They say that love often passes in a second
And you can never catch it up So I'm hanging on to you as though eternity beckon But it's clear that the match is rough Common sense'd tell me not to try and continue But I'm after a piece of that diamond in you So keep an eye open, my spirit ain't broken Your love is so incredible, your body so edible You give me an overdose of love That just a little is enough I'm like a connoisseur of champagne cognac The perfume nearly beats the taste I eat an oyster and I feel the contact But more than one would be a waste Some people want an endless line that's true But all I have is a little time with you A smile sets me reeling, a kiss feel like stealing Your love is like heroin, this addict is mellowing I can't pretend that I'm tough Just a little is enough Just like a sailor heading into the seas There's a gale blowing in my face The high winds scare me but I need the breeze And I can't head for any other place Life would seem so easy on the other tack But even a hurricane won't turn me back You might be an island on the distant horizon But the little I see, looks like heaven to me And I don't care if the ocean gets rough Just a little is enough Common sense'd tell me not to try and continue But I'm after a piece of that diamond in you So keep an eye open, my spirit ain't broken Your love is so incredible, your body so edible You give me an overdose of love A little is enough |

I remember being richer than a king
The minutes of the day were golden I recall that when the joint passed 'round My body felt a little colder But now I'm like a sewer channel Running lime and scag Let me get at the master panel Let me at my stack The sea refuses no river And right now This river's banks are blown The sea refuses no river Whether stinking and rank Or red from the tank Whether pure as a spring There's no damn thing stops the poem The sea refuses no river And this river is homeward flowing I have seen a trace of strain In other's eyes, not spoken I must admit that I enjoyed their pain But this time it's me that's broken I demand for you and His This must be the time When we decide what freedom is Turn water into wine For the sea refuses no river We're polluted now But in our hearts still clean The sea refuses no river We tried not to age But time had it's rage We're washed over the stones From babies into clones of the mean The sea won't refuse this muddy river Won't deny the sulfurous stream There was a fool in a dressing robe Riding out the twilight hour Lonely and cold in an empty home Trying to assess his power But now he's like a stream in flood Swollen by the storm He doesn't care if he sheds his blood Let him be reborn The sea refuses no river Remember that When the beggar buys a round The sea refuses no river And rain fills the gutters No time for stutters This is our chance To sing and to dance and to clown The sea refuses no river And rivers were sprung to drown The sea refuses no river No pecking code Respected for the damned The sea refuses no river Whether starving and ill Or strung on some pill Just 'cos you own the land There's no unique hand plugs the dam The sea refuses no river And the river is where I am The river is where I am |

Say goodbye to the brilliant blues
Say goodbye It's time, to live Make me, take me It's time, to give So don't betray me, pay me The brilliant blues Don't want to be frozen I'll spend my mornings at the sunshine cafe I've read the news and the clique-ridden notions I know that now is the time to say It's time, to teach So tell me, come on tell me It's time, to preach So help me, come on and help me The brilliant blues Will never flow this way again The color of the river is gray The brilliant blues Have faded into sadness and pain, And now it's time to say, it's time You and me are going to finally sail away We'll get far away from the blues and the mist and the rain You and me are going to fight until we win the day For now is the time we must say goodbye To the brilliant blues The brilliant blues Don't want to be frozen I'll spend my mornings at the sunshine cafe I've read the news and the clique-ridden notions I know that now is the time to say It's time, to trust So buy me, come on try me It's time, to thrust Guide me, stay beside me The brilliant blues Will never flow this way again The color of the river is gray The brilliant blues Have faded into sadness and pain, And now is the time to say, it's time |

Now and then you see a soul and you fall in love
You can't do a thing about it (repeat 3 times) In you I saw someone that I recognized Had no idea what was in your mind I met your eyes and I was hypnotized I let our lives become entwined Now and then you see a soul and you fall in love You can't do a thing about it Now and then you see a soul and you fall in love You can't do a thing about it I feel so badly Darlin' all the time I have tortured you so long But I am helpless in this pantomime I am aware that I was wrong Now and then you see a soul and you fall in love You can't do a thing about it (repeat 3 times) For though you knew that I was twice your age To make you laugh seemed you enough I thought we'd love and then and then you'd turn the page I'd have to suffer your rebuff And it was me who had the most to gain Despite the fact that I now have lost The only love that ever caused me pain I feel like a double head was tossed Now and then you see a soul and you fall in love And you can't do a thing about it (repeat 6 times) |

I was just thirty-four years old and I was still wandering in a haze
I was wondering why everyone I met seemed like they were Lost in a maze I don't know why I thought I should have some kind of Divine right to the blues It's sympathy not tears people need when they're the Front page sad news. The incense burned away and the stench began to rise And lovers now estranged avoided catching each others' eyes And girls who lost their children cursed the men who fit the coil And men not fit for marriage took their refuge in the oil No one respects the flame quite like the fool who's badly burned From all this you'd imagine that there must be something learned Slit skirts, Jeanie never wears those slit skirts I don't ever wear no ripped shirts Can't pretend that growing older never hurts. Knee pants, Jeanie never wears no knee pants Have to be so drunk to try a new dance So afraid of every new romance Slit skirts, slit skirt Jeanie isn't wearing those slit skirts, slit skirt She wouldn't dare in those slit skirts, slit skirt Wouldn't be seen dead in no slit skirt Slit skirts, slit skirt Jeanie isn't wearing those slit skirts, slit skirt She wouldn't dare in those slit skirts, slit skirt Wouldn't be seen dead in no slit skirt Romance, romance, why aren't we thinking up romance? Why can't we drink it up true heart romance Just need a brief new romance Let me tell you some more about myself, you know I'm sitting at home just now. The big events of the day are passed and the late TV shows have come around. I'm number one in the home team, but I still feel unfulfilled. A silent voice in her broken heart complaining that I'm unskilled. And I know that when she thinks of me, she thinks of me as him, But, unlike me, she don't work off her frustration in the gym. Recriminations fester and the past can never change A woman's expectations run from both ends of the range Once she walked with untamed lovers' face between her legs Now he's cooled and stifled and it's she who has to beg Slit skirts, Jeanie never wears those slit skirts And I don't ever wear no ripped shirts Can't pretend that growing older never hurts Knee pants, Jeanie never wears no knee pants We have to be so drunk to try a new dance So afraid of every new romance Slit skirts, slit skirt Jeanie isn't wearing those slit skirts, slit skirt She wouldn't dare in those slit skirts, slit skirt Wouldn't be seen dead in no slit skirt Slit skirts, slit skirt Jeanie isn't wearing those slit skirts, slit skirt She wouldn't dare in those slit skirts, slit skirt Wouldn't be seen dead in no slit skirt Romance, romance, why aren't we thinking up romance? Why can't we drink it up true heart romance Just need a brief new romance |

The tissue box is empty
No coffee for my cream Dogs howl in the alley Crazy women scream Some kids shout from there pick up truck There stoned on life and beer Fifty radios playing in this street But I'm still hardly here Exquisitely bored in California We take our trouble to the Crest Exquisitely bored in California Exquisitely bored, Just like all the rest When the sun shines things'll get moving You feel close to the stars There are good times walking in Laguna But it rains in my heart The peasants here are starving They look out there barrels out in space Pray TV looks like pay TV to me It's just a curse on the human race I take a drive up to L.A. In my gas guzzling limousine There's a whole lot of crazy people up there Living out a life in sweet ennui Exquisitely bored in California We take our trouble to the Crest Exquisitely bored in California Exquisitely bored, Just like all the rest When the sun shines things'll get moving You feel close to the stars There are good times walking in Laguna But it rains in my heart Exquisitely bored in California We take our trouble to the Crest Exquisitely bored in California Exquisitely bored, Just like all the rest |

Anyone can buy some leather Ain't no better than wearing sheep Anyone can sell luck heather You can see that words are cheap! But did you read the stuff that Julie said? Or little Jimmy with his hair died red? They have a standard of perfection there That you and me can never share Typewriter bangers on You're all just hangers on Everyone's human except Jools and Jim Late copy churners Rock and Roll learners Your hearts are melting in pools Of gin But I know for sure that if we met up eye to eye A little wine would bring us closer, you and I Cause you're right, hypocrisy will be the death of me And there's an I before e when you're spelling ecstasy And you, you two Did you here the stuff that Krishna said?

Nothing must pass this line
Unless it is well defined You just have to be resigned You're crashing by design You once believed that crazy accidents Were happening to you You were chasing a capricious wind Whenever bad luck and trouble Happened to pursue you The dice would surely save your skin But when you look back you must realize That nothing in your life's divine Everything that's ever befallen you Happened simply 'cause it crossed your mind You're crashing by design Nothing must pass this line Unless it is well defined You just have to be resigned You're crashing by design In your single-roomed flat in a courtyard building You sit alone just like a broken toy Where's your mother, where's your lover And where are the children Are you a man or still a boy? Who left you behind, or did you run From the crush of so many options? Now you know the special despair of the man Discussed, debated and offered for adoption Nothing must pass this line Unless it is well defined You just have to be resigned Another man without a woman Dropped like a useless tool no longer required A man who longs for the stifling Milk flowered bosom, a fool Who's no longer desired Another man without a woman Too many rages have cost you this time Another man among a hundred children You're just a child who is lost in time You're crashing by design You're crashing by design It all happens by design It all happens by design You're crashing by design It all happens by design It all happens by design You're crashing by desig |

Make me of clay, make me of steel
But whatever you do don't try and make me real Make me your dream, a secretive deal But don't ever scheme to try and make me real Stop trying to make me real I haven't got the kind of heart a lover can steal Stop crying, I just can't feel Any sympathy for someone trying to make me real Make me of shit in a two-teenier deal Make me of pornography in a pedophile wheel Whatever I do, whatever I feel By your double standard I will never be real Stop trying to make me real I haven't got the kind of heart a lover can steal Stop crying, I just can't feel Any sympathy for someone trying to make me Why can't you settle for a fantasy? You're so convinced that I'm the man to see I can't live up to What you give up to I fail to see the perfect man in me Make me from your magazine a listed ideal Dress me in the doll's house your knickers conceal Make me your brother-lover beau-ideal But you will soon discover lover can't be real Stop trying to make me real I haven't got the kind of heart a lover can steal Stop crying, I just can't feel Any sympathy for someone trying to make me real (repeat 3 times) |

I don't matter, you don't matter
Neither does this mindless clatter It don't matter where you're from What matters is your uniform Wear your braces 'round your seat Doctor Marten's on your feet Keep your bar net very neat For credibility on street We are marching as to war We won't be obscure no more In uniform, in uniform I am really living life inside a jar: I'm all alone So I feel forgiven if I'm under par, a fallen clone Only in the river can I claim a star to call my own I'm newly born In uniform I'm up on the throne I am frightened, you are frightened Should we get our trousers tightened? Where in Brighton is your norm Who wears enlightened uniform? On my Parka is some band I don't really understand Perry is my guiding hand Scooter polo sweeps the land We are marching as to war We won't be obscure no more In uniform, in uniform People think we dress alike to segregate identities Pills or drink or puffing pipes in integrated entities Then they wink and snort their line, and say how great their Bentley is They feel so warm when they conform They say that nakedness is what our Lord intended When we stand naked, then we all appear the same But it's just faking it if we all try pretending Are we're just making all our prayers in the rain Heaven knows I need new clothes We are marching as to war But we are really fighting for Our uniform, our uniform When I contemplate my future, I go numb, don't feel a thing I don't overrate my suitors number one, I always sing But the State and their computers make me run for comfort in My uniform In uniform I feel like a king They say that nakedness is what our Lord intended When we stand naked, then we all appear the same But it's just faking it if we all try pretending Are we just making all our prayers in the rain? It seems insane But Heaven knows It's all the same And I need new clothes |

My throat clenches Clutching to exclude A dozen different stenches In Falmouth Bay A blue whale rolls Gonna drown in the swill From city sewer holes Summer's longer Deltas gashed Ancient trees Uprooted, smashed Time is generous, more, take more Time is generous, more, take more Time is generous, more, take more I must outrun the dinosaur As to your question about how this will affect your career The great artist is just like a child And intuitively understands the need to submit to the audience Do you begin to see the secret? A silent temple Marble-hard Decays and softens Battle-scarred A relic deaf To bits and streams And polo-necks And perfect jeans Obsessed with silence Spiked by noise I hold my son I plan his toys Time expansive, more, take more Time expansive, more, take more Time expansive, more, take more I must outlive the dinosaur Lastly, you must be prepared to test yourself Why not try the song I have enclosed? It's an outtake from a secret project I'm working on called "Gridlife" The tape you sent shows you can sing, so sing Rising rivers Drown new shoots Words and breath In death cahoots The strong survive To wean more brutes Who grow and seed Extend their roots Cowards, bombs And scab recruits Like monkeys trapped In monkey suits Time is plentiful, more, take more Time is plentiful, more, take more Time is plentiful, more, take more I must outfight the dinosaur Time is plentiful, more, take more (Take some more) Time is plentiful, more, take more (There's plenty more) Time is plentiful, more, take more (Just take some more) Time is plentiful, more, take more Time is plentiful, more, take more (Ah, take) Time is plentiful, more, take more (Take some more) Time is plentiful, more, take more More take more, more take more Take more Take more More More |

I was digging in the yard today
When a letter came from Southampton way Keep on working Keep on working I must admit I was a bit in the red But if you never have pleasure then you could be dead Keep on working Keep on working But there's on thing They can't take away Hear the sea sing See a smiling face I think we're OK Though we all could be mad That's what they say We just can't all be bad I got something now to think about I'll work all day but not to pay it out Keep on working Keep on working Don't care if they say where a dying race I'd rather be here than any other place Keep on working Keep on working And there's another whirl They can't ever touch Just need a boy and girl It don't cost you much And if your luck is in you might have kids at play To make you laugh and sing When you're old and gray |

The White City, that's a joke of a name
It's a black violent place if I remember the game I couldn't wait to get out but I love to go home To remember the White City fighting The White City Fighting, remember, remember The White City Fighting, remember, remember Down to the refuge, near QPR I drive to committees in my German car Prone to violence, prone to shame I glide in silence, my pride in vain For no one remembers, not that I can see That we were defenders, we were the free The White City, blood was an addiction Now it is analyzed just as though it were fiction That battles were won and battles were blown At the height of the White City fighting The White City Fighting, remember, remember The White City Fighting, remember, remember No one remembers, not that I can see That we were defenders, we were the free The White City, I finally grew up To resist the temptation the gutters all threw up But I have to go back, I guess I'm violence prone To remember the White City fighting, yeah The White City Fighting, remember, remember......(fade) |

HOGARTH
You can wake deep in the night And know that out of sight A dangerous passion grows A force you can't oppose VIXEN and HOGARTH In the safety of your bed You dream of a flaming head You know you've lost your heart You never even had a start WOODLAND CREATURES All shall be well And all shall be well And all manner of things Shall be well VIXEN I was naked and dreaming Behind locked doors You'll still hear me screaming Take me I'm yours HOGARTH Take me I'm yours VIXEN and HOGARTH Take me I'm yours Don't offer any other option But one that restores this land to me This land where the color of love Is be decree Set it free! HOGARTH You can demand that your love's defined Before you jump in blind Keep everything to plan So you can remain a man CROW You can demand that your love is defined Before you break and jump in blind You have to keep everything to plan Just so that you can remain a man HOGARTH You have imprisoned half your soul You have denied the love that you hold Your angry heart never seems to break You've learned to give, but not to take VIXEN One heart divided Cold civil wars Like twenty million people crying Take me I'm yours HOGARTH Take me I'm yours VIXEN and HOGARTH Take me I'm yours Don't offer any other opinion But one that restores this land to me This land where the color of love Is by decree Set it free! WOODLAND CREATURES All shall be well And all shall be well And all manner of things Shall be well HOGARTH You can wake deep in the night And find that out of sight But right under your nose A revolution grows |

I'm playing my guitar while my sister bangs the jar
The glass sets up a sound like people laughing It's going to my brain and it's easing all my pain I must hear this sound again 'cause time is passing Mmm. I'm walking by the sea and the shingle sings for me The crabs are swimming down among the starfish The rocks all clatter down and the seagulls fly around But the whole trip rubs it in that time is passing, passing Find it, I got to hear it all again... My heart has heard the sound of harmony Blind to it, as my tears fall again It's only by the music I'll be free There's something in the whisper of the trees Millions hear it, still they can't believe There are echoes of it splashing in the waves As an empire of dead men leave their graves Don't listen to people talk, don't listen to 'em selling souls Don't listen to me or words from men above Don't hear it in your needs and don't hear it in your greed's Just hear it in the sound of time a passing Find it, I got to hear it all again My heart has heard the sound of harmony Blind to it, as my tears fall again It's only by the music I'll be free |

I stand beside you
I face the future I'll admit to you I am afraid I am afraid As I stand beside you I have denied you I am afraid I am not drunk now I am not pilled down My windows wound down I am not brainwashed I am not running I am not hiding My bet's still riding I am afraid I swing you high-o I swing you low-a I see your eye-o I see you grow-a I hear you crying Your brother's dying Be no more lying I am afraid I am afraid As I stand beside you I have denied you I am afraid I stand beside you I face the future I'll admit to you I am afraid By my religion I stand here naked I cannot fake it With God as witness My little children Who wait for feeding' I watch you bleeding' I am afraid I am afraid As I stand beside you I have denied you I am afraid I stand beside you I face the future I'll admit to you I am afraid |

There once was a note pure and easy
Playing so free like a breathe rippling by The note is eternal I hear it, it sees me Forever we blend as forever we die I listened and I heard music in a word And words when you played your guitar The noise that I was hearing was a million people cheering And a child flew past me riding in a star As people a**emble civilization is trying to find a new way to die But killing is really merely scene changer All men are bored with other men's lives I listened and I heard music in a word And words when you played your guitar The noise that I was hearing was a million people cheering And a child flew past me riding in a star Gas on the hillside Oil in the tea cup Watch all the chords of life lose their joy Distortion becomes somehow pure in its wildness The note that began all can also destroy We all know success when we all find our own dream And our love is enough to knock down any wall And the future's been seen as men try to realize The simple secret of the note in us all In us all I listened and I heard music in a word And words when you played your guitar The noise that I was hearing was a million people cheering And a child flew past me riding in a star Today is the day the sound curdles mountains Flowing and blowing each man in its wake Destroying itself in the end with vibration There's nothing on earth it's challenge can take Excepting one note Excepting one note pure and easy Playing so free like breath rippling by Excepting one note Excepting one note Excepting one note, pure and easy Excepting one note, pure and easy (repeated) There once was a note listen There once was a note listen There once was a note listen There once was a note listen |
