One Fine Day

The first thing given to me was a lucky face
I could charm the birds out of the trees before I could tie my lace
I was a backstreet Pharoah, nobody could take my place
I thought that I could give everybody a dream
And change the whole bloody world with a song and scream
But i didn't want to be your Jesus, that's not my scene
But one fine day, I through it all away
I turned on a Cuban heel and walked out of there
One fine day, I threw it all away
Now there's no money in my pocket and my cupboard is always bare
Winston O'Boogie!

Crazy Faces

Julia and Fred
Breaking the bed
Fucking with my head
I hope you're ready for my reputation
and my
Crazy faces and my flames
Julia and Fred
I'm sick in the head
Wish that I was dead
I hope you're ready for my discrimination
and my
Crazy faces and my flames
They fucked me up, my mum and dad.

I'm Alright
02:29
|
|

Move on world
I got nothing
You see I threw it all away
Now there's no money for the bus home
Oh, I know that I have wasted many hours
Still the mountain top is out of reach
But I'm alright, I'm still free
I'm alright I'm still me
I'm alright

Cal
Am I dreaming?
I don't remember who I'm supposed to be
Cal
Do you know how I feel about you?
Cal
Why can't I be happy?
Even the simple things are hard to do
Cal
There's a place in this world for you
And me
And though the years run away from me
The days suck the life out of my bones
But the way you look at me
It knocks me right over

Easy Come, Easy Go
01:02
|
|
||
I dreamed a dream
My dreams came true
When I awoke my dreams were through
Easy come, easy go
I had a girl
We had a son
I ran as fast as I could run
Easy come, easy go
Hail! Hail! Rock 'n' Roll
I took my ball and I went home
Easy come, easy go
My mother got hit
By a copper's car
Died on the street
On her own, in the dark
Easy come
Easy go

Jack Jones
How did I sink so low?
All on my Jack Jones
Where did everybody go?
I used to believe
But I was deceived
Now it's just me and the stranger in the mirror
If you want to know why
I hardly smile
Well I'm a glass is always half smashed kind of guy
You can carve that on my headstone
I
No matter how hard I try
To fit with the world outsiude
I always end up
Back in my room on my
Jack Jones
I'm on my Jack Jones
high up in my favourite tree
All on my Jack Jones
Where can everybody be?
The people below
Look at them go
Always fighting over one thing or another
Lost in the fog
Gone to the dogs
This country's so far right
I fall out of bed at n ight
I
No matter how hard I try
To fit with the world outsiude
I always end up
Back in my room on my
Jack Jones

Only You Can See Me
03:50
|
|

If you believe in nothing
Then you'll believe in anything
I believe in a supreme being
I believe it's you
The sun cannot find me
On the brightest of days
No shadow
No footprints
No reflection I make
Only you can see me
Look at me
I'm a fog to my family
I'm a ghost to my friends
I'm like a blur to myself
The sun cannot find me
On the brightest of days
No shadow
No footprints
No reflection I make
Only you can see me

Land of the Living
04:24
|
|

Now I'm back
In the land of the living
I will not stumble
I will not fall
Now I'm back
In the land of the living
I shall not be humble
I shall not kneel
Your number one
prodigal son
is here
And I'll take you all
from the wigwam
down to the pier
'Cos now I'm back
In the land of the living
I will not stumble
I will not fall
Now I'm back
In the land of the living
I shall not be humble
I shall not yield
The rain anoints
The sun appoints
My crown
The bells ring
Your returning king's
Yome town
Now I'm back
In the land of the living
I will not stumble
I will not fall
Now I'm back
In the land of the living
I shall not be humble
I shall not kneel

Snodgrass

Hey, man
You look a lot like Snodgrass
Don't even try to understand
Hey, man
You talk a lot like Snodgrass
Don't even try to understand
Nine to five
the long slow turn of the knife
Boring people with their boring lives
kettle on
The office clock sits on its hands
What are you looking at?
What do you want from me, Snodgrass?
You look a lot like Snodgrass

The years roll down my face
I can't even try to trace them
The years roll down my face
Oh, I know how I have wasted them
Easy come, easy go

Your Body
03:49
|
|
||
Your body trembles
Beneath your dress
The cold wind blows up from the Mersey
Your life's arranged
Mine's a mess
We fumble blindly
In an alley
Where can we go?
Where can we go?
Where others can't find
Where can we go?
Where can we go?
Where others can't find us
Your mother cries
And paints her nails
Your father hides
Within his shadows
Your brother runs
Without a word
And leaves you
drowning in the suburbs
Where can we go?
Where can we go?
Where others can't find
Where can we go?
Where can we go?
Where others can't find us
