Dont talk of dust and roses
Or should we powder our noses?
Don’t live for last years capers
Give me steel, give me steel, give me pulsars unreal
Hell build a glass asylum
With just a hint of mayhem
He’ll build a better whirlpool
Well be living from sin
Then we can really begin
Please saviour, saviour, show us
Hear me, Im graphically yours
Someone to claim us, someone to follow
Someone to shame us, some brave Apollo
Someone to fool us, someone like you
We want you Big Brother, Big Brother
Brother
Hoo, hoo
Shake it up, shake it up
Move it up, move it up
Brother
Hoo, hoo
Shake it up, shake it up
Move it up, move it up
Brother
Hoo, hoo
Shake it up, shake it up
Move it up, move it up
Brother
Hoo, hoo |
Pushing through the market square
So many mothers sighing
News had just come over
We had five years left to cry in
News guy wept and told us
Earth was really dying
Cried so much his face was wet
Then I knew he was not lying
I heard telephones, opera house, favourite melodies
I saw boys, toys, electric irons and TVs
My brain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare
I had to cram so many things to store everything in there
And all the fat, skinny people
And all the tall, short people
And all the nobody people
And all the somebody people
I never thought Id need so many people
A girl my age went off her head
Hit some tiny children
If the Black hadnt have pulled her off
I think she would have killed them
A soldier with a broken arm
Fixed his stare to the wheels of a Cadillac
A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest
And a queer threw up at the sight of that
I think I saw you in an ice-cream parlour
Drinking milkshakes cold and long
Smiling and waving and looking so fine
Dont think you knew you were in this song
And it was cold and it rained, so I felt like an actor
And I thought of Ma and I wanted to get back there
Your face, your race
The way that you talk
I kiss you, youre beautiful
I want you to walk
Weve got five years, stuck on my eyes
Five years, what a surprise
Weve got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, thats all weve got
Weve got five years, what a surprise
Five years, stuck on my eyes
Weve got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, thats all weve got
Weve got five years, stuck on my eyes
Five years, what a surprise
Weve got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, thats all weve got
Weve got five years, what a surprise
Weve got five years, stuck on my eyes
Weve got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, thats all weve got
Five years
Five years
Five years

Oh show me the way to the next whiskey bar
Oh dont ask why, no dont ask why
For we must find the next whiskey bar
Or if we dont find the next whiskey bar
I tell you we must die
I tell you we must die
I tell you, I tell you
I tell you we must die
Oh moon of Alabama, its time to say goodbye
Weve lost our good old mama
And must have whiskey or you know why
Oh moon of Alabama, its time to say goodbye
Weve lost our good old mama

Oh show us the way to the next little dollar

Oh moon of Alabama its time to say auf wiedersehen

Somethings going on in society
You chew your fingers and stare at the floor
One wrong word and youre out of sync
Talking bout a hands-on policy
Death to the trees
They werent bad, they werent brave
Nothing is embarrassing
Dancing with the big boys
Nothing is
Nothin is ...
Embarrassing
There are too many people, too much belief
Where theres trouble theres poetry
Your family is a football team
This dot marks your location
Loneliness in a free society
This can be embarrassing
Big boys
Big boys
Loneliness in a free society
La, la la; La la la
Big, big-bo-bo-bo |
Weaving down a byroad
Singing the song
Thats my kind of highroad
Gone wrong
My-my, smile at least
You cant say no to the Beauty and the Beast
Something in the night
Something in the day
Nothing is wrong but darling
Somethings in the way
Theres slaughter in the air
Protest on the wind
Someone else inside me
Someone could get skinned, how?
My-my, someone fetch a priest
You cant say no to the Beauty and the Beast, darling
My-my
You cant say no to the Beauty and the Beast
My-my
You cant say no to the Beauty and the Beast
I wanted to believe me
I wanted to be good
I wanted no distractions
Like every good boy should, my-my
Nothing will corrupt us
Nothing will compete
Thank God heaven left us
Standing on our feet
My-my, Beauty and the Beast, my-my
Just Beauty and the Beast
You cant say no to the Beauty and the Beast, darling
My-my, my-my |
Im home, lost my job, and incurably ill
You think this is easy, realism
Ive got a girl out there, I suppose
I think shes dancing
Feel like Dan Dare lies down
I think shes dancing, what do I know?
I am a D.J., I am what I play
Cant turn around no, cant turn around, no, oh, ooh
I am a D.J., I am what I play
Cant turn around no, cant turn around, no, oh no
I am a D.J., I am what I play
I got believers
Believing me, oh
One more, weekend, of lights and evening faces
Fast food, living nostalgia
Humble pie or bitter fruit
I am a D.J., I am what I play
Cant turn around no, cant turn around no, ooh
I am a D.J., I am what I say
Cant turn around no, cant turn around, ooh
I am a D.J., I am what I play
Ive got believers
Believing me
I am a D.J., I am what I play
Can turn around no, cant turn around
I am a D.J., I am what I play
Can turn around no, cant turn around
I am a D.J., I am what I play
Can turn around no
Time flies when youre having fun
Break his heart, break her heart
He used to be my boss and now he is a puppet dancer
I am a D.J., and Ive got believers
Ive got believers
Ive got believers
Ive got believers in me
Ive got believers
I am a D.J., I am what I play
I am a D.J |
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Still dont know what I was waiting for
Time was running wild, million dead-end streets and
Every time I thought Id got it made
It seemed peace was not so sweet
So I turned myself to face me
But Ive never caught a glimpse
How the others must see this faker
Im much too fast to take that test
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Ch-ch-changes, didnt want to have to be a richer man
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Oh changes, just wanted to be a better man
Time may change me
But I cant trace time
Oh yeah
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
Still the days seem the same, just the same
And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Theyre immune to your consultation
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, looks like you 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
Oh Changes, 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
I cant trace time
I said that time may change me
But I cant trace time
Thank you very much
Oh Paris, I love Paris in the springtime, I do, I love Paris in the Fall... I got engaged to my wife here, you know, along the Seine... ah, that wont interest you. Look Im only supposed to do 45 minutes, thank you for coming. Well, were only going to do another 20 minutes, Ive got to be very strict about this or well have to stay after school. Please indulge me, were going to do, a new song, a couple of old songs, a couple of more obscure songs... is that OK? |
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 til it made me cry
She was shaking 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 a little dance til it made me cry
She was shaking 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
Until the bad stuff breaks
Dance my little dance til 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 |
Time will crawl
Time will crawl
Ive never sailed on a sea
I would not challenge a giant
I could not take on the church
Til the 21st century lose
I know a government man
He was as blind as the moon, and he—
He saw the sun in the night
He took a top-gun pilot and he—
He made him fly through a hole
Til he grew real old, and he—
And he never came down
He just flew till he burst
Time will crawl
Til our mouths run dry
Time will crawl
Til our feet grow small
Time will crawl
Til our tails fall off
Time will crawl
Til the 21st century lose
I saw a black, black stream
Full of wide-eyed fish
And a drowning man
With no eyes at all
I felt a warm, warm breeze
That melted metal and steel
I got a bad migraine
That lasted three long years
And the pills that I took
Made my fingers disappear
Time will crawl
Time will crawl
Time will crawl:
Til the 21st century lose
Time will crawl!
Time will crawl
[Instrumental Interlude keys-
Guitar solo - extended sax solo]
You were a talented child
You came to live in our town
We never bothered to scream
When your mask went off
We only smelt the gas
As we lay down to sleep
Time will crawl
And our heads bowed down
Time will crawl
And our eyes fall out
Time will crawl
And the streets run red
Time will crawl
Til the 21st century lose
Time will crawl
And our mouths run dry
Time will crawl
And our feet grow small
Time will crawl
And our tails fall off
Time will crawl
Til the 21st century lose
Time will crawl
And our heads bowed down
Time will crawl
And our eyes fall out
Time will crawl
And the streets run red
Time will crawl
Til the 21st century lose
Time will crawl
For the crazy child
Time will crawl
Well give every life
Til the 21st century lose
For the crackpot notion |

Let me introduce you to the gang
Johnny plays the sitar, hes an existentialist
Once he had a name, now he plays our game
You wont feel so good now that youve joined the gang
Molly is the model in the ads
Crazy clothes and acid full of soul and crazy hip
Someone switched her on, then her beam went wrong
Because she cant switch off now that shes joined the gang
Arthur is a singer with a band
Arthur drinks two bottles just before he goes on stage
Look at Arthur rave, all the kids have paid
They want to see the croaking man who joined the gang
You wont be alone, weve all got beery grins
Its a big illusion but at least youre in
At least youre in
This clubs called The Webb, its this months pick
Next month we shall find a place where prices aint so stiff
15 bob a go, afraid thats past a joke
This is how to spend now that youve joined the gang
This is what to do now that youre here
Sit round doing nothing all together very fast
Psychedelic stars, throwing down cigars
Theyre picking up the joints now that theyve joined the gang |
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 synthesis
And I aint got no money and aint got no hair
But Im hoping to kick but the planet is glowing
Ashes to ashes, funk to funky
We know Major Toms a junky
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
Ive never done good things
Ive never done bad things
I never did anything out of the blue, whoa whoa
I want an axe to break the ice
I 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 |

Heaven loves ya
The clouds part for ya
Nothing stands in your way
When youre a boy
Clothes always fit ya
Life is a pop of the cherry
When youre a boy
When youre a boy
You can wear a uniform
When youre a boy
Other boys check you out
You get a girl
These are your favourite things
When youre a boy
Boys
Boys
Boys keep swinging
Boys always work it out
Uncage the colours
Unfurl the flag
Luck just kissed you hello
When youre a boy
Theyll never clone ya
Youre always first on the line
When youre a boy
When youre a boy
You can buy a home of your own
When youre a boy
Learn to drive and everything
Youll get your share
When youre a boy
Boys
Boys
Boys keep swinging
Boys always work it out |
Huh huh huh huh, huh huh huh huh
Huh huh huh huh, huh huh huh huh
Watching them come and go
The Templars and the Saracens
Theyre traveling the holy land
Opening telegrams
Torture comes and torture goes
Knights whod give you anything
They bear the cross of Coeur de Leon
Salvation for the mirror blind
But if you pray
All your sins are hooked upon the sky
Pray and the heathen lie will disappear
Prayers they hide the saddest view
And your prayers, they break the sky in two
Thinking of a different time
Palestine a modern problem
Bounty and your wealth in land
Terror in a best-laid plan
Watching them come and go
Tomorrows and the yesterdays
Christians and the unbelievers
Hanging by the cross and nail
But if you pray
All your sins are hooked upon the sky
Pray and the heathen lie will disappear
Prayers they hide the saddest view
And your prayers, they break the sky in two
You pray til the break of dawn
And you’ll believe you’re loving the alien |

I, I will be king
And you, you will be queen
Though nothing will drive them away
We can beat them, but just for one day
We can be heroes just for one day, hey
And 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
Cause we can be heroes just for one day, oh yeah
We can be heroes just for one day
We can be heroes just for one day
We can be heroes just for one day
We can be heroes just for one day
We can be heroes
We can be heroes just for one day |

Of warm impermanence

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Turn and face the strange

Ooh, look out you rock n rollers

(This next one is a comedy number
This one is written by an American called
Biff Rose; Biff Rose is a legendary character now
He lives just outside of San Francisco
On a mountain in a cabin and hes got a bicyle
And he writes a lot of songs and he cycles down from the cabin to do gigs, in which he never sings, he never sings at any of his gigs
He just talks about shaving and what he saw on the way down from the cabin and how many punctures hes had, and then goes away again and nobodys really heard him sing but he does write somе good songs and hes made a couple of LPs and this onе song, this is one, one called Buzz The Fuzz:)
Once there was a fellow
And his name was Buzz
He was just a rookie cop
Just a baby Buzz
He patrolled the Sunset Strip
In the land of the free
And the home of the hip
He protected you and me
From evil women like
Poor Alice D
Alice was the girl
That all good hippies dread
And they called her
Sweet Alice the head
Alice it was plain to see
Was full of pot and STD
Shed attract a great big crowd
Because her inner peace
Was much too loud!
Good Buzz did the thing
That all the good Fuzz must
Stuck his gun in Alices back
And said This is a bust
Shone the flashlight in her eyes
She began to hypnotize
Buzz said, What a wild sensation
Guess this must be hallucination
Love is so sensational
When you fall in love
With eyes dilational
Now theyre taking pills in shops
Buzz is not afraid of Watts
Buzz and Alice D have shown
The way of where the fuzz
Might be some day
Buzz is still a cop of course
Hes the pusher on the porch
Hes protecting you and me
From evil women like
Poor Alice D |
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 and be not alone
Gimme your hands cause youre wonderful
Gimme your hands cause youre wonderful
Oh, gimme your hands |
Spy, spy, pretty girl
I see you see me through your window
Dont turn your nose up
Well, you can if you need to
You wont be the first or last
It must strain you to look down
So far from your fathers house
And I know what a louse like me
In his house could do for you
Im the cream
Of the great Utopia dream
And youre the gleam
In the depths of your bankers spleen
Im a Phallus in pigtails
And theres blood on my nose
And my tissue is rotting
Where the rats chew my bones
And my eye sockets empty
See nothing but pain
I keep havin this brainstorm
About twelve times a day
So now, you could spend the morning walking with me
Quite amazed
As I am unwashed and somewhat slightly dazed
Ive got eyes in my backside
That see electric tomatoes
On credit card rye bread
There are children in washrooms
Holding hands with a Queen
And my heads full of murders
Where only killers scream
So now you could spend your morning talking with me
Quite amazed
Look out, Im raving mad and somewhat slightly dazed
Now you run from your window
To the porcelain bowl
And youre sick from your ears
To the red parquet floor
And the Braque on the wall
Slides down your front
And eats through your belly
Its very catching
So now, you should spend the morning, lying to your father
Quite amazed
About the strange unwashed and happily slightly dazed
Im not following
Yeah, yeah, baby, yeah
Yeah, yeah, baby, yeah
Yeah, yeah, baby, yeah
Yeah
Dont sit down
Dont sit down
Dont sit down |
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 he wakes 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 |
People stared at the makeup on his face
Laughed at his long black hair, his animal grace
The boy in the bright blue jeans
Jumped up on the stage
And lady stardust sang his songs
Of darkness and disgrace
And he was alright
The band was altogether
Yes, he was alright
The song went on forever
And he was awful nice
Really quite out of sight
And he sang all night long
Femme fatales emerged from shadows to watch this creature fair
Boys stood upon their chairs to make their point of view
I smiled sadly for a love I could not obey
Lady stardust sang his songs of darkness and dismay
And he was alright
The band was altogether
Yes, he was alright
The song went on forever
And he was awful nice
Really quite paradise, and he sang
All night, all night long
Ooh, how I sighed when they asked if I knew his name
Oh, it was alright
The band was altogether
Yes, he was alright
And the song went on forever
He was awful nice
Really quite paradise, he sang
All night long |
Oh-oh-oh-oh, little China Girl
Oh-oh-oh-oh, little China Girl
I could escape this feeling with, with my China Girl
Im just a wreck without my little China Girl
I hear her heart beating, its loud as thunder
I saw the stars crashing
Im just a mess without my little China Girl
Wake up in the morning, wheres my little China Girl?
I hear her heart beating loud as thunder
I saw the stars crashing down
Im feeling tragic like Im Marlon Brando
When I look at my China Girl
I could pretend that nothing really meant too much
When I look at my China Girl, shes so
I stumble into town just like some sacred cow
Visions of swastikas in my head, plans for everyone
Its in the white of my eyes
My little China Girl
You shouldnt mess with me
Ill ruin everything that you are
Ill give you television
Ill give you eyes of blue
But Ill give you a man who wants to rule the world
And when I get excited
My little China Girl, she says
Oh baby, just you shut your mouth
She says shhh
She says shhh
Yeah
She says
Oh-oh-oh-oh, little China Girl
Oh-oh-oh-oh, little China Girl |
Im up on the eleventh floor
And Im watching the cruisers below
Hes down on the street
And hes trying hard to pull sister Flo
Oh, my hearts in the basement
My weekends at an all time low
Cause shes hoping to score
So I cant see her letting him go
Walk out of her heart, walk out of her mind
Oh, not her
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
Yes, 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
Shes so swishy in her satin and tat
In her frock coat and bipperty-bopperty hat
Oh God, I could do better than that
So I lay down a while
And I gaze 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
And 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
Shes so swishy in her satin and tat
In her frock coat and bipperty-bopperty hat
Oh God, I could do better than that
Ooh, you bet ya!
Oh yeah
Uh-huh
Mmm |
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 |
Dont you wonder sometimes
Bout sound and vision
Blue, blue, electric blue
Thats the color of my room
Where I will live
Blue, blue
Pale blinds drawn all day
Nothing to do, nothing to say
Blue, blue
I will sit right down
Waiting for the gift of sound and vision
And I will sing, waiting for the gift of sound and vision
Drifting into my solitude
Over my head
Dont you wonder sometimes
Bout sound and vision |
oh leave me alone you know
oh Henry, get off the phone, I gotta
I gotta straighten my face
This mellow thighed chick just put my spine out of place
my schooldays insane
my works down the drain

She said she had to squeeze it but she, and then she
Oh, dont lean on me, man, cause you cant afford the ticket

Didnt know what time it was and the lights were low
I leaned back on my radio
Some cat was layin down some get it on rock n roll, he said
Then the loud sound did seem to fade
Came back like a slow voice on a wave of phase haze
That werent no D.J. that was hazy cosmic jive
Theres a starman waiting in the sky
Hed like to come and meet us
But he thinks hed blow our minds
Theres a starman waiting in the sky
Hes told us not to blow it
Cause he knows its all worthwhile
He told me:
Let the children lose it
Let the children use it
Let all 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 poppa 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 hed blow our minds
Theres a starman waiting in the sky
Hes told us not to blow it
Cause he knows 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

You know I cant let the opportunity go by without doing one Tin Machine song. Someones gotta be stubborn around here-- youll like this one! That was him just testing you
I cant read, I cant write down
I dont know a book from countdown
I dont know which shadow gets me
All Ive got is someones face
Money goes to money heaven
Bodies go to body hell
I just sit and watch the chase
Switch the channel, watch the police cars
I cant reach it anymore
I just sit back and ignore
I just cant to get it right, I just cant get it right
I cant reach it, I cant reach it
When you see a famous smile
No matter where you run your mile
To be right in that photograph
Well, Andy wheres my fifteen minutes?
I cant reach it anymore
I just sit back and ignore
I just cant to get it right, I just cant get it right
I cant reach it, I cant reach it
Thank you, yeah
New song

War made him a soldier
Little Frankie Mear
Peace left him a loser
The little bombardier
Lines of worry appeared with age
Unskilled hands that knew no trade
Spent his time in the picture house
The little bombardier
Frankie drank his money
The little that he made
Told his woes to no man
Friendless, lonely days
Then one day, in the ABC
Four bright eyes gazed longingly
At the ice-cream in the hand of
The little bombardier
Sunshine entered our Frankies days
Gone his worries, his hopeless maze
His life was fun and his heart was full of joy
Two young children had changed his aims
He gave them toffees and played their games
He brought them presents with every coin he made
Then two gentlemen called on him
Asked him for his name
Why was he friends with the children
Were they just a game?
Leave them alone or we’ll get sore
Weve had blokes like you in the station before
The hand of authority said no more to
The little bombardier
Packed his bags, his heart in pain
Wiped a tear and caught a train
Not to be seen in the town again
The little bombardier |
Look up here, Im in heaven
Ive got scars that cant be seen
Ive got drama, cant be stolen
Everybody knows me now
Look up here, man, Im in danger
Ive got nothing left to lose
Im so high, it makes my brain whirl
Dropped my cell phone down below
Aint that just like me?
Aint that just like
By the time I got to New York
I was living like a king
There I used up all my money
I was looking for your ass
This way or no way
You know Ill be free
Just like that bluebird
Now, aint that just like me?
Oh, Ill be free
Just like that bluebird
Oh, Ill be free, Ill be free
Aint that just, aint that just like me?
Oh, Ill be free
Oh, Ill be free
Oh, Ill be free
Aint that just like, just like me? |
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
Because 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? |
Oh yeah
Now Ziggy played guitar
Jamming good with Weird and Gilly
And The Spiders from Mars
He played it left hand
But made it too far
Became the special man
Then we were Ziggys Band
Ziggy really sang
Screwed up eyes and screwed down hairdo
Like some cat from Japan
He could lick ’em by smiling
He could leave em to hang
He came on so loaded, man
Well hung, snow white tan
So where were the spiders
While the fly tried to break our balls?
Just the beer light to guide us
So we bitched about his fans
And should we crush his sweet hands?
Oh yeah
Ziggy played for time
Jiving us that we were Voodoo
The kids was just crass
He was the naz
With God-given ass
He took it all too far
But boy, could he play guitar
Making love with his ego
Ziggy sucked up into his mind
Like a leper messiah
When the kids had killed a man
I had to break up the band
Oh yeah
Ooh
Ziggy played guitar |
When all the world was very young
Mountain magic heavy hung
The supermen would walk in file
Guardians of a loveless isle
And gloomy browed with super fear, their tragic endless lives
Could heave nor sigh
In solemn, perverse serenities, wondrous beings chained to life
Strange games they would play then
No death for the perfect men
Life rolls into one for them
So softly a supergod cries
Where all were minds in uni-thought
Power weird by mystics taught
No pain, no joy, no power too great
Colossal strength to grasp a fate
Where sad-eyed mermen tossed in slumbers
Nightmare dreams no mortal mind could hold
A man would tear his brothers flesh, a chance to die
To turn to mold
Far out in the red sky
Far out from the sad eyes
Strange, mad celebration
So softly a supergod cries
Far out in the red-sky
Far out from the sad eyes
Strange, mad celebration
So softly a supergod dies |
Oh yeah
Now Ziggy played guitar
Jamming good with Weird and Gilly
And The Spiders from Mars

Sit back and fasten your seat belts now
As Flying Pickets take you out of this world and into the worlds beyond... two, two, four
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
Start 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 shirts 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 Ive crossed 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 hear...
Here am I floating round my tin can
Far above the Moon
Planet Earth is blue
And theres nothing I can do |
Im up on the eleventh floor
And Im watching the cruisers below
Hes down on the street
And hes trying hard
To pull sister Flo
My hearts in the basement
My weekends at an all time low
Cause shes hoping to score
So I cant see her
Letting him go
Walk out of her heart
Walk out of her mind
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
Shes so swishy in her satin and tat
In her frock coat
And bipperty-bopperty hat
Oh God, I could do better than that
So I lay down a while
And I gaze 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
Shes so swishy in her satin and tat
In her frock coat
And bipperty-bopperty hat
Oh God, I could do better than that |
Fame, makes a man take things over
Fame, lets him loose, hard to swallow
Fame, puts you there where things are hollow
Fame
Fame, its not your brain, its just the flame
That burns your change to keep you in... sane
Fame
Fame, what you like is in the limo
Fame, what you get is no tomorrow
Fame, what you need you have to borrow
Fame
Fame, Nein! Its mine! is just his line
To bind your time, it drives you to... crime
Fame
Could it be the best, could it be?
Really be, really, babe?
Could it be, my babe, could it, babe?
Could it, babe? Could it, babe?
Is it any wonder I reject you first?
Fame, fame, fame, fame
Is it any wonder you are too cool to fool
Fame
Fame, bully for you, chilly for me
Got to get a rain check on... pain
Fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame
Fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame
Fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame
Fame
Whats your name? |
Well do a new song first; its very gentle, its called Seven
I forgot what my father said
I forgot what he said
I forgot what my mother said
As we laid upon your bed
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
Really 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
I got seven days to live my life
Or seven ways to die
The gods forgot that they made me
Well I forgot them too
I listen to the shadows
And 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
I got seven days to live my life
And seven ways to die
Seven
Seven
Seven
Seven
Seven
Seven
Seven, oh
Seven
Seven
This is, uh, this also another quite old one from the album Lodger, for all you closet Lodger fans... |
I will be King and you, you will be Queen
Though nothing will drive them away
We can beet them, yust for one day
We can be heroes, just for one day
And you, you can be mean
And 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 steel time just for one day
We can be heroes for ever and ever
Du ... künnts du bloß schwemme
Wie Delfine, Delfine dat dunn
Keiner jitt uns he noch Chance
Doch mir könne jewenne für immer un immer
Mir sinn dann Helde für eine Daach
Ich daach, ich wöhr am Dräume
Die Muer em Rögge war kalt
Schöss zerreesse die Luff
Doch mir büzze, als wöhr nix passiert
Un die Schuld fällt hück ens op ihr Sick
Oh, mir künne jewenne, noh ahl dä Zick
Mir sinn dann Helde, für eine Daach
Dann sind wir Helden. Dann sind wir Helden!
Were nothing, and nothing will help us
Maybe were lying, then you better not stay
But we could be safer, just for one day |

Every chance, every chance that I take
Take it on the road
Kilometers and the red lights
Always looking left and right
Im always crashing in the same car
Jasmine, I caught you peeping
As I put my foot down to the floor
I was going around the hotel garage
Must have been touching close to 94
And Im always crashing in the same car
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
Always crashing in the same car
Yes Im always crashing in the same car
Thank you
By now thats... thats twenty years old that song |
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
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 gonna be pretty kooky, too
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
And if you ever have to go to school
Remember how they messed up this old fool
Dont 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 well 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 |

Big screen dolls, tits and explosions
Sleepy time, bashful but nude
Little wonder then, little wonder
You little wonder, little wonder you
Im getting that
Intergalactic, seeming to be you
Its all in the tablets, sneezy Bhutan
Little wonder then, little wonder
You little wonder, little wonder you
Mars happy nation, sit on my karma
Dame meditation, take me away
Little wonder then, little wonder
You little wonder, little wonder you
Sending me so far away, so far away

Ooh, ooh, so how could they know?
Ah, ah, how could they know?

Im a mama-papa coming for you
Im a space invader
Ill be a rock n roll bitch for you
Keep your mouth shut
Youre squawking like a pink monkey bird
And Im busting up my brains for the words
Keep your lectric eye on me babe
Put your ray gun to my head
Press your space face close to mine, love
Freak out in a moonage daydream, oh yeah
Dont fake it, baby
Lay the real thing on me
The church of man, love

Make me, baby
Make me know you really care
Make me jump into the air

Put your ray gun to my head
Press your space face close to mine, love
Freak out in a moonage daydream, oh yeah
Keep your lectric eye on me babe
Put your ray gun to my head
Press your space face close to mine, love
Freak out in a moonage daydream, oh yeah |
Im waiting for the man
Twenty-six dollars in my hand
Up to Lexington 1-2-5
So sick and dirty, more dead than alive
Im waiting for the man
Hey white boy, what you doin in town
Hey white boy, chasin all the women around
Oh pardon me, sir, its the last thing on my mind
Im just looking for a good friend of mine
Im waiting for the man
Here he comes, hes all dressed in black
Real shoes and a big straw hat
Hes never early, hes always late
First thing you learn is that you always gotta wait
Im waiting for the man
Big dirty building, up three flights of stairs
Nobody stops you cause nobody cares
Hes got the works, gives you sweet taste
Then you gotta split because hes got no time to waste
Im waiting for the man
Baby, dont you holler, darlin, dont you bawl and shout
Im feeling good, Im gonna work it on out
Im feeling good, Im feeling so fine
Until tomorrow but thats just another time
Im waiting for the man
Im waiting for the man
Twenty-six dollars in my hand
Up to Lexington 1-2-5
So sick and dirty, more dead than alive
Im waiting for the man
Waiting for the man
To welcome me home |
I could escape this feeling, with my China Girl
I feel a wreck without my, little China Girl
I hear her heart beating, loud as thunder
Saw the stars crashing
Im a mess without my, little China Girl
Wake up mornings wheres my, little China Girl
I hear hearts beating, loud as thunder
I saw they stars crashing down
I feel an tragic like an Marlon Brando
When I look at my China Girl
I could pretend that nothing really meant too much
When I look at my China Girl
I stumble into town just like a sacred cow
Visions of swastikas in my head
Plans for everyone
Its in the white of my eyes
My little China Girl
You shouldnt mess with me
Ill ruin everything you are
Ill give you television
Ill give you eyes of blue
Ill give you men who want to rule the world
And when I get excited
My little China Girl says
Oh baby just you shut your mouth
She says ... sh
She says
She says
And when I get excited
My little China Girl says
Oh baby just you shut your mouth
And when I get excited
My little China Girl says
Oh baby just you shut your mouth
She says ... sh
She says
Oh oh oh ohoo little China girl
Oh oh oh ohoo little China girl
Oh oh oh ohoo little China girl
Oh oh oh ohoo little China girl
Oh oh oh ohoo little China girl |
Ive come on a few years
From my Hollywood highs
The best of the last
The cleanest star they ever had
Im stiff on my legend
The films that I made
Forget that Im fifty
Cause you just got paid
Crack, baby, crack, show me youre real
Smack, baby, smack, is that all that you feel
Suck, baby, suck, give me your head
Before you start professing that youre knocking me dead
Oh stay
Please stay
You caught yourself a trick
Down on Sunset and Vine
But since he pinned you baby
Youre a porcupine
You sold me illusions
For a sack full of checks
Youve made a bad connection
Cause I just want your sex
Crack, baby, crack, show me youre real
Smack, baby, smack, is that all that you feel
Suck, baby, suck, give me your head
Before you start professing that youre knocking me dead
Crack, baby, crack, show me youre real
Smack, baby, smack, is that all that you feel
Suck, baby, suck, give me your head
Before you start professing that youre knocking me dead |
So far this love is delightful
The face of seduction was you
But I listened for each and every footstep
In this Real Cool World
Questioning saintlike and fantastic heroes
Feeling like lost little children in fabled lands
So I listen for each and every friendship
In this Real Cool World
Now there is you
In my Real Cool World
Starry-eyed life but somehow believing in nothing
You whisper sweet nothing but reading between your lines
I listen color me doubtful
In this Real Cool World
Now there is you
In my Real Cool World
You came from nowhere
You came from nowhere
You held me you shook me
Hey
Its a Cool World
Its a Cool World
Its a Real Cool World
Its a Real Cool World
Its a Real Cool World
Its a Real Cool World
Now there is you
In my Real Cool World
Now there is you
In my Real Cool World
Mmmm
Real Cool World |
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
Because 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? |
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
Woo-hoo
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, oh
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
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, whoa-oh
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
Woo-hoo
Woo-hoo
Oh, 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, oh
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, oh
Go
Go, go |
Its automatic
I need to unload
Under the pressure
Gone middle of the road
Fall into fashion
Fall out again
We stick together
Because it never ends
Here comes a low
Here comes a high
Here comes everything
Here it comes, you, me, well work it out
Here comes tomorrow
One, two, three episodes
We stick together
Gone middle of the road
Cause thats entertainment
Thats the sound of the wheel
Roll on forever
Yeah, you know how it feels
Here comes a low
Here comes a high
Here comes everything
Here it comes
Here comes a high
And there goes a low
Here comes everything
Here it comes, you, me, well work it out
Its automatic
I need to unload
Oh, under the pressure
Gone middle of the road
Here comes a low
Here comes a high
Here comes everything
Here it comes
Here comes a high
And there goes a low
Here comes everything
Here it comes, you, me, well work it out
Work it out
Work it out

Um, this song is a new song and its from hours... and its called... its quite pertinent actually, its called Survive
Oh my, naked eyes
I should have kept you, I should have tried
I should have been a wiser kind of guy
I miss you
Give me wings, give me space
Give me money for change of face
These noisy rooms and fashion pants
I loved you
Wheres the morning in my life?
Wheres the sense in staying right?
Who said time is on my side?
Ive got ears and eyes and nothing in my life
But I survive your naked eyes
Ill survive
You alone across the floor
You and me and nothing more
Youre the big mistake I never made
I never lied to you, I hated when you lied
But Ill survive your naked eyes
Ill survive
Beatle boys, all snowy white
Razzle dazzle clubs every night
Wish Id sent a Valentine
I loved you
But Ill survive
My naked eyes
Ill survive
Ill survive
My naked eyes
Ill survive
Ill survive naked eyes
Ill survive
Ill survive
Thank you; I like doing these new songs, theyre good to play live. That was nice, I like that; I like that one |
These first two songs are from the new album hours... The first song is called Thursdays Child
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, yeah
Throw me tomorrow, oh-oh
Now that Ive really got a chance
Throw me tomorrow, oh-oh
Everythings falling into place
Throw me tomorrow, oh-oh
Seeing my past to let it go
Throw me tomorrow, oh-oh
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
Im innocence in your arms
Throw me tomorrow, oh-oh
Now that I really stand a chance
Throw me tomorrow, oh-oh
Everythings falling into place
Throw me tomorrow, oh-oh
Seeing my past to let it go
Throw me tomorrow, oh-oh
Only for you I dont regret
That I was Thursdays child
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday born I was

Youre just a little girl with grey eyes
Never mind, say something
Wait until the crowd cries
Oh, wait until the crowd cries
Youre just a little girl with grey eyes
So deep in your room
You never leave your room
Something deep inside of me
Yearning deep inside of me
Talking through the gloom
What in the world can you do?
What in the world can you do?
Im in the mood for your love
For your love
For your love
For your love
Im just a little bit afraid of you
Cause love wont make you cry
But, wait until the crowd goes
Oh, wait until the crowd goes
Im just a little bit afraid of you
So deep in your room
You never leave your room
Something deep inside of me
Yearning deep inside of me
Is talking through the gloom
What in the world can I do?
What in the world can I do?
Im in the mood for your love
For your love
For your love
Oh, what you going to say?
Oh, what you going to do?
Ah, what you going to be?
To the real me
To the real me |
Dont you wonder sometimes
Bout sound and vision?
Blue, blue, electric blue
Thats the colour of my room
Where I will live
Blue, blue
Pale blinds drawn all day
Nothing to do, nothing to say
Blue, blue
I will sit right down
Waiting for the gift of sound and vision
And I will sing
Waiting for the gift of sound and vision
Drifting into my solitude
Over my head
Dont you wonder sometimes
Bout sound and vision? |

Dont look down, no-ooh-oh-ooh
I went this morning to the cemetery
To see old Rudy
Valentino buried
Lipstick traces on his name
But when I hear that crazy sound, I dont look down
From Central Park to shanty town
I always hear that crazy sound
From New York to shanty town
Theres always something else
Dont look down, no
Dont look, dont look down
Dont look down
Theyre making sort of crazy sounds
Dont look down, no
Dont know who else came to kneel
On this empty battlefield
But when I hear that crazy sound, I dont look down
From Central Park to shanty town
I always hear that crazy sound
From New York to shanty town
Theres always something else
Dont look down, no
I went this morning to the cemetery

But when I hear that crazy sound, I dont look down
From Central Park to shanty town
I always hear that crazy sound
From New York to shanty town
Theres always something else
Dont look down, no
When I see you standing there
I cant see the clothes you wear
But when I hear that crazy sound, I dont look down
From Central Park to shanty town
I always hear that crazy sound
From New York to shanty town
Theres always something else
Dont look down, no
No I wont be bored I wont be there
Look at life its no piece of cake
But when I hear that crazy sound, I dont look down
From Central Park to shanty town
I always hear that crazy sound
From New York to shanty town
Theres always something else
Dont look down, no |
Fingertip sun at sideshow stalls
They throw the balls
At coconut fur that hides behind
Colored shades that blind your eyes
Every childs mother holds an ice-cream cone
They circle round
Perceived unknown by an eye that peers
From a hole in the tent where no one goes
A figure sitting cross-legged on the floor
Hes clogged and clothed in saffron robes
His beads are all he owns
Slow down
Slow down
Someone must have said lets slow him down
Slow down
Slow down
Its pictured on the arms of the karma man
Fairy tale skin
Depicting scenes from human zoos
Impermanent toys like peace and war
A gentle face youve seen before
Karma man tattooed on your side
The wheel of life
I see my times and who Ive been
I only live now and I dont know why
I struggle hard to take these pictures in
But
All my friends can see is just the pinkness of his skin
Slow down
Slow down
Someone must have said lets slow him down
Slow down
Slow down
Its pictured on the arms of the karma man
Slow down
Slow down
Someone must have said lets slow him down
Slow down
Slow down
Its pictured on the arms of the karma man |

This is a new song, its called The Pretty Things Are Going to Hell...
What to wear?
What to say?
What to do on a sunny day?
Who the phone?
Who to fight?
Who to dance with on a Sunday night?
Im reaching the very edge, you know
Im reaching the very edge
Im going to the other side this time
Im reaching the very edge
Youre still breathing but you dont know why
Lifes a bit and sometimes you die
Youre still breathing but you just cant tell
Dont hold your breath
But the pretty things are going to hell
I am a drug, I am the dragon
I am the best jazz you ever seen
I am the dragon, I am the sky
I am the blood at the corner of your eye
I found the secret, I found gold
I find you out before you grow old
I find you out before you grow old
What is eternal? What is damned?
What is clay and what is sand?
Who to diss? Who to trust?
Who to listen to? Who to suss?
Im reaching the very edge, you know
Im reaching the very edge
Im going to the other side this time
Im reaching the very edge
Youre still breathing but you dont know why
Lifes a bit and sometimes you die
Youre still breathing but you just cant tell
Dont hold your breath
But the pretty things are going to hell
The pretty things are going to hell
They wore it out but they wore it well
The pretty things are going to hell
They wore it out but they wore it well
The pretty things are going to hell
They wore it out but they wore it well
The pretty things are going to hell
They wore it out but they wore it well
Yeah! I tell you now!
Youre still breathing but you dont know why
Youre still breathing but you just cant tell
Dont hold your breath
But the pretty things are going to hell
Youre still breathing but you dont know why
Lifes a bit and sometimes you die
Youre still breathing but you just cant tell
Dont hold your breath
But the pretty things are going to hell
Oh well, hey |
Day in
Day out
Stay in
Fade out
Hoo hoo
Oh hoo hoo
She was born in a handbag
Love left
On a doorstep
What she lacks is a backup
Nothing seems to make a dent
Going to find her some money, honey
Try to pay her rent
Thats the kind of protection everyone is shouting about
Day in
Day out
Stay in
Fade out
Hoo hoo
Oh hoo hoo
First thing she learns is
Shes a citizen
Some things they turn out right
When youre under the USA
Someone rings a bell
And its all over
Shes going out of her way
Stealing for that one good rush
Day in
Day out
Stay in
Fade out
Hoo hoo
Oh hoo hoo
She could use a little money
Shes hanging on his arms
Like a cheap suit
Shes got no money, honey
Shes on the other side
Oh come on little baby
Late night, big town
Police, shake down
Day in
Day out
Stay in
Fade out
Hoo hoo
Shes got a ticket to nowhere
Shes going to take a train ride
Nobody knows her, or knows her name
Shes in the pocket of a home boy
Oh shes going to take her a shotgun, pow
Spin the grail spin the drug
Shes going to make them well aware
Shes an angry girl
Day in
Day out
Stay in
Fade out
And theres angels everywhere
Suddenly shooting her down
Shooting her with video, drugs, bullets, and promises
Angels in a ton of sound... And its—
Day in
Day out
You stay in, or ya...
Ya fade out, fade out
Fade out
Ha, and ya...
Fade out
Fade out, fade out
Hoo hoo
Oh hoo hoo
Hoo hoo |
Maybe I should announce it, should I?
Memory of a free festival.
The Children of the summers end
Gathered in the dampened grass
We played Our songs and felt the London sky
Resting on our hands
It was Gods land
It was ragged and naive
It was Heaven
Touch, We touched the very soul
Of holding each and every life
We claimed the very source of joy ran through
It didnt, but it seemed that way
I kissed a lot of people that day
Oh, to capture just one drop of all the ecstasy that swept that afternoon
To paint that love upon a white balloon
And fly it from the topest top of all the tops
That man has pushed beyond his brain
Satori must be something just the same
We scanned the skies with rainbow eyes
And saw machines of every shape and size
We talked with tall Venusians passing through
And Peter tried to climb aboard but the Captain shook his head
And away they soared
Climbing through the ivory vibrant cloud
Someone passed some bliss among the crowd
And We walked back to the road, unchained
The Sun Machine is coming down, and were gonna have a party
The Sun Machine is coming down, and were gonna have a party
The Sun Machine is coming down, and were gonna have a party
The Sun Machine is coming down, and were gonna have a party
The Sun Machine is coming down, and were gonna have a party
The Sun Machine is coming down, and were gonna have a party |
Tony went to fight in Belfast
Rudi stayed at home to starve
I could make it all worthwhile as a rock & roll star
Bevan tried to change the nation
Sonny wants to turn the world, well, he can tell you that he tried
I could make a transformation as a rock & roll star
So inviting - so enticing to play the part
I could play the wild mutation as a rock & roll star
I could do with the money
Im so wiped out with things as they are
Id send my photograph to my honey
And Id cmon like a regular superstar
I could make a transformation as a rock & roll star
So inviting - so enticing to play the part
I could play the wild mutation as a rock & roll star
Get on with the money
I could do with the money
Im so wiped out with things as they are
Id send my photograph to my honey
And Id cmon like a regular superstar
I could fall asleep at night as a rock & roll star
I could fall in love all right as a rock & roll star
Rock & roll star
Rock & roll star |

Baby, Ive been
Breaking glass in your room again
Listen
Dont look at the carpet
I drew something awful on it
See
Youre such a wonderful person
But you got problems oh-oh-oh-oh
Ill never touch you |
Im closer to the Golden Dawn
Immersed in Crowleys uniform
Of imagery
Im living in a silent film
Portraying Himmlers sacred realm
Of dream reality
Im Drawing to the ragged hole
Im frightened by the total goal
And I aint got the power anymore
No I aint got the power anymore
Im the twisted name on Garbos eyes
Living proof of Churchills lies
Im destiny
Im torn between the light and dark
Where others see their targets
Divine symmetry
Should I kiss the vipеrs fang
Or herald loud the death of Man
Im sinking in thе quicksand of my thoughts
And I aint got the power anymore
Dont believe in yourself
Dont deceive with belief
Knowledge comes with deaths release
Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah!
Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah!
Im not a prophet or a stone age man
Just a mortal with potential of a superman
Im living on
Tethered to the logic of Homo Sapien
Cant take my eyes from the great salvation
Of bullshit faith
If I dont explain what you ought to know
You can tell me all about it
On the next Bardo
Im sinking in the quicksand of my thoughts
And I aint got the power anymore
Dont believe in yourself
Dont deceive with belief
Knowledge comes with deaths release
Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah!
Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah!
Dont believe in yourself
Dont deceive with belief
Knowledge comes with deaths release
Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah!
Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah!
Thank you! Good evening, welcome to Phoenix! |
I was walking through the counters of a national concern
And a cash machine was spitting by my shoulder
And I saw the multitude of faces, honest, rich and clean
As the merchandise exchanged and money roared
And a woman hot with worry slyly slipped a tin of stewing steak
Into the paper bag at her side
And her face was white with fear in case her actions were observed
So she closed her eyes to keep her conscience blind
Crying
God knows Im good
God knows Im good
God knows Im good
God may look the other way today
God knows Im good
God knows Im good
God knows Im good
God may look the other way today
Then she moved toward the exit clutching tightly at her paper bag
Perspiration trickled down her forehead
And her heart it leapt inside her as the hand laid on her shoulder
She was led away bewildered and amazed
Through her deafened ears the cash machines were shrieking on the counter
As her escort asked her softly
For her name
And a crowd of honest people rushed to help a tired old lady
Who had fainted to the whirling
Wooden floor
Crying
God knows Im good
God knows Im good
God knows Im good
Surely God wont look the other way
God knows Im good
God knows Im good
God knows Im good
Surely God wont look the other way |
London bye ta-ta
Strange young town
London bye ta-ta
Brought me down
Dont like your new face
Thats not nice
Got to go far, far
London bye ta-ta
Gigi, Gigi
Take me away
Gigi, Gigi
Take me today
The boys in the clothes shop
Sold me curry for a pound
His cardboard face is soggy
And hes selling thorny crowns
I loved her
I loved her
Ive got to get away
But I loved her
London bye ta-ta
Strange young town
London bye ta-ta
Brought me down
Dont like your new face
Thats not nice
Got to go far, far
London bye ta-ta
Red light, green light
Make up your mind
Red light, green light
Youre much too unkind
She loves to love all beauty
And she says the norm is funny
But she whimpers in the morning
When she finds she has no money
I loved her
I loved her
Ive got to get away now
But I loved her
Ah-oh-ah
Oh, London bye ta-ta
Strange young town
London bye ta-ta
Brought me down
Dont like your new face
Thats not nice
Got to go far, far
London bye ta-ta
Oh, London bye ta-ta
Strange young town
London bye ta-ta
Brought me down
Dont like your new face
Thats not nice
Got to go far, far
London bye, ta-ta
Oh, London bye, ta-ta
Ooh, London bye, ta-ta
Hey ... |
Theres such a sad love, deep in your eyes
A kind of pale jewel, open and closed
Within your eyes
Ill place the sky
Within your eyes
Theres such a fooled heart, beating so fast
In search of new dreams, a love that will last
Within your heart
Ill place the moon
Within your heart
As the pain sweeps through
Makes no sense for you
Every thrill hes caused
Wasnt too much fun at all
But Ill be there for you
As the world falls down
Falling
Falling
Falling in love
Ill paint you mornings of gold
Weave you Valentine evenings
Though were strangers til now
Were choosing the path
Between the stars
Ill leave my love
Between the stars
As the pain sweeps through
Makes no sense for you
Every thrill hes caused
Wasnt too much fun at all
But Ill be there for you
As the world falls down
Falling
As the world falls down
Falling
Makes no sense at all
Makes no sense at all
Makes no sense at all
Makes no sense to fall
As the world falls down
Falling
Falling
Falling in love |

Like me take it everybody I go to bed and wake up
I want to tell our fable, the thin thread of thought is torn
Loud music overloads the membranes two hours?
And leaving only the cougar laugh of that
Everything seems to be simple America
But why does it
She comes in reality suddenly shit
And disappears without a trace gonna shit
To be simple America
To be simple America
Like me get up, get down
How many times her flickers
Fuckin the sadness, in my soul shit
Pushes me harder to the Reaper
Gives me your dont stop the beat
And then, like a waterfall
Dont stop the beat, in remorse, in misfortune
I am ready to give for you everything I have
But the terrible fact interferes
You are there, and I am here, video and audio
There I lie and suffocate
I am missing something
Like me get down in your life right now
All my love like trying right now

In my down old Lord for a shoes right now
In my down old Lord
Like me get down in your life right now

Like me all my sign to God
In my down old Lord for a shoes right now
In my down old Lord
To be simple America
But why does it
She comes in reality suddenly shit
And disappears without a trace gonna shit
Everybody know outside:
On the surgeons table outside
Everybody know outside:
Fear clouded outside
To be simple America
Fear clouded outside
Together the outside, nothing
Together the outside, nothing
Together the outside, nothing
Together the outside, nothing
Sometimes, if youre lucky, someone comes into your life wholl take up a place in your heart
That no one else can fill, someone whos tighter than a twin, more with you than your own shadow
Who gets deeper under your skin on your own
A lot of people like to fool
You and say that youre not smart if you
Never went to college, but common
Sense rules over everythings what, that
The best advice Ive ever got it
Stay true to who you are
And what you
Stand for end
Rollin down the street, smokin indo, sippin on gin an juice
Lay back with my freedom
On my money and my money
Thats why Im so successful because peace is my main thing
Its not about making sure everybody
Is having a good time and loving and living
Johnson say he want
To run it wouldnt be the first time
Around a black freedom
Of their white freedom?
If its freedom hamburgers at McDonalds, be the one?
If its freedom hamburgers flippers in the whatever it is you do you have to master your craft?
Connection
When Im not longer rapping
Im up now
Im up crowd
Im up cloud
Nobody
Nobody studio the party
Nowhere thousand
Nowhere down the control
I wanna open up
I wanna freedom

And wanna?
Wanna the wars I been and all the time?
Yeah, alright
I got its been a learning experience
Everything I been through made me the man
Im so if it was different I would be different man
Ill be music
You be love
Me be studio
In the sweat, in the music, in the moment
So I would say that I really learned stations
In the beginning when you didnt know what to that shit
In that gonna same
In the sweat that
When everything was fresh, just experiencing shit
Thats something you cant buy with all the money in the world
In the studio
Black freedom coming
White freedom
If you ever fall off is what you want
Style aint always just to you might fall
And you gotta come back what style is come off the dome with whatever is on your mind
Im gonna motions
The rap game is there will always be competition and as long
Theres a heavy competition
Theres a heavy conversation in every scene
Theres a never freedom important to know how to station
In case you fall of need
Theres a never seen before me
And theres a gonna be keep going with your love
Theres a never seen
And now first freedom |
Im up on the eleventh floor
And Im watching the cruisers below
Hes down on the street
And hes trying hard to pull sister Flo
Oh, my hearts in the basement
My weekends at an all time low
Cause shes hoping to score
So I cant see her letting him go
Walk out of her heart, walk out of her mind
Oh, not her
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
Yes, 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
Shes so swishy in her satin and tat
In her frock coat and bipperty-bopperty hat
Oh God, I could do better than that
So I lay down a while
And I gaze 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
And 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
Shes so swishy in her satin and tat
In her frock coat and bipperty-bopperty hat
Oh God, I could do better than that
Ooh, you bet ya!
Oh yeah
Uh-huh
Mmm |
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 ageing fast
Then I ran across a monster who was eating by a tree
And I looked and found the monster was me
Well, I said hello
And ya said hello
And I asked, Why not?
And replied I dont know
So we asked a simple blackbird
Who was happy as can be
Well 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-ah-yeah
:
Whoa
Oh-oh-ah
Uh-oh-ah
Oh-ah-ah-
Whoa
Huh-huh-hu
Ooh yeah-eh-eah
Huh
Whoa
Oh-oh-ah
Uh-oh-ah

Had to get the train
From Potsdamer platz
You never knew that
That I could do that
Just walking the dead
Sitting in the Dschungel
On Nürnberger Strasse
A man lost in time near KaDeWe
Just walking the dead
Where are we now? Where are we now?
The moment you know, you know, you know
Twenty thousand people
Cross Bösebrücke
Fingers are crossed
Just in case
Walking the dead
Where are we now? Where are we now?
The moment you know, you know, you know

All clear wail the sirens
Sunshine on the wasteland
Old man sitting in the white sand
Think were in for a big surprise
Right between the eyes
Seemed a good idea
To drop a bomb on the wasteland here
Only one man could be seen
And he was old and so serene
Captain sat in his deck chair
And the red light flashed, beware
Pilot felt quite big-time
As the bomb sailed through the air
Well, they danced and sang
When the bang went bang
When the lights popped out
And the smoke began to clear
It was positively queer
All clear wail the sirens
Sunshine on the wasteland
Old man sitting in the white sand
Think were in for a big surprise
Right between the eyes
Die said the General
Cobblers said the man
So the Pentagon sent a cable
And the Queen a telegram
A-bombs, H-bombs, even very small ones
Ripped apart that sand
Til the stench was just revolting
And the sky a greenish tan
But the soldier said Sir
Theres a crack in the world
And the figures went squash
And the bits flew far and wide
How the universe sighed!
All clear wail the sirens
Sunshine on the wasteland
Old man sitting in the white sand
Think were in for a big surprise
Right between the eyes
All clear wail the sirens
Sunshine on the wasteland
Old man sitting in the white sand
Think were in for a big surprise
Right between the eyes
When the smoke had blown away
There was nothing left to view
Except a man dear Lord who looked like you
Floating high up in the sky |
Im waiting for the man
Twenty-six dollars in my hand
Up to Lexington, 1-2-5
So sick and dirty
More dead than alive
Im waiting for my man
Hey, white boy
What you doin uptown?
Hey, white boy
You chasin our women around?
Oh pardon me sir, it springs to my mind
Im just lookin for a good friend of mine
Im waiting for my man
Here he comes
Hes all dressed in black
PR shoes and a big straw hat
Hes never early
Hes always late
First thing you learn is that you always gotta wait
Im waiting for the man
Baby dont you holler
Darlin dont you scream and shout
Im feeling good
Im gonna work it on out
Im feeling good
Im feeling so fine
Until tomorrow
But thats just another time
Im waiting for my man
I said Im waiting for the man
Twenty-six dollars lying there in my hand
Up to Lexington, 1-2-5
So sick and dirty
More dead than alivе
Im waiting for the man
Back door man, oh

Cold fire
Youve got everything but cold fire
You will be my rest and peace child
I moved up to take a place
Near you
So tired
Its the sky that makes you feel tried
Its a trick to make you see wide
It can all but break your heart
In pieces
Staying back in your memory
Are the movies in the dark
How you moved is all it takes
To sing a song of when I loved
The prettiest star
Staying back in your memory
Are the movies in the dark
How you moved is all it takes
To sing a song of whеn I loved
The prettiеst star
One day
Though it might as well be someday
You will rise up high and take us all away
All because of what you are
The prettiest star |
Johnnys an American he drinks at the wheel
No one needs anyone they dont even just pretend
Johnnys an American
Im afraid of Americans
Im afraid of the world
Im afraid I cant help it
Im afraid I cant..
Donalds an American Donald looks up at the stars
Donald combs his hair back, Donald likes pussy in cars
Donalds an American
Im afraid of Americans
Im afraid of the world
Im afraid I cant help it
Im afraid I cant

You know who I am, he said
The speaker was an angel
He coughed and shook his crumpled wings
Closed his eyes and moved his lips
Its time we should be going
Look back in anger, see it in my eyes
Til you come
Look back in anger, feel it in my voice
Til you come
No one seemed to hear him
So he leafed through a magazine
Yawning, rubbed the sleep away and
Very sane he seemed to me
Look back in anger, see it in my eyes
Til you come
Look back in anger, feel it in my voice
Til you come
Waiting so long, Ive been waiting so, waiting so
Waiting so long, Ive been waiting so, waiting so
Waiting so long aaaaaah
Waiting so long, Ive been waiting
Waiting so long, Ive been waiting
Waiting so long, Ive been waiting
Waiting so long, Ive been waiting
Hello!
Lets go back into the recess of time |
Pushing through the market square
So many mothers sighing
News had just come over
We had five years left to cry in
News guy wept and told us
Earth was really dying
Cried so much, his face was wet
Then I knew he was not lying
I heard telephones, opera house
Favourite melodies
I saw boys, toys
Electric irons and TVs
My brain hurt like a warehouse
It had no room to spare
I had to cram so many things
To store everything in there
And all the fat-skinny people
And all the tall-short people
And all the nobody people
And all the somebody people
I never thought Id need so many people
A girl my age went off her head
Hit some tiny children
If the black hadnt a-pulled her off
I think she would have killed them
A soldier with a broken arm
Fixed his stare to the wheels of a Cadillac
A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest
And a queer threw up at the sight of that
I think I saw you in an ice-cream parlour
Drinking milkshakes cold and long
Smiling and waving and looking so fine
Dont think you knew you were in this song
And it was cold and it rained
So I felt like an actor
And I thought of ma
And I wanted to get back there
Your face, your race
The way that you talk
I kiss you, youre beautiful
I want you to walk
Weve got five years, stuck on my eyes
Weve got five years, what a surprise
Weve got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Weve got five years, thats all weve got |
Oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh

We passed upon the stair
We spoke of was and when
Although I wasnt there
He said I was his friend
Which came as some surprise
I spoke into his eyes, I thought you died alone
A long long time ago
Oh no, not me
I never lost control
Youre face to face
With the man who sold the world
I laughed and shook his hand
And made my way back home
I searched for form and land
For years and years I roamed
I gazed a gazeless stare
At all the millions here
We must have died alone
A long long time ago
Who knows? Not me
We never lost control
Youre face to face
With the man
With the man who sold the world |
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 |
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
Youve 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
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 |
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 untill 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 |
