Hurry up
Don't slow down
Pick a time
Don't let hands pull you down
If you're waiting

Have it up
Move along
Say goodbye
Don't let words stay too long
If you're leaving

It read
We missed you
Between the lines
It said hold it high
With a smile
Speak out loud
With the mind of a child
If you're lucky

LyricsIt read
We missed you
Between the lines
It said hurry up

We really must be going there's no time to delay
We have to leave our message because we can't stay
It really is important so remember take care
Please keep on moving 'cos there's nobody there

It read
We missed you
Between the lines it said
We've waited for so long
But now it's time t-t-to keep moving along

Here and there are the signs
On the road give way to stop and go
When you're moving

It read
We missed you
Between the lines it said
We've waited for so long
But now it's time to to to keep moving along

Keep moving, you've got to keep moving
Keep, keep, you've got to keep moving
to keep moving along

We'll get ya ya ya
We'll get ya ya ya

(I am Michael Caine)

la la la la la la la la

He's walking where I'm afraid I don't know
I see the firemen jumping from the windows
There's panic and I hear somebody scream

He picks up useless paper and puts it in my pocket
I'm trying very hard to keep my fingers clean
I can't remember tell me what's his name

(My name is Michael Caine)

And all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep at home
And all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep

The sun is laughing it's another broken morning
LyricsI see a shadow and call out to try and warn him
He didn't seem to hear just turned away
The quiet fellow follows
And points his finger straight at you
He had to sacrifice his pride, yes
And throw it all away

(I am Micheal Caine)

And all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep at home
And all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep

His days are numbered he walks round and round in circles
There is no place he can ever call his own
He seems to jump at the sound of the phone

Staring out the window there's nothing he can now do
All he wanted was to remain sane
He can't remer hisemb own name

(My name is Michael Caine)

And all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep at home
And all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep
All I wanted was a word or photograph
All I wanted was a word or photograph to keep

With the ease of a practised smile
The tears of a crocodile
Well shake then wash your hands
Of the smell of foreign land
The propaganda woman said
It might be worse you could be dead
Now we've an impressive show
Let's wind it up and watch it go

Still a strange thing to me
Is there's no place I'd rather be
Rollercoasting backwards to
Up and down and turning blue

No pie in the sky
For the small man gets smaller
But a poke in the eye
From an unwelcome caller

Still a strange thing to me
Is there's no place I'd rather be
LyricsRollercoasting backwards to
Up and down and turning blue

Policeman's eyes on overload
A fractured island might explode
A million pieces washed ashore
From Disneyland to Warsaw

Let's have a rehearsal run
An underground holiday in the sun
Take time to sit and reflect
A white wall where the sun collects

Still a strange thing to me
Is there's no place I'd rather be
Rollercoasting backwards to
Up and down and turning blue

Arlington House
Address no fixed abode
An old man in a three-piece suite
Sits in the road
He stares across the water
And sees right through the lock
But on and up like outstretched hands
His mumbled words, his fumbled words

Further down there's a photo booth
A million plastic bags
And an old woman filling out
A million baggage tags
But when she get thrown out
Three bags at a time
She spies the old chap in the road
To share her bags with, she has bags of time

Surrounded by his past
On a short white line
He sits while cars pass
LyricsEither side
Takes his time
Trying to remember
One better day
A while ago when people stopped
To hear him say

Walking 'round you sometimes
Hear the sunshine
Beating down in time with the
Rhythm of your shoes

Now she has walked
Enough through rainy town
She rests her back against his
And sits down
She's trying to remember
One better day
Awhile ago when people stopped
To hear her say

Walking 'round you sometimes
Hear the sunshine
Beating down in time with the
Rhythm of your shoes

Walking 'round you sometimes
Hear the sunshine
Beating down in time with the
Rhythm of your shoes

The feeling of arriving
When you've nothing left to lose

It's been sometime since the smile
Upon my face
Had a sneak preview in town
It's been a while since I gave chase
It's been sometime since the girl
>From round my way
Came and took me by the hand
It's been a long time since I came around

I can remember when I
Stood on my head
And walking straight across the ground
I still picture the laughing faces

Catch me, I'm falling into my past
Deeper, the deeper the louder the laugh

I was told to grow up soon
Face my consequences
Being told it was high time
High time to come to my senses
LyricsClimbing up to the top floor
Stood the look of pleasure
Such a silly aged man
With an attic full of treasure

Catch me, I'm falling into my past
Deeper, the deeper the louder the laugh

I remember when I was ten
Things were somewhat better then
Time went by so easily
Is this the way life's supposed to be, but
Looking back I wonder why
It seems to pass so quickly by
Memories can make you cry
I close my eyes, my tears I try to hide

I was thinking about
Tammo land
Of all the funny places
I was thinking a short time ago

Catch me, I'm falling into my past
Deeper, the deeper the louder the laugh
Catch me, I'm falling into my past
Deeper, the deeper the louder the laugh

The latest and greatest
Amazing arrival
No conscience no shame
For the game of survival
Theives and villians
And fraudulent swindlers
Gathered in tribute
With masks of respect

A big hand hooray
Oh come all ye trustful
Let the band play
A waltz into mischief

The chairman is speaking
Instructs the apprentice
All faces are turned
To the wizard of sentence
Years of experience
Fall from his tongue
Like teardops to puddles
LyricsThey ripple among

A big hand hooray
Oh come all ye trustful
Let the band play
A waltz into mischief

This king of the cowboys
Holds fast his deception
Rides their misgivings
To rapturous reception
Calls on the crowd
Of white pointed heads
To check under carpets
(While we're in our beds?)

A big hand hooray
Oh come all ye trustful
Let the band play
A waltz into mischief

A big hand hooray
Oh come all ye trustful
Let the band play
A waltz into mischief

A big hand hooray
Oh come all ye trustful
Let the band play
A waltz into mischief

More leverage was passed today
From the radio I heard him say
I fixed another lock on my toilet door
House to house checks will commence throughout

Looking at my prize possessions
Trying to remember which ones I own
I could be up for a week's detention
Without a line I could die in there

Another law was passed today
Cut price bullets in your hardware store
And to pass your time of stay
Life size cutouts are your target score

Throwing open the windows
And screaming down the street
Eight o'clock and all is well
Until the brand new beat
Can you smell the brand new beat

LyricsStar shaped badge that shines upon
Comes free in your bumper pack
But if it's left around too long
It'll burn right through to your back

Throwing open the windows
And screaming down the street
Eight o'clock and all is well
Until the brand new beat
Can you smell the brand new beat

Shipped direct via the Isle of Man
The money maker shows his face
He breeds his fear across the land
Then casts off without a trace

Eight o'clock and all is well
Until the brand new beat
You can smell the brand new beat
Can you hear the brand new beat
You can hear the brand new beat
Can you smell the brand new beat

You're looking and listening and hoping
that things are changing for the better
You're trying to see if what you're teaching is the truth sir
You're looking and listening and hoping
that things will change for better
Don't want to preach or teach the blues to you now brother

I just left Victoria Gardens
And walked through cardboard city land
A burnt out star was asking
How would I like to shake his hand

I walked on in no hurry (hurry hurry hurry)
And wondered where did we go wrong?

We're looking and listening and hoping
that things are changing for the better
Don't want to preach or teach the blues to you now brother

I walked on in no hurry (hurry hurry hurry)
And wondered where did we go wrong?
Lyrics
Looking listening hoping that things are changing for the better
(Only time can tell)

It's a bloody fine situation
That we find ourselves in
He said something I couldn't mention (here)
And we laughed with him again

I walked on in no hurry (hurry hurry hurry)
And wondered where did we go wrong?

Looking listening hoping that things are changing for the better
And trying to see if what you're teaching is the truth sir

She said it's for the good of us all
(of us all, of us all, of us all)

Looking listening hoping that things are changing for the better
Don't want to preach or teach the blues to you now brother

I'm not so sure
(sure, sure, sure)

And now it is early evening
I look across grey Leicester Square
A large and silent crowd were walking
Said they had every right to be there

One night in a cold sweat
I heard the call
So without fear and free from fright
I walked tall
As I crept the passages
Only just but faint
In and out of the central heating
It came and then went

Samantha, Samantha dear
I have to be gone
Samantha, oh Samantha dear
But ooh, she slept on

Well I've itched a thousand itches
But this one tops them all
While crouched down with an ear to the ground
I saw the call

Springing up in disbelief
The supension spilt
LyricsAnd peering in a bathroom mirror
Hung the men with guilt

Samantha, Samantha dear
I have to be gone
Samantha, oh Samantha dear
But ooh, she slept on

One night in a cold sweat
I heard the call
So without fear and free from fright
I walked tall

Samantha, Samantha dear
I have to be gone
Samantha, oh Samantha dear
But

Samantha, Samantha dear
I have to be gone
Samantha, oh Samantha dear
But

There were all sorts of funny faces
Being pulled
But mine was the funniest face

Samantha, Samantha dear
I have to be gone
Samantha, oh Samantha dear
But ooh, she slept on

Scouring through the wasteland
With an uge to take
Anything that comes into view
Only ten more puffs to tea time
I've found eating so time consuming

WIllie, oh Willie she cried
It's time for tea
WIllie, where in hell has he gone
It's time for tea

South of the wateland at your D.I.Y.
The inconsiderate rings his till
Offering plans of easy credit
Claims he'll cause a killing in the school half term

WIllie, oh Willie she cried
It's time for tea
WIllie, where in hell has he gone
It's time for tea

LyricsAnd welly well well well what have I found here
A hiding place made by frigid air
I think I'll try it on and give my mates a scare
They'll all be searching neither here nor there

WIllie, oh Willie she cried
It's time for tea
WIllie, where in hell has he gone
It's time for tea

Long depress of autumn breeze
Sucking on a rubber back teeth
Plays into the hands of the hardware man
Who selfishly "I don't care

A train ride to Tuesday
A platform far away
Scarlet shades of evening move clouds of grey
Awaking, arriving
The dirty station where
He passes crowds of people who don't see him there

Here's a desert island room
For a man who's cast away
Stranded in this home from home
>From his family
Far away

Home.
Well this is it
This is it
Is this my heart
I miss you with all my heart
This is not
Is this not
My home
Lyrics
One shoe-lace cardboard suitcase
One passport from the Queen
One room for a light bulb
Where no-one's been
Sticks and stones, my old bones
Not like nineteen fifty-four
Then the liked me fine
But not anymore

This empty room
Where he's marooned
With nothing left to say
But in the dark
He thinks of home far away

Home.
Well this is it
This is it
Is this my heart
I miss you with all my heart
This is not
Is this not
My home

I feel cold, getting old
More than the climate's changed
Stranded on this island
The rate of exchange

Here's a desert island room
For a man who's cast-away
Today he will not be at work
There is no work anyway

How is it when you feel it
Do you wonder what gets you down
You're looking in the windows
When you walk this town

Well we change from one extreme to another
Can you help me with my shame
I didn't mean to when I kicked and punched
From nowhere this demon came

Forgive me for this mindless mood
Accept this honest plea
Don't use me for the devil's food
And throw away the key

Give me a reason so I've got
Someone else to blame
Give me the reason so I've got
Something else to blame

I only meant to wipe away the cries
With the softness of my hand
I didn't mean to break the tie
I'm after all a family man

Give me a reason so I've got
LyricsSomeone else to blame
Give me the reason so I've got
Something else to blame

Give me the reason
Give me a reason

I am the master of this house
Don't try to run away
I tried the same things at your age
And I was also made to pay

Forgive me for this mindless mood
Accept this honest plea
Don't use me for the devil's food
And throw away the key

Mister patience and Misses alike
Upon and throughout the land
A lot of attention
With a heap of affection
Wouldn't go astray

Give me a reason so I've got
Someone else to blame
Give me the reason so I've got
Something else to blame

This is the reason, one of the reasons

I am the reason so I've got only myself to blame
I am the reason so I've got no-one else to blame

Take time for your pleasure
And laugh with love
Take the hand of another
And sing for the wings of a dove

Woah woah, for the wings of a dove
Woah woah, for the wings of a dove

Look up at the rooftops
When you're walking 'round
Don't think for a moment
Of looking down

Woah woah, (Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah) for the wings of a dove
Woah woah, for the wings of a dove
Woah woah, for the wings of a dove
Woah woah, for the wings of a dove

Ha-lellujah (lellujah)
Ha-lellujah (lellujah)

LyricsLook up at the rooftops (the roof)
When you're walking 'round
Don't think for a moment
Of looking down

At a room at the top
Where we're not allowed
Cheer to the echo
Can you hear the sound

Woah woah, (Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah) for the wings of a dove
Woah woah, (Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah) for the wings of a dove
Woah woah, for the wings of a dove
Woah woah, for the wings of a dove

Yeah yeah yeah (etc.)

Woah woah, for the wings of a dove
Woah woah, for the wings of a dove
Et cetera

Blue Train!

Blue train taking me from you....

It's raining again,
I'm hearing its pitter patter down.
It's wet in the street
Reflecting the lights and splashing feet,
Nowhere to go,
And nothing I have to do, have to do.

It's raining again,
I follow the Christmas lights down town.
I'm leaving the flow
Of people walking all around,
Round and round,

I hear the sound of rain falling in my ears
Washing away the weariness like tears.
I can feel my troubles running down,
Disappear into the silent sound.

Just walking along,
My clothes are soaked right through to the skin,
I haven't a doubt, that this is what life is all about,
LyricsThe sun and the rain.
Scraps of paper(???) washing down the drain.

I feel the rain falling on my face
I can say there is no better place
Than standing up in the falling down
In so much rain I could almost drown.

It's raining again
A crack in the clouds reveals blue skies
I've been feeling so low(low)
But now everything is on my side
The sun and the rain.
Walk with me fill my heart again

I hear the rain falling in my ears
Washing away the weariness like tears.
I can feel my troubles running down,
Disappear into the silent sound.

I feel the rain falling on my face
I can say there is no better place
Than standing up in the falling down
In so much rain I could almost drown.

Do de do do de do do do
Do de do de do de do do do
