What can I do to make light of this dull dull
day
What switch can I pull to illuminate the way
Show me one direction
I will not question again
For a warm injection
Is all I need to calm the pain

We all need a love resurrection
Just a little divine intervention
We all need a love resurrection
Just a little divine intervention

What seed must I sow to replenish this barren
land
Teach me to harvest I want you to grow in my
hand
Lets be optimistic, lets say that we won't toil in
vain
If we pull together we'll never fall apart again

We all need a love resurrection
Just a little divine intervention
We all need a love resurrection
Just a little divine intervention

Show me one direction
I will not question again
For a warm injection
Is all I need to calm the pain

We all need a love resurrection.......
 
You ain't got time for diamonds
And you pay no mind to gold
You gave up everything you had
But there's one thing I want you to hold

Come let the power through you
Come on and let me thrill you
Mama now

(baby come on come on)
Come on baby
(baby come on come on)
Come on baby
I just want to do it with you

Well I don't care where you want to go
Just so you go with me
And I don't care what you want to do
But make sure you do it with me

All I want to do with you
Well I just make-a some love to you

Come on baby
(baby come on come on)
Come on baby
(baby come on come on)
I said baby
(baby come on come on)
I just want to do it to you
All night lo-ong

Yeah yeah
(baby come on come on)
Come on baby
(baby come on come on)
I said baby
I just want to make it with you
Ohhhh
Come on
Come on come on come on baby
(baby)
 
A wise man killed one horse and made glue
Wicked women puttin period blood in stew
Don't that make the stew witches brew?
I fear for the eighty-five that don't got a clue
:cool:
 
I'm happy just to be with you
And loving you the way I do
It's everything I need to know
Just resting in the afterglow of your...

Love,love is all around me
Everywhere
Love has come to touch my soul
With someone who really cares
No one can deny us
People who once passed me by
Will turn their heads 'round

I'm happy just to be with you
And loving you the way I do, yeah
It's everything I need to know
Just resting in the afterglow of your love

You
Yes you have always been here
Feeling deep inside
A feeling that I could not see
Or touch, or try to hide
My love is in and around you
I bless the day that I found you
So listen up baby

I'm happy just to be with you
And loving you the way I do, yeah
It's everything I need to know
Just resting in the afterglow of your love

Love is like a voice in my head
Keeps turning 'round the things that we said

I'm happy just to be with you
And loving you the way I do, yeah
It's everything I need to know
Just resting in the afterglow of your love
 
I tried to do handstands for you
I tried to do headstands for you
Every time I fell on you yeah every time I fell
I tried to do handstands for you
But every time I fell for you
I'm permanently black and blue, permanently blue for
you

I tried to do handstands for you
I tried to do headstands for you
Every time I fell on you yeah every time I fell
I tried to do handstands but every time I fell for you
I'm permanently black and blue, permanently blue for

You ooo ...
For you ooo ...
So black and blue ooo ...
For you ooo ...

I grabbed some frozen strawberries so I could ice your bruisy knees
But frozen things they all unfreeze and now I taste like
All those frozen strawberries I used to chill your bruisy knees,
Hot July ain't good to me
I'm pink and black and blue

I got bruises on my knees for you
And grass stains on my knees for you
Got holes in my new jeans for you
Got pink and black and blue

Got bruises on my knees for you
And grass stains on my knees for you
Got holes in my new jeans for you
Got pink and black and blue for

You ooo ...
For you ooo ....
So black and blue ooo ...
For you ooo ...

Do-doo-do-do-do
Do-doo-do-do-do
Do-doo-do-do-do
Do-doo-do-do-do
Do-doo-do-do-do
 
All our times have come
Here but now they're gone
Seasons don't fear the reaper
Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain..we can be like they are
Come on baby...don't fear the reaper
Baby take my hand...don't fear the reaper
We'll be able to fly...don't fear the reaper
Baby I'm your man...

Valentine is done
Here but now they're gone
Romeo and Juliet
Are together in eternity...Romeo and Juliet
40,000 men and women everyday...Like Romeo and Juliet
40,000 men and women everyday...Redefine happiness
Another 40,000 coming everyday...We can be like they are
Come on baby...don't fear the reaper
Baby take my hand...don't fear the reaper
We'll be able to fly...don't fear the reaper
Baby I'm your man...

Love of two is one
Here but now they're gone
Came the last night of sadness
And it was clear she couldn't go on
Then the door was open and the wind appeared
The candles blew then disappeared
The curtains flew then he appeared...saying don't be afraid
Come on baby...and she had no fear
And she ran to him...then they started to fly
They looked backward and said goodby...she had become like they are
She had taken his hand...she had become like they are
Come on baby...don't fear the reaper
 
I'll write you a letter tomorrow
Tonight I can't hold a pen
Someone's got a stamp that I can borrow
I promise not to blow the address again

Lights that flash in the evening,
Through a crack in the drapes

Jesus rides beside me
He never buys any smokes
Hurry up, hurry up, ain't you had enough of this stuff
Ashtray floors, dirty clothes, and filthy jokes

See you're high and lonesome
Try and try and try

Lights that flash in the evening,
Through a hole in the drapes
I'll be home when I'm sleeping
I can't hardly wait

I can't wait. Hardly wait.


That song ^ just makes you (well me) feel good. :cool:
 
Felonius my old friend
Step on in and let me shake your hand
So glad that you're here again
For one more time
Let your madness run with mine
Streets still unseen we'll find somehow
No time is better than now

CHORUS:
Tell me where are you driving
Midnight cruiser
Where is your bounty
Of fortune and fame
I am another
Gentlemen loser
Drive me to Harlem
Or somewhere the same

The world that we used to know
People tell me it don't turn no more
The places we used to go
Familiar faces that ain't smilin' like before
The time of our time has come and gone
I fear we been waiting too long

CHORUS
 
one two
since the day i’ve spoken
my home was broken to
when the door was open
i was out and smokin
i didn’t look for trouble
trouble looked for me
but that’d be a lie you’d see
me and trouble got along just fine
out getting pissed on the beer and the wine
it didn’t take long before i met people just like me
feel plot and foxy
we made a little team, if you know what i mean
checked a few scenes
seen a few fiends
sprayed a few trains
played a few games
hung around with faces and names
went out with pretty young dames
young love and young flames

it’s alright, just keep on moving

wasn’t nothing but sorrow in the house
i wasn’t there
i went out
with the boys just hanging about
playing round and acting like louts
in them days overcoming our doubts
serving up just to keep a little clout
ploty introduced me to stealing
i knew ol’ mothers words now had lost their meaning
just stole paint to put up my name
pretty soon it all seemed the same
so this was my brand new game
stone island, and ralph lauren
thats what we were wearing then
i loved them days so i look back again
the club scene was banging at the time
house and garish, pills and white lines
kurosawa little strain on the mind
we dealt with it
we were fine
it felt like it was our time
seven, and the eight to the nine
hit ten, now let’s climb
hit ten, now it’s our time (cos it’s our time)

it’s alright, just keep on moving
it’s alright, just keep on moving
it’s alright, just keep on moving
it’s alright, just keep on moving
it’s alright, alright, so let’s make it right

it’s alright, alright, so let’s make it right
it’s alright, just keep on moving
it’s alright, just keep on moving

we all wanna rise up in the world
stay in and make love with our girls
when i look back it’s all just a whirl
and when i think back it’s all just a swirl
my mind moves to the music game
and that’s where my future seemed to lay
tommy d was the next man’s name
we made a few tracks and had a little fame
but we didn’t make that for fame
we made a few tracks for mankind to pay (play)
and that’s true, what more can i say
i’m not in the game to play
i’m just in the game to say
everything’s gonna be okay
don’t stress cos there’s always a way
doesn’t matter if your jeans get frayed
cos there’s no such word as afraid
it took awhile but we made the high grade
it took awhile but we made the high grade

it’s alright, just keep on moving
it’s alright, just keep on moving
it’s alright, just keep on moving
it’s alright, just keep on moving
it’s alright, alright, so let’s make it right
 
On a Replacements kick now, ffs :D

You take the skyway, high above the busy little one-way
In my stupid hat and gloves, at night I lie awake
Wonderin' if I'll sleep
Wonderin' if we'll meet out in the street

But you take the skyway
It don't move at all like a subway
It's got bums when it's cold like any other place
It's warm up inside
Sittin' down and waitin' for a ride
Beneath the skyway

Oh, then one day, I saw you walkin' down that little one-way
Where, the place I'd catch my ride most everyday
There wasn't a damn thing I could do or say
Up in the skyway

Skyway
Skyway (sky away)
 
a tasty bit o'Korn

This time, taking it away
I've got a problem
With me getting in the way
Not by design
So I take my face and bash it into a mirror
I won't have to see the pain (pain, pain)

This state is elevating, as the hurt turns into hating
Anticipating all the fucked up feelings again

The hurt inside is fading
This shits gone way too far
All this time I've been waiting
Oh I cannot grieve anymore
For once inside awaking
I'm done, I'm not a whore
You've taken everything
and, Oh I cannot give anymore

My mind's done with this
Ok, I've got a question
Can I throw it all away?
Take back what's mine
So I take my time, guiding the blade down the line
Each cut closer to the vein (pain, pain

This state is elevating, as the hurt turns into hating
Anticipating all the fucked up feelings again

The hurt inside is fading
This shits gone way too far
All this time I've been waiting
Oh I cannot grieve anymore
For once inside awaking
I'm done, I'm not a whore
You've taken everything
and, Oh I cannot give anymore

I'm here to stay (bring it down)
I'm here to stay (bring it down)
I'm here to stay (bring it down)
I'm here to stay

Bring it down
Bring it down
Bring it down
Bring it down

Gonna break it down
Gonna break it down
Gonna break it down
Gonna break it down
Gonna break it down
Gonna break it down
Gonna break it down
GONNA BREAK IT!

This state is elevating, as the hurt turns into hating
Anticipating all the fucked up feelings again

The hurt inside is fading
This shits gone way too far
All this time I've been waiting
Oh I cannot grieve anymore
For once inside awaking
I'm done, I'm not a whore
You've taken everything
and, Oh I cannot give anymore

Give anymore
Give anymore
Give anymore
Give anymore
 
A thought that never changes
Remains a stupid lie
It's never been quite the same
No hearing or breathing
No movement, no colors
Just silence

Rise and fall of shame
A search that shall remain
We asked you what you'd seen
You said you didn't care

Sound formed in a vacuum
May seem a waste of time
It's always been just the same
No hearing or breathing
No movement no lyrics
Just nothing

The sign that leads the way
The path we can not take
You've caught me at a bad time
So why don't you piss off
 
On a thousand islands in the sea
I see a thousand people just like me
A hundred unions in the snow
I watch them walking, falling in a row
We live always underground
Its going to be so quiet in here tonight
A thousand islands in the sea
It's a shame

And a hundred years ago A sailor
trod this ground I stood upon
Take me away everyone
When it hurts thou

From my head to my toes
From the words in the book
I see a vision that would bring me luck
From my head to my toes
To my teeth, through my nose
You get these words wrong
You get these words wrong
Everytime
You get these words wrong
I just smile

But from my head to my toes
From my knees to my eyes
Everytime I watch the sky
For these last few days leave me alone
But for these last few days leave me alone
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
 
Oh I am just a student, sir, and only want to learn
But it's hard to read through the risin' smoke
from the books that you like to burn
So I'd like to make a promise and I'd like to make a vow
That when I've got something to say, sir, I'm gonna say it now

Oh you've given me a number and you've taken off my name
To get around this campus why you almost need a plane
And you're supporting Chang Kai-Shek, while I'm supporting Mao
So when I've got something to say, sir, I'm gonna say it now

I wish that you'd make up your mind, I wish that you'd decide
That I should live as freely as those who live outside
Cause we also are entitled to the rights to be endowed
And when I've got something to say, sir, I'm gonna say it now

Ooh, you'd like to be my father you'd like to be my Dad
And give me kisses when I'm good and spank me when I'm bad
But since I've left my parents I've forgotten how to bow
So when I've got something to say, sir, I'm gonna say it now

And things they might be different if I was here alone
But I've got a friend or two who no longer live at home
And we'll respect our elders just as long as they allow
That when I've got something to say, sir, I'm gonna say it now

I've read of other countries where the students take a stand
Maybe even help to overthrow the leaders of the land
Now I wouldn't go so far to say we're also learnin' how
But when I've got something to say, sir, I'm gonna say it now

So keep right on a-talkin' and tell us what to do
If nobody listens my apologies to you
And I know that you were younger once 'cause you sure are older now
And when I've got something to say, sir, I'm gonna say it now

Oh I am just a student sir, and only want to learn
But it's hard to read through the risin' smoke from the books
that you like to burn
So I'd like to make a promise and I'd like to make a vow
That when I've got something to say, sir, I'm gonna say it now
 
I wanna start from
Before the beginning
Loot wine, "Be mine, and
Then let's stay out for the night"
Ride via Parkside
Semi-perilous lives
Jeer the lights in the windows
Of all safe and stable homes
(But wondering then, well what
Could peace of mind be like ?)
Anyway do you want to hear
Our story, or not ?
As the Fulham Road lights
Stretch and invite into the night
From a Stevenage overspill
We'd kill to live around
SW6 - with someone like you
Keep thieves' hours
With someone like you
...As long as it slides
You stalk the house
In a low-cut blouse :
"Oh Christ, another stifled
Friday night !"
And the Fulham Road lights
Stretch and invite into the night
Well, I was fifteen
What could I know ?
When the gulf between
All the things I need
And the things I receive
Is an ancient ocean
Wide, wild, lost, uncrossed
Still I maintain there's nothing
Wrong with you
You do all that you do
Because it's all you can do
Well, I was fifteen
Where could I go ?
With a soul full of loathing
For stinging bureaucracy
Making it anything
Other than easy
For working girls like me
With my hands on my head
I flop on your bed
With a head full of dread
For all I've ever said
Maladjusted, maladjusted
Maladjusted maladjusted
Never to be trusted
Oh, never to be trusted
There's nothing wrong with you, oh
There's nothing wrong with you, oh
There's nothing wrong with you, oh
There's nothing wrong with you
 
You gave me such a bad time, tried to hurt me but now I'm leaving

Thorn in my side, you know that's all you ever were
A bundle of lies, you know that's all that it was worth
I should have known better but I trusted you at first
I should have known better but I got what I deserved

To run away from you (Run, run, run, run) was all that I could do (Run, run, run, run)
To run away from you (Run, run, run, run) was all that I could do (Run, run, run, run)
To run away from you (Run, run, run, run) was all that I could do (Run, run, run, run)
To run away from you (Run, run, run, run) was all that I could do

Thorn in my side, you know that's all you'll ever be
So don't think you know better 'cause that's what you mean to me
I was feeling complicated, I was feeling low
Now everytime I think of you, I shiver to the bone

To run away from you (Run, run, run, run) was all that I could do (Run, run, run, run)
To run away from you (Run, run, run, run)

(Run, run, run, run) (Run, run, run, run) (Run, run, run, run) (Run, run, run, run)
I say (Run, run, run, run) (Run, run, run, run)
I say (Run, run, run, run) (Run, run, run, run)
I say (Run, run, run, run)
To run away from you (Run, run, run, run) was all that I could do (I say) (Run, run, run, run)
To run away from you (Run, run, run, run) was all that I could do (I say) (Run, run, run, run)
(Run, run, run, run) (I say) (Run, run, run, run)
 
I remember when you came
I can just recall that day
Unexpected, undetected
If Id have known I still would have done it.

So little time, so long to wait
A paradise, within your eyes
All the things I could tell you
All the things I could show you.

Youre my waking thought
Youre the smile on my lips
I dream I see your face
I see and dream of you.

You were safe and warm
I was in your hands
We were moved in time
To another space.

Somewhere, not here
Somewhere, not here
So, little time
So, little time.

You were safe and warm
I was in your hands
We were moved in time
To another space.

A thousand miles away
Id like to fly to you.

I immerse myself
I dream, I see your face
I see, I dream of you
If you were here wed watch
If you were here wed see.

Youre my waking thought
Youre the smile on my lips.

You were safe and warm
I was in your hands
We were moved in time
To another space.

Somewhere, not here
I know you are somewhere, not here
Youre my waking thought
Youre the smile on my lips
Are you thinking of me
Do I invade your sleep
A paradise, a paradise
Within your eyes.

I remember when you came
I can just recall that day
Somewhere not here
Somewhere not here
Somewhere.
 
We've got photographs of men on the moon
We've got water that is good for us
We've got coffee that's instantaneous
We've got buildings that are very tall
We've got cigarettes that are low in tar
We've got policemen can tell us who we are
We can reproduce a work of art
We've got missiles can tear the world apart
Good, good, good, good, good, good technology

We've got trains that run underground
Aeroplanes that fly very fast
We've got music that is popular
We've got machines that sound like orchestras
We've got ability to transplant a heart
We've got freezers full of body parts
We've got computers that can find us friends
We know roughly when the world will end
Good, good, good, good, good, good technology

We've got animals with transistors in
We've got pills that can make you slim
We've got factories turning frozen chickens out
We've got ovens that cook in seconds flat
We've got plastics that are indestructible
We've got deodorants that make us smell of flowers
We've got detergents to clean up the sea
We've got sounds can turn you inside out

Sometimes I wonder what it is all about
There's lots of leisure time to sit and work it out
There's a TV show I've got to see
Good, good, good, good, good, good technology
Good technology

Red Guitars FTW!

Lost my friend to knitting, lost my nerve for crime.
Lost my sense of direction, wasted so much time.
I though I had a duty, to put myself about.
Saw my life in colour, when the reality is black and white.

Sung my song of sorrow, squeezed my memory dry.
Time to ring the changes, my but don't time fl-y!

Do it or don't do it do it right, or give your life to others.
Do it or don't do it do it right, forget the colours.

So take yourself in hand, bleach the colours from your mind.
Remember what I told you and live in black and white.
Don't try to live in colour, save it for your dreams.
These four walls that surround me, surround you to - oh yes they do, yes they do!

Life within, life within four walls.
Life within, life within four walls.

These four walls surround me, four walls close me in.
These four walls surround me, four walls close me i-i-i-in.
These four walls surround me, four walls close me in.
These four walls surround me, four walls close me in

innit :D

the blog you found's very good, by the way, as is the author's other blog :)


http://hypem.com/track/521807/The+National-Beautiful+Head


You're walking taller than you should
The air is thin around your beautiful head
You're saying things with your mouth to me
That I don't recognize
You're aware of yourself lately

Redefining yourself
Designing yourself
You haven't looked at me forever
Got a diagram of your associations
A strategy
You're weighing your options

What would you trade me for?
You're measuring me lately
And I can tell
And I can tell I'm losing weight
You're measuring me lately
You're dressing me

Do not tell me I've changed
You're just raising your standards
Do not give me away
I am the same
I am the same

Have you found him?
Have you told him everything?
Does he say he feels bad about all this?
You've shown tenderness for me
Tenderness for me
To him

Do not tell me I've changed
You're just raising your standards
Do not give me away
I am the same
I am the same
 
The screen door slams
Mary' dress waves
Like a vision she dances across the porch
As the radio plays
Roy Orbison singing for the lonely
Hey that's me and I want you only
Don't turn me home again
I just can't face myself alone again
Don't run back inside
Darling you know just what I'm here for
So you're scared and you're thinking
That maybe we ain't that young anymore
Show a little faith there's magic in the night
You ain't a beauty but hey you're alright
Oh and that's alright with me

You can hide 'neath your covers
And study your pain
Make crosses from your lovers
Throw roses in the rain
Waste your summer praying in vain
For a saviour to rise from these streets
Well now I'm no hero
That's understood
All the redemption I can offer girl
Is beneath this dirty hood
With a chance to make it good somehow
Hey what else can we do now ?
Except roll down the window
And let the wind blow
Back your hair
Well the night's busting open
These two lanes will take us anywhere
We got one last chance to make it real
To trade in these wings on some wheels
Climb in back
Heaven's waiting on down the tracks
Oh-oh come take my hand
We're riding out tonight to case the promised land
Oh-oh Thunder Road oh Thunder Road
Lying out there like a killer in the sun
Hey I know it's late we can make it if we run
Oh Thunder Road sit tight take hold
Thunder Road

Well I got this guitar
And I learned how to make it talk
And my car's out back
If you're ready to take that long walk
From your front porch to my front seat
The door's open but the ride it ain't free
And I know you're lonely
For words that I ain't spoken
But tonight we'll be free
All the promises'll be broken
There were ghosts in the eyes
Of all the boys you sent away
They haunt this dusty beach road
In the skeleton frames of burned out Chevrolets
They scream your name at night in the street
Your graduation gown lies in rags at their feet
And in the lonely cool before dawn
You hear their engines roaring on
But when you get to the porch they're gone
On the wind so Mary climb in
It's town full of losers
And I'm pulling out of here to win
 
Touch my hand
It's only me, listen
I'm here.

Come to stand
In sultry fields
With you.

And now
Old dummy day
I know
Is over this way.

I'm laughing
Saw you gonna kiss me
You see
Yeah as I said.

One day she won't
A lonely bird
Alone.

Judgement day
Saw the world it's gone
Unheard.

Sold the sea
A lot how it feels to me.

I hate the word it's sad to see
I take your weight
And your heart fades away
Today a renegade
To lay in woods
By the pheasants.

I mean it
You don't
Force on my head
Kill our nightmare.

A lonely bird, a lonely bird
A lonely bird, a lonely bird
A lonely bird, alone.

Colour me
Cover me in the colour that reminds you
Solemnly.

Could make the same mistake
And you would never know
That I am, that I am
Alone, now.

Something, something
Tells me that you
Have something
On, all of us now
You're heaven
Taking over me now
Colour me hate
Raw little nerve
Colour me and pull us
Only home
Me home.

Hold the sun down
Hold the sun down
Hold the moon down
Leave me to rest
Want the world man
Too the words out
Only relief is
To slip through the nets
Hold a minute
And stop a minute
And go, oh oh
Hold a minute
You said to me
Said to me and
Breath, breath, breath, breath, breath ...
You said it to me
Sometime later.
 
this. again.

I remember when you came
I can just recall that day
Unexpected, undetected
If Id have known I still would have done it.

So little time, so long to wait
A paradise, within your eyes
All the things I could tell you
All the things I could show you.

Youre my waking thought
Youre the smile on my lips
I dream I see your face
I see and dream of you.

You were safe and warm
I was in your hands
We were moved in time
To another space.

Somewhere, not here
Somewhere, not here
So, little time
So, little time.

You were safe and warm
I was in your hands
We were moved in time
To another space.

A thousand miles away
Id like to fly to you.

I immerse myself
I dream, I see your face
I see, I dream of you
If you were here we'd watch
If you were here we'd see.

Youre my waking thought
Youre the smile on my lips.

You were safe and warm
I was in your hands
We were moved in time
To another space.

Somewhere, not here
I know you are somewhere, not here
Youre my waking thought
Youre the smile on my lips
Are you thinking of me
Do I invade your sleep
A paradise, a paradise
Within your eyes.

I remember when you came
I can just recall that day
Somewhere not here
Somewhere not here
Somewhere.

Lost my friend to knitting, lost my nerve for crime.
Lost my sense of direction, wasted so much time.
I though I had a duty, to put myself about.
Saw my life in colour, when the reality is black and white.

Sung my song of sorrow, squeezed my memory dry.
Time to ring the changes, my but don't time fl-y!

Do it or don't do it do it right, or give your life to others.
Do it or don't do it do it right, forget the colours.

So take yourself in hand, bleach the colours from your mind.
Remember what I told you and live in black and white.
Don't try to live in colour, save it for your dreams.
These four walls that surround me, surround you to - oh yes they do, yes they do!

Life within, life within four walls.
Life within, life within four walls.

These four walls surround me, four walls close me in.
These four walls surround me, four walls close me i-i-i-in.
These four walls surround me, four walls close me in.
These four walls surround me, four walls close me in

i think i need to hear this :)
 
I went out walking the other day
The wind hung wet around my neck
My head it rung with screams and groans
From the night I spent amongst her bones
I passed beside the mission house
Where that mad old buzzard, the reverend,
Shrieked and flapped about life after your dead
Well, I thought about my friend, michel
How they rolled him in linoleum
And shot him in the neck
A bloody halo, like a think-bubble
Circling his head
And I bellowed at the firmament
Looks like the rains are hear to stay
And the rain pissed down upon me
And washed me all away
Saying

Papa wont leave you, henry
Papa wont leave you, boy
Papa wont leave you, henry
Papa wont leave you, boy
Well, the road is long
And the road is hard
And many fall by the side
But papa wont leave you, henry
So there aint no need to cry

And I went on down the road
He went on down the road
And I went on down the road
He went on down the road

Well, the moon it looked exhausted
Like something you should pity
Spent an age-spotted
Above the sizzling wires of the city
Well, it reminded me of her face
Her bleached and hungry eyes
Her hair was like a curtain
Falling open with the laughter
And closing with the lies
But the ghost of her still lingers on
Though shes passed through me
And is gone
The slum dogs, they are barking
And the rain children on the streets
And the tears that we will weep today
Will all be washed away
By the tears that we will weep again tomorrow

Papa wont leave you, henry
Papa wont leave you, boy
Papa wont leave you, henry
Papa wont leave you, boy
For the road is long
And the road is hard
And many fall by the side
But papa wont leave you, henry
So there aint no need to cry

And I went on down the road
He went on down the road
And I went on down the road
He went on down the road

And I came upon a little house
A little house upon a hill
And I entered through, the curtain hissed
Into the house with its blood-red bowels
Where wet-lipped women with greasy fists
Crawled the ceilings and the walls
They filled me full of drink
And led me round the rooms
Naked and cold and grinning
Until everything went black
And I came down spinning
I awoke so drunk and full of rage
That I could hardly speak
A fag in a whale-bone corset
Draping his dick across my cheek
And its into the shame
And its into a guilt
And its into the fucking fray
And the walls ran red around me
A warm arterial spray
Saying

Papa wont leave you, henry
Papa wont leave you, boy
Papa wont leave you, henry
Papa wont leave you, boy
Well, the night is dark
And the night is deep
And its jaws are open wide
But papa wont leave you, henry
So there aint no need to cry

And I went on down the road
He went on down the road
And I went on down the road
He went on down the road

Its the rainy season where Im living
Death comes leaping out of every doorway
Wasting you for money, for your clothes
And for your nothing
Entire towns being washed away
Favelas exploding on inflammable spillways
Lynch-mobs, death squads, babies being born without brains
The mad heat and the relentless rains
And if you stick your arm into that hole
It comes out sheared off to the bone
And with her kisses bubbling on my lips
I swiped the rain and nearly missed
And I went on down the road
He went on down the road
Singing

Papa wont leave you, henry
Papa wont leave you, boy
Papa wont leave you, henry
Papa wont leave you, boy
Well, the road is long
And the road is hard
And many fall by the side
But papa wont leave you, henry
So there aint no need to cry

And I went on down the road
He went on down the road
And I went on down the road
He went on down the road
Bent beneath my heavy load
Under his heavy load
Yeah, I went on down the road
Yeah, he went on down the road

Woah, woah
Woah, woah
Woah, woah
Woah, woah
And I went on down that road

Girl on girl, in your dreams
Girls on top, in between
Girls together, girls alone
In your dreams, in your dreams

Boy on boy, boys on top
Boys together, boys don't stop
Being boys, in your dreams
In your dreams, in your dreams

I've been thinking about you (Thinking about you)
Always thinking about you
Can't stop thinking about you (Thinking about you)
In your dreams, in your dreams

Girl on bus, girl on Tube
Brush against you, look at you
Catch your eye, conversation
In your dreams, in your dreams

I've been thinking about you (Thinking about you)
Always thinking about you
Can't stop thinking about you (Thinking about you)
In your dreams, in your dreams

In your dreams
In your dreams
In your dreams
In your dreams

I've been thinking about you (Thinking about you)
Always thinking about you
Can't stop thinking about you (Thinking about you)
In your dreams, in your dreams

Late at night, in your dream
You're not shy, it's so easy
All the colours of the rainbow
In your dreams, in your dreams

I've been thinking about you (Thinking about you)
Always thinking about you
Can't stop thinking about you (Thinking about you)
In your dreams
I've been thinking about you (Thinking about you)
Always thinking about you
Can't stop thinking about you (Thinking about you)
In your dreams, in your dreams
 
Someone told me
It's all happening at the zoo.

I do believe it,
I do believe it's true.

It's a light and tumble journey
From the East Side to the park;
Just a fine and fancy ramble
To the zoo.

But you can take the crosstown bus
If it's raining or it's cold,
And the animals will love it
If you do.

Somethin' tells me
It's all happening at the zoo.

The monkeys stand for honesty,
Giraffes are insincere,
And the elephants are kindly but
They're dumb.
Orangutans are skeptical
Of changes in their cages,
And the zookeeper is very fond of rum.

Zebras are reactionaries,
Antelopes are missionaries,
Pigeons plot in secrecy,
And hamsters turn on frequently.
What a gas! You gotta come and see
At the zoo.
