Do you know what noise awakes you
Every morning from your bed A-coming from the farthest hillside A-coming from inside your head You have heard You have heard the loudest sound In this and every world you can think of Chorus: Louder than tanks on the highway Louder than bombers in flight Louder than noises of hatred Dancing us from darkest night is the rhythm of love Powered on the the beating of hearts And did you know you had this power? Drumming on it always stays Never try to use it badly Tunes of good are all it plays You have heard You have heard the loudest sound In this and every world you can visit Chorus For a heart without love is a song with no words And a tune to which no-one is listening So your heart must give love and you'll find that You shine like rain on the leaves you'll be glistening You have heard You have heard the loudest sound In this and every world you can think of Louder than thoughts of dictators Louder than rattling swords Louder than loading of rifles Louder than screaming warlords Chorus |

Can't you see
Love and affection When it's put In you direction Wrapped in your mysterious wonderland No fast car Can make you grow up Gentlemen You think you've sewn up Locked in your wonderful wonderland No dark horse like me can cramp all of your style Too plain and simple I am for your file: One day you will break out of your spell And some day you will want me for your own And I'll say welcome to reality All this talk Of late-night parties Flirting with the lower gentry Lost in your magical wonderland Out of depth Out of class Phase of your life Will come to pass Caught in this tragical wonderland All of the riches that shine will turn sour Each moment you slip you will bring near the hour Wrapped in your mysterious wonderland Caught in your superficial Nonexistant Fairy-story Wonderland |

High climbs the summer sun
High stands the corn And tonight when my work is done We will borrow your father's carriage We will drink and prepare for marriage Soon my darling, soon my darling [ :] Shilling for the fellow who brings the sheep in Shilling for the fellow who milks the herd Shilling for the fellow with a wife for keeping How can we feed love on a farmboy's wages? Deep under winter snow Deep lay the lambs And tonight by the full moon's glow Flask of wine on my feather bedding We will drink and prepare for wedding Soon my darling, soon my darling People think that I'm no good Painting pictures carving wood be a rich man if I could But the only job I do well is here on the farm On the farm And it's breaking my back We will borrow your father's carriage We will drink and prepare for marriage Soon my darling, soon my darling |

Great fire burning
You supplied the spark Fores burning spreading through the ark Animals are panicking I'm animal and panicking Your glance a match on the tinderwood You never spoke but I understood Bring water Eyes bring water: Great fire burning through Great fire burning through my house Great fire burning through my house and heart Great fire burning All because of you Fires burning spreading through the zoo Animals are panicking I'm animal and panicking No round of drinks can extinguish this Feeling of love and engulfing bliss Bring water Eyes bring water I've been in love before But it's never been as hot as this Smoke curling round the door Memories of old loves crack and blister Mister fireman bet you couldn't put me out if you tried Your glance a match on the tinderwood You never spoke but I understood Bring water Eyes bring water |

We can plant a seed
And watch it grow Food enough to fill a table Running water down an overflow Eat as much as we are able But would the fruit turn ripe If the rains had never been? Chorus: Oh Lord deliver us from the elements We at your mercy and your reverence Oh Lord deliver us from the elements We've no defense we are impotent You can travel far to distant lands Some so hot no man could bear You can conquer peaks with winds of sand Where Mother Nature didn't care Would not our world turn cold If the sun refused to shine Chorus And when the world grows old And we know more than our brains can hold Nature will be law Well we're as helpless now as we've ever been before Would not our world turn cold If the sun refused to shine Chorus |

Scared of love, love and swimming pools
Falling in you said was for fools But when you're standing on the edge You won't hear me because your blood is singing Jump jump go ahead and jump jump If it's what your heart is wanting to do This is real life you're dreaming through And there is no glue to hold you down, so go ahead and... Go ahead and jump Scared of love, love and aeroplanes Falling out I said takes no brains But if your flight is going rough Your soul will lead you to the nearest exit Jump, jump... While you're waiting Time is grinning Clocks and watches laughing at your indecision While you're waiting Worlds are spinning Find another heart and drive into collision Knowing this can you tell me you're... Scared of love, love and swimming pools Stubbornness, I say is for mules But if you're standing on the edge You won't hear me because your blood is singing Jump jump go ahead and jump jump If it's what your heart is wanting to do This is real life you're dreaming through And there'll be no wake up Jump jump go ahead and jump jump If it's what your heart is wanting to say This is really your lucky day And there is no glue to hold you down, so go ahead and... Go ahead and jump |

Sindy's spending too much money on clothes
Ken is going back to Gay Bob The Teddy bears swear the neighbourhood's gone Since the moving in of Golliwog Rag doll gets beaten up by the Action man The one with the real life hair He walks and he talks in a commanding voice But sexually he's not all there Oh dear what can the matter be, my children sweet children What gives down in the nursery, my children sweet children Oh dear what if the cradle falls, my children sweet children Toys are only human after all, who killed 'em we killed 'em If toys are quarreling amongst themselves What hope is there now for the world? The smell of smoke hanging thick over funland As the older toys are pushed down a ramp The microchip master race are melting them down In a dolly concentration camp The world's gone mad but in miniature The kids can only do what they feel See them copy what their parents have done 'Til they're old enough to do it for real Burn |

Looks as if you're dropping mirrors by the gross
Looks as if your nine lives have left town When you paint in grey and drear Eldorado won't appear To run his sword through all the fears that pull you down And it's okay, for the setting sun Will colour everything around you gold And it's okay, for the setting sun Will colour everything around you gold Looks as if you need a lighthouse in your dark Looks as if I'm now your native guide When the fog is drawing in Snarling dragons break to grin And trample over all the things that pull you down And it's okay... And all those pebbles in your shoes are precious stones And all the skeletons in closets Merely piles of harmless bones ...And it's okay, as the setting sun Will colour everything around you gold Even though it's brown, you'll See your old brick town go gold |

Funk pop a roll beats up my soul
Oozing like napalm from the speakers and grill Of your radio Into the mouths of babes And across the backs of its willing slaves Funk pop a roll consumes you whole Gulping in your opium so copiously from a disco Everything you eat is waste But swallowing is easy when it has no taste They can fix you rabbits up With your musical feed They can fix you rabbits up Big money selling you stuff that you do not need Funk pop a roll for fish in shoals Music by the yard for the children they keep Like poseable dolls The young to them are mistakes Who only want bread but they're force-fed cake Funk pop a roll the only goal The music business is a hammer to keep You pegs in your holes But please don't listen to me I've already been poisoned by this industry! Funk pop a roll beats up my soul |

Cast away on a desert island
Me and poor Crusoe are sharing the same fate Cast away on a desert island With Great Britain written on its name plate With my umbrella I go walking Through all the sands on a building site Across the shopping malls and motorways Birds from Heathrow fill the Night with people flying to escape Friday comforts me and says it's pay day Cast away on a desert island... The game and coconuts is plentiful You pick 'em right off of a supermarket shelf And all the man-eaters are parked away Down in garages While their selfish owners drinking to escape Lord of flies with cocktails in his conch shell Don't rescue me, no This is my home sweet home dear Don't rescue me, no I am far from alone here Cast away on a desert island Me and one nation are sharing the same fate Cast away on a desert island With Great Britain written on its name plate Cast away on a desert island |

An alchemy, human alchemy
We stole them from their freedom to be sold To turn their skins of black into the skins Of brightest gold An alchemy, human alchemy We stoked the fires of trade with human coals And made our purses from the flailed skins of Purest souls An alchemy, human alchemy Other lands became a larder full of all the good things All we had to do was go and take Blood the colour rain that grew our wicked harvest Black the colour icing on our cake An alchemy, human alchemy We stole their babes and mothers, chiefs and braves Although we held the whip, you knew we were The real slaves To alchemy, human alchemy Alchemy, human alchemy |

O ladybird
I have heard you wish to walk me through your garden I crave your pardon if I woke you with my thinking Ladybird O ladybird I have heard you wish to walk me through your meadow You'll spread no wings to fly in fright if I'm beside you Ladybird All through the winter time When wood was warm and splintered Time seemed longer than a goods train Now that spring is back again I'll ask your name Your name O ladybird I have heard you wish to walk across my pillow No weeping willow was ever as beautiful, sad as you are Ladybird And as you're walking past I'm laying on the grass and making chains of thought To snare you with my wit But bit by bit you fade to gone Gone All through the iron season Love was hanged and treason became Something of a parlour game Now sun is back in power I'll ask your name Your name O ladybird I have heard you have to run to tend your children No flood can drown nor fire blacken purest longing For ladybird Ladybird |

Boom goes my heart
Dancing around your daisies Church bells will start Sat on you reading your ages I drift away In loving memory of a name Covered in moss You may have died for your country Forgotten not lost You're laid to rest where you're wanted I stare awhile In loving memory of a name England can never repay you You gave your life to be buried alongside The place you loved The sermons attended when you were young Still echo round these churchyard walls Heroes and rogues Together surrounded by nature Lump in my throat Sat in the land of your maker I drift away In loving memory of a name |

Me and the wind are celebrating your loss
Me and the wind are pulling kites and pushing tress Me and the wind are celebrating your loss Me and the wind are feeling freer than air should ever be Should ever be should ever be should ever And when you lured me into your syrup All I could think of was what a lovely way for me to go I never really realised that Just like the struggling summer flies that I was drowning no matter how sweet or how slow Have I been such a fool Have I been sitting on your stool While you cracked the whip While you cracked the whip I danced imprisoned in your drumbeat Your tune of spring had me whirling like a mad march Merry hare It never really came to mind that The strings of your instrument were strangling me Inside their snare Have I been such a fool Have I been sitting on your stool While you held the hoop While you held the hoop Now that I'm out and I'm shouting in doorways Freed from a love more like murder I should be singing but in liberation Feel like a ship with no rudder Me and the wind are celebrating your loss Have I been such a fool |
