Closer To God

Television Personalities Closer To God Lyrics
1.I See Myself In You

They say you should know better at your age
A sixties child, so free and wild
Danced go go in a cage
You're a mystery it's true
I think I see myself in you
You're like a character in a Joseph Losey film
Mysterious, yet eloquent and still
You're a rebel, yes it's true
I think I see myself in you
Timothy Leary had a lot to say
I guess you read his bible every day
You're a fool somethimes it's true
I think I see myself in you
You say you hope you grow old quite disgracefully
I hope you always have the time for me
You're a good one, yes it's true
I think I see myself in you.


2.Goodnight Mr Spaceman

Well they gave me amytriptiline
They fed me pseudochlorophine
It helped me sleep
But I felt so deep
And most of the time I wanted to weep

The days seemed black just like the night
A big long tunnel without lights
Where everything's dark then everything's bright

Oh, the train's gone past my station
Oh bloody hell I wish I'd signed to Creation

Singing goodnight Jowe, goodnight Dan
Goodnight Mr. Spaceman

Goodnight Mr. Spaceman

Well I think I'll die of a broken heart
If my record doesn't make the indie charts
I'll do anything
I'll swallow my pride
Commit artistic suicide

And I dig St. Etienne, Denim and Suede
And naturally I go to the occasional rave
But when I was young it was Wizzard and Slade

Oh, this record is sponsored by Pepsi
I've taken three e's I still can't dance like Bobby Gillespie
And maybe...

Singing goodnight Jowe, goodnight Dan
Goodnight Mr. Spaceman
Goodnight Mr. Spaceman

And I like to walk around the town
With my trousers halfway down
And I often feel like Edvard Munch
If my analyst calls I'm out to lunch

Singing goodnight Jowe, goodnight Dan
Goodnight Mr. Spaceman
Goodnight Mr. Spaceman


Goodnight Jowe, goodnight Dan
Goodnight Mr. Spaceman
Goodnight Mr. Spaceman

Goodnight Jowe, goodnight Dan
Goodnight Mr. Spaceman
Goodnight Mr. Spaceman


Goodnight Jowe, goodnight Dan

I'm off my face


3.We Will Be Your Gurus

I will be your Jesus
I will be your shining light
I will be your everything
Just let me in tonight

I'll be your lover
I'll be your honey
I'll be your Jesus
Your guru too

I will be your Buddha
Won't you let me choose your shoes
I've got a lot of love to give you
There's so much that I can show you

I'll be your lover
I'll be your honey
I'll be your Jesus
Your guru too
I will be your guru

I will be your lighthouse
Baby, if you're lost at sea
You're going to hit the rocks
Better shout 'rescue me'

I'll be your lover
I'll be your honey
I'll be your Jesus
Your guru too
I will be your guru

We want you as a new guru

I will be your new addiction
Won't you let me turn you on?
I'll be your new obsession
Rid yourself of all possessions

I will be your Jesus
I will be your shining light
I will be your everything
Just let me in tonight

We want you as a new guru

If violence is your guru
If money is your guru
Let me be your guru


4.You Are Special And You Always Will Be

The sunlight plays across your hair
Reflections dance upon your eyes
Take away the guns from the boys
Take away the hate
It hurts to see you looking down
Dragging your face across the ground
Take away the guns from the boy
Take away the pain
Leonard Cohen knows just what I mean
I wish I had the beauty of his work
Take it from me

I mean every single word
The sea lies still and calm tonight
The stars are shining
The moon is soft and bright
Won't you let me be your light?
You were special then
But you are special now
You are special,
And you always will be
To me


5.You're Younger Than You Know

Let's see what the new day brings
Maybe I will learn something
I wish I had the nerve to be like you
Do half the things you say and do
You're looking younger now
Younger than the newest star that shines up in the sky
Younger than the newest dream
Baby dreamt last night
People think that I'm angel
Pleased to have me at their table
But no one came when i was sectioned
And in the mirror no reflection
You're looking younger now
You're younger than you know


6.Very Dark Today

I'm feeling very dark today
Very sad today
I thought I had it all worked out
I thought i'd buried all my doubts
Oh, if could touch the sky I would try
Oh, if I could grab a star I would try
With all my might
But I'm feeling bad today
I thought I had my life worked out
I thought I'd buried all my doubs
I'm feeling very dark today


7.I Hope You Have A Nice Day

I had a marvellous dream last night
That white was black and black was white
If only love and peace could satisfy like war and greed
Just choose a card
Take that card
Remember that card
Put it back in the pack
I know what you chose
Remember that when you strike the pose
I see more than you can hide
I wish you had the strngth to reach inside
I wouldn't be surprised
If Doctor Jekyll and his good side
Just open tou eyes
And you may find
It could very well open your mind
Just try again, because you're a good one
Whatever you do or say
I hope you have a nice day
You make a lot of good things happen
Don't you say you don't


8.This Hart's Not Made Of Stone

I know sometimes I'm hard
I know sometimes I'm cruel
I know sometimes I'm slow
And often act the fool
And though I think the world of you
But I can't take it all my time
I have lose control sometimes
I've got to live my life
You take me up, up, up
To the top of the sky
You bring me down again
You always bring me down again
But there's one thing you should know

This heart's not made of stone
There comes a time when you must go
A time to let your feelings shows
A time to tell the world just what you know
And sometimes I must be alone
But you know that you can telephone
I know that you are stronger than you say
But there's one thing I should know
This heart's not made of stone


9.Baby, You're Only As Good As You Should Be

Tell me why you do the things you do
Tell me what it is you're trying to prove
Girl, you give up far too easily
I've been there myself
Believe you, me.

And God knows you deserve a better life
You will find your place
And I'll find mine
Don't be scared to talk your problems through
Don't let people walk all over you


10.Closer To God

It's the ballad of a Catholic boy
Full of Catholic hopes and joys
Genuflect and say your prayers
Confess your sins and God will share
Bastard Grammar School
God fearing
Discipline and saving beatings
But no one knows where we're going to
No one knows where we've been
No one taught anything at school
As a child made confirmation
Choose your Saint
Then choose your station
Hurt the child
Then shove it love
It's just violence in a velvet glove
Sunday, Church,
Confess to Father, repent your sins
Confess to Father
Four Hail Mary's, be forgiven
There's something inside, I'm driven
Just when I thought I'd lost my way
I'm feeling closer now
I'm getting closer now
Closer to God


11.Razorblades & Lemonade

Well, I never thought it would come to this
As I stand hare now, with a razorblade,
It's against my wrist
As I reminisce of our first kiss
No, I never thought it would come to this
And I still pretend it's a dark, dark dream
Because the mirror man doesn't look like me
Yes I still pretend it's a dark, dark dream
It's just a dream
Razorblades and lemonade
And you are what you have
Glamour makes you loveable
On a very good day
I can be so adorable
Now the mocking-birds they sing
While the vulture wears my ring
But she's everything to me
She's everything to me
And I still pretend
It's a dark, dark dream
As I stand here now
Who will buy my razorblades?
Coca Cola, Cherryade


12.Coming Home Soon

I'm coming home soon... To you
To our little London flat
To you and to our two cats
With it's purple painted hall
Daisies on the wall
To jacket potatoes
And cheese on toast
You're the one that I love the most
Happy when I'm with you
But sad when you're not here
You're the one I love the most
You're the one that I need the most
And I wish you was here now
In this little German town
It's full of people
They laugh and cheer
They're happy that I'm here
I'm happy I'm here too
But I wish I was with you
I'm coming home soon.


13.Me And My Big Ideas

Dreamt I found a million pounds
On the London underground
I spent it at London Zoo
Maybe had a drink or two
I think I need a holiday
Butlins camp or St. Tropez
I'll send a postcard if I can
Hope I die before I get a suntan
I'll buy Russia's nuclear weapons
Maybe take some English lessons
Take tea and cakes with Charles and Di
Kiss a million boys and make them cry
It's only me and my big ideas
It's enough to drive you to tears


14.Not For The Likes Of Us

I wouldn't like to be in your shoes baby
Man, how do you sleep?
Your dinner's getting burned
While you drink all that she earns
The baby needs changing
Boy, you're in trouble deep!
Riding on the back of your black Lambretta
Everybody knew your name
We danced all the night to the Motown classics

But look at you now boy
You're old and set in your ways
Hey don't come around
In your dressing gown
Crying your crocodile tears
Dancing on my chandelier
It's not for the likes of us
There is no need to rush
Some of us never take the bus!


15.You Don't Know How Lucky You Are

Boy, you're looking old
Aged before your time
Living your life like a merry-go-round
But someday soon you'll have to come down.
Would you like to see scars?
My brand new needle marks?
Wearing my sins like a new tattoo,
I can't imagine why I don't envy you!
And now you're punishing yourself
And it's a crying shame
You've got a job, a house, a company car
But you've still got shit for brains!
Take me to your world
Show me what you feel
Tell me, is it real?
What are you searching for?
And if you ever turn on to crack
Or God forbid good smack
You won't recognise yourself
There'll be no turning back
You don't know how lucky you are
Open up your mind
It's a open door


16.Little Works Of Art

I love the photographs you take
The pretty dresses that you make
You know I loved you from the start
I love you and your little works of art
I love the way you turn me on
You know just where I'm coming from
I've got your name tattooed om my heart
I love you and your little works of art
I worry about you all of the time
If you're feeling sad or doing fine
I was daft about you from the start
I love you and your little works of art


17.Hard Luck Story Number 39

It happened all so quickly
I was too young
I had too much
Before I'd even begun
I touched the glittering prizes
I had them in my hand
But when I turned it down
You didn't understand
But I'm feeling much better now
I've only just begun
And soon I know my day will come
Don't get me wrong
It's not a hard luck story number 39
Just to hear my song on the radio
Was all I ever hoped
Soon realised, I couldn't cope
You can keep your hits
And your silver discs
I'll stick two fingers to fame
Don't cry for me
It's not a shame
It's not a hard luck story number 39


18.Honey For The Bears

I didn't come all this way to bring you down
I didn't come all this way to make you frown
I didn't come all this way to make fun of you
You know that's something I'd never do
When I'm with you I swear
You're like honey for the bears
I didn't come all this way to criticise
I didn't come all this way to empathise
I didn't come all this way to make fun of you
When I'm with you I swear
You're like honey for the bears
And Honey gets all that wants
Honey gets all that she needs
