I live my life in the city
There's no easy way out The day's moving just too fast for me I need some time in the sunshine I gotta slow it right down The day's moving just too fast for me I live my life for the stars that shine People say it's just a waste of time Then they say I should feed my head That to me was just a day in bed I'll take my car and drive real far They're not concerned about the way we are In my mind my dreams are real Now we're concerned about the way I feel Tonight I'm a rock 'n' roll star Tonight I'm a rock 'n' roll star I live my life in the city There's no easy way out The day's moving just too fast for me I need some time in the sunshine I gotta slow it right down The day's moving just too fast for me I live my life for the stars that shine People say it's just a waste of time Then they say I should feed my head That to me was just a day in bed I'll take my car and drive real far They're not concerned about the way we are In my mind my dreams are real Now we're concerned about the way I feel Tonight I'm a rock 'n' roll star Tonight I'm a rock 'n' roll star Tonight I'm a rock 'n' roll star You're not down with who I am Look at you now you're all in my hands tonight Tonight I'm a rock 'n' roll star Tonight I'm a rock 'n' roll star Tonight I'm a rock 'n' roll star It's just rock 'n' roll It's just rock 'n' roll It's just rock 'n' roll It's just rock 'n' roll It's just rock 'n' roll It's just rock 'n' roll It's just rock 'n' roll It's just rock 'n' roll |

Hey you! Up in the sky
Learning to fly Tell me how high Do you think you'll go Before you start falling Hey you! Up in a tree You wanna be me But that couldn't be 'Cause the people here they don't hear you calling How does it feel When you're inside me? Hey you! wearing the crown Making no sound I heard you feel down Well that's too bad Welcome to my world Hey you! Stealing the light I heard that the shine's Gone out of your life. Well that's just too bad Welcome to my world You'll need assistance with the things that you have never ever seen It's just a case of never breathing out Before you've breathed it in How does it feel When you're inside me? Hey you! Up in the sky Learning to fly Tell me how high Do you think you'll go Before you start falling Hey you! Up in a tree You wanna be me But that couldn't be 'Cause the people here they don't hear you calling How does it feel When you're inside me? You'll need assistance with the things that you have never ever seen It's just a case of never breathing out Before you've breathed it in How does it feel When you're inside me? |
There we were now here we are

I need to be myself
I can't be no-one else I'm feeling supersonic Give me gin and tonic You can have it all but how much do you want it? You make me laugh Give me your autograph Can I ride with you in your BMW? You can sail with me in my yellow submarine You need to find out Cause no-one's gonna tell you What I'm on about You need to find a way For what you want to say But before tomorrow Cause my friend said he'd take you home He sits in a corner all alone He lives under a waterfall Nobody can see him Nobody can ever hear him call Nobody can ever hear him call You need to be yourself You can't be no-one else I know a girl called Elsa She's into Alka-Seltzer She sniffs it through a cane on a supersonic train And she makes me laugh I got her autograph She done it with a doctor On a helicopter She's sniffing in a tissue Selling the Big Issue When she finds out No-one's gonna tell her what I'm on about You need to find a way For what you want to say But before tomorrow Cause my friend said he'd take you home He sits in a corner all alone He lives under a waterfall Nobody can see him Nobody can ever hear him call Nobody can ever hear him call |
What was that sound ringing around your brain?
Today was just a blur, you've got a head like a ghost train What was that sound ringing around your brain? You're here on your own who you gonna find to blame? You're the outcast, you're the underclass But you don't care, because you're living fast You're the uninvited guest who stays 'till the end I know you've got a problem that the devil sends You think they're talking 'bout you but you don't know who I'll be scraping your life from the sole of my shoe tonight Bring it on down, bring it down for me Your head's in a fish tank Your body and your mind can't breath Bring it on down, bring it down for me Your head's in a fish tank Your body and your mind can't breath You're the outcast, you're the underclass But you don't care, because you're living fast You're the uninvited guest who stays 'till the end I know you've got a problem that the devil sends You think they're talking 'bout you but you don't know who I'll be scraping their lives from the sole of my shoe tonight |
Is it my imagination
Or have I finally found something worth living for? I was looking for some action But all I found was cigarettes and alcohol You could wait for a lifetime To spend your days in the sunshine You might as well do the white line 'Cause when it comes on top... You gotta make it happen! Is it worth the aggravation To find yourself a job when there's nothing worth working for? It's a crazy situation But all I need are cigarettes and alcohol! You could wait for a lifetime To spend your days in the sunshine You might as well do the white line 'Cause when it comes on top... You gotta make it happen! |
What a life it would be
If you would come to mine for tea I'll pick you up at half past three And we'll have lasagna I'll treat you like a Queen I'll give you strawberries and cream And then your friends will all go green For my lasagna These could be the best days of our lives But I don't think we've been living very wise Oh no! no! What a life it would be If you would come to mine for tea I'll pick you up at half past three And we'll have lasagna These could be the best days of our lives But I don't think we've been living very wise Oh no! no! What a life it would be If you would come to mine for tea I'll pick you up at half past three And we'll have lasagna I'll treat you like a Queen I'll give you strawberries and cream And then your friends will all go green For my lasagna |
Slide away and give it all you've got
My today fell in from the top I dream of you and all the things you say I wonder where you are now? Hold me down all the world's asleep Need you now you've knocked me off my feet I dream of you and we talk of growing old But you said please don't! Slide in baby together we'll fly I've tried praying but I don't know just what you're saying to me Now that you're mine We'll find a way Of chasing the sun Let me be the one that shines with you In the morning we don't know what to do Two of a kind We'll find a way To do what we've done Let me be the one who shines with you And we can slide away Slide away Slide away Away Slide away, and give it all you've got My today, fell in from the top I dream of you and all the things you say I wonder where you are now? Slide in baby together we'll fly I've tried praying and I know just what you're saying to me Now that you're mine We'll find a way Of chasing the sun Let me be the one that shines with you In the morning we don't know what to do We are two of a kind We'll find a way To do what we've done Oh, let me be the one that shines with you And we can slide away Slide away Slide away Slide away Slide away Slide away Slide away Slide away Slide away Slide away Slide away Slide away Slide away Slide away Slide away Slide away Slide away Slide away |
There's no need for you to say you're sorry
Goodbye I'm going home I don't care no more so don't you worry Goodbye I'm going home I hate the way that even though you Know you're wrong you say you're right I hate the books you read and all your friends Your music's shitty it keeps me up all night, up all night There's no need for you to say you're sorry Goodbye I'm going home I don't care no more so don't you worry Goodbye I'm going home I hate the way that you are so sarcastic And you're not very bright You think that everything you've done's fantastic Your music's shitty it keeps me up all night, up all night And it will be nice to be alone For a week or two But I know that I will be Right back here with you There's no need for you to say you're sorry Goodbye I'm going home I don't care no more so don't you worry Goodbye I'm going home |
