Ain't thou watching my film
Analysing me
Rusty junker squawker
Shaking up it say
If we should pull
The plugs out, out of our history
And all of history

Yeah
Things that shouldn't be
Things that couldn't be
No, things that had to be

Don't you see?
Don't you see?

It's going up up up
It's going up
It's going up up up
It's going up

Let's get the hell out of here
Let's get the hell out of here
Going up
Going down

D'you want to know what's wrong with the world?
Everywhere there's people with no flowers in their hair
Flowers in their hair
Flowers

D'you want to know what's wrong with the world?
Everywhere there's people with no flowers in their hair
Flowers in their hair
Flowers

The sky seems full
When you're in the cradle
The rain will fall
And wash your dreams
Stars are stars
And they shine so hard

Now you spit out the sky
Because it's empty and hollow
All your dreams
Are hanging out to dry
Stars are stars
And they shine so cold

I saw you climb
Shadows on the trees
We lost some time
After things that never matter

I caught that falling star
It cut my hands to pieces
Where did I put that box
That had my name in it

I saw you climb
Shadows on the trees
We lost some time
After things that never matter

Cards are played
And the clock's real heavy
Say you're numb
Make another day
You came here late
You've gone home early
Who'll remember now
You've gone away
Gone away
Gone away

Mother says
Sister says
Would you mind if we laugh at you
Do you mind if we sing with you

Daddy says
Brother says
Make us proud of you
Do something we can't do
Do it, do it
Do it, do it
Do it

John waits
Barry hates
I think I'm heading for a fall
They hope I'm heading for a fall

Peter says
Julie says
I think it's time you stopped stalling
We think it's time you start falling
Fall

Mother says
Sister says
D'you mind if we laugh at you
Mind if we sing with you

Daddy says
Brother says
Make us proud of you
Do something we can't do

Do it, do it, do it, do it
Do it, do it, do it, do it
Do it, do it

I bagsy yours
If you'll bagsy mine
I'll take a chance
If you'll take the blame
Forget it
Forget it

Keymon

Boys are the same
Brains in their pockets
Girls are the same
Knock it and rock it
Remember
Remember

Keymon

I'm not a holy man
I'm too lowly for that
I'm not a praying man
I'm not ready for that

Keymon
Keymon

I bagsy yours
If you'll bagsy mine
I'll take a chance
If you'll take the blame
Forget it
Forget it

I read it in a magazine
I don't wanna see it again
I threw away the magazine
And looked for someone to explain
I don't wanna look back
I can't look around
I don't wanna see it coming round


Listen to the ups and downs
Listen to the sound they make
Don't be scared when it gets loud
When you're skin begins to shake
'Cause you don't wanna look back
You gotta look tall
You gotta see those creeps crawl


I know you know
I know you know

Lyrics
I can see you've got the blues
In your alligator shoes
Me, I'm all smiles
I got my crocodiles
I don't wanna look back
I can't turn around
I don't want to see it coming down


Met someone just the other day
Said wait until tomorrow
I said, hey what you doing today
He said, I'm going to do it tomorrow
Met someone just the other day
Said wait until tomorrow
I said, hey, what you doing today
I'm going to do it tomorrow


. . .



if i said
i'd lost my way
would you sympathise
could you sympathise
i'm jumbled up
may'be i'm losing my touch
but you know
i didn't have it anyway

won't you come on down to my
won't you come on down to my
rescue

things are wrong
things are going wrong
can you tell that in a song
don't know what i want anymore
first i want a kiss
and then i want it all

won't you come on down to my
Lyricswon't you come on down to my
rescue

rescue, rescue, rescue

things are wrong
things are going wrong
can you tell that in a song
losing sense of those harder things
is this the blues i'm singing
is this the blues i'm singing

is this the blues i'm singing
is this the blues i'm singing
rescue
is this the blues i'm singing

I've been up to Villiers Terrace
To see what's a-happening
There's people rolling 'round on the carpet
Mixing up the medicine

I've been up to Villiers Terrace
I saw what's a-happening
People rolling 'round on the carpet
Biting wool and pulling string
You said people rolled on carpet
But I never thought they'd do those things

I've been up to Villiers Terrace
I've been in a daze for days
I drank some of the medici-i-i-ine
And I didn't like the taste

I've been up to Villiers Terrace
I've been in a daze for days
People rolling 'round on your carpet
Biting wool and pulling string
You said people rolled on carpet
But I never thought they'd do those things

Been up to Villiers Terrace
To see what's a-happening
People rolling 'round on the carpet
Passing 'round the medicine

Been up to Villiers Terrace
I saw what's a-happening
There's people rolling 'round on my carpet
Biting wool and pulling string
You said people rolled on carpet, boys
But I never thought they'd do those things

Bopsie waddy waddy
Shake your money
(Been down to Villiers Terrace.
Bopsie waddy waddy
Shake your money
(Been down to Villiers Terrace)...
Bopsie waddy waddy
Shake your money
(Been down to Villiers Terrace)...
Bopsie waddy waddy
Save your money
(Been down to Villiers Terrace)...

Can you hear it?
The sound of something burning
Something changing
On the merry-go-round tonight

The pictures on my wall
Are about to swing and fall
Love it all
Love it all

Ooh, we should have
Should have got it right
Ooh, we should have
Should have got it right tonight

People come
I count every one
Faces burning, hearts beating
Nowhere left for us to run

The pictures on my wall
Are about to swing and fall
Love it all
Love it all

Ooh, we should have
Should have got it right
Ooh, we should have
Should have got it right tonight

Can you hear it
The sound of someone thinking
Someone thinking
On the merry-go-round tonight

The pictures on my wall
Are about to swing and fall
Love it all
Love it all

. . .



Where the hell have you been
We've been waiting with our best suits on
Hair slicked back and all that jazz
Rolling down the Union Jack
See you at the barricades babe
See you when the lights go low, Joe
Hear you when the wheels turn round
Someday when the sky turns black


It appears because it's what I feel
I know I don't understand
If you ask you know I don't mind kneeling
But when my knees hurt I like to stand
Instinct is the common lawyer
A million years won't erase
Strike the chord I'm searching for
Call it a committed race


No matter how I shake my fist
I know I can't resist it
No matter how you shake your fist
You know you can't resist it
See you at the barricades babe
See you when the lights go low, Joe
Hear you when the wheels turn round
Someday when the sky turns black
