From the dark end of the street
To the bright side of the road
Well be lovers once again on the
Bright side of the road

Little darlin, come with me
Wont you help me share my load
From the dark end of the street
To the bright side of the road

Into this life were born
Baby sometimes we dont know why
And time seems to go by so fast
In the twinkling of an eye

Lets enjoy it while we can
Wont you help me sing my song
From the dark end of the street
To the bright side of the road

From the dark end of the street
To the bright side of the road
We'll be lovers once again
On the bright side of the road
Well be lovers once again on the bright side of the road
 
Well, its a marvelous night for a moondance
With the stars up above in your eyes
A fantabulous night to make romance
neath the cover of october skies
And all the leaves on the trees are falling
To the sound of the breezes that blow
And Im trying to please to the calling
Of your heart-strings that play soft and low
And all the nights magic seems to whisper and hush
And all the soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush

Chorus:
Can I just have one a more moondance with you, my love
Can I just make some more romance with a-you, my love

Well, I wanna make love to you tonight
I cant wait til the morning has come
And I know that the time is just right
And straight into my arms you will run
And when you come my heart will be waiting
To make sure that youre never alone
There and then all my dreams will come true, dear
There and then I will make you my own
And every time I touch you, you just tremble inside
And I know how much you want me that you cant hide

Chorus

Repeat 1st verse

One more moondance with you in the moonlight
On a magic night
La, la, la, la in the moonlight
On a magic night
Cant I just have one more dance with you my love
 
Lyrics to Loving You :
Ohh ohhh woww yeaa

Back off loneliness and hello tenderness,
i've been waiting for your call for so long
and it must been hard just to follow your soul,

Hollis Brown
He lived on the outside of town
Hollis Brown
He lived on the outside of town
With his wife and five children
And his cabin fallin' down

You looked for work and money
And you walked a rugged mile
You looked for work and money
And you walked a rugged mile
Your children are so hungry
That they don't know how to smile

Your baby's eyes look crazy
They're a-tuggin' at your sleeve
Your baby's eyes look crazy
They're a-tuggin' at your sleeve
You walk the floor and wonder why
With every breath you breathe

The rats have got your flour
Bad blood it got your mare
The rats have got your flour
Bad blood it got your mare
If there's anyone that knows
Is there anyone that cares?

You prayed to the Lord above
Oh please send you a friend
You prayed to the Lord above
Oh please send you a friend
Your empty pockets tell yuh
That you ain't a-got no friend

Your babies are crying louder
It's pounding on your brain
Your babies are crying louder
It's pounding on your brain
Your wife's screams are stabbin' you
Like the dirty drivin' rain

Your grass it is turning black
There's no water in your well
Your grass is turning black
There's no water in your well
You spent your last lone dollar
On seven shotgun shells

Way out in the wilderness
A cold coyote calls
Way out in the wilderness
A cold coyote calls
Your eyes fix on the shotgun
That's hangin' on the wall

Your brain is a-bleedin'
And your legs can't seem to stand
Your brain is a-bleedin'
And your legs can't seem to stand
Your eyes fix on the shotgun
That you're holdin' in your hand

There's seven breezes a-blowin'
All around the cabin door
There's seven breezes a-blowin'
All around the cabin door
Seven shots ring out
Like the ocean's pounding roar

There's seven people dead
On a South Dakota farm
There's seven people dead
On a South Dakota farm
Somewhere in the distance
There's seven new people born
 
Come gather 'round friends
And I'll tell you a tale
Of when the red iron pits ran plenty.
But the cardboard filled windows
And old men on the benches
Tell you now that the whole town is empty.

In the north end of town,
My own children are grown
But I was raised on the other.
In the wee hours of youth,
My mother took sick
And I was brought up by my brother.

The iron ore poured
As the years passed the door,
The drag lines an' the shovels they was a-humming.
'Til one day my brother
Failed to come home
The same as my father before him.

Well a long winter's wait,
From the window I watched.
My friends they couldn't have been kinder.
And my schooling was cut
As I quit in the spring
To marry John Thomas, a miner.

Oh the years passed again
And the givin' was good,
With the lunch bucket filled every season.
What with three babies born,
The work was cut down
To a half a day's shift with no reason.

Then the shaft was soon shut
And more work was cut,
And the fire in the air, it felt frozen.
'Til a man come to speak
And he said in one week
That number eleven was closin'.

They complained in the East,
They are paying too high.
They say that your ore ain't worth digging.
That it's much cheaper down
In the South American towns
Where the miners work almost for nothing.

So the mining gates locked
And the red iron rotted
And the room smelled heavy from drinking.
Where the sad, silent song
Made the hour twice as long
As I waited for the sun to go sinking.

I lived by the window
As he talked to himself,
This silence of tongues it was building.
Then one morning's wake,
The bed it was bare,
And I's left alone with three children.

The summer is gone,
The ground's turning cold,
The stores one by one they're a-foldin'.
My children will go
As soon as they grow.
Well, there ain't nothing here now to hold them.
 
Oh the weather outside is frightful,
But the fire is so delightful,
And since we've no place to go,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

It doesn't show signs of Pauseping,
And I've bought some corn for popping,
The lights are turned way down low,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

When we finally kiss goodnight,
How I'll hate going out in the storm!
But if you'll really hold me tight,
All the way home I'll be warm.

The fire is slowly dying,
And, my dear, we're still good-bying,
But as long as you love me so,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
 
I just wish my life could be as strange as a conspiracy
I hold out home but there's no way of being what I want to be
The dragons blow fire angels fly spirits wither in the air
I'm just me I can't deny I'm neither here, there nor anywhere
Oh you should see my trail of disgrace
(Oh oh you should see my trail of disgrace)
It's enough to scare the whole human race
I said, oh you should see my trail of disgrace
(Oh oh you should see my trail of disgrace)
It's enough to scare the whole human race, yeah, eminence

I don't care about this life, they say there'll be another one
Defeatist attitude I know will you be sorry when I've gone
Primitive painters are ships floating on an empty sea
Gathering in galleries were stallions of imagery
Oh you should see my trail of disgrace,
(Oh oh you should see my trail of disgrace)
It's enough to hold the whole human race
I said oh you should see my trail of disgrace
(Oh oh you should see my trail of disgrace)
This is a new trance, yeah, an entrance too
(You should see my trail of disgrace)
And there's a look on your face, it's a human race
And if you just can't stand it, ah, I swear
This is a new trance, yeah, an entrance too
(You should see my trail of disgrace)
And there's a look on your face, it's a human race
And if you just can't stand it, ah, I swear I said it thinner

This is a new trance, yeah, an entrance too
And there's a look on your face, it's a human race
And if you just can't stand it, ah, I swear
This is a new trance, yeah, an entrance too
And there's a look on your face, it's a human race
And if you just can't stand it, ah, I swear
This is a new trance, yeah, an entrance too
(I just swear, light on me)
And there's a look on your face, it's a human race
(Your bitter trance)
And if you just can't stand it, ah, I swear
(Yeah yeah)
This is a new trance, yeah, an entrance too
And there's a look on your face, it's a human race
(Hold on)
And if you just can't stand it, ah, I swear
(Hold on love, on and on)
This is a new trance, yeah, an entrance too
And there's a look on your face, it's a human race
And if you just can't stand it, ah, I swear
(The way I see it, yeah yeah)
This is a new trance, yeah, an entrance too
(In your father's life)
And there's a look on your face, it's a human race
And if you just can't stand it, ah, I swear
(Painters of my life)
This is a new trance, yeah, an entrance too
And there's a look on your face, it's a human race
And if you just can't stand it, ah, I swear
(Swear I'm your life)
This is a new trance, yeah, an entrance too
(Do you feel it?)
And there's a look on your face, it's a human race
(I'm good)
And if you just can't stand it, ah, I swear
(Yeah, we?re jamming on)
This is a new trance, yeah, an entrance too
And there's a look on your face, it's a human race
(I can feel through your head)
And if you just can't stand it, ah, I swear
This is a new trance, yeah, an entrance too
(All through your life)
And there's a look on your face, it's a human race
And if you just can't stand it, ah, I swear
This is a new trance
 
Up early in the morning, dressed in black
Don't ask why? 'Cause I'm down in a suit and tie
They killed a homie that I went to school with (Damn!)
I tell ya life ain't shit to fool with
I still hear the screams of his mother
While my nigga laid dead in the gutter (Shit!)
And it's getting to my temple
Why is that the only time black folks get to ride in a limo?
It makes me so mad I want to get my sawed-in
And have some bodies hauled in
But no, I pay my respects and I'm through (whaddup Cube?)
Hug my crew, and maybe shed a tear or two
And I wanna get blitz
Grab my 40 ounce and then I reminisce
About a brother who had to be the one and only
So I dedicate this to my dead homiez...

[Verse Two:]

Another homie got murdered on a shakedown [three gun shots]
And his mother is at the funeral, havin' a nervous breakdown
Two shots hit him in the face when they blasted [two gun shots]
A framed picture and a closed casket
A single file line about 50 cars long
All drivin' slow with they lights on
He got a lot of flowers and a big wreath
What good is that when you're six feet deep?
I look at that shit and gotta think to myself
And thank God for my health
'Cause nobody really ever know
When it's gonna be they family on the front row
So I take everything slow, go with the flow
And shut my motherfuckin' mouth if I don't know (Word!)
'Cause that's what Pops told me
But I wish he could have said it...to my dead homiez

[Verse Three:]

I remember we painted our names on the wall for fun
Now it's "Rest in Peace" after every one
Except me, but I ain't the one to front
Seems like I'm viewin' a body after every month
Plus, I knew him when he was yea big
Pour beer on the curb before I take a swig
But somethin' ain't right
When it's a tragedy, that's the only time that the family's tight
Lovin' each other in a caring mood
There's lots of people and lots of food
They say "Be Strong" and you're tryin'
But how strong can you be when you see your Pops cryin'?
So that's why Ice Cube's dressed up
Because the city is so fuckin' messed up
And everybody is so phony
Take a little time...to think about your dead homiez.
 
Sun is shinin' in the sky
There ain't
A cloud in sight
It's stopped rainin'
Ev'rybody's in a play
And don't you know
It's a beautiful new day
Hey, hey, hey

Runnin' down the avenue
See how the sun shines
Brightly in the city
On the streets
Where once was pity
Mister blue sky
Is living here today
Hey, hey, hey

Mister blue sky
Please tell us why
You had to hide away
For so long
Where did we go wrong? (2x)

Hey, you
With the pretty face
Welcome
To the human race
A celebration
Mister blue sky's up
There waitin'
And today is the day
We've waited for
Ho, ho, ho

Mister blue sky
Please tell us why
You had to hide away
For so long
Where did we go wrong?

Hey there mister blue
We're so pleased
To be with you
Look around
See what you do
Everybody
Smiles at you (2x)

Mister blue sky
Mister blue sky
Mister blue sky

Mister blue
You did it right
But soon comes
Mister night
Creepin' over
Now his hand
Is on your shoulder
Never mind
I'll remember you this
I'll remember you this

Mister blue sky
Please tell us why
You had to hide away
For so long
Where did we go wrong? (2x)

Hey there mister blue
We're so pleased
To be with you
Look around
See what you do
Ev'rybody smiles at you
 
Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit.
Blessed is the lamb whose blood flows.
Blessed are the sat upon, spat upon, ratted on,
O lord, why have you forsaken me?
I got no place to go,
Ive walked around soho for the last night or so.
Ah, but it doesnt matter, no.

Blessed is the land and the kingdom.
Blessed is the man whose soul belongs to.
Blessed are the meth drinkers, pot sellers, illusion dwellers.
O lord, why have you forsaken me?
My words trickle down, like a wound
That I have no intention to heal.

Blessed are the stained glass, window pane glass.
Blessed is the church service makes me nervous
Blessed are the penny rookers, cheap hookers, groovy lookers.
O lord, why have you forsaken me?
I have tended my own garden
Much too long.
 
They say that richard cory owns one half of this whole town,
With political connections to spread his wealth around.
Born into society, a bankers only child,
He had everything a man could want: power, grace, and style.

But I work in his factory
And I curse the life Im living
And I curse my poverty
And I wish that I could be,
Oh, I wish that I could be,
Oh, I wish that I could be
Richard cory.

The papers print his picture almost everywhere he goes:
Richard cory at the opera, richard cory at a show.
And the rumor of his parties and the orgies on his yacht!
Oh, he surely must be happy with everything hes got.

But I work in his factory
And I curse the life Im living
And I curse my poverty
And I wish that I could be,
Oh, I wish that I could be,
Oh, I wish that I could be
Richard cory.

He freely gave to charity, he had the common touch,
And they were grateful for his patronage and thanked him very much,
So my mind was filled with wonder when the evening headlines read:
Richard cory went home last night and put a bullet through his head.

But I work in his factory
And I curse the life Im living
And I curse my poverty
And I wish that I could be,
Oh, I wish that I could be,
Oh, I wish that I could be
Richard cory.
 
He was a most peculiar man.
That's what Mrs. Riordan said and she should know;
She lived upstairs from him
She said he was a most peculiar man.

He was a most peculiar man.
He lived all alone within a house,
Within a room, within himself,
A most peculiar man.

He had no friends, he seldom spoke
And no one in turn ever spoke to him,
'Cause he wasn't friendly and he didn't care
And he wasn't like them.
Oh, no! he was a most peculiar man.

He died last Saturday.
He turned on the gas and he went to sleep
With the windows closed so he'd never wake up
To his silent world and his tiny room;
And Mrs. Riordan says he has a brother somewhere
Who should be notified soon.
And all the people said, "What a shame that he's dead,
But wasn't he a most peculiar man?"
:(:(:(
 
Diese Stadt ist eine Dirne
Hat rote Flecken auf der Stirn
Ihre Zähne sind aus Gold
Sie ist fett und doch so hold
Ihr Mund fällt mir zu Tale
wenn ich sie dafür bezahle
Sie zieht sich aus doch nur für Geld
Die Stadt die mich in Atem hält

Moskau
Раз, два, три!
Moskau
Посмотри!
Пионеры там идут,
песни Ленину поют.

Sie ist alt und trotzdem schön
Ich kann ihr nicht widerstehen
не могу устоять
Pudert sich die alte Haut
Hat sich die Brüste neu gebaut
построила вновь
Sie macht mich geil ich leide Qualen
Sie tanzt für mich ich muss bezahlen
я должен платить
Sie schläft mit mir doch nur für Geld
Ist doch die schönste Stadt der Welt

Moskau
Раз, два, три!
Moskau
Посмотри!
Пионеры там идут,
песни Ленину поют.

Ich sehe was, was du nicht siehst
(Wenn du deine Augen schließt)
когда ты ночью крепко спишь
Ich sehe was, was du nicht siehst
(Wenn du vor mir niederkniest)
когда ты предо мной лежишь
Ich sehe was, was du nicht siehst
(Wenn du mich mit dem Mund berührst)
когда со мною говоришь
Ich sehe was, das siehst du nie
Раз, два, три!

Moskau
Раз, два, три!
Moskau
Посмотри!
Пионеры там идут,
песни Ленину поют.
 
Clambering men in big bad boots
Dug up my den, dug up my roots
Treated us like plasticine town
They built us up and knocked us down
From meccano to legoland
Here they come with a brick in their hand
Men with heads filled up with sand
Its build

Its build a house where we can stay
Add a new bit everyday
Its build a road for us to cross
Build us lots and lots and lots and lots and lots

Whistling men in yellow vans
They can and drew us diagrams
Showed us how it all worked it out
And wrote it down in case of doubt

Slow, slow, quick, quick, quick
Its wall to wall and brick to brick
They work so fast it makes you sick
Its build

Its build a house where we can stay
Add a new bit everyday
Its build a road for us to cross
Build us lots and lots and lots and lots and lots

Its build

Down with sticks and up with bricks
In with boots and up with roots
Its in with suits and new recruits
Its build
 
See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side
I wait for you

Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I wait without you

With or without you
With or without you

Through the storm we reach the shore
You give it all but I want more
And Im waiting for you

With or without you
With or without you
I cant live
With or without you

And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away

My hands are tied
My body bruised, shes got me with
Nothing to win and
Nothing left to lose

And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away

With or without you
With or without you
I cant live
With or without you

With or without you
With or without you
I cant live
With or without you
With or without you
 
This one goes out to the one I love
This one goes out to the one I've left behind

A simple prop to occupy my time
This one goes out to the one I love
Fire. Fire.

This one goes out to the one I love
This one goes out to the one I've left behind

A simple prop to occupy my time
This one goes out to the one I love
Fire. (she's comin' down on her own, now)
Fire. (she's comin' down on her own, now)

This one goes out to the one I love
This one goes out to the one I've left behind

Another prop has occupied my time
This one goes out to the one I love
Fire. (she's comin' down on her own, now)
Fire. (she's comin' down on her own, now)
Fire. (she's comin' down on her own, now)
Fire. (she's comin' down on her own, now)
 
Follow me, don't follow me
I've got my spine, I've got my orange crush
Collar me, don't color me
I've got my spine, I've got my orange crush
We are agents of the free
I've had my fun and now its time to
Serve your conscience overseas (over me, not over me)
Coming in fast, over me

(repeat verse)

High on the booze
in a tent
paved with blood,
nine-inch howl,
brave the night,
chopper comin' in, you hope.

We'd circle and we'd circle and we'd circle to stop and consider and
centered on the pavement stacked up all the trucks jacked up and
our wheels in slush and orange crush in pocket and all this here county
hell any county it's just like heaven here and I was remembering and I
was just in a different county and all then this whirlybird that I
headed for I had my goggles pulled off I knew it all I knew every back
road and every truck stop

Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go
So make the best of this test, and don't ask why
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

So take the photographs, and still frames in your mind
Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial
For what it's worth it was worth all the while

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.
 
oh teh irony

What a waste of human
power
What a waste of human lives,
shoot the prisioners in
the towers
Forthy-three poor widowed
wives

Media blames it on the
prisioners,
But the prisioners did not kill
"Rockefeller pulled the trigger"
That's what the people feel.

Attica, Attica state, we're all
mates with Attica state.

Free the prisioners, free
the judges
Free all the prisioners everywhere,
All they want is truth
and justice
All they need is love and care

They all live in suffocation,
Let's not wathc them die
in sorrow,
Now's the time for revolution,
Give them all chance to grow.

Attica state......

Come together join the movement,
Take a stand for human rights,
Fear and hatred clouds
our judgement,
Free us all from endless
night,

Attica state....
We are all mattes...
We all live in......
Attica, Attica, Attica state.

(oh teh irony :hmm::D)
 
Mister Thompson calls the waiter, orders steak and baked potato
(Then) he leaves the bone and gristle and he never eats the skin
The busboy comes and takes it, with a cough contaminates it
(And he) puts it in a can with coffee grounds and sardine tins
And the truck comes by on Friday and carts it all away
A thousand trucks just like it are converging on the Bay

Oh, Garbage, garbage, garbage, garbage
We're filling up the seas with garbage
What will we do when there's no place left
To put all the garbage

Mr. Thompson starts his Cadillac and winds it down the freeway track
Leaving friends and neighbors in a hydrocarbon haze
He's joined by lots of smaller cars all sending gases to the stars
There to form a seething cloud that hangs for thirty days
And the sun licks down into it with an ultraviolet tongue
(Till it) turns to smog and then it settles in our lungs

Oh, Garbage, garbage
We're filling up the sky with garbage
Garbage, garbage
What will we do, when there's nothing left to breathe but garbage

Getting home and taking off his shoes he settles with the evening news
While the kids do homework with the TV in one ear
While Superman for thousandth's time sell talking dolls and conquers crime
(They) dutifully learn the date of birth of Paul Revere
In the paper there's a piece about the mayor's middle name
(And) he gets it done in time to watch the all-star bingo game

Oh, Garbage
We're filling up our minds with garbage
What will we do when there's nothing left to read
And there's nothing left to need
there's nothing left to watch
there's nothing left to touch
there's nothing left to walk upon
and nothing left to ponder on
nothing left to see
and nothing left to be but garbage

In Mr. Thompson's factory they're making plastic Christmas trees
Complete with silver tinsel and a geodesic stand
The plastic's mixed in giant vats, from some conglomeration that's
been piped from deep within the Earth, or strip-mined from the land
And if you ask them questions they say "why don't you see?
It's absolutely needed for the economy."

Oh, garbage, garbage, garbage
Their stocks and their bonds all garbage
What will they do when their system go to smash
there's no value to their cash
there's no money to be made
that there's a world to be repaid
their kids will read in history book
about financiers and other crooks
and feudalism and slavery
and nukes and all their knavery
To history's dustbin they're consigned,
along with many other kinds of garbage
 
We don't care what flag you're waving
We don't even want to know your name
We don't care where you're from or where you're going
All we know is that you came
You're making all our desicions
We have just one request of you
That while you're thinking things over
Here's something you just better do

Free the people now
Do it do it do it now

Well we were caught with our hands in the air
Don't desapir paranoia is everywhere
We can shake it with love when we're scared
So let's shout it aloud like a prayer

We understand your paranoia
But we don't want to play your game
You think you're cool and know what you are doing
666 is your name
So while you're jerking off each other
You better bear this thought in mind
Your time is up you better know it
But maybe you don't read the signs

Well you were caught with your hands in the kill
And you still got to swallow your pill
As you slip and you slide down the hill
On the blood of the people you killed

Stop the killing now
Do it do it do it now
Bring on the Lucie
 
Here comes that shit again
I've got a halloweenhead
Head full of tricks and treats
It leads me thru the nighttime streets
Black cats and falling trees
Under ladders always walking
Salt shaker spills just throw it over your shoulder, babe

I've got a bad idea again, i've got a
Halloweenhead, halloweenhead

Head full of candy bags
Costume shops and punks in drag
Head full of tricks and treats
Places where junkies meet
And it leads me thru streets at night
That's alright, i just watch i don't go inside

It's all the same old shit again
I got a halloweenhead
I got a halloweenhead
Lord, i got a halloweenhead

(Guitar solo :D)

I got a halloweenhead
Lord, i've got a halloweenhead
I got a halloweenhead
Oh lord, i've got a halloweenhead

Here comes that shit again
I've got a halloweenhead
Head of tricks and treats
It leads me thru the nighttime streets
Downtown
Downtown
Downtown

I've got a halloweenhead
Lord, i've got a halloweenhead
What the fuck's wrong with me, god i'm a halloweenhead
 
the pigeons told me to shoplift
their voices were so persuasive
the pigeons told me to shoplift
their voices they were so persuasive
the voices they were in my mind
and shortly after i did find
myself in dixons putting things in my coat
and looking round
and running away
and funning away from the security guard
he was overweight but he thought he was hard
and that's when he involved the police on me

and the magistrate didn't believe me
about the pigeons who told me to shoplift
he said son, i think you're crazy
i'm sending you for psychiatric reports
i said please don't send me for psyciahtric reports
i'm sending you for psychiatric reports
please don't send me for psyciahtric reports
i'm sending you for psychiatric reports

and that's how i met the psychiatrist
he didn't belive me either
he said
son there's no way on earth a pigeon can tell you what to do
i said you don't understand, i'll show you
i can speak the pigeions language i said
and that was about the time that i looked
deep into his eyes and i started to speak
in the manner of pigeons, through my beak
i said
prrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr


prrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

and that's hpw i hypnotised the psychiatrist
that's how i persuaded him
to give me the keys to his bmw
that was parked outside, automatic transmission

i said that's how i persuaded him
to give me the keys to the drugs trolley
and all those pharmaceuticals
were nice and clean in the drugs trolley
i took em along, along with me

i took his clothes and i left him there
covered in gaffer tape in his underwear
and he was going to have a lot of explaining to do
but that wasn't my problem
cos i was gone

and as i left the hospital
dressed as a psychiatrist
i got in his car outside
put my foot down and i started to drive
driving away down manningham lane
manningham lane in the pouring rain
no-one's ever going to see me again

and the pigeon's they're still in my brain
the pigeons are still in my brain
they said

prrrrrrrrrrrrr
 
The last time I saw richard was detroit in ’68,
And he told me all romantics meet the same fate someday
Cynical and drunk and boring someone in some dark cafe
You laugh, he said you think you’re immune, go look at your eyes
They’re full of moon
You like roses and kisses and pretty men to tell you
All those pretty lies, pretty lies
When you gonna realise they’re only pretty lies
Only pretty lies, just pretty lies

He put a quarter in the wurlitzer, and he pushed
Three buttons and the thing began to whirr
And a bar maid came by in fishnet stockings and a bow tie
And she said "drink up now it’s gettin’ on time to close."
"richard, you haven’t really changed," I said
It’s just that now you’re romanticizing some pain that’s in your head
You got tombs in your eyes, but the songs
You punched are dreaming
Listen, they sing of love so sweet, love so sweet
When you gonna get yourself back on your feet?
Oh and love can be so sweet, love so sweet

Richard got married to a figure skater
And he bought her a dishwasher and a coffee percolator
And he drinks at home now most nights with the tv on
And all the house lights left up bright
I’m gonna blow this damn candle out
I don’t want nobody comin’ over to my table
I got nothing to talk to anybody about
All good dreamers pass this way some day
Hidin’ behind bottles in dark cafes
Dark cafes
Only a dark cocoon before I get my gorgeous wings
And fly away
Only a phase, these dark cafe days


****


It was nothing
I saw your eye grow dark
The colours a cloudy sky goes
When it changes

So it happens
You didn't call my name
You turned and you ran for shelter
It was nothing

And the sky never leaves me
I couldn't find the words to say
Maybe you'll believe me
When the clouds have passed away

After rain, after rain
We can walk in green fields once again

And all my life I'll read the sky
And all my life I'll read the sky

It goes with you
Wherever you shine your shoes
Whatever the road you walk down
In your story

I remember
Diamonds on the grass
Scattered around in millions
It goes with you

And the sky never leaves me
I couldn't find the words to say
First we take it easy
Then we take it day by day

After rain…

And all my life I'll read the sky…
 
Invisible Sun - The Police

I don't want to spend the rest of my life

Looking at the barrel of an armalite

I don't want to spend the rest of my days

Keeping out of trouble like the soldiers say

I don't want to spend my time in hell

Looking at the walls of a prison cell

I don't ever want to play the part

Of a statistic on a government chart



There has to be an invisible sun

It gives its heat to everyone

There has to be an invisible sun

That gives us hope when the whole day's done



It's dark all day and it glows all night

Factory smoke and acetylene light

I face the day with me head caved in

Looking like something that the cat brought in



There has to be an invisible sun

It gives its heat to everyone

There has to be an invisible sun

That gives us hope when the whole day's done



And they're only going to change this place

By killing everybody in the human race

They would kill me for a cigarette

But I don't even wanna die just yet



There has to be an invisible sun

It gives its heat to everyone

There has to be an invisible sun

That gives us hope when the whole day's done
 
The Sun & The Rainfall - Depeche Mode

Someone will call

Something will fall

And smash on the floor

Without reading the text

Know what comes next

Seen it before

And it's painful



Things must change

We must rearrange them

Or we'll have to estrange them

All that I'm saying

The game's not worth playing

Over and over again



You're the one I like best

You retain my interest

You're the only one

If it wasn't for you

Don't know what I'd do

Unpredictable like the sun

And the rainfall



Things must change

We must rearrange them

Or we'll have to estrange them

All that I'm saying

The game's not worth playing

Over and over again
