the port of Amsterdam |
Its a god-awful small affair
To the girl with the mousy hair
And her mummy is yelling, No!
And her father has told her to go
But her friend is nowhere to be seen
As she walks through the sunken dream
To the seat with the clearest view
And shes hooked to the silver screen
But the film is a saddening bore
Cause shes lived it ten times or more
Its about to be lived again
As they ask her to focus on
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man! Look at those cavemen go
Its the freakiest show
Take a look at the lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh man! Wonder if hell ever know
Hes in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars?
Its on Americas tortured brow
Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
And the workers have struck for fame
Cause Lennons on sale again
See the mice in their million hordes
From Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads
Rule Britannia is out of bounds
To my mother, my dog, and clowns
But the film is a saddening bore
Cause I wrote it ten times or more
Its about to be writ again
As they ask you to focus on
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man! Look at those cavemen go
Its the freakiest show
Take a look at the lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh man! Wonder if hell ever know
Hes in this best selling show
Is there life on Mars?

Its another bad
A small Jean Genie snuck off to the city
Strung out on lasers and slash back blazers and
Ate all our razors while pulling the waiters
Talking bout Monroe and walking on Snow White
New Yorks a go-go, and everything tastes nice
Poor Jean Genie
The Jean Genie lives on his back
The Jean Genie loves chimney stacks
hes outrageous, he screams and he bawls
The Jean Genie, let yourself go
Sits like a man, but he smiles like a reptile
She loves him, she loves him, but just for a short while
Cracks in the sand, she wont let go his hand
He says hes a beautician and sells you nutrition
And keeps all your dead hair for making up underwear
Poor Jean Genie
Ohhh
The Jean Genie lives on his back
The Jean Genie loves chimney stacks
hes outrageous, he screams and he bawls
The Jean Genie, let yourself go
Hes so simple minded, he cant drive his module
He bites on the neon and sleeps in the capsule
Loves to be loved
Loves to be loved
The Jean Genie lives on his back
The Jean Genie loves chimney stacks
hes outrageous, he screams and he bawls
The Jean Genie, let yourself go
Go
The Jean Genie lives on his back
The Jean Genie loves chimney stacks
hes outrageous, he screams and he bawls
The Jean Genie, let yourself go
Go
Oh, go |
See these eyes so green
I can stare for a thousand years
Colder than the moon
Oh, its been so long
And I’ve been putting out fire with gasoline
Feel my blood enraged
Its just the fear of losing you
Dont you know my name
Well, you been so long
See these eyes so red
Red like jungle burning bright
Those who feel me near
Pull the blinds and change their minds
Still this pulsing night
A plague I call a heartbeat
Just be still with me
You wouldn’t believe what Ive been through
Youve been so long
Well its been so long
And Ive been putting out fire with gasoline
Putting out fire with gasoline
See these tears so blue
An ageless heart that can never mend
These tears can never dry
A judgement made can never bend
See these eyes so green
I can stare for a thousand years
Just be still with me
You wouldnt believe what Ive been through
Youve been so long
Well, it’s been so long
And I’ve been putting out fire with gasoline
Putting out fire with gasoline
Ive been putting out fire with gasoline, with gasoline |
Back into the funhouse
Music is sublime

In the funhouse
In the funhouse

Back into the funhouse
My dreamdogs have arrived
My summer turns to fall
And I’ll miss you
We’ll show you
She’ll show me
We’ll show you
She’ll show me
Really good time
Really good time |
This girl is made of lipstick
Powder and paint
Sees the pictures of herself
Every magazine on every shelf
This girl is maid of Bond Street
Hailing cabs, lunches with executives
Gleaming teeth sip aperitifs
This girl is a lonely girl
Takes the train from Paddington to Oxford Circus
Buys the Daily News
But passengers dont smile at her, don’t smile at her
This girl is made of loneliness
A broken heart
For the boy that she once knew
Doesnt want to know her any more
And this girl is a lonely girl
Every thing she wants is hers
But she cant make it with the boy she really wants to be with
All the time, to love, all the time
This boy is made of envy
Jealousy
He doesn’t have a limousine
Really wants to be a star himself
This girl, her world is made of flashlights and films
Her cares are scraps on the cutting room floor
And maids of Bond Street drive round in chauffered cars
Maids of Bond Street picture clothes, eyes of stars
Maids of Bond Street shouldnt have worldly cares
Maids of Bond Street shouldnt have love affairs |
I, I will be king
And you, you will be my queen
Nothing keep us together
We can beat them just for one day
We can be heroes just for one day
And you, you can be mean
And I, Ill drink all the time
Cause were lovers, and that is a fact
Yes, were lovers, and that is that
Though nothing keep us together
We can beat them just for one day
We can be heroes forever and ever
What dyou say?
Hey!
And I, I wish you could swim
Like the dolphins, likе dolphins can swim
And nothing, will drive them away
We can bеat them just for one day
Oh, we can be heroes just for one day
I, I will be king
And you will be queen
Nothing will keep us together
We can be heroes, just for one day
Oh, we can be us just for one day
I, I can remember
Standing by the wall
And the guns shot above our heads
And we kissed as though nothing could fall
And the shame was on the other side
Oh, we can beat them just for one day
Then we could be heroes just for one day
We can be heroes just for one day
We can be heroes
No, nothing, will keep us together
Maybe were lying, then you better not stay
We can be heroes just for one day Alright, Martin!
We can be heroes
Just for one day
Just for one day
That ones for David. |

Here is the news
According the latest world population survey
The figures have reached danger point, my god
London 15 million 75 thousand
New York 80 million
Paris 15 million and 30
China 1000 million
Billington-Spa: lots
My studies include exophagy
I formed my own society
To crush the power of fecundity
The world will overpopulate
Unless you claim infertility
So who will buy a drink for me, your Messiah
We are not your friends
We dont give a damn for what youre saying
Were here to live our lives
I propose to give the pill
Free of charge to those that feel
That they are not infertible
The crops are few, the cattle gone
Theres only one way to linger on
So who will buy a drink for me, your
Messiah
Achtung, achtung, these are your orders
Anyone found guilty of consuming more than their
Allotted amount of air
Will be slaughtered and cremated
One only cubic foot of air is
I have prepared a document, legalising mass abortion
We will turn a blind eye to infanticide
You dont seem to hear me clear
Do I talk about your sphere?
Let me explain my project dear
Show you how Ill save the world
Or let it die within the year
Why do you look that way at me, your messiah
We are hungry men
We dont give a damn for what youre saying
Were here to eat you |
Hot tram, loved you so
Youve got your mother in a whirl
Shes not sure if youre a boy or a girl
Hey babe, your hairs alright
Hey babe, lets go out tonight
You like me, and I like it all
We like dancing and we look divine
You love bands when theyre playing hard
You want more and you want it fast
They put you down, they say Im wrong
You tacky thing, you put them on
Rebel Rebel, youve torn your dress
Rebel Rebel, your face is a mess
Rebel Rebel, how could they know?
Hot tramp, I loved you so!
Rebel Rebel, youve torn your dress
Rebel Rebel, your face is a mess
Rebel Rebel, how could they know?
Hot tramp, I loved you so!
Youve torn your dress, your face is a mess
You cant get enough, but enough aint the test
Youve got your transmission and your live wire
You got your cue line and a handful of ludes
You wanna be there when they count up the dudes
And I love your dress
Youre a juvenile success
Because your face is a mess
So how could they know?
I said, how could they know?
Rebel, rebel
Rebel, rebel |
Ground Control to Major Tom
Ground Control to Major Tom
Take your protein pills
And put your helmet on
Ground Control to Major Tom
Commencing countdown
Engines on
Check ignition
And may Gods love be with you
This is Ground Control to Major Tom
Youve really made the grade
And the papers want to know whose shirt you wear
Now its time to leave the capsule if you dare
This is Major Tom to Ground Control
Im stepping through the door
And Im floating in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today
For here am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the world
Planet Earth is blue
And theres nothing I can do
Though Im past one hundred thousand miles
Im feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Tell my wife I love her very much
She knows
Ground Control to Major Tom
Your circuits dead, theres something wrong
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you
Here am I floating round my tin can
Far above the moon
Planet Earth is blue
And theres nothing I can do |
Solemn faced
The village settles down
Undetected by the stars
And the hangman plays the mandolin before he goes to sleep
And the last thing on his mind
Is the Wild Eyed Boy imprisoned
Beneath the covered wooden shaft
Folds the rope
Into its bag
Blows his pipe of smolders
Blankets smoke into the room
And the day will end for some
As the night begins for one
Staring through the message in his eyes
Lies a solitary son
From the mountain called Freecloud
Where the eagle dare not fly
And the patience in his sigh
Gives no indication
For the townsmen to decide
So the village Dreadful yawns
Pronouncing gross diversion
As the label for the dog
Oh Its the madness in his eyes
As he breaks the night to cry:
Its really Me
Really You
And really Me
Its so hard for us to really be
Really You
And really Me
Youll lose me though Im always
Really free
And the mountain moved its eyes
To the world of realize
Where the snow had saved a place
For the Wild Eyed Boy
From Freecloud
And the village Dreadful cried
As the rope began to rise
For the smile stayed on the face
Of the Wild Eyed Boy
From Freecloud
And the women once proud
Clutched the heart of the crowd
As the boulders smashed down from the mountains hand
And the Magic in the stare
Of the Wild Eyed Boy said
Stop, Freecloud
They wont think to cut me down
But the cottages fell
Like a playing card hell
And the tears on the face
Of the Wise Boy
Came tumbling down
To the rumbling ground
And the missionary mystic of peace/love
Stumbled back to cry among the clouds
Kicking back the pebbles
From the Freecloud mountain

Will you stay in our lovers story?
If you stay you won’t be sorry
Cause we believe in you
Soon youll grow, so take a chance
With a couple of kooks hung up on romancing
Will you stay in our lovers’ story?
If you stay you wont be sorry
Cause we believe in you
Soon youll grow, so take a chance
With a couple of kooks hung up on romancing
We bought a lot of things to keep you warm and dry
And a funny old crib on which the paint wont dry
I bought you a pair of shoes
A trumpet you can blow and a book of rules
On what to say to people when they pick on you
Cause if you stay with us youre going to be pretty kooky too
Will you stay in our lovers story?
If you stay you won’t be sorry
’Cause we believe in you
Soon youll grow, so take a chance
With a couple of kooks hung up on romancing
And if you ever have to go to school
Remember how they messed up this old fool
Don’t pick fights with the bullies or the cads
Cause Im not much cop at punching other peoples Dads
And if the homework brings you down
Then we’ll throw it on the fire and take the car downtown
Will you stay in our lovers story?
If you stay you wont be sorry
Cause we believe in you
Soon youll grow, so take a chance
With a couple of kooks hung up on romancing
Will you stay in our lovers story?
If you stay you wont be sorry
Cause we believe in you
Soon youll grow, so take a chance
With a couple of kooks hung up on romancing |
Baby, baby, brush the dust of youth from off your shoulder
Because the years of fretting days is right behind you now
Dont return to fields of green where rainbow secrets were told
Place your ragged doll with all the toys and things and deeds
I will show you games where the winner never wins
Let your hair hang down, wear the dress your mother wore
Let me sleep beside you
Lock away your childhood and throw away the key
For now the streets and city sounds will burn your eyes as coals
We shall drink the oldest wine and velvet skies will linger
Child, youre a woman now, your heart and soul are free
I will hold a lighted that lamp and we shall walk together
Let your hair hang down, wear the dress your mother wore
Let me sleep beside you
Your darkened eyes throw mystery, but your lips are void of history
You could not imagine that it could happen this way, could you
I will give you dreams and Ill tell you things youll like to hear
I will show you games where the winner never wins
Let your hair hang down, wear the dress your mother wore
Let me sleep beside you
Let me sleep beside you |
If there is something
That I might find
Look around corners
Try to find peace of mind, I say
Where would you go
If you were me?
Trying to keep a straight course is not easy
Somebody special
Looking at me
Same kind of reaction
Wanted to cry with me
If there are many
Too easy to say
When its love
Its just a game-ame-ame-ame
I would do anything for you
I would come all day
I would swim all the oceans blue
I would walk a thousand miles
Reveal my secrets
More than enough for me to share
I will put roses around your door
Sit in the garden
Growing potatoes by the score
Shake your head girl, with your ponytail
Takes me right back
Throw your precious gifts into the air
Watch them fall down
Your love - could feel you put them on the ground
It used to fall apart
Your love - could feel you put them on the ground
The hills were higher
Your love - could feel you put them on the ground
The trees were taller then
Your love - could feel you put them on the ground
The grass was greener
Your love - could feel you put them on the ground
It use to fall apart |
All of my life Ive tried so hard
Doing my best with what I had
Nothing much happened all the same
Something about me stood apart
A whisper of hope that seemed to fail
Maybe Im born right out of my time
Breaking my life in two
Throw me tomorrow
Now that Ive really got a chance
Throw me tomorrow
Everythings falling into place
Throw me tomorrow
Seeing my past to let it go
Throw me tomorrow
Only for you I dont regret
That I was Thursdays child
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday born I was
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday born I was
Sometimes I cried my heart to sleep
Shuffling days and lonesome nights
Sometimes my courage fell to my feet
Lucky old sun is in my sky
Nothing prepared me for your smile
Lighting the darkness of my soul
Innocence in your arms
Throw me tomorrow
Now that Ive really got a chance
Throw me tomorrow
Everythings falling into place
Throw me tomorrow
Seeing my past to let it go
Throw me tomorrow
Only for you I dont regret
That I was Thursdays child
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday born I was
Thursdays child
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday born I was
Thursdays child
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday born I was
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday born I was
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday born I was
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday born I was |
Didnt know what time it was and the lights were low
I leaned back on my radio
Some cat was layin down some rock n roll
Then the loud sound did seem to fade
Came back like a slow voice on a wave of phase
Theres a starman waiting in the sky
Hed like to come and meet us
But he thinks hell blow our minds
Theres a starman waiting in the sky
He told us not to blow it
Cause he thinks its all worthwhile
He told me:
Let the children lose it
Let the children use it
Let the children boogie
I had to phone someone so I picked on you
Hey, thats far out so you heard him too
Switch on the TV, we may pick him up on channel two
Look out your window I can see his light
If we can sparkle, he may land tonight
Dont tell your papa or hell get us locked up in fright
Theres a starman waiting in the sky
Hed like to come and meet us
But he thinks hell blow our minds
Theres a starman waiting in the sky
He told us not to blow it
Cause he thinks its all worthwhile
He told me:
Let the children lose it
Let the children use it
Let all the children boogie
Theres a starman waiting in the sky
Hed like to come and meet us
But he thinks hell blow our minds
Theres a starman waiting in the sky
He told us not to blow it
Cause he thinks its all worthwhile
Theres a starman waiting in the sky
Hed like to come and meet us
But he thinks hell blow our minds
Theres a starman waiting in the sky
Hed like to come and meet us
But he thinks hell blow our minds |
Well shes a tongue twisting storm
Shell come to the show tonight
Praying to the light machine
She wants my honey not my money
Shes a funky-thigh collector
Laying on electric dreams
Well come on, come on
Weve really got a good thing going
Well come on, well come on
If you think were going to make it
You better hang on to yourself
We cant dance, we dont talk much
We just ball and play
But then we move like tigers on Vaseline
You know the bitter comes out better on a stolen guitar
Youre the Blessed
Were The Spiders From Mars
Yeah, come on, come on
Weve really got a good thing going
Well come on, well come on
If you think were going to make it
You better hang on to yourself
Come on
Lay it on
Well come on, come on
Weve really got a good thing going
Well come on, well come on
If you think were going to make it
You better hang on to yourself
Well come on, come on
Weve really got a good thing going
Well come on, well come on
If you think were going to make it

Im going home
Ive been gone much too long
She said she missed me
Since I been gone
Ill be back soon
Aint no doubt
Cause she said she wanted my loving, my loving
No holding back Im going home
No holding back Im going home
Im going stateside with my convictions
No holding back Im going home
No holding back Im going home
Im going stateside with my convictions
I said Im coming home soon
I dont know when
It will be sometime soon
Sooner than
I thought Id be
I thought Id be
I thought Id be stateside sooner than later
Marilyn inflatables home on the range
Where the living is easy on a horse with no name
Kennedy convertibles home on the range
Where the suffering comes easy on a blonde with no brain
Im going stateside
Im going stateside
Im going home
Its been so long
She said she missed me
And all the fun weve had
I think it be the best way
She said she missed me in
Every, every way, so
No holding back Im going home
No holding back Im going home
Im going stateside with my convictions
No holding back Im going home
No holding back Im going home
Im going stateside with my convictions
Ive been gone so long
Ive been gone, Ive been gone
Im missing you
Marilyn inflatables home on the range
Where the living is easy on a horse with no name
Kennedy convertibles home on the range
Where the suffering comes easy on a ten dollar raise
Im going stateside
Im going stateside |

Here am I, floating round my tin can
Far above the Moon
Planet Earth is blue

Time takes a cigarette, puts it in your mouth
You pull on your finger, then another finger, then your cigarette
The wall-to-wall is calling, it lingers, then you forget
Oh oh, oh, oh, youre a rock n roll suicide
Youre too old to lose it, too young to choose it
And the clock waits so patiently on your song
You walk past a cafe but you dont eat when youve lived too long
Oh, no, no, no, youre a rock n roll suicide
Chev brakes are snarling as you stumble across the road
But the day breaks instead so you hurry home
Dont let the sun blast your shadow
Dont let the milk float ride your mind
Youre so natural - religiously unkind
Oh no, love! Youre not alone
Youre watching yourself but youre too unfair
You got your head all tangled up
But if I could only make you care
Oh no, love! Youre not alone
No matter what or who youve been
No matter when or where youve seen
All the knives seem to lacerate your brain
Ive had my share, Ill help you with the pain
Youre not alone!
Just turn on with me and youre not alone
Lets turn on with me and youre not alone
Lets turn on and be not alone
Gimme your hands cause youre wonderful
Gimme your hands cause youre wonderful
Oh, gimme your hands |
Stone love - she kneels before the grave
A brave son - who gave his life
To save the slogan
That hovers between the headstone and her eyes
For they penetrate her grieving
New love - a boy and girl are talking
New words - that only they can share in
New words - a love so strong it tears their hearts
To sleep - through the fleeting hours of morning
Love is careless in its choosing
Sweeping over cross a baby
Love descends on those defenseless
Idiot love will spark the fusion
Inspirations have I none
Just to touch the flaming dove
All I have is my love of love
And love is not loving
Soul love - the priest that tastes the word and
Told of love - and how my God on high is
All love - though reaching up my loneliness
Evolves, by the blindness that surrounds him
Love is careless in its choosing
Sweeping over cross a baby
Love descends on those defenseless
Idiot love will spark the fusion
Inspirations have I none
Just to touch the flaming dove
All I have is my love of love
And love is not loving |
Time, hes waiting in the wings
He speaks of senseless things
His script is you and me, boy
Time, he flexes like a whore
Falls wanking to the floor
His trick is you and me, boy
Time, in Quaaludes and red wine
Demanding Billy Dolls
And other friends of mine
Take your time
The sniper in the brain
Regurgitating drain
Incestuous and vain
And many other last names
Well, I look at my watch it says 9:25 and I think
Oh God! Im still alive.
We should be on by now
We should be on by now
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La
You are not a victim
You just scream with boredom!
You! are not evicting time
Ow!
Chimes, goddamn, youre looking old
Youll freeze and catch a cold
Cause youve left your coat behind
Take your time
Breaking up is hard, but keeping dark is hateful
I had so many dreams
I had so many breakthroughs
But you, my love, were kind
But love has left you dreamless
The door to dreams was closed
Your park was real and dreamless
Perhaps youre smiling now
Smiling through this darkness
But all I had to give was guilt for dreaming
We should be on by now
We should be on by now
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

Yeah, time! |
I bless you madly
Sadly as I tie my shoes
I love you badly
Just in time, at times, I guess
Because of you I need to rest
Because its you
That sets the test
So much has gone
And little is new
And as the sparrow sings
Dawn chorus for
Someone else to hear
The Thinker sits alone growing older
And so bitter
I gave Them life
I gave Them all
They drained my very soul
...dry
I crushed my heart
To ease Their pains
No thought for me remains there
Nothing can They spare
What of me?
Who praised Their efforts
To be free?
Words of strength and care
And sympathy
I opened doors
That would have blocked Their way
I braved Their cause to guide
For little pay
I ravaged at my finance just for Those
Those whose claims were steeped in peace, tranquility
Those who said a new world, new ways ever free
Those whose promises stretched in hope and grace for me
I bless you madly
Sadly as I tie my shoes
I love you badly
Just in time, at times, I guess
Because of you I need to rest
Because its you
That sets the test
So much has gone
And little is new
And as the sunrise stream
Flickers on me
My friends talk
Of glory, untold dream, where all is God and God is just a word
We had a friend, a talking man
Who spoke of many powers that he had
Not of the best of men, but Ours
We used him
We let him use his powers
We let him fill Our needs
Now We are strong
And the road is coming to its end
Now the damned have no time to make amends
No purse of token fortune stands in Our way
The silent guns of love
Will blast the sky
We broke the ruptured structure built of age
Our weapons were the tongues of crying rage
Where money stood
We planted seeds of rebirth
And stabbed the backs of fathers
Sons of dirt
Infiltrated business cesspools
Hating through Our sleeves
Yea, and We slit the Catholic throat
Stoned the poor
On slogans such as
Wish You Could Hear
Love Is All We Need
Kick Out The Jams
Kick Out Your Mother
Cut Up Your Friend
Screw Up Your Brother or Hell Get You In the End
And We Know the Flag of Love is from Above
And We Can Force You to Be Free
And We Can Force You to Believe
And I close my eyes and tighten up my brain
For I once read a book in which the lovers were slain
For they knew not the words of the Free States refrain
It said:
I believe in the Power of Good
I Believe in the State of Love
I Will Fight For the Right to be Right
I Will Kill for the Good of the Fight for the Right to be Right
And I open my eyes to look around
And I see a child laid slain
On the ground
As a love machine lumbers through desolation rows
Ploughing down man, woman, listening to its command
But not hearing anymore
Not hearing anymore
Just the shrieks from the old rich
And I Want to Believe
In the madness that calls Now
And I want to Believe
That a lights shining through
Somehow
And I Want to Believe
And You Want to Believe
And We Want to Believe
And We Want to Live
Oh, We Want to Live
We Want to Live
We Want to Live
We Want to Live
We Want to Live
I Want to Live
I Want to Live
I Want to Live
I Want to Live
I Want to Live
I Want to Live
Live
Live

Do you remember a guy thats been in such an early song
Ive heard a rumour from Ground Control
Oh no, dont say its true
They got a message from the Action Man
Im happy, hope youre happy too
Ive loved all Ive needed to love
Sordid details following
The shrieking of nothing is killing
Just pictures of Jap girls in Sin City and
I aint got no money and aint got no hair
But Im hoping to kick but the planet its glowing
Ashes to ashes, funk to funky
We know Major Toms a junkie
Strung out in heavens high
Hitting an all-time low
Time and again I tell myself
Ill stay clean tonight
But the little green wheels are following me
Oh no, not again
Im stuck with a valuable friend
Im happy, hope youre happy too
One flash of light, but no smoking pistol
I never done good things
I never done bad things
I never did anything out of the blue
Want an axe to break the ice
Wanna come down right now
Ashes to ashes, funk to funky
We know Major Toms a junkie
Strung out in heavens high
Hitting an all-time low
My mother said
To get things done
Youd better not mess

My mother said

There is a happy land where only children live
They dont have the time to learn the ways Of you sir, Mr. Grownup
Theres a special place in the rhubarb fields underneath the leaves
Its a secret place and adults arent allowed there Mr. Grownup
Go away sir
Charlie Brown gots half a crown, hes going to buy a kite
Jimmys ill with chicken pox, and Tommys learned to ride his bike
Tiny Tim sings prayers and hymns, hes so small we dont notice him
He gets in the way but we always let him play with us
Mother calls, but we dont hear
Theres lots more things to do
Its only 5 oclock, and were not tired yet
But we will be, very shortly
Sissy Steven plays with girls, someone made him cry
Tony climbed a tree and fell, trying hard to touch the sky
Tommy lit a fire one day, nearly burned the field away
Tommys mum found out, but he put the blame on me and Ray
There is a happy land where only children live
Youve had your chance and now the doors are closed sir, Mr. Grownup
Go away sir
Boo, de boo, de boo, de boo dup |
Theres a little churchyard just along the way
It used to be Lambeths finest array
Of tombstones, epitaphs, wreaths, flowers, all that jazz
Till the war come along and someone dropped a bomb on the lot
And in this little yard, theres a little old man
With a little shovel in his little bitty hand
He seems to spend all his days puffing fags and digging graves
He hates the reverend vicar and he lives all alone in his home
Ah-choo, excuse me
Please Mr. Gravedigger, dont feel ashamed
As you dig little holes for the dead and the maimed
Please Mr. Gravedigger, I couldnt care
If you found a golden locket full of some girls hair
And you put it in your pocket
God, its pouring down
Her mother doesnt know about your sentimental joy
She thinks its down below with the rest of her toys
And Ma wouldnt understand, so I wont tell
So keep your golden locket all safely hid away in your pocket
Yes, Mr. GD, you see me every day
Ah-choo!
Standing in the same spot by a certain grave
Mary-Ann was only 10 and full of life and oh so gay
And I was the wicked man who took her life away
Very selfish, oh God
No, Mr. GD, you wont tell
And just to make sure that you keep it to yourself
Ive started digging holes my friend
And this one heres for you
Lifted our girl, she apparently doesnt know of it
Hello misses, thought shed be a little girl
Bloody obscene, catch pneumonia or something in this rain... |
La la la la la la, la la la la la la la
A winters day, a bitter snowflake on my face
My summer girl takes little backward steps away
Jack Frost took her hand and left me, Jack Frost aint so cool
Sell me a coat with buttons of silver
Sell me a coat thats red or gold
Sell me a coat with little patch pockets
Sell me a coat because I feel cold
And when she smiles, the ice forgets to melt away
Not like before, her smile was warming yesterday
See the trees like silver candy, feel my icy hand
Sell me a coat with buttons of silver
Sell me a coat thats red or gold
Sell me a coat with little patch pockets
Sell me a coat because I feel cold
See my eyes, my window pane
See my tears like gentle rain
Thats a memory of the summer day
Sell me a coat with buttons of silver
Sell me a coat thats red or gold
Sell me a coat with little patch pockets
Sell me a coat because I feel cold
Sell me a coat with buttons of silver
Sell me a coat thats red or gold
Sell me a coat with little patch pockets
Sell me a coat because I feel cold

She had an horror of rooms, she was tired, you cant hide beat
When I looked in her eyes, they were blue, nobody home
She couldve been a killer if she didnt walk the way she do
She opened strange doors wed never close again
She began to wail jealousys scream
Waiting at the lights, know what I mean?
Scary monsters, super creeps
Keeps me running, running scared
Scary monsters, super creeps
Keeps me running, running scared
She
She asked me to stay, and I stole her room
She asked for my love, and I gave her a dangerous mind
Now shes stupid in the street and she cant socialise
Well, I love the little girl and Ill love her till the day she dies
She wails Jimmys guitar sound, jealousys scream
Waiting at the lights, know what I mean?
It was
Scary monsters, super creeps
Keeps me running, running scared
Scary monsters and super creeps
Keeps me running, running scared
She
It was
Scary monsters and super creeps
Keeps me running, running scared
Scary monsters and super creeps
Keeps me running, running scared
She

I, I wish you could swim
Like the dolphins, like dolphins can swim
Though nothing will keep us together
We can beat them, forever and ever
Oh, we can be heroes, just for one day
I, I will be king
And you, you will be queen
Though nothing will drive them away
We can be heroes, just for one day
We can be us, just for one day
I, I can remember
Standing, by the wall
And the guns shot above our heads
And we kissed, as though nothing could fall
And the shame was on the other side
We can beat them, forever and ever
Then we could be heroes, oh, just for one day
We can be heroes, just for one day
We can be heroes
Just for one day
Heroes, just for one day
We can be heroes, just for one day, oh
Just for one day
Heroes, just for one day
Hm... just for one day |
I, I will be king
And you, you will be queen
Though nothing will drive them away
We can beat them, just for one day
We can be heroes, just for one day
And you, you can be mean
And I, Ill drink all the time
Cause were lovers, and that is a fact
Yes, were lovers, and that is that
Though nothing will keep us together
We could steal time, just for one day
We can be heroes, forever and ever
What dyou say?
I, I wish you could swim
Like the dolphins, like dolphins can swim
Though nothing, nothing will keep us together
We can beat them, forever and ever
Oh, we can be heroes, just for one day
I, I will be king
And you, you will be queen
Though nothing will drive them away
We can be heroes, just for one day
We can be us, just for one day
I, I can remember
Standing, by the wall
And the guns shot above our heads
And we kissed, as though nothing could fall
And the shame was on the other side
Oh, we can beat them, forever and ever
Then we could be heroes, just for one day
We can be heroes
We can be heroes
We can be heroes, just for one day
We can be heroes
Were nothing, and nothing will help us
Maybe were lying, then you better not stay
But we could be safer, just for one day
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, just for one day |
The ghost of Manhattoes
Shrieking as they fall
From AT&T
Someone sees it all
Goodbye Mr. Ed
Andys skull enshrined
In a shopping mall near Queens
Someone sees it all
Icarus takes his pratfall
Bruegel on his head
Goodbye Mr. Ed
Four and twenty black kids
Some of them are blind
Someone sees it all
Tolerance of violence
By the fellows with no heads
Goodbye Mr. Ed
Some things are so big
They make no sense
Histories so small
People are so dense
Someone sees it all
Goodbye Mr. Ed
Some things are so big
They make no sense
Histories so small
People are so dense
Someone sees it all
Goodbye Mr. Ed
Never mind the Pistols
They laid the Golem eggs
Others came to hatch them
Outside the pale
Someone sees it all
Goodbye Mr. Ed |

Just pictures of Jap girls in sin city and
I aint got no money and aint got no hair
But Im hoping to kick but the planet its glowing
Ashes to ashes, funk to funky
We know Major Toms a junkie
Strung out in heavens high
Hitting an all-time low
Time and again I tell myself
Ill stay clean tonight
But the little green wheels are following me
Oh no, not again
Im stuck with a valuable friend
Im happy, hope youre happy too
One flash of light, but no smoking pistol
I never done good things
I never done bad things
I never did anything out of the blue
Want an axe to break the ice
Wanna come down right now
Ashes to ashes, fun to funky
We know Major Toms a junkie
Strung out in heavens high
Hitting an all-time low
My mother said
To get things done
Youd better not mess
With Major Tom |
In the corner of the morning in the past
I would sit and blame the master first and last
All the roads were straight and narrow
And the prayers were small and yellow
And the rumour spread that I was aging fast
Then I ran across a monster who was sleeping by a tree
And I looked and frowned and the monster was me
Well, I said hello and I said hello
And I asked Why not? and I replied I dont know
So we asked a simple black bird, who was happy as can be
And he laughed insane and quipped Khalil Gibran
And I cried for all the others til the day was nearly through
For I realized that Gods a young man too
So I said So long and I waved bye-bye
And I smashed my soul and traded my mind
Got laid by a young bordello
Who was vaguely half asleep
For which my reputation swept back home in drag
And the moral of this magic spell
Negotiates my hide
When God did take my logic for a ride
He swallowed his pride and puckered his lips
And showed me the leather belt round his hips
My knees were shaking my cheeks aflame
He said, youll never go down to the Gods again
He struck the ground, a cavern appeared
And I smelt the burning pit of fear
We crashed a thousand yards below
I said, do it again, do it again
His nebulous body swayed above
His tongue swollen with devils love
The snake and I, a venom high
I said, do it again, do it again
Breathe, breathe, breathe deeply
And I was seething, breathing deeply
Spitting sentry, horned and tailed
Waiting for you
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh |
When I believed in nothing I called her name
Trapped in a high-dollar joint in some place I called her name
And though my days were slipping by
And nights so cruel I thought Id die
She danced her little dance till it made me cry
She was shakin like this honey doing that
When I needed soul revival I called your name
When I was falling to pieces I screamed in pain
Your soothing hand that turned me round
A love so real swept over me
You danced your little dance till it made me cry
You were shakin like this honey doing that
Never let me down
She never let me down
Never let me down
She never let me down
When all your faith is failing Call my name
When youve got nothing coming Call my name
Ill be strong for all it takes
Ill cover your head till the bad stuff breaks
Ill dance my little dance till it makes you smile
Shaking like this honey doing that
Never let you down
Ill never let you down
Ill never let you down
Ill never let you down
Oh no |
When I live my dream, Ill take you with me
Riding on a golden horse
Well live within my castle, with people there to serve you
Happy at the sound of your voice
Baby, Ill slay a dragon for you
Or banish wicked giants from the land
But you will find, that nothing in my dream can hurt you
We will only love each other as forever
When I live my dream
When I live my dream, Ill forgive the things youve told me
And the empty man you left behind
Its a broken heart that dreams, its a broken heart you left me
Only love can live in my dream
Ill wish, and the thunder clouds will vanish
Wish, and the storm will fade away
Wish again, and you will stand before me while the sky will paint an ouverture
And trees will play the rhythm of my dream
When I live my dream, please be there to meet me
Let me be the one to understand
When I live my dream, Ill forget the hurt you gave
Then we can live in our new land
Till the day my dream cascades around me
Im content to let you pass me by
Till that day, youll run to many other men
But let them know its just for now
Tell them that Ive got a dream
And tell them youre the starring role
Tell them Im a dreaming kind of guy
And Im going to make my dream
Tell them I will live my dream
Tell them they can laugh at me
But dont forget your date with me
When I live my dream |
Makin my love
Like a shining star
Taking my love
Just a touch too far
Mm-hmm-hmm
Uhm hmm hmm uhm...
Eddie boy lit like paraffin
Spending two weeks
In a crack house
Burns on his brain
Like Chernobyl
Dean was seen
With a two bag purchase
He was lying dead on his mothers bed
Someone for pray for
Until I met you
Life is like a broken arrow
Memory a swinging door
I could be your great misfortune
I can make you happy
Every day of your life!
Makin my love
Like a shining star;
Taking my love
Just a touch too far
Tessie turns tricks with a soul like ice
cause love left holes
And four small kids breaking her heart
Ive got windows, Ive seen much vice
Ive touched down with vermin
Cowardice, lice
And I say
Nobody cares what you do
Please be yourself to death
I could be your great misfortune ...
But youll never find a, bet youll never find a better man!
Makin my love
Like a shining star
Taking my love
Just a touch too far
Peter met Frank
Formed a dummy run gang
Worked heist or hit for 10 gs flat
Blew heads out of shape for the name of Trotsky, Sinn-Fein, Hitler cash down
No hope heroes cover the page
With debts in hell
And fingers in blood
Poor little bodies all covered in scabs
Threw it all away
For life in the grave
Life is like a broken arrow
Memory a swinging door
I could be your great misfortune
Well, I could make you happy
Every goddamn single day of your life!
Makin my love
Like a shining star
Like a shining star ...
Babe thats what you are
Like a shining star
Makin my love
Like a shining star
Taking my love
Just a touch too far
Making my love
Like a shining star
Taking my love
Just a touch too far
Making my love
Like a shining star
Taking my love
Just a touch too far
Making my love
Like a shining star
Taking my love |
Im up on the eleventh floor
And Im watching the cruisers below
My hearts in the basement
My weekends
At an all time low
Hes down on the street
And hes trying hard
To pull sister Flo
Cause shes hoping to score
So I cant see her
Letting him go
Walk out of her heart
Walk out of her mind
CHORUS
Shes so swishy in her satin and tat
In her frock coat
And bipperty-bopperty hat
Oh God, I could do better than that
Shes an old-time ambassador
Of sweet talking, night walking games
And shes known in the darkest clubs
For pushing ahead of the dames
If she says she can do it
Then she can do it
She dont make false claims
But shes a Queen
And such are queens
That your laughter
Is sucked in their brains
Now shes leading him on
And shell lay him right down
But it could have been me
Yes, it could have been me
Why didnt I say
Why didnt I say, no, no, no
CHORUS
So I lay down a while
And I look at my hotel wall
Oh the cot is so cold
It dont feel like no bed at all
Yeah I lay down a while
And I look at my hotel wall
But hes down on the street
So I throw both his bags down the hall
And Im phoning a cab
Cause my stomach feels small
Theres a taste in my mouth
And its no taste at all
It could have been me
Oh yeah, it could have been me
Why didnt I say
Why didnt I say, no, no, no
CHORUS |
A little piece in you
A little peace in me
Will die
For this is not America
Blossom fails to bloom
This season promise not to stare
Too long
But this is not America
There was a time
A storm that blew so pure
For this could be the biggest sky
And I could have the faintest idea
For this is not America
This is not America
This is not America
This is not
This is not America
This is not America
A little piece of you
A little piece of me
A little piece in you
A little piece in me will die
For this is not America
There was a time
A wind that blew so young
For this could be the biggest sky
And I could have the faintest idea
This is not America
This is not America
This is not, this is not America
This is not, this is not America
This is not, this is not America
This is not America
This is not America
This is not America
This is not America
This is not America, no
This is not
This is not America
This is not America |
Are you having trouble breathing?
Do you find it hard to breathe?
Did you wake up to find youre buried, semi-alive?
Do you need a hand?
Dig the American
Dig the American
Dig the American
Dig the American
Dig the American
Dig the American
Can you leave it all behind?
Can you get to what you feel?
Youre just a big fat mess
Youre just an American landfill, landfill
Do you need the jaws of life
To cut through the American landfill, landfill?
We can rise up from this grave
We can prepare to ascend
We could walk on water
You could be my saviour, saviour
Dig the American
Dig the American
Dig the American
Dig the American
Dig the American
Dig the American
Can you just not wear that dress?
Can you just not get your hair cut like that?
Who picks out your clothes
Sort through the American landfill, landfill
We can rise up from this grave
We can prepare to ascend
We could walk on water
You could be my saviour, saviour
Baby, come inside
Take off your coat
Can you leave it all behind?
Can you get to what you feel?
Do you need the jaws of life
To cut through the American landfill, landfill?
We can rise up from this grave
We can prepare to ascend
We could walk on water
You could be my saviour, saviour
Dig the American |

Time takes a cigarette, puts it in your mouth
You pull on your finger, then another finger, then your cigarette
The wall-to-wall is calling, it lingers, but you still you forget
Oh oh, youre a rock n roll suicide
Youre too old to lose it and youre too young to choose it
And the clock waits so patiently on your song
You walk past a cafe but you dont eat when youve lived too long
Oh, no, no, no, youre a rock n roll suicide
Chev brakes are snarling as you stumble across the road
But the day breaks instead so you hurry home
Dont let the milk float past your shadow
Dont let the milk float ride your mind
Youre so natural, religiously unkind
Oh no love! Youre not alone
Youre watching yourself but youre too unfair
You got your head all tangled up
But if I could only make you care
Oh no love! Youre not alone
No matter what or who youve seen
No matter where or when youve been
All the knives seem to lacerate your brain
Ive had my share, Ill help you with the pain
Youre not alone!
Just turn on with me and youre not alone
Just turn on with me and youre not alone
Gimme your hands cause youre wonderful
Gimme your hands cause youre wonderful
Oh!
Good night, thank you |
The tactful cactus by your window
Surveys the prairie of your room
The mobile spins to its collision
Clara puts her head between her paws
Theyve opened shops down West side
Will all the cacti find a home
But the key to the city
Is in the sun that pins the branches to the sky |
Well shes a tongue twisting storm
Shell come to the show tonight
Praying to the light machine
She wants my honey not my money
Shes a funky-thigh collector
Laying on electric dreams
Well come on, come on
Weve really got a good thing going
Well come on, well come on
If you think were going to make it
You better hang on to yourself
We cant dance, We dont talk much
We just ball and play
But then we move like tigers on Vaseline
Well the bitter comes out better on a stolen guitar
Youre the Blessed
Were The Spiders From Mars
Well come on, come on
Weve really got a good thing going
Well come on, well come on
If you think were going to make it
You better hang on to yourself
Come on
Lay it on
Well come on, come on
Weve really got a good thing going
Well come on, well come on
If you think were going to make it
You better hang on to yourself
Come on, ah, come on, ah, come on, ah, come on, ah
Come on, ah, come on, ah, come on, ah, come on, ah
Come on, ah, come on, ah, come on, ah, come on, ah
Come on, ah, come on, ah, come on, ah, come on, ah |
A small Jean Genie snuck off to the city
Strung out on lasers and slash back blazers and
Ate all your razors while pulling the waiters
Talking bout Monroe and walking on Snow White
New Yorks a go-go and everything tastes nice
Poor little Greenie, woohoo
The Jean Genie lives on his back
The Jean Genie loves chimney stacks
hes outrageous, he screams and he bawls
The Jean Genie, let yourself go
Sits like a man, but he smiles like a reptile
She loves him, she loves him, but just for a short while
Shell scratch in the sand, wont let go his hand
He says hes a beautician and sells you nutrition
And keeps all your dead hair for making up underwear
Poor little Greenie, woohoo
The Jean Genie lives on his back
The Jean Genie loves chimney stacks
hes outrageous, he screams and he bawls
The Jean Genie, let yourself go
Hes so simple minded, he cant drive his module
He bites on the neon and sleeps in the capsule
Loves to be loved
Loves to be loved
The Jean Genie lives on his back
The Jean Genie loves chimney stacks
hes outrageous, he screams and he bawls
The Jean Genie, let yourself go
Go
Go
The Jean Genie lives on his back
The Jean Genie loves chimney stacks
hes outrageous, he screams and he bawls
The Jean Genie, let yourself go
Go
Go, go |
Its a god-awful small affair
To the girl with the mousy hair
But her mummy is yelling, No!
And her daddy has told her to go
But her friend is nowhere to be seen
Now she walks through her sunken dream
To the seat with the clearest view
And shes hooked to the silver screen
But the film is a saddening bore
For shes lived it ten times or more
She could spit in the eyes of fools
As they ask her to focus on
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh, man, look at those cavemen go
Its the freakiest show
Take a look at the lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh, man, wonder if hell ever know
Hes in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars?
Its on Americas tortured brow
That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
Now the workers have struck for fame
Cause Lennons on sale again
See the mice in their million hordes
From Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads
Rule Britannia is out of bounds
To my mother, my dog, and clowns
But the film is a saddening bore
Because I wrote it ten times or more
Its about to be writ again
As I ask you to focus on
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh, man, look at those cavemen go
Its the freakiest show
Take a look at the lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh, man, wonder if hell ever know
Hes in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars? |
See the great white scar
Over Battery park
Then a flare glides over
But I wont look at that scar
Oh, my nuclear baby
Oh, my idiot trance
All my idiot questions
Lets face the music and dance
Dont ever say Im ready, Im ready, Im ready
I never said Im better, Im better, Im better
Dont ever say Im ready, Im ready, Im ready
I never said Im better, Im better, Im better, Im better than you
All the corners of the buildings
Who but we remember these?
The sidewalks and trees
Im thinking now
I discovered a star
Ready set go
A new killer star
Ready set go
The stars in your eyes
Ready set go
I discovered a star
Ready set go
See my life in a comic
Like the way they did the bible
With the bubbles and action
The little details in color
First a horseback bomber
Just a small thin chance
Like seeing Jesus on dateline
Lets face the music and dance
Dont ever say Im ready, Im ready, Im ready
I never said Im better, Im better, Im better
Dont ever say Im ready, Im ready, Im ready
I never said Im better, Im better, Im better, Im better than you
All the corners of the buildings
Who but we remember these?
The sidewalks and trees
Im thinking now
I discovered a star
Ready set go
A new killer star
Ready set go
The stars in your eyes
Ready set go
I discovered a star
Ready set go
Ready set go
Ready set go
Ooo oo oooo
Ready set go |
Like to take a cement fix
Be a standing cinema
Dress my friends up just for show
See them as they really are
Put a peephole in my brain
Two new pence to have a go
Like to be a gallery
Put you all inside my show
Andy Warhol, looks a scream
Hang him on my wall
Andy Warhol, silver screen
Cant tell them apart at all
Andy walking, Andy tired
Andy take a little snooze
Tie him up when he fast asleep
Send him on a pleasant cruise
When wakes up on the sea
Be sure to think of me and you
To think and paint, to think about glue
What a boring thing to do
Andy Warhol, looks a scream
Hang him on my wall
Andy Warhol, silver screen
Can’t tell them apart at all
Andy Warhol, looks a scream
Hang him on my wall
Andy Warhol, silver screen
Cant tell them apart at all |
This song is from an album called Station to Station and its called-- Im singing all the tough ones in the beginning, I cant believe Ive done this, oh well-- its called Word on a Wing
In this age of grand delusion
You walked into my life out of my dreams
I dont need another change
Still you forced a way into my scheme of things
You say were growing
Growing heart and soul
In this age of grand delusion
You walked into my life out of my dreams
Oh sweet name, youre born once again for me
Oh sweet name, youre born once again for me
Oh sweet name, I call you again
Youre born once again
Just because I believe dont mean I dont think as well
Dont have to question everything in Heaven or Hell
Lord, I kneel and offer you my word on a wing
And Im trying hard to fit among your scheme of things
Its safer than a strange land, but I still care for myself
And I dont stand in my own light
Lord, oh Lord, my prayer flies like a word on a wing
My prayer flies like a word on a wing
Does my prayer fit in with your scheme of things?
In this age of grand delusion
You walked into my life out of my dreams
Oh sweet name, youre born once again for me
Just as long as I can see
Ill never stop this vision flowing
I look twice and still youre glowing
Just as long as I can walk Ill walk beside you
Im alive in you
Oh sweet name, youre born once again for me
And Im ready to shape the scheme of things
Ooh, ready to shape the scheme of things
Ooh, ready ready ready
Ooh, ready to shape the scheme of things
Ooh, ready ready ready
Ooh...
Lord, I kneel and offer you my word on a wing
And Im trying hard to fit among your scheme of things
Its safer than a strange land, but I still care for myself
And I dont stand in my own light
Oh, oh Lord, Lord, my prayer flies like a word on a wing
And, and Im trying hard to fit among your scheme of things
Its safer than a strange land, but I still care for myself
And I dont stand in my own light
Lord, oh Lord, my prayer flies like a word on a wing
My prayer flies like a word on a wing
Does my prayer fit in with your scheme of things?
Thank you |
You always were the one that knew
They sold us for the likes of you
I always wanted new surroundings
A room to rent while the lizards lay crying in the heat, yeah
Trying to remember who to meet
I would take a foxy kind of stand
While tens of thousands found me in demand
When you rock and roll with me
No one else Id rather be
Nobody down here can do it for me
Im in tears again
When you rock and roll with me
Gentle hearts are counted down
The queue is out of sight and out of sounds
Me, Im out of breath, but not quite doubting
Ive found a door which lets me out
When you rock and roll with me
No one else Id rather be
Nobody here can do it for me
Im in tears again
When you rock and roll with me
Oh, when you rock and roll with me
No one else Id rather be, love
Nobody down here can do it for me
Im in tears again
When you rock and roll with me
When you rock and roll, rock and roll with me
No one else Id rather be, love
Nobody down here can do it for me
Im in tears, Im in tears
When you rock and roll with me
Oh yeah
Oh, oh, no
Oh, oh, yeah |
Lets dance
Put on your red shoes and dance the blues
Lets dance
To the song theyre playing on the radio
Lets sway
Wild colour lights up your face
Lets sway
Sway through the crowd into an empty space
And if you say, Run!
Ill run with you
And if you say, Hide!
Ill hide
Because my love for you would break my heart into two
If you should fall into my arms tremble like a flower
Lets dance
For fear your grace should fall
Lets dance
For fear that tonight is all
Lets sway
Or you could look into my eyes
Lets sway
Under the moonlight, the serious moonlight
And if you say, Run!
Ill run with you
And if you say, Hide!
Ill hide
Because my love for you would break my heart in two
If you should fall into my arms tremble like a flower
Lets dance
Put on your red shoes and dance the blues
Lets dance
To the song theyre playing on the radio
Lets sway
Or you could look into my eyes
Lets sway
Under the moonlight, the serious moonlight |
Back into the funhouse
Music is sublime
You see the lady spinning
Shell show me
We all lie in the funhouse
No one is your friend
No one loves a loser
We love you
In the funhouse
In the funhouse
In the funhouse

Well show you

Girls wag their pain

Theyll show you
Well show you

My summer turns to fall
And I´ll miss you
Well show you
Shell show me

Are you OK?
Youve been shot in the head
And Im holding your brains,
The old woman said
So I drink in the shadows of an evening sky
See nothing at all
I praise to you
Nothing ever goes away
I praise to you
Nothing ever goes
I praise to you
The stars look so special
And the snow looks so old
The frail form is drifting
Beyond the yoga zone
Time to question the mountain: Why pigs can fly?
Its nothing at all
I praise to you
Nothing ever goes away
I praise to you
Nothing ever goes
I praise to you
I praise to you
Nothing ever goes away
I praise to you
Nothing ever goes
I praise to you
Nothing ever goes away
I praise to you
Nothing ever goes, nothing ever goes
Nothing |
I cant read and I cant write down
I dont know a book from countdown
I dont care which shadow gets me
All Ive got is someones face
Money goes to money heaven
Bodies go to body hell
I just cough, catch the chase
Switch the channel watch the police car
I cant read shit anymore
I just sit back and ignore
I just cant get it right, cant get it right
I cant read shit I cant read shit
When you see a famous smile
No matter where you run your mile
To be right in that photograph
Andy wheres my fifteen minutes
I cant read shit anymore
I just sit back and ignore
I just cant get it right, cant get it right
I cant read shit I cant read shit |
Do you remember a guy thats been
In such an early song
Ive heard a rumor from ground control
Oh no, dont say its true
They got a message from the action man
Im happy, hope youre happy too
Ive loved all Ive needed love
Sordid details following
The shrieking of nothing is killing
Just pictures of Jap girls in synthesis
And I
Aint got no money and I aint got no hair
But Im hoping to kick but the planet its glowing
Ashes to ashes, funk to funky
We know major Toms a junkie
Strung out in heavens high
Hitting an all-time low
Time and again I tell myself
Ill stay clean tonight
But the little green wheels are following
Oh no, not again
Im stuck with a valuable friend
Im happy, hope youre happy too
One flash of light but no smoking pistol
I never done good things
I never done bad things
I never did anything out of the blue, woh-o-oh
Want an axe to break the ice
Wanna come down right now
Ashes to ashes, funk to funky
We know major Toms a junkie
Strung out in heavens high
Hitting an all-time low
Mum always said to get things done
Youd better not mess with major Tom
Mum always said to get things done
Youd better not mess with major Tom
Mum always said to get things done
Youd better not mess with major Tom |
The return of the Thin White Duke
Throwing darts in lovers eyes
Here are we, one magical moment
Such is the stuff, from where dreams are woven
Bending sound, dredging the ocean
Lost in my circle
Here am I, flashing no color
Tall in this room overlooking the ocean
Here are we, one magical movement
From Kether to Malkuth
There are, you drive like a demon
From station to station
The return of the Thin White Duke
Throwing darts in lovers eyes
The return of the Thin White Duke
Throwing darts in lovers eyes
The return of the Thin White Duke
Making sure white stains
Once there were mountains on mountains
And once there were sun birds to soar with
And once I could never be down
Got to keep searching and searching
And oh, what will I be believing
And who will connect me with love?
Wonder who, wonder who, wonder when
Have you sought fortune, evasive and shy?
Drink to the men who protect you and I
Drink, drink, drain your glass, raise your glass high
Its not the side-effects of the cocaine
Im thinking that it must be love
Its too late to be grateful
Its too late to be late again
Its too late to be hateful
The European canon is near
I must be only one in a million
I wont let the day pass without her
Its too late to be grateful
Its too late to be late again
Its too late to be hateful
The European canon is here
Should I believe that Ive been stricken?
Does my face show some kind of glow?
Its too late to be grateful
Its too late to be late again
Its too late to be hateful
The European canon is here, yes its here
Its too late, Its too late
Its too late, Its too late
Its too late
The European canon is near
Its not the side-effects of the cocaine
Im thinking that it must be love
Its too late to be grateful
Its too late to be late again
Its too late to be hateful
The European canon is here
I must be only one in a million
I wont let the day pass without her
Its too late to be grateful
Its too late to be late again
Its too late to be hateful
The European canon is here, yes its here
Should I believe that Ive been stricken?
Does my face show some kind of glow?
Its too late to be grateful
Its too late to be late again
Its too late to be hateful
The European canon is here, yes its here
Its too late, Its too late
Its too late, Its too late
Its too late
The European canon is here |
Brrrrrr-rrrah!
Ive seen the city
I took the next flight
For Borneo
They say its pretty
I like the T-shirts
In Borneo
Some wear Bob Marley
Others in Playboy
Or Duvalier
Make the last plane come
Let me rise through the cloudy above
With a book on Borneo
Strangers come and go
Its such a waste of time
Problems far behind
Another day...
But even in springtime
Its a rich slice of life
So send me a letter
Ill reply with a broken spear
The dusky mulatto
In nylons and tattoos
Hot juice in coke bottles
We dance in the sand
Well, they twirl and they tumble
Yes, they twirl and they tumble
Well, Ill twirl and Ill tumble
Ive been to Leons
Ah, hes got nine daughters
And a stereo
They say that Leon
Watches from the tree tops
In Borneo
When the road is mud
Everything stops with a thud
Brrrrah!
I like the free world
They say its pretty
This time of year
They tumble and twirl
Ill tumble and twirl
I like the free world
I like the free world
They say its pretty
Brrrrah! |

No one can blame you
For walking away
Too much rejection, uh-huh
No love injection
Life cant be easy
Its not always swell
Dont tell me truth hurts, little girl
Cause it hurts like hell
But down in the underground
Youll find someone true
Down in the underground:
A land serene
A crystal moon
Ah..Ahh...
Its only forever
Not long at all
Lost and lonely
Thats underground
Underground
Daddy, daddy, get me out of here
Heard about a place today
I, Im underground
Nothing ever hurts again
Heard about a place today
Daddy, get me out of here
Where nothing ever hurts again
Daddy, daddy, get me out of here
I, Im underground
Sister, sister, please take me down
I, Im underground
Daddy, daddy, get me out of here
No one can blame you
For walking away
Too much rejection
No love injection
Down in the underground
Youll find someone true
Down in the underground;
A land serene;
A crystal moon
Ah..
Its only
Its only forever
Its not long at all
Lost and lonely
Thats underground
Underground
Daddy, daddy, get me out of here
Heard about a place today
Nothing never hurts again
Daddy, daddy, get me out of here
Im, Im underground
Sister, sister, please take me down
Im, Im underground
Daddy, daddy, get me out
Wanna live underground
Wanna live underground
Wanna live underground
Wanna live underground
Wanna live underground
Wanna live underground
Wanna live underground
Wanna live underground
Daddy, daddy, get me out of here
Im, Im underground
Sister, sister please take me down
I, Im underground
I, Im underground
I, Im underground
Daddy, daddy, get me..
Daddy, daddy, get me..
Wanna live underground..
Sister, sister, take me down |
I still dont know what I was waiting for
And my time was running wild
A million dead-end streets
Every time I thought Id got it made
It seemed the taste was not so sweet
So I turned myself to face me
But Ive never caught a glimpse
Of how the others must see the faker
Im much too fast to take that test
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Ch-ch-changes
Dont want to be a richer man
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Ch-ch-changes
Just gonna have to be a different man
Time may change me
But I cant trace time
I watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream
Of warm impermanence and
So the days float through my eyes
But still the days seem the same
And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
Theyre quite aware of what theyre going through
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Ch-ch-changes
Dont tell them to grow up and out of it
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Ch-ch-changes
Wheres your shame
Youve left us up to our necks in it
Time may change me
But you cant trace time
Strange fascination, fascinating me
Changes are taking the pace Im going through
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Ch-ch-changes
Oh, look out you rock n rollers
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Ch-ch-changes
Pretty soon now youre gonna get older
Time may change me
But I cant trace time
I said that time may change me
But I cant trace time |
Billy rapped all night about his suicide
How he kicked it in the head
When he was twenty-five
Hey child you dont want to be alive
When youre twenty-five
And Lucys stealing clothes
From unlocked cars
Shes got rips on her fingers
From picking off stars
From little Jimmys face
And the television man is crazy
Says Im a juvenile delinquent wreck
Dont need a TV
When Ive got T-rex
Every dude now
All the young dudes
Carry the news
Boogaloo dudes
Carry the news
I wanna hear ya
Hear ya
All the young dudes
Carry the news
Boogaloo dudes
Carry the news
Looking so sweet
Dressed like a queen
She can kick like a mule
Its a real mean team
But we can love, oh we can love
And my brothers at home
With his Beatles and Stones
We never got it off
On that revolution stuff
Its such a drag, such a drag
Well I drunk a lot of wine and Im feeling fine
Gonna wreak this town tonight
Is it concrete all around me
Or is it in my head
Im a dude
All the young dudes
Carry the news
Boogaloo dudes
Carry the news . . |
