My death waits like an old roué
So confident Ill go his way
Whistle to him and the passing time
My death waits like a bible truth
At the funeral of my youth
We drank for that and the passing time
My death waits like a witch at night
As surely as our love is bright
Lets not think of that or the passing time
But whatever lies behind the door
There is nothing much to do
Angel or devil, I dont care
For, in front of that door
There is you
My death waits like a beggar blind
Who sees the world through an unlit mind
Throw him a dime for the passing time
My death waits to allow my friends
A few good times before it ends
Ah lets not think about the passing time
My death waits there between your thighs
Your cool fingers will close my eyes
Lets not think about the passing time
But what ever lies behind the door
There is nothing much to do
Angel or devil, I dont care
For in front of that door
There is you
My death waits there, among the leaves
In magicians mysterious sleeves
Rabbits and dogs and the passing time
My death waits there among the flowers
Where the blackest shadow cowers
So lets pick lilacs for the passing time
My death waits there, in a double bed
Sails of oblivion at my head
Lets not think about the passing time
But whatever lies behind the door
There is nothing much to do
Angel or devil, I dont care
For, in front of that door
There is you |
Yo, VIP, lets kick it
Ice Ice Baby
Ice Ice Baby
Alright stop, collaborate and listen
Ice is back with my brand new invention
Something grabs a hold of me tightly
Flow like 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! Go rush the speaker that booms
Im killin your brain like a poisonous mushroom
Deadly when I play a dope melody
Anything less than the best is a felony
Love it or leave it, you better gain way
You better hit bullseye, 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
Ice Ice Baby
Ice Ice Baby
Ice Ice Baby
Now that the party is jumping
With the bass kicked in and the Vegas are pumpin
Quick to the point, to the point no faking
Im cooking MCs like a pound of bacon
Burning em 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, 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 Avenue
Girls were hot, wearing less than bikinis
Rockman lovers driving Lamborghinis
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 they full of eight ball
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
Ice Ice Baby
Ice Ice Baby
Ice Ice Baby
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 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 D-Shay revolves it
Ice Ice Baby
Ice Ice Baby
Ice Ice Baby
Ice Ice Baby
Ice
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 |

Im walking down the middle of the road
Close my eyes pretend im going home
The trees surround my mind like your perfume...
Your voice is in the wind that blows
I see your name on stony ground
I look around and everything is you
Buh - duh - buh - duh - buh

Wake up each morning rise up from my bed
A little piece of leather round my head
To stop the sweat from dripping on my eye...
Your grace is in the tree i see
Your strength is in the axe i wield
I look around and everything is you
Buh - duh - buh - duh - buh

Gets in my way
But ive got to stay)
Ive got to earn some money
I look around and everything is you
Buh - duh - buh - duh - buh

Buh - duh - buh - duh - buh - duh
The nights are cold, your memories keep me warm
Just the thought of you can keep me working on
Showed your picture to the guys in my gang...
Whilst sitting round an open fire
My memories grow warm and strong
I look around and everything is you
Buh - duh - buh - duh - buh
Buh - duh - buh - duh - buh

Baby, baby, brush the dust of youth from off your shoulder
Now the years of threading daisies lie behind you
Dont return to fields of green where rainbow secrets were told
Place your ragged doll with all the toys and paints and beads
I will show you games where the winner never wins
Let your hair hang down
Wear the dress your mother wore
Let me sleep beside you
Lock away your childhood and throw away the key
For now the streets and city sounds will burn your eyes as coals
We shall drink the oldest wine and velvet skies will linger
Child, youre a woman now, your heart and soul are free
I will hold a lighted lamp and we shall walk together
Let your hair hang down
Wear the dress your mother wore
Let me sleep beside you
Your darkened eyes throw mystery
But your lips are void of history
You could not imagine
That it could happen this way, could you?
I will show you games where the winner never wins
Let your hair hang down
Wear the dress your mother wore
Let me sleep beside you |
You
You
You
You
You
You
All our friends
Now seem so thin and frail
Slinky secrets
Hotter than the sun
No peachy fréres
No trendy réchauffé
Im with you
So I cant go on
All my violence raining tears upon the sheets
Im bewildered, for were strangers when we meet
Blank screen TV
Preening ourselves in the snow
Forget my name
But Im over you
Blended sunrise
And its a dying world
Humming Rheingold
We scavenge up our clothes
All my violence raining tears upon the sheets
Im resentful, for were strangers when we meet
Cold tired fingers
Tapping out your memories
Halfway sadness
Dazzled by the new
Your embrace
It was all that I feared
That whirling room
We trade by vendu
Steely resolve is falling from me
My poor soul, poor bruised passivity
All your regrets ride rough-shod over me
Im so glad that were strangers when we meet
Im so thankful, that were strangers when we meet
Im in clover, for were strangers when we meet
Heel head over, when were strangers when we meet
Strangers when we meet
Strangers when we meet
Strangers when we meet
Strangers when we meet
Strangers when we meet
Strangers when we meet
Strangers when we meet |

I just love fashion

They do it over there but we dont do it here

Now get out and shop! |
Gather you all and listen here
Ill tell you a tale if you lend me an ear
I rode a horse through many a town
But the devil rode me down to the ground
I was to marry a very rich girl
I loved her as only I can
But the father was shot and his gold was stoled
And now Im the devils man, na na na
And now I sing a tail of woe
Through the bars of the county jail
I walked into the room one night
I found her mother and gun
Well the man was dead and I kneeled and cried
The sheriff ran in and said Im holding you, son
Through the day I sing and play
For time is on my side
But when the moon and stars come out
I lay me down and cry
For the Saviour mar I lied
Now I will not have a ride
Beside the window the scaffold was made |
Drifting into my solitude
Over my head
Dont you wonder sometimes
Bout sound and vision
Aah-aahh...
Blue, blue, electric blue
Thats the colour of my room
Where i will live
Blue-ooh
Pale blinds drawn all day
Nothing to read
Nothing to say
Blue-ooh
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
Dont you wonder sometimes
Bout sound and vision
Aah-aahh...
Blue, blue, electric blue
Thats the colour of my room
Where i will live
Blue-ooh
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 |

Pressure pushing down on me
Pressing down on you, no man ask for
Under pressure that burns a building down
Splits a family in two
Puts people on streets
Its the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming, Let me out!
Tomorrow gets me higher
Pressure on people - people on streets
Chippin around, kick my brains round the floor
These are the days - it never rains but it pours
People on streets - people on streets
Its the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming, Let me out!
Tomorrow gets me higher, higher, higher...
Pressure on people - people on streets
Turned away from it all like a blind man
Sat on a fence but it dont work
Keep coming up with love but its so slashed and torn
Why, why, why?
Love
Insanity laughs under pressure were cracking
Cant we give ourselves one more chance?
Why cant we give love that one more chance?
Why cant we give love, give love, give love, give love, give love, give love, give love, give love?
Cause 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
This is ourselves
Under pressure
Under pressure
Pressure |

Do you remember a guy thats been in such an early song
Ive heard a rumour from Ground Control
Oh no, dont say its true
They got a message from the Action Man
Im happy, hope youre happy too
Ive loved all Ive needed to love
Sordid details following
The shrieking of nothing is killing
Just pictures of Jap girls In sin city and
I aint got no money and aint got no hair
But Im hoping to kick but the planet its 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
Ill stay clean tonight
But the little green wheels are following me
Oh no, not again
Im stuck with a valuable friend
Im happy, hope youre happy too
One flash of light, but no smoking pistol
I never done good things
I never done bad things
I never did anything out of the blue
Want an axe to break the ice
Wanna come down right now
Ashes to ashes, fun to funky
We know Major Toms a junkie
Strung out in heavens high
Hitting an all-time low
My mother said
To get things done
Youd better not mess
With Major Tom
My mother said
To get things done
Youd better not mess
With Major Tom
My mother said
To get things done
Youd better not mess
With Major Tom
My mother said
To get things done
Youd better not mess
With Major Tom |
Well the day begins
You dont want to live
Cause you cant believe
In the one youre with
Cause you know her tricks
And you know her past
When she makes a face
You just have to laugh
And you feel like such a know-it-all
When you only want just a tiny girl
And you hope shell sing
So you turn around
Toward the tiny girls
Who have got no tricks
Who have got no past
Yea thats what you think
And you hope shell sing
But she sings of greed
Like a young banshee
And she wants for this
And she wants for that
What did you think |
Well, Im glad Ive got nobody
Yes, Im glad Ive got nobody
Oh, Im glad Ive got nobody
To be loved by me
All the world couldnt take your place
Another girl another face
Wouldnt be the type of thing
Know Ive found it out and see
Another girl standing next to me
Oh no, just you
Oh no, just you
Well, I couldnt find another you
Everywhere I go I see your name
I couldnt find another you
Everywhere I go its just the same
And Im glad Ive got nobody
Oh, Im glad Ive got nobody
Yes Im glad Ive got nobody
Well, Im glad Ive got nobody
Oh, Im glad Ive got nobody
And Im glad Ive got nobody
To be loved by me
All the world couldnt take your place
Another girl another face
Wouldnt be the type of thing
Know Ive found it out and see
Another girl standing next to me
Oh no, just you
Oh no, just you
Well I couldnt find another you
Everywhere I go I see your name
Well I couldnt find another you
Everywhere I go its just the same
And Im glad Ive got nobody
Yes, Im glad Ive got nobody |
All of you
Id just written this one the first time I played Glastonbury in 1971
I still dont know what I was waiting for
Time was running wild
A million dead end streets
Every time I thought Id got it made
It seemed the taste was not so sweet
Then I turned myself to face me
But I never caught a glimpse
Of how the others must see this faker
Im much too fast to take that test
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Woohoo. changes
Do you wanna have to be a better man
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
Woohoo, changes
I just wanted to be a better man
Time may change me
But I cant trace time
Hey
Yeah
Oh, yeah
Ripples change their size
Never leave the stream
Of warm impermanence and
So the days float through my eyes
Still the days seem just the same
And these children that they spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Theyre 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
Woohoo changes
Looks like youve left them up to their necks in it
Time may change me
I cant trace time
Strange fascination, fascinate me, oh
Changes are taking the pace Im going to
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
Ch-ch-changes
Look out all you rock n rollers
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Ch-ch-changes
Pretty soon now youre gonna get older
Time may change me
I cant trace time
I said that time may change me
I cant trace time
Hehehe
Ooh |
The blazing sunset in your eyes will tantalize
Every man who looks your way
I watch them sink before your gaze
Senorita sway
Dance with me before their frozen eyes
Im so much in love
Like a little soldier catching butterflies
No man loved like I love you
Wouldnt you like to love me too
In the heat of the morning
In the shadow Ill clip your wings
And Ill tell you I love you
In the heat of the morning
Ill tie a knot in rainbows end, organise the breeze
Light my candle from the sun
Ill give you daylight for a friend
Ill do all of these
Ill prove that it can be done, Im so much in love
Like the ragged boy who races with the wind
No man loved like I love you
Wouldnt you like to love me too
In the heat of the morning
In the shadow Ill clip your wings
And Ill tell you I love you
In the heat of the morning
In the heat of the morning
In the shadow Ill clip your wings
And Ill tell you I love you
In the heat of the morning
Oh yeah, all day, all the way
Ooh |
Well, Johnny is a man
And hes bigger than you
But his overheads are high
And he looks straight through you w
When you ask him how the kids are
Hell get home around seven
Cause the Chevy’s real old
And he could have had a Cadillac
If the school had taught him right
And he could have married Anne with the blue silk blouse
He could have married Anne with the blue silk blouse
And the food is on the table
But the food is cold
Cant you even cook?
Whats the good of me working when you cant damn cook?
Well, Johnny is a man and hes bigger than her
I guess the bruises wont show
If she wears long sleeves
But the space in her eyes shows through
And he could have married Anne with the blue silk blouse
Couldve married Anne with the blue silk blouse
Couldve married Anne with the blue silk blouse
Couldve married Anne with the blue silk blouse
It shows through
It shows through
It shows through
Couldve married Anne with the blue silk blouse
Couldve married Anne with the blue silk blouse
Couldve married Anne with the blue silk blouse
That shows through |
Lets dance
Lets dance
Lets dance
Put on your red shoes and dance the blues
Lets dance
To the song theyre playing on the radio
Lets sway
While colour lights up your face
Lets sway
Sway through the crowd to an empty space
If you say run, Ill run with you
If you say hide, well hide
Because my love for you
Would tear my heart in two
If you should fall into my arms
And tremble like a flower
Lets dance
Lets dance
Lets dance
For fear your grace should fall
Lets dance
For fear tonight is all
If you say run, Ill run with you
If you say hide, well hide
Because my love for you
Would tear my heart in two
If you should fall into my arms
And tremble like a flower
Lets dance
If you look into my eyes
Lets dance

Fear your grace should fall
Lets dance
For fear tonight is all, is all, is all, is all
Lets dance
Yeah, really
Thats, thats it, thats it
Got it, ha, got it |
I took this walk to ease my mind
To find out whats gnawing at me
Wouldnt think
To look at me
That Ive spent a lot of time in education
It all seems so long ago
Im a thinker
Not a talker
Ive no-one to talk to anyway
I cant see the road
For the rain in my eyes
Ahh-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah
I live above the grocers store
Owned by an Austrian
He often calls me down
To eat
And he jokes about his broken English
Tries to be a friend to me
But for all my years of reading conversation
I stand without a word to say
I cant see the bridge
For the rain in my eyes
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah
And the world is full of life
Full of folk who dont know me
And they walk in twos or threes
Or more
While the lamp that shines above the grocers store
Investigates my face
So rudely
And my essays lying scattered on the floor
Fulfill their needs just by being there
And my hands shake
My head hurts
My voice sticks
Inside my throat
Im invisible and dumb
And no-one will recall me
And I cant see the water
For the tears in my eyes |
I 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 seems the taste was not so sweet
So i turned my self 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-changes, turn and face the strange
Ch-ch-ch-changes, you wanna be a richer man
Ch-ch-ch-changes, turn and face the strange
Its gonna be a different man
Time may change me -- but i cant trace time
I watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream
Of warm impermanence
And so the days flow thru my eyes
But the days still seem the same
And this children you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
Theyre quite aware of what theyre going thru
Ch-ch-ch-changes, turn and face the strange
Ch-ch-ch-changes, dont tell them to grow up and out of it
Ch-ch-ch-changes, turn and face the strange
Ch-ch-ch-changes, theres your shame
Youve left us up yo our neck in it
Time may change me, but you cant trace time
Strange fascination fascinating me
Oh changes are taking the place Im going thru
Ch-ch-ch-changes, turn and face the strange
Ch-ch-ch-changes, Oh look out you Rock n rollers
Ch-ch-ch-changes, turn and face the strange
Ch-ch-ch-changes, pretty soon now youre gonna get a little older
Time may change me, But i cant trace time |
Pressure pushing down on me
Pressing down on you, no man ask for
Under pressure that burns 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 the world is about
Watching some good friends screaming, Let me out!
Pray tomorrow gets me higher
Pressure on people, people on streets
Da-day-de
Da-da-ba-ba
Okay
Chipping around, kick my brains around the floor
These are the days it never rains but it pours
Dee-da-ba-ba
Ee-dee-da-ba-ba
Dee-do-da
Ba-da
People on streets
Da-da-dee-da-de
Pеople on streets
Da-da-dee-da-dee-da-dee-da
Its the terror of knowing what thе world is about
Watching some good friends screaming, Let me out
Pray tomorrow gets me higher, higher, the higher
Turned away from it all like a blind man
I sat on a fence but it dont work
Keep coming up with love but its so slashed and torn
Why, why, why, why?
Oh love, love, love, love, love, love, love
Insanity laughs under pressure, we break
Why cant we give ourselves one more chance?
Why cant we give love that one more chance?
Why cant we give love, give love, give love, give love
Give love, give love, give love, give love?
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 ways of
Caring about ourselves
This is our last dance
This is our last dance
This is ourselves
Under pressure
Under pressure
Pressure
Under pressure
Pressure |
I, I would be king
And you, you would be my queen
Though nothing, will keep us together
We can beat them, forever and ever
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 the fact
Ooh yes were lovers, and that is that
For nothing will keep us together
We could steal time just for one day
We can be heroes just for one day
What dyou say?
Well I, I wish you could swim
Like the dolphins, like the dolphins can swim
Though nothing will drive them away
We can beat them just for one day
We can be heroes forever and forever
What dyou say?
I, I will be king
And you, you will be queen
Though nothing can keep us together
We can be there forever and ever
We can be heroes just for one day
For one day
Though nothing will drive them away
We can beat them just for one day
We can be heroes forever and forever
What dyou say?
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 just for one day
We can be heroes just for one day
We can be heroes
And nothing will help us
Maybe were lying, then you better not stay
Oh we could be heroes, just for one day
Oh-oh-oh-ohh, oh-oh-oh-ohh, just for one day
Oh-oh-oh-ohh, just for one day |
Part I: Sweet Thing
Its safe in the city to love in a doorway
To strangle some screams from the dawn
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 then
For 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, and
Part II: Candidate
Ill make you a deal like any other candidate
We pretend were walking home for your futures sake
My set is amazing, it even smells like the street
There is a bar at the end where I could meet you and your friend
Someone scrawled on the wall I smell the blood of les tricoteuses
Who wrote up scandals in other bars
Theyre having so much fun with the poisonous people
Spreading rumors and lies and stories they made up
Some make you sing and some make you scream
One makes you wish that you never been seen
But theres a shop on the corner selling papier mache
Making bullet-proof faces Charles Manson, Cassius Clay
If you want it, boys get it here then
So you scream out of line
Anyone out there? Anytime?
Tres bunch little number whines Hey girlie, I want you
When its good its really good and when its bad I go to pieces
If you want it, boys, get it here then
On the street where you live I could not hold up my head
For I put all I have in another bed
On another floor, in the back of a car
In the cellar of a church with the door ajar
Well, I guess we must be looking for a different kind
But we cant stop trying til we break up our minds
Til the sun drips blood on the seedy young knights
Who press on the ground while shaking in fright
I guess we could cruise down one more time
With you by my side, it should be fine
Well buy some drugs and watch a band
Then jump into a river holding hands
Part III: Sweet 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 |
Oh, little China girl
Oh, little China girl
I couldnt escape this feeling with my China girl
I feel a wreck without my little China girl
I hear her heart beating loud as thunder
Saw these stars crashing
Im a mess without my little China girl
Wake up in the morning, wheres my little China girl
I hear her hearts beating loud as thunder
Saw these stars crashing down
Im feeling tragic like Im Marlon Brando
When I look at my China girl
I could pretend that nothing really meant too much
When I look at my China girl
I stumble into town just like a sacred cow
Visions of swastikas in my head
Plans for everyone
Its in the white of my eyes
My little China girl
You shouldnt mess with me
Ill ruin everything you are
You know
Ill give you television
Ill give you eyes of blue
Ill give you a man who wants to rule the world
And when I get excited
My little China girl says
Oh, baby, just you shut your mouth
She says sh
She says sh
She says
She says
Oh, little China girl
Oh, little China girl |
New Angels of Promise
We despair

Oh my love, Janine
Im helpless for your smile
Like a Polish wanderer
I travel ever onwards to your land
And were it not just for the jewels, Id close your hand
Your strange demand
To collocate my mind
Scares me into gloom
Youre too intense
Ill have to keep you in your place
Ive no defence
Ive got to keep my veil on my face
Janine, Janine, youd like to know me well
But Ive got things inside my head
That even I cant face
Janine, Janine, youd like to crush the walls
But if you take an axe to me
Youll kill another man
Not me at all
Youre fey, Janine
A trouper to the last
But if I catch you standing on my toes
Ill have a right to shout you down
For youre a lazy stream
In which my thoughts would drown
So stay, Janine
And we can glide along
Ive caught your wings for laughs
Im not obliged to read you statements of the year
So take your glasses off
And dont act so sincere
Janine, Janine, youd like to know me well
But Ive got things inside my head
That even I cant face
Janine, Janine, youd like to crush the walls
But if you take an axe to me
Youll kill another man
Not me at all |
As they pulled you out of the oxygen tent
You asked for the latest party
With your silicone hump and your ten inchy stump
Dressed like a priest you was
Todd Browning beast you was
Crawling down the alley on your hands and knees
Im sure youre not protected
For its plain to see
The Diamond Dogs are poachers and they hide behind trees
Hunt you to the ground they will
Mannequins with kill-appeal
Will they come?
I keep a friend serene
Will they come?
Oh, baby, come unto me
Will they come?
Well, shes come, been, and gone
Come out of the garden, baby
Youll catch a death in the fog
Young girl they call them the Diamond Dogs
Young girl they call them the Diamond Dogs
Now halloween jack is a real cool cat
And he lives on top of Manhattan Chase
The elevators broke so he slides down a rope
Onto the street below
Oh tarzie go man, go
Meets his little hussy with his ghost-town approach
Her face is sans feature but she wears a Dali brooch
Sweetly reminiscent something mother used to bake
Wrecked up and paralyzed
Diamond Dogs are sable-ized
Will they come?
I keep a friend serene
Will they come?
Oh, baby, come unto me
Will they come?
Well, shes come, been, and gone
In the year of the scavenger The season of the bitch
Sashay on the board-walk scurry to the ditch
Just another future song lonely little kitch
Theres gonna be sorrow try and wake up tomorrow
Will they come?
I keep a friend serene
Will they come?
Oh, baby, come unto me
Will they come?
Well, shes come, been, and gone |
Theres always the diamond friendly
Sitting in the Laugh Motel
The hearts filthy lesson
With her hundred miles to hell
Oh, Ramona - if there was only something between us
If there was only something between us
Other than our clothes
Something in our skies
Something in our skies
Something in our blood
Something in our skies
Paddy
Paddy
Whos been wearing Mirandas clothes?
Its the hearts filthy lesson
Hearts filthy lesson
Hearts filthy lesson
Falls upon deaf ears
Its the hearts filthy lesson
Hearts filthy lesson
Hearts filthy lesson
Falls upon deaf ears
Falls upon dead ears
Oh Ramona, if there was only some kind of future
Oh Ramona, if there was only some kind of future
And these cerulean skies
Something in our skies
Something in our skies
Something in our blood
Something in our skies
Paddy, Paddy?
Paddy will you carry me, I think Ive lost my way
Im already five years older, Im already in my grave
Im already
Im already
Im already
Will you carry me?
Oh Paddy, I think Ive lost my way
Paddy, what a fantastic death abyss
Paddy, what a fantastic death abyss
Its the Hearts Filthy Lesson
Paddy, tell the others
Its the Hearts Filthy Lesson
Paddy, what a fantastic death abyss
Tell the others
Its the Hearts Filthy Lesson
Paddy, what a fantastic death abyss
Its the Hearts Filthy Lesson
Tell the others |

Presionándote
Aplastándote sin preguntar
Presionando ...
Nos quieren confundir
Nos pueden dividir
Mas nunca callar
Con el miedo de estar viviendo en boca de Dios
Nunca he sabido si me escucha o no
¿Dónde estamos?
¿Dónde vamos?
A poner presion... Presionando!!
Es tiempo de amar
Date una oportunidad
No se si este bien
Seguro no esta mal
Gente pasar
Sin preguntar
Es el miedo de estar viviendo en boca de Dios
Nunca he sabido si me escucha o no
¿Dónde estamos?
¿Dónde vamos?
A poner presion... Presionando!!
Caminar por la luz como un ciego
Nunca mirar hacia arriba
Que el cielo nos perdone por dejar de creer
Y no hay que callarnos, es tiempo de amarnos...
Hay que dar amor, un poco de amor
Y es que hay que dar amor, y ahogar el dolor
Y es que hay que dar amor
Dar amor, dar amor, dar amor, dar amor, dar amor, dar amor
Porque no aprendemos a amarnos
Tocarnos
Decirnos que todo es temporal
Y aprender a entendernos
Y a darnos cuenta
Que lo que somos es gente pasando
Gente pasando, somos tú y yo
Presionando...

Rocknroll, rock, rocknroll
Rocknroll, rock, rocknroll
Do you still recall in the juke box hall when the music played
And the world span around to a brand new sound of those far off days
In their blue suede shoes they would scream and shout
And theyd sing the blues, let it all hang out
Rocknroll - HEY! - rocknroll
A rocknroll - HEY! - rocknroll
Rocknroll - HEY! - rocknroll
Rocknroll, rock, rocknroll
A rocknroll, rock
Took the Queen of bop to the high school hop, dancing to the beat
With a U.S. male and her pony tail, well she looked so sweet
Times are changing fast but we wont forget, though that age is past, well be rockin yet
Rocknroll - HEY! - rocknroll
A rocknroll - HEY! - rocknroll
Rocknroll - HEY! - rocknroll
Rocknroll, rock, rocknroll

Night clubbing, were night clubbing
Were whats happening
Night clubbing, were night clubbing
Were on this machine
We meet people, brand new people
Theyre something to see when youre
Night clubbing, were night clubbing
Oh, well soon make love
Night clubbing, were night clubbing
Were walking through town
Night clubbing, were night clubbing
We rock like a ghost
We learn dances, brand new dances
Like the nuclear bomb, when were
Night clubbing, bright, white clubbing
Oh, well soon make love |
Dont let me hear you say lifes
Taking you nowhere, angel
Look at that sky, lifes begun
Nights are warm and the days are young
Theres my baby, lost thats all
Once Im begging you save her little soul
Last night they loved you
Opening doors and pulling some strings, angel
In walked luck and you looked in time
Never look back, walk tall, act fine
Ill stick with you baby for a thousand years
Nothings gonna touch you in these golden years, gold
Some of these days, and it wont be long
Gonna 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 you gotta get smart
Wish upon wish upon day upon day, I believe, oh, Lord
I believe all the way
Run for the shadows, run for the shadows
Run for the shadows in these golden years
Theres my baby, lost thats all
Once Im begging you save her little soul
Dont let me hear you say lifes taking you nowhere, angel
Run for the shadows, run for the shadows
Run for the shadows in these golden years
Ill stick with you, baby, for a thousand years
Nothings gonna touch you in these golden years, gold |
The return of the Thin White Duke
Throwing darts in lovers eyes
Here are we, one magical moment
Such is the stuff, from where dreams are woven
Bending sound, dredging the ocean
Lost in my circle
Here am I, flashing no color
Tall in this room overlooking the ocean
Here are we, one magical movement
From Kether to Malkuth
There are, you drive like a demon
From station to station
The return of the Thin White Duke
Throwing darts in lovers’ eyes
The return of the Thin White Duke
Throwing darts in lovers eyes
The return of the Thin White Duke
Making sure white stains
Once there were mountains on mountains
And once there were sun birds to soar with
And once I could never be down
Got to keep searching and searching
And oh, what will I be believing
And who will connect me with love?
Wonder who, wonder who, wonder when
Have you sought fortune, evasive and shy?
Drink to the men who protect you and I
Drink, drink, drain your glass, raise your glass high
Its not the side-effects of the cocaine
I’m thinking that it must be love
Its too late to be grateful
Its too late to be late again
Its too late to be hateful
The European canon is near
I must be only one in a million
I wont let the day pass without her
Its too late to be grateful
Its too late to be late again
Its too late to be hateful
The European canon is here
Should I believe that I’ve been stricken?
Does my face show some kind of glow?
It’s too late to be grateful
Its too late to be late again
It’s too late to be hateful
The European canon is here, yes its here
Its too late, Its too late
It’s too late, Its too late
Its too late, the European canon is near
Its not the side-effects of the cocaine
Im thinking that it must be love
Its too late to be grateful
Its too late to be late again
Its too late to be hateful
The European canon is here
I must be only one in a million
I wont let the day pass without her
Its too late to be grateful
Its too late to be late again
Its too late to be hateful
The European canon is here, yes its here
Should I believe that Ive been stricken?
Does my face show some kind of glow?
Its too late to be grateful
Its too late to be late again
Its too late to be hateful
The European canon is here, yes its here
Its too late, Its too late
Its too late, Its too late
Its too late, the European canon is here |
Turn, and turn again
Turn, and turn again
I shake
And stare the sun
Till my eyes burn
I shake
At the mothers
Brutal vermin
I shake
And stare
At the watery moon
With the same desire
As the sober philistine
Turn and turn again
Worm, the pain and blade
Turn and turn again
The screw
Is a tightening atrocity
I shake
For the reeking flesh
Is as romantic as hell
The need
To have seen it all
The voyeur
Of utter destruction
As beauty
I shake
Turn and turn again
I shake
Turn and turn again
I shake
I shake
I shake

Im closer to the Golden Dawn
I cant believe the wagons gone
Its history
Im living in a callous realm
Where others seem to dig it
Just too much reality
Im frightened by the total goal
Im drawing to the ragged hole
And I aint got the wagon anymore
No, I aint got the wagon anymore
Im the twisted name on Umas eyes
Im living proof of Cindys lies
Of destiny
Im drawing between the light and dark
Where others see their targets
I cant see anything
Should I leave the engine on
To listen to that mountain song
Sinking in the quicksand of my thoughts
And I aint got the wagon anymore
Dont believe in yourself
Dont deceive with belief
The knowledge comes with deaths release
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Not too stable
Hanging by a string
Cant face the thoughts
No wheels will bring
I gotta go
Its bad enough being at home
Without a way to leave the damage
Is gonna show
If I dont explain
What you oughta know
You can tell me all about it
At the next ball show
Im sinking in the quicksand of my thoughts
And I aint got the power anymore
Dont believe in yourself
Dont deceive with belief
The knowledge comes with deaths release
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Dont believe in yourself
Dont deceive with belief
The knowledge comes with deaths release
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Dont believe in yourself
Dont deceive with belief
The knowledge comes with deaths release
Oh, oh, oh, oh |
Eddie boy lit like paraffin
Spending two weeks
In a crack house
Burns on his brain
Like Chernobyl
Dean was seen
With a two bag purchase
He was lying dead on his mothers bed
Someone for pray for
Til I met you
Life is like a broken arrow
Memory a swinging door
I could be your great misfortune
I can make you happy
Every day of your life
Making my love
Like a shining star
Taking my love
Just a touch too far
Tessie turns tricks with a soul like ice
Because love left holes
And four swell kids breaking her heart
Ive got windows, Ive seen much vice
Ive touched down with vermin
Cowardice, lice
And I say
Nobody cares what you do
Please be yourself to death
I could be your great misfortune
But youll never find a, bet youll never find a better man
Making my love
Like a shining star
Taking my love
Just a touch too far
Peter met Frank
Formed a dummy run gang
Worked heist or hit for 10 gs flat
Blew heads out of shape for the name of Trotsky, Sinn-Fein, Hitler cashdown
No hope heroes cover this page
With debts in hell
And fingers in blood
Poor little bodies all covered in scabs
Threw it all away
Another life in the grave
Life is like a broken arrow
Memory a swinging door
I could be your great misfortune
Well, I could make you happy
Every single day of your life
Making my love
Like a shining star
Like a shining star
If thats what you are
Like a shining star
Making my love
Like a shining star
Taking my love
Just a touch too far
Making my love
Like a shining star
Taking my love
Just a touch too far
Making my love
Like a shining star
Taking my love
Just a touch too far
Making my love
Like a shining star
Taking my love
Just a touch too far
Making my love
Like a shining star
Taking my love
Just a touch too far |
This song is not like any of the ones so far
This one is called Ashes to Ashes
Do you remember a guy thats been in
In such an early song
Ive heard a rumour from Ground Control
Oh no, dont say its true
They got a message from the Action Man
Im happy, hope youre happy too
Ive loved all Ive needed to love
Sordid details following
The nothing is killing
Just pictures of Jap girls in synthesis
Aint got no money, aint got no hair
But I hope to kick but the planet its 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
Ill stay clean tonight
But the little green wheels keep following me
Oh no, not again
Im stuck with a valuable friend
Im happy, hope youre happy too
One flash of light, but no smoking pistol
I never did good things
I never did bad things
I never did anything out of the blue, no
I want an axe to break the ice
Wanna come down right now
Ashes to ashes, fun to funky
We know Major Toms a junkie
Strung out in heavens high
Hitting an all-time low
My mother said to get things done
Youd better not mess with Major Tom
My mother said to get things done
Youd better not mess with Major Tom
My mother said to get things done
Youd better not mess with Major Tom
My mother said to get things done
Youd better not mess with Major Tom
Oh wonderful little drummer |
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, but still you forget
Oh oh, youre a rock ’n roll suicide
Youre too young to lose it, but you’re too old to lose it
And the clock waits so patiently on your song
When you you walk past the cafe, you cant 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 sunlight blast your shadow
Dont let the milk float bind your mind
You’re so natural, religiously unkind
Oh no love, you’re not alone
Youre watching yourself but you’re 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
I’ve had my share, now Ill help you with the pain
Youre not alone!
Just turn on with me and youre not alone
Just turn on with me and youre not alone
Just gimme your hands cause youre wonderful
I said gimme your hands cause youre wonderful
Gimme your hands cause your wonderful
Gimme your hands cause your wonderful
Gimme your hand
Gimme your hands
Cause youre wonderful, gimme your hands
Gimme your hand baby
Thank you very much, we love you |
Ive never sailed on a sea
I would not challenge a giant
I could not take on the church
Time will crawl
Til the 21st century lose
I know a government man
He was as blind as the moon, and he—
He saw the sun in the night
He took a top-gun pilot and he—
He made him fly through a hole
Til he grew real old, and he—
And he never came down
He just flew till he burst
Time will crawl
Til our mouths run dry
Time will crawl
Til our feet grow small
Time will crawl
Til our tails fall off
Time will crawl
Til the 21st century lose
I saw a black, black stream
Full of white eyed fish
And a drowning man
With no eyes at all
I felt a warm, warm breeze
That melted metal and steel
I got a bad migraine
That lasted three long years
And the pills that I took
Made my fingers disappear
Time will crawl
Time will crawl
Time will crawl
Til the 21st century lose
Time will crawl
Time will crawl
You were a talented child
You came to live in our town
We never bothered to scream
When your mask went off
We only smelt the gas
As we lay down to sleep
Time
Time will crawl
And our heads bowed down
Time will crawl
And our eyes fall out
Time will crawl
And the streets run red
Time will crawl
Til the 21st century lose
Time will crawl
And our mouths run dry
Time will crawl
And our feet grow small
Time will crawl
And our tails fall off
Time will crawl
Til the 21st century lose
Time will crawl
And our heads bowed down
Time will crawl
And our eyes fall out
Time will crawl
And the streets run red
Time will crawl
Til the 21st century lose
Time will crawl
For the crazy child
Time will crawl
Well give every life
Time will crawl
For the crackpot notion
Til the 21st century lose
Time will crawl
La la la la la la la
Time will crawl
La la la la la la
Time will crawl
Til the 21st century lose
Time will crawl
Time will crawl |
Hey man, oh leave me alone you know
Hey man, oh Henry, get off the phone, I gotta
Hey man, I gotta straighten my face
This mellow thighed chick just put my spine out of place
Hey man, my schooldays insane

Peter said to the bird: Fly down and circle over the wolfs head. Only take care that he doesnt catch you.
The bird almost touched the wolfs head with his wings while the wolf snapped angrily at him, this side and that
How that bird teased the wolf! And how the wolf wanted to catch him! But the bird was clever, and the wolf simply couldnt do anything about it |
Pushing through the market square
So many mothers sighing
News had just come over
We had five years left to cry in
News guy wept and told us
Earth was really dying
Cried so much, his face was wet
Then I knew he was not lying
I heard telephones, opera house, favourite melodies
Saw boys and toys, electric irons, 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
And all the nobody people
And all the somebody people
I never thought Id need so many people
A girl my age went off her head
Hit some tiny children
If the black hadnt a-pulled her off
I think she would have killed them
I saw 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
I think I saw you in an ice cream parlour
Drinking milkshakes cold and long
Smiling and waving and looking so fine
Dont think you knew you were in this song
And it was cold, and it rained
So 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, youre beautiful, I want you to walk
We got five years, stuck on my eyes
We got five years, what a surprise
We got five years, my brain hurts a lot
We got five years, thats all weve got |
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
As she walks through her sunken dream
To the seat with the clearest view
And she’s hooked to the silver screen
But the film is a saddening bore
Cause shes lived it ten times or more
And it’s 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
Hes in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars?
Its on Americas tortured brow
That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
And the workers have struck for fame
Because Lennons on sale again
See the mice in their million hordes
From Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads
Now 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
As I ask you to focus on
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man! Look at those cavemen go
It’s the freakiest show
Take a look at the lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh man! Wonder if he’ll ever know
Hes in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars? |

We passed upon the stair
We spoke of was and when
Although I was not there
He said I was his friend
Which came as some surprise
I spoke into his eyes, Mustve died alone
A long long time ago
Oh no, not me
I never lost control
Youre 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
We must have died alone
A long long time ago
Who knows? Not me
We never lost control
Youre face to face
With the man who sold the world
Who knows? Not me
We never lost control
Youre face to face
With the man who sold the world
Oh no, not me
I never lost control
Youre face to face
With the man who sold
The world |
This is Under Pressure
Mmm da de
Dum bum ba be
Duh doom duh duh do ba
Pressure pushing down on me
Pressing down on you, no man ask for
Under pressure that burns a building down
Splits a family in two
Puts people on streets
Um ba ba be
Um ba ba be
Ee day da
De day da
Thats okay!
It’s the terror of knowing what this world is about
Watching some good friends screaming, Let me out!
Pray tomorrow gets me higher
Pressure on people, people on streets
Day day day
De de de de day
Okay
Chippin around, kick my brains around the floor
These are the days, it never rains but it pours
Dee do da de
Dee da do da do
Dee do do
De dah
People on streets
Dee da dee da de
People on streets
Dee da dee dah dee dah dee dah
Its the terror of knowing what this world is about
Watching some good friends screaming, Let me out
Pray tomorrow... high, higher, ohh
Turned away from it all like a blind man
Sat on a fence but it don’t work
Keep comin up with love but its so slashed and torn
Why?
Ohh!
Insanity laughs, under pressure were breaking
Why cant we give ourselves one more chance?
Why cant we give love that one more chance?
Why cant we give love, give love, give love, give love
Give love, give love, give love, give love?
Cause love’s 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
This is ourselves under pressure
Under pressure
Pressure |
As they pulled you out of the oxygen tent
You asked for the latest party
With your silicone hump and your ten inch stump
Dressed like a priest you was
Tod Brownings Freak you was
Crawling down the alley on your hands and knee
Im sure youre not protected, for its plain to see
The Diamond Dogs are poachers and they hide behind trees
Hunt you to the ground they will, mannequins with kill appeal
Ill keep a friend serene
Oh baby, come on to me
Well, shes come, been and gone
Come out of the garden, baby
Youll catch your death in the fog
Young girl, they call them the Diamond Dogs
Young girl, they call them the Diamond Dogs
The Halloween Jack is a real cool cat
And he lives on top of Manhattan Chase
The elevators broke, so he slides down a rope
Onto the street below, oh Tarzan, go man go
Meet his little hussy with his ghost town approach
Her face is sans feature, but she wears a Dali brooch
Sweetly reminiscent, something mother used to bake
Wrecked up and paralysed, Diamond Dogs are stabilised
Ill keep a friend serene
Oh baby, come on to me
Well, shes come, been and gone
Come out of the garden, baby
Youll catch your death in the fog
Young girl, they call them the Diamond Dogs
Young girl, they call them the Diamond Dogs
Call them the diamond dogs
Call them the diamond dogs
In the year of the scavenger, the season of the bitch
Sashay on the boardwalk, scurry to the ditch
Just another future song, lonely little kitsch
try and wake up tomorrow
Ill keep a friend serene
Oh baby, come on to me
Well, shes come, been and gone
Come out of the garden, baby
Youll catch your death in the fog
Young girl, they call them the Diamond Dogs
Young girl, they call them the Diamond Dog
Oo-oo-ooh, call them the Diamond Dogs
Oo-oo-ooh, call them the Diamond Dogs
Bow-wow, woof woof, bow-wow, wow
Call them the Diamond Dogs
Dogs
Call them the Diamond Dogs, call them, call them
Call them the Diamond Dogs, call them, call them, ooo
Call them the Diamond Dogs
Keep cool
Diamond Dogs rule, OK
Hey-hey-hey-hey
Beware of the Diamond Dogs
Beware of the Diamond Dogs |
I took this walk to ease my mind
To find out whats gnawing at me
And wouldnt think to look at me
That Ive spent a lot of time in education
All seems so long ago
Im a thinker, not a talker
Ive no-one to talk to, anyway
I cant see the road
For the rain in my eyes
I live above the grocers store
Owned by an Austrian
He often calls me down to eat
And he jokes about his broken English
Tries to be a friend to me
But for all my years of reading conversation
I stand without a word to say
I cant see the bridge
For the rain in my eyes
And the world is full of life
Full of folk who dont know me
And they walk in twos or threes or more
While the light that shines above the grocers store
Investigates my face so rudely
And my essays lying scattered on the floor
Fulfill their needs just by being there
And my hands shake, my head hurts
My voice sticks inside my throat
Im invisible and dumb and no one will recall me
And I cant see the water
Through the tears in my eyes |
Watching them come and go
The Templars and the Saracens
Theyre travelling in the holy land
Opening telegrams, whoa
Torture comes and torture goes
Knights whod give you anything
They bear the cross of Coeur de Leon
Salvation for the mirror blind, whoa
But if you pray, all your sins are hooked upon the sky
Pray and the heathens lie will disappear
Prayers they hide the saddest view
Believing the strangest things, loving the alien
And your prayers they break the skies in two
Believing the strangest things, loving the alien
Thinking of a different time
Palestine a modern problem
Bounty and your wealth in land
Terror in a best laid plan, whoa
Watching them come and go
Tomorrows and the yesterdays
Christians and the unbelievers
Hanging by the cross and nail
But if you pray, all your sins are hooked upon the sky
Pray and the heathens lie will disappear
Prayers they hide the saddest view
Believing the strangest things, loving the alien
And your prayers they break the skies in two
Believing the strangest things, loving the alien
You pray till the break of dawn
Believing the strangest things, loving the alien
And youll believe youre loving the alien
Believing the strangest things, loving the alien |
Like to take a cement fix
Be a standing cinema
Dress my friends up just for show
Ill see them as they really are
Put a peephole in my brain
Two pence to have a go
Id like to be a gallery
Ill put you all inside my show
Andy Warhol looks a scream
Hes hanging on the wall
Andy Warhol, silver screen
I cant tell them apart at all
Andy walking, Andy tired
Andy take a little snooze
Dress him up when hes fast asleep
Ill send him on a pleasant cruise
When you wake up on the sea
Sure to think of me and you
Hell think about paint and hell think about glue
What a jolly boring thing to do
Andy Warhol looks a scream
Hes hanging on the wall
Andy Warhol, silver screen
Cant tell them apart at all
Andy Warhol looks a scream
Hes hanging on the wall
Andy Warhol, silver screen
Cant tell them apart at all |
Dah-dah-dah-dah da da da
Dah-dah-dah-dah, dah-dah-dah-dah
Dah-dah-dah-dah da da da
Dah-dah-dah-dah, dah-dah-dah-dah
People stared at the makeup on his face
Laughed at his long black hair
His animal grace
The boy in the bright blue jeans
Jumped up on the stage
And Lady Stardust sang his songs
Of darkness and disgrace
And he was alright
The band was all together
Yes he was alright
The song went on forever
And he was awful nice
Really quite out of sight
And he sang all night long
Femme Fatales emerged to watch this creature fair
Boys stood upon their chairs
To make their point of view
I smiled sadly for a love I could not obey
Lady Stardust sang his songs
Of darkness and dismay
And he was alright
The band was all together
Yes he was alright
The song went on forever
And he was awful nice
Really quite out of sight
He sang all night long
Oh, have I sighed
When they asked if I knew his name
Oh, he was alright
The band was altogether
Yes, he was alright
The song went on forever
Yes he was awful nice
Really quite paradise
He sang all night long
Yes, he did
Dah-dah-dah-dah, dah-dah-dah-dah
Oh la la la la la la
Dah-dah-dah-dah, dah-dah-dah-dah |
Everything will be alright tonight
Everything will be alright tonight
No one moves
No one talks
No one thinks
No one walks tonight
Tonight
Everyone will be alright tonight
Everyone will be alright tonight
No one moves
No one talks
No one thinks
No one walks tonight
Tonight
I am gonna love you till the end
I will love you till I reach the end
I will love you till I die
I will see you in the sky
Tonight |
Oh
Oh, yeah
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
He could lick em by smiling
He could leave em to hang
They came on so loaded, man
Well-hung and 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
Ziggy played for time
Jiving us that we were voodoo
The kids were just crass
He was the nazz
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, ah
Like a leper messiah
When the kids had killed the man
I had to break up the band
Oh, yeah
Ooh
Ziggy played guitar |
Tim Tebow to Jesus Christ
Tim Tebow to Jesus Christ
Can’t win by myself but with your help I might
Tim Tebow to Jesus Christ
Commencing 4th down hut hut hike
Snap the football and may God’s love be with me
This is Jesus Christ to Tim Tebow
Please leave me alone
Don’t you know my day of rest is Sunday
And I’m sick of watching all these Broncos Games
I hear that you play New England next week
Dude youre on your own
Brady is too good and I’ve got better things to do!
Though I’ve passed 316 yards there’s still two games to go
If I want to make it to the Super Bowl
And show everyone on Earth how to Tebow
Tim Tebow to Jesus Christ
The Broncos won we’re still alive
C’mon everyone Tebow
C’mon everyone Tebow
C’mon everyone Tebow
Cmon everyone Tebow |

Love me, love me, love me, love me, say you do
Let me fly away with you
For my love is like the wind
And wild is the wind
Wild is the wind
Give me more than one cares
Satisfy this hungriness
Let the wind blow through your hair
For wild is the wind, wild is the wind
You touch me
I hear the sound of mandolins
You kiss me
With your kiss my life begins
Oh, youre spring to me, all things to me
Dont you know youre life itself?
Like the leaf clings to the tree
Oh my darling cling to me, oh

Well shes a tongue twisting storm
Shell come to the show tonight
Praying to the light machines
She wants my honey not my money
Shes a funky-thigh collector
Laying on electric dreams
Come on, come on
Weve really got a good thing going
Come on, Come on
If you think were going to make it
You better hang on to yourself
Ooh, come on
We cant dance, we dont talk much
We just ball and play
But then we move like tigers on Vaseline
Well the bitter comes out better on a stolen guitar
Youre the Blessed

Spy, spy, pretty girl
I see you see me through your window
Dont turn your nose up
Well, you can if you need to
You wont be the first or last
It must strain you to look down
So far from your fathers house
And I know what a louse like me
In his house could do for you
Im the cream
Of the great Utopia dream
And youre the gleam
In the depths of your bankers spleen
Im a Phallus in pigtails
And theres blood on my nose
And my tissue is rotting
Where the rats chew my bones
And my eye sockets empty
See nothing but pain
I keep havin this brainstorm
About twelve times a day
So now, you could spend the morning walking with me
Quite amazed
As I am unwashed and somewhat slightly dazed
Ive got eyes in my backside
That see electric tomatoes
On credit card rye bread
There are children in washrooms
Holding hands with a Queen
And my heads full of murders
Where only killers scream
So now you could spend your morning talking with me
Quite amazed
Look out, Im raving mad and somewhat slightly dazed
Now you run from your window
To the porcelain bowl
And youre sick from your ears
To the red parquet floor
And the Braque on the wall
Slides down your front
And eats through your belly
Its very catching
So now, you should spend the morning, lying to your father
Quite amazed
About the strange unwashed and happily slightly dazed
Im not following
Yeah, yeah, baby, yeah
Yeah, yeah, baby, yeah
Yeah, yeah, baby, yeah
Yeah
Dont sit down
Dont sit down
Dont sit down |
I staggered through this criminal reign
Im not in love, no phony pain
Creeping through this tidal wave
No warm embrace, just a lovers grave
This symphony
This rage in me
Ive got a handful of songs to sing
To sting your soul
To fuck you over
This furious reign
Im falling, man
Im choking, man
Im fading, man
Im the broken line
Im falling, man
Im choking, man
Im fading, man
Just killing a little time
I love the sound of an empty room
The screams of night, the end of love
Two beating hearts, one labored start
One open wound, wasted and drawn
No sympathy
This furious reign
I lay in bed
The monster fed, the body bled
I turned and said
I get some of you all the time
All of you some other time
This rage in me
Get away from me
Im falling, man
Im choking, man
Im fading, man
Im the broken line
Im falling, man
Im choking, man
Im fading, man
Just killing a little time
This symphony
Get away from me |

Solemn faced
The village settles down
Undetected by the stars
The hangman plays the mandolin before he goes to sleep
And the last thing on his mind
Is the Wild Eyed Boy imprisoned
Beneath the covered wooden shaft
Folds the rope
Into its bag
Blows his pipe of smolders
Blankets smoke into the room
And the day will end for some
As the night begins for one
Staring through the message in his eyes
Lies a solitary son
From the mountain called Freecloud
Where the eagle dare not fly
And the patience in his sigh
Gives no indication
For the townsmen to decide
So the village Dreadful yawns
Pronouncing gross diversion
As the label for the dog
Oh Its the madness in his eyes
As he breaks the night to cry
Its really me
Really you
And really me
Its so hard for us to really be
Really you
And really me
Youll lose me though Im always
Really free
Billy rapped all night about his suicide
How hed kick it in the head when he was 25
Dont want to stay alive when youre 25
Wendys stealing clothes from unlocked cars
Freddys got spots from ripping off stars from his face honey

The television man is crazy
Saying were juvenile delinquent wrecks
But, man, I need a TV when Ive got T. Rex
Hey, brother, you guessed

Boogaloo dudes, yeah
Carry the news
All the young dudes, yeah
Carry the news
Boogaloo dudes, yeah
Carry the news
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

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, today
For here I am sitting in a tin can
Far above the world
Here I am sitting in a tin can
Far above the world
Though Im past one hundred thousand miles
Im feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Tell my girl I love her very much, she knows
Ground Control to Major Tom
Your circuits dead, theres something wrong
Can you hear me, Major Tom? x |
Fame, makes a man take things over
Fame, lets him loose, hard to swallow
Fame, puts you there where things are hollow
Fame
Fame, its not your brain, its just the flame
That burns your change to keep you in... sane
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
To bind your time, it drives you to... crime
Fame
Could it be the best, could it be?
Really be, really, babe?
Could it be, my babe, could it, babe?
Could it, babe? Could it, babe?
Is it any wonder I reject you first?
Fame, fame, fame, fame
Is it any wonder you are too cool to fool
Fame
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? |
I bless you madly
Sadly as I tie my shoes
I love you badly
Just in time, at times, I guess
Because of you, I need to rest
Because its you
That sets the test
So much has gone
And little is new
And as the sparrow sings
Dawn chorus for
Someone else to hear
The Thinker sits alone growing older
And so bitter
I gave Them life
I gave Them all
They drained my very soul
...dry
I crushed my heart
To ease Their pains
No thought for me remains there
Nothing can They spare
What of me?
Who praised Their efforts
To be free?
Words of strength and care
And sympathy
I opened doors
That would have blocked Their way
I braved Their cause to guide
For little pay
I ravaged at my finance just for Those
Those whose claims were steeped in peace, tranquility
Those who said a new world, new ways ever free
Those whose promises stretched in hope and grace for me
I bless you madly
Sadly as I tie my shoes
I love you badly
Just in time, at times, I guess
Because of you I need to rest
Because its you
That sets the test
So much has gone
And little is new
And as the sunrise stream
Flickers on me
My friends talk
Of glory, untold dream, where all is God and God is just a word
We had a friend, a talking man
Who spoke of many powers that he had
Not of the best of men, but Ours
We used him
We let him use his powers
We let him fill Our needs
Now We are strong
And the road is coming to its end
Now the damned have no time to make amends
No purse of token fortune stands in Our way
The silent guns of love
Will blast the sky
We broke the ruptured structure built of age
Our weapons were the tongues of crying rage
Where money stood
We planted seeds of rebirth
And stabbed the backs of fathers
Sons of dirt
Infiltrated business cesspools
Hating through Our sleeves
Yea, and We slit the Catholic throat
Stoned the poor
On slogans such as
Wish You Could Hear
Love Is All We Need
Kick Out The Jams
Kick Out Your Mother
Cut Up Your Friend
Screw Up Your Brother or Hell Get You In the End
And We Know the Flag of Love is from Above
And We Can Force You to Be Free
And We Can Force You to Believe
And I close my eyes and tighten up my brain
For I once read a book in which the lovers were slain
For they knew not the words of the Free States refrain
It said:
I believe in the Power of Good
I Believe in the State of Love
I Will Fight For the Right to be Right
I Will Kill for the Good of the Fight for the Right to be Right
And I open my eyes to look around
And I see a child laid slain
On the ground
As a love machine lumbers through desolation rows
Ploughing down man, woman, listening to its command
But not hearing anymore
Not hearing anymore
Just the shrieks from the old rich
And I Want to Believe
In the madness that calls Now
And I want to Believe
That a lights shining through
Somehow
And I Want to Believe
And You Want to Believe
And We Want to Believe
And We Want to Live
Oh, We Want to Live
We Want to Live
We Want to Live
We Want to Live
We Want to Live
I Want to Live
I Want to Live
I Want to Live
I Want to Live
I Want to Live
I Want to Live
Live

Live! |
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Put on your red shoes and dance the blues
To the song theyre playing on the radio
While colour lights up your face
Sway through the crowd to an empty space
If you say run, Ill run with you
And if you say hide, well hide
Because my love for you
Would break my heart in two
If you should fall, into my arms
And tremble like a flower
For fear your grace should fall
For fear tonight is all
You could look into my eyes
Under the moonlight, this serious moonlight
And if you say run, Ill run with you
And if you say hide, well hide
Because my love for you
Would break my heart in two
If you should fall, into my arms
And tremble like a flower
Put on your red shoes and dance the blues
To the song were playing
Under the moonlight, this serious moonlight
Lets dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, dance
Lets dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, dance |
Well shes a tongue twisting storm
She’ll come to the show tonight
Praying to the light machine
She wants my honey not my money
Shes a funky-thigh collector
Laying on electric dreams
Well come on, well come on
Weve really got a good thing going
Well come on, well come on
If you think we’re going to make it
You better hang on to yourself
Oh we dont dance, we dont talk much
We just ball and play
But then we move like tigers on Vaseline
Even though the bitter comes out better on a stolen guitar
Youre the Blessed
Were The Spiders From Mars
Well come on, come on
Weve really got a good thing going
Well come on, well come on
If you think were going to make it
You better hang on to yourself
Come on
Well come on, come on
Weve really got a good thing going
Well come on, well come on
If you think we’re going to make it
You better hang on to yourself
Well come on, come on
We’ve really got a good thing going
Well come on, well come on
If you think youre going to make it
You better hang on to yourself
Oh come on
Come on, ah, come on, ah, come on, ah, come on, ah

I couldnt escape this feeling with my China Girl
Im just a wreck without my little China Girl
I hear her heart beating, its loud as thunder
I saw her stars crashing
Im just a mess without my little China Girl
Wake up in the morning theres my little China Girl
I hear heart beating, its loud as thunder
I saw her stars crashing
Im feeling tragic like Marlon Brando
When I look at my China Girl, uh yeah
I could pretend that nothing really meant too much
When I look at my China Girl
She said
She said
I stumble into town just like some sacred cow
Visions of swastikas in my head
Plans for everyone
Its in the white of my eyes
Oh, yeah
My little china girl
You shouldnt mess with me
Ill ruin everything that you are
Ill give you television
Ill give you eyes of blue
Ill give you a man who wants to rule the world
And when I get excited
My little China Girl says
Oh baby, just you shut your mouth
She says, Shh
She says, Shh
She says
She says
Uh, uh, uh, oh
Little China Girl
Uh, uh, uh, oh
Little China Girl
Thank you
Oh, Glastonbury
Glastonbury
You got a very very lucky face |
Up until one century ago there lived
In the Zi Duang province of an eastern country
A glass-like spider
Having devoured its prey
It would drape the skeletons over its web
In weeks creating a macabre shrine of remains
Its web was also unique, in that it had many layers
Like floors in a building
At the top of this palace-like place
Assembled with almost apparent care
Were tiny, shining objects
Glass, beads, dewdrops
One could almost call it an altar
When the breeze blew through this construction
It produced sounds of wailing, crying
Tiny wails, tiny cries
The baby spiders would get scared
And search frantically for their mother
But the glass spider would have long gone
Having known that the babies
Would survive somehow on their own
Oh, the glass spider had blue eyes almost like a humans
They shed tears at the wintered turn of the centuries
Dont you hear this wasted cry, life is over you
But youve seen whos in Heaven, is there anyone in Hell?
Take care, take care
Somewhere she glows divine, somewhere she wakes alone
But you, youve promised in your loving eye
God its dark now
Gone, Gone the waters all gone
Stay low on the ground
The fire can drive you, savage and afraid
Spitting the dawn, come along before the animals awake
Run, run, weve been moving all night, rivers to the left
If your mama dont love ya then the riverbed might
Gone, gone, the waters all gone
Gone gone the waters all gone
Mommy come back cause the waters all gone
Gone gone the waters all gone
Mommy come back cause the waters all gone
Gone gone the waters all gone
Mommy come back cause the waters all gone
Mommy come back cause its dark now
Mommy come back cause the waters all gone
Mommy come back cause its dark now
Mommy come back cause the waters all gone
Mommy come back cause its dark now
Mommy come back cause its dark now |
Oh my, naked eyes
I should have kept you
I should have tried
I should have been a wiser kind of guy
I miss you
Give me wings
Give me space
Give me money for a change of face
Those noisy rooms and passion pants
I love you
Wheres the morning in my life?
Wheres the sense in staying right?
Who said time is on my said?
Ive gor ears and eyes and nothing in my life
But Ill survive your naked eyes
Ill survive
You alone across the floor
You and me and nothing more
Youre the great mistake I never made
I never lied to you,I hated when you lied
But Ill survive your naked eyes
Ill survive
Beatle boys,all snowy white
Razzle dazzle clubs,every night
Wish Id sent a Valentine
I love You
Ill survive
Naked eyes
Ill survive
Ill survive
My naked eyes
Ill survive
Ill survive
Naked eyes
Ill survive
Ill survive
Ill Survive |

Time this one was written, 1975
Guy played the album with me on that frozen station
Was Earl Slick
This week has past me so slowly
The days fell on their knees
Maybe Ill take something to help me
Hope someone takes after me
I know theres always some change in the weather
This time I know we could get it together
If you would stay here tonight
That would be crazy tonight
Stay - thats what I meant to say or do something
But what I never say is
Stay this time
I really meant to so bad this time
But you can never really tell
When somebody wants something you want too
Heart wrecker, heart wrecker
See me tonight
Life is so vague when it brings someone new
This time tomorrow Ill know what to do
I know its happened to you
Stay - thats what I meant to say or do something
But what I never say is
Stay this time
I really meant to so bad this time
But you can never really tell
When somebody wants someone to
Stay - thats what I meant to say or do something
But what I never say is
Stay this time
I really meant to so bad this time
But you can never really tell
When somebody wants something you want too
Stay
Wont you stay?
Wont you stay?
Wont you stay?
Wont you stay? Hey
Stay, stay, stay, stay
Stay, stay, stay, stay
Stay, stay, stay, stay
Stay, stay, stay, stay
Stay, stay, stay, stay
Stay, stay, stay, stay
Stay, stay, stay, stay
Stay, stay, stay, stay
Stay, stay, stay, stay
Stay, stay, stay, stay
Stay, stay, stay |
What to wear
What to say
What to do on a sunny day
Who to phone
Who to fight
Who to dance with on Sunday night
Reaching the very edge, you know
Reaching the very edge
Going to the other side
Reaching the very edge
Youre still breathing but you dont know why
Lifes a bitch and sometimes you die
Youre still breathing but you just cant tell
Dont hold your breath but the pretty things are going to hell
I am a drug, I am a dragon
I am the best jazz youve ever seen
I am a dragon, I am the sky
I am the blood at the corner of your eye
I found the secrets, I found gold
I find you out before you grow old
I found you out before you grow old
What is eternal?
What is damned?
What is clay and what is sand?
Who to dis?
Who to truss?
Who to listen to?
Who to suss?
Im reaching the very edge, you know
Im reaching the very edge
Im going to the other side this time
Im reaching the very edge
Youre still breathing but you dont know why
Lifes a bitch and sometimes you die
Youre still breathing but you just cant tell
Dont hold your breath but the pretty things are going to hell |
Life is a circus
Its not a fair
Life is a hard road
When youre not there
At the fair
Friends come to see me
To see the show
Crowd moving in line
The circus must go
To the fair
Papa, he talks to me
Dont dry your eyes, hmm
Gets deep inside you
Does you real harm
Dont you care?
High tightrope-walking
Stand straight and tall
Dont lose your balance
Long wait home
Crowds dont care
Life is a circus
Its not a fair
Life is a hard road
When youre not there
At the fair |
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 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 floating round my tin can
Far above the Moon
Planet Earth is blue
And theres nothing I can do |
Its safe in the city to love in a doorway
Wrangle some screams from the dawn
And isnt it me, putting pain in a stranger?
Like a portrait in flesh, trails on a leash
Will you see that Im scared and Im lonely?
So Ill break up my room, and yawn and Ill
Run to the center 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 crossroads and hamburgers
Boys, boys, its a sweet thing
Boys, boys, its a sweet thing, sweet thing
If you want it, boys, get it here then
Cause hope, boys, is a cheap thing, cheap thing
Ill make you a deal, like any other candidate
Well pretend were walking home cause your futures at stake
My set is amazing, it even smells like a street
Theres a bar at the end where I can meet you and your friend
Someone scrawled on the wall I smell the blood of les tricoteuses
Who wrote up scandals in other bars
Im having so much fun with the poisonous people
Spreading rumors and lies and stories they made up
Some make you sing and some make you scream
One makes you wish that youd never been seen
But theres a shop on the corner thats selling papier mache
Making bullet-proof faces; Charlie Manson, Cassius Clay
If you want it, boys, get it here, thing
So you scream out of line:
I want you! I need you! Anyone out there? Any time?
Tres butch little number whines Hey dirty, I want you
When its good, its really good, and when its bad I go to pieces
If you want it, boys, get it here, thing
Well, on the street where you live I could not hold up my head
For I put all I have in another bed
On another floor, in the back of a car
In the cellar of a church with the door ajar
Well, I guess we must be looking for a different kind
But we cant stop trying til we break up our minds
Til the sun drips blood on the seedy young knights
Who press you on the ground while shaking in fright
I guess we could cruise down one more time
With you by my side, it should be fine
Well buy some drugs and watch a band
Then jump in the river holding hands
Boys, boys, its a sweet thing
Boys, boys, its a sweet thing, sweet thing
If you want it, boys, get it here then
Cause hope, boys, is a cheap thing, cheap 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 |
Pressure pushing
Down on me
Pressing down on you
No man ask for
Under pressure
That burns a
Nation down
Splits a family
In two
Puts people
On streets
Its the terror
Of knowing
What this world
Is about
Watching some
Good friends
Screaming let
Me out
Pray tomorrow
Takes me higher
Pray tomorrow
Takes me higher
Tell me why
Tell me why
Tell me why
Tell me why
Tell me why
Cant we give ourselves
One more chance
Why cant we give
Ourselves one more chance
Why cant we give love
Give love give love
Give love give love
Give love give love
Give love
Give love give love
Give love give love
Cause loves such
An old fashioned word
And love dares you
To care
For 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
This is ourselves |
Day in
Day out
Stay in
Fade out
Hoo hoo
Oh hoo hoo
She was born in a handbag
Love left
On a doorstep
What she lacks is a backup
Cause nothing seems to make a dent
Going to find her some money, honey
Try to pay her rent
Thats the kind of protection everyone is shouting about
Day in
Day out
Stay in
Fade out
Hoo hoo
Hoo hoo hoo
First thing she learns is
Shes a citizen
Some things they turn out right
When youre under the USA
Someone rings a bell
And its all over
Shes going out of her way
Stealing for that one good rush
Day in
Day out
Stay in
Fade out
Hoo hoo
Hoo hoo hoo
She could use a little money
Shes hanging on his arms
Like a cheap suit
Shes got no money, honey
Shes on the other side
Oh come on little baby
Late night, big town
Police, shake down
Day in
Day out
Stay in
Fade out
Hoo hoo
Shes got a ticket to nowhere
Shes going to take a train ride
Nobody knows her, or knows her name
Shes in the pocket of a home boy
Oh shes going to take her a shotgun, pow
Spin the grail spin the drug
Shes going to make them well aware
Shes one angry gal
Day in
Day out
Stay in
Fade out
And theres angels everywhere
Suddenly shooting her down
Shooting her with video, drugs, bullets, and promises
Angels in a ton of sound...
Stay in
Fade out
Hoo hoo
Hoo hoo hoo
Day in
Fade out, fade out
Hoo hoo, oh you gotta
Fade out, fade out, fade out |
Mmm num ba de
Dum bum ba be
Doo buh dum ba beh beh
Pressure pushing down on me
Pressing down on you, no man ask for
Under pressure that burns 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
It’s the terror of knowing what this world is about
Watching some good friends screaming, Let me out!
Pray tomorrow gets me higher
Pressure on people, people on streets
Day day de
Day day de de de
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
De do da
De dap
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
Watching some good friends screaming, Let me out
Pray tomorrow gets me higher, high
Pressure on people, people on streets
Turned away from it all like a blind man
Sat on a fence but it dont work
Keep coming up with love but it’s so slashed and torn
Why, why, why?
Insanity laughs under pressure were breaking
Cant we give ourselves one more chance?
Why cant we give love that one more chance?
Why 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
This is ourselves under pressure
Under pressure
Under pressure

Now, this isnt the right thing to do
So—
So, lets—
So, lets go
Young girls they know what theyre after
Young girls dont kiss me goodbye
Rockets shooting up into space
Buildings they rise to the skies
Bang bang, I got mine
Bang bang, reach for the sky
I keep a good friend on videotape
Hell drive his sports car until its too late
But well have a hot time on the town tonight
Cause love is my bet and its the best yet
Bang bang, I got mine
Bang bang, sun dont shine
Bang bang, you are angels
Bang bang, now, you all oughta be in pictures
Oh girl
Oh girl
My problems cant follow me
Phone calls, I take my machine
I wander lonely to the sea
Lonely, ha-ha-ha, what does it mean
Bang bang, I got mine
Bang bang, and you are next in line
Bang bang, reach for the sky
Bang bang, sun dont shine
Rise buildings
Rise to the sky
young girls they know what theyre after
I said, young girls dont kiss me goodbye
Bang bang, then you closed, then you some closed, then you closed down
Bang bang,
Bang bang
Bang bang |
Theres always the Diamond friendly
Sitting in the Laugh Motel
The Heart’s filthy lesson
With her hundred miles to hell
Oh, Ramona
If there was only something between us
Oh, Ramona
If there was only something between us
Other than our clothes
Something in our skies, something in our skies
Something in our blood, something in our skies
Paddy, Paddy
Whos been wearing Mirandas clothes?
It’s the Hearts filthy lesson
Hearts filthy lesson
Hearts filthy lesson
Falls upon deaf ears
Its the Hearts filthy lesson
Hearts filthy lesson
Hearts filthy lesson
Falls upon deaf ears
Falls upon deaf ears
Oh Ramona, if there was only some kind of future
Oh Ramona, if there was only some kind of future
And these cerulean skies
Something in our skies, something in our skies
Something in our blood, something in our skies
Paddy, will you carry me?
I think I’ve lost my way
I’m already five years older, Im already in my grave
I’m already
Im already
Im already
Will you carry me?
Oh Paddy
I think Ive lost my way
Paddy, what a fantastic death abyss
Paddy, tell the others
Paddy
Paddy
Paddy, tell the others
Paddy
Paddy, tell the others |
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
Oh oh, youre a rock n roll suicide
Youre too old to lose it, too young to choose it
And the clocks 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
Lets turn on and be not alone
Gimme your hands cause youre wonderful
Gimme your hands cause youre wonderful
Oh gimme your hands |
DAVID BOWIE
Strikes the bell for 5 oclock, Uncle Arthur closes shop
Screws the tops on all the bottles, turns the lights out, locks it up
Climbs across his bike and hes away
Cycles past the gasworks, past the river, down the high street
Back to mother, its another empty day
Uncle Arthur likes his mommy
Uncle Arthur still reads comics
Uncle Arthur follows Batman
Round and round the rumours fly, how he ran away from Mum
On his 32nd birthday, told her that hed found a chum
Mother cried and raved and yelled and fussed
Arthur left her no illusion, brought the girl round, save confusion
Sally was the real thing, not just lust
Uncle Arthur vanished quickly
Uncle Arthur and his new bride
Uncle Arthur follows Sally
Round and round goes Arthurs head, hasnt eaten well for days
Little Sally may be lovely, but cooking leaves her in a maze
Uncle Arthur packed his bags and fled
Back to mother, alls forgiven, serving in the family shop
He gets his pocket money, hes well fed
Uncle Arthur past the gasworks
Uncle Arthur past the river
Uncle Arthur down the high street
Uncle Arthur follows mother |
A small Jean Genie snuck off to the city
Strung out on lasers and slash back blazers and
Ate all your razors while pulling the waiters
Talking bout Monroe and walking on Snow White
New Yorks a go-go, and everything tastes nice
Poor little Greenie
The Jean Genie lives on his back
The Jean Genie loves chimney stacks
hes outrageous, he screams and he bawls
The Jean Genie, let yourself go
Sits like a man, but he smiles like a reptile
She loves him, she loves him, but just for a short while
Shell scratch in the sand, wont let go his hand
He says hes a beautician and sells you nutrition
And keeps all your dead hair for making up underwear
Poor little Greenie
The Jean Genie lives on his back
The Jean Genie loves chimney stacks
hes outrageous, he screams and he bawls
The Jean Genie, let yourself go
Hes so simple minded, he cant drive his module
He bites on the neon and sleeps in the capsule
Loves to be loved
Loves to be loved
The Jean Genie lives on his back
The Jean Genie loves chimney stacks
hes outrageous, he screams and he bawls
The Jean Genie, let yourself go
Go
Go, go
The Jean Genie lives on his back
The Jean Genie loves chimney stacks
hes outrageous, he screams and he bawls
The Jean Genie, let yourself go
Go
Go, go |
When all the world was very young
Mountain magic heavy hung
The supermen would walk in file
Guardians of a loveless isle
And gloomy browed with super fear
Their tragic endless lives
Would heave nor sigh
Solemn serenity
Wondrous beings chained to life
Strange games they would play then
No death for the perfect men
Life rolls into one for them
So softly, a super god cries
Where all were minds in uni-thought
Powers weird by mystics taught
No pain, no joy, no power too great
Colossal strength to grasp a fate
Sad-eyed mermen tossed in slumbers
Nightmare dreams
No mortal mind could hold
Man would tear his brothers flesh
A chance to die, to turn to mold
Far out in the red-sky then
Far out from the sad eyes then
Strange, mad celebrations
So softly, a super god cries!
Far out in the red-sky
Far out from the sad eyes then
Strange, mad celebrations
So softly, a super god cries |
Ive never sailed on a sea
I would not challenge a giant
I could not take on the church
Time will crawl
Till the 21st century lose
I know a government man
He was as blind as the moon
He saw the sun in the night
He took a top-gun pilot
He made him fly thru a hole
Till he grew real old
And he never came down
He just flew till he burst
Time will crawl till our mouths run dry
Time will crawl till our feet grow small
Time will crawl till our tails fall off
Time will crawl till the 21st century lose
I saw a black black stream
Full of white eyed fish
And a drowning man
With no eyes at all
I felt a warm warm breeze
That melted metal and steel
I got a bad migraine
That lasted three long years
And the pills that I took
Made my fingers disappear
Time will crawl, time will crawl
Time will crawl
Till the 21st century lose
You were a talented child
You came to live in our town
We never bothered to scream
When your mask went on
We only smelt the gas
As we lay down to sleep
Time will crawl and our heads bowed down
Time will crawl and our eyes fall out
Time will crawl and the streets run red
Time will crawl till the 21st century lose
Time will crawl and our mouths run dry
Time will crawl and our feet grow small
Time will crawl and our tails fall off
Time will crawl till the 21st century lose
Time will crawl and our heads bowed down
Time will crawl and our eyes fall out
Time will crawl and the streets run red
Time will crawl till the 21st century lose
For the crazy child
Well give every life
For the crackpot notion |
Do-doo-doo doo-dah;
Do-do-doo-doo-dah-Dah
Dah-da-da-Da
Dah-doo-doo-doo
Dah-dah ...
The hand that wrote this letter
Sweeps the pillow clean
So rest your head
And read a treasured dream
I care for no one else but you
I tear my soul to cease the pain
I think maybe you feel the same
What can we do?
Im not quite sure what were supposed to do
So Ive been writing just for you
They say your life is going very well
They say you sparkle like a different girl
But something tells me that you hide
When all the world is warm and tired
You cry a little in the dark, well so do I
Im not quite sure what youre supposed to say
But I can see its not okay
He makes you laugh
He brings you out in style
He treats you well and
Makes you up real fine
And when hes strong
Hes strong for you
And when you kiss its something new
But did you ever call my name
Just by mistake?
Im not quite sure what Im supposed to do
So Ill just write some love to you
Do-do-Doo ...
Do, do-doo-doo-dooh:
Do, dah
Oh-oo-hoo-ooh-Oh |
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
Im drawing to the ragged hole
And I aint got the power anymore
No, I aint got the power anymore
Im the twisted name on Garbos eyes
Living proof of Churchills lies
Im destiny
Im torn between the light and dark
Where others see their targets
Divine symmetry
Should I kiss the vipers fang
Or herald loud 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; 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; ah
Dont believe in yourself
Dont deceive with belief
Knowledge comes with deaths release
Ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah; ah |
Much too much to bear
Your love is hard and fast
Your love will always last
If its you I need
Ive got to pay the levy
Got to pay
Because your loves too heavy on me
And its much too much to bear
If I ever leave you darling
I hope you see
That I really love you
But your loves too heavy on me
When I make love to you
Do all the things you want me to do
You never think of me
Always cry a bevy
Bevy of tears
Because your loves too heavy on me
There was a time I could give all I had to you
But my enthusiasm waned and I cant bear the pain
Of doing what I dont want to do
Your love is hard and fast
Your love will always last
If its you I need
Ive got to pay the levy
Got to pay
Because your loves too heavy on me |
When I believed in nothing
I called her name
Trapped in a high-dollar joint
In some place
I called her name
And though my days are slipping by
And nights so cruel
I thought Id die
She danced her little dance til it made me cry
She was shaking like this honey doing that
When I needed soul revival
I called your name
When I was falling to pieces
I screamed in pain
Your soothing hand that turned me round
A love so real
Swept over me
You danced a little dance til it made me cry
She was shaking like this honey doing that
Never let me down
She never let me down
Never let me down
She never let me down
When all your faith is failing, Call my name
When youve got nothing coming, Call my name
Ill be strong for all it takes
Ill cover your head
Until the bad stuff breaks
Dance my little dance til it makes you smile
Shaking like this honey doing that
Never let you down
Ill never let you down
Ill never let you down
Ill never let you down
Oh no |
Living in lies by the railway line
Pushing the hair from my eyes
Elvis is English and climbs the hills
Cant tell the bullshit from the lies
Screaming along in South London
Vicious but ready to learn
Sometimes I fear that the whole world is queer
Sometimes but always in vain
So Ill wait until were sane
Wait until were blessed and all the same
Full of blood, loving life and all its got to give
Englishmen going insane
Down on my knees in Suburbia
Down on myself in every way
With great expectations I change all my clothes
Mustnt grumble at silver and gold
Screaming above Central London
Never bored, so Ill never get old
So Ill wait until were sane
Wait until were blessed and all the same
Full of blood, loving life and all its got to give
Englishmen going insane
Down on my knees in suburbia
Down on myself in every way
Day after, day after day, day after
Zane, Zane, Zane, Ouvre le chien
Day after day, day after
Zane, Zane, Zane, Ouvre le chien
Day after |

{Intro}
If you say run
Ill run with you
For fear your grace should fall
For fear tonight is all
Put on your red shoes and dance the blues
Wild colors light up your face
Sway through the crowd to an empty space
Put on your red shoes and dance the blues
Under the moonlight
The serious moonlight
You could look into my eyes
If you say hide
Ill run with you
Put on your red shoes and dance the blues
Lets dance!
Lets dance!
Lets dance!
Lets dance!
You could look into my eyes |
Stinky weather, fat shaky hands
Dopey morning Doc, grumpy gnomes
Little wonder then, little wonder
You little wonder, little wonder you
Big screen dolls, tits and explosions
Sleepy time, bashful but nude
Little wonder then, little wonder
You little wonder, little wonder you
Intergalactic, seeming to be you
Its all in the tablets, sneezy Bhutan
Little wonder then, little wonder
You little wonder, little wonder you
Mars happy nation, sit on my karma
Dame meditation, take me away
Little wonder then, little wonder
You little wonder, little wonder you
Sending me so far away, so far away
So far away, so far away
So far away, so far away
So far away, so far away
So far away, so far away
So far away, so far away
So far away, so so far away
So far away, so far away
So far away, so so far away
You little wonder, little wonder you
You little wonder, little wonder you
Sending me so far away, so far away
So far away, so far away
So far away, so far away
So far away, so far away
So far away, so far away
So far away, so far away
So far away, so so far away
So far away, so far away
So far away, so so far away
Little wonder, little wonder you
You little wonder, you little wonder you
You little wonder you
Little wonder then, little wonder
You little wonder, little wonder you |
Yes, she does, yes, she does
Oh, I love my baby
Ooh, I gotta take her
Yep, I love her
Baby likes to go outside, so I let her
Wants to fool with other guys, so I let her
Wants to be bad, so I let her be bad
But fooling around, it will make me sad
She fools around with other boys and treat me like an unwanted toy
Oh, I love my baby
Ooh, she does too much to me
And I cant think too much of her
Gotta take her, gotta take her
Gonna better leave her alone, put you down son
Treating her real fine, thus Im home being a loner
Jeannys my babe and thats alright, yeah
She treats me good, each and every night
She fools around with other boys and treat me like an unwanted toy
I love my baby
Ooh, shes too much
Yes she does, yes she does
I love my baby
Yeah, shes too much, yeah yeah
Ooh, I think she can live with me
Love her, love her, love her
Baby likes to go outside, so I let her
Wants to fool with other guys, so I let her
Wants to be bad, so I let her be bad
But fooling around, it will make me sad
She clings around with all the boys, who treat her like unwanted toys
Obviously this is the end
Gotta take her
Ooh yeah
Cant do enough
(Baby loves that way |
Mmm num ba de
Dum bum ba be
Doo buh dum ba deh doh
Pressure pushing down on me
Pressing down on you, no man ask for
Under pressure that burns 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 doh
Its the terror of knowing what this world is about
Watching some good friends screaming, Let me out!
Pray tomorrow gets me higher
Pressure on people, people on streets
Day day de
Da da da da da
Okay
Chipping around, kick my brains around the floor
These are the days it never rains but it pours
Ee do ba be
Eе da ba ba ba
Ee da de
Be lap
Pеople on streets
Ee da de da de
People on streets
Ee da de da de da
Its the terror of knowing what this world is about
Watching some good friends screaming, Let me out!
Pray tomorrow gets me higher, high
Pressure on people, people on streets
Turned away from it all like a blind man
Sat on a fence but it dont work
Keep coming up with love but its so slashed and torn
Why, why, why?
Love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love
Insanity laughs under pressure were breaking
Cant we give ourselves one more chance?
Why cant we give love that one more chance?
Why cant we give love, give love, give love, give love
Give love, give love, give love, give love, give love?
Cause 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
This is ourselves under pressure
Under pressure
Pressure |
