Long Hot Summer
I play out my role why I've even been out walking
They tell me that it helps but I know when I'm beaten
All those lonely films and all those lonely parties
But now the feeling is off-screen and the tears for real not acted, anymore
I'm all mixed up inside I want to run but I can't hide
And however much we try we can't escape the truth and the fact is
Don't matter what I do it don't matter what I do
Don't matter what I do because I end up hurting you
One more covered sigh and one more glance you know means goodbye
Can't you see that's why we're dashing ourselves against the rocks of a lifetime
I'm all mixed up inside I want to run but I can't hide
And however much we try we can't escape the truth and the fact is
Don't matter what I do it don't matter what I do
Don't matter what I do because I end up hurting you
In my mind different voices call what once was pleasure now's pain for us all
In my heart only shadows fall I once stood proud now I feel so small
I don't know whether to laugh or cry the long hot summer just passed me by
I'm all mixed up inside I want to run but I can't hide
And however much we try we can't escape the truth and the fact is
Don't matter what I do it don't matter what I do
Don't matter what I do because I end up hurting you
Speak Like A Child
Your hair hangs in golden steps you're a bonafide in every respect
You are walking through streets that mean nothing to you
You believe you're above it and I don't really blame you
Maybe that's why you speak like a child;
The things you're saying like I'm so free and so wild
And I believe it when you look in my eyes;
You offer me a life, and never lies
Least only the kind to make me smile
Your clothes are clean and your mind is productive
It shops in store where only the best buy
You're cool and hard, and if I sound like a lecher
It's probably true, but at least there's no lecture
I really like it when you speak like a child
The crazy sayings like I'm so free and so wild
You have to make a bargain with me now
A promise that you won't change somehow no way, now how
Spent all day thinking about you
Spent all night coming to terms with it
Time and conditions are built to tame
Nothing lasts with age, so people say
But I will always try to feel the same
I really like it when you speak like a child
I really like it when you speak like a child
The way you hate the homely rank and the file
The way you're so proud to be so free and so wild
My Ever Changing Moods
Daylight turns to moonlight - and I'm at my best
Praising the way it all works - gazing upon the rest
The cool before the warm the calm after the storm
I wish to stay forever - letting this be my food
But I'm caught up in a whirlwind and my ever changing moods
Bitter turns to sugar - some call a passive tune
But the day things turn sweet - for me won't be too soon
The hush before the silence the winds after the blast
I wish we'd move together - this time the bosses sued
But we're caught up in the wilderness and an ever changing mood
Teardrops turn to children - who've never had the time
To commit the sins they pay for through - another's evil mind
The love after the hate the love we leave too late
I wish we'd wake up one day - an' everyone feel moved
But we're caught up in the dailies and an ever changing mood
Evil turns to statues and masses form a line
But I know which way I'd run to if the choice was mine
The past is knowledge the present our mistake
And the future we always leave too late
I wish we'd come to our senses and see there is no truth
In those who promote the confusion for this ever changing mood
You're The Best Thing
I could be discontent and chase the rainbow's end
I might win much more but lose all that is mine I could be a lot but I know I'm not
I'm content just with the riches that you bring
I might shoot to win and commit the sin of wanting more than I've already got
I could runaway but I'd rather stay in the warmth of your smile
Lighting up my day the one that makes me say
Because you're the best thing that ever happened to me or my world
You're the best thing that ever happened - so don't go away
I might be a king and steal my peoples' things
But I don't go for that power crazy way
All that I could rule but I don't check for fools
All that I need is to be left to live my way
Say listen what I say
I could chase around for nothing to be found
But why look for something that is never there
I may get it wrong sometimes but I'll come back in style
For I realise your love means more than anything
The song you make me sing
Walls Come Tumbling Down
You don't have to take this crap
You don't have to sit back and relax
You can actually try changing it
I know we've always been taught to rely upon those in authority
But you never know until you try how things just might be
If we came together so strongly
Are you gonna try to make this work or spend your days down in the dirt
You see things can change and walls come tumbling down
Governments crack and systems fall because unity is powerful
Lights go out walls come tumbling down
The competition is a color TV
We're on still pause with the video machine
That keep you slaves to the H.P
Until the unity is threatened by those who have and who have not
Those who are with and those who are without
And dangle jobs like a donkey's carrot
Until you don't know where you are
Are you gonna get to realize the class war's real, not mythologized
And like Jericho the walls came tumbling down
Governments crack and systems fall because unity is powerful
Lights go out walls come tumbling down
Down you'll be too weak to fight it down will you deny it?
Are you gonna be threatened by the public enemies number ten
Those who play the power game they take the profits, you take the blame
When they tell you there's no rise in pay
Are you gonna try to make this work or spend your days down in the dirt
You see things can change and walls come tumbling down
Governments crack and systems fall because unity is powerful
Lights go out walls come tumbling down
Shout To The Top
I was half in mind, I was half in need
And as the rain came down, I dropped to my knees and I prayed
I said, Heavenly thing, please cleanse my soul
I've seen all on offer and I'm not impressed at all
I was halfway home, I was half insane
And every shop window I looked in just looked the same
I said now send me a sign to save my life
Because at this moment in time there's nothing certain in these days of mine
See, it's a frightening thing when it dawns upon you
That I know as much as the day I was born
And though I wasn't asked I might as well stay
And promise myself each and every day that
When you're knocked on your back and your life's a flop
And when you're down on the bottom there's nothing else but to shout to the top
You gonna shout to the top we gonna shout to the top
Come To Milton Keynes
May I walk you home tonight on this fine and lovely night tonight -
We'll walk past the luscious houses through rolling lawns and lovely flowers -
Our nice new town where the curtains are drawn
Where hope is started and dreams can be borne.
Let us share our insanity go mad together in Community
Boys on the corner looking for their supper
Boys round the green looking for some slaughter -
We used to chase dreams now we chase the dragon
Mine is the semi with the Union Jack on.
In our paradise lost we'll be finding our sanity
In this paradise found we'll be losing our way for a brave new day.
May I slash my wrists tonight, on this fine Conservative night tonight -
I was looking for a job so I came to town
I easily adopt when the chips are down -
I read the ad about the private schemes
I liked the idea but now I'm not so Keyne.
