...::: Shame (met Gary Barlow) :::...
R. Williams & G. Barlow
Well there’s three versions of this story,
Mine and yours and then the truth
Now we can put it down to circumstance,
Our childhood then our youth
Out of some sentimental gain
I wanted you to feel my pain
But it came back return to sender
I read your mind and tried to call
My tears could fill the Albert Hall
Is this the sound of sweet surrender
What a shame we never listened
I told you through the television
And all that went away was the price we pay
People spend a lifetime this way
Oh what a shame
So I got busy throwing everybody underneath the bus
Oh! And with your poster thirty foot high at the back of Toys “R” Us
I wrote a letter in my mind but the words were so unkind
About a man I can’t remember
I don’t recall the reasons why,
I must have meant them at the time
Is this the sound of sweet surrender?
What a shame we never listened
I told you through the television
And all that went away was the price we pay
People spend a lifetime this way
That's how they stay
Oh what a shame
Words come easy, when they’re true
Words come easy, when they’re true
So I got busy throwing everybody underneath the bus,
And with your poster thirty foot high at the back of Toys “R” Us
Now we can put it down to circumstance
Our childhood then our youth
What a shame we never listened
I told you through the television
And all that went away was the price we paid
People spend a lifetime this way
And that's how they stay
People spend a lifetime this way
Oh what a shame, what a shame
Such a shame, what a shame
Pitiful shame, real shame
And stuff, proper shame
Shame, shame
...::: Heart And I :::...
R. Williams & G. Barlow
I hope there's a golden age
I pray for my sanity
Where we don't have to answer
to anyone 'bout anything
This is not like the brochure
Flying cars and sex machines
We're all so compliant 'cause
everything is what it seems
And they can't build a satallite,
to tell you how loved you are
Or some kind of life device that
holds you when you've gone
too far
And I don't feel myself again
I thought I'd be fixed by now
Walking through the horizon,
I found myself back here somehow
Give me something to die for
Or design a guiet mind
Something to like mankind for,
'cause we don't lie, my heart and I
You've been bending so long now
You think it's standing up
And they line up behind you to
build up, buttercup
We could lose all meaning
Quicker then a credit card
And not everyone's healing so try
your best and don't love too hard
'Cause they can't build a satellite
To tell you what's in your heart
Or some kind of life device that
holds you when you've gone
too far
And I don't feel myself again
I thought I'd be fixed by now
Walking through the horizon,
I found myself back here somehow
Give me something to die for
Or design a guiet mind
Something to like mankind for,
'cause we don't lie, my heart and I
Will I ever feel that way again?
(Will I feel love?)
Naked as a lullaby (not really)
Don't ask me to explain again
(got meaning)
I can't to my heart and I
And I don't feel myself again
I thought I'd be fixed by now
Walking through the horizon,
I found myself back here somehow
Give me something to die for
Or design a guiet mind
Something to like mankind for,
'cause we don't lie, my heart and I
My heart and I
My heart and I
I been feeling so lonely
Feeling so low, so low I almost
let go
...::: Morning sun :::...
R. Williams & D. Spencer & K. Andrews & R. Scott & S.
Ralph & D. Black
How do you rate the morning sun
After a long and sleepless night
How many stars would you give to the moon
Do you see those stars from where you are
Shine on the lost and loneliest
The ones who can’t get over it
And you always wanted more than life
But now you don’t have the appetite
In a message to the troubadour
The world don’t love you anymore
Tell me how do you rate the morning sun
Stuck inside the rainbow years
And you could happen to me
‘Cause I’ve been close to where you are
I drove to places you have seen
It all seems so familiar
Like they’d been sent to kill ya
It doesn’t take an astronaut
To float into space is just a thought
The morning brings a mystery
The evening makes it history
Tell me how do you rate the morning sun
And the village drunk
Sadly passed away
It was a shame
I never knew his name
I wonder if he sat there every morning
And watched the sun rise
How do you rate the morning sun
It was just too heavy for me
And all I wanted was the world
If you are the starlet in the sun
Don’t go wasting your time
‘Cause there is no finish line
And you don’t see anything
Not even love not anything
The night could take the man from you
A sense of wonder overdue
The morning brings a mystery
The evening makes it history
Who am I to rate the morning sun
...::: Bodies :::...
R. Williams & C. Russo & B. Christy
God gave me the
sunshine, then showed me my lifeline
I was told it was all mine, then I got laid on the layline
What a day, what a day, and your Jesus really died for me
Then Jesus really tried for me
UK and entropy, I feel like its fuckin me
Wanna feed off the energy, love living like a deity
What a day, one day, and your Jesus really died for me
I guess Jesus really tried for me
Bodies in the bodhi tree, Bodies making chemistry
Bodies on my family, Bodies in the way of me
Bodies in the cemetery, and that’s the way it’s gonna be
All we’ve ever wanted is to look good naked hope that someone
can take it
God save me rejection from my reflection, I want perfection
Praying for the rapture, cause it’s stranger getting stranger
And everything’s contagious it’s the modern middle ages
All day every day and if Jesus really died for me
Then Jesus really tried for me
Bodies in the bodhi tree, Bodies making chemistry
Bodies on my family, Bodies in the way of me
Bodies in the cemetery, and that’s the way it’s gonna be
All we’ve ever wanted is to look good naked hope that someone
can take it
God save me rejection from my reflection, I want perfection
Bodies in the bodhi tree, Bodies making chemistry
Bodies on my family, Bodies in the way of me
Bodies in the cemetery,
Bodies in the bodhi tree, Bodies making chemistry
Bodies on my family, Bodies in the way of me
Bodies in the cemetery, and that’s the way it’s gonna be
All we’ve ever wanted is to look good naked hope that someone
can take it
So God save me rejection from my reflection, I want perfection
Jesus didn’t die for you, what do you want?
(I want perfection)
Jesus didn’t die for you, what are you on?
...::: You know me :::...
R. Williams & D. Spencer & K. Andrews & F. Hardy
If a man can be his own fantasy then to only breed in
captivity is pointless
I’ve been doing what I like, when I like, how I like, it’s
joyless
Only you know me
What a waste of war this peace
Baby steps and two more sleeps
Till I get to say sorry
I get hysterical historicals of love it’s just chemicals
Give us something to stop me
Only you know me
Since you went away my heart breaks every day
And you don’t know ‘cause you’re not there
You simply found the words to make all modern feelings fade away
Only you know me
I’m doing fine and the sun often shines
What are you thinking?
I done bruised up my mind with this Thunderbird wine
Baby I’m drinking
Only you know me
Since you went away my heart breaks every day
And you don’t know ‘cause you’re not there
You simply found the words to make all modern feelings fade away
Only you know me
Only you know me
Since you went away my heart breaks every day
And you don’t know ‘cause you’re not there
You simply found the words to make all modern feelings fade away
Only you know me
Only you know me
All the way
Waiting for you, all my life
...::: She's Madonna :::...
R. Williams & S. Duffy & C. Heath
Oh, Madonna (Madonna)
I don't miss you,
just who
you used to be
And you don't ring true,
so please
stop calling me
Your 'I love you's
are ten a penny
You're dropping clues
like you've got any
You've got to choose
There's been so many, oh
I love you baby,
but face it she's Madonna
No man on earth
could say that he don't want her
This look of love
says I'm leaving
You're frozen now,
I've done the freezing
I'm walking out,
Madonna's calling me
She's got to be
obscene
to be believed
That's her routine,
not what she means to me
I found myself
by circumstance
Across a room
where people dance
And quite by chance
she danced
right next me
I love you baby,
but face it she's Madonna
No man on earth
could say that he don't want her
It's me not you,
I've got to move on
You're younger too,
but she's got her groove on
I'm sorry love,
Madonna's calling me
Oh, Madonna (Madonna)
I want to tell you a secret
We're having drinks
with Kate and Stella
Gwyneth's here,
she's brought her fella
But all I wanna do
is take Madonna home
I love you baby,
but face it she's Madonna
No man on earth
could say that he don't want her
It's me not you,
I've got to move on
You're younger too,
but she's got her groove on
I'm sorry love,
Madonna's calling me

Lovelight :::...
L. Taylor
What am I supposed to do
To keep from going under
Now you're making holes in my heart
And yes it's starting to show
I've been holding back
Is it any wonder
Since you walked right into my life
And interrupted my flow
And I wanna know
Baby when you're with me
Who do you think you're fooling
Making me feel so sure
Turning your lovelight down again
Why don't you let me be
You don't know what you're doing
Making me feel so sure
Turning your lovelight down again
Did it again, did it again
Baby I've got to know
Are we gonna make it
Laying down beside me tonight
Do whatever you feel
Baby you're in control
Where you gonna take it
Don't you think that I do you right
You know darn well that I will
I wanna know
Baby when you're with me
Who do you think you're fooling
Making me feel so sure
Turning your lovelight down again
Why don't you let me be
You don't know what you're doing
Making me feel so sure
Turning your lovelight down again
Do it again, do it again
Baby you turn the lovelight down
And I don't know
Just how long I can stick around
Girl I need more
And it ain't just physical
But dunno what I can do, if I've found
That it ain't love this time around
Keep turning down your lovelight
Did it again
Whenever you...
Baby when you're with me
Who do you think you're fooling
Making me feel so sure
Turning your lovelight down again
Why don't you let me be
You don't know what you're doing
Making me feel so sure
And turning your lovelight down again
...::: Rudebox :::...
R. Williams & K. Andrews & D. Spencer & B. Laswell & C. Aiken & W.
Collins & S. Dunbar & R. Shakespeare
Do de rudebox,
shake your rudebox
Ok then back to basics
Grab your shell toes and your fat laces
A little hand clap for some funk faces
And make your body move in the following places
Goes up your back and then down your spine
And when it hits your head...
Ok then back to bass-heads
Dance like you just won at the special Olympics
I got the rudebox of the back of a spaceship
So sick I just had to take it
The R.U.D.E.B.O.X.
Up yer jacksy, split yer kecks
Sing a song of semtex
Pocket full of Durex
Body full of Mandrax
Are we gonna have sex (yes)
Will you wear your knee socks (oh)
Back to the rudebox
Got this double fantasy
Where we just never stop
I've got one design
And that's to funk you to the top
Know whats on my mind
There's only one thing you will find
I got one design
And that's to bump you 'till you drop
Rudebox, do the rudebox,
'Cause you so nasty
Rudebox, shake your rudebox,
Why you so nasty
Rudebox, do the rudebox,
'Cause you so nasty
Rudebox, shake your rudebox,
Why you so nasty
Ok then back to spaceship
Take both pills, fuck the matrix
Jack those jills, shake your Playtex
Rock three stripes, not the Asics
A.D.I.D.A.S. old school
'Cause it's the best (yes)
TK Max cost less (yes)
Jackson looks a mess (bless)
Ok then what to do
If you try to jack me
I'll rudebox you
If you rudebox me
I'll rudebox your whole crew
'Cause it's what I do
Ain't that right boo (true)
I'll ride with you
If you can get me to the border
'Cause the Sheriff's after me
For what I did to his daughter
I did it like this (you did it like that)
I love it when you double clap, clap
Got this double fantasy
Where we just never stop
I've got one design
And that's to funk you to the top
Know whats on my mind
There's only one thing you will find
I got one design
And that's to bump you 'till you drop
Rudebox, do the rudebox,
'Cause you so nasty
Rudebox, shake your rudebox,
Why you so nasty
Rudebox, do the rudebox,
'Cause you so nasty
Rudebox, shake your rudebox,
Why you so nasty
Ok then check the tan line
Make your body shape
Like you're stood on a landmine
Call me on my mobile
Not the landline
And the jack the mainline
At the same time
Ok this is what we do
Got a jam so fresh it's nice for you
Ok give it what you got
And dial 808 for the bass to drop
Ok then what's the fracas
Grab your cardy, your lead hat
And your bus pass
You don't sweat much for a fat lass
Grab your rudebox 'cause your box is righteous
Ok bum rush the show
I got high speed dubbing on my stereo
And all the tunes in the box are the cherrio
I know I told you before,
Did you hear me though
Got this double fantasy
Where we just never stop
I've got one design
And that's to funk you to the top
Know what's on my mind
There's only one thing you will find
I got one design
And that's to bump you 'till you drop
Rudebox, do the rudebox,
'Cause you so nasty
Rudebox, shake your rudebox,
Why you so nasty
Rudebox, do the rudebox,
'Cause you so nasty
Rudebox, shake your rudebox,
Why you so nasty
Do the rudebox, shake your rudebox
...::: Sin sin sin

R. Williams & S. Duffy & C. Heath
Don't let your eyes tell the brain
You should feel ashamed
Everyone needs it baby
And I feel the same
Didn't quite catch your name
Hush hush hush don't say a thing
Lets see what the night will bring
It might be everything
Oh it hurts when you're too blind to see
Please don't read my mind I tell the truth to me
Sin sin sin look where we've been
And where we are tonight
Hate the sin not the sinner
I'm just after a glimmer of love
And life deep inside
Hush hush hush
To speak is a sin
And neither of us need rescuing
Just relax
It's what Jesus would do
We're made in his image baby
Let's ride this thing through
Oh it hurts 'when you're to blind to see
What about us
Well it was just for me
Sin sin sin look where we've been
And where we are tonight
Hate the sin not the sinner
I'm just after a glimmer of love
And life deep inside
I won't sing of amore
It don't sound sincere
Love is a cliché
But if it's not here I'll disappear
Sin sin sin look where we've been
And where we are tonight
Hate the sin not the sinner
I'm just after a glimmer of love
And life deep inside
It's love great sex joy
I love you, you love my hate
And it feels inside my
Feels inside
Feels inside

R. Williams & S. Duffy
There's no earthly way of knowing
What was in your heart
When it stopped going
The whole world shook
A storm was blowing through you
Waiting for god to stop this
And up to your neck in darkness
Everyone around you was corrupted
Say something
There's no dignity in death
To sell the world your last breath
We're still fighting over everything you left
I saw you standing at the gates
When Marlon Brando passed away
You had that look upon your face
Advertising space
No one learned from your mistakes
We let our prophets go to waste
All that's left in any case
Is advertising space
Through your eyes the world was burning
Please be gentle I'm still learning
You seemed to say as you kept turning up
They poison you with compromise
At what point did you realise
That everybody loves your life but you
A special agent for the man
Through Watergate and Vietnam
No one really gave a damn
Did you think the CIA did
I saw you standing at the gates
When Marlon Brando passed away
You had that look upon your face
Advertising space
No one learned from your mistakes
We let our prophets go to waste
All that's left in any case
Is advertising space
No one learned from your mistakes
We let our prophets go to waste
All that's left in any case
Is advertising space
I've seen your daughter man she's cute
I was scared but I wanted to
Boy she looks a lot like you
...::: Make me pure
:::...
R. Williams & S. Duffy & C. Heath
So I sing a song
To reel 'em in
It's a song I've sung before and A song I'm going
to sing again
I mean every word and I don't mean a single one
of them
Oh Lord make me pure but not yet
Tell a joke
Tell it twice
If no one else is laughing then why am I
I split my sides both times and laugh untill I cry
Oh Lord please make me pure but not yet
I don't have to try
I just dial it in
I've never found a job that for me was worth
bothering
I've got a ton of selfish genes and lazy bones
beneath this skin
Oh Lord please make me pure but not yet
Smoking kills
Sex sells
I've got one hand in my pocket but the other one
looks cool as hell
I know I'm going to die so my revenge is living
well
Oh Lord please make me pure but not yet
I stopped praying so I hope this song will do
I wrote it all for you
I'm not perfect, but you don't mind that, do you
I know you're there to pull me through
Aren't you?
So I look for love
I like the search
And I've been standing for election all across the
known universe
Every president gets the country she deserves
Oh Lord please make me pure but not yet
I've been seeing
Somebody's wife
She said she'd leave him for me, and I said that
wasn't wise
You can't lie to a liar, because of all the lies
Oh Lord please make me pure but not yet
...:::
Tripping :::...
R. Williams & S. Duffy
First they ignore you
Then laugh at you and hate you
Then they fight you - then you win
When the truth dies
Very bad things happen
They're being heartless again
I know it’s coming
There's going to be violence
I've taken as much
As I'm willing to take
Why do you think
We should suffer in silence
When a heart is broken
There's nothing to break
(Chorus Backing Vocal:
Want you to love me
Want you to be
The heavens above me
Eternally)
You've been mixing
With some very heavy faces
The boys have done a bit of bird
They don't kill their own
And they all love their mothers
But you're out of your depth son
Have a word
I know it’s coming
There's going to be violence
I've taken as much
As I'm willing to take
Why do you think
We should suffer in silence
The heart is broken
There's nothing to break
All is wonderful in past lives
Dreaming of the sun she warms
You should see me in the afterlife
Picking up the sons of dust
When you think we're lost
We're exploring
What do you think is worthless
I’m adoring
You don't want the truth
Truth is boring
I got this fever need to
Leave the house leave the car
Leave the bad men where they are
Leave a few shells in my gun
Stop me staring at the sun
I know it’s coming
There's going to be violence
I've taken as much
As I'm willing to take
Why do you say
We should suffer in silence
A heart is broken
There's nothing to break
I know it’s coming
There's going to be violence
I've taken as much
As I'm willing to take
Why do you think
We should suffer in silence
A heart is broken
There's nothing to break
...::: Misunderstood :::...
R. Williams & S. Duffy
I was trying to be misunderstood
But it didn't do me any good
I always seem to start a fight
I'd break my heart to make things right
Let them all fly off
When it comes down it all comes down
And you will not be found
When it's over it's all over
And even if you make a sound
You'll be misunderstood
By the beautiful and good in this city
But none of it was planned
Take me by the hand
Just don't try and understand
Trying to be misunderstood
Another product of my childhood
Still I find myself outside
You can't say I haven't tried
Perhaps I tried too hard
No excuses I won't apologise
Or justify your lies
Come and find me tell them to me
Now look me in the eyes
I'll be misunderstood
By the beautiful and good in this city
But none of it was planned
Take me by the hand
Just don't try and understand
I can't forgive sorry to say
Don't know you're guilty anyway
Isn't it funny how we don't speak
The language of love?

...::: Sexed up :::...
R. Williams & G. Chambers
Loose lips sunk ships
I'm getting to grips with what you said
No it's not in my head
I can't awaken the dead day after day
Why don't we talk about it?
Why do you always doubt that there can be a better way?
It doesn't make me wanna stay
Why don't we break up?
There's nothing left to say
I've got my eyes shut
Praying they won't stray
And we're not sexed up
That's what makes the difference today
I hope you blow away
You say we're fatally flawed
Well I'm easily bored, is that ok?
Write me off your list
Make this the last kiss, I'll walk away
Why don't we talk about it?
I'm only here don't shout it
Given time we'll forget
Let's pretend we never met
Why don't we break up?
There's nothing left to say
I've got my eyes shut
Praying they won't stray
And when I'm sexed up
That's what makes the difference today
I hope you blow away
Screw you, I didn't like your taste
Anyway, I chose you and that's all gone to waste
It's Saturday, I'll go out
And find another you
Why don't we break up?
There's nothing left to say
I've got my eyes shut
Praying they won't stray
And when I'm sexed up
That's what makes the difference today
I hope you blow away
I hope you blow away
I hope you blow away
I hope you blow away
I hope you blow away
Away
Blow away
...::: Something beautiful :::...
R.
Williams & G. Chambers
You can't manufacture a miracle
The silence was pitiful - that day
And love is getting too cynical
Passion's just physical - these days
You analyse everyone you meet
But get no sign - the loving kind
Every night you admit defeat
And cry yourself blind
If you can't wake up in the morning
'Cause your bed lies vacant at night
If you're lost, hurt, tired or lonely
Can't control it - try as you might
May you find that love that won't leave you
May you find it by the end of the day
You won't be lost, hurt, tired and lonely
Something beautiful will come your way
The DJ said on the radio
Life should be stereo - each day
And the past that cast the unsuitable
Instead of some kind of beautiful
You just couldn't wait
All your friends think you're satisfied
But they can't see your soul, no, no, no
Forgot the time feeling petrified
When they lived alone
If you can't wake up in the morning
'Cause your bed lies vacant at night
If you're lost, hurt, tired or lonely
Can't control it - try as you might
May you find that love that won't leave you
May you find it by the end of the day
You won't be lost, hurt, tired and lonely
Something beautiful will come your way
(It'll come your way)
(It'll come your way) Some kind of beautiful
(It'll come your way) Some kind of beautiful
(It'll come your way) Some kind of beautiful
(It'll come your way)
All your friends think you're satisfied
But they can't see your soul, no, no, no
Forgot the time feeling petrified
When they lived alone
If you can't wake up in the morning
'Cause your bed lies vacant at night
If you're lost, hurt, tired or lonely
Can't control it - try as you might
May you find that love that won't leave you
May you find it by the end of the day
You won't be lost, hurt, tired and lonely
Something beautiful will come your way
You won't be lost, hurt, tired and lonely
Something beautiful will come your way
...::: Come undone :::...
R. Williams & B. Ottestad & A. Hamilton & D. Pierre
So unimpressed but so in awe
Such a saint but such a whore
So self aware so full of shit
So indecisive so adamant
I'm contemplating thinking about thinking
It's so frustrating just get another drink in
Watch me come undone
They're selling razor blades and mirrors in the street
Pray that when I'm coming down you'll be asleep
If I ever hurt you your revenge will be so sweet
Because I'm scum
And I'm your son
I come undone
I come undone
So rock and roll so corporate suit
So damn ugly, so damn cute
So well trained, so animal
So need your love, so fuck you all
I'm not scared of dying I just don't want to
If I stopped lying I'd just disappoint you
I come undone
They're selling razor blades and mirrors in the street
I pray that when I'm coming down you'll be asleep
If I ever hurt you your revenge will be so sweet
Because I'm scum
And I'm your son
I've come undone
So write another ballad
Mix it on a Wednesday
Sell it on a Thursday
Buy a yacht by Saturday
It's a love song
A love song
Do another interview
Sing a bunch of lies
Tell about celebrities that I despise
And sing love songs
We sing love songs
So sincere
So sincere
They're selling razor blades and mirrors in the street
Pray that when I'm coming down you'll be asleep
If I ever hurt you your revenge will be so sweet
Because I'm scum
I'm your son
I've come undone
I've come undone
I've come undone
I've come undone
I am scum
Love your son
I am scum
Love your son
You've gotta love my sad song, my love song
My sad song, my love song, my sad song, my love song
...::: Feel :::...
R.
Williams & G. Chambers
Come and hold my hand
I wanna contact the living
Not sure I understand
This role I've been given
I sit and talk to God
And he just laughs at my plans
My head speaks a language
I don't understand
I just want to feel real love
Feel the home that I live in
'Cause I got too much life
Running through my veins
Going to waste
I don't want to die
But I ain't keen on living either
Before I fall in love
I'm preparing to leave her
I scare myself to death
That's why I keep on running
Before I've arrived
I can see myself coming
I just want to feel real love
Feel the home that I live in
'Cause I got too much life
Running through my veins
Going to waste
And I need to feel real love
And a life ever after
I cannot give it up
I just want to feel real love
Feel the home that I live in
I got too much love
Running through my veins
To go to waste
I just wanna feel real love
In a life ever after
There's a hole in my soul
You can see it in my face
It's a real big place
Come and hold my hand
I want to contact the living
Not sure I understand
This role I've been given
Not sure I understand
Not sure I understand
Not sure I understand
Not sure I understand
...::: Mr. Bojangles
:::...
J. Jeff Walker
I knew a man Bojangles
And he'd dance for you
In worn out shoes
With silver hair a ragged shirt
And baggy pants
He would do the old soft shoe
He would jump so high
Jump so high
Then he lightly touch down
He told me of the time he worked with
Minstrel shows travelling
Throughout the south
He spoke with tears of fifteen years
How his dog and he
They would travel about
But his dog up and died
He up and died
And after twenty years he still grieved
He said I dance now
At every chance in the Honky Tonks
For my drinks and tips
But most the time I spend
Behind these country bars
You see on I drinks a bit
Then he shook his head
Oh lord when he shook his head
I could swear I heard someone say please
Mister Bojangles
Call him Mister Bojangles
Mister Bojangles come back and dance please
Come back and dance again Mr. Bojangles
...::: I will talk and Hollywood will listen :::...
R.
Williams & G. Chambers
I wouldn't be so alone
If they knew my name in every home
Kevin Spacey would call on the phone
But I'd be too busy
Come back to the old five and dime
Cameron Diaz give me a sign
I'd make you smile all the time
And your conversation would compliment mine
I will talk and Hollywood will listen
See them bow and my every word
Mr Spielberg look just what you're missing
Doesn't that seem a litte obsurd
Bow at my every word
Buy up the rights to my book
Live on a ranch from what the box office took
I'll go and visit the set
They'll call me their saviour
All other people will scorn the celebrity
Lives on the moon
But, I'll be back home in June
To promote the sequel
I will talk and Hollywood will listen
See them bow and my every word
Mr Spielberg look just what you're missing
Doesn't that seem a litte obsurd
Bow at my every word
...::: Somethin' stupid (met Nicole Kidman)
:::...
C. Parks
I know I stand in line
Until you think you have the time
To spend an evening with me
And if we go someplace to dance
I know that there's a chance
You won't be leaving with me
Then afterwards we drop into a quiet little place
And have a drink or two
And then I go and spoil it all
By saying something stupid
Like I love you
I can see it in your eyes
That you despise the same old lines
You heard the night before
And though it's just a line to you
For me it's true
And never seemed so right before
I practice every day to find some clever
lines to say
To make the meaning come through
But then I think I'll wait until the evening
gets late
And I'm alone with you
The time is right
Your perfume fills my head
The stars get red
And oh the night's so blue
And then I go and spoil it all
By saying something stupid
Like I love you
I love you...
...::: The road to Mandalay
:::...
R. Williams & G. Chambers
Save me from drowning in the sea
Beat me up on the beach
What a lovely holiday
There's nothing funny left to say
This sombre song would drain the sun
But it won't shine until it's sung
No water running in the stream
The saddest place we've ever been
Everything I touched was golden
Everything I loved got broken
On the road to Mandalay
Every mistake I've ever made
Has been rehashed and then replayed
As I got lost along the way
There's nothing left for you to give
The truth is all that you're left with
Twenty paces then at dawn
We will die and be reborn
I like to sleep beneath the trees
Have the universe at one with me
Look down the barrel of a gun
And feel the Moon replace the Sun
Everything we've ever stolen
Has been lost returned or broken
No more dragons left to slay
Every mistake I've ever made
Has been rehashed and then replayed
As I got lost along the way
Save me from drowning in the sea
Beat me up on the beach
What a lovely holiday
There's nothing funny left to say
...:::
Eternity :::...
R.
Williams & G. Chambers
Close your eyes so you don't feel
them
They don't need to see you cry
I can't promise I will heal you
But if you want to I will try
To sing this summer serenade
The past is done we've been betrayed It's true
Some might say the truth will out
But I believe without a doubt in you
You were there for summer dreaming
And you gave me what I need
And I hope you find your freedom
For eternity
For eternity
Yesterday when we were walking
You talked about your ma and dad
What they did that made you happy
What they did that made you sad
We sat and watched the sun go down
Then picked a star before we lost the moon
Youth is wasted on the young
Before you know it's come and gone too soon
You were there for summer dreaming
And you gave me what I need
And I hope you find your freedom
For eternity
For eternity
You were there for summer dreaming
And you are a friend indeed
And I hope you find your freedom
Eventually
You were there for summer dreaming
And you gave me what I need
And I know you'll find your freedom
Eventually
For eternity
...::: Let love be your energy :::...
R. Williams & G. Chambers
Out of a million seeds
Only the strongest one breathes
You made a miracle mother
I'll make a man out of me
Daddy where's the sun gone from the sky?
What did we do wrong, why did it die?
And all the grown ups say 'sorry kids we got no reply'
If you're willing to change the world
Let love be your energy
I've got more than I need
When your love shines down on me
Every tear that you cry
Will be replaced when you die
Why don't you love your brother?
Are you out of your mind?
Daddy where's the sun gone from the sky
What did we do wrong, why did it die
And if you've got no love for me then I'll say goodbye
If you're willing to change the world
Let love be your energy
I've got more than I need
When your love shines down on me
If you're willing to change the world
Let love be your energy
I can't contain how I feel
When your love shines down on me
Well if you want it come and make a stance
So when it's in your hands
People show me love
Well if you want it come and make a stance
So when it's in your hands
People show me love
If you're willing to change the world
Let love be your energy
I got more than I need
When your love shines down on me
If you're willing to change the world
Let love be your energy
I can't contain how I feel
When your love shines down on me
...::: Supreme :::...
R. Williams & G. Chambers & F. Perren & D. Fekaris
Oh it seemed forever stopped today
All the lonely hearts in London
Caught a plane and flew away
And all the best women are married
All the handsome men are gay
You feel deprived
Yeah are you questioning your size?
Is there a tumour in your humour,
Are there bags under your eyes?
Do you leave dents where you sit,
Are you getting on a bit?
Will you survive
You must survive
When there's no love in town
This new century keeps bringing you down
All the places you have been
Trying to find a love supreme
A love supreme
Oh what are you really looking for?
Another partner in your life to
abuse and to adore?
Is it lovey dovey stuff,
Do you need a bit of rough?
Get on your knees
Yeah turn down the love songs that you hear
'Cause you can't avoid the sentiment
That echoes in your ear
Saying love will stop the pain
Saying love will kill the fear
Do you believe
You must believe
When there's no love in town
This new century keeps bringing you down
All the places you have been
Trying to find a love supreme
A love supreme
I spy with my little eye
Something beginning with (ah)
Got my back up
And now she's screaming
So I've got to turn the track up
Sit back and watch the royalties stack up
I know this girl she likes to switch teams
And I'm a fiend but I'm living for a love supreme
When there's no love in town
This new century keeps bringing you down
All the places you have been
Trying to find a love supreme
A love supreme
Come and live a love supreme
Don't let it get you down
Everybody lives for love
Repeat...

Take a ride on my twelve cylinder symphony
But if you got other plans

Single-handedly raising the economy
Ain't no chance of the record company dropping me

I've been looking for serial monogamy
Not some bird that looks like Billy Connolly
But for now I'm down for ornithology
Grab your binoculars, come follow me

Can I kick it (yes you can)

But you're making me feel so nice
When's it gonna stop, DJ

Music for your masses
Give no head
No backstage passes
Have a proper giggle
I'll be quite polite
But when I rock the mike
I rock the mike (right)
You got no love then you're with the wrong man
It's time to move your body
If you can't get a girl but your best friend can
It's time to move your body
I don't wanna be sleazy
Baby just tease me
Got no family planned
Houston do you hear me

R.
Williams & G. Chambers
My breath smells of a thousand fags
And when I'm drunk I dance like me Dad
I've started to dress a bit like him
Early morning when I wake up
I look like Kiss but without the make-up
And that's a good line to take it to
The bridge
Chorus
And you know and you know
'Cos my life's a mess
And I'm trying to grow so before
I'm old I'll confess
You think that I'm strong, you're wrong
You're wrong
I'll sing my song, my song, my song
My bed's full of takeaways and fantasies
Of easy lays
The pause button's broke on my video
And is this real 'cos I feel fake
Oprah Winfrey, Rikki Lake
Teach me things I don't need to know
Chorus
And you know and you know
'Cos my life's a mess
And it's starting to show so before
I'm old I'll confess
You think that I'm strong, you're wrong
You're wrong
I'll sing my song my song my song
If I did it all again I'd be a nun
The rain was never cold when I was young
I'm still young, we're still young
Life's too short to be afraid
Step inside the sun
Chorus
And you know and you know
'Cos my life's a mess
And I'm trying to grow
You think that I'm strong, you're wrong
You're wrong
I'll sing my song, my song, my song
You think that I'm strong, you're wrong
You're wrong
I'll sing my song, my song, my song
You think that I'm strong, you're wrong
You're wrong
I'll sing my song, my song, my song
Life's too short to be afraid
So take a pill to numb the pain
You don't have to take the blame

You don't have to take the blame
Life's too short to be afraid

You don't have to take the blame
...::: No regrets :::...
R.
Williams & G. Chambers
Tell me a story
Where we all change
And we'd live our lives together
And not estranged
I didn't lose my mind it was
Mine to give away
Couldn't stay to watch me cry
You didn't have the time
So I softly slip away...
Chorus
No regrets / they don't work
No regrets now / they only hurt
Sing me a love song
Drop me a line
Suppose it's just a point of view
But they tell me I'm doing fine
I know from the outside
We looked good for each other
Felt things were going wrong
When you didn't like my mother
I don't want to hate but that's
All you've left me with
A bitter aftertaste and a fantasy of
How we all could live
Chorus
No regrets / they don't work
No regrets now / they only hurt
[We've been told you stay up late]
I know they're still talking
[You're far too short to carry weight]
The demons in your head
[Return the videos they're late]
If I could just stop hating you
[Goodbye]
I'd feel sorry for us instead
Remember the photographs (insane)
The ones where we all laugh (so lame)
We were having the time of our lives
Well thank you it was a real blast
Chorus
No regrets / they don't work
No regrets now / they only hurt
Write me a love song
Drop me a line
Suppose it's just a point of view
But they tell me I'm doing fine
Everything I wanted to be every
Time I walked away
Every time I wanted to be every
Time I walked away
Every time you told me to leave
I just wanted to stay
Every time you looked at me and
Every time you smiled
I felt so vacant you treat me like a child
I loved the way we used to laugh
I loved the way we used to smile
Often I sit down and think of you
For a while
Then it passes me by and I think of
Someone else instead
I guess the love we once had is
Officially dead

And we're praying it's not too late

Some say that we are players
Some say that we are pawns
But we've been making money
Since they day that we were born
Got to slow down 'cos we're low down
Run around in circles
Live a life of solitude
Till we find ourselves a partner someone to
Relate to
Then we'll slow down
Before we fall down
Chorus
We've got stars directing our fate
And we're praying it's not too late
'Cos we know we're falling from grace

Live for liposuction
And detox for your rent
Overdose at Christmas
And give it up for lent
My friends are all so cynical
They refuse to keep the faith
We all enjoy the madness
'Cos we know we're going to fade away
Repeat Chorus
Come and have a go if you think you are hard enough
Come and have a go if you think you are hard enough
Millennium
Repeat Chorus
And when we come we always come too late
I often think that we were born to hate
Get up and see the sarcasm in my eyes
And when we come we always come too late

You're my rock of empathy, my dear
So come on let me entertain you

The dew is wet but the grass is sweet my dear
Your mind gets burned
With the habits you've learned
But we're the generation that's got to be heard
You're tired of your teachers and your school's a drag
You're not going to end up like your mum and dad
So come on let me entertain you

R. Williams & G. Chambers
I sit and wait
Does an angel contemplate my fate
And do they know
The places where we go
When we're grey and old
'cos I've been told
That salvation lets their wings unfold
So when I'm lying in my bed
Thoughts running through my head
And I feel that love is dead
I'm loving angels instead
Chorus
And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call she won't forsake me
I'm loving angels instead
When I'm feeling weak
And my pain walks down a one way street
I look above
And I know I'll always be blessed with love
And as the feeling grows
She breathes flesh to my bones
And when love is dead
I'm loving angels instead
Chorus
And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call she won't forsake me
I'm loving angels instead
Repeat Chorus
...::: South of the border :::...
R. Williams & G. Chambers
I know a freaky young lady
Name of Cocaine Katie
She makes my temperature freeze
She's got a blood red powder
When she gives a shout
She'll bring you to your knees
Well we were being clever playing God
Games forever
She said she only meant to please
But I'm someone's brother, got a father
And a mother
You know I'm going to have to leave
South of the Border
I think you oughta
South of the Border
I think you oughta
Chorus
'cos you know you're gonna have to leave
To a place where you can breathe
And you know there's no reprieve
They'll be tears on leaving
But there won't be no grieving
'cos a city soon forgets
To me it's magic
To the landlord it's tragic
He's got another room to let
There'll be the same old faces in the same
old places
Where my youth was well misspent
But I tow the line and move the time
To a town called "No Regrets"
South of the Border
I think you oughta
South of the Border
I think you oughta
Chorus
'cos you know you're gonna have to leave
To a place where you can breathe
And you know there's no reprieve
Repeat chorus

R.
Williams & G. Chambers
Lazy days calling to you
Come out to play
The future flies with you
Now you can be sure love is the cure
What we're searching for
Is to have a jolly good time
Crazy days but you'll get me through
And here I'll stay holdin' on to you
Now you can be sure
Our thoughts unpure
Will unlock the door
And we will have a jolly good time
It can happen in any season
We don't need any reason
To sit around and wait
The world can change in a second so
I find the sunshine beckons me
To open up the gate
And dream and dream
Lazy days don't let them get you down
Wear your smile
I don't want to see you frown
Don't let them get you down
It can happen in any season
We don't need any reason
To sit around and wait
The world can change in a second so
I find the sunshine beckons me
To open up the gate
And dream and dream
Then we will have - a jolly good time
...::: Old before I die :::...
R. Williams & E. Bazillian & D. Child
She's taking me places
I should never have been
She's showin' me faces
I should never have seen
Well these are strange days
We're livin' in today
C'est la vie I say
I hope I'm old
Before I die
I hope I live to relive
The days gone by
I hope I'm old before I die
But tonight I'm gonna
Live for today
So come along for the ride
I hope I'm old
Before I die
She's not feeling stable
She's unable to breathe
Her heart's beating faster
So I'll ask her to leave
These are strange days
We're livin' in today
Am I straight or gay
I hope I'm old
Before I die
I hope I live to see the day
The Pope gets high
I hope I'm old before I die
Well tonight I'm gonna
Live for today
So come along for the ride
I hope I'm old
Before I die
Well these are strange days
We're living in today
C'est la vie I say, I say, I say
I hope I'm old
Before I die
I hope I live to relive
The days gone by
I hope I'm old before I die
But tonight I'm gonna
Live for today
So come along for the ride
I hope I'm old
Before I die
I hope I'm old before
Old before I die
Old before
Old before I die
Old before I die

Freedom :::...
G. Michael
I won't let you down
I will not give you up
Gotta have some faith in the sound
It's the one good thing that I've got
I won't let you down
So please don't give me up
Because I would really, really love to stick around
Heaven knows I was just a young boy
Didn't know what I wanted to be
I was every little hungry schoolgirl's pride and joy
And I guess it was enough for me
To win the race?
A prettier face!
Brand new clothes and a big fat place
On your rock and roll TV
But today the way I play the game is not the same (no way)
Think I'm gonna get me some happy
I think there's something you should know
I think it's time I told you so
There's something deep inside of me
There's someone else I've got to be
Take back your picture in a frame
Take back your singing in the rain
I just hope you understand
Sometimes the clothes do not make the man
All we have to do now
Is take these lies and make them true somehow
All we have to see
Is that I don't belong to you
And you don't belong to me
Freedom
You've gotta give for what you take
Freedom
You've gotta give for what you take
Heaven knows we sure had some fun boy
What a kick just a buddy and me
We had every big shot good-time band on the run boy
We were living in a fantasy
We won the race
Got out of the place I went back home got a brand new face
For the boys on MTV
But today the way I play the game has got to change (oh yeah)
Now I'm gonna get myself happy
I think there's something you should know
I think it's time I stopped the show
There's something deep inside of me
There's someone I forgot to be
Take back your picture in a frame
Don't think that I'll be back again
I just hope you understand
Sometimes the clothes do not make the man
All we have to do now
Is take these lies and make them true somehow
All we have to see
Is that I don't belong to you
And you don't belong to me
Freedom
You've gotta give for what you take
Freedom
You've gotta give for what you take
Well it looks like the road to heaven
But it feels like the road to hell
When I knew which side my bread was buttered
I took the knife as well
Posing for another picture
Everybody's got to sell
But when you shake your ass
They notice fast
And some mistakes were built to last
That's what you get
I say that's what you get
That's what you get for changing your mind
And after all this time
I just hope you understand
Sometimes the clothes
Do not make the man
I'll hold on to my freedom
May not be what you want from me
Just the way it's got to be
Lose the face now I've got to live
(got to live, got to live)

G. Barlow & M. Ward & E. Kennedy & C. Baylis
Girl, come on over here, Let me
hold you for a little while
And remember I'll always love you forever more , Everything changes but you
We've said goodbye, the taxi cab is waiting
Now don't you cry, just one more kiss before I have to go
Hey girl I know the situation changed
And so much is new but
Something in my life remains the same 'cos
CHORUS
Everything changes but you
We're a thousand miles apart but you know I love you
Everything changes but you
You know that everything single day I'll be thinking about you
The rumour's true, you know that there've been others
What can I do, I tell you baby they don't mean a thing
Now girl don't go and throw our love away
I'll be home soon
Back in your arms to hear you say that
REPEAT CHORUS
Though everything changes around us (baby don't you cry)
We will be the same as before forever more
REPEAT CHORUS

G. Nuttall
Often I don't see it when I've
been wrong
And boy have I been wrong
Often I don't need it till it's gone
But by then it's gone
Often I make the worst decisions
Say that it's great and I know it isn't so
It's happening so
Often
Often I won't wake up from a dream
You know I love to dream
Often I don't stand up for what I believe
There's nothing left to believe
So often I make the worst decisions
Say that it's great and I know it isn't so
it's happening so
I often wish that you were here
I could moan and bend your ears
Do do do do do do do do do do
Yeah yeah
Often I don't see it when I've been wrong
And boy have I been wrong
Often I won't need it till it's gone
And by then it's gone
Often, I make the worst decisions
Say that it's great and I know it isn't so
It's happening so
It's happening so

That was in that soap

Will you save the whale

Look how I'm dancing love
Justify what you get paid

Doctors save lives and you get laid

Apologise for the job that you do
It would be nice if you were talented too
I think you better lock up your daughter
Come sing a song with me

I'll be a karaoke star
Lush strings and timpani
Have got it in for me
Look how I'm dancing love

R. Williams & G. Chambers
Sticks and stones may break my
bones
But words can burn a happy home
It's true I've got words for you
The past is done it's gone forever
Don't tell me my pain is pleasure
You you haven't got a clue
Oh I wanna cry but I don't make a sound
I'm your child and your child is feeling down
Everybody's toxic in this town
All God's children fade and die
In the name of lets get high
And then, we do it again
I pray the lord my soul to keep
That when you coming down I'll be asleep
I can't pretend it's killing me again
Oh I wanna cry but I don't make a sound
I am your child and your child is feeling down
Everybody's toxic in this town
Call me in my Lord I'm coming down
(Coming down)
Call me in my Lord I'm coming down
Oh I wanna cry but I don't make a sound
I am your child and your child is feeling down
Everybody's toxic in this town
Oh I wanna cry but I don't make a sound
I am your child and your child is feeling down
Everybody's toxic in this town
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But names can burn a happy home
It's true

...::: My culture
:::...
D. Bridgeman & J. Catto & M. Jazz & R. Williams & N. Butler
When I look back over the years at
the
Things that bring tears to my eyes
Poppa said we had to be wise to live long lives
Now I recognise what my father said before he died
Vocalised things I left unsaid
Left my spirit unfed for too long
I'm coming home to my family where I can be strong
For you I plan to be
Within me, my ancestry, giving me continuity
This is what my daddy told me
I wish he would hold me a little more than he did
But he taught me my culture
And how to live positive
I never wanna shame the blood in my veins
And bring pain to my sweet grandfather's face
In his resting place
I'll make haste to learn and not waste
Everything my forefathers earned in tears
For my culture
Fall back again
Crawl from the warm waters
Water to air
You're on your feet again
Your feet again
Hello Dad remember me
I'm the man you'd thought I'd never be
I'm the boy who you reduced to tears
Dad I've been lonely for 27 years
Yeah that's right my name's Rob
I'm the one who landed the popstar's job
I'm the one who you told look don't touch
I'm the kid who wouldn't amount to much
I believe in the senses sight and sound
I have always been too loud
Won't you help me drown it out
I'm what I feel, what I'm feeling is surreal
I'm a mass of spinning wheels
Always digging in my heels
Now I've got the faith to
Fall back again
Crawl from the warm waters
Water to air
You're on your feet again
Your feet again
This is what my daddy told me
I wish he would hold me a little more than he did
But he taught me my culture
And how to live positive
I never wanna shame the blood in my veins
And bring pain to my sweet grandfather's face
In his resting place
I'll make haste to learn and not waste
Everything my forefathers earned in tears
For my culture
Fall back again
Crawl from the warm waters
Water to air
You're on your feet again
Your feet again
(For my culture)
Fall back again
Crawl from the warm waters
Water to air
You're on your feet again
Your feet again
(For my culture)
...::: Nobody someday
:::...
R. Williams & G. Chambers
I’m a gigolo, I’m Joseph
I’m a satellite of song
And everybody that I know
Are being known for being wrong
If I’m not mistaken
This is my heart breakin'
I’m the man who threw it all away
Destiny is callin'
Tellin' me to be boring
And I don’t care anyway
Gonna be nobody someday
Gonna be nobody someday
I’m a demon that you fear
I’m the joker I’m the thief
I’m the lonesome cowboy riding
I’m the Indian chief
Gotta watch my figure
Boy, if I get much bigger
They’ll stick a pin in me
And I’ll blow away
But I get richer
But they take my picture
Takin' my soul away
Gonna be somebody someday
Gonna be nobody someday
I’m a moonlight serenade
I’m your bed when you are cold
I’m the captain of Titanic
I’m the passenger in the hole
From the way I’m thinking
We’ll both be sinkin'
I knew before we sailed away
At the tip of my ego
It’s all you saw anyway
Gonna be nobody someday
Gonna be somebody, la la
La la
...::: Get a little high :::...
R. Williams & B. Ottestad
You wake up in the middle of
The thunder of a scream
And you realise that it was yours
You don't know what to tell them
'Cause you don't know where you've been
And you've been late so many times before
It's only natural to feel like you're sinking
It's only human to be so unprepared
Don't worry baby
If you get a little high
It's just a phase to get you through
Getting by
So you get a little restless
And you get a little wasted
It's just a little light entertainment
Embrace it
It might just save your life
You always say you're sorry
But you never know what for
And it's been happening more and more
Act your age and not your shoe size
And blah blah blah blah blah
That's your role model
Slammin’ the door
So it's only natural to feel
The guilt of a nation
It's only human when your young
You're gonna cry
Don't worry baby
If you get a little high
It's just a phase to get you through
Getting by
So you get a little restless
And you get a little wasted
It's just a little light entertainment
Embrace it
It might just save your life
So where else can you go to
Cause no one's given you the book
About what to say and how to feel
And what you should and shouldn't have took
It’s feelings that your fearing
That’s why you step outside your mind
Don't look back
Cause if you don't crack
You get to sing this lullaby
You get to sing this lullaby
Don't worry baby
If you get a little high
It's just a phase to get you through
Getting by
So get a little restless
And you get a little wasted
It's just a little light entertainment
Embrace it
Don't worry baby
If you get a little high
It's just a phase to get you through
Getting by
You do lot's of complaining
And do nothing to change it
But that's a little light entertainment
Embrace it
It might just save your life
It might just change your life
...::: One fine day
:::...
R. Williams
I like to reminisce about a time
I’ve never had
A book that no one read
A film that never made me sad
And you remind of a place I’ve never been
And something no one said
When I was seventeen
One fine day
In the middle of the night
You’ll wake up in it
One fine day
In the middle of the night
But you probably won’t admit it
Remember when we never struggled through
A bad time we never had
A love we never fell into
Please don’t remind me to forget
Cause forgiveness is a place
I ain’t got used to yet
One fine day
In the middle of the night
You’ll wake up in it
One fine day
In the middle of the night
But you probably won’t admit it
All I ever wanted
Was to radiate your home
But I guess it doesn’t matter
So come reminisce about a time we didn’t have
I hear there’s a sequel to that film that never made you sad
Don’t rewrite my history
Cause you’ll never really know
How much you didn’t mean to me
One fine day
In the middle of the night
You’ll wake up in it
One fine day
In the middle of the night
But you probably won’t admit it
...::: Coffee, tea and sympathy
:::...
R. Williams & B. Morrison & G. Ballard
With all the will in the world
I’m still powerless
I found myself breaking the girl
The king is half undressed
She’s not my saviour
(I don’t want your love)
Don’t take my seed
(It’s not your love that I need)
You’re in no danger caressing me
But you’re talking to a man I’m not supposed to be
And the clothes remain the same
I fear to face the walk of shame
Been nice to know you
I’m soaking in the morning rain
Find my car forgot your name
Been nice to hold you
Don’t feel small
When I don’t call
If I could talk I’d tell you
If I ever did don’t answer kid
I’ve only lies to sell you
I’ll be your stranger
(I don’t want your love)
If you’re in need
(It’s not your love that I need)
It’s odd behaviour seducing me
I’m a million miles away and she’s too blind to see
And the clothes remain the same
I fear to face the walk of shame
Been nice to know you
I’m soaking in the morning rain
Find my car forgot your name
Been nice to hold you
Step on board the gravy train
Same old faces different names
You bet your life I will complain
Cause I’m a sensitive boy
The real McCoy
Don’t wanna stick me on your bedpost
And I never really will forget you
I’m sorry dear have I met you
All that you take from me is coffee and tea and sympathy
And the clothes remain the same
I fear to face the walk of shame
Been nice to know you
I’m soaking in the morning rain
Find my car forgot your name
Been nice to hold you
I have my needs
I hope she leaves
(All that you take from me is coffee and tea and sympathy)
I have my needs
I hope she leaves
(All that you take from me is coffee and tea and sympathy)
And the clothes remain the same
I fear to face the walk of shame
Been nice to know you
I’m soaking in the morning rain
Find my car forgot your name
Been nice to hold you

Liberate a whale
Liberate Wales
Liberate abortion

I don’t mind
Ban the bomb
Bang a gong
Ban fake fur
Put a real one on
I don’t mind
Oh my head
I’m moving to the Med
Those cats know how to boogie
This E’s done nothing to me
Her retort was just a passing thought
Put the munchies down now Scooby
I’m leaving in an hour
You better do me now
Prosecute Ghandi
Persecute God
Elevate Bono
Eliminate Rod
I don’t care
World War Four
The Beatles touring
Chernobyl fallout
Global warming
I don’t care
Oh my head
I’m moving to the Med
Those cats know how to boogie
This pill’s done nothing to me
Her retort was just a passing thought
Put the munchies down now Scooby
I gotta catch a plane
You’d better do me now
In for me, in for me
You’ve all got it in for me
In for me, in for me
Don’t tell me a story kid
You fucking bore me
Oh my head
I’m moving to the Med
Those cats know how to boogie
This E’s done nothing to me
Her retort was just a fleeting thought
Put the munchies down now Scooby
Going in a car
You better do me
Oh my head
I’m gonna stay in bed
This cat don’t wanna boogie
The pill's just pass right through me
Her retort was just a fleeting thought
Put the Scooby snacks down, Dooby
I’m getting on a plane
You better do me now, now
...::: The postcard
:::...
S. Duffy
I don´t remember receiving your
postcard
I never got much post so it shouldn´t have been too hard
You were on holiday with your school in some French town
And while you were away I took Debbie to The Crown
I feel as though all the past is closing in on me
I found a photograph of me and Kimberley
I found your postcard and I put it on the wall
I found your picture you know tears were bound to fall
I didn´t write your songs when we were going out
So why should I start now you are not about
I feel as though all the past in closing in on me
I found a photograph of me and Kimberley
We hardly used to even drink We didn´t smoke
We´d walk home from the pub 'cause we were always broke
So when your mother called and said that you were dead
I thought she´s talking of another Kim instead
I feel as though the past is closing in on me
I found a photograph Of me and Kimberley
She said it seemed You accidentally overdosed
It was so long since I talked to her and once we were so close
And I am left with all these things I didn´t say
And a picture of you in my arms the day you went away
I feel as though all the past is closing in on me
I found a photograph of me and Kimberley
I feel as though all the past is closing in on me
I found a photograph of me and Kimberley

R. Williams & S. Duffy
A year before I thought of leaving
I can't remember what I did
Us in bed made n' veil basement
When you left
Western winter
I hear clatter
Morning dawning
Nothing matters
When we took a cab
Back where cabs had somewhere to go
And we meet the stars
When the stars were people you want to know
We were new to fame
I'm so glad you came
Some of us fell by the wayside
Others had it and threw it away
Some caried on pretending
You think they're still have it, today
The once admired
Oh so tired
Loose it on
In the night time
And we took a cab
Back when cabs had somewhere to go
And we'd meet the stars
When the stars were people you'd want to know
We were new to fame
I'm so glad I came
And we took a cab
Back when cabs had somewhere to go
And we'd meet the stars
When the stars were people you'd like to know
We were new to fame
I'm so glad I came
...::: Don’t stop talking :::...
R. Williams & S. Duffy
Don’t, don’t stop talking
‘Cause when you start again
It won’t make sense
Don’t, don’t stop breathing
You’ve got to carry on
Despite the evidence
‘Cause we
We’ll fall in love
Because we need
To fall in love
I am here
Dumb enough to care too much
And young enough to believe in love
Where are you
Overdose on liberty
I was never meant to be that free
But I believe
That you and I
Must go out tonight
Don’t, don’t stop walking
‘Cause when you start again
Nothing starts again
And don’t, don’t stop singing
When you start a song
Sing it 'till the end
‘Cause we will fall in love
Because we need
To fall in love
I am here
Dumb enough to care too much
And young enough to believe in love
Where, where are you
Overdose on liberty
We were never meant to be that free
So I believe
That you and I
Must go out tonight
As sure as men created God
We were meant to be in love
I’m sure if God created us
He’d realise
That we are right
We must go out tonight
I am here
Dumb enough to care too much
And young enough to believe in love
Where are you
Overdose on liberty
We were never meant to be that free
So I believe
That you and I
Must go out tonight
Ooh oh
We must go out tonight
Yeah yeah
We must go out tonight
Ooh oh
We must go out tonight
I’m right
We must go out tonight
...::: Don’t say no

R. Williams & S. Duffy
When we were only seventeen
And thrown into society
That was the end of you and me
From what we could have been
And if we didn't keep in touch
I guess we didn't care that much
We never understood that stuff
But now I need you
I never meant to let you down
But letting you down was easy
Didn't it break your heart
Maybe I'm just too needy
Do any of you still need me
In your lives in your heart
Don't say yes
Just to please me
If you're still you and you want
Don't say no
We fought together
Laughed together
Said things that we hoped were clever
The thought of missing you forever
Makes me want to cry
And now that you've grown up to be
A sentimental memory
Are you still you 'cos I'm still me
At least I hope so
A life beginning somewhere else
It was our time to die
Didn't it break your heart
Maybe I'm just too needy
Do any of you still need me
In your life, in your heart
Don't say yes
Just to please me
If you're still you and you want
Don't say no
So what do you know
Where do you go
Has it been fun
Oh ded you survive being buried alive
Like I did
Didn't it break your heart
Maybe I'm just too needy
Do any of you still need me
In your life, in your heart
Don't say yes
Just to please me
If you're still you and you want
Don't say no

R. Williams & D. Spencer & K. Andrews
The sun is shining
So why am I feeling the cold
Not surprising
Something has fallen from the fold
Lonestar rising
God only knows where I'll go
Oh what timing
And how blue is the tone
Seems like I was always drunk
I lost myself in someones song
And when all is said and done
I only wanna feel the sun
Every others
Passed to remind of the time
All the lovers
Living in limbo divine
Every reason
Has every reason to go
All the seasons
Melt into one like the snow
Seems like I was always drunk
I lost myself in someones song
And when all is said and done
I only wanna feel the sun
No sensation
Not even tears rolling down
Conversation
Echoes like ghosts on the town
Lonestar rising
God only knows where I'll go
Oh what timing
And how blue is the tone
Seems like I was always drunk
I lost myself in someones song
And when all is said and done
I only wanna feel the sun

The Kinks
I met her in a club down in old soho
Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like cherry-cola
[lp version:
Coca-cola]
C-o-l-a cola
She walked up to me and she asked me to dance
I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said lola
L-o-l-a lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola
Well Im not the worlds most physical guy
But when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine
Oh my lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola
Well Im not dumb but I cant understand
Why she walked like a woman and talked like a man
Oh my lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola
Well we drank champagne and danced all night
Under electric candlelight
She picked me up and sat me on her knee
And said dear boy wont you come home with me
Well Im not the worlds most passionate guy
But when I looked in her eyes well I almost fell for my lola
Lo-lo-lo-lo lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola
Lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola
I pushed her away
I walked to the door
I fell to the floor
I got down on my knees
Then I looked at her and she at me
Well thats the way that I want it to stay
And I always want it to be that way for my lola
Lo-lo-lo-lo lola
Girls will be boys and boys will be girls
Its a mixed up muddled up shook up world except for lola
Lo-lo-lo-lo lola
Well I left home just a week before
And Id never ever kissed a woman before
But lola smiled and took me by the hand
And said dear boy Im gonna make you a man
Well Im not the worlds most masculine man
But I know what I am and Im glad Im a man
And so is lola
Lo-lo-lo-lo lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola
Lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola

I got this in my system
Takin' over
My imagination
Getting wider
This elastication
Automatic
No self-preservation
Pull me into shape
My testimony never fails
Like a metronome,on the nail
First thing in the morning
Late at night
Stretch me to the maximum
'Till I feel alright
Want you to
Push stronger
I need your elastic for tension
Wait longer
I need to release your potential
I want you to
I want you to
I want you to
Since you put your hand then
In the pocket
I've been rubberbandin'
I can't stop it
Stretch it to the distance
Don't you get it?
Makin' no resistance
Please don't let me go
My testimony never fails
Like a metronome on the nail
First thing in the morning
Late at night
Stretch me to the maximum
'Till I feel alright
Want you to
Push stronger
I need your elastic for tension
Wait longer
I need to release your potential
I want you to
I want you to
I want you to
It's your intervention
So demanding
Feel my surface tension
I'm expanding
Step into the same shape
Where I started
For your fascination
Elasticate my soul
My testimony never fails
Like a metronome on the nail
First thing in the morning
To late at night
Stretch me to the maximum
'Till I feel alright
Want you to
Push stronger
I need your elastic for tension
Wait longer
I need to release your potential
Push stronger
I need your elastic for tension
Wait longer
I need to release your potential
I want you to
I want you to
I want you to

Baby
You can pack away the moon
And pour away the ocean
You can take apart the sun
And run from everyone
You can blow out all the stars
But I know the day will come
When love unchains your soul
And you'll take the long walk home
Hello Baby
Haven't seen you for a while
There's a shadow on your face
A lie in your smile
You sent the world away
Everything's just fine
But there's a cry for help
Behind your eyes
Baby
You can pack away the moon
And pour away the ocean
You can take apart the sun
And run from everyone
You can blow out all the stars
But I know the day will come
When love unchains your soul
And you'll take the long walk home
Another 5 a.m.
The cancer crawls
And you're pressed against
Unvisible wall
And all the bottles are dry
And the cd's stuck
And keep hearing Johnny sing
All you need is love
Baby
You can pack away the moon
And pour away the ocean
You can take apart the sun
And run from everyone
You can blow out all the stars
But I know the day will come
When love unchains your soul
And you'll take the long walk home
And you can sleep the longest night
I believe you'll wake in time
To open the window wide
And breathe the brilliant light
Ooohhhhh oooohhh
Baby
You can pack away the moon
And pour away the ocean
You can take apart the sun
And run from everyone
You can blow out all the stars
But I know the day will come
When love unchains your soul
And you'll take the long walk home
Baby
You can light the fires of hell
And wrestles with the angels
You can pull down heaven's blue
And tear yourself in two
Before we blow each candles out
Reach into the dark
There'll be a hand to hold
And we'll take the long walk home
Baby gonna walk so slow
Through the clear white snow
I won't let your soul be broken
Baby gonna walk so slow
Through the clear white snow
I wanna let your soul be broken

This day and next, we’ll forget that we’re animals
Any wonder we’re all so alone
Mama I feel so ashamed,
We’re just chemical?
I didn’t make it, but the bed is my home
And someone told me
The dog said to the bird
Do you sing the same song everyday of your life?
But she don’t say a word
She just swings on her thing
And she sings
The writing is there on the wall is eligible
The wrong answer etch on my brain
Venus and mars are now further apart
Than they’ve ever been
We better face it; we’re just not the same
And I remember
The dog said to the bird
Do you sing the same song everyday of your life?
But she don’t say a word
She just swings on her thing
And she sings
Oh what a shame all the trouble we went though,
For second place
Now they’re selling space on the moon
Speaking in tongues we don’t know what’s been said
Till the morning comes
You better worry, there’s a storm coming soon
Still recalling
The dog said to the bird
Do you sing the same song everyday of your life?
But she don’t say a word
She just swings on her thing
And she sings
The dog said to the bird
Do you sing the same song everyday of your life?
But she don’t say a word
She just swings on her thing
And she sings

Baby when you coming down
I can get to slum around you
If I got my talking?toping right
Maybe I’ll be someone who’ll do
When I met you should have told me
You were somebody else
But you didn’t make a sound
If you look so good
Why don’t you sleep with yourself?
And entertain yourself
Don’t like, don’t like
Sunlight, sunlight sunlight
Too bright, too bright
Not nice,
But I like how you taking it in
If they could come for me right now
I won’t go
And if there’s such a chance
They come for you
Then I’ll know
I’ll get you
Nothing super serious
Or sweet mysteries you
I could over analysis
Everything that you do
Would you know it was love
If we made it
Or a Fantasy is mine
All the cemeteries there for the taking
Maybe I can move aside
Don’t like, don’t like
Sunlight, sunlight sunlight
Too bright, too bright
Not nice,
But I like how you taking it in
And If they could come for me right now
I won’t go
And if there’s such a chance
They come for you
Then I’ll know
Don’t like, don’t like
Sunlight, sunlight sunlight
Too bright, too bright
Not nice,
But I like now you taking it in
Don’t like, don’t like
Sunlight, sunlight sunlight
Too bright, too bright
Not nice,
But I like how you taking it in
And if they could come for me right now
I won’t go
And if there’s such a chance
They come for you
Then I’ll know
And if they could come for me right now
I won’t go
And if there’s such a chance
They come for you
Then I’ll know
I’ll get you
