Did you think that you had it all worked out
But then they changed their minds?
You're left with the feeling
That you've been left out
Without a thought for who you left behind
Well there's a tried and tested potion that I know
Go out and get loaded go and give it a go
I want you to know, yeah I want you to know
Were all of your cards marked in advance
As you threw them on the table
There's no such thing as a second chance
Look at Auntie George and Uncle Mabel
Well there's a tried and tested motion that they know
Sat down with arms folded they don't wanna know
So did you think that you had it all worked out
But then they changed their minds?
You're left with the feeling
That you've been left out
Without a thought for who you left behind
Well there's a tried and tested notion you should know
Now you're feeling loaded you've got nowhere to go
I want you to know
Want you to know
Want you to know
Want you to know
Yeah I want you to know

How would you feel if I was to kneel right down,
at your feet, right now?
Is the way it's going to be from
now until to forever,
Let's have less of getting clever with me
Who would you blame for blowing the flame right out?
Is it me?
There is no doubt I can do what I want to do from
now until forever,
Let's have less of getting clever with me
You're wasting your time
and my time as well la la la living a lie,
I guess that time will tell.
You're making excuses
'bout the things you never done.
Walking in circles, blinded by the sun.
Blinded the sun.
Who would you blame for blowing the flame right out?
Is it me?
There is no doubt I can do what I want to do from
now until forever,
Let's have less of getting clever with me
You're wasting your time
and my time as well la la la living a lie,
I guess that time will tell.
You're making excuses
'bout the things you never done.
You're walking in circles, blinded by the sun.
Blinded the sun.
I don't mean to sound unkind,
to you.
You just have to go and find
something else to do.
And don't ask me what went wrong
the list goes on and on and on and on.
The list goes on and on and on and on.
The list goes on and on.

Please may I leave the table
I don't think that I'll be able
To swallow your family values again today
Because a giant squid
He stole my wife and kid
Full story and pix
Ten pence off your Weetabix, yeah, yeah
Sometimes this world just drives you
Crazy, lately
Yeah and the smoke gets in your eyes
Run the exhaust back inside
Close the window and take a ride
I've got a place to go
Nowhere to hide
On Suicide Drive
Drive as fast as you can
I speed therefore I am
And no-one can tell me better when I'm high
But the earth's full of holes
And outer space is closed
It's mine and I'll wash it
As fast as I like it while I've got it yeah
Sometimes this world just drives you
Crazy, lately
Yeah and the smoke gets in your eyes
Run the exhaust back inside
Close the window and take a ride
I've got a place to go
Nowhere to hide
On Suicide Drive
Mile after mile
Superdupermegahyperchocablocka aisles
Where do we go from here?
Sometimes this world just drives you
Crazy, lately
Yeah and the smoke gets in your eyes
Run the exhaust back inside
Close the window and take a ride
I've got a place to go
There's nowhere to hide
On Suicide Drive

I asked the boy in the picture what could he see?
He said it's been twenty long years
but you still look like me
If you find somebody that you need
go ahead and tell her show her what you mean
And soon you'll find that love is blind and free
If you see Sally or Smokey say hello from me
Tell them I hope they're happy
Working the beach, just out of reach, but free
I asked the boy in the picture
how's your brother been?
He said he's doing just fine now but
he's still a little too thin
And then the boy in the picture he asked me
Got any tips where do I go wrong and,
Who am I going to be?

We lived in a dogfish egg case
You could barely call it home
Sorry little lot no roof on top
But the fish left us alone
Try a little more said the girl next
Door it's time to roam
Mad Lizzy Crumbs blind cobblers
Thumbs were a sight to behold
She was a rum old slapper and we always
Tried to get her pants off when she phoned
Left her cap by the sink it's not what you think
Oh take me home
Now we know where we're going baby
We can lay back and enjoy the ride
Take in the sights and drown in our senses
Love is the law so take me deep inside
Strap on Sally chased us down the alley
We feared for our behinds
Oasis was a shop with shoes so hot
They were sure to blow your mind
Running so fast I can taste the past
Oh take me home
Now we know where we're going baby
We can lay back and enjoy the ride
Take in the sights and drown in our senses
Love is the law so take me deep inside
These waters run deep it's clear my little one
Blue velvet star sky not a sound
The light in your eyes the smile on your ruby lips
Tells me my lost soul is found
Now we know where we're going baby
We can lay back and enjoy the ride
Take in the sights and drown in our senses
Love is the law so take me deep inside

Don't believe in Jesus
don't believe in Jah
don't believe in the wars we fight
just to prove how real we are
I believe in lovers
I believe in friends
I believe in heaven here on earth
'till the, the beginning ends
love me and leave me
love me and leave me
love me and leave me
leave me to love
don't you ever tell me it came from above
just love me and leave me
leave me to love
I believe in heroes
I believe in stars
I believe that we'll meet one day
say hello in some astral bar
I believe in brothers
I know you know who you are
here's to those who bore us
and made us what we are
love me and leave me
love me and leave me
love me and leave me
leave me to love
don't you ever tell me it came from above
just love me and leave me
leave me to love

Did I step down from a spaceship
that was orbiting your earth?
Shining like a star above
you way down in the dirt
Won't you take me to your leader,
Won't you show me round the sights?
I don't think I've landed here before
but then again I might
Because your face looks so familiar
But your eyes have lost their shine
I can take you round the universe
In a hot wired police car
We can ram raid Mars and Jupiter
And drive right through a star
There's one thing you can do for me
hear me now my friend
Tell me, tell me, tell me why,
all good things must come
To an end?
Did I crash land in your conscience?
Did I rain on your parade?
Am I your alien abduction nightmare?
Won't you be my slave?
Is there anybody in there?
Hey there earthling get the phone
Your virtual reality's a house it's not a home
Well a truth as strange as fiction is
right there in your eyes
. . .

She likes to rise early in the morning
She does her best to blow the cobwebs away
And if it's still light
Maybe she'll skip breakfast
And hope that someone can throw
A little stardust her way, yeah
Crossing the room the day after
The night before nightmare
Pink blue eyes drink in the aftermath
The world's her oyster anything she chooses
This little girl doesn't know where
Her shoes is, yeah
Sixteen sweet Chablis sham kisses
Seventeen nothing's whispered in her ear
Eighteen attempts on her best pair of knickers
1999 was a hell of a year
She likes to rise early in the morning
She does her best to blow the cobwebs away
And if it's still light
Maybe she'll skip breakfast
And hope that someone can throw
A little stardust her way, yeah
That must have been a night to remember
Shame she forgot

He is falling down the starcase,
He don't know just how to stop,
He's forty flights from bottom,
And sixty from the top
He's a man on a mission
As brave as he seem
A lonely life's ambition
Got sieve for a brain
You won't miss your water,
till' your well runs dry
You can't taste the truth
When you're drinking a lie
It's a long hard road
But we've gotta make it through
So tell me, tell me,
What in the world are we gonna do?
So don't dig yourself any deeper
The only color that I see is red
My life would be so much sweeter
Well, I'm standing on the top of your head
And when you reach the bottom
When you hit my killing floor
I'll be there to greet you
And show you to the door
It's a bright sunny day,
Not a cloud in the sky
So say your prayers one last time
Cuz' today's the day you will die
So don't dig yourself any deeper
The only color that I see is red
My life would be so much sweeter
Well, I'm standing on the top of your head
You should be better off dead
My life would be so much sweeter
Standing on the top of your head,
You are a sinner, don't let me down
No, I'll never forget, you put me down
You could run like a cheater, I'd still got you
You can tell me to, do anything you wanna do
. . .

I know the wind and the rain and the lightning
And the thunder's filled my brain
Have I changed? I'm asking you
All I know is the sun and it's shining
Way above my cloud so high it can't be found
We all look around
For the times we've left behind
Oh well never mind, I'll take you there tomorrow
And I'm sorry if I seem to always vent my spleen
It's not the path I choose to follow
So hello
And I hope you're still my friend
I think I'm on the mend
And you know I don't mean to offend
I wish we all could fly
All I know is the sun and it's shining
Way above my cloud
So high it can't be found
. . .
