I love this island but this island's killing me
Sitting here in silence, man I don't get no peace
The waves upon my shore take me away piece by piece
Gonna leave everything I know gonna head out towards the sea
Jump off this island gonna head out towards the sea
I love this city man but this city's killing me
Sitting here in all this noise man I don't get no peace
The cars below my street take me away piece by piece
Gonna leave everything I know gonna head out towards the sea
Gonna leave this city man, gonna head out towards the sea
Get miles away, get miles away, get miles away
Get miles
I love this planet but this planet's killin' me
Sitting here in all this grass man I don't get no weed
The sweat comin' from my pores take me away piece by piece
Gonna leave everything I know gonna head to the galaxy
Gonna leave this planet man, gonna head to the galaxy
Get miles away, get miles away, get miles away, get miles away, get miles away,
get miles away, get miles away
Once upon a time, not too long ago, we took a day out in Manchester
We all fall down, there's not enough hours in our day
Played a bit of football, fell in to the union, barged our way to the toilet
With the Kung Fu king, there's not enough hours in our day
I remember seeing someone dressed in a suit looking like a lunatic
And we all fall down, there's not enough hours in our trip
*Well, academy cartwheel's breakin' your hands
We got lovely posters for sale
And we all fall down, there's not enough hours in our day
We like lovin yeah, and the wine we share
We like lovin yeah, and the wine we share
Finally made our way back to the train, rolling in to Sheffield tonight
And we all fall down, there's not enough hours in our life
So try and guess my weight and wait at the station
We're whippin Picadilly tonight
And it all falls down, there not enough hours in our life
I was always told that you have to have the balls to break down
Now I'm older I'm not too sure
*I was always told that you had to have the high to low down [That's what the
tab book says but I'd go for - heart to meltdown]
An expert told me back in the war
Open hearted surgery never works
So eat your words or hide 'em in the dirt
Cos' I don't need nobody to know me
I don't want nobody to know
I was always told that you have to have the balls to break down
Now I'm older I'm not too sure
*I was always told that you had to have the high to low down
An expert told me back in the war
Open hearted surgery never works
So eat your words or hide 'em in the dirt
Cos' I don't want nobody to know me
I don't need nobody to know
Open hearted surgery never works
So eat your words or hide 'em in the dirt
Cos' I don't need nobody to know me
I don't want nobody to know
*Here comes the breeze, come on, blow me up
*Planting the seed, come on sow me up
*Feel in the feeling, making our way through the storm
*We've been deceiving, making our way through the storm
*All we need's a little more to
Send a little message to ya, gonna get out our heads
Send a little message to ya, gonna get out our heads
*Here comes the air, come on, blow me up
*Harness the fair, come on, grow me up
Staring at nothing 'cos I can't make out what it is
Searching for something I just don't know what it is
All we need's a little water
Send a little message to ya, gonna get out our heads
Send a little message to ya, gonna get out our heads
Come on in, come in on and lay me down
And relax cos the world will collapse with you
Turn your red light in to blue
Why do you keep running around like that
Sit back 'cos this is gonna take a while
Theres no shame in going out of style
Why do you keep running around like that
Send a little message to ya, gonna get out our heads
Send a little message to ya, gonna get out our heads
Send a little message to ya, gonna get out our heads
*Love is better than a warm trombone, when blown, softly by a two tone, brother
*Down on luck by chance, caress her head off at the boogaloo trance
With his hands in his pocket he could not lie
With his hands in his pocket he began to cry
With his hands in his pocket he lowered his eye
*He said "Miss I guess I ought to apologise, I've been fallin, I'm falling down"
The river of your lovelorn souls is getting deeper than the deepest dish washing
bowl
*Now brother get the dirt off your hands, it's getting darker than a
sun-chaser's the sun tan
With his hands in his pockethe could not lie
With his hands in his pockethe began to cry
With his hands in his pockethe lowered his eyes
*He said "Miss, I guess I ought to apologise, I've been fallin, I'm falling
down"
With his hands in his pockethe began to cry
With his hands in his pockethe could not lie
With his hands in his pockethe lowered his eyes
*He said "Miss, I guess I ought to apologise, I've been fallin, I'm falling
Lost souls, you and I, my dear
Whiskey bottle and a .45, my dear
We're on a roll, suitcase and cellophane, my dear
Whiskey bottle and a .45 satisfies, my dear
And someone's whispering into my ear
Asking softly, "What do you fear today?"
'Cause in faithless times
I know your hate
I seen your crimes
I felt your cruelty
In the bubble gum years
In the bubble gum years
Wastin' time, lost my money
Found someone who'll call me honey
How we go was never clear
Go look for something much less sincere
My dear
Whiskey bottle and a .45 satisfies, my dear
And someone's whispering into my ear
Asking softly, "What do you fear today?"
'Cause in faithless times
I know your hate
I felt your crimes
I felt your cruelty
In the bubble gum years
In the bubble gum years
In the bubble gum years
Gonna take that medicine, a cold, cold medicine, make me what I am
Gonna go down steady, gonna get my measure, I got credit with the medicine man
*Said I'm on fire, I'm on fire
Well, he mix the medicine and he take credit when he puts it in my hand
Gonna go down steady, gonna get my measure, I got credit with the medicine man
*Said I'm on fire, I'm on fire
Rie's car runnin' me over but I don't mind
Rie's car drivin' me homeward 'cos I don't drive
Rie's car runnin' me over, runnin' me over but I don't mind
Rie's car drivin' me homeward 'cos I don't drive
Well, I'm smokin' in bed again, I didn't get the sign that said I should be up
by ten
Gonna go down steady, gonna get my measure, I got credit with the medicine man
*Said I'm on fire, I'm on fire
*Said I'm on fire, I'm on fire
*Said I'm on fire, I'm on fire
*Said I'm on fire, I'm on fire
Rie's car runnin' me over but I don't mind
Rie's car drivin' me homeward 'cos I don't drive
Rie's car takin' me over but I don't mind
But I don't mind
But I don't mind
