You think youre gonna please her so you walk right up and tease her
But she walks right on by
Youre scared to walk beside her Cause youre playing with the spider who possess the sky
She got the green backs, my oh my
You gotta act tall, think big, if you wanna make a mark in her book
Gotta get ahead, get a car, fancy clothes or shell throw you right off her hook
Heres the news you are but one fish in her back garden scene
Gonna make like a shark to be free
Something bad on your mind
Take my tip get on out
Take my tip get on out
You cant give all you got to take something back
Before shell put you right up on her rack
With some others in mind
Take my tip get on out
Take my tip get on out
You think youre gonna please her so you walk right up and tease her
But she walks right on by
Youre scared to walk beside her Cause youre playing with the tiger who possess the sky
She got the green backs, my oh my
You gotta act tall, think big, if you wanna make a mark in her book
Gotta get ahead, get a car, fancy clothes or shell throw you right off her hook
Heres the news you are but one fish in her back garden scene
Gonna make like a shark to be free
Something bad on your mind
Get it off, take my tip
Get it off, take my tip
You cant give all you have to take something back
Before shell put you right up on the rack
With some others in mind
Take my tip get on out
Take my tip get on out
Take my tip get on out |
Dozing bumble, get off her shoulder
She wants to be still, she wants to feel older
Sunshine, shadows soften her hair
Our fingertips touch, she wants to feel older
Were citizens of town lying in a country field
Gazing down upon her face
And suddenly we’re lovers
Tom Tom, she whispers low
Dont forget my name
Angel angel grubby face, Ill never be the same
Tom Tom, she whispers low
The train is going soon
Angel angel grubby face, I love you
Do you love me too?
Sunday, oak trees, sing me a song
Factory Street chimneys are lost in your branches
Monday morning, workshop encounter
Buses and vouchers, smoke and disorder
Our city clothes offend your leaves
Your naked sky demands the reason why we lie beneath your shade
Because we love each other
Tom Tom, she whispers low
Don’t forget my name
Angel angel grubby face, Ill never be the same
Tom Tom, she whispers low
The train is going soon
Angel angel grubby face, I love you
Do you love me too?
Tom Tom, she whispers low
Dont forget my name
Angel angel grubby face, Ill never be the same
Tom Tom, she whispers low
The train is going soon
Angel angel grubby face, I love you
Do you love me too? |

I need to touch
A live unbeaten earth
So thats where Im going
I know a town in North West Mexico
Where the sun is gold and life exists
Hideaway, hideaway truly
Hideaway, hideaway truly
My country got
Raped by big industry
Well just have to wing it
The concrete strips raw greed and king TV
They say so what I say so this
Hideaway, hideaway truly
Hideaway, hideaway truly
I can hear children voices
Playing in a yard
When I hear children voices
My feelings arent so hard
Your honest face
Your quiet simple grace
You are one thing
I will not waste
Hideaway, hideaway truly
Hideaway, hideaway truly |
Let me put my arms around your head
Its hot, lets go to bed
And dont forget to turn on the light
Dont laugh, this will be alright
Going towards another phone
Ill ring and see if your friends are home
Perhaps the strange ones in the dome
Can lend us a book, we can read up alone
And try, try like once before
When people stared
In David Johansens eyes and scored
Like the video films we saw
His name was always Buddy
And hed shrug and hed ask to stay
And shed sigh like Chris the Wonder Kid
And turn her face away
Shes uncertain if she likes him
But she knows shes got to have him
Its a crash course for the ravers
Its a drive-in Saturday
Jung the foreman prayed at work
Neither hands nor limbs would burst
Its hard enough to keep formation
Mid this fall out saturation
Cursing at the Astronettes
That stand in seal by his cabinet
Hes crashing out with Sylvian
The bureau supply for aging men
With snorting heads he gazes to the shore
Once it raged, the sea that raged no more
Like the video films we saw
His name was always Buddy
And hed shrug and hed ask to stay
And shed sigh like Chris the Wonder Kid
And turn her face away
Shes uncertain if she likes him
But she knows she really loves him
Its a crash course for the ravers
Its a drive-in Saturday
His name was always Buddy
And hed shrug and hed ask to stay
When shed sigh like Chris the Wonder Kid
And shed turn her face away
Shes uncertain if she likes him
But she knows she really loves him
Its a crash course for the ravers
Its a drive-in Saturday
Its a drive-in Saturday
Its a drive-in Saturday
Its a drive-in Saturday

Walking down the rocky road
Wondering where my life is leading
Rolling on to the bitter end
Finding out along the way
What it takes to keep love living
You should know how it feels my friend
Ooh, want you to stay
Ooh, want you today
And Im ready for love
Oh baby Im ready for love
Ready for love
Oh baby Im ready for love
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Dont let go, you know Im ready for you
Dont you be slow you know what Im going to do
Give it to me, you know what Im talking of
Give it to me, Im ready for love
Now Im on my feet again
Better things are bound to happen
All my dues surely must be paid
Many miles and many tears
Times were hard but now theyre changing
You should know that Im not afraid
Ooh, want you to stay
Ooh, want you today
Im ready for love
Oh baby Im ready for love
Ready for love
Oh baby Im ready for love
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Dont let go you know Im ready for you
Dont be slow, you know what Im going to do
Why dont you give it to me, you know what Im talking of
Give it to me, Im ready for love
Oh, Im ready for love
Oh baby, Im ready for love
Ready for love
Oh baby Im ready for love
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Ooh, ahh, ahh, wooh |
Yo, VIP, lets kick it!
Ice ice baby
Ice ice baby
All right stop
Collaborate and listen
Ice is back with my brand new invention
Something grabs a hold of me tightly
Then I flow that a harpoon daily and nightly
Will it ever stop?
Yo, I dont know
Turn off the lights and Ill glow
To the extreme I rock a mic like a vandal
Light up a stage and wax a chump like a candle
Dance
Bum rush the speaker that booms
Im killin your brain like a poisonous mushroom
Deadly, when I play a dope melody
Anything less that the best is a felony
Love it or leave it
You better gain way
You better hit bulls eye
The kid dont play
If there was a problem
Yo, Ill solve it
Check out the hook while my DJ revolves it
Ice ice baby Vanilla
Ice ice baby Vanilla
Ice ice baby Vanilla
Ice ice baby Vanilla
Now that the party is jumping
With the bass kicked in, the fingers are pumpin
Quick to the point, to the point no faking
Im cooking MCs like a pound of bacon
Burning them if theyre not quick and nimble
I go crazy when I hear a cymbal
And a hi hat with a souped up tempo
Im on a roll and its time to go solo
Rollin in my 5.0
With my ragtop down so my hair can blow
The girlies on standby
Waving just to say hi
Did you stop?
No, I just drove by
Kept on pursuing to the next stop
I busted a left and Im heading to the next block
That block was dead
Yo so I continued to a1a Beachfront Ave
Girls were hot wearing less than bikinis
Rock man lovers driving Lamborghini
Jealous cause Im out getting mine
Shay with a gauge and Vanilla with a nine
Ready for the chumps on the wall
The chumps are acting ill because theyre so full of eight balls
Gunshots ranged out like a bell
I grabbed my nine
All I heard were shells
Fallin on the concrete real fast
Jumped in my car, slammed on the gas
Bumper to bumper the avenues packed
Im tryin to get away before the jackers jack
Police on the scene
You know what I mean
They passed me up, confronted all the dope fiends
If there was a problem
Yo, Ill solve it
Check out the hook while my DJ revolves it
Ice ice baby Vanilla
Ice ice baby Vanilla
Ice ice baby Vanilla
Ice ice baby Vanilla
Take heed, cause Im a lyrical poet
Miamis on the scene just in case you didnt know it
My town, that created all the bass sound
Enough to shake and kick holes in the ground
Cause my styles like a chemical spill
Feasible rhymes that you can vision and feel
Conducted and formed
This is a hell of a concept
We make it hype and you want to step with this
Shay plays on the fade, slice it like a ninja
Cut like a razor blade so fast
Other DJs say, damn
If my rhyme was a drug
Id sell it by the gram
Keep my composure when its time to get loose
Magnetized by the mic while I kick my juice
If there was a problem
Yo, Ill solve it!
Check out the hook while my DJ revolves it
Ice ice baby Vanilla
Ice ice baby Vanilla
Ice ice baby Vanilla
Ice ice baby Vanilla
Yo man, lets get out of here
Word to your mother
Ice ice baby
Too cold
Ice ice baby
Too cold too cold
Ice ice baby
Too cold too cold
Ice ice baby
Too cold too cold |
Pushing through the market square
So many mothers sighing
News had just come over
We had five years left to sighing
News guy wept and told us
Earth was really dying
Cried so much that his face was wet
Then I knew he wasnt lying
I heard telephones, opera house, favourite melodies
I saw toys and boys, and electric irons and TVs
My brain hurt like a warehouse
It had no room to spare
I had to cram so many things to store
Everything in there
And all the fat, skinny people
And all the tall, short people
All the somebody people
All the nobody people
I never thought I’d need so many people
A girl my age went off her head
Hit some tiny children
If the Black hadnt pulled her off
I think she would have killed them
A soldier with a broken arm
Fixed his stare to the wheels of a Cadillac
A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest
And a queer threw up at the sight of that
And I think I saw you in an ice-cream parlour
Drinking milk shakes cold and long
Smiling and waving and looking so fine
Dont think you knew you were in this song
It was cold and it rained, and I felt like an actor
And I thought of Ma and I wanted to get back there
Your face, your race
The way that you talk
I kiss you, you’re beautiful
I want you to walk
Weve got five years, stuck on my eyes
Five years, what a surprise
Five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, thats all weve got
Weve got five years, stuck on my eyes
Five years, what a surprise
Weve got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, thats all weve got
Five years
Five years
Five years |
Starman
Didnt know what time it was, the lights were low
I leaned back on my radio
Some cat was layin down some rocknroll lotta soul, he said
Then the loud sound did seem to fade
Came back like a slow voice on a wave of phase
That werent no D.J. that was hazy cosmic jive
Theres a starman waiting in the sky
Hed like to come and meet us
But he thinks hed blow our minds
Theres a starman waiting in the sky
He told us not to blow it
Cause he knows its all worthwhile
He told me:
Let the children lose it
Let the children use it
Let all the children boogie
I had to phone someone so I picked on you
Hey, thats far out so you heard him too!
Switch on the TV we may pick him up on channel two
Look out your window I can see his light
If we can sparkle he may land tonight
Dont tell your poppa or hell get us locked up in fright
Theres a starman waiting in the sky
Hed like to come and meet us
But he thinks hed blow our minds
Theres a starman waiting in the sky
He told us not to blow it
Cause he knows its all worthwhile
He told me:
Let the children lose it
Let the children use it
Let all the children boogie
Theres a starman waiting in the sky
Hed like to come and meet us
But he thinks hed blow our minds
Theres a starman waiting in the sky
He told us not to blow itCause he knows its all worthwhile
He told me:
Let the children lose it
Let the children use it |
From factory to field
How many tears must fall
Down there below
Nothing is moving
Woohoo
I might just stop needing you
I might just stop loving you
I demand a better future
I demand a better future
For I might just stop loving you
Loving you, loving you
I demand a better future
I demand a better future
I demand a better future
Or I might just stop loving you
Loving you, loving you
I demand a better future
When we talk
We talk to you
When we walk
We walk to you
From factory to field
How many tears must fall
Down there below
Nothing is moving
Please dont tear this world asunder
Please take back this fear were under
I demand a better future
Or I might just stop wanting you
I might just stop wanting you
Please make sure we get tomorrow
All this pain, and all this sorrow
I demand a better future
Or I might just stop needing you
I might just stop needing you
Give my children sunny smiles
I demand a better future
For I might just stop loving you
Loving you, loving you
I demand a better future |
Just the twinkling lights of heaven
Two reflections on the sparkling water
Hand in hand in love with love uh-huh
I love the cheap things that you say-a-say
You belong in rock n roll
You belong in rock n roll
You belong in rock n roll
Well so do I
I love how she moves me
It makes me feel alright, alright, alright, alright
Im a hurt, Im a hurt, Im a hurting
Im a man with a beat in my pocket
Im going down to the rhythm of love
I love the bad luck that you bring-r-ing
You belong in rock n roll
You belong in rock n roll
You belong in rock n roll
Well so do I
Alone on a mean street
It makes me feel on fire, on fire, on fire, on fire, on fire...
On fire, on fire, on fire, on fire, on fire
I love the cheap street in your walk, uh-huh
You belong in rock n roll
You belong in rock n roll
Well so do I
I love how she moves me
It makes me feel alright, alright, alright, alright, alright...
Oh-oh! |
Your coat and hat are gone
I really cant look at your little empty shelf
A ragged teddy bear
It feels like we never had a chance
Dont look me in the eye
We lay in each others arms
But the room is just an empty space
I guess we lived it out
Something in the air
We smiled too fast
Then cant think of a thing to say
Lived with the best times
Left with the worst
Ive danced with you too long
Nothing left to say
Lets take what we can
I know you hold your head up high
Weve raced for the last time
A place of no return
And theres something in the air
Something in my eye
Ive danced with you too long
Something in the air
Something in my eye
Abracadoo, I lose you
We cant avoid the clash
The big mistake
Now were going to pay and pay
The sentence of our lives
Cant believe Im asking you to go
We used what we could
To get the things we want
But we lost each other on the way
I guess you know I never wanted
Anyone more than you
Lived all our best times
Left with the worst
Ive danced with you too long
Say what you will
Theres something in the air
Raced for the last time
But I know you hold your head up high
Theres nothing we have to say
Theres nothing in my eyes
But theres something in the air
Something in my eye
Ive danced with you too long
Theres something I have to say
Theres something in the air
Something in my eye
Ive danced with you too long
Ive danced with you too long
Danced with you too long
Theres something in the air
Something in the air |

Well, Billy rapped all night about his suicide
How hed kick it in the head when he was 25
Speed jive, dont want to stay alive

Ground Control to Major Tom
Ground Control to Major Tom
Take your protein pills
And put your helmet on
Ground Control to Major Tom
Commencing countdown
Engines on
Check ignition
And may Gods love be with you
This is Major Tom to Ground Control
Im feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Tell my wife I love her very much, she knows
Though Im passed 100,000 miles
Im feeling very still
And I think my spaceship know what I must do
And I think my life on earth is nearly through
Ground Control to Major Tom
Youre off your course, directions wrong
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you-
Here am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the Moon
The planet Earth is blue
And theres nothing I can do |
Well, the joint was rocking
Going round n round
Yeah, reeling and a-rocking
What a crazy sound
Well, they never stopped rocking
Til the moon went down
Well it sounded so sweet
I had to take me a chance
I rose out of my seat
And had to dance
I started moving my feet
And clapping my hands
Yeah, we kept on rocking
Going round n round
Yeah, reeling and a-rocking
What a crazy sound
Well, they never stopped rocking
Til the moon went down
About twelve oclock
When the place was packed
The front doors were locked
I said the place was packed
When the police knocked
Those doors flew back
But kept on rocking
Going round n round
Yeah, reeling and a-rocking
What a crazy sound
Well, they never stopped rocking
Til the moon went down
Yeah
About twelve oclock
Around lock up time
Well, the doors were locked
Said the place was packed
When the police knocked
Those doors flew back
But it kept on rocking
Going round n round
Yeah, reeling and a-rocking
What a crazy sound
Well, they never stopped rocking
Til the moon went down
Yeah, it kept on rocking
Going round n round
Yeah, reeling and a-rocking
What a crazy sound
Well, they never stopped rocking
Til the moon went down |
Theres a crooked street
In Houston town
Its a well born path
Ive traveled down
Now theres ruin in my name
I wish I never got off the train
I wished Id listened
To the words you said
Dont go down to Fannin Street
Dont go down to Fannin Street
Dont go down to Fannin Street
Youll be lost and never found
You can never turn around
Dont go down to Fannin Street
Once I held you in my arms
I was sure
But I took that silent stare
Through the guilded door
The desire to have much more
All the glitter and the roar
I know this is where
The sidewalk ends
Dont go down to Fannin Street
Dont go down to Fannin Street
Dont go down to Fannin Street
Youll be lost and never found
You can never turn around
Dont go down to Fannin Street
When I was young
I thought only of getting out
I said goodbye to my street
Goodbye to my house
Give a man gin, give a man cards
Give an inch he takes a yard
And I rue the day
That I stepped off this train
Dont go down to Fannin Street
Dont go down to Fannin Street
Dont go down to Fannin Street
Youll be lost and never found
You can never turn around
Dont go down to Fannin Street |
I, I will be queen
And you, you will be king
Though nothing will drive them away
We can beat them, just for one day
We can be heroes, just for one day
I, I wish you could swim
Like the dolphins, like the dolphins can swim
Though nothing, nothing will keep us together
We can beat them, forever and ever
Oh, we can be heroes, just for one day
I, oh, I will be queen
And you, you will be king
Nothing, nothing will drive them away
Oh, we can be heroes just for one day
We can be us, mm, just for one day
I, I can remember
Standing by the wall
And the guns shot above our heads
And we kissed, as though nothing could fall
And the shame was on the other side
Oh, we can beat them, forever and ever
Then we could be heroes, just for one day
Oh, we can be heroes, just for one day |
This is not america, schalalalala
A little piece of you
A little peace in me
Will die for this is not america
Blossom falls to bloom this season
Promise not to stare too long
For this is not a miracle
There was a time a storm that blew so pure
For this could be the biggest sky
And I could have the faintest idea
For this is not america
Schalalalala, schalalalala
Schalalalala, this is not america, no
This is not, schalalalala
Snowman melting from the inside
Falcon spirals to the ground
The biggest to bloody red tomorrows clouds
A little peace of you
A little peace in me
This is not america
For this is not america
There was a time a wind that blew so young
For this could be the biggest sky
And I could have the faintest idea
For this is not america
Schalalalala, schalalalala
Oh, this is not america
This is not america
Schalalalala, schalalalala
This is not america, no
Schalalalala, schalalalala
This is not america
This is not america
This is not america
No, no, no
This is not, no
This is not america |
I, I will be king
And you, you will be queen
Though nothing, will drive them away
We can beat them, just for one day
We can be heroes, just for one day
And you, you can be mean
And I, Ill drink all the time
Cause were lovers, and that is a fact
Yes were lovers, and that is that
Though nothing, will keep us together
We could steal time, just for one day
We can be heroes, forever and ever
What dyou say?
I, I wish you could swim
Like the dolphins, like dolphins can swim
Though nothing, nothing will keep us together
We can beat them, forever and ever
Oh we can be heroes, just for one day
I, I will be king
And you, you will be queen
Though nothing, will drive them away
We can be heroes, just for one day
We can be us, just for one day
I, I can remember
Standing, by the wall
And the guns, shot above our heads
And we kissed, as though nothing could fall
And the shame, was on the other side
Oh we can beat them, forever and ever
Then we could be heroes, just for one day
We can be heroes, we can be heroes
We can be heroes, just for one day
We can be heroes
Were nothing, and nothing will help us
Maybe were lying, then you better not stay
But we could be safer, just for one day
Oh-oh-oh-ohh, oh-oh-oh-ohh, just for one day |
Ground Control to Major Tom
Ground Control to Major Tom
Take your protein pills and put your helmet on
Ground Control to Major Tom
Commencing countdown, engines on
Check ignition and may Gods love be with you
This is Ground Control to Major Tom
Youve really made the grade
And the papers want to know whose shirt you wear
Now its time to leave the capsule if you dare
This is Major Tom to Ground Control
Im stepping through the door
And Im floating in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today
For here am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the world
Planet Earth is blue
And theres nothing I can do
Though Im past 100,000 miles
Im feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Tell my wife I love her very much
She knows
Ground Control to Major Tom
Your circuits dead, theres something wrong
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you
Here am I floating round my tin can
Far above the moon
Planet Earth is blue
And theres nothing I can do |
Winners and losers, which one am I
Is it the same under the sky?
Black motorcycles and the will to survive
Losers and winners, low and high
In this glass and wire world
Surely leeches gain the right
To send their message screaming
One that has no meaning
To people who feel
Questions and questions plain as your nose
But who would believe a little rose?
Winners and losers in love with themselves
No Santa Claus, no happy elves
In this smoking gun existence
It gets harder to unwind
Ill just eat my breakfast
Try to keep my questions
Starving all night
Out in the suburbs, I met
My true fine love
Down in the suburbs, I met
My true fine love
She gave me money
She gave me head
She gave me everything
And then she went dead
Stick out your thumb
And hit the open road
Cat in a Mercedes
Goes by, hes old
Hes got some, you got none
Together maybe you can have some fun
Winners and losers
Gentlemen boozers
Winners and losers
Roll, roll, roll, roll
Roll your money down
Rock, rock, rock, rock
Taking over this town |
I, I will be king
And you, you will be queen
Though nothing will drive them away
We can beat them just for one day
We can be heroes just for one day
And you, you can be mean
And Ill drink all the time
Cause were lovers, and that is a fact
Yeah, were lovers, and that is that
Though nothing will keep us together
We could steal time just for one day
We can be heroes forever and ever
I, I can remember
Standing by thе wall
And the guns shot above our heads
And wе kissed as though nothing could fall
And the shame was on the other side
We can beat them forever and ever
We can be heroes just for one day
Oh, we can be heroes
Oh, we can be heroes
Oh, we can be heroes just for one day |
Im closer to the Golden Dawn
Immersed in Crowleys uniform of imagery
Im living in a silent film
Portraying Himmlers sacred realm of dream reality
Im frightened by the total goal
Drawing to the ragged hole
And I aint got the power anymore
No I aint got the power anymore
Im the twisted name in Goebbels eyes
Living proof of Churchills lies, Im destiny
Im torn between the light and dark
Where others see their targets in divine symmetry
Should I kiss the vipers fang
Or herald in the death of Man
Im sinking in the quicksand of my thought
And I aint got the power anymore
Dont believe in yourself
Dont deceive with belief
Knowledge comes with deaths release
Ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah
Im not a prophet or a stone age man
Just a mortal with potential of a superman, Im living on
Im tethered to the logic of homo sapien
Cant take my eyes from the great salvation of bullshit faith
If I dont explain what you ought to know
You can tell me all about it on the next Bardo
Im sinking in the quicksand of my thought
And I aint got the power anymore
Dont believe in yourself
Dont deceive with belief
Knowledge comes with deaths release
Ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah
Dont believe in yourself
Dont deceive with belief
Knowledge comes with deaths release
Ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah |
Do you know whats worth fighting for
When its not worth dying for?
Does it take your breath away
And you feel yourself suffocating?
Does the pain weigh out the pride?
And you look for a place to hide?
Did someone break your heart inside?
Youre in ruins
Go!
One, twenty-one guns
Lay down your arms
Give up the fight
Everybody
One, Go!
Throw up your arms into the sky
You and I
When youre at the end of the road
And you lost all sense of control
And your thoughts have taken their toll
When your mind breaks the spirit of your soul
Your faith walks on broken glass
And the hangover doesnt pass
Nothings ever built to last
Youre in ruins
One, twenty-one guns
Lay down your arms
Give up the fight
Everybody!
One, twenty-one guns
Throw up your arms into the sky
You and I
Get those hands up in the air!
Did you try to live on your own
When you burned down the house and home?
Did you stand too close to the fire?
Like a liar looking for forgiveness from a stone
One, twenty-one guns
Lay down your arms
Give up the fight
One, twenty-one guns
Throw up your arms into the sky
One, twenty-one guns
Lay down your arms
Give up the fight
One, twenty-one guns
Throw up your arms into the sky
You and I
One, Go!
Lay down your arms
Give up the fight
Everybody!
One, Go!
Throw up your arms into the sky
I cant hear you
One, Go!
Lay down your arms
Give up the fight
One more time!
One, twenty-one guns
Throw up your arms into the sky
You and I |
Shes just been to Russia and theyre dying their faces
Theyre dying over there
A pretty pink rose
That rock and roll lady takes a space-ship ride
Shes out of this world
A pretty pink rose
And were living for you, my love, were living for you
And were dying for you, my love
Pretty pink rose
She tore down Paris on the tail of Thom Paine
But the left wings broken, the rights insane
A pretty pink rose
Have a nice day, its a killer, turn a cheek
Its a Christian code
A pretty pink rose
And were living for you, my love, were living for you
And were dying for you, my love
Pretty pink rose
Shes the poor mans gold, shes the anarchist crucible
Flying in the face of the despot cannibal
Pretty pink rose
Never let it rain, never rain on the heart of the pretty pink rose
Pretty pink rose
And were living for you, my love, were living for you
And were dying for you, my love
Pretty pink rose
Get me thru the pain, thru the pain of the thorn on the pretty pink rose
Never let it rain, never rain, never rain on the pretty pink rose
Take me to the heart, to the heart, to the heart, of the pretty pink rose
Take me to the heart, to the heart, to the heart
Take me to the heart, to the heart, to the heart, of the pretty pink rose
Take me to the heart, to the heart, to the heart
Take me to the heart, to the heart, to the heart, of the pretty pink rose
Take me to the heart, to the heart, to the heart |
I saw him by the dj
The way he danced was cool
They said I stood no chance
They called me little fool
Well here I am before you
And all your friends can see
You roasting like a turkey
Its just this flame in me
And no one can burn like me
I am a laser
Burning through your eyes
And I know what kind of man you are
And I long to hold you tight
I am a laser
Knowing right from wrong
And I know what kind of heart you have
A heart so big and strong
I dreamed how much Id lay on you
Sitting by your side
Driving in my Dusenburgh
Going for a ride
Im going to turn my beam on
If only for an hour
You know I switch the heat on
When you feel my golden shower
And no one can burn like me
I am a laser
Burning through your eyes
And I know what kind of man you are
And I long to hold you tight
I am a laser
Knowing right from wrong
And I know what kind of heart you have
A heart so big and strong
I know what the boys call me
They think Im Black Barbarella
But only one beam do I have
And thats this heartbeat of mine
I am a laser
Burning through your eyes
And I know what kind of man you are
And I long to hold you tight
I am a laser
Knowing right from wrong
And I know what kind of heart you have
A heart so big and strong |
We passed upon the stair
We spoke of was and when
Although I wasnt there
He said I was his friend
Which came as some surprise
I spoke into his eyes, I thought you must have died alone, a long long time ago
Oh no, not me
I never lost my soul
You’re face to face
With the man who sold the world
I laughed and shook his hand
And made my way back home
I searched for form and land
For years and years I roamed
I gazed a gazeless stare
At all the millions here
I think I may have died alone
A long, long time ago
Oh no, not me
I never lost my soul
Im face to face
With the man who sold the world
With the man who sold the world
With the man who sold the world |
You knew just everything
But nothing at all
Now the moon is dark
Feels like pain again
You could feel my breath
You opened my eyes
For I could not see
When I met you
When I met you
I could not speak
You opened my mouth
You opened my heart
My spirit shows
The marks and stains
Could not exist
When I met you
Now its all the same
Its all the same
The sun is gone
Its all the same
But when I met you
When I met you
When I met you
When I met you
When I met you
You were afraid
She stole your heart
You dont understand
Should be ashamed
You should have walked
She tore you down
She tore you down
The edge had become the center of my world
The seams of my life
The streams of daydream
Like the wounds of a friend
And not the kiss of a foe
The peck of a blackened eye
A Lie for the crown
When I met you
I could not speak
How I met you
Then I met you
My spirit grows
My kind of truth
Could not exist
When I met you
Now Its all the same
Its all the same
The sun is gone
Its all the same
But when I met you
When I met you
When I met you
When I met you
When I met you
When I met you
I was the walking dead
I was kicked in the head
It was such a time
It was such a time
I was crushed inside
I was torn inside
When I met you
When I met you
I was too insane
Could not trust a thing
I was off my head
I was filled with truth
It was not Gods truth
Before I met you |
Pressure pushing down on me
Pressing down on you, no man ask for
Under pressure that brings a building down
Splits a family in two
Puts people on streets
Um ba ba be
Um ba ba be
De day da
Ee day da, thats okay
Its the terror of knowing what this world is about
Im watching my good friends screaming
Let me out
Pray tomorrow takes me higher
Day day de mm hm
Da da da ba ba
Okay
Chipping around, kick my brains around the floor
These are the days it never rains but it pours
Ee do ba be
Ee da ba ba ba
Um bo bo
Be lap
People on streets
Ee da de da de
People on streets
Ee da de da de da de da
Its the terror of knowing what this world is about
Im watching my good friends screaming
Let me out
Praying tomorrow will take me higher
And higher and higher and higher and higher
Turned away from it all like a blind man
Sat on a fence but it dont work out
Keep coming up with love but its so slashed and torn
Why, why, why?
Cant we give ourselves one more chance?
Why cant we give love that one more chance?
Cant we give love, give love, give love, give love
Give love, give love, give love, give love, give love?
Because loves such an old fashioned word
And love dares you to care for
The people on the edge of the night
And love dares you to change our way of
Caring about ourselves
This is our last dance
This is our last dance
Pushing down on me
Pressing down on you
Caring about ourselves
This is our last dance
This is our last dance
This is ourselves |
US bombs crusin overhead
There goes my love rocket red

Blaster bomb bomb bomb ahead
Multi millions still unfed
A mondo teeno givin head

Hold me shake me, Im all shook up
Psycho maniac, interbred
Shoot it up

Teenage crime now fashions dead
There goes my love rocket red
Shoot it up

Oh leave me alone, you know
Oh Henry, get off the phone, I gotta
I gotta straighten my face
This mellow thighed chick just put my spine out of place
My schooldays insane
My works down the drain
Well, shes a total blam-blam
She said she had to squeeze it but she-- and then she--
Oh dont lean on me, man, cause you cant afford the ticket
Im back from Suffragette City
Oh dont lean on me, man, cause you aint got time to check it
You know my Suffragette City

Shes alright

Oh dont lean on me, man, cause you cant afford the ticket

Dead ring ash of extreme defense
The lonely groups of company boys
Snapping pics of scrawny limbs and toothy grins
These are children riding naked on their tourist pals
While the hollows that pass for eyes swell from withdrawal
As he lies on a mattress in a rat-infested room
Talking bout his family and the cold back home
Between the dull cold eyes and the mind unstable
No one over here reads the papers, pal
Between the dull cold eyes and the mind unstable
Hes a clean trick and hes shopping for girls
A small black someone jumps over the crazy white guard
Cranking up the volume on a Michael Jackson song
Between the dull cold eyes and the mind unstable
No one over here reads the papers, pal
Between the dull cold eyes and the mind unstable
Hes a clean trick and hes shopping for girls
Where the frangipani scents the air
She mouths a word that breaks his stare
He grunts his reply in a garrulous croak
Thats a mighty big word for a nine year old
Between the dull cold eyes and the mind unstable
No one over here reads the papers, pal
Between the dull cold eyes and the mind unstable
Hes a clean trick and hes shopping for girls
Hes a clean trick and hes shopping for girls
You gaze down into her eyes for a million miles
You wanna give her a name and a clean rag doll |
Funny how secrets travel
Id start to believe if I were to bleed
Thin skies, the man chains his hands held high
Cruise me, blond
Cruise me, babe
A blond belief beyond, beyond, beyond
No return, no return
Im deranged
Deranged down, down, down
Im deranged down, down, down
So cruise me, babe, cruise me, babe, beyond
And the rain sets in
Its the angel-man
Im deranged
Cruise me, cruise me, cruise me, baby
The clutch of life
And the fist of love
Over your head
Big deal Salaam
Be real deranged Salaam
Before we reel
Im deranged
And the rain sets in
Its the angel-man
Im deranged
And the rain sets in
Its the angel-man
Im deranged
Cruise me, cruise me, cruise me, baby
Im deranged
And the rain sets in
Its the… |
Oh yeah
Mmm
Still dont know what I was waiting for
And my time was running wild, a million dead-end streets and
Every time I thought Id got it made
It seemed the taste was not so sweet
So I turned myself to face me
But Ive never caught a glimpse
Of how the others must see the faker
Im much too fast to take that test
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Ch-ch-changes, dont want to be a richer man
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Ch-ch-changes, just gonna have to be a different man
Time may change me
But I cant trace time
Oh yeah
I watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream of warm impermanence and
So the days float through my eyes
But still the days seem the same
And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
Theyre quite aware of what theyre going through
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Ch-ch-changes, dont tell them to grow up and out of it
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Ch-ch-changes, wheres your shame?
Youve left us up to our necks in it
Time may change me
But you cant trace time
Strange fascination, fascinating me
Ah, changes are taking the pace Im going through
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Ch-ch-changes, oh, look out you rock n rollers
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Ch-ch-changes, pretty soon now youre gonna get older
Time may change me
But I cant trace time
I said that time may change me
But I cant trace time |

Yeah you know what that is
Now I want to be your dog
Now I want to be your dog

Ooh give it to me

Yes now Im ready to close my mind

Do you remember a guy thats been
In such an early song?
I heard a rumour from Ground Control
Oh no, don’t say its true
They got a message from the Action Man
Im happy, hope you’re happy too
Ive loved all Ive needed to love
Sordid details following
The shrieking of nothing is killing
Just pictures of Jap girls in synthesis
And I, I aint got no money and I aint got no hair
But Im hoping to kick, but the planet is glowing
Ashes to ashes, funk to funky
We know Major Toms a junkie
Strung out in heavens high
Hitting an all-time low
Time and again I tell myself
I’ll stay clean tonight
But the little green wheels are following me
Oh no, not again
I’m stuck with a valuable friend
Im happy, I hope you’re happy too
One flash of light, one no smoking pistol
Ive never done good things
Ive never done bad things
Ive never did anything out of the blue, oh
Want an axe to break the ice
Wanna come down right now
Ashes to ashes, funk to funky
We know Major Tom’s a junkie
Strung out in heavens high
Hitting an all-time low
My mama said to get things done
Youd better not mess with Major Tom
My mama said to get things done
Youd better not mess with Major Tom
My mama said to get things done
Youd better not mess with Major Tom
My mama said to get things done
Youd better not mess with Major Tom
My mama said to get things done
Youd better not mess with Major Tom
My mama said to get things done
Youd better not mess with Major Tom
My mama said to get things done
Youd better not mess with Major Tom
My mama said to get things done

Everybody...
This has been one of the greatest tours of our lives, we really...
But first, Id like to thank the band, Id like to thank our road crew, and Id like to thank our lighting people
Of all the shows on this tour, this particular show will remain with us the longest, because...
Not only is it the last show of the tour, but its the last show well ever do. Thank you |
Nothing remains
We could run when the rain slows
Look for the cars or signs of life
Where the heat goes
Look for the drifters
We should crawl under the bracken
Look for the shafts of light on the road
Where the heat goes
Everything has changed
For in truth its the beginning of nothing
And nothing has changed
Everything has changed
For in truth its the beginning of an end
And nothing has changed
Everything has changed
In your fear
Of what we have become
Take to the fire
Now we must burn
All that we are
Rise together
Through these clouds
As on wings
This is the trip
And this the business we take
This is our number
All my trials
Lord, will be remembered
Everything has changed |
Threepenny Pierrot - we love you
Threepenny Pierrot - loves us too
Pockets of gladness, gay time eyes
Comical hero, Threepenny Pierrot
Happy little feet that dance all day
Lonely little heart with lots to say
Stepping footprints on your mind
Offering thoughts of Columbine
Bang the drum and blow the bugle call
Pierrot takes the stage to play for all
For heres a life his fortune rules
Forsaken by his Columbine
Threepenny Pierrot - we love you
Threepenny Pierrot - loves us too
Pockets of gladness, gay time eyes
Comical hero, Threepenny Pierrot
To tap his feet to greet dear Harlequin
The hearts of folks so keenly hard to win
A patchwork frame of tears and wine
The nectar for cruel Columbine
The part of three and leaves the stage forlorn
Puppets cold, their faces sad and drawn
Relive each trial of rise and fall
The love which lacks between us all
Threepenny Pierrot - we love you
Threepenny Pierrot - loves us too
Pockets of gladness, gay time eyes
Comical hero, Threepenny Pierrot
Threepenny Pierrot - we love you
Threepenny Pierrot - loves us too
Pockets of gladness, gay time eyes
Comical hero . . . . . . Threepenny Pierrot |
Ah, ah
Blue, blue, electric blue
Thats the colour of my room
Where I will live
Blue, blue
Pale blinds drawn all day
Nothing to read, nothing to say
Blue, blue
I will sit right down
Waiting for the gift of sound and vision
And I will sing
Waiting for the gift of sound and vision
Drifting into my solitude
Over my head
Dont you wonder sometimes
About sound and vision?
About sound and vision?
About sound and vision? |
This one goes back to about the same time period as a, Changes
Im very fearful tonight as I got struck down by laryngitis earlier this week
So if I give out and if any of you know any of the words
For Gods sake, join in
Counting on you
Its a god awful small affair
To the girl with the mousey hair
But her mummy is yelling, No!
And her daddy has told her to go
But her friend is nowhere to be seen
Now she walks through her sunken dream
To the seat with the clearest view
And shes hooked to the silver screen
But the film is a saddening bore
Cause shes lived it ten times or more
Its about to be lived again
As they ask her to focus on
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man, look at those cavemen go
Its the freakiest show
Take a look at the lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh man, wonder if hell ever know
Its the best selling show
Is there life on Mars?
Its on Americas tortured brow
Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
And the workers have struck for fame
Cause Lennons on sale again
See the mice in their million hordes
From Ibiza to the Norfolk broads
Rule Britannia is out of bounds
To my mother, my dog, and clowns
But the film is a saddening bore
Cause I wrote it ten times or more
Its about to be writ again
As I ask you to focus on
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man, look at those cavemen go
Its the freakiest show
Take a look at the lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh man, wonder if hell ever know
Its the best selling show
Is there life on Mars?
Thank you |
Its safe in the city to love in a doorway
To wrangle some screens from the door
And isnt it me, putting pain in a stranger
Like a portrait in flesh who trails on a leash
Will you see that Im scared and Im lonely?
So Ill break up my room and yawn and I
Run to the centre of things
Where the knowing one says:
Boys, boys, its a sweet thing
Boys, boys, its a sweet thing, sweet thing
If you want it, boys, get it here, thing
Cause hope, boys, is a cheap thing, cheap thing
Im glad that youre older than me
Makes me feel important and free
Does that make you smile, isnt that me
Im in your way and Ill steal every moment
If this trade is a curse, then Ill bless you
And turn to the crossroads of Hamburgers, as in
Boys, boys, its a sweet thing
Boys, boys, its a sweet thing, sweet thing
If you want it, boys, get it here, thing
Cause hope, boys, is a cheap thing, cheap thing
Is it nice in your snow storm, freezing your brain
Do you think that your face looks the same
Then let it be, its all I ever wanted
Its a street with a deal and a taste
Its got claws, its got me, its got you |
Its a god-awful small affair
To the girl with the mousy hair
But her mummy is yelling No
And her daddy has told her to go
But her friend is nowhere to be seen
And she walks through her sunken dream
To the seat with the clearest view
And shes hooked to the silver screen
But the film is a saddening bore
For shes lived it ten times or more
She could spit in the eyes of fools
As they ask her to focus on
Sailors fighting in the dancehall
Oh man, look at those cavemen go
Its the freakiest show
Take a look at the lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh man, wonder if hell ever know
Hes in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars?
Its on Americas tortured brow
The Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
Now the workers have struck for fame
Cause Lennons on sale again
See the mice in their million hordes
From Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads
Rule Britannia is out of bounds
To my mother, my dog and clowns
But the film is a saddening bore
Cause I wrote it ten times or more
Its about to be writ again
And I ask her to focus on
Sailors fighting in the dancehall
Oh man, look at those cavemen go

You have loved me with energy
Backed up with hard work and guts
We inhabit eternity
We fly forever in space
The way we run together
The way we breeze the miles
We put our heads together
And laughingly we smile
It cant fall
It cant fall
Baby, it cant fall
Death means nothing at all
It cant fall
It cant fall
Baby, it cant fall
Our love will outlive this earth
Words have so many meanings
Sometimes mean nothing at all
Sometimes I feel so simple
I dont know whats coming next
We have swum in the ocean
And that was really alright
Im not a big man
Its hard to face the world
It cant fall
It cant fall
Baby, it cant fall
That would nail me to the wall
It cant fall
It cant fall
Baby it cant fall
Our love will outlive this earth
It cant fall |
Wake up you sleepy head
Put on some clothes, shake up your bed
Put another log on the fire for me
Ive made some breakfast and coffee
Look out my window and what do I see
A crack in the sky and a hand reaching down to me
All the nightmares came today
And it looks as though theyre here to stay
What are we coming to
No room for me, no fun for you
I think about a world to come
Where the books were found by the Golden ones
Written in pain, written in awe
By a puzzled man who questioned
What we were here for
All the strangers came today
And it looks as though theyre here to stay
Oh you Pretty Things
Dont you know youre driving your
Mamas and Papas insane
Oh you Pretty Things
Dont you know youre driving your
Mamas and Papas insane
Let me make it plain
You gotta make way for the Homo Superior
Look out at your children
See their faces in golden rays
Dont kid yourself they belong to you
Theyre the start of a coming race
The earth is a bitch
Weve finished our news
Homo Sapiens have outgrown their use
All the strangers came today
And it looks as though theyre here to stay
Oh you Pretty Things
Dont you know youre driving your
Mamas and Papas insane
Oh you Pretty Things
Dont you know youre driving your
Mamas and Papas insane
Let me make it plain
You gotta make way for the Homo Superior |
I, I will be king
And you, you will be queen
Though nothing will drive them away
We can beat them just for one day
We can be heroes just for one day
And you, you can be mean
And I, Ill drink all the time
Cause were lovers, and that is a fact
Yes, were lovers, and that is that
Though nothing will keep us together
We could steal time just for one day
We can be heroes forever and ever
What dyou say?
I, I wish you could swim
Like the dolphins, like dolphins can swim
Though nothing, nothing will keep us together
We can beat them forever and ever
Oh, we can be heroes just for one day
I, I will be king
And you, you will be queen
Though nothing will drive them away
We can be heroes, just for one day
We can be us just for one day
I, I can remember
Standing by the wall
And the guns shot above our heads
And we kissed as though nothing could fall
And the shame was on the other side
Oh, we can beat them forever and ever
Then we could be heroes just for one day
We can be heroes
We can be heroes
We can be heroes just for one day
We can be heroes
Were nothing, and nothing will help us
Maybe were lying, then you better not stay
But we could be safer just for one day
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, just for one day |
Youve got a habit of leaving me
And youve got a habit of deserting me
Sometimes I cry
Sometimes Im so sad
Sometimes Im so glad, so glad
You could go on if you wanted to, wanted to, wanted to
Wanted to
Oh
If you wanted to, yeah
Oh huh
Youve got a habit of leaving me
And youve got a habit of deserting me
Sometimes I cry
Sometimes Im so sad
Sometimes Im so glad, so glad
You could go on if you wanted to, wanted, wanted to
Wanted to, ooh yeah, yeah
Oh, if you wanted to
If you wanted to, yeah, yeah
Wanted to |
Fame, makes a man take things over
Fame, lets him loose, and hard to swallow
Fame, puts you there, when things are hollow
Fame
Fame, its not your brain, just a flame
A funny tin to dip you insane
Fame
Fame, what you like is in the Limo
Fame, what you get is no tomorrow
Fame, what you need you have to borrow
Fame
Fame, Nein! Its mine! is just his line
Hes only trying to drive you to crime...
Is it any wonder
Ill reject you first
Is it any wonder
Youre too cool to fool
Fame
Bully for you, chilly for me
Got to get a rain check on... pain
Fame
Fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame
Whats your name? Whats your name? Whats your name? Whats your name?
What a game, what a game, what a game, what a game
What a shame, shame, shame, shame, shame
What a shame, shame, shame, shame, shame, shame, shame, shame, shame, shame, shame, shame, shame, shame |
Two by two, they go walking by
Hand in hand, they watch me cry
Lonely nights, I dream youre there
Morning sun and youre gone
Ill do anything you say
Ill do anything you say
Ill do anything you say
Do anything you say, do anything
One desire I ask of you
Please be mine, please be mine
Thousand years and Ill return
Youll be mine, youll be mine
Ill do anything you say
Ill do anything you say
Ill do anything you say
Do anything you say, do anything
Two by two theyre walking by
Hand in hand, they watch me cry
Ill do anything you say
Ill do anything you say
Ill do anything you say
Do anything you say, do anything

Oh yeah
Now Ziggy played guitar
Jamming good with Weird and Gilly
And The Spiders from Mars
He played it left hand
But made it too far
Became the special man
Then we were Ziggys Band
Ziggy really sang
Screwed up eyes and screwed down hairdo
Like some cat from Japan
Oh he could lick em by smiling
He could leave em to hang
He came on so loaded man
Well hung, snow white tan
So where were the spiders
While the fly tried to break our balls?
Just the beer light to guide us
So we bitched about his fans
And should we crush his sweet hands?
Oh yeah
Ziggy played for time
Jiving us that we were Voodoo
The kids was just crass
He was the naz
With God-given ass
He took it all too far
But boy could he play guitar
Making love with his ego
Ziggy sucked up into his mind
Like a leper messiah
When the kids had killed a man
I had to break up the band
Oh yeah
Oooh
Oh hohoo
Ziggy played guitar |
You can go where you may
But Ill follow you
Wherever you go
Just turn around and you know

You can stray out of sight
Cause Ill follow you
Wherever you go
Just turn around and you know

See you strong in the failing light
Just as strong, late at night
You cant lose my trail on you
Just you try, just you try
See me now, lost me now
But Ill follow you
Wherever you go
Just turn around and you know
Ill be waiting there
See you strong in the failing light
Just as strong late at night
You cant lose my trail on you
Just you try, just you try
You can go where you may

Wherever you go
Just turn around and you know

Nothings going to touch you in these golden years
Golden years, gold, whop, whop, whop
Run for the shadows

In these golden years
Some of these days, and it wont be long
Going to drive back down where you once belonged
In the back of a dream car, twenty foot long
Dont cry, my sweet, dont break my heart
Doing all right, but youve gotta get smart
Wish upon, wish upon, day upon day

Theres my baby, lost thats all
Once, Im begging you, save her little soul

Well Billy rapped all night about his suicide

Speed jive, dont want to stay alive

Reborn |
Once there was a fellow and his name was Buzz
He was just a rookie cop, just a baby Fuzz
He patroled the Sunset Strip in the land of the free and the home of the hip
He protected you and me until he met a girl called Alice D
Alice was the girl that all the hippies dread
And they called her sweet Alice the head
Alice it was plain to see, was full of pot and LSD
Shed attract a great big crowd, because her inner piece was much too loud
Good Buzz did the thing that good Fuzz must
Stuck his gun in Alices back and said This is a bust
Shone the flashlight in her eyes, she began to hypnotise
Buzz said What a wild sensation, guess this must be hallucination
Love is so sensational, when you fall in love with eyes dilational
Now theyre taking pills in shops, Buzz is not afraid of Watts
Buzz and Alice D have shown the way of where the fuzz might be some day
Buzz is still a cop of course, hes the pusher on the porch
Hes protecting you and me from evil women like poor Alice D |
Well I, well I left my wife and child
Yeah, my conscience is about to drive me wild, yeah
A little voice inside my head goes on and on
It says Louie, Louie, Louie
You better come back home
Well I, well I thought I make it by myself, yeah
Oh, but my baby, shes got my heart a-upon the shelve
Well I, well I can still hear her moaning
Theyre crying Louie, Louie, Louie
You better go back home
You better go back home, yeah
You better go back home, yeah
You better go back home
Oh yeah, you better go back home
You better go back a-ho a-ho a-home, a-home yeah yeah
Home-a-home-a-home
Just a-go back a-home a-home a-home
Driving home, yeah, home
Just a little bit louder now
Just a little bit louder now
Just a little bit louder
Well, Im going home
Well, Im a-going home, yeah
Ooh, Im a-gonna back, back, back, back, back to my home
Yeah home
Home sweet home
Im a-gonna back home, ooh
Im going home, yeah
Im going home, yeah
Im going home, yeah
Im going home, yeah
Back to my baby
Back to where they need me |
I, I wish I could swim
Like dolphins, like dolphins could swim
Though nothing will keep us together
We can beat them, for ever and ever
Oh we can be Heroes, just for one day
Oh we can be Heroes, just for one day
I, I will be king
And you, you will be queen
Though nothing will drive us away
We can be heroes, just for one day
We can be us, just for one day
I, I can remember
Standing, standing by the wall
And the guns, shot above our heads
And we kissed, as though nothing could fall
And the shame, the shame was on the other side
Oh we can beat them, for ever and ever
And we could be Heroes, just for one day |
Ooh
He looked a lot like Che Guevara, drove a diesel van
Kept his gun in quiet seclusion, such a humble man
The only survivor of the National Peoples Gang
Panic in Detroit, I asked for an autograph
He wanted to stay home, I wish someone would phone
Panic in Detroit
He laughed at accidental sirens that broke the evening gloom
The police had warned of repercussions, they followed none too soon
A trickle of strangers were all that were left alive
Panic in Detroit, I asked for an autograph
He wanted to stay home, I wish someone would phone
Panic in Detroit
Putting on some clothes, I made my way to school
I found my teacher crouching in his overalls
I screamed and ran to smash my favorite slot machine
And jumped the silent cars that slept at traffic lights
Having scored a trillion dollars, made a run back home
Found him slumped across the table, a gun and me alone
I ran to the window, looked for a plane or two
Panic in Detroit, hed left me an autograph
Let me collect dust, I wish someone would phone
Panic in Detroit
Panic in Detroit
Panic in Detroit
Ow |
I, I wish you could swim
Like the dolphins, like dolphins can swim
Though nothing, nothing will keep us together
We can beat them, forever and ever
Oh we can be heroes, just for one day
I, I will be king
And you, you will be queen
Though nothing, will drive them away
We can be heroes, just for one day
We can be us, just for one day
I, I can remember
Standing, by the wall
And the guns, shot above our heads
And we kissed, as though nothing could fall
And the shame, was on the other side
We can beat them, forever and ever
And we could be heroes, just for one day
We can be heroes
We can be heroes
We can be heroes
Just for one day
We can be heroes |
I keep forgetting you dont love me no more
I keep forgetting you dont want me no more
I keep forgetting that you told me that you
Didnt want me around any more
But these stupid old feet
Just head for your street
Like theyve done so many times before
And this stuborn old fist
On the end of my wrist
Keeps a knocking on your front door
I keep forgetting you dont love me no more
I keep forgetting you dont want me no more
I keep forgetting bout those heartbreaking nights
And those heartbreaking things
That you said
Though I know in my heart
Were drifting apart
I cant believe that our love is dead
Though its plain as can be
That youre finished with me
I just cant get it through my head
Keep forgetting you dont love me no more
Keep forgetting you dont want me no more
Though I know in my heart
Were drifting apart
I cant believe that our love is dead
Though its plain as can be
That youre finished with me
I just cant get it through my head
Keep forgetting you dont love me no more
Keep forgetting you dont want me no more
Keep forgetting you dont want me no more
Keep forgetting you dont want me no more
Keep forgetting you dont want me no more |

Now its time to dig straight down if ya dare
This is Major Steve to Diamond Pickaxe

Here comes Spike to talk again
With the babies and chimps
Got his talking girl
Were going on another road trip
Hey man dont forget
My rawhide, I been howling
Since I bought my ticket
Something called love
Yeah something called love
Im through chasing all the chickens
Well I am just a modern dog
You seen me chasing my tail before
Cause of a lust for life
Lust for life
I got a lust for life
Im worth a million in chew toys
Got a future film
Chase a G.T.O
Got a choke chain on
Turn up the knob
Yeah, Im worth a million in chew toys
Yeah Im through sleeping in the
Dog pound- no more licking my woo!
No more licking my woo!
With money and gold

Youre not giving an inch
Youre strung like wire
Your open arms they flinch
Joan Crawford style
Treated like a towel
Inside you howl
On some dark concrete
Midnight street
Youve built an altar
Thats quite complete
Your self control
Is damned amazing
Youre trying hard
And I want you little miss emperor
You really want to grow
And youre alert I know
But baby, its mostly drown
Its a company town
Cheat Gods and joke
Attack your noble ghost
I saw the best minds of my generation
Learn how to crawl
Across our nation
Conformity falls
Like one wet blanket
Look how we live
And I want you little miss emperor
Little miss emperor trying to open doors |
Its a god-awful small affair
To the girl with the mousy hair
But her mummy is yelling, No!
And her daddy has told her to go
But her friend is nowhere to be seen
Now she walks through her sunken dream
To the seat with the clearest view
And shes hooked on the silver screen
But the film is a saddening bore
For shes lived it ten times or more
She could spit in the eyes of fools
As they ask her to focus on
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh, man, look at those cavemen go
Its the freakiest show
Take a look at the lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh, man, wonder if hell ever know
Hes in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars?
Its on Americas tortured brow
That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
Now the workers have struck for fame
Cause Lennons on sale again
For the mice in their million hordes
From Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads
Rule Britannia is out of bounds
To my mother, my dog, and clowns
But the film is a saddening bore
Because I wrote it ten times or more
Its about to be writ again
All I ask you to focus on
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh, man, look at those cavemen go
Its the freakiest show
Take a look at the lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh, man, wonder if hell ever know
Hes in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars? |
The children of the summers end gathered in the dampened grass
We played our songs and felt the London sky resting on our hands
It was Gods land
It was ragged and naive
It was Heaven
Touch, we touched the very soul of holding each and every life
We claimed the very source of joy ran through
It didnt, but it seemed that way
I kissed a lot of people that day
Oh, to capture just one drop of all the ecstasy that swept that afternoon
To paint that love upon a white balloon
And fly it from the toppest top of all the tops that man has pushed beyond his brain
Satori must be something just the same
We scanned the skies with rainbow eyes and saw machines of every shape and size
We talked with tall Venusians passing through
And Peter tried to climb aboard but the Captain shook his head and away they soared
Climbing through the ivory vibrant cloud
Someone passed some bliss among the crowd and we walked back to the road, unchained
The Sun Machine is coming down, and were gonna have a party |

Photograph king, watches you go
Now, fashions may change, heaven knows
But you still leave a stain on me
Only to go
Colours may fade
Seasons may change, weather blows, but you still leave a mark on me
Wrong, negative fades, never the twain, reckless and tame
I like the beat of your drum
I like to look in your eyes
I like to look through your things
Id like to beat on your drum
I like the smell of your flesh
I like the dirt that you dish
I like the clothes that you wear
Id like to beat on your drum
Disco brat, follow the pack
Watching you peel, heaven knows, prison cant hold all
This greedy intention
Only to go, picture you now
Music may change, hi-di-ho, keen to follow your nose
Wrong love out of tune
Sweet is the night
Bright light destroys me
I like the beat of your drum
I like to look in your eyes
I like to look through your things
Id like to beat on your drum
I like the smell of your flesh
I like the dirt that you dish

On a government loan

No more beating my brains
No more beating my brains
With liquor and drugs
With liquor and drugs
Ooh, Im just a modern guy

She had an horror of rooms
She was tired
You cant hide beat
When I looked in her eyes they were blue but nobody home
She couldve been a killer
If she didnt walk the way she do
And she do
She opened strange doors
Wed never close again
She began to wail jealousies screams
Waiting at the light know what I mean
Scary monsters, super creeps
Keep me running, running scared
Scary monsters, super creeps
Keep me running, running scared
She asked me to stay
And I stole her room
She asked for my love
And I gave her a dangerous mind
Now shes stupid in the streets
And she cant socialise
Well I love the little girl
And Ill love her till the day she dies
She wails
Jimmys guitar sound
Jealousies screams
Waiting at the light know what I mean
Scary monsters, super creeps
Keep me running, running scared
Scary monsters, super creeps
Keep me running, running scared
Scary monsters, super creeps
Keep me running, running scared
Scary monsters, super creeps
Keep me running, running scared
Run, Run, Run |
Too many people about
Telling me what to do with myself
Its hard to get around
Walking on soft, soft ground
Well they can say what they feel
Cause Im completely foreign
I know its clear
Its putting my mind, my mind at ease
Shes reliable, but demanding
She orders me about
She often keeps on wanting
Till the morning light is out
Too many mouths
Arguing over nothing at all
Its hard to get around
Walking on soft, soft ground |
Its a godawful small affair
To the girl with the mousy hair
But her mother is yelling No
And her father has told her to go
But her friend is nowhere to be seen
Now she walks through her sunken dream
To the seat with the clearest view
And shes hooked to the silver screen
But the film is a saddening bore
For shes lived it ten times or more
She could spit in the eyes of fools
As they ask her to focus on
Sailors fighting in the dancehall
Oh, man, look at those cavemen go
Its the freakiest show
Take a look at the lawman beating up the wrong guy
Oh, man, wonder if hell ever know
Hes in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars?
Its on Americas tortured brow
That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
Now the workers have struck for fame
Cause Lennons on sale again
See the mice in their million hordes
From Ibeza to the Norfolk Broads
Rule Britannia is out of bounds
To my mother, my dog and clowns
But the film is a saddening bore
Cause I wrote it ten times or more
Its about to be writ again
As I ask you to focus on
Sailors fighting in the dancehall
Oh man, look at those cavemen go
Its the freakiest show
Take a look at the lawman beating up the wrong guy
Oh man, wonder if hell ever know
Hes in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars?
Is there life on Mars? |
I, I wish you could swim
Like the dolphins, like dolphins can swim
Though nothing, nothing will keep us together
We can beat them for ever and ever
Oh, we can be heroes just for one day
I, I will be king and you, you will be queen
Though nothing will drive them away
We can be heroes just for one day
We can be us just for one day
I, I can remember
Standing by the wall
And the guns shot above our heads
And we kissed as though nothing could fall
And the shame was on the other side
Oh, we can beat them forever and ever
Then we could be heroes just for one day
We can be heroes, we can be heroes
We can be heroes just for one day
We can be heroes
Were nothing and nothing will help us
Maybe were lying then you better not stay
But we could be safer just for one day
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Just for one day, oh, just for one day |
This is Major Tom to Ground Control
I’m stepping through the door
And I’m floating in the most peculiar way
Can I please get back inside now, if I may?
For here am I floating ‘round my tin can
Far above the world
Planet earth is blue and there’s nothing I can do
This is Major Tom to Ground Control
Im feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Tell my wife I love her very much, she knows
Though Im past one hundred thousand miles
Im feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows what I must do
And I think my life on earth is nearly through
Ground Control to Major Tom
You’re off your course, directions wrong
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you-
Here am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the moon
Planet earth is blue and there’s nothing I can do
Do, do do do |
Ground control to major Tom
Ground control to major Tom
Take your protein pills and put your helmet on
Ground control to major Tom
Commencing countdown , engines on
Check ignition and may gods love be with you
This is ground control to major Tom, youve really made the grade
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear
Now its time to leave the capsule if you dare
This is major Tom to ground control, Im stepping through the door
And Im floating in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today
Here am I floatin round my tin can far above the world
Planet Earth is blue and theres nothing I can do
Though Im past one hundred thousand miles, Im feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Tell my wife I love her very much, she knows
Ground control to major Tom, your circuits dead, theres something wrong
Can you hear me, major Tom?
Can you hear me, major Tom?
Can you hear me, major Tom?
Can you...
Here am I sitting in my tin can far above the Moon
Planet Earth is blue and theres nothing I can do |
Baby, you can own two hearts
Baby, dont try to tear me apart
Someones got to go and I wont, I wont
Thats a promise
Baby, you cant fool around
Baby, cant turn me upside down
Someones got to go and I wont, I wont
Thats a promise
Its just a matter of time before you call him on the phone
Tell him please, please leave him alone
Please leave him alone
Its just a matter of time, call him on the phone
Tell him please, please leave him alone
Please leave him alone
Baby, youve got me used
Baby, Cant you be like you?
Someones got to go and I wont, I wont
Thats a promise |
Time takes a cigarette, puts it in your mouth
You pull on your finger, then another finger, then your cigarette
The wall to wall is calling, it lingers, then you forget
Ohhh, youre a rock n roll suicide
Youre too old to lose it, too young to choose it
And the clock waits so patiently on your song
You walk past a cafe but you dont eat when youve lived too long
Oh, no, no, no, youre a rock n roll suicide
Chev brakes are snarling as you stumble across the road
But the day breaks instead so you hurry home
Dont let the sun blast your shadow
Dont let the milk float ride your mind
Youre so natural, religiously unkind
Oh no love! Youre not alone
Youre watching yourself but youre too unfair
You got your head all tangled up
But if I could only make you care
Oh no love! Youre not alone
No matter what or who youve been
No matter when or where youve seen
All the knives seem to lacerate your brain
Ive had my share, Ill help you with the pain
Youre not alone
Just turn on with me and youre not alone
Lets turn on with me and youre not alone
Gimme your hands cause youre wonderful
Gimme your hands cause youre wonderful
Oh gimme your hands |
I, I will be King
And you, you will be Queen
Though nothing will drive them away
We can beat them, just for one day
We can be heroes, just for one day
I, I wish you could swim
Like the dolphins, like dolphins can swim
Cause were lovers, and that is a fact
Yes, were lovers, and that is that
Though nothing, will keep us together
We can beat them, for ever and ever
We can be heroes, just for one day
What do you say
I, I can remember
Standing, standing by the wall
And the guns, shot above our heads
And we kissed as though nothing could fall
And the shame was on the other side
Oh we can beat them forever and ever
We can be heroes, just for one day
We can be heroes
We can be heroes
We can be heroes
Just for one day
We can be heroes
Were nothing and nothing and no one will help us
Baby, we will die and well never, never stay
But we ccould be saved just for one day
We can be heroes... Just for one day...
We can be heroes... Just for one day...
We can be heroes... Just for one day...
We can be heroes... Just for one day... |
Standing on the corner, suitcase in my hand
Jack is in his coat, and Jane is her vest, and, me
Im in a rocknroll band. Huh!
Ridin in a Stutz-Bearcat, Jim
Yknow, those were different times!
Oh, all the poet, they studied rules of verse
And the ladies, they rolled their eyes
Sweet Jane! Whoa! Sweet Jane, oh-oh-a! Sweet Jane!
Ill tell you something
Jack, he is a banker
And Jane, she is a clerk
Both of them save their monies, ha
And when, when they come home from work!
Ooh! Sittin down by the fire, oh!
The radio does play
The classical music there, Jim
The March of the Wooden Soldiers
All you protest kids
You can hear Jack say, get ready, ah
Sweet Jane! Come on baby now! Sweet Jane! Oh-oh-a! Sweet Jane!
Some people, they like to go out dancing
And other peoples, they have to work. Just watch me now!
And theres even some evil mothers
Well theyre gonna tell you that everything is just dirt
Yknow that, women, never really faint
And that villains always blink their eyes, woo!
And that, yknow, children are the only ones who blush!
And that, life is, just to die!
And, everyone who ever had a heart, oh
That wouldnt turn around and break it
And anyone who ever played a part, whoa
And wouldnt turn around and hate it!
Sweet Jane! Whoa-oh-oh! Sweet Jane! Sweet Jane. Sweet Jane
Sweet Jane. Sweet Jane
Heavenly wine and roses
Seems to whisper to her when he smiles. ah
Heavenly wine and roses
Seems to whisper to her when he smiles. hey!
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la, oh
Sweet Jane! Sweet Jane! Sweet Jane! Sweet Jane! Sweet Jane! |
Watching him dash away
Swinging an old bouquet
Dead roses
Sake and strange divine
Uh-huh-huh-uh, huh-uh
Youll make it
Passionate bright young things
Takes him away to war
Dont fake it
Saddening glissando strings
Uh-huh-huh-uh, huh-uh
Youll make it
Who will love Aladdin Sane?
Battle cries and champagne
Just in time for sunrise
Who will love Aladdin Sane?
Motor sensational
Paris or maybe hell
Im waiting
Clutches of sad remains
Waits for Aladdin Sane
Youll make it
Who will love Aladdin Sane?
Millions weep a fountain
Just in case of sunrise
Who will love Aladdin Sane?
Will love Aladdin Sane
Love Aladdin Sane
Who will love Aladdin Sane?
Millions weep a fountain
Just in case of sunrise
Who will love Aladdin Sane?
Will love Aladdin Sane
Will love Aladdin Sane
Insane
Insane
Who will love Aladdin Sane
Will love Aladdin Sane |
Ill give you back my farm and Ill give you back my house
Ill give you back my right to be free
Ive got moon, Ive got sun
Lightning, lightning, lightning
Ive got me, Ive got you
Frightening, frightening, frightening
Ill give you back my farm and Ill give you back my house
Ill give you back my right to be free
Ill give you back my farm and Ill give you back my house
Ill give you back my right to be free
Ive got moon, Ive got sun
Lightning, lightning, lightning

Dozing bumble, get off her shoulder
She wants to be still, she wants to feel older
Sunshine, shadows soften her hair
Our fingertips touch, she wants to feel older
We’re citizens of town lying in a country field
Gazing down upon her face
Suddenly were lovers
Your briefcase prince is by your side
To kiss away the dew
Angel angel grubby face, I love you
Its thirteen miles to Factory Street
The train is going soon
Angel angel grubby face, I love you
Do you love me?
Sunday, oak tree, sing me a song
The couples of town are lost in your branches
Monday morning, buses and smoke
Workshop encounter, disorder and vouchers
Our city clothes offend your leaves
Your naked sky demands the reason why we lie beneath the shade
Because we love each other
Your briefcase prince is by your side
To kiss away to the dew
Angel angel grubby face, I love you
Its thirteen miles to Factory Street
The train is going soon
Angel angel grubby face, I love you
Do you love me?
Your briefcase prince is by your side
To kiss away to the dew
Angel angel grubby face, I love you
Its thirteen miles to Factory Street
Train is going soon
Angel angel grubby face, I love you
Do you love me?
Do you love me? |
Space...
Space...
Spaceboy
Spaceboy, youre sleepy now
Your silhouette is so stationary
Spaceboy, youre sleepy now
Your silhouette is so stationary
Youre released but your custody calls
And I want to be free
Dont you want to be free
Do you like girls or boys
Its confusing these days
But moondust will cover you
Cover you
This chaos is killing me
Space fucking boy
Spaceboy, fuck you
Space fucking boy
Bye bye love
Bye bye fucking spaceboy
Bye bye love
Fuck up Spaceboy!
Bye bye my love |
I, I will be king
And you, you will be queen
Though nothing will drive them away
We can beat them, just for one day
We can be heroes, just for one day
And you, you can be mean
And I, Ill drink all the time
Cause were lovers, and that is a fact
Yes were lovers, and that is that
Though nothing, will keep us together
We could steal time, just for one day
We can be heroes, for ever and ever
What dyou say?
I, I wish you could swim
Like the dolphins, like dolphins can swim
Though nothing, nothing will keep us together
We can beat them, for ever and ever
Oh we can be heroes, just for one day
I, I will be king
And you, you will be queen
Though nothing will drive them away
We can be heroes, just for one day
We can be us, just for one day
I, I can remember
Standing, by the wall
And the guns, shot above our heads
And we kissed, as though nothing could fall
And the shame, was on the other side
Oh we can beat them, for ever and ever
Then we could be heroes, just for one day
We can be heroes
We can be heroes
We can be heroes
Just for one day
We can be heroes
Were nothing, and nothing will help us
Maybe were lying, then you better not stay
But we could be safer, just for one day |

25th., September 1967
Dear Sandra,
When I called in this, my managers office, a few moments ago I was handed my very first American fan letter - and it was from you. I was so pleased that I had to sit down and type an immediate reply, even though Ken is shouting at me to get on with a script he badly needs. That can wiat .
Ive been waiting for some reaction to the album from American listeners. There were reviews in Billboard and Cash Box, but they were by professional critics and they rarely reflect the opinions of the public. The critics were very flattering however. They even liked the single Love You Till Tuesday. Ive got a copy of the American album and theyve printed the picture a little yellow. Im really not that blond. I think the picture on the back is more me. Hope you like those enclosed.
In answer to your questions, my real name is David Jones and I dont have to tell you why I changed it. Nobodys going to make a monkey out of you said my manager. My birthday is January 8th and I guess Im 510. There is a Fan Club here in England, but if things go well in the States then well have one there I suppose. Its a little early to even think about it.
I hope one day to get to America. My manager tells me lots about it as he has been there many times with other acts he manages. I was watching an old film on TV the other night called No Down Payment a great film, but rather depressing if it is a true reflection of The American Way Of Life. However, shortly after that they showed a documentary about Robert Frost the American poet, filmed mainly at his home in Vermont, and that evened the score. I am sure that that is nearer the real America. I made my first movie last week. Just a fifteen minutes short, but it gave me some good experience for a full length deal I have starting in January.
Thankyou for being so kind as to write to me and do please write again and let me know some more about yourself.
Yours sincerely,
David Bowie |
Columbine my frail design
I see you see me standing on my own
Is it you that Im walking through
Should I retrace my point of view
Im left in clouded dreams of finding who
Not Columbine
Just incase youre my disguise
I found yourself to my surprise
Im on the ground
And its Harlequin who fix me up
Who catches you
Who wanishes me
From finding who
You are |
