1.Time Comes Round To Pass

Yeah alright mmh yeah
Sit back, relax
Look at everything through your magnifying-glass

Yeah alright mmh yeah
Lay low, don't go
Show me everything that i don't know

Yeah alright mmh yeah
And leave the door wide open
For time will be coming round to pass
It always does yeah alright yeah mmh

Lay low, don't go
Tell me everything i oughta know
Yeah alright yeah mmh
And sweetpie don't lie
Give me all you got,
Cause i can take alot more than that
And leave the door wide open
For time will be coming round to pass
It always does
Yeah alright mmh yeah
Sit back, relax
Look at everything through your magnifying-glass
Yeah alright mmh yeah
Sweetpie, don't lie
Tell me everything that you've been holding back
I can take alot more than that
I can take alot more than that

Lovely, it's me
Calling you from far across the sea
Every now and then i have to follow time
And find out where it's gone
And where i'm at
Where it's gone
And where i'm at
Where it's gone
And where i'm at
And that's that


2.No Amends

I should like to remember
How i used to forget you
Instead i try and discover
A new way to get you
Face down in the gutter
I can't look at the stars
But as i taste this old mud here
I can sense that you are
Not too far from home too far from
From your cozy little bed there
With an angry little moan
Think of hitting me harder
Shoot me back into the
Past that brought me thought me up to
Haunt you taunt you till you learned that
This is the point of no return
No more deals and no pretence
This is the point of no return
No more open-heart offence
This is the point of no return
No more petty crimes and no amends
No amends
No amends

I should like to remember
How i used to forget you
Instead i try and discover
A new way to get you
Into my life my world my soul
My poor mind revolves around you-
Sweet little kitten
You - a chirpy little bird
I am thoroughly smitten
By the softness of the
Word that lays on your tongue your lips
The your breath make believe no less than
This is the point of no return
No more deals.....

Not too far from home too far from
Feeling too alone to stand straight through the
Past that brought me thought me up to
Haunt you taunt you till you had enough
Of my life my world my soul
My poor mind revolves around your
Word that lays on your tongue your lips
Your breath make believe no less than
This is the point of no return
No more deals and no pretence
This is the point of no return
No more open-heart offence
This is the point of no return
No more petty crimes and no amends
No amends
No amends


3.Don't Cry A River For Me(Be Cool)

Do i stay
Do i go
Do i cool it
Do i blow
Blow a fuse
Burn it down
Step right in
Turn around
Here to go
Reckoning
There's a finger
Beckoning
This is me
Changing
I am leaving
I am leaving
A loner a loon
Howling at the moon
Write it in the sky
Rock n roll will never die
And
I thank you very much
If you don't
Cry
A river for me
I have drowned before-so don't you
Cry cry
A river for me
I only got a few minutes to go
Don't cry
A river for me
I learned how to swim
And i learned how to move-so
Be cool
Cool

Harder
You want it harder
By now
I should be smarter
Sure
Bold and beatified
Anything but blue-eyed
Get your gun
Kill me quick
Before i play another trick
You can do the pony
The bony malony
You can do the watusi
Believe in what you see
And i thank you very much
If you don't
Cry
A river for me
I have drowned before-so don't you
Cry cry
A river for me
I only got
A few minutes to go
Don't cry
A river for me
I learned how to swim and
I learned how to move-so
Be cool
Cool


4.Shoot From The Hip

Oh yeah
Shoot from the hip
Take a trip to hell
And back
Heave on
Lazy devil
Oh yeah
Shoot from the hip
Take a trip to hell
And back
Heave on
Lazy devil
I will always love you
I will always love you

Go play
Your lovely fiddle lusciously
While your crazy mother sings
She pours
Post-atomic poetry all over you
All over me
Post-atomic holy holy shit

Go play
And spray-paint daddy
For he's drunk and stoned and smelly
Drooling visions from his butt
Like a sweating bible-book
With a monkey
With a monkey
With a donkey
On his back

Oh yeah
Shoot from the hip
Take a trip to hell
And back...

Go play
I'll pay
For the white lies you howled
At a yellow moon
In a very blue sky
Too blue to be true
And a very far cry
From the love
From the kind of lusty love
We kill for
We spill our juice for
We want to sink our teeth in
Right down
To the core

Oh yeah
Shoot from the hip
Take a trip to hell
And back
Heave on
Lazy devil
Oh yeah
Shoot from the hip
Take a trip to hell
And back
Heave on
Lazy devil
I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you


5.Tomorrow

Tomorrow
Tomorrow never comes
What kind of a fool do they take me for
Tomorrow
A resting place for bums
A trap set in the slums
But i know the score
I won't take no for an answer
I was born to be a dancer now yeah

Tomorrow
Tomorrow as they say
Another working day and another chore
Tomorrow
An awful price to pay
I gave up yesterday and they still want more
They are bound to compare me
To fred astaire when i'm done yeah

Anyone who feels the rythm moving through
Knows it's gonna do'em good to let the music burst out
When you feel it show it let the people know it
Let your laughter loose until your scream becomes a loveshout
Aahaaaahaaa

Tomorrow
Tomorrow's far away
Tomorrow as they say is reserved for dreams
Tomorrow
Tomorrow's looking grey
A playground always locked
Trains no winning teams
I won't take no for an answer
I was born to be a dancer now yeah


6.Please Don't Make Me Happy

Live this life for me
Live it out there in here
Where i long to be
Way out there and greedy
For the basic needs
Tell me more about them
Are they bitter or sweet

Read this word to me
Does it spell l.o.v.e
And the space between us
Will it ever disappear
Like you did before
Like you always seem to do
When i ask you to
You say

Please don't make me happy
I don't want to cry
I had all the tears i can
Swallow in a while

Sing a song to me
Play one more and then some
Singing is like breathing
Purest freshest cleanest air
All the simple things
Everybody out here knows what they are but you
You say

Please don't make me happy
I don't want to cry
I had all the tears i can
Swallow in a while

I am glad for you know what is good
And what is bad
What is a bore and what is fun and
Happiness is so much more than
Just a warm gun
Yes it is!
Yes it is!
Yes it is!
Here i go again
I will go much further than you will ever know
For you say

Please don't make me happy
I don't want to cry
I had all the tears i can
Swallow in a while


7.On Tv Forever

How fast can you undress on tv
You think you do it for me
When you get ugly on tv
You think you do it for me
But
Once would be grand
Once would be splendid
And then again
Just one such moment on tv
Is fine

How slow can you get restless on tv
You think you do it for me
When you get restless
You milk your dream
The next one comes easy
Like cream
Yet
Once would be grand
Once would be splendid
And then again
Just one such moment on tv
Is fine with me

How slow can you get restless on tv
You think you can do it
Doing it for me

Here comes a lazy beat
With lazy fingers
And yeah
Very me
Very sweet on tv

For mother brother
Loveboy lovegirl on tv
And

I'm naked
And late for the show
Naked and languid and low
Late for the show

Aren't they deliciously strange
When they grow up to be cows

But
Once would be grand
Once would be splendid
And then again
Just one such moment on tv
Is fine with me


8.Your Aching Heart

Look around
This is the landscape that we're in
There is the house we've built
And there's our yellow dustbin
And just behind those trees
You can see the little barn
We used to jump into the hay
Like we were diving in the ocean

Walk through the garden now
And smell them herbs and spices
Go strolling up that hill
To where the rotting stake is
You are looking down on me
And i am looking up to you
Think again
Now think again
About what you want do

All the promises you make i cannot keep
All the dreams you bring about are far too deep
And one more thing to make this misery complete
I wanna know
Cause i don't know
Just why you want to go

Look around
This is the landscape that we're in
Gracefully surging fields
A thunderbolt enlightening
The narrow path we used to walk
As if we'd sail the seven seas
To hide away and booze and fuck
Like sailors out on shore-leave

All the promises you make i cannot keep
All the dreams you bring about are far too deep
And one more thing to make this misery complete:
It seems you played the game
Just a little smarter
And while my brittle raft will sink
You go walking on the water

Look around
This is the landscape that we're in
The lake the trees the birds and bees
And everything's revolving
The clouds between the sky and i
Slowly drift apart
The rain will wash away the tears
And soothe your aching heart

All the promises you make i cannot keep
All the dreams you bring about are far too deep
And one more thing...


9.One Sad Boy

He is one sad boy
But he would'nt shed a tear
He is one sad boy
With a conviction
He is one sad boy
Which is obvious to me
For he claims to be happy
With a vengeance

And from all the girls in his world
He had to love the one
That pokes him in the eye
Whenever his liveliness is souldeep
And his smile comes from within
And starts caressing her distressing boring self
With an idea
He's one sad boy
Busy proving differently
As he claims to be happy
With a vengeance

He is swimming in her pool of self-conceit
Swimming round in circles
While the water's getting turbid
Swimming round in circles
When she's gone

He is one sad boy
Though he never sheds a tear
He is one sad boy
With a conviction
He is one sad boy
Which is obvious to me
For he claims to be happy
With a vengeance

And from all the souls in his world he tries
To win the heart of those who just
Could'nt give a damn
Unless pretending to
Would come in handy
When times are rough and roads are sandy
For jealousy is their
Driving motion

He is swimming in their pool of self-conceit
Swimming round in circles
While the water's getting turbid
Swimming round in circles
When they 're gone


10.Now And Then

All that glitters is gold
Gold is what she gave me
Like the sun i see her fade
Away into the cold
On this blurred photograph
She offers me her smile
There is something in her eyes
That makes me tremble even now
And then
I sigh

All that twinkles are tears
There goes my reflection
Down her cheeks into
The corner of her mouth
On this blurred photograph
She offers me her smile
There is something in her eyes
That makes me tremble even now
And then
I sigh

On this blurred photograph
She offers me her smile
There is something in her eyes
That makes me tremble even now

All that matters at times
A simple sign
All that matters sometimes
Is easy to forget
I try not to
I don't want to
But i have to
Now and then


11.Everywhere Is Resurrection

I save you
From your own hand
I take you
Take you home and
I show you
How to chase them clouds away
Feel that brand new day

Hello darling
The tide is rising high
Your ship is coming in
I can see it coming in
And almost every
Single chance has oubled
The joker's on your hand
And everywhere is resurrection

I save you
From your own hand
I take you
I take you home and
I show you
How to chase them clouds away
And feel that brand new day

Oh yeah
But you're so tired
You've been giving best of best
Been defying all the rest
Need to hold your precious breath
You need to close your pretty eyes
I guess
You just ran out of lies

Wake up sweet-heart
The sun is way up high
Drown out your sad ol' sigh
With eternal jollification
Almost every
Petty doubt has vanished
Negation's been abolished
And everywhere is resurrection-aha-ahaa

I save you
From your own hand
I take you
Take you home and
I show you
How to chase them clouds away
And greet that brand new day
Chase them clouds away
Feel that brand new day
Chase them clouds away
Feel that brand new day
Chase them clouds away
Feel that brand new day...
