Hold my hand fix my head two can play at that game she said. Loneliness fills the space left behind by what you use to be.
Is it me or am I the only one that sees the hint of revolution in their eyes. Saturday the future seen this is too god damn predictable and now I am feeling bad receiving pain scribble me out start over again.
Is it me or am I the only one that sees the hint of revolution in their eyes. Chinese whispers for and against trial by face book and the jury's incensed. This will make no difference this is of no consequence theirs a hint of revolution in their eyes.
Sycophant worker ant building empires on the trodden one and now you build your house you paint your sun your digging you English country garden
Is it me or am I the only one that sees the hint of revolution in their eyes. Chinese whispers for and against trial by face book and the jury's incensed. This will make a difference this is of no consequence theirs a hint of revolution in their eyes, oh theirs a hint of revolution in their eyes. So come on hold my hand fix my head two can play at that game she said.

Lucy wants to buy a plot in the sky, but she doesn't want to buy a plot that's up to high.
She wants something to be true, the little green men have got as much chance as you.
Oh dear God what did you say or is she talking to herself again
Billy was a kid that had lost his way so he went and found himself a war in which he could play.
Chewing all the excess he bit off he gets down on his knees and he prays to God.
Oh dear Lord what did you say or is he talking to himself again
Ice water bath water water cold mirror razor blade, the mirror in the bathroom is cracked. We've got black ghetto's white ghetto's piggy in the middle all the children and the gangster get whacked.
It's sole destroying it's such a waste so predictable and in poor taste, a crying shame there for the grace, it's unforgivable to teach your kids to hate, this is the 51st state
Sky flowers don't take your eye off the ball
Hold back the tide set the sun fill the rivers let them run to the sea to the waves to the salty salty spray and the sand 'neath your feet making bricks making streets moving on moving up try your best to get above.
Looking down upon creation, one big happy loved up nation finally the realisation that we just need it other...YEAH
Grass and the mud and the bugs and the sunshine on your face there's a crack in a place in a place that leaves a space where we live where we die when we move on and we shine burning up burning bright burning bright just like the SKY FLOWERS don't take your eye off the ball

Island

I'm gonna sing a song I'm gonna make a record
I'm gonna buy myself some stuff to feel better
Buy an island in the sun and I will make balloons for you
I have 8 fingers and 2 thumbs but they oppose me
I'm very bad with names but everybody knows me
The spotlight's hot I'm getting off so you won't you stop the world for me
And the rain comes down put outs the fire the grass is getting greener we're still getting high, this towns dry that's why I need an Island
Ba Ba Ba Ba....
I'm off to see my friend he likes to tell me stories, one in particular about a rouge strawberry, when there were far too many Eddie Murphy's in the room - boom boom
Why are so many people vertically challenged lay on their backs while their skin is going orange, pale & pasty is pretty cool you know when you've been tango-ed
And the rain comes down puts out the fire the grass is getting greener & we're still getting high his towns dry that's why I need an Island
I could have told you she was much older so much older than she said. I could have told you she was much older so much older than But I know that you know that we know what's its all about I know that you know that we know what's its all about
And the rain comes down out the fire the grass is getting greener and we're still getting high that's why I need an Island
Ba Ba Ba Ba....

My Love
I'm writing you a letter in the hope that you feel better about our twisted and unsavoury goodbye
I didn't mean to hurt you or control you or subvert you and I really didn't mean to make you cry
I would give my left eye just to see you with my right
But I guess your doing fine inside your comfortable shoes and there's no need to find the time to fight for you
Today my love will stay some day my love will stray
Just sit there boozing choosing records and amusing all your feckless and abused associates
But who will pay the price for all the days and all the nights and all the time you chose to hide your love away
I would give my right hand just to touch you with my left but I'm too far up stream for you to hear my desperate screams and if you heard them then I doubt that you would help
Today my love will stay some day my love will stray always my love will stay some day my love will stray
I've been feeling twisted I'm a lemon sunk in whiskey I'm a biscuit dunked in a very well made brew
I am half a man the other half is in a can it's stuck up in a tree and it has no canoe
I would give my right hand just to touch you with my left but I'm too far up stream for you to hear my desperate screams and if did then I doubt that you would help
Today my love will stay some day my love will stray always my love will stay some day your love will stray
