Caught in the gridlock nose to tail across all lanes
Smog nearly chocking me as the car horns go insane
Patiently waiting to get their old jobs backs
Carrying the human race proudly on their backs
How easily forgotten,
How easily we're led
How hard the path is trodden
From when horsepower meant what it said
I've got a hundred horses hidden in between my wheels
But i can't put my foot down and jumped the fences in the field
Patiently waiting to get their old jobs back
How easily forgotten,
How easily we're led
How hard the path is trodden
From when horsepower meant what it said
And if we're keeping up with progress why am i standing still
Maybe we should take a walk and talk to the horses on the hill
How easily forgotten,
How easily we're led
How hard the path is trodden
From when horsepower meant what it said
How hard the path is trodden
From when horsepower meant what it said

Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair.
In seventy-seven and sixty-nine revolution was in the air.
I was born to late, to a world that doesn't care.
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair.
When the head state didn't play guitar,
Not everybody drove a car.
When music really mattered,
And when radio was king.
When accounts didn't have control
And the media couldn't buy your soul
When computers were so scary
And we didn't know everything
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair.
In seventy-seven and sixty-nine revolution was in the air.
I was born to late, to a world that doesn't care.
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair.
When popstars still remained a myth,
And ignorance could still be bliss.
And when God saved the queen she turned a whiter shade of pale.
My mum and dad were in there jeans
And anarchy was still a dream
And the only way to stay in touch was a letter in the mail.
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair.
In seventy-seven and sixty-nine revolution was in the air.
I was born to late, to a world that doesn't care.
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair.
When record shops were still on top
And vinyl was all that they stopped
And the super info highway was still drifting out in space
Kids were wearing hand-me downs
And playing games meant kick arounds
And footballers still had long hair and dirt across there face
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair.
In seventy-seven and sixty-nine revolution was in the air.
I was born to late, to a world that doesn't care.
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair.
I was born to late, to a world that doesn't care.
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair.

Sometimes I see her down by the river
The water dances on her skin
She can captivate to hit the ice
But she never lets you in
In the dark she lingers
Like a tear without a soul
And I what a lonely girl
Trying to find her way
In this mixed up messed up world
And I see so many faces just like her
So many broken hearts in the world
And I what a lonely what a lonely girl
He said lately she's been watching the weather
The weather doesn't know what to do
'cause sometimes when its cold outside
That's when she's feeling blue
But I see through her sadness deep into her soul
All she's wants to have is someone she can love to make whole
And I what a lonely girl
Trying to find her way
In this mixed up messed up world
And I see so many faces just like her
So many broken hearts in the world
And I what a lonely what a lonely girl
Isn't it regrettable'
Oh isn't it regrettable
She finds her love and then she lets it go
And I see so many faces just like her
So many broken hearts in the world
And I what a lonely what a lonely day
And I what a lonely girl
Trying to find her way
In this mixed up messed up world
And I see so many faces just like her
So many broken hearts in the world
And I what a lonely what a lonely girl
And I what a lonely what a lonely girl

A simple scent of summer stole my heart for the last dance
The smell of two-stroke petrol from a motorbike we used to have
Those playing fields of cut grass you know high school left me kind of blue
Now with every sweet summer breeze I'll be thinking of you
Now I'm waiting for the sunset borderline
Every suns gotta set with time
But I'll remember those moments for evermore
As the days where nothing had changed at all.
Found a long lost picture of the car we used to run
Cotton candy coloured paintwork looked so faded in the sun
And that 6 o clock sunrise you always used to drive me to
Guess that long lost picture will always have me thinking, have me thinking of
you
Now I'm waiting for the sunset borderline
Every suns gotta set with time
But I'll remember those moments for evermore
As the days where nothing had changed at all.
So for every little sad sweet love song that's ever sung, I'll be thinking
And for every lost summers day that ever been and gone, I'll be thinking
I wonder if your gonna be the tear that follows me,
Until that sun is set I guess I'll always be
Waiting for the sunset borderline
Every suns gotta set with time
But I'll remember those moments for evermore
As the days where nothing had changed at all.
Turned into the radio flicking through the stations one by one
Tried to listen through the rain while
Humming those melodies alone
I remember how you told me lennon & mccartney
Always pulled you through
So as the music fades out I'll be thinking, I'll be thinking of you
. . .

Some things are meant to be the way they're gonna be
'Cos you can't stop time or change history
Sometimes all you saw were the things you wanted to see
if you be lookin for the answer you would have to go to me
'Cos now you've only got a moment boy
To get it right to get it right to get it right to get it right
So if you really wanted me you'd show me how
'Cos I'm your little remedy if you take me now
Oh If you really wanted me you'd show me how
'Cos I'm your little remedy if you take me now
Some things in this life, they just pass you by
But they're gone forever in the blink of an eye
This time you gotta do what you always had to do
So open up your heart and show me that you're true
'Cos now you've only got a moment boy
To get it right to get it right to get it right to get it right
'Cos if you really wanted me you'd show me how
'Cos I'm your little remedy if you take me now
Oh If you really wanted me you'd show me how
'Cos I'm your little remedy if you take me now
Oh If you really wanted me you'd show me how
'Cos I'm your little remedy if you take me now
Oh If you really wanted me you'd show me how
'Cos I'm your little remedy if you take me now
Just now the minutes keep ticking past
So if you think that our love's gonna last
'Cos now you've only got a moment boy
To get it right to get it right to get it right to get it right
So if you really wanted me you'd show me how
'Cos I'm your little remedy if you take me now
Oh If you really wanted me you'd show me how
'Cos I'm your little remedy if you take me now
Oh If you really wanted me you'd show me how
'Cos I'm your little remedy if you take me now
Oh If you really wanted me you'd show me how
'Cos I'm your little remedy if you take me now
If you take me now
If you take me now
Yes take me now
If you take me now
So take me now

I'm just skimming stones against the lake
While my dreams pass me by
I've never known what to make of life
But I guess I'm willing to try
Sometimes it's better sometimes it's worse
Sometimes it heals sometimes it hurts....
So hail to the morning wherever it dawns down on me
It's now that I get to thinking
Some castles lie way beneath the sea.
You always said that it would be such a long summer
And now its here and I can break the ice on this cold water
Sometimes it's better sometimes it's worse
Sometimes it heals sometimes it hurts....
So hail to the morning wherever it dawns down on me
It's now that I get to thinking
Some castles lie way beneath the sea.
So hail to the morning wherever it dawns down on me
It's now that I get to thinking that life's a mystery
So long live the moonlight wherever it shines down on me
With the strength to part the ocean
I'll find my castle lies way beneath the sea

You'll take me on a journey
And be there till the end
It won't be an uphill struggle
On you I can depend
You promised me a dream home
With roses round the door
You'll cover me in diamonds
There's nothing I want more
And
You'll be strong
And you'll turn me on
But I've got my doubts and what if I'm right?
You'll be true and be faithful too
But I've got my doubts and what if I'm right?
What if I'm right?
'cos if the rain starts falling
You'll protect me with your coat
And you'll always tape the football
And let me watch my soap
You'll always be as handsome
And your weight will never gain
And when I give birth to our children
I will feel no pain
And
You'll bring me flowers
And you'll bring the showers
But I've got my doubts and what if I'm right?
You'll say I'm thin and bring the washing in
But I've got my doubts and what if I'm right?
What if I'm right?
You'll always keep the magic
The tender love and care
And when you need to change the light bulb
You wont hand me the chair
And when we're tired of the city
And we find a country home
You'll sell your vinyl records
And go get us a loan
You'll be my sympathetic lover
And won't steal the covers
But I've got my doubts and what if I'm right?
You won't forsake me
Your mother won't hate me
But I've got my doubts and what if I'm right?
You'll be strong
And you'll turn me on
But I've got my doubts and what if I'm right?
You'll be true
And be faithful too
But I've got my doubts and what if I'm right?
What if I'm right?

Some of us are reaching for stardust
Some of us are digging for gold
But it won't mean a lot on a mountaintop
When the wind reaches out for your soul
Some of us stand in the spotlight
Waiting for a round of applause
When the people go home you're left all alone
To face the sadness behind closed doors
I don't want the sun don't want you to run
Don't want superman don't need wonderland
Just want you to love me
Some of us want silver linings
To be the belle of the ball
Going down in a blaze of glory
The story means nothing at all
I don't want the sun don't want you to run
Don't want superman don't need wonderland
Just want you to love me
I don't want the stars or venus or mars
Don't want superman don't need wonderland
Just want you to love me just want you to love me
Don't want superman don't need wonderland
Just want you to love me

Walter the war hero he's there from opening till time, time, time
There's Mary the housewife who's slumped at the bar drinkin' wine, wine, wine
They get Kylie on a wednesday, the Stones on a friday, bob to the Beatles on a saturday night
He's Dylan on a monday and Bowie on a sunday, does Beegees on a thursday as high as a kite
And they call him the human jukebox, he plays second-hand rock n' roll
And they call him the human jukebox, yet only he's healing hearts with his soul
Skyvers with fivers shine up their shoes for the show, show, show
and they all sing along to the songs till it's time please to go, go, go
They get Kylie on a wednesday, the Stones on a friday, bob to the Beatles on a saturday night
He's Dylan on a monday and Bowie on a sunday, does Elton on a thursday if you lend him your tights
And they call him the human jukebox, he plays second-hand rock n' roll
And they call him the human jukebox, yet only he's healing hearts with his soul
They're karaoke kings for the evening, it's their only real shining time, and if you ever stop believin', and the real world gets you down
Go see the human jukebox, he plays second-hand rock n' roll
Yeah they call him the human jukebox, yet only he's healing hearts with his soul
Yeah they call him the human jukebox, he plays second-hand rock n' roll
Yeah they call him the human jukebox, yet only he's healing hearts with his soul

Roller skates and bumblebees
Holding hands and grazing knees
Dressing up and falling down
Paul and mike are coming round
Being good to stay up late
Forget to shut the garden gate
Built a house up in a tree
Been making plans since I was three
Time catches everyone
And the world goes round the sun
And the memory lives on in my heart
Going back to the start
Skiving french and stealing mars
Hanging out in rosie's bar
Getting changed straight after school
Smoking fags and playing pool
Rainbow coming over me
But I like graham connelly
Getting caught in someone's car
This time kid you've gone too far
Time catches everyone
And the world goes round the sun
But the memory lives on in my heart
Going back to the start
Forever forever forever
Up and down to liverpool
Learning lines to play the fool
Hanging out at hannah's bar
Got too drunk to drive the car
Even though I'd love to stay
It's time to work not to time to play
And even though you're now for me
Soon you'll be a memory
Time catches everyone
And the world goes round the sun
And the memory lives on in my heart
Time catches everyone
And the world goes round the sun
And the memory lives on in my heart
Going back to the start
Forever forever forever
