It's, not, how you start, it's how you finish,
And it's, not, where you're from, it's where you're at,

Everybody gets knocked down,
Everybody gets knocked down,
How quick are you gonna' get up?
How quick are you gonna' get up?
Everybody gets knocked down,
Everybody gets knocked down,
How quick are you gonna' get up?
Just how are you gonna' get up?

Like Ali in the jungle,
Like Nelson in jail,
Like Simpson on the mountain,
With odds like that, they were bound to fail
Like Hannah in the darkness,
Like Adam's in the dark,
Like Ludwig Van, how I loved that man, well the guy went deaf and didn't give a fuck, no...

No, no, no

It's, not, where you are, It's where you're going,
Where are you going?
And it's, not, about the things you've done, it's what you're doing, now,
What are you doing, now?

Everybody gets knocked down,
Everybody gets knocked down,
How quick are you gonna' get up?
How quick are you gonna' get up, now?
Everybody gets knocked down,
Everybody gets knocked down,
How quick are you gonna' get up?
Just how are you gonna' get up?

Like Ali in the jungle,
Like Nelson in jail,
Like Simpson on the mountain,
Well with odds like that, they were bound to fail
Like Hannah in the darkness,
Like Adam's in the dark,
Like Ludwig Van, how I loved that man, well the guy went deaf and didn't give a fuck, no...

Oooh, ooh, ooh
No, no, no
Oooh, ooh, ooh
No, no, no
Oooh, ooh, ooh

It's the greatest comeback since Lazarus,
The greatest comeback since Lazarus,
It's the greatest comeback since Lazarus,
The greatest comeback since Lazarus,
It's the greatest comeback since Lazarus,
The greatest comeback since Lazarus,
The greatest comeback since Lazarus,
The greatest comeback...
It's the greatest comeback...

(Radio Commentator) This, is the most joyous scene, ever seen in the history of boxing, this is an incredible scene, the place is going wild, Muhammed Ali has won, Muhammed Ali has won, by a knockdown! By a knockdown! The thing they said was impossible, he's done!

She's lost in the dark
She thinks she's been enlightened
From the schoolhouse in the park
Her house is full of mirrors
She can't really seem to look at herself

She lives on Narcissus Road
Where the streets are paved with gold
Where everybody loves you
Everybody loves you

She's beautiful, but that's fading fast
And her clock is ticking loud and fast
She's so unaware of the things she does
She reminds me of that replicant
That did not know what she was

She lives on Narcissus Road
Where the streets are paved with gold
Where everybody loves you
Everybody loves you

She lives on Narcissus Road
No-one dies or ever gets old
Everybody loves you
Everybody loves you

Twinkle twinkle little star
Who the fuck d'you think you are?

She lives on Narcissus Road
Where the streets are paved with gold
Where everybody loves you
Everybody loves you

She lives on Narcissus Road
No-one dies or ever gets old
Everybody loves you
Everybody loves you

Everybody loves you
Everybody loves you

I told you
everyone's the same
but its no use
its no use
lay it all to blame
at my door
that wont work no more
i've heard it all before
and i, i see you now
you have changed somehow
and i, i wish i knew you back then
back when you were good

I know you
better than you know yourself
and its no use
you can't buy a new life off a shelf
it wont set you free
you're not fooling me
its so sad to see
how you've changed your tune
and let go
you're like a vampire
you're soaking with bodies' blood
oh how i wish i knew you back
when you were good
back when you were someone
back when you were good
back when you were someone
when you were good,
you used to be so loud
you burned so bright
your stars shined out so bright

you had it all right in the palm of your hand
and let it fall like a million grains of sand
you wear away to a place where nobody knew
just who you are
and theres no one to answer to
no one to question the person you have become
and what have you done
what have you done
and you have gone to hide somehwere
yah you have gone to hide somewhere

. . .


I love you more than my record collection,
I love you more than my football team,
I love you more than my Adidas trainers,
If you knew me better you'd know how much that means

I love you more than Caravaggio,
I love you more than all of my hooded tops,
I love you more than Tony Soprano,
For those who do not know me thats a fuck of alot

I, can't imagine, a world, without you, no
I, cannot fathom, what we'd do

Better than Elvis in his 60th comeback,
Better than Clive in 74,
You've got more balls than Johnny Cash the Man in Black,
I know I'm greedy but I want more!

You mean more to me than the Clash on a disc,
You know I loved them since I was a kid,
I'd take a bullet for you in a flash,
I'd crawl a million miles on broken glass

I, can't imagine, a world, without you, no
I, cannot fathom, what we'd do

I, can't imagine, my world, without you, no
I, I cannot fathom, just what we'd do
What we would do

Yeah, I love you more than my record collection,
I love you more than my football team,
I love you more than my adidas trainers,

I love you more than you'll ever know!

I Miss You

[No lyrics]

. . .


I’m listening to you, you’re not listening to me.
Your mouth is moving, but it don’t mean shit to me.
I’m richer than you could ever be.
You think you’re on the way up, but you’re coming down
Yeah you’re going down…

Some nights I can’t decide between murder and suicide.
I’m going out
Going out
Going out of my mind
Well you can run but you can’t hide
It’ll eat you up from the inside
I’m going out
I’m going out
I’m going out of my mind, out of my mind.

You skin is pale and you’re looking thin
The lights are on, but no one is in.
Your rotting is destroying you from within
Wont you please put down the racket,
This is a game you cannot win,
No you cannot win…

Some nights I can’t decide between murder and suicide.
I’m going out
I’m going out
I’m going out of my mind, out of my mind
Well you can run but you can’t hide
It’ll eat you up from the inside
I’m going out
I’m going out
I’m going out of my mind, out of my mind.

I’m going out of my mind
I’m going out of my mind
I’m going out of my mind

.
Some nights I can’t decide between murder and suicide.
I’m going out
I’m going out
I’m going out of my mind
Well you can run but you can’t hide
It’ll eat you up from the inside
I’m going out
I’m going out
I’m going out of my mind, out of my mind.

I’m going out of my mind
I’m going out of my mind
I’m going out of my mind
I’m going out of my mind

. . .


Everybody's crazy
As far as I can see
But that's not me

And kids these days, they're lazy
Want everything for free
But that's not me

And the temperature's the same
When you dip your toe into the icy lake
As when you dive in
Dive in

Everybody's chasing
Someone else's dream
But that's not me

And nobody is facing
What all of that could mean
But that's not me

And the temperature's the same
When you dip your toe into the icy lake
As when you dive in
Dive in
Dive in

Dive in
Oh, oh...
Dive in
Oh, oh...
Dive in
Oh, oh...
Dive in
Oh, oh...

People Say

Do you think I am made of stone?
Cold and unfeeling
Where all the pieces of my heart
You have been stealing

I have to tell you just how I feel
Without some sugar coating
Are you so blind that you cannot see
that I am suffocating

Oh yeah

So Let me breathe
ooh Oh
I have to live

Although it hurts me to confess
I can't stop myself from thinking
Its better to jump overboard
before this ship starts sinking

Would you please give me some air?

And Let me breathe
ooh Oh
I have to live

I need to save some time for myself
and leave behind
I want to shine over time like
like just exist

Won't you please give me some air?

And Let me breathe
ooh Oh
I have to live

I need to save some time for myself
and leave behind
I want to shine over time
like just exist
