Stone Roses lyrics

(click song name in right column to view lyrics)

All Across The Sands

Bones of an impressive romance
Scattered all across the sands
A secret safe with all the world
Too vain to seem so capable

Can you hear it calling
Do you feel warmer
As the hired hand's exposed

How can a pretty painted shell
Send them all packing off to Hell
A freight train laughs and rattles by
You kissed the girls and made them die

Can you hear it calling
Do you feel warmer
As the hired hand's exposed

And I'll never come here again
Ah, we will never come here again
Ah, we will never play here again, again

Can you hear it calling
Do you feel warmer
As the hired hand's exposed

After her call
After her call
After her call
And she calls

All I Want

I show you the way
I can make it sound so easy
??? anger ??? lazy
There's so much to be seen
It isn't just a dream

And all I need is all I want
So don't turn away

Help you get away
Tell you that you're slowly sinking
??? anger ??? lazy
There's so much that I can't see
It isn't, it isn't just a dream

And all I need is all I want
So don't turn away
All I need is all I want
Don't ??? me away

And all I need is all I want
No no don't turn away
All I need is all I want
Don't, don't shy away

And all I need is all I want
No no don't turn away
All I need is all I want
You can't find me a way
Do you see ??? me
Don't, don't turn away, turn away

Begging You

The fly on the coachwheel told me that he got it
And he knew what to do with it
Everybody saw it, saw the dust that he made
King bee in a frenzy ready to blow
Got the horn good to go, wait his stings all gone
Now he's begging you, begging you

Here is a warning the sky will divide
Since I took off the lid now there's nowhere to hide
Now I'm begging you I'm begging you
This is a mystery not to be solved
But be minded like minded, I'm gone, still I'm with you
I'm begging you I'm begging you

The fly on the coachwheel told me that he got it
And he knew what to do with it
Everybody saw it saw the dust that he made
Make all the dust that you can
King bee in a frenzy ready to blow

Breaking Into Heaven

I've been casing your joint
For the best years of my life
Like the look of your stuff
Out of sight
When I'm hungry
And when I'm cold
When I'm having it rough
Or just getting old

Listen up, sweet child of mine
Have I got news for you
Nobody leaves this place alive
They'll die and join the queue

Better man the barricades
I'm coming in tonight
Had a line of my dust
Out of sight
When I wander
And when I roam
I'll find a soul I can trust
I'm coming home

Listen up sweet child of mine
Have I got news for you
Nobody leaves this place alive
They'll die and join the queue

Sing it
I'm gonna break right into heaven
I can't wait anymore

Heaven's gates won't hold me
I'll saw those suckers down
Laughing loud at your locks
When they hit the ground
Every icon
In every town
Hear this, your number's up
I'm coming 'round

Listen up sweet child of mine
Have I got news for you
Nobody leaves this place alive
They'll die and join the queue

Sing it
I'm gonna break right into heaven
I can't wait anymore

How many times
Have I had to tell you
You don't have to wait to die
You can have it all
Anytime you want it
Yeah, the kingdom's all inside

Breakout

(Instrumental)

Bye Bye Badman

Soak me to my skin
Will you drown me in your sea
Submission ends and I begin
Choke me smoke the air
In this citrus sucking sunshine
I don't care you're not all there

Every backbone and heart you break
Will still come back for more
Submission ends it all

Here he come
Got no question got no love
I'm throwing stones at you man
I want you black and blue and
I'm gonna make you bleed
Gonna bring you down to your knees
Bye bye badman
Ooh bye bye

Choke me smoke the air
In this citrus sucking sunshine
I don't care you're not all there

You've been bought and paid
You're a whore and a slave
Your dark star holy shrine
Come taste the end you're mine

Here he come
Got no question got no love
I'm throwing stones at you man
I want you black and blue and
I'm gonna make you bleed
Gonna bring you down to your knees
Bye bye badman
Ooh bye bye

I've got bad intention
I intend to
Knock you down
These stones I throw
Oh these French kisses
Are the only way I've found

I've got bad intention
I intend to knock you down
These stones I throw
Oh these French kisses
Are the only way I've found

Daybreak

This is the daybreak
And this is the love we make
But love is the law here
You've got to know how I love it yeah
It's more than a mover
You know it takes all fast all song
Stone cold wild bring the love in son
Brother man true nature child

For Atlanta Georgia to Longsight Manchester
Everyone ready so, so willing and able yeah yeah yeah
For the love you make
You know, sis
Yeah Yeah Yeah

She built it to make ya
We are love makers ain't we
Sister Rosa Lee Parks love forever her name
In your heart
Forever in my heart

And as I sing on this song
Someone just got rolled on
Hey, oh, hey, yeah

New York City to Addis Ababa ba ba ba
Keep on keeping strong
Keep on keeping on

So why no stack for black
On a radio station in this the city
Been going on so long level on the line
I'm a leaf on the vine of time
Black bones are the original bones and so
This the whole wide world should know
I came to sing this song in your city
Ooh, one for the dreamers
One more for the dreamers

Don't Stop

Don't stop
Isn't it funny how you shine
Don't stop
Isn't it funny how you shine

Here the sea spray give
I was with her
We're under the ship so get me over
Now that was me
Listen
Now she fishes now
Listen
There was no one out there we used
There is the news for me useless
Now so much waste
How we'll be teased

Don't stop
Isn't it funny how you shine
Don't stop
Isn't it funny how you shine

Won't you just ask me
You're an imbecile
What's the matter for everyone I feel
Pain blue singer
He's
Pain just a guitar
From the top

I wake I steal look I feel loose
We're all here now who's the first
He's into my heart
He must
Be one of us

Don't stop
Isn't it funny how you shine
Don't stop
Isn't it funny how you shine

Driving South

Driving south 'round midnight
Man, I must have been insane
Driving south 'round midnight
In a howling hurricaine

I stopped for an old man hitcher
At a lonely old crossroads
He said I'm going nowhere
I'm only here to see if I can steal your soul

I'm not trying to make you
I don't want to touch your skin
I know all there is to know
About you and all your sins

Well you ain't too young or pretty
And you sure as hell can't sing
Anytime you want to sell your soul,
I've got a toll-free number you can ring

Yeah, that's what I thought he said anyway

I'm not trying to make you
I don't want to touch your skin
I know all there is to know
About you and all your sins

Well you ain't too young or pretty
And you sure as hell can't sing
Anytime you want to sell your soul,
I've got a toll-free number you can ring

0-8-0-0 treble-six oh yeah
0-8-0-0 treble-six oh yeah

I stopped for an old man hitcher
At a lonely old crossroads
He said I'm going nowhere
I'm only here to see if I can steal your soul

Good Golly

Elephant Stone

Burst into heaven
Kiss in the cotton clouds
Arctic sheets and fields of wheat
I can't stop coming down
Your shrunken head
Looking down on me above
Send me home like an elephant stone
To smash my dream of love

Dreaming till the sun goes down
And night turns into day
Rooms are empty I've got plenty
You could move in right away

Seems like there's a hole
In my dreams
In my dreams
In my dreams

Down through the heavens
Choke on the cotton clouds
Arctic sheets and fields of wheat
I can't stop coming down
Your shrunken head
Looking down on me above
Send me home like an elephant stone
To smash my dream of love

Did your bed and bookshelf go
And run run run away
These four walls saw the rise and fall
And your midnight getaway

Seems like there's a hole
In my dreams
Or so it seems
Yet nothing means anything
Anymore

Elizabeth My Dear

Tear me apart and boil my bones
I'll not rest till she's lost her throne
My aim is true
My message is clear
It's curtains for you
Elizabeth my dear

Fall

Pretending that the way's through the door
I want to see you falling
A thousand reasons why I'd loose my hair
I'm not your darling darling
I want to see you falling

You tell me that your back's to the wall
I want to see you falling
The saviour comes and a theif takes a walk

Take a walk

The feedback is on the ball
Your feedback don't taste good at all

You help yourself but its at my expense
I want to see you falling
I dont touch my furlong for no one
I'm not your darling darling
I want to see you fall

To count this and they pledge there they go
I'm not your darling darling
A thousand reasons they won't cut his hair
Were not your darlings darlings

The saviour king and a thief took a walk

Fools Gold

The gold road's sure a long road
Winds on through the hills for fifteen days
The pack on my back is aching
The straps seem to cut me like a knife

The gold road's sure a long road
Winds on through the hills for fifteen days
The pack on my back is aching
The straps seem to cut me like a knife

I'm no clown I won't back down
I don't need you to tell me what's going down
Down down down down da down down down
Down down down down da down down down

I'm standing alone
I'm watching you all
I'm seeing you sinking
I'm standing alone
You're weighing the gold
I'm watching you sinking
Fool's gold

These boots were made for walking
The Marquis de Sade never made no boots like these
Gold's just around the corner
Breakdown's coming up round the bend

Sometimes you have to try to get along dear
I know the truth and I know what you're thinking

Down down down down da down down down

I'm standing alone
I'm watching you all
I'm seeing you sinking
I'm standing alone
You're weighing the gold
I'm watching you sinking
Fool's gold

Fool's gold

I'm standing alone
I'm watching you all
I'm seeing you sinking
I'm standing alone
You're weighing the gold
I'm watching you sinking
Fool's gold

Fool's gold

The Fozz

This song is Elephant Stone played backwards. No lyrics unless you want to read those from Elephant Stone backwards.

Getting Plenty

And I'm not going down
Oh you'll not have me now
You cannot drag me down

So easy to approach me
I only ??? with ???
You think I'm only joking around
Cause I'm holding ???
Oh, you'll not have me now

You make her be ??? for me
And I say, must say something
And I can't turn my back on the world
Cause I've got to fix it straight
I don't know what ??? way

You're dragging me, dragging me down
Take me down
show me around
Don't worry now
Cause I'm not ready now
You cannot have us now
You will not drag me down

You can have me whenever you want me

You're dragging me, dragging me down
Take me down
show me round
Don't worry now
Cause I'm not ready now
You cannot have us now
You will not drag me down

You can have me whenever you want me
You can have me whenever you want me

Whenever you want me
Whenever you want me
Whenever you want me

You can have me whenever you want
Whenever you want

You can have me whenever you want me
You can have me whenever you want me

???
???

Whenever you want me
You can have me whenever you want

Going Down

Dawn sings in the garden
Phone sings in the hall
This boy's dead from two day's life
Resurrected by the call
Penny here, we've got to come
So come on round to me
There's so much penny lying here
To touch, taste and tease

Ring a ding ding ding i'm going down
I'm coming round

Penny's place, a crummy room
Her dansette crackles to Jimi's tune
I don't care, I taste ambre solaire
Her neck, her thighs, her lips, her hair

Ring a ding ding ding i'm going down
I'm coming around

All thoughts of sleep desert me
There is no time
30 minutes brings me round to her number 9

Yeah she looks like a painting
Jackson Pollock's number 5
Come into the forest and taste the trees
The sun starts shining and i'm hard to please

Ring a ding ding ding i'm going down
I'm coming around

All thoughts of sleep desert me
There is no time
30 minutes brings me round to her number 9

To look down on the clouds
You don't need to fly
I've never flown in a plane
I'll live until I die

Good Times

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned
I'll tell you my story man,
I wish I'd never been born
I'm loose at the seams,
I've broken my dreams
And my hand it shakes the pen
Come on, come on now baby
Let the good times roll again

Where did our sweet love go
Who stole away our time
Why do the stars above
Refuse to shine
The harder I try to paint a picture
Of the way it was back then
The more I miss the good times baby
So let 'em roll again

Good times baby, show me a sign
I need to know that your love is mine
Love me up girl yeah reel me in
I'm hooked line and sinker, she's my heroin

How many days have I been lying on my back
Staring at the ceiling girl, stretching on your rack
The harder I try, to paint a picture of the way it was back then
The more I miss the good times baby, let 'em roll again

Said I'm hooked now, I'm not fakin in here till the day I die
Can't get enough now, my heart is aching
I'm in too deep to stop, all I want is those...

Guernica

Watch me at war, really up
You wanna hurt me, stop the row
We both are stitched up now
We're hard with fear, hard, speak up
You wanna hurt me, stop the row
We both are stitched up now
We're whores, sit down,
We're whores that's us

He wanted us he swore and all we've got
You wanna hurt me stop the row
We both are stitched up now
We're hard with fear, hard, speak up
You wanna hurt me, stop the row
We both are stitched up now
We're whores sit down
We're whores that's us

Simple lives yeah we don't have
We pack up, in truth it seems this
Peacemaker has arms that hold fear
Say gargoyles can you see the wonder?
Yes I fear the carbine
What does never wrong mean?
That's right

Every one of us he swore so hurry up
You wanna hurt me stop the row
We both are stitched up now
We're hard with fear, hard, speak up
You wanna hurt me, stop the row
The both of us are stitched up now
We're whores, sit down
We're whores, that's us
Mean, sinful eyes that maim of fear
It's the look that stings I fear boy
Being distrusting I trust no-one
They've been back down for nothing
It was never shared it's ours
Even though those names do follow

Haddock

(Instrumental)

The Hardest Thing In The World

The hardest thing in the world

Holland [?] it don't please
I never wanted to leave
Searching for a perfect day
It never happens that way
Ahey hey hey

I'm sick and tired and so obscene
Will heaven help me be clean?
Searching for a perfect day
It never happens that way
Ahey hey hey

Cut away, I know your world wants you around

You never heard a word I said
It's very simple to me
That if you knew you wouldn't say
It never happens that way
Ahey hey hey

And the impression I get
As the story unfurls
That you're the hardest thing in the world

Cut away, I know your world wants you around

What you feel might not be
It seems softer to me
I cannot climb to touch your spire
I'm getting higher and higher

Cut away, I know your world wants you around
The hardest thing in the world

Heart On The Staves

You act the part
You play the game
Squat on my airwave
A blandness rules the waves on its own
And that's where I come in

Nothing for nothing
You squat on our airwaves
Oh so typical
Yeah, you're on my airwave

Pretentions ??? own
And drop it around your neck
You're so creative, yet you left you're heart on the staves
You left it on the staves

Oh
Heart on the staves oh
Heart on the staves oh

You act the part
don't play the game
Squat on my airwaves
A blandness rules the waves on its own
And that's where we come in

Nothing for nothing
You squat on our airwaves
Oh so typical
Yeah we're on the airwaves

Oh
Heart on the stave oh
We don't make mistakes oh

Where's your heart?
Where's your heart?
Stuck on the staves
We don't make mistakes

Ha ha

Here It Comes

I'm not so sure, and yet I know
Give me your lie
It's worthless anyhow
And worthless comes

I'm not so tall
As I like to think I am
Though I'll be found
Forever in your pain
And here it comes

I'd rather be no one than someone with no one
I'd rather be no one than someone with no one
To love

How Do You Sleep

I've seen your severed head
At a banquet for the dead
All are dressed up for dinner
Looked so fine
Your shining silver salver
So tastefully powdered
With the finest military quick lime

Now try and picture this
As I gave you a kiss
The apple in your mouth slipped in mine
The orchestra played the sweetest serenade
We laughed as we put away your wine
So raise your glasses, here's a toast to wasted lives
May all their ghosts come back to haunt you
And tell you how they died

How do you sleep
How do you last the night
And keep the dogs at bay
How do you feel when you close your eyes
And try and drift away
Does it feel any better now
Does it mean any more
When the angel of death comes
Knock- knocking and banging at your door

When all the fun was over
I put you on my shoulder
Took you home away from it all
Shot down and claimed
Mounted and framed
Tastefully hung upon my wall
All my dreams your nightmares?
I hope they all come true
Get off your knees the party is over
I'm coming home to you

How do you sleep
How do you last the night
And keep the dogs at bay
How do you feel when you close your eyes
And try and drift away
Does it feel any better now
Does it mean any more
When the angel of death comes
Knock- knocking and banging at your door

How do you sleep
How do you last the night
And keep the dogs at bay
How do you feel when you close your eyes
And try and drift away
Does it feel any better now
Does it mean any more
When the angel of death comes
Knock knocking and banging at your door
at your door...

I Am The Resurrection

Down, down, you bring me down
I hear you knocking down my door
And I can't sleep at night
Your face it has no place
No room for you inside my house
I need to be alone

Don't waste your words
I don't need anything from you
I don't care where you've been
Or what you plan to do

Turn turn I wish you'd learn
There's a time and place for everything
I've got to get it through
Cut loose 'cause you're no use
I couldn't stand another second
In your company

Don't waste your words
I don't need anything from you
I don't care where you've been
Or what you plan to do

Stone me why can't you see
You're a no one nowhere washed up baby
Who'd look better dead
Your tongue is far too long
I don't like the way it sucks and slurs
Upon my every word

Don't waste your words
I don't need anything from you
I don't care where you've been
Or what you plan to do

I am the resurrection and I am the life
I couldn't ever bring myself
To hate you as I'd like

I am the resurrection and I am the life
I couldn't ever bring myself
To hate you as I'd like

I Wanna Be Adored

I don't have to sell my soul
He's already in me
I don't need to sell my soul
He's already in me

I wanna be adored
I wanna be adored

I don't have to sell my soul
He's already in me
I don't need to sell my soul
He's already in me

I wanna be adored
I wanna be adored

You adore me

You adore me
I wanna
I wanna
I wanna be adored
I wanna

I gotta be adored

I wanna be adored

I'm Without You

I'm serious
I want her
I have to be sure
I admit that I'd hate to die
Please help me
I am without shoes
I wouldn't be selfish
I cursed myself and they laughed
Please
I am Without Shoes

Yeah
I don't think I need to stare
Please help me
I am without shoes
I wouldn't be selfish
I cursed myself and they laughed
Please
I am Without Shoes

Yeah
I don't think I need to stare
Please

Just A Little Bit

You're thinking that you love him
You're careering of the track
You're too busy doing nothing
You don't see that it won't last
When your strung across the age gap
All your friends speed down the train
And your a prune to that old cliche
If I could only have my time again
Hand off the handle
Where's your self respect?
Your water's all a sucked up ending
Where's your measurement now?

Think you're the artful dodger
You can only dodge for so long
And when fate it pulls your plug out
You'll wonder what went wrong

Hand off the handle
Where's your self respect?
Your water's all a sucked up ending
Where's your measurement now?

There's no way back
No way back
Just a little bit
Just a little bit

When your strung across the age gap
All your friends speed down the train
And you're a prune that old cliche
If I could only have my time again

Hand off the handle
Where's your self respect?
Your water's all a sucked up ending
Where's your measurement now?

Nowhere fast
Nowhere fast
Just a little bit
Just a little bit
Woo!

Love Spreads

Love spreads her arms
Waits there for the nails
I forgive you boy I will prevail
Too much to take, some cross to bear
I'm hiding in the trees in a picnic
She's over there
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

She didn't scream
She didn't make a sound
I forgive you boy but don't leave town
Coal black skin, naked in the rain
Hammer flash in the lightning
They're hurting her again

Let me put you in the picture
Let me show you what I mean
The messiah is my sister
Ain't no king man she's my queen

Let me put you in the picture
Let me show you what I mean
The messiah is my sister
Ain't no king man she's my queen

I had a dream I've seen the light
Don't put it out, say she's alright
Yeah, she's my sister

She didn't scream
She didn't make a sound
I forgive you but don't leave town
Coal black skin naked in the rain
Hammer flash in the lighting
They're hurting her again
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

Let me put you in the picture
Let me show you what I mean
The messiah is my sister
Ain't no king man, she's my queen

Let me put you in the picture

Ain't no king man, she's my queen

I had a dream I've seen the light
Don't put it out say she's alright
Yeah, she's my sister

Made Of Stone

Your knuckles whiten on the wheel
The last thing that your hands will feel
your final flight can't be delayed

No land just sky it's so serene
Your pink fat lips let go a scream
You fry and melt I love the scene

Sometimes I
Fantasize
When the streets are cold and lonely
And the cars they burn below me
Don't these times
Fill your eyes
When the streets are cold and lonely
And the cars they burn below me
Are you all alone
Is anybody home

I'm standing warm against the cold
Now that the flames have taken hold
At least you left your life in style

And for as far as I can see
Tin twisted grills grin back at me
Bad money dies
I love the scene

Sometimes I
Fantasize
When the streets are cold and lonely
And the cars they burn below me
Don't these times
Fill your eyes
When the streets are cold and lonely
And the cars they burn below me
Are you all alone
Is anybody home

Sometimes I
Fantasize
When the streets are cold and lonely
And the cars they burn below me
Don't these times
Fill your eyes
When the streets are cold and lonely
And the cars they burn below me
Are you all alone
Are you made of stone

Mersey Paradise

River splashes against the rocks
And I scale the slope and hope the tracks won't
Lead me down to dark black pits
Or places where we fall to bits

If you were there I'd hold her down
I'll push her under while she drowns
And couldn't breathe and call for air
She doesn't care for my despair

Or is it me? Or the one that's wrong
You see it in the sea
Liverpool's where I belong
In my Mersey paradise

As I stare an oil wheel comes
Sailing by and I feel like
Growing fins and falling in
With the bricks, the bikes, the rusty tin

I swim along without a care
I'm eating sand when I need air
You can bet your life I'll meet a pike
Who'll wolf me down for tea tonight

I want to be (I want to be)
Where the drownings are (drownings are)
You see it in the sea
Liverpool's where I belong
In my Mersey paradise

I want to be (I want to be)
Where the drownings are (drownings are)
You see it in the sea
River cools where I belong

Oh yeah

I want to be (I want to be)
Where the drownings are (drownings are)
You see it in the sea
Liverpool's where I belong
In my Mersey paradise

Mission Impossible (a.k.a. You're No One)

I'm not your toy, I thought I knew you once
You won't fool me, you can't fool me
You're really dim, you're sitting on my mouth (?)
Those teenage years, your quest from God

I'm not your toy, you thought you knew me once
Well don't push me, you can't fool me
I sing so clear, you're sitting on my mouth
Those teenage years, your quest from God

You're the one, you're the one
You wanted to be that man.......impossible

But you're the one, you're the one,
and I'm you're son
I'll always be, I'll always be

You're the one , you're the one
You wanted to be that,
You're the one, you're the one
The way to be that man

But you're no-one, no-one, no-one
No No no-one, no-one, no-one
No No no-one, no-one, no-one
No No no-one, no-one, no-one

Nowhere Fast

You're thinking that you love it
But you're getting nowhere fast
You keep busy doing nothing
You can't see that it won't last

When you're strung across the age gap
All you're friends spinning down the drain
And you're praying to that old cliche
If I could only have my time again

Chorus [completely unintelligible]

Think you're the artful dodger
You can only dodge for so long
And when Fagan pulls your blood out
You won't know what went wrong

Chorus

Nowhere Fast
Nowhere Fast
Nowhere Fast
Nowhere Fast

When you're strung across the age gap
All your friends spinning down the drain
And you're praying to that old cliche
If I could only have my time again

Chorus

Nowhere Fast
Nowhere Fast
Nowhere Fast
Nowhere Fast

One Love

Any time you want me
Any time at all
Any time you need me
All you gotta do is call

Any time you want me
Any time at all
Any time you need me
All you gotta do is call

I'm no dog, I'm a dolphin
I just don't live in the sea
You feel my flow and you flood my brain
Show me a vision you wild apparition
And sink to the depths of your soul

One love, we don't need another love
One love, one heart and one soul
We can have it all
Easy, easy dooo

Any time you want me
Any time at all
Any time you need me
All you gotta do is call

You put me one step clear of the chain gang
And two miles over the line
Oh all the scenes I saw left me wanting more
Show me a vision you wild apparition
And sink to the depths of your soul

One love, we don't need another love
One love, one heart and one soul

Your fruit's in season
And these feet fall surely sound
And what goes up must come down
Turns into dust or turns into stone
Do do do do...

Ride On

(translated by DuckersP@cardiff.ac.uk)

Way down deep dark and funky
tie me, tie me to your bed
Ride on lady
I'm your monkey
yes the organ grinders gettin' wed, ride on.

Well the last dollar bill
bein' dragged from the sand
on another man's land
another man ridin'
on another man's dream

A full car on a boulevard
They may issue
I don't want to miss you
I put you on my list you
I put you on my list you

Way down deep dark and funky
tie me, tie me to your bed
Ride on lady
I'm your monkey
yes the organ grinders gettin' wed, ride on.

Well the last dollar bill
bein' dragged from the sand
on another man's land
another man ridin'
on another man's dream

Sittin' in the doorway, a beggar in the light
Lucky as the strike
It's allright
Just I caught yer playin with a light
I may issue
Don't wanna miss you

Caught in a brace you
I don't wanna miss you
I put you on my list you
I put you on my list you

A full car on a boulevard
I may issue
I don't wanna miss you
Callin' to bless you
I don't wanna miss you
I put you on my list you
I put you on my list you

Sally Cinnamon

Until Sally I was never happy
I needed so much more
Rain clouds, oh they used to chase me
Down they would pour
Join my tears
Allay my fears

Sent to me from heaven
Sally Cinnamon, you are my world

I pop pop pop blow blow bubble gum
You taste of Cherryade
There is something, hey, you must show me
From what you are made
Sugar and spice
And all things nice

Sent to me from heaven
Sally Cinnamon, you are my world

Your eyes are gazing back from
Every little piece of glass
You seem to smile from every place
Sally Cinnamon, you are my world

Then I put the letter back in
The place where it was found
It's a pocket in a jacket
On a train in town

Sent to her from heaven
Sally Cinnamon, your her world

She Bangs The Drums

I can feel the earth begin to move
I hear my needle hit the groove
And spiral through another day
I hear my song begin to say
Kiss me where the sun don't shine
The past was yours
But the future's mine
You're all out of time

I don't feel too steady on my feet
I feel hollow I feel weak
Passion fruit and holy bread
Fill my guts and ease my head
Through the early morning sun
I can see her here she comes
She bangs the drums

Have you seen her have you heard
The way she plays there are no words
To describe the way I feel

How could it ever come to pass
She'll be the first she'll be the last
To describe the way I feel
The way I feel

Have you seen her have you heard
The way she plays there are no words
To describe the way I feel

How could it ever come to pass
She'll be the first she'll be the last
To describe the way I feel
The way I feel

Have you seen her have you heard
The way she plays there are no words
To describe the way I feel

How could it ever come to pass
She'll be the first she'll be the last
To describe the way I feel
The way I feel

Shoot You Down

You know it
You show it
And the time has come
To shoot you down
What a sound
When the day is done
And it all works out

I'd love to do it and you know you've always had it coming

You know it
You show it
And the time has come
To shoot you down
What a sound
When the day is done
And it all works out

I'd love to do it and you know you've always had it coming

I never wanted
The love that you showed me
It started to choke me
And how I wish I'd said no, too slow
I couldn't take that too fast
I want you to know

You know it
You show it
But I can't back down
It's far too late
I can't wait
Now the time has come
It'll all work out
And when this thing is done
It'll leave no doubt
So when you've had your fun
Will you all walk out?

I'd love to do it and you know you've always had it coming
I'd love to do it and you know you've always had it coming
I'd love to do it and you know you've always had it coming

Ooh.....

Something's Burning

Don't count your chickens 'cuz they're never gonna hatch
You can't catch a monkey with a shotgun and a sack
'Cuz you're too dull, baby, you can't see the wood for the trees
'Cuz you're too slow, baby, you just couldn't get off your knees

Don't count your chickens 'cuz they're never gonna hatch
You can't catch a monkey with a shotgun and a sack
'Cuz you're too dull, baby, you can't see the wood for the trees
'Cuz you're too slow, baby, you just couldn't get off your knees

I can see the love and the hate in your eyes
Penny for the thoughts behind the disguise
What you gonna do and what you gonna say?
I'm not the only one believing there's an easier way

It doesn't pay to be sorry, you take me
It doesn't cost to be someone
I am the vine
And you are the branches

Don't knock a young man, you don't know what he'll get done
You can't kick and old man, see what he's become
You are far too lazy
You stick to your pillow with ease
'Cuz you're much too lazy, you just couldn't get off your knees

I can see the love and the hate in your eyes
Penny for the thoughts behind your disguise
What you gonna do and what you gonna say?
I'm not the only one believing there's an easier way

It doesn't pay to be sorry, you take me
It doesn't cost to be someone
I am the vine
And you are the branches

Don't count your chickens 'cuz they're never gonna hatch
You can't catch a monkey with a shotgun and a sack
'Cuz you're too dull, baby, you can't see the wood for the trees
'Cuz you're too slow, baby, you just couldn't get off your knees

I can see the love and the hate in your eyes
Penny for the thoughts behind your disguise
What you gonna do and what you gonna say?
I'm not the only one believing there's an easier way
Whatcha gonna do with the rest of your life
Penny for the thoughts behind your disguise...

Whatcha gonna do with the rest of your life
Penny for the thoughts behind your disguise
Whatcha gonna do with the rest of your life
Penny for the thoughts behind your disguise
Whatcha gonna do with the rest of your life
Penny for the thoughts behind your disguise

I am the vine
And you are the branches

(Song For My) Sugar Spun Sister

Her hair
Soft drifted snow
Death white
I'd like to know
Why she hates
All that she does
But she gives
it all that she's got

Until the sky turns green
The grass is several shades of blue
Every member of parliament trips on glue

Until the sky turns green
And the grass is several shades of blue
Every member of parliament trips on glue

It takes all these things and all that time
Till my sugar spun sister's happy
With this love of mine
It'll take all these things and oh much more

I've paid
For fifteen or more
But my guts
Can't take many more
My hands are stuck
To my jeans
And she knows she knows
What this must mean

She wakes up with the sun
She asked me what is all the fuss
As she gave me more than she thought she should
She wakes up with the sun
I think what have I done
As I gave her more than I thought I would, ohhh

At takes all these things and all that time
Till my sugar spun sister's happy
With this love of mine

Yeah yeah yeah
That candy floss girl
The sticky fingered boy
Oh that sister of mine
Yeah

Standing Here

I'm standing on a hilltop
A hundred miles from home
I can't see the light surrounds me
I want you to show me around

I'm standing here
I really don't think you could know that
I'm in heaven when you smile

I'm drifting through the city
I'm swinging from a tree
I can touch, but you can't feel me
You hear me as you speak

I'm standing here
I really don't think you could know that
I'm in heaven when you smile
And I'm everywhere
I really don't think you could know that
I'm in heaven when you smile
But I don't think you think like I do
No matter how how hard I try
I always thought I'd have the answer
Let me tell you what I've got

I'm looking through your window
I might just have the key
Over me my free-fall baby
You hear me as you speak

I'm standing here
I really don't think you could know that
I'm in heaven when you smile
I'm standing here
I really don't think you could know that
I'm in heaven when you smile

But I'm everywhere
I really don't think you could know that
I'm in heaven when you smile
But I don't think you think like I do
No matter how how hard I try
I always thought I'd have the answer
Let me tell you what I've got
Oh let it rot I made them stop

I could park the juggernaut in your mouth
And I could feel the hurricane when you shout
I should be safe forever in your arms
I should be safe forever in your arms

Who could park the juggernaut in your mouth?
And who could feel the hurricane when you shout?
I should be safe forever in your arms
I should be safe forever in your arms

The Sun Still Shines

She said the spring is in the air
And summer will blossom everywhere
But we're as dead, as dead as autumn's leaves
Oh let me warm you in the breeze

And the sun still shines
The sun still shines
Oh the sun, the sun keeps shining through
Behind everyone
And over me and you

And every time I try
You walk, walk away
And now I know the end
The end's here to stay
I'd like to lose myself
Inside of you
But God I know the things
We'd do

Yet the sun still shines
The sun still shines
Oh the sun, the sun keeps shining through
Behind everyone
And over me and you

To fall down the stairs
And cry at my door
How much does it hurt?
Can you sing the blues now?
I know I'd like to
You wear it like a shirt
shirt

The sun still shines
The sun still shines
la la la .......

Tears

Our love girl is going through changes
I don't know if I am alive, dead,
Dying or just a little jaded
Someone throw me a line
You know I need it, I need it bad

Lost in a maze of my own making
No way out that I can find
Send home your hard working jury
I'm going down this time
You better believe it, yes you had

So if you hear me crying or talking in my sleep
Don't be afraid it is just the hours that I keep
We gotta love to last for a million years
A love that could never fade through the tracks of your tears

All I can do is hope that you will see me fall
And do your best to smash my picture on your wall
Forgive me baby, absolve me my dear
I've seen the future in the tracks of your tears

I cast a shorter shadow with every passing day
No time to think I'm just fading away
Some kind of magic in all your hopes and fears
Shows me the future through the tracks of your tears

Tell Me

You can't tell me, you can't tell me
You can't tell me anything

I love only me, I love only me
I've got the answers to everything

There's only me, so suggest what I do
I am the garage flower

I don't need to stare, 'cause I know everywhere
And there's a place for me anywhere

Tell me, tell me
You tell me anything
You can't tell, you won't tell
Me anything, anything

I love only me, I love only me
I've got the answers to everything
I don't need to stare, 'cause I know everywhere
And there's a place for me anywhere

Tell me, tell me
You tell me anything
You can't tell, you won't tell
Me anything, anything

Tell me, tell me
You tell me anything
Tell me, tell me
You can't tell us anything

You can't tell, you won't tell
Me anything, anything

???

I am the garage flower
I am the garage flower

Ten Storey Love Song

When your heart is black and broken
And you need a helping hand
When you're so much in love
You don't know just how much you can stand

When your questions go unanswered
And the silence is killing you
Take my hand
Baby I'm your man
I've got loving enough for two

Ten storey love song
I built this thing for you oooh
Who can take you higher
Than twin peak mountain blue
Oh well I built this thing for you
And I love you true

There's no sure-fire set solutions
No shortcut through the trees
No breach in the wall that they put there to keep you from me
As you're lying awake in this darkness
This everlasting night
Someday soon - don't know where or when
You're gonna wake up and see the light

Ten storey love song
I built this thing for you oooh
Who can take you higher
Than twin peak mountain blue
Oh well I built this thing for you
And I love you true

Ten storey love song
I built this thing for you oooh
Who can take you higher
Than twin peak mountain blue
Oh well I built this thing for you
And I love you true

This Is The One

A girl consumed by fire
We all know her desire
From the plans that she has made
I have her on a promise
Immerse me in your splendor
All the plans that I have made

This is the one
This is the one
This is the one
This is the one
This is the one
She's waited for

This is the one
This is the one
This is the one
Oh this is the one
This is the one
She's waited for

I'd like to leave the country
For a month of Sundays
Burn the town where I was born
If only she'd believe me
Bellona Belladonna
Burn me out or bring me home

And this is the one
This is the one
This is the one
This is the one
This is the one
She's waited for

This is the one
This is the one

A merry goodbye //I'm really

Tightrope

You should have been an angel
It would have suited you
My gold leafed triptych angel
She knows just what to do
In the half light of morning
In our world between the sheets
I swear I saw her angel wing
My vision was complete

And I know I'll never want
Another lover my sweet
Can there be more in this world
Than the joy of just watching you sleep

I don't know just what to feel
Won't someone tell me my love's real

Are we etched in stone or
Just scratched in sand,
Waiting for the waves to come in and
Re-claim the land
Will the sun shine all sweetness and light
Burn us to a cinder
Our third stone satellite

I'm on a
Tightrope baby nine miles high
Striding through the clouds
On my ribbon in the sky
I'm on a tightrope baby,
One thing I've found,
I don't know how to stop but it's
A long long long long way down

She's all that ever mattered and
All that ever will
My cup, it runneth over
I'll never get my fill
The boats in the harbour
Slip from their chains
Head for new horisons,
Let's do the same

I'm on a tightrope baby nine miles high
Striding through the clouds
On my ribbon in the sky
I'm on a tightrope baby,
One thing I've found,
I don't know how to stop but it's a

Tightrope baby nine miles high a long long long long way down
Striding through the clouds
On my ribbon in the sky
I'm on a tightrope baby, a long long long long way down
One thing I've found,
I don't know how to stop but it's a
A long long long long way down

Tradjic Roundabout

Bitches, warlocks and foul children too
Martin Luther had nothing on you
He had a dream, you'll have a baby maybe
Will you cope? I don't know maybe.

You're CIA in novocaine
They screw you up 'cause your not all there
I see submission in a million eyes
Dreamweaving habits are still telling lies

Oh your not so gifted at all

Badgers basements all over the land
Yours striking pulses with half-notes in hand
You think you're rich just cause he drunk his ocean
I never known nobody pays for him

Ah your not so gifted at all
At all
Ah we're not so gifted at all
At all

Ah your not so gifted at all
At all
Ah we're not so gifted at all
At all

End of my day, nothin' but rage

Waterfall

Chimes sing Sunday morn
Today's the day she's sworn
To steal what she never could own
And race from this hole she calls home

Now you're at the wheel
Tell me how how does it feel
So good to have equalized
To lift up the lids of your eyes

As the miles they disappear
See land begin to clear
Free from the filth and the scum
This American satellite's won

She'll carry on through it all
She's a waterfall

She'll carry on through it all
She's a waterfall

See the steeple pine
The hills as old as time
Soon to be put to the test
To be whipped by the winds of the West

Stands on shifting sands
The scales held in her hands
The wind it just whips her and wails
And fills up her rickety sails

She'll carry on through it all
She's a waterfall

She'll carry on through it all
She's a waterfall

What The World Is Waiting For

Here comes the wise man
And there goes the fool
Can you see the burned out world that he's living in
I don't need to look for the rules

Here comes the donkey
Chained to a ten ton plough
He'll never make that hill in a million years
Whip crack, beat him down

He loves his brother
He'll sell him for a fistful of gold
But he needs a slave for his vision of the promised land
No i don't believe a word

Take me any way the wind blows
You'll never know just what you want to do
Or where you wanna go I think it's time
That you found what the world is waiting for
I think it's time to get real

Here comes the wise man
And there goes the fool
Can you see the burned out world that he's living in
I don't need to look for the rules

He loves his brother
He'll sell him for a fistful of gold
But he needs a slave for his vision of the promised land
No i don't believe a word

Take me any way the wind blows
You'll never know just what you want to do
Or where you wanna go I think it's time
That you found what the world is waiting for
I think it's time to get real

Anytime you want it, then it's there
All you gotta do is stop me
On the corner and ask
Say hey, you don't live today
Stop the world
Stop the world
I'm getting off
I'm getting off
Can't get enough
I'm getting off

Where Angels Play

Come with me to a place no eyes have ever seen
A million miles from here where no one's ever been
God-given grace and a holy heaven face
I'm on the edge of something shadowy
I'm coming through

"Ok, let's fly," she says, "this carpet's made for two"
This ugly little box, no place for me and you
Our carpet falls on a dew-fresh daffodil plain
Take a look around, there's something happening
All the colors fade

I don't want you now, bang bang bang gone
Ooh I don't need you now, the seeds are sown
Ooh bang bang pretty pretty, bang bang

I don't think so, no no
I don't think so, no no
Bang bang, bang bang

Out below the country rolls like a mighty boiling sea
The warm red sun gives up and sinks into the trees
But I'm no fool, I can't stand here betrayed
Take a look around there's something happening
All the colours fade

I don't want you now, bang bang bang gone
Ooh I don't need you now, the seeds are sown
Ooh bang bang pretty pretty, bang bang
I don't think so, no no
I don't think so, no no
Bang bang, bang bang

Your Star Will Shine

Your star will shine again one day
Through deep blue velvet skies
Shine for all the world to see
The universe in your eyes
When the storm outside is raging
And the dogs they howl your name
Lay down sleep and I'll kiss you
Your star will shine again

Hush my darling don't you cry
I'll stay by your side until morning
All through the night I'll watch the skies
Your distant sun
Will shine like the gun
Thats trained right between your Daddy's eyes
