Hello again, hello
Just called to say hello
I couldnt sleep at all tonight
And I know its late
But I couldnt wait

Hello, my friend, hello
Just called to let you know
I think about you every night
When Im here alone
And youre there at home
Hello

Maybe its been crazy
And maybe Im to blame
But I put my heart above my head
Weve been thru it all
And you loved me just the same
And when youre not there
I just need to hear

Hello, my friend, hello
Its good to need you so
Its good to love you like I do
And to feel this way
When I hear you say
Hello

Hello, my friend, hello
Just called to let you know
I think about you every night
And I know its late
But I couldnt wait
Hello

:)
 
Je reviendrai à Montréal
Je reviendrai à Montréal
Dans un grand boeing blue de mer
J'ai besoin de revoir l'hiver
Et ses aurores boréales

J'ai besoin de cette lumière
Descendue droit du Labrador
Et qui fait neiger sur l'hiver
Des roses bleues, des roses d'or

Dans le silence de l'hiver
Je veux revoir ce lac étrange
Entre le crystal et le verre
Où viennent se poser des anges

Je reviendrai à Montréal
Ecouter le vent de la mer
Se briser comme un grand cheval
Sur les remparts blancs de l'hiver

Je veux revoir le long désert
Des rues qui n'en finissent pas
Qui vont jusqu'au bout de l'hiver
Sans qu'il y ait trace de pas

J'ai besoin de sentir le froid
Mourir au fond de chaque bière
Et rejaillir au bord des toits
Comme des glaçons de bonbons clairs

Je reviendrai à Montréal
Dans un grand boeing bleu de mer
Je reviendrai à Montréal
Me marier avec l'hiver
Me marier avec l'hiver
 
If God's on Your Side (then who's on mine)


Come down baby from the mountaintop
It's time for you to let this go
There's things out there you just can't stop
There's things out there you just don't know
There's nowhere left for you to run


And all these books and all these words
Incompatible, absurd
You're watching on your TV set
'Til the world's a burning wreck
'Til you can hate someone you've never met


Well all I see is hate and greed
People fighting in the streets
And all these tears are washing me away
And Intolerance and genocide
And your book says that mine's a lie
If God's on your side, then who's on mine?


I woke up sleeping in a dream
All the boys had come back home
Your family's dancing in the streets
Your cousin's on the telephone
There's no need left for you to roam


Jesus, Buddha, Zeus and Jah
Apollo, Vishnu, and Allah
Bullets rain while children play
Do you watch or look away?
Tell me who decides, who will choose,
who will win, who will lose?


Well all I see is hate and greed
People fighting in the streets
And all these tears are wearing us away
And Intolerance and genocide
And your book says that mine's a lie
If God's on your side, then who's on mine?


You knelt there in a pew
And you said a prayer or two
Lit a candle for luck
Put your money in the cup
You quote chapter and verse
And how your God got here first
In a stem cell petrie dish
there's a Darwin bumper fish


Come down baby from the mountaintop
Take a breath and let it go
There's things out there you just can't stop
There's things out there you'll never know
There's no need left for you to run


All I see is hate and greed
People fighting in the streets
And all these tears are wasting us away
And when we wake up in this war
but no one knows what it was for
Was God on my side, or was he on yours?
If God's on your side, then who's on mine?
 
Anti-Nowhere League version FTW!

Well did you see the old man….. outside the Seamans mission
Memories are fading with the medals that he wears
Did you see the old man ……outside the Seamans mission
He's just another hero from this land that doesn't care

So how can you tell me your lonely
Don't say to me that your sun don't shine…..

And have you seen the old girl….Who walks the streets of London
She ain't got no money ……….and she's all dressed in rags
Have you seen the old girl…who walks the streets of London
She carries her old knickers in two….. polythene bags

So how can you tell me your lonely
Don't say to me that your sun don't shine

Well let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London
I'll show you something………..you'll never understand
Let me take you by the hand and drag you through your streets of London
I'll show you something…….that'll make you fucking sick

Well let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London
I'll show you something ………we'll never understand
Let me take you by the hand and drag you through the streets of London
I'll show you something ……that'll make you fucking sick.
 
This is the place in my heart
This is the place where I’m falling apart
Isn’t this just where we met?
And is this the last chance that I’ll ever get?
I wish I was lonely
Instead of just only
Crystal and see through and not enough to you
 
The city streets burst at their seams
And flood the earth with people's dreams
But you're only concerned with some new shoe
Once up Broadway, we had walked
My mind was racing as you talked
I wish that I could be as dumb as you
We bought the lampshades and the cars
The wind-up toys and cookie jars
Another swap meet and bazaar with you
But now your pointless lazy drawl
Puts me to sleep and then I fall
Into a place where I'm encased in glue
Chorus:
Keep it light (Keep it light)
And keep it loose (Keep it loose)
What's the fuss? (What's the fuss?)
And what's the use?
One night up in a penthouse suite
Your famous friends I got to meet
So nice to have my pinky painted blue
And now I hear your voice an' pour a drink
Don't you ever stop to think
Beyond the safe and sanctioned point of view
Chorus:
Keep it light (Keep it light)
You gotta keep it loose (Keep it loose)
What's the fuss? (What's the fuss?)
And what's the use?
The city streets burst at their seams
And flood the earth with people's dreams
But you're only concerned with some new shoe
So we'll still amble through the bars
And count the pretty colored jars
I still wish that I could be as dumb as you
As dumb as you
As dumb as you
Just as dumb as you
 
Three Guys

Joy and Bliss and Love
Come from Heaven above
Schnitzel and filet mignon
Come from the animal kingdom

Byron and Shelley and Goethe
Were finishing up their Dessert-e
When the garcon came to reckon,
Byron to Shelley did beckon

"You stall the waiter, I'll give the slip --
Goethe for certain
Will hide in the curtain
And think up a jolly good quip"

These Three Mousketeers thought it outré
To travel about on the subway
Pedestrians get there too slowly
And buses are common and lowly

So they hailed down a nice yellow taxi,
Climbed grinning and gay in the backseat
The fare came to over a fiver,
So they replied to the driver

"We have no money, we have no tip, "
But we can see by the love in your eyes
That you'll let us get by with a slip"

They snuck in one night to the Bijou
Drinking vodka and Milk of Magnesia
They littered the balcony boxes
Grinning like toothless old foxes

Saint Peter was watching the action
With a dim view of dissatisfaction
He pinned up a sign on the portals:
"WE NO LONGER TAKE IN IMMORTALS"

Oh, you stall the waiter, I'll give the slip,
Goethe for certain will hide in the curtain
And think up a jolly good quip.
 
Johnnys always running around
Trying to find certainty
He needs all the world to confirm
That he aint lonely
Mary counts the walls
Knows he tires easily

Johnny thinks the world would be right
If it could buy truth from him
Mary says he changes his mind more than a woman
But she made her bed
Even when the chance was slim

Johnny says hes willing to learn
When he decides hes a fool
Johnny says hell live anywhere
When he earns to time
Mary combs her hair
Says she should be used to it
Mary always hedges her bets
She never knows what to think
She says that he still acts
Like he is being discovered
Scared that hell be caught
Without a second thought
Running around

Johnny feels hes wasting his breath
Trying to talk sense to her
Mary says hes lacking a real
Sense of proportion
So she combs her hair
Knows he tires easily

Johnnys always running around
Trying to find certainty
He needs all the world to confirm
That he aint lonely
Mary counts the walls
Says she should be used to it

Johnnys always running around
Running around
 
When I think that I'm over you
I'm overpowered

You're dating my daughter
The chromosomes match
Exact doesn't matter
A matter of fact

These amoring feelings
A cognitive state
Need the love object
To reciprocate

When I think that I'm over you
I'm overpowered
It's long overdue
I'm overpowered

When I think that I'm over you
I'm overpowered
It's long overdue
I'm overpowered

A chemical reason
If reason's your game
A chemical needing
Is there in the brain

With preprogrammed meanings
Like a little more pep
Alien feelings
We have to accept

When I think that I'm over you
I'm overpowered
It's long overdue
I'm overpowered

When I think that I'm over you
I'm overpowered
It's long overdue
I'm overpowered

As science struggles on to try to explain
Oxytoxins flowing ever into my brain

As science struggles on to try to explain
Oxytoxins flowing ever into my brain
 
Too many Florence Nightingales
Not enough Robin Hoods
Too many halos not enough heroes
Coming up with the goods
So you though you’d like to change the world
Decided to stage a jumble sale
For the poor, for the poor

It’s a waste of time if you know what they mean
Try shaking a box in front of the queen
’cause her purse is fat and bursting at the seams
It’s a waste of time if you know what they mean

Too many hands in too many pockets
Not enough hands on hearts
Too many ready to call it a day
Before the day starts
So you thought you’d like to see them healed
Got blue peter to stage an appeal
For the poor, for the poor

It’s a waste of time if you know what they mean
Try shaking a box in front of the queen
’cause her purse is fat and bursting at the seams
It’s a waste of time if you know what they mean

Flag day, flag day, flag day
 
Im the dandy highwayman who youre too scared to mention
I spend my cash on looking flash and grabbing your attention
The devil take your stereo and your record collection!
The way you look youll qualify for next years old age pension!

Stand and deliver your money or your life!
Try and use a mirror no bullet or a knife!

Im the dandy highwayman so sick of easy fashion
The clumsy boots, peek-a-boo roots that people think so dashing
So whats the point of robbery when nothing is worth taking?
Its kind of tough to tell a scruff the big mistake hes making

Stand and deliver your money or your life!
Try and use a mirror no bullet or a knife!

And even though you fool your souls
Your conscience will be mine
All mine

Were the dandy highwaymen so tired of excuses
Of deep meaning philosophies where only showbiz loses
Were the dandy highwaymen and heres our invitation
Throw your safety overboard and join our insect nation

Stand and deliver your money or your life!
Try and use a mirror no bullet or a knife!

And even though you fool your souls
Your conscience will be mine, all mine

Da diddley qa qa da diddley qa qa
Da diddley qa qa da diddley qa qa

Stand and deliver your money or your life!
Stand and deliver your money or your life!...
 
Mr. Crowley, what they done in your head
(Oh) Mr. Crowley, did you talk to the dead
Your lifestyle to me seemed so tragic
With the thrill of it all
You fooled all the people with magic
(Yeah)You waited on Satan's door

Mr. Charming, did you think you were pure
Mr. Alarming, in nocturnal rapport
Uncovering things that were sacred, manifest on this earth
(Oh)Conceived in the eye of a secret
Yeah, they scattered the afterbirth

Solo

Mr. Crowley, won't you ride my white horse?
Mr. Crowley, it's symbolic of course
Approaching a time that is classic
I hear that maidens call
Approaching a time that is drastic
Standing with their backs to the wall

(Solo)

Was it polemically sent?
I wanna know what you meant
I wanna know
I wanna know what you meant, yeah!

(Solo)
 
Im the dandy highwayman who youre too scared to mention
I spend my cash on looking flash and grabbing your attention
The devil take your stereo and your record collection!
The way you look youll qualify for next years old age pension!

Stand and deliver your money or your life!
Try and use a mirror no bullet or a knife!

FUKN love it :cool:
 
Oari rai?
Ob Ob Ob
Mas que nada
Sai da minha frente
Eu quero passar
Pois o samba est animado
O que eu quero sambar
Este samba
Que misto de maracatu
samba de preto velho
Samba de preto tu
Mas que nada
Um samba como esse t?o legal
Voc n?o vai querer
Que eu chegue no final
 
Uma espcie de cu,
Um pedao de mar,
Uma mo que doeu,
Um dia devagar.
Um Domingo perfeito,
Uma toalha no cho,
Um caminho cansado,
Um trao de avio.

Uma sombra sozinha,
Uma luz inquieta,
Um desvio na rua,
Uma voz de poeta.

Uma garrafa vazia,
Um cinzeiro apagado,
Um Hotel numa esquina,
Um sono acordado.
Um secreto adeus,
Um caf a fechar,
Um aviso na porta,
Um bilhete no ar.

Uma praa aberta,
Uma rua perdida,
Uma noite encantada
Para o resto da vida.

Pedes-me um momento,
Agarras as palavras,
Escondes-te no tempo
Porque o tempo tem asas. 2x
Levas a cidade
Solta no cabelo,
Perdes-te comigo
Porque o mundo um momento.

Uma estrada infinita,
Um anncio discreto,
Uma curva fechada,
Um poema deserto.
Uma cidade distante,
Um vestido molhado,
Uma chuva divina,
Um desejo apertado.

Uma noite esquecida,
Uma praia qualquer,
Um suspiro escondido
Numa pele de mulher.

Um encontro em segredo,
Uma duna ancorada,
Dois corpos despidos,
Abraados no nada.
Uma estrela cadente,
Um olhar que se afasta,
Um choro escondido
Quando um beijo no basta.

Um semforo aberto,
Um adeus para sempre,
Uma ferida que di,
No por fora, por dentro.

Pedes-me um momento,
Agarras as palavras,
Escondes-te no tempo
Porque o tempo tem asas. 2x
Levas a cidade
Solta no cabelo,
Perdes-te comigo
Porque o mundo um momento..................
 
Trudging slowly over wet sand
Back to the bench where your clothes were stolen
This is the coastal town
That they forgot to close down
Armageddon - come Armageddon!
Come, Armageddon! Come!

Everyday is like Sunday
Everyday is silent and grey

Hide on the promenade
Etch a postcard :
"How I Dearly Wish I Was Not Here"
In the seaside town
That they forgot to bomb
Come, Come, Come - nuclear bomb

Everyday is like Sunday
Everyday is silent and grey

Trudging back over pebbles and sand
And a strange dust lands on your hands
And on your face...
On your face ...
On your face ...
On your face ...

Everyday is like Sunday
Win yourself a cheap tray
Share some grease tea with me
Everyday is silent and grey


Tescribes the town I grew up in pretty much to perfection...
 
Sup up your beer and collect your fags,
Theres a row going on down near slough,
Get out your mat and pray to the west,
Ill get out mine and pray for myself.
Thought you were smart when you took them on,
But you didnt take a peep in their artillery room,
All that rugby puts hairs on your chest,
What chance have you got against a tie and a crest.

Hello-hurrah - what a nice day - for the eton rifles,
Hello-hurrah - I hope rain stops play - with the eton rifles.

Thought you were clever when you lit the fuse,
Tore down the house of commons in your brand new shoes,
Compose a revolutionary symphony,
Then went to bed with a charming young thing.

Hello-hurrah - cheers then mate - its the eton rifles,
Hello-hurrah - an extremist scrape - with the eton rifles.

What a catalyst you turned out to be,
Loaded the guns then you run off home for your tea,
Left me standing - like a guilty (naughty) schoolboy.

We came out of it naturally the worst,
Beaten and bloody and I was sick down my shirt,
We were no match for their untamed wit,
Though some of the lads said theyll be back next week.

Hello-hurrah - theres a price to pay - to the eton rifles,
Hello-hurrah - Id prefer the plague - to the eton rifles.

Hello-hurrah - theres a price to pay - to the eton rifles,
Hello-hurrah - Id prefer the plague - to the eton rifles.
 
Efficiency and progress is ours once more
Now that we have the Neutron bomb
It's nice and quick and clean and gets things done
Away with excess enemy
But no less value to property
No sense in war but perfect sense at home:

The sun beams down on a brand new day
No more welfare tax to pay
Unsightly slums gone up in flashing light
Jobless millions whisked away
At last we have more room to play
All systems go to kill the poor tonight

Gonna
Kill kill kill kill Kill the poor:Tonight

Behold the sparkle of champagne
The crime rate's gone
Feel free again
O' life's a dream with you, Miss Lily White
Jane Fonda on the screen today
Convinced the liberals it's okay
So let's get dressed and dance away the night

While they:
Kill kill kill kill Kill the poor:Tonight
 
Well did you hear, there's a natural order?
Those most deserving will end up with the most?
That the cream cannot help but always rise up to the top,

Well I say,... Shit floats.

If you thought things had changed,
Friend, you'd better think again,
Bluntly put, in the fewest of words:

Cunts are still running the world,
Cunts are still running the world.

Now the Working classes are obsolete,
They are surplus to society's needs,
So let 'em all kill each other,
And get it maid overseas.
That's the word don't you know,
From the guys that's running the show,
Lets be perfectly clear boys and girls,

Cunts are still running the world,
Cunts are still running the world.

Oh feed your children on crayfish and lobster tails,
Find a school near the top of the league,
In theory I respect your right to exist,
I will kill you if you move in next to me,

Ah, it stinks, it sucks, it's anthropologically unjust,
Oh but the takings are up by a third,
Cunts are still running the world,
Cunts are still running the world.
(Cunts are still running the world)
(Cunts are still running the world)

The free market is perfectly natural,
Do you think that I'm some kind of dummy?
It's the ideal way to order the world;
Fuck the morals, does it make any money?

And if you don't like it? Then leave.
Or use your right to protest on the street,
Yeah, use your right but don't imagine that it's heard,

Not whilst cunts are still running the world,
Cunts are still running the world,
Cunts are still running the world,
Cunts are still running the world,
Cunts are still running the world,
Cunts are still running the world,

Cunts are still running... the world.
 
I blame the government
For making me this way
Bitter and twisted and crap
Bored psychopathic
At the end of the day
I blame the government for that
Poor education, death on the roads
The writing that’s not on the wall
The war in The Balkans
The war in The Falklands
It’s not like The Waltons at all

I’m the judge and the jury
Prosecution and defence
I’m the wife, the friend
The twelve angry men
And I blame them

For the child that’s abandoned
The decline in standards
Cruelty to animals and yes,
There’s no enjoyment
In mass unemployment
Ulcers,starvation and death

Under achievers
Taken by the receivers
The school leavers left on the shelf
Robbery with violence
With torture and silence
Small print, the pop charts
And everything else

I’m the judge and the jury
Prosecution and defence
I’m the wife, the friend
The twelve angry men
And I blame them

If I had the wings of a sparrow
If I had the arse of a crow
I’d fly over Whitehall tomorrow
And **** on the bastards below
It’s ugly and crude and I’m sorry
I just want you to leave me alone
You’re selling us all down The Swannee
I’m tired and I want to go home

As we disappear into the distance
The sinking ship leaving the rats
For making me bitter and twisted
I blame the government for that
 
You've never had it so good
The favourite phrase of those who've always had it better
Burn it up!
Realise the altogether

Bring it down
Burn together
The altogether's an insane thing, insane thing
Bring it down
All together
The altogether's an insane thing, insane thing

You've never had it so good
The favourite phrase of those who've always had it better
You never had so much is the cry
Of those who've always had much more, much more than you & I

Burn brother burn
Fight together
This altogether's an insane thing, insane thing
Bring it down
All together
The altogether's an insane thing, insane thing

Burn
Insane thing, insane thing
Insane thing, insane thing

Burn brother burn
Let's burn Together
Burn brother burn
Burn, burn, burn
This insane thing, insane thing
Burn brother burn
Burn sister burn

Spurn the lie
They use to justify
This insanity!
The inhumanity!
Of this insane thing

Burn brother burn
Burn, burn, burn
Some's got it easy
Bring it down
The altogether
Keeps getting better for the few
Who've got it good to start with ...
 
Somebody told me today
Let slip in a casual way
Nobody seemed to care anycase
I didn't realise, I turned away

Somebody told me today
And though my mind was miles away
Slowly the pain welled inside
As I realised he'd died

Take no heroes, only inspiration
And if you learn nothing from his life
Learn this from his death
The man may die but his dream survives
I headed out, walked the town
Staring sick & lonely
Strange faces passed
And they didn't know ...

I wanted to tell them so but
Oh the rain beat hard & cold
A finer truth hit hard
Took hold

Take no heroes, only inspiration
And if you learn nothing from his life
Learn this one thing
The man may die
The man may die but his dream survives
Take no heroes
Take no heroes
Take no heroes

No way I could explain
No one to explain it to anyway
But a tearful misery's a sorry legacy
And this is not the time for sad obituaries
The rain beat hard and cold

Learn this thing
Take no heroes
Take no heroes
Take no heroes
Take no heroes

The man may die
The man may die
The man may die
But his dream survives
Take no heroes
 
Be careful of my heart heart
Be careful of this heart of mine
Be careful of my heart heart
It just might break and send some splinters flying
Be careful of my heart heart
Be careful

You you you
You you you
You you you
Took my love
Thought you took it all

You you you
You you you
You you you
Took my love
And now youre gone

But Im not breaking down
And Im not falling apart
I just lost a little faith
When you broke my heart
Given a chance
I might try it again
But I wouldnt risk it all this time

Id save
A little love for myself
Enough for my heart to mend
A little love for myself
One day I just might love again
One day some sweet smile might turn my head
One day I just might give all myself away
One day
One day
One day
 
If only I'd thought of the right words
I could have held on to your heart
If only I'd thought of the right words
I wouldn't be breaking apart
All my pictures of you

Looking so long at these pictures of you
But I never hold on to your heart
Looking so long for the words to be true
But always just breaking apart
My pictures of you

There was nothing in the world
That I ever wanted more
Than to feel you deep in my heart
There was nothing in the world
That I ever wanted more
Than to never feel the breaking apart
All my pictures of you
 
God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
Put it in the soul of everyone
Do you know what you want? you dont know for sure
You dont feel right, you cant find a cure
And youre gettin less than what youre lookin for

You dont have money or a fancy car
And youre tired of wishin on a falling star
You gotta put your faith in a loud guitar

Chorus:
God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to everyone (oh yeah)
God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
Put it in the soul of everyone

Now listen
If you wanna be a singer, or play guitar
Man, you gotta sweat or you wont get far
Cause its never too late to work nine-to-five

You can take a stand, or you can compromise
You can work real hard or just fantasize
But you dont start livin till you realize - I gotta tell ya!

God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to everyone
God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
Put it in the soul

(instrumental break)

God gave rock and roll to you (to everyone he gave the song to be sung)
Gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to everyone

God gave rock and roll to you (to everyone he gave the song to be sung)
Gave rock and roll to you, saved rock and roll for everyone
Saved rock and roll

Chorus repeats out...

I know life sometimes can get tough! and I know life sometimes can be a drag!
But people, we have been given a gift, we have been given a road
And that roads name is... rock and roll!
 
..i love the acoustic born 2 run on chimes of freedom 2, been listenin to bruce 2nite

They prosecuted some poor sucker in these United States
For teaching that man descended from the apes
They coulda settled that case without a fuss or fight
If they'd seen me chasin' you, sugar, through the jungle last night
They'da called in that jury and a one two three said
Part man, part monkey, definitely

Well the church bell rings from the corner steeple
Man in a monkey suit swears he'll do no evil
Offers his lover's prayer but his soul lies
Dark and driftin' and unsatisfied
Well hey bartender, tell me whaddaya see
Part man, part monkey, looks like to me

Well the night is dark, the moon is full
The flowers of romance exert their pull
We talk awhile, my fingers slip
I'm hard and crackling like a whip

Well did God make man in a breath of holy fire
Or did he crawl on up out of the muck and mire
Well the man on the street believes what the bible tells him so
Well you can ask me, mister, because I know
Tell them soul-suckin' preachers to come on down and see
Part man, part monkey, baby that's me
 
10 x 10 x 10 x No!

A no-go for go-show

We're out on demo! Let's move

This motion! Prove the notion!

Celebration of hopeless devotion

There's no doubt

About our intention

We're shouting out

Our discension

Papers dig dirt we're out getting

Hurt. A sure cert.

The town's on red alert!

Is something for nothing

Really a dumb thing

Making swans out of

Ugly ducklings

It's the process of the mostest

No licking bum and no incest

You're lost in aw

In the candystore

The cost of the handywork

You adore...you can't afford

So took what you saw

I applaud! It's what

God made pockets for

Raid the bank

a smash for the cash tank

I no thank you and

Your crew and attitude

It's positively negative

Like radio sedaative

All take no give

Strain this shit

Through a seive and

See what still lives

Well I bet you've met your fate and

Now it's too late leave the stage

'Cost I've had my wait

JUst got to say no!

Just got to scream

Just got to say it! No!
