Step off the train, all alone at dawn
Back into the hole where I was born The sun in the sky never raised an eye to me There's blood on the tracks, and it must be mine The fool on the hill and I feel fine Don't look back, 'cos you know what you might see Look into the wall of my minds eye I think I know but I don't know why The questions are the answers you might need Coming in a mess going out in style I ain't good looking, but I'm someone's child No-one can give me the air that's mine to breathe I met my maker, I made him cry And on my shoulder, he asked me why His people won't fly through the storm I said "Listen up man, they don't even know you're born" All my people right here, right now, D'You Know What I Mean? Yeah Yeah All my people right here, right now D'You Know What I Mean? Yeah, Yeah I don't really care for what you believe So open up your fist or you won't recieve The thoughts and the words of every man you'll need So get up off the floor and believe in life No-one's ever gonna ever ask you twice Get on the bus and bring it on home to me I met my maker, I made him cry And on my shoulder, he asked me why His people won't fly through the storm I said "Listen up man, they don't even know you're born" All my people right here, right now They Know What I Mean Yeah, Yeah ... |
Everybody knows...
But no-one's saying nothing And it's a sound so very loud... That no-one can hear I got something in my shoe... It’s keeping me from walking Down the long and winding road... Back home to you Around this town you've ceased to be That's what you get for sleeping with the enemy Where angels fly you won't play So guess who's gonna take the blame for... My big mouth, my big name Who'll put on my shoes while they're walking Slowly down the hall of fame? Into my big mouth you could fly a plane Who'll put on my shoes while they're walking Slowly down the hall of fame? Slowly down the hall of fame I ain't never spoke to God And I ain't never been to heaven But you assumed I knew the way Even though the map was given And as you look into the eyes Of a bloody cold assasin Only then you'll realize With who's life you have been messin' |
An extra-ordinary guy
Can never have an ordinary day He might live the long goodbye But that is not for me to say I dig his friends, I dig his shoes He is just a child with nothing to lose But his mind, his mind They are sleeping while they dream And then they want to be adored They who don’t say what they mean Will live and die by their own sword I dig their friends, I dig their shoes They are like a child with nothing to lose But their minds, their minds But I’ll have my way – in my own time I’ll have my say My star will shine Because you see me I’ve got my magic pie Think of me yeah that was me I was that passer-by I’ve been and now I’ve gone There are but a thousand days preparing for a thousand years Many minds to educate and people who have disappeared D’you dig my friends? D’you dig my shoes? I am like a child with nothing to lose but my mind, my mind |
Made a meal and threw it up on Sunday
I've got a lot of things to learn Said I would and I believe in one day Before my heart starts to burn. So what's the matter with you? Sing me something new... Don't you know The cold and wind and rain don't know They only seem to come and go, away Times are hard when things have got no meaning I've found a key upon the floor Maybe you and I will not believe in the things we find behind the door Stand By Me -- Nobody knows the way it's gonna be Stand By Me -- Nobody knows the way it's gonna be Stand By Me -- Nobody knows the way it's gonna be If you're leaving will you take me with you I'm tired of talking on my phone But there is one thing I can never give you My heart will never be your home. |
They're trying hard to put me in my place
And that is why I gotta keep running The future is mine and it's no disgrace Cos in the end the past means nothing You tell me I'm free then you tie me down And from my chains I think it's a pity What did it cost you to wear my crown You don't like me why don't you admit it I feel a little down today And I ain't got much to say It's you're gonna miss me when I'm not there You know I don't care, you know I don't care As we beg and steal and borrow Life is hit an miss and this I hope, I think, I know If I ever hear the names you call And if I stumble catch me when I fall Cos baby after all You'll never forget my name You'll never forget my name You're trying hard to put me in my place And that is why I gotta keep running The future is mine and it's your disgrace Cos in the end your laugh means nothing |
If I may be so bold that I just say something,
Come and make me my day, The clouds around your soul don't gather there for nothing, I can chase them all away, Why d'you need a reason for to feel happy, Or shining for the rest of the world, Give me just a smile and would you make it snappy, Get your shit together girl, You've got a feeling lost inside, It just won't let you go. Your life is sneaking up behind, It just wont let you go, No it just wont let you go, Is what I'm trying to say Is won't you maybe, come dancin with me, Cos to me it does'nt matter If your hopes and dreams are shattered When you say something, you make me believe, In the girl who wears a dirty shirt, She knows exactly what she's worth, She knows exactly what she's worth to me, But I can see, I can see. If you ever find yourself inside a bubble, You gotta make your own way home, You can call me anytime you're seeing double, Now you know your not alone, You've got a feeling lost inside, It just won't let you go. Your life is sneeking up behind, It just wont let you go, No it just wont let you go, Is what I'm trying to say. Is won't you maybe, come dancin with me, Cos to me it does'nt matter If your hopes and dreams are shattered When you say something, you make me believe, You're the girl who wears a dirty shirt, Maybe she'll come dancin with me, Cos to me it doesn't matter if her hopes and dreams are shattered, When she says something, she makes me believe, In the girl who wears a dirty shirt She knows exactly what she's worth, She knows exactly what she's worth to me, She knows exactly what she's worth to me, She knows exactly what she's worth to me, Now I can see, Now I see, Now I see, Now I see Now I see |
Get on the rollercoaster
The fair's in town today Y'gotta be bad-enough to beat the brave So get on the helter skelter Bowl into the fray Y'gotta be bad-enough to beat the brave You fade in-out You fade in-out Without a doubt I don't see no shine Today is just a daydream Tomorrow we'll be castaway Coming in-out of nowhere Singin' rhapsody Y'gotta be bad-enough to wanna be Sitting upside a high-chair With the devils refugee Is gonna be-blinded by the light That follows me She fade in-out She fade in-out Without a doubt I don't see no shine Today is just a daydream Tomorrow she'll be castaway We fade in-out We fade in-out Without a doubt I don't see no shine Today is just a daydream Tomorrow we'll be castaway Get on the rollercoaster The fair's in town today Y'gotta be bad-enough to beat the brave You fade in-out You fade in-out You fade in-out You fade in-out You fade in-out You fade in-out You fade in-out You fade in-out You fade in-out |
Cold and frosty morning there's not a lot to say
About the things caught in my mind And as the day is dawning my plane flew away Wall the things caught in my mind And I don't wanna be there when you're coming down And I don't wanna be there when you hit the ground So don't go away Say what you say But say that you'll stay Forever and a day in the time of my life 'Cause I need more time Yes, I need more time, just to make things right Damn my situation and the games i have to play With all the things caught in my mind Damn my education i can't find the words to say About the things caught in my mind And I don't wanna be there when you're coming down And I don't wanna be there when you hit the ground So don't go away Say what you say But say that you'll stay Forever and a day in the time of my life 'Cause I need more time Yes, I need more time, just to make things right Me and you what's going on? All we seem to know is how to show the feelings that are wrong So don't go away Say what you say But say that you'll stay Forever and a day in the time of my life 'Cause I need more time Yes, I need more time, just to make things right And don't go away Say what you say But say that you'll stay Forever and a day in the time of My life 'Cause I need more time Yes, i need more time, just to make things right 'Cause I need more time Yes, i need more time, just to make things right 'Cause I need more time Yes, i need more time, just to make things right So don't go away |
Wash your face in the morning sun
Flash your pen at the song that I'm singing Touchdown bass living on the run Make no sweat at the hole that you're digging Wrap up cold when it's warm outside Your shit jokes remind me of Digsy's Be my magic carpet ride Fly me down to capital city in the sun Kicking up a storm from the day that I was born Sing a song for me one from 'Let It Be' Open up your eyes get a grip on yourself inside |
It's a bit early in the midnight hour for me
To go through all the things that I want to be I don't believe in everything I see Y'know I'm blind so why d'you disagree So take me away cos I just dont want to stay Cos all the lies you make me say Are getting deeper every day These are crazy days but they make me shine Time keeps rolling by All Around The World, you've gotta spread the word Tell 'em what you heard You're gonna make a better day All Around The World, you've gotta spread the word Tell 'em what you heard You know it's gonna be okay So what you gonna do when the walls come falling down? You never move you never make a sound So where you gonna swim with the ridges that you found? If you're lost at sea then I hope that you've drowned. |
Shout it from the rooftops that you're here
Even if it means nothing Make us realize all that we're here Do it in a wise teaching Wishing on a wave that soon appears Something about a life teaches You to build a castle in the sun Maybe the songs I sing are wrong Maybe the dreams I dream are gone Bring it on home and it won't be long It's getting better, man And what was that you said to me? Just say the word and I'll be free And while the stars are shining bright It's getting better, man And crashing in upon a wave It's coming up beyond the grave I'll light a fire in the sky It's getting better, man Build something Build a better place and call it home Even if it means nothing You'll never ever feel that you're alone Maybe the songs I sing are wrong Maybe the dreams I dream are gone Bring it on home and it won't be long It's getting better, man And what was that you said to me? Just say the word and I'll be free And while the stars are shining bright It's getting better, man And crashing in upon a wave It's coming up beyond the grave I'll light a fire in the sky It's getting better, man It's getting better, man And what was that you said to me? Just say the word and I'll be free And while the stars are shining bright It's getting better, man And crashing in upon a wave It's coming up beyond the grave I'll build a fire in the sky It's getting better, man It's getting better, man It's getting better, man It's getting better, man It's getting better, man It's getting better, man It's getting better, man It's getting better, man It's getting better, man |
