An insolent speck of youth
Being taken for a walk So tightly by the ear That he can hardly talk Yesterday's men hang to today To sing in the old-fashioned way It must get better in the long run Has to get better in the long run A metropolitan marathon Has been held today But who you need to catch Will be coming the other way Yesterday's men hang to today To sing in any old way It must get better in the long run Has to get better in the long run Because when you're told to start How far can you go When your race is won And you already know Because when you're told to stop How far will you go When your race is run And you already know Yesterday's men hang to today, To sing in any old way, It must get better in the long run Has to get better in the long run Will it get better in the long run Will we be here in the long run Yesterday's men hang to today, To sing in any old way, It must get better in the long run Has to get better in the long run Will it get better in the long run Will we be here in the long run Do, do, do, hang on in the long run. |

Here they come again hop scotching up to my door
One by one again knockety knock knocking upon my floor Swinging on my gate they gain entry by the yard Pulling at my hair they scream paint your thoughts upon my card But not tonight I've got studies to examine Tomorrow I'll be watching all the Queen's men A talent contest on Monday with my Uncle Sam Who now takes up all of my time he gives me things to do 'Cause he's a wonderful man But I'm sailing across the sea to see my Uncle Sam I'm sailing across the sea to be with my Uncle Sam To be with my Uncle Sam Silly little sniggers from the women liberators But I'll stand and hold my post Polished buttons and erect I'll raise the flag I'll show those women who's the most But not tonight I've got studies to examine Tomorrow I'll be watching all the Queen's men A talent contest on Monday with my Uncle Sam Who now takes up all of my time, gives me things to do He's a wonderful man But I'm sailing across the sea to see my Uncle Sam I'm sailing across the sea to be with my Uncle Sam I'm sailing across the sea to see my Uncle Sam I'm sailing across the sea to be with my Uncle Sam But not tonight I've got studies to examine Tomorrow ah ah ah And tomorrow I'll be watching all the Queen's men A talent contest on Monday with my Uncle Sam Who now takes up all of my time he gives me things to do 'Cause he's a wonderful man I'm sailing across the sea to see my Uncle Sam I'm sailing across the sea to be with my Uncle Sam I'm sailing across the sea to see my Uncle Sam I'm sailing across the sea to be with my Uncle Sam |

Down between the sunbeams the moneylenders chat Hiding in the shade outside a council flat Kids in the lift looking for things to throw And practising their aim on the heads below They make their apologies with the quickness of their feet Then lost in the heat haze that shimmers across the street Underfoot the pavement is melting Crumbling for the luckiest girl The whole world is melting. (White white heat) I'm still not in until a week next Wednesday I'm holidaying on the roof (c)til the big bad wolf goes away In the street the pavement is melting Crumbling for the luckiest girl The whole world is melting. White heat turns the street upside down. Down between the sunbeams the debt collectors chat, chat, chat, chat, Hiding in the shade outside a council flat By the hairs on my chinny chin chin I shall not let you in. In the street the pavement is melting Crumbling for the luckiest girl The whole world is melting. (For the luckiest girl in all the world) (White, white heat |

The government have announced That London Bridge is to be closed Under the full moon of May the third All the light houses and seaside roads No I never heard I never read in the news Come on tell me, who's this for ? Lighting the questions and Burning the boats one by one Burning the boats one by one by Tap, tap, tap, birds that sing, Telephone calls that do not ring, One, two, three, what's the time ? Who's that hanging off my line ? I know that nothing lasts for ever And I'm just waiting for the sun to set Blowing dust from my loud hailer, on the roof. Come on tell me, who's this for ? Lighting the questions and Burning the boats one by one Burning the boats one by one Burning the boats one by one by The ministry of co-operation Are washed and hanging on the line There's a million burning questions To set the Thames alight Now I've joined an exclusive club Just by being more than poor I saw the deputy chairman, on the floor. Come on tell me, who's this for ? Lighting the questions and Burning the boats one by one Burning the boats one by one Burning the boats one by one by Burning the boats one by one Burning the boats |

Now I see tears you can't hide
Carry the world on your back Heavy weights tear you apart Now I see tears you can't hide Feel in a rage can't speak up for yourself All that you try to do it's no good anyway Now I see tears you can't hide No use saying it's a crime Voices surround me but they lie, lie Hold out your hand together make your stand You may be alone you may feel scared inside Now I see tears you can't hide No use saying it's a crime Voices surround me but they lie, lie (Just hit me with your saxophone, Lee) Now I see tears you can't hide Now I see tears you can't hide Now I see tears you can't Tears you can't tears you can't hide |

It's raining again,
I'm hearing its pitter patter down. It's wet in the street Reflecting the lights and splashing feet, Nowhere to go, And nothing I have to do, have to do. It's raining again, I follow the Christmas lights down town. I'm leaving the flow Of people walking all around, Round and round, I hear the sound of rain falling in my ears Washing away the weariness like tears. I can feel my troubles running down, Disappear into the silent sound. Just walking along, My clothes are soaked right through to the skin, I haven't a doubt, that this is what life is all about, The sun and the rain. Scraps of paper(???) washing down the drain. I feel the rain falling on my face I can say there is no better place Than standing up in the falling down In so much rain I could almost drown. It's raining again A crack in the clouds reveals blue skies I've been feeling so low(low) But now everything is on my side The sun and the rain. Walk with me fill my heart again I hear the rain falling in my ears Washing away the weariness like tears. I can feel my troubles running down, Disappear into the silent sound. I feel the rain falling on my face I can say there is no better place Than standing up in the falling down In so much rain I could almost drown. Do de do do de do do do Do de do de do de do do do |

No I never heard through the grapevine How you left long before your time But in France on the radio I could not understand a word But I felt you go We waited all night for the midnight lover's calling It was the coldest day of the year And I'm still thawing I didn't sleep a wink But while radio played I was day dreaming Of what might have been While the cold night air was freezing The coldest night The coldest day of the year What is happening mother father please Who will save us from the autumn breeze Shivering to a halt no one wants to speak too soon Although we all knew under the pale blue moon The pale moon The pale blue moon What happens then when the sun goes down Tell me what's the word Johannesburg When the rent goes up and the lights go down On the coldest day outside the coldest town We waited all night and I'm still falling I didn't sleep a wink But while radio played I was day dreaming Of what might have been While the cold night air was freezing The coldest night The coldest day of the year The coldest night The coldest day of the year The coldest night, day, year |
