1.Dakota
Thinking back, thinking of you
Summertime think it was June
Yeah think it was June
Laying back, head on the grass
chewing gum having some laughs
Yeah having some laughs.
You made me feel like the one
Made me feel like the one
The one
You made me feel like the one
Made me feel like the one
The one
Drinking back, drinking for two
Drinking with you
When drinking was new
Sleeping in the back of my car
We never went far
Didn't need to go far
You made me feel like the one
Made me feel like the one
The one
You made me feel like the one
Made me feel like the one
The one
I don't know where we are going now
I don't know where we are going now
Wake up call coffee and juice
Remembering you
What happened to you？
I wonder if we'll meet again
Talk about life since then
Talk about why did it end
You made me feel like the one
Made me feel like the one
The one
You made me feel like the one
Made me feel like the one
The one
I don't know where we are going now
I don't know where we are going now
So take a look at me now
So take a look at me now
So take a look at me now
So take a look at me now
So take a look at me now
So take a look at me now
So take a look at me now
So take a look at me now
So take a look at me now
So take a look at me now
So take a look at me now
So take a look at me now
So take a look at me now
So take a look at me now
So take a look at me now
So take a look at me now
So take a look at me now
2.The Bartender And The Thief
When you think about it he's watching
Every word you say hey dazed and
When he's sussed you out he calls her up and out
She comes and hustles us
The bartender and the thief are lovers
Steal what they need like sisters and brothers
Met in a church a night to remember
Robbing the graves of bodies dismembered
He watched the lesbian talk she kissed and
Groped but mostly talked in lust crushed
He couldn't make the call his eyes were
Gripped on licking tongues enough's enough
Failed for once
Long digging gone fishing love drinking
The bartender and the thief are lovers
Steal what they need like sisters and brothers
Met in a church a night to remember
Robbing the graves of bodies dismembered
The bartender and the thief are lovers
Steal what they need like sisters and brothers
Met in a church a night to remember
Robbing the graves of bodies dismembered
Saved what they stole to meet at the alter
Place where they first set eyes on each other
Flew to the sun to start life all over
Set up a bar and robbed all the locals
3.Just Looking
There's things I want
There's things I think I want
There's things I've had
There's things I wanna have
do I want the dreams
the ones we're forced to see
do I want the perfect wife
the word perfect ain't quite right
shopping every day
take it back the next break
they say the more you fly the more you risk your life
I'm just looking I'm not buying
I'm just looking keeps me smiling
a house I seen another coulda' been
you drenched my head and said what I said
you said that life is what you make of it
yet most of us just fake
I'm just looking, I'm not buying
I'm just looking, keeps me smiling
I'm just looking, I'm not buying
I'm just looking, keeps me smiling
I'm just looking, I'm not buying
I'm just looking, keeps me smiling
There's things I want
There's things I think I want
There's things I've had
There's things I wanna have
they say the more you fly the more you risk your life
I'm just looking I'm not buying
I'm just looking keeps me smiling
4.Have a Nice Day
Ba badada ba ba babadub,
Ba badada ba ba babadub,
Ba badada ba ba babadub,
Ba badada ba ba babadub,
San Francisco bay, past pier thirty nine,
Early p.m. can't remember what time,
Got the waiting cab, stopped at the red light,
Address unsure of, but it turned out just right,
It started straight off, 'coming here is hell'
That's his first words, we asked what he meant,
He said 'where ya' from？' we told him our lot,
'When ya' take a holiday, is this what you want？'
So have a nice day,
Have a nice day,
Have a nice day,
Have a nice day,
Lie around all day, having drink to chase,
'Yourself and tourists yeah, that's what I hate',
He said 'we're going wrong, we've all become the same,
We dress the same ways, only our accents change',
So have a nice day,
Have a nice day,
Have a nice day,
Have a nice day,
Ba badada ba ba babadub,
Ba badada ba ba babadub,
Swim in the ocean, that be my dish,
I drive around all day, and kill processed fish,
Its all money gum, no artists anymore,
You're only in it now, to make more, more, more,
So have a nice day,
Have a nice day,
Have a nice day,
Have a nice day,
So have a nice day,
Have a nice day,
So have a nice day,
Have a nice day,
Have a nice day,
5.Local Boy In The Photograph
There's no mistake, I smell that smell
It's that time of year again,
I can taste the air
The clocks go back, railway track
Something blocks the line again
And the train runs late for the first time
A pebble beach, we're underneath,
a pier that's just been painted red
Where I heard the news for the first time
And all the friends lay down the flowers
Sit on the banks and drink for hours
Talk of the way they saw him last
Local boy in the photograph today
He'll always be 23,
yet the train runs on and on
Past the place they found his clothing
There's no mistake, I smell that smell
It's that time of year again,
I can taste the air
The clocks go back, railway track
Something blocks the line again
And the train runs late for the first time today
And all the friends lay down the flowers
Sit on the banks and drink for hours
Talk of the way they saw him last
Local boy in the photograph today
6.Maybe Tomorrow
I've been down and
I'm wondering why
These little black clouds
Keep walking around
With me
With me
It wastes time
And I'd rather be high
Think I'll walk me outside
And buy a rainbow smile
But be free
They're all free
So maybe tomorrow
I'll find my way home
So maybe tomorrow
I'll find my way home
I look around at a beautiful life
Been the upperside of down
Been the inside of out
But we breathe
We breathe
I wanna breeze and an open mind
I wanna swim in the ocean
Wanna take my time for me
All me
So maybe tomorrow
I'll find my way home
So maybe tomorrow
I'll find my way home
So maybe tomorrow
I'll find my way home
So maybe tomorrow
I'll find my way home
So maybe tomorrow
I'll find my way home
So maybe tomorrow
I'll find my way home
7.Superman
You don't know what it's been like
Meeting someone like you
You don't know what it's been like
Meeting someone like you
Ya head's against the window pane
You got opinions but you ain't got news
You got good laughs but when it suits you
And dripping dropping people drop of a hat
You gotta mouth but you ain't got guts
That drunken mouth you should keep it shut
You don't know what it's been like
Meeting someone like you
You don't know what it's been like
Meeting someone like you
You don't know what it's been like
Meeting someone like you
Superman on a aeroplane
Sitting next to Lois Lane
You gotta that woman but you want her gone
So you can sleep with a teenage blonde
You wear a mask wear an armoured suit
Can't get to you with the gun I shoot
You play your cards close to your chest because ya
Poker face is a dreadry mess
You don't know what it's been like
Meeting someone like you
You don't know what it's been like
Meeting someone like you
Meeting someone like you
Meeting someone like you
Meeting someone like you
Meeting someone like you
Meeting someone like you
Meeting someone like ah ah ah aah
8.Pick a Part That's New
I've never been here before,
Didn't know where to go,
Never met you before,
I've never been to your home,
That smells not unknown,
Foot steps made of stone,
Walking feels familiar
You can do all the things that you like to do,
All around, underground, pick a part that's new,
You can do all the things that you like to do,
All around, upside down, pick a part that's new.
People drinking on their own,
Push buttons on the phone,
Was I here once before？
Is that my voice on the phone？
That last drink on my own,
Did I ever leave at all？
Confusions familiar
You can do all the things that you like to do,
All around, underground, pick a part that's new,
You can do all the things that you like to do,
All around, upside down, pick a part that's new.
You can do all the things that you like to do,
All around, underground, pick a part that's new,
You can do all the things that you like to do,
All around, upside down, anything that's new.
You can do all the things that you like to do,
All around, underground, pick a part that's new,
You can do all the things that you like to do,
All around, upside down, pick a part that's new.
So what's new to you？
What's new to you？
What's new to you？
9.My Own Worst Enemy
I've just turned twenty six and she was twenty three
She wore a crucifix but never preached at me
We'd stay up all the night until the day was dead
I'll get these feelings got inside my broken head
Wanna fly away
And change my ways
I'll beat myself to death when she sits next to me
I wanna free myself from all this misery
I wanna taste the love but life's against up me
But I am
My own worst enemy
I try to get some sleep her arms are over me
I'm staring at the walls that closing in on me
There's somebody through the blinds that watches over me
Today's the day I turn myself to set me free
Wanna fly away
And change my ways
I'll beat myself to death when she sits next to me
I wanna free myself from all this misery
I wanna taste the love but life's against up me
But I am
My own worst enemy
Feel .. Wanna feel it ..
Wanna feel it ......
I wanna fly away
And change my ways
I'll beat myself to death when she sits next to me
I wanna free myself from all this misery
I wanna taste the love but life's against up me
But I am my own worst enemy
Worst enemy worst enemy
worst enemy aaaaaaaaaaah
10.I Wouldn't Believe Your Radio
Travelling through
A tunnel under sea
You never know if it cracks in half
You're never ever gonaa see me
But you can have it all if you like
You can have it all if you like and
You can pay for it the rest of your
Life...life
I wouldn't believe your wireless radio
If I had myself a flying giraffe
You'd have one in a box with a window
But you can have it all if you like
You can have it all if you like
And you can pay for it the rest of your
Life...life
Life in the summer's on it's back
You'd have to agree that that's the crack
So take what you want I'm not comin'
Back
You never know if it cracks in half
You're never ever gonaa see me
But you can have it all if you like
Life...life
11.You're My Star
You fly with angel's wings
You've got my blood in your veins
And your eyes see everything
And they shine like diamond rings
You're my Sunday,
Make my Monday come alive
Just like Tuesday you're a new day, wakes me up,
Wednesday's raining, Thursday's yearning, Friday nights,
Then it all ends at the weekend, you're my star
At times, I cave right in (Times I cave right in)
But this fight you have to win (This time we have to win)
And your songs you love to sing
May your dreams forever live
You're my Sunday,
Make my Monday come alive,
Just like Tuesday you're a new day, wakes me up,
Wednesday's raining, Thursday's yearning, Friday nights,
Then it all ends at the weekend, you're my star
You're my star, yes you are
its a thrill to see your imagination
just watching you is an education
what's in your mind is my fascination
it blows my mind it sets my heart to racing
You're my Sunday,
Make my Monday come alive,
Just like Tuesday you're a new day, wakes me up,
Wednesday's raining, Thursday's yearning, Friday nights,
Then it all ends at the weekend,
You're my star ......
12.Mr Writer
You line em' up
look at your shoes
you hang names on your wall
then you shoot them all
You fly around in planes
that bring you down
to meet me who loves you
like me crashing to the ground
Are you so lonely
you don't even know me
but you'd like to stone me
Mr writer why don't you tell it like it is
why don't you tell it like it really is
before you go on home
I used to treat you right
give you my time
but when i turn my back on you
let me do what you do
You've just enough in my own view
education to perform
i'd like to shoot you all
And then you go home
with you on your own
what do you really know
Mr writer why don't you tell it like it is
why don't you tell it like it really is
before you go on home
And then you go home
with you on your own
what do you even know
Mr writer why don't you tell it like it is
why don't you tell it like it really is
before you go on home
Mr writer why don't you tell it like it really is
why don't you tell it like it always is
before you go on home
13.Step On my Old Size Nines
I'd like to know what it's all about,
what's out there.
Am I gonna get old and laugh,
about something.
Will I get me a boy or a girl,
or not either.
Will I get what I want from this world,
I'm a day dreamer.
Then I watched the old couple dance,
Step on my old size nines and I'll take you round.
I'd like to know what you're all about,
what's up there.
Are you gonna get old and laugh,
without a care.
Will you get you a boy or a girl,
or not either.
Will you get what you want from this world,
a day dreamer.
Then I watched the old couple dance,
Step on my old size nines and I'll take you round.
I'd like to know what we're all about,
what we all have done.
Am I gonna get old and laugh,
with someone.
Think I'll get me a boy and a girl,
or not either.
Will I get what I want from this world,
I'm a day dreamer.
Then I watched the old couple dance,
Step on my old size nines and I'll take you 'round.....
14.Devil
Do you remember the day you left？
My last night... Of course I heard something horrifying
Do you remember...
Ever danced with the devil baby？ Oh no
Make my day
Do you feel lucky？ Oh no
Tomorrow's another day
Can you walk on water maybe？ Oh no
Turn water into wine？
Can I buy you a drink there lady？ Oh no
Can you tell me another lie？
So be my Devil Angel
Be my shooting star
Be my Devil Angel
Be my shooting star
Have I seen you somewhere baby？ Oh no
I need another line
Are you living the dream there lady？ Oh no
Can I tell you what's inside？
So be my Devil Angel
Be my shooting star
Be my Devil Angel
Be my shooting star
Stop the car there baby! Oh no
You can't handle the truth
So what's the point then lady？ Oh no
If ya can't stand to play and lose
So be my Devil Angel
Be my shooting star
So be my Devil Angel
Be my shooting star
Be my Devil Angel
Be my shooting star
Be my Devil Angel
Be my shooting star
Be my Devil
15.It Means Nothing
Did we lose ourselves again？
Did we take in what's been said？
Did we take the time to be,
All the things we said we'd be？
So we bury heads in sand
And my future's in my hands
It means nothing
It means nothing
You can find yourself a god
Believe in which one you want
Coz they love you all the same
They just go by different names
Did ya fly your flag today？
Are you proud or just ashamed？
It means nothing
It means nothing
It means nothing
It means nothing
It means nothing
If I haven't got you
If I haven't got you
If I haven't got you
If I haven't got you
The sun sets in the sky
You're the apple of my eye
If the bomb goes off again
In my brain or on the train
And I hope that I'm with you
Coz I wouldn't know what to do
It means nothing
It means nothing
It means nothing
It means nothing
It means nothing
If I haven't got you
If I haven't got you
If I haven't got you
If I haven't got you
If I haven't got you
16.A Thousand Trees
Standing at the bus stop with my shopping in my hands
And I'm overhearing elder ladies
As the rumours start to fly
You can hear them in the school yard
In the scrap yard
In the chip shop
In the phone box
In the pool hall
At the shoe store
Every corner turn around
It started with a school girl
Who was running
Running home to her Mam and Dad
Told them she was playing,
in the change room of the local foorball side
They said tell us again, she told them again,
tell us the truth, they find it hard to believe
'Cause he taught our I was steve, he even trained me,
taught our John who's a father of three
Only takes one tree, to make 1000 matches
Only takes one match, to burn A thousand trees
A thousand trees
You see it in the classroom
In the swimming pool
Where the match stick men are made
At the scout's hall
At the football
Where the wise we trust are paid
They all honour his name
He did a lot for the game
Got his name knocked up above the sports ground gates
But they're ripping them down, stamping the ground
Picture gathers dust behind the bar in the lounge
Only takes one tree, to make a thousand matches
Only takes one match, to burn a thousand trees
A thousand trees
Wake up, and smell the rain
Shake up, he's back to stay
He hasn't been on a holiday
His growing seeds don't believe
Why he's been away
From the school yard
Changing room
Playing field
Bathroom
Phone box
Office blocks
Corners turn around
They keep doubting the flame, tossing the blame
Got his name knocked up above the sports ground gates
And they're ripping them down, stamping the ground
Picture gathers dust in the bar
Only takes one tree, to make a thousand matches
Only takes one match, to burn A thousand trees
A thousand trees
A thousand trees
A thousand trees
17.Vegas Two Times
So
It started with the immigration information bore
You gotta know
Gambling floor,
then to the s.t.u.d.i.o. 54
You gotta go.
Now we're leaving L.A.S. Vegas two times
Crazy house to spin us dry
Vietnam vet taxi ride
L.A.S. Vegas.
So
we parted at the ground floor,
front door, car hire, room for four
we gotta go.
Rambling slow
then to the L.A. marquis, all the imitation folk
we gotta go.
Now we're leaving L.A.S. Vegas two times
Crazy house to spin us dry
Vietnam vet taxi ride
L.A.S. Vegas.
Leave - Ooooh
Now we're leaving L.A.S. Vegas two times
Crazy house to spin us dry
Vietnam vet taxi ride
Come again we'll make you fly
Vietnam vet taxi ride
Crazy house to spin us dry
L.A.S. Vegas two times.
18.Traffic
We all face the same way
Still it takes all day
I take a look to my left, pick out the worst and the best
She paints her lip, greasy and thick
Another mirror stare, and she's going where？
Another office affair, to kill an unborn scare？
You talk dirty to a priest？It makes them human at least
But is she running away, to start a brand new day？
Or is she going home？ Why's she driving alone？
Is anyone going anywhere？
Everyone's gotta be somewhere
She got a body in the boot, or just bags full of food？
Those are model's legs, but are they women's are they men's？
She shops down the phone, missed a payment on the loan
She gotta be above the rest, keeping up with the best
Is anyone going anywhere？
Everyone's gotta be somewhere
Waits tables for a crook？
Wrote a hardback book？
Do ya teach kids how to read？
Or sell your body on the street？
A nurse without a job？
Another uptown snob？
But have I got you all wrong？
One look and you were gone
Is anyone going anywhere？
Is anyone going anywhere？
Is anyone going anywhere？
Everyone's gotta be somewhere
19.More Life in a Tramps Vest
I get camping eyes in the final hour
Last minute shoppers picking cauliflower
The fuss they make, you'd swear they were buying a car
They always moan, moan it's not so cheap
Cheaper still, cheaper still down the street
Lose my rag and tell them take your bag and shop down there
Closing down, they're closing down another road
One way, system steals the show
Mac the knife swigs a can and sings the day away
There's more life, more life, more life in a tramp's vest
There's more life, more life, more life in a tramp's vest
The flower man sits down in the street
Surrounded by, the stock he bought last week
Bring back the ladies wearing lipstick on their teeth
Make up, we make up a crappy joke
Sit back, relax and have a smoke
Mac the knife swigs a can and sings the day away
There's more life, more life, more life in a tramp's vest
There's more life, more life, more life in a tramp's vest
There's more life, more life, more life in a tramp's vest
There's more life, more life, more life in a tramp's vest
I get camping eyes in the final hour
Last minute shoppers picking cauliflower
Mac the knife swigs a can and sings the day away
There's more life, more life, more life in a tramp's vest
There's more life, more life, more life in a tramp's vest
There's more life, more life, more life in a tramp's vest
There's more life, more life, more life in a tramp's vest
20.Handbags and Gladrags
Ever seen a blind man cross the road,
Try'na make it to the other side.
Ever seen a young girl growing old,
Try'na make herself a bride.
So what becomes of you my love,
when they have finally stripped you of
The handbags and the gladrags
that your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy you.
Once I was a young man,
and all I thought I had to do was smile.
Well you are still a young girl,
and you bought everything in style.
So once you think you're in , you're out,
cause you don't mean a single thing without
The handbags and the gladrags
that your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy you.
Sing a song of sixpence for your sake
and drink a bottle full of rye.
Four and twenty blackbirds in a cake,
and bake them all in a pie.
They told me you missed school today,
so what I suggest you just throw them all away.
The handbags and the gladrags
that your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy you.
They told me you missed school today,
so what I suggest you just throw them all away.
The handbags and the gladrags
that your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy you.
