Homosapien

Pete Shelley Homosapien Lyrics
1.Homosapien

I'm the shy boy
You're the coy boy
And you know we're
Homosapien too
I'm the cruiser
You're the loser
Me and you sir
Homosapien too
Homosuperior
In my interior
But from the skin out
I'm homosapien too
And you're homosapien too
And i'm homosapien like you
And we're homosapien too

And i think of your eyes in the dark and i see the star
And i look to the light and i might wonder right where you are
All the gods in the sky way up high see the world spinning
'round
But the sun and the moon and the stars are so far from the
ground

I'm the shy boy
You're the coy boy
And you know we're
Homosapien too
I'm the cruiser
You're the loser
Me and you sir
Homosapien too
Homosuperior
In my interior
But from the skin out
I'm homosapien too
And you're homosapien too
And i'm homosapien like you
And we're homosapien too

And the worlds built of age are a stage where we act out our
lives
And the words in the script seem to fit 'cept we have some
surprise
I just want this to last or my future is past and all gone
And if this is the case then i'll lose in life's race from now
on

Homosuperior
In my interior
But from the skin out
I'm homosapien too
And you're homosapien too
And i'm homosapien like you
And we're homosapien too

And i just hope and pray that the day of our love is at hand
You and i, me and you, we will be one from two, understand?
And the world is so wrong that i hope that we'll be strong
enough
For we are on our own and the only thing known is our love
I don't wanna classify you like an animal in the zoo
But it seems good to me to know that you're homosapien too

I'm the shy boy
You're the coy boy

I don't wanna classify you like an animal in the zoo
But it seems good to me to know that you're homosapien too
I don't wanna classify you like an animal in the zoo
But it seems good to me to know that you're homosapien too
I don't wanna classify you like an animal in the zoo
But it seems good to me to know that you're homosapien too


2.Yesterday's Not Here

Looking back on life is such a retrospective thing
Hoping for some nice advice that only you could bring
But you came as in a storm when the woolly dreams were shorn off
my back
Suffer cold reality's sting

All my life that i remember was a drag
Even though it wasn't so good it was all that i'd had
Now i've seen it slip away and tomorrow's just another day
To find relief from feeling sad

Yesterday's not here no more
It's gone for good and i'm glad 'cos it made me sore
All the things that might have been
Are seen by me as regrets that my memory stores

All my life that i remember was a drag
Even though it wasn't so good it was all that i'd had
Now i've seen it slip away and tomorrow's just another day
To find relief from feeling sad

Yesterday's not here no more
It's gone for good and i'm glad 'cos it made me sore
All the things that might have been
Are seen by me as regrets that my memory stores

But from all my time the things i have seen
Have i seen you or have i been
A mirror of what you wanted to be
Just almost like you were to me
To me, to me, to me

Yesterday's not here no more
It's gone for good and i'm glad 'cos it made me sore
All the things that might have been
Are seen by me as regrets that my memory stores

Yesterday's not here no more
Oh yesterday's not here no more
Oh yesterday's not here no more
Oh yesterday's not here no more
Oh yesterday's not here no more


3.I Generate A Feeling

When i close my eyes i have a world inside of me
Peopled by my thoughts of you and how things ought to be
Here i spend my time and do the things i want to do
Helps to pass the day and it keeps me happy too

I, i, i generate a feeling

In my psychic scenery there's a special place i go
Here i am recharged with energy from down below
Nothing is between all we feel is just inside
Generate that feeling and the world will come alive

I, i, i generate a feeling

Listening to the rhythm that i hear within my brain
Everything is different my perceptions aren't the same
When i can't believe the wonder that surrounds me
I just reach deep inside and switch on my euphoria

I, i, i generate a feeling
I, i, i generate a feeling


4.Keats' Song

I never knew that
Party talk is oh so dull
Oh what fun to chat
No thanks my glass is full
I looked in your eyes
And blushed with suprise

I'd met you before
Hello i beg you pardon
Couldn't hear 'bove the roar
Why not let's go in the garden?
You led the way
Oh my it's my day

We looked at a flower
Night-scented so you said
We talked for an hour
Or more and then you read
From the book of my mind
Some words of poetry of a kind

We said our goodbyes
Au revoir they say in french
My taxi rolled by
I slouched on the upholstered bench
Oh keats was so clever
A thing of beauty is a joy for ever


5.Qu'est-ce Que C'est Que Ca?

Have you seen them in the skies?
I've been searching for the things i cannot hide
Wishes for me
Wishes for you
Would it makes us happy if our wishes all came true?
Will i ever find the answer

To the questions that i ask myself sometimes?
Is there a reason or is that just in my mind?
Why am i here ?
Why are you there?
Are we all that different that there's nothing we can share?
Will i ever find the answer?
Is there even an answer?

Qu'est-ce que c'est que ca?
I wonder who knows?
Qu'est-ce que c'est que ca?
La meme chose

Is there anybody out there?

I've been thinking
Do we really have a soul?
Is there a heaven?
Do you believe all that you're told?
Salvation for you
Damnation for me
Is this all that there is or are there things that we can't see?
Maybe meditation could improve my concentration
I need an indication to establish a relation

Qu'est-ce que c'est que ca?
I wonder who knows?
Qu'est-ce que c'est que ca?
La meme chose

And i wonder
I wonder if you wonder too

Qu'est-ce que c'est que ca?
I wonder who knows?
Qu'est-ce que c'est que ca?
La meme chose

Qu'est-ce que c'est que ca?
I wonder who knows?
Qu'est-ce que c'est que ca?
La meme chose


6.I Don't Know What It Is

I don't know what it is but
It makes me feel i'm crazy
I don't know what it is but
It makes reality hazy
I don't know what it is but
I got the feeling that it might be love

I don't know what it is but
It's a feelin' that moves me
I don't know what it is but
It sends a shiver running through me
I don't know what it is but
I got the feeling that it might be love
It might be love

I don't know what it is but
It makes my heart beat faster
I don't know what it is but
It has become my master
I don't know what it is but
It has a taken control
I don't know what it is but
It's taken my very heart and soul

I don't know what it is but
It's this feelin' that moves me
I don't know what it is but
It sends these shivers running through me
I don't know what it is but
I got the feeling that it might be love
I don't know what it is but
I got the feeling that it might be love
I don't know what it is but
I got the feeling that it might be love
I don't know what it is but
I got the feeling that it might be love


7.Guess I Must Have Been In Love With Myself

Right from the start
I played my part
In this show
What if today
Was yesterday?
Who would know?
Take your time don't worry
There's no need to hurry
Anything can happen given time

Out of the blue
It came to me
What to do
Funny to say
It was that way
Now it's you
Take your time don't worry
There's no need to hurry
Everything can happen given time

You look at me while i'm looking at you
There's nothing in this world that we two couldn't do
I speak of love in a passionate way
Love is emotion what more can i say?
The rate of change is a sign of the times
I have no need to read between the lines
I had no time for anyone else
Guess i must have been in love with myself

Everything's changed
Nothing's the same
As before
Thinking of you
Things that you do
Make me so sure

At the moment i feel like walking through the pouring rain
Once i get my head together nothing will ever be quite the same

You look at me while i'm looking at you
There's nothing in this world that we two couldn't do
I speak of love in a passionate way
Love is emotion what more can i say?
The rate of change is a sign of the times
I have no need to read between the lines
I had no time for anyone else
Guess i must have been in love with myself
Guess i must have been in love with myself
Guess i must have been in love with myself


8.Pusher Man

I met a good man
He had some good stuff
He showed me a bag
And he pulled out the snuff
I had just one try
And that was enough
Water poured from my eye
God stuff this rough snuff

I was wiping my eye
On the edge of my sleeve
When who did i spy?
God damn the police!
I said 'hey look man the fuzz!'
He turned ghostly white
He gave me the bag
And ran outasight!

I leapt on my hog
And i burned up the street
All the traffic had to stop
Cos i couldn't be beat
All the people were scared
As they leapt from my wheels
But i didn't care
I couldn't hear their squeals

I went to my pad
And i crashed on my bed
I kept taking that snuff
Until it blew my head
It was really gunpowder
I a flash in the pan
I a charcoaled cinder
God damn the pusher man

God damn the pusher man
God damn the pusher man
God damn the pusher man
God damn the pusher man
God damn the pusher man
God damn the pusher man
God damn the pusher man
God damn the pusher man


9.Just One Of Those Affairs

I always thought you would
I always knew you could
My mind had the idea running through it
I always thought you might
Sometimes but not just quite
But now we're right baby let's do it

Do it on the landing baby
Do it on the stairs
Don't mind the cat
He licks his paws and purrs
I bet this time
I've taken you unawares
But after all you know
It's just only one of those affairs
One of those affairs
One of those oo yeah
One of those affairs now

I always thought you would
I always knew you could
My mind had the idea running through it
I always thought you might
Sometimes but not just quite
But now we're right baby let's do it

Do it like a lion baby
Do it in our lairs
Do it like the birds and bees
And arctic polar bears
Do it when i'm sleepin'
I'm doing it in my prayers
To god in heaven above
It's just only one of those affairs
One of those affairs
One of those oo yeah
One of those affairs now

Do it like a lion baby
Do it in our lairs
Do it like the birds and bees
And arctic polar bears
Do it when i'm sleepin'
I'm doing it in my prayers
To god in heaven above
It's just only one of those affairs
One of those affairs
One of those oo yeah
One of those affairs now


10.It's Hard Enough Knowing

It's hard enough knowing
And harder still showing
What you feel when you're in love
Well it's ok you say it plain
But i don't mind it's all a game

It's hard to believe in
That you've been deceivin'
Me with all of your lies
I don't know what i ought to do
But i know that i still love you

I've given up wishin'
For what has been missin'
When i've looked in your eyes
You know that it's all up to you
There's nothing else that i can do

In my heart i am prayin'
That you will be stayin'
Here with me by my side
I don't want it to end this way
What else more can i say

It's hard enough knowing
And harder still showing
What you feel when you're in love
Well it's ok you say it plain
But i don't mind it's all a game

It's hard to believe in
That you've been deceivin'
Me with all of your lies
I don't know what i ought to do
But i know that i still love you


11.Witness The Change

In my mind there are mirrors
Reflecting on the past
The shattered hopes and dreams of a future
That was never meant to last

Just turn around now
Tell me what you see
Look all around you
Is this how things could be

Had enough of love neverlasting
But now i know it never will
Hanging around on the off chance
Waiting for that certain thrill

Just turn around now
See what we have done
It's getting late now
The future has begun

Witness the change
Witness the change
Witness the change
Witness the change
Witness the change
Witness the change

Some kinds of love are magical mystical
I wonder how i'd feel
If ever i should be so enchanted
To get a taste of what is real

Just look around now
Tell me what you see
Look all around you
Is this how things could be

I feel the sound of thunder and laughter
It's tearing me apart
I start to fade till all that's remaining is
The echo of my heart

Just look around you
See what we have done
It's getting late now
The future has begun

Witness the change
Witness the change
Witness the change
Witness the change
Witness the change
Witness the change
Witness the change
Witness the change
Witness the change
Witness the change
Witness the change
Witness the change
Witness the change

I have a feeling and i know it will never die
Part of the answer for asking the reason why
Out of the darkness the bright light surrounding me
I am a part of everything i touch and see

I feel the sound of thunder and laughter
It's tearing me apart
I hope that you will remember
The echo of my heart

Witness the change
Witness the change
Witness the change
Witness the change
Witness the change
Witness the change
Witness the change
Witness the change
Witness the change
Witness the change
Witness the change
Witness the change
Witness the change
Witness the change
Witness the change
Witness the change
Witness the change
Witness the change
Witness the change


12.Maxine

Am i awake or trapped inside
Somebody else's dream?
Oh maxine
Is this all real or dope induced
Are things as they all seem?
Oh maxine

I've never been in love before
At least not in this kind
I've seldom felt such happiness
But if i am really in love then
Why is it me because
I didn't think that i was your kind
Not good enough for your love

You see the shape i know i'm in
With only you to blame
Oh maxine
The life i led is long since dead
I do myself resign
To you maxine

I've never been in love before
At least not in this kind
I've seldom felt such happiness
But if i am really in love then
Why is it me because
I didn't think that i was your kind
Not good enough for your love
But c'est la vie so divine
Que sera sera
What will be will be

I've never been in love before
At least not in this kind
I've seldom felt such happiness
But if i am really in love then
Why is it me because
I didn't think that i was your kind
Not good enough for your love
But c'est la vie so divine
Que sera sera
What will be will be

Oh maxine
I love you
Maxine i love you
Oh maxine
Oh maxine


13.In Love With Somebody Else

Everybody's coming to me
For some love oh yeah
I'm popular since you left me you see
All booked up oh yeah
But half of what i want i don't need
Cos you see
I'm in love with somebody else
With a dream whose passion's a dare
And i'm always so unaware

Crazy people coming to me
For their love oh yeah
Nothing's paid so they think it's free
So they think oh yeah
I bet they'll leave this ship if it sinks
They don't see
That they're in love with somebody else
With a dream whose passion's a dare
And they're all so so unaware

I used to think that you were my love
But now i know i was mistaken
But love is what i feel in heart
I may be lonely but i am not forsaken

One day i'll be coming to you
For my love oh yeah
You're the only one thoughts are of
All the time oh yeah
But don't take it to heart when you find
That it's true
That you're in love with somebody else
With a dream whose passion's a dare
And you're always so unaware

You're in love
In love
In love with somebody else

You're in love
In love
In love with somebody else

You're in love
In love
In love with somebody else

You're in love
In love
In love with somebody else


14.Love In Vain

For quite a long time
I was making hard what's easy
I was running 'round in circles
When i bumped into you
Don't tell me that my love's in vain

I've had a second chance
And there's still a million others
Have i been fooling myself
To think that i could fool you
Don't tell me that my love's in vain

Oh worries all around
It's getting dark there's no denying
But just above the clouds
The sky is blue the sun's shining

I've had to much of dreamin'
I'm gonna keep my eyes wide open
Better not believin'
Than believe what's not true
Don't tell me that my love's in vain

If you make up your mind
Would i change so i would notice
Oh won't you tell me
What i ought to do
Don't tell me that my love's in vain

Oh worries all around
It's getting dark there's no denying
But just above the clouds
The sky is blue the sun's shining

Don't tell me that my love's in vain

You've had a second chance
And there's still a million others
You may be fooling youself
But you don't fool me too
Don't tell me that my love's in vain

Don't tell me that my love's in vain
Don't tell me that my love's in vain
Don't tell me that my love's in vain
Don't tell me that my love's in vain
Don't tell me that my love's in vain
