If I had my time again
I would do it all the same
And not change a single thing
Even when I was to blame
For the heartache and the pain
That I caused throughout my years
How I'd love to be your man
Through the laughter and the tears
Situation no win
Rush for a change of atmosphere
I can't go on so I give in
Gotta get myself right outta here
Now I'm fully grown
And I know where it's at
Somehow I stayed thin
While the other guys got fat
All the chances that I've blown
And the times that I've been down
I didn't get too high
Kept my feet on the ground
Situation no win
Rush for a change of atmosphere
I can't go on so I give in
Gotta get myself right outta here
(Man)
Yes, yes, delightful, delightful
Rush for a change of atmosphere
(man again)
Mmm, I wish I could sing like that. Not everything's singing, you know
The only important thing these days is rhythm and melody, rhythm and melody
And of all my friends
You've been the best to me
Soon will be the day
When I repay you handsomely
Broken hearts are hard to mend
I know, I've had my share
But life just carries on
Even when I'm not there
Situation no win
Rush for a change of atmosphere
I can't go on so I give in
Gotta get myself right outta here
Situation no win
Rush for a change of atmosphere
I can't go on so I give in
Gotta get myself right outta here
Gotta get myself right
Gotta get myself right
Gotta get myself right outta here
Gotta get myself right
Gotta get myself right
Gotta get myself right outta here

It's called "Can't Wait"
Well, they told me
It would be OK
Yeah, they told me
They told me what to say
And they gave to me
Then they took away
Yeah, they gave it to me
It was powdered cocaine
And I just can't wait (you make me wait)
Any longer (don't make me wait)
I've got to leave today
What you doin' to me
You're messin' with my brain
What you doin' to me
I'm stuck in purple rain
And I just can't wait (you make me wait)
Any longer (don't make me wait)
I've got to leave today
"O God! Methinks it were a happy life
To be no better than a homely swain
To sit upon a hill, as I do now
To carve out dials quaintly, point by point
Thereby to see the minutes how they run
How many make the hour full complete
How many hours bring about the day
How many days will finish up the year
How many years a mortal man may live"
Please believe me
I was well on my way
Yeah, believe me
We thought that we would play
And I just can't wait (you make me wait)
Any longer (don't make me wait)
I've got to leave today
Don't fall for me
Don't wanna see you pray
Don't you wait for me
Just let it slip away
And I just can't wait (you make me wait)
Any longer (don't make me wait)
I've got to leave today
And I just can't wait (you make me wait)
Any longer (don't make me wait)
I've got to leave today
Thank you

Ooh there's no place that you can go
You think you can run but I don't know
Ooh where you're gonna go
You think you can run but
I don't know
They don't wanna hear about it
What's going on in your head
Don't you even care about it
You'll be somewhere else instead
You don't even talk about it
What's going on in the street
You don't spare a single thought about it
When the world is at your feet
Ooh there's no place that you can go
You think you can run but I don't know
Ooh where you're gonna go
You think you can run but
I don't know
You make me wanna shout about it
I'll tell you how I feel
There can't be any doubt about it
I know that this is real
Can't make myself forget about it
The way you seem to do
There's only one regret about it
I can't get through to you
Ooh there's no place that you can go
You think you can run but I don't know
Ooh where you're gonna go
You think you can run but
I don't know
Don't really wanna think about it
I can't fuck wearing my
By not doing what we ought about it
Things just stay the same
Always knew you were mad about it
Don't think Christ ain't too
But now I'm feeling sad about it
Nothing I can do
Ooh there's no place that you can go
You think you can run but I don't know
Ooh where you're gonna go
You think you can run but
I don't know
You think you can run but I don't know

Break it on down
Bless you
Bless you
Oh bless you
Bless you
Where are you going
My beautiful friend
Is this the road that
We take til the end
And if we break down
Are we left behind
Is this the highway
Of all mankind
Axis spins so round and round we go
Where we're goin no one really knows
Here we here we here we here we go
Feel the fire way down below
CHORUS:
Come on and dim the lights
(It's party time)
Switch on the strobe
(Do what you like)
We gonna have a ball tonight
(Let's have a ball)
Down at the Globe
(Time to look at ?)
Come on dim the lights
(Here we here we here we go again)
Switch on the strobe
(Lookin right ?)
Gonna have a ball tonight
(All I see is ?)
Down at the Globe
Get up and clean your teeth and have a shave
It's 1am let's go out to a rave
One more in before we hit that grave
It's hotter than a microwave wave
Chorus
Where is the failure
Not in this land
But still you try to
Get what you can
You know that it's bad but
If you insist
Here's one more chance now
That you just missed
Chorus (x3)

Live for yourself
Today or tomorrow
Look after your health
Forget all your sorrows
I`d wish I could`ve seen you
When you could run wild
I would`ve liked to know you
As an innocent child
Innocent child
It`s never to late
For you to do
You don`t have to wait
For the sun to go through
I wish I could`ve seen you
When you could run wild
I would`ve liked to know you
As an innocent child
Innocent child
I know a way
Of sipping the truth
Go back to the days
Before your youth
I wish I could`ve seen you
When you could run wild
I would`ve liked to know you
As an innocent child
Innocent child
Innocent child
Innocent child
Innocent child
Innocent child
I wish I could`ve seen you
When you could run wild
I would`ve liked to know you
As an innocent child
Innocent child
As an innocent child
Innocent child
Innocent child
Innocent child

Time to plan where's the bugles coming from
Just look to me have some ancient sleep
Dug inside the coat pulled out a crumpled note
Technology they put on your anti gun
So ya search the rooms
Of the stairway of your mind
Till you reach the Mirror Room
Expecting what you'll find
Exactly what you are
Not what you want to be
I'll say
Hey
Well
That's alright by me
You pox me up
Don't wanna take a friend
Leave it to me
The hands will see your hand
Didn't understand
Just took him by the hand
Took him to the cool place of the plan
So ya search the rooms
Of the stairway of your mind
Till you reach the Mirror Room
Expecting what you'll find
Exactly what you are
Not what you want to be
I'll say
Hey
Well
That's alright by me
Feelings is goodbye
You've been searching for days
I remember Christmas Eve
The space craft get away
Feel a little rodent
He really loves me
My Friend in New York and the Best DJ
So ya search the rooms
Of the stairway of your mind
Till you reach the Mirror Room
Expecting what you'll find
Exactly what you are
Not what you want to be
I'll say
Hey
Well
That's alright by me
So ya search the rooms
Of the stairway of your mind
Till you reach the Mirror Room
Expecting what you'll find
Exactly what you are
Not what you want to be
I'll say
Hey
Well
That's alright by me
I'll say
Hey
Well
That's alright by me
I'll say
Hey
Well
That's alright by me

Mick Jones is on the microphone
Here to make it to the future
Til the point-promo yeah
Who has a time to laugh
And a time to moan
He's the odd moody bloke from the second tone
Ladies and Gentlemen
The Dypso-Calypso
Tell it like this Mick
All you misfits and musclemen
Pack 'em up and move 'em along
Let's get it together tonight
On this island that we're on
Ten million tons of water
Thrown into the air
While we jacked our bodies
Like we didn't care
Can somebody tell me
What am I doin' here
You know I like to party
But how much can I bear
The Brazilian Lizard Queen
And Bishop like to freak
Shootin' out into the stars
Tryin' to reach the peak
Ten million tons of water
Thrown into the air
While we jacked the bodies
Like we didn't care
Can somebody tell me
What am I doin' here
You know I like to party
But how much can I bare
V I B the rider
The Devil on a Vespa
Rode into town
And found he was alone
Out at the beach now
In the burning heart now
Sun stroked to head
And naked to the bone
I'm watchin' the sunset
Down at San Antone
So a hosts of Angels
And wished I stayed at home
Ten million tons of water
Thrown into the air
While we jacked the bodies
Like we didn't care
Can somebody tell me
What am I doin' here
You know I like to party
But how much can I bear
The midget has grown
Amnesia I don't remember
Now I'm burned down
To the max
But I'll return in September
Ten million tons of water
Thrown into the air
While we jacked the bodies
Like we didn't care
Can somebody tell me
What am I doin' here
You know I like to party
But how much can I bear
. . .

At night before I go to sleep I think of what the darkness hold
In slumber land I drift into another world
It ain't hard
It ain't hard
And in my sleep there is a place that I can see coming to view
I tried to get a closer look, but took too long
It was gone
It was gone
I wake up and wonder where I've been in my dreams
It's a shame the world's not what it seems in my dreams
Though it's unreal I think I get a better deal
When no one tells me what I should think or feel
It ain't hard
It ain't hard
When I just come to know a pressure on my mind
The sleep's the only kind of peace that I can find
I can find
I can find
I wake up and wonder where I've been in my dreams
It's a shame the world's not what it seems in my dreams
. . .

Coming to your street
Almost every night the sound is underground ground
You're too booming big out of poverty
And dreaming up the street
And the man who want to stand for his piece of land
Is pushed aside
'Cause he don't quite fit
Tryin' to make it quit
And twist his mind
Go from behind
Call out the hitmen
Mercy make him stop and realise
That when the time comes
They're gonna terrorise
And I hear every day what you say
That the man's still got his right
'Cause when the time comes
They're gonna terrorise
A brother on the street
Met a small time hoakie hood who played guitar
They were strictly middle class
Saying this would never pass
They don't belong
Will people sing to this musical theme
And raise their voice
Or will we have to say
That they just can't play their guitar
Or go very far
Call out the hitmen
Mercy make him stop and realise
That when the time comes
They're gonna terrorise
And I hear every day what you say
That the man's still got his right
'Cause when the time comes
They're gonna terrorise
Sweet soul sister
Meets John from Leicester
And they fall in love
They just get by
On the government supply
But it's not enough
Call out the hitmen
Mercy make him stop and realise
That when the time comes
They're gonna terrorise
And I hear every day what you say
That the man's still got his rights
'Cause when the time comes
They're gonna terrorise
Coming to your street
Almost every night the sound is underground ground
You're too brooming big out of poverty
And cleaning up the street
And the man who wants to stand for his piece of land
Is pushed aside
'Cause he don't quite fit
Tryin' to make him quit
And twist his mind
Go from behind behind behind behind behind
. . .

Well, they told me
It would be OK
And they told me
They told me what to say
And I just can't wait any longer
I've gotta move today
I would've liked to know you
As an innocent child
Innocent child
Ten million tons of water
Thrown into the air
While we jacked the bodies
Like we don't care
Can somebody tell me
What am I doing here?
You know I like to party
But how much can I bear?
But when the time comes
When the time comes
When the time comes
They're gonna terrorise
