First time, I did it for the hell of it
Stuck it on the back of my tongue
And then swallowed it
Second time, things are getting easier
Blow me down this wind is getting breezier
Third time lucky, made me feel fuzzy
Oh my God, we're getting hippy-dippy
Five, six, seven, man I'm in heaven
And I'm growing my beard
Before it gets sheared

You're on my mind
Every day and every night
And you'll never go away
Coz I know you're here to stay
For the rest of my mind (X2)

First time, I did it for the hell of it
Stuck it right up
And that was the end of it
Second time, things are getting easier
Hairs on the back of my neck are getting stickier
Third time unlucky, perversely bloody
Doctor I'm ill please pass me the brandy
Five, six, seven I heard George Foreman say:
Slow horses loose
Fast women frighten

You're on my mind
Every day and every night
And you'll never go away
Coz I know you're here to stay
For the rest of my mind (X2)

I just keep repeating myself (X6)

Aaaah yeah, coz you're on my mind
Every day and every night
And you'll never go away
Coz I know you're here to stay
For the rest of my mind
On my mind
Every day and every night
And you'll never go away
Coz I know you're here to stay
For the rest of my mind
On my mind
Every day and every night
And you'll never go away
Coz I know you're here to stay

Why?

When you fall asleep
Before the end of the day
You start to worry

Like when the taxi comes
To take you away
When you're in no hurry

Yet as our hair turns white
All the stars still shine
So bright, above

At least
It's not the end of the world

Why?.

We could live it large
Because we're only old once
Let's make a difference.

Turn all the hate in the world
Into a mocking bird
Make it fly away

Yet as our hair turns gray
Everything is far
From A. O.K


. . .



Born in a manger
You're getting stranger everyday
Uncertain chancer
You're sending everything astray
You're certain danger
You're a monsoon and a fire
All in one
Got me on the run

There's a distant light
(Distant light)
A forest fire burning everything in sight
(Easy fight)
We pick it up in space with survey satellite
(Survey satellite, looking at you)
You're turning every modern theory
On its head
(Survey satellite, looking at you)
Leaving me for dead

You're so demanding
You've got me fumbling for escape
I'm understanding
But I'm afraid it's all too late
To find a meaning
You're blowing everything away
From coast to coast
Got me much too close

There's a distant light
(Distant light)
A forest fire burning everything in sight
(Easy fight)
We pick it up in space with survey satellite
(Survey satellite, looking at you)
You're turning every modern theory
On its head
(Survey satellite, looking at you)
Leaving me for dead

Don't worry me, or hurry me
Blow me far away to the northern lights (X5)
Abandon me, abandon me
Blow me far away to the northern lights
You rain on me, you rain on me
Blow me far away to the northern lights
Abandon me, abandon me
Blow me far away to the northern lights
Don't worry me, or hurry me
Blow me far away to the northern lights
Don't worry me, or hurry me
Blow me far away to the northern lights
Don't worry me, or hurry me

It's easy when you know how
To get along without Biff! Bang! Pow!
And if I see that you're fed up,
I'll stop and give you a leg up.
Over priced unreal estate,
Surreal estate,
The highest price they've hit to date,
Creating new divides and tension.

You've got to tolerate,
All those people that you hate,
I'm not in love with you,
But I wont hold that against you,
You've got to tolerate,
Some of those people that you hate,
I'm not in love with you,
But I wont hold that against you.

This is a tale of 2 city/situations,
Mutual appreciation,
Away from narrow pre-conception,
Avoiding conflict hyper-tension,
Non-phobic word aerobic.
This was my domain,
Till someone stole my name.

You've got to tolerate ...etc.

Let's get juxtaposed, juxtaposed,

. . .



Move you
Buy and sell you
Terrorise you
Mass destruct you
Flaunt you
Disconnect you
Cluster fuck you
We will crush you
Rocks are slow life
Rocks are slow life
Rocks are slow life
Rocks are slow life
Rocks are slow life
Rocks are slow life
Rocks are slow life
Rocks are slow life

I see television
Pretty pictures
Of starvation
Icy cold fractures
I see fragments

Rocks are slow life
Rocks are slow life
Rocks are slow life
Rocks are slow life
Rocks are slow life
Rocks are slow life
Rocks are slow life
Rocks are slow life
Rocks are slow life
Rocks are slow life
Rocks are slow life

I've got a fire in my heart for you
I've got a fire in my heart for you
I've got a fire in my heart
'Though I'm falling apart
Still I've got a fire in my heart for you

I've got pins and needles for you
I've got pins and needles for you
You've got needles and pins
And the seven deadly sins
Still I've got a fire in my heart for you

I've a butterfly stomach for you
I've a butterfly stomach for you
And as the cars fly by
I just break down and cry
Still I've got a fire in my heart for you

Well the monkey puzzle tree
Has some questions
For the watchdogs of the profane
And I ask is it sad
That I'm driving myself mad
As this fire in my heart turns blue?


. . .



Spent some times in stormy weather
Under clouds of my dilemma
Now there's nothing much to do
But sit and rot in front of televisions
Staring back at me
I'm just waiting for the microwaves
To wash me into the sea

You know they don't give a fuck about anybody else (X4)
You know they

Out of focus ideology
Keep the masses from majority
Experts, brain washed, tumble dried
Left to bleed whilst vultures glide

You know they don't give a fuck about anybody else (X8)
You know they


. . .



Hermann loves Pauline and Pauline loves Hermann
They made love and gave birth to a little German
(Hermann loves Pauline and Pauline loves Hermann)
They call him MC? because he raps like no other
(Hermann loves Pauline and Pauline loves Hermann)
An asthma sufferer like Ernesto Guevara
(Hermann loves Pauline and Pauline loves Hermann)
Too much Monte Cristo Number Four
(Her and I believe)
Pass the ventolin I need some more
(There's so much more)

We have ways of making you think
(To do)
We have ways of making you think
(Than to be just a two point)
We have ways of making you think
(Four family)
We have ways of making you think
(Sanity)
We have ways of making you think
(Personality, ahaha)
They told me over a drink

They never noticed him at school they tell me
He kept himself to himself
He used to sit and stare up at the ceiling
Hermann loves Pauline

They never noticed him at school they tell me
He suffered poor health
He used to vacantly stare out the window
Feeling under?

Why do you do what they tell you?

Marie Curie was Polish born but French bred (French bread!)
Of course she ended up dead from radiation
Slow invisible suffocation
Down the twenty-four hour garage or any service station
I lead my life in a quest for information
Sensurrounded by pies and books
Middle-aged drivers and deranged cooks

They never noticed her at school they tell me
She kept herself to herself
She used to sit and stare up at the ceiling
Hermann loves Pauline

They never noticed her at school they tell me
She suffered poor health
She used to vacantly stare out the window
Feeling under?

Why do you do what they tell you?

They never noticed her at school they tell me
She kept herself to herself
She used to sit and stare up at the ceiling
Hermann loves Pauline

They never noticed him at school they tell me
He suffered poor health
He used to vacantly stare out the window

. . .



Dormant vices turned on their devices
Now she's raising money for the sex appeal
And when she grazed her knees upon the Astroturf
All her blood turned green as the TV screamed

Whatever you want to do, do it now and pay later
Whatever you want to say, say it now and pay later
Whatever you want to clean, wash it now and go later
Whatever you want to do, do it now and pay later

Coz it's no problem if you play it cool
Things are different if you act the fool

The electric mistress always sounds so bold
She says I'm free to do anything I'm told
I check the latest newsflash it's sensational!
I feel so seduced tell me to reproduce

Whatever you want to do, do it now and pay later
Whatever you want to say, say it now and pay later
Whatever you want to pray, pray it now and pay later
Whatever you want to do, do it now and pay later

Coz it's no problem if you play it cool
Things are different if you act the fool

Whatever you want to do, do it now and pay later
Whatever you want to say, say it now and pay later
Whatever you want to clean, wash it now and go later
Whatever you want to do, do it now and pay later

Coz it's no problem if you play it cool

She's got ice hockey hair
It's instamatic and it has such flair
And when the puck hits the back of the cage
She feels the tingle of a quiet rage

She thinks it's tasty
Me thinks it's hasty
Take me to a chorus now

Tell me what to do if it all falls through
Can you point me a direction I can take my shoes?
What did I do to you to make you feel so blue?
I get the impression that we're overdue
I got the lunar madness
And it's coming straight to you

Table tennis rules
They're so confusing it's not played by fools
And with my tank filled to the brim
You may suggest to me anything

Phone me, page me
Fax me 'til I'm silly
Answer me today

Tell me what to do if it all falls through
Can you point me a direction I can take my shoes?
What did I do to you to make you feel so blue?
I get the impression that we're overdue
You're my little terror
Oh won't you tell me something new?

Maybe you think I'm shady
But I sing your language baby
(Ba ba ba ba ba ba
Oooooh)

What did I do to you to make you feel so blue?
I get the impression that we're overdue (X2)
What did I do to you?

Now that you're here tell me you're a non-believer

. . .



I got you
You got me
We got plenty to see
Let's sail the ocean, fancy-free
We could ride the camel
One hump or two?

If we do or die
We should try
If we don't try
I say bye-bye
And if I say bye-bye
I'll wonder why
We didn't try
To do or die
Yeah yeah yeah

I am free
You are four
Let's take a five
We could climb a mountain and landslide
We ride tornadoes
We eat tomatoes

If we do or die
We should try
If we don't try
I say bye-bye
And if I say bye-bye
I'll wonder why
We didn't try
To do or die
Yeah yeah yeah

If we do or die
We should try
If we don't try
I say bye-bye
And if I say bye-bye
I'll wonder why
We didn't try
To do or die

And if we do or die
We should try
If we don't try
I say bye-bye
And if I say bye-bye
I'll wonder why
We didn't try
To do or die

You expose the film in me, we're drawing:
Rings around the World

Sooner or later we will melt together
And draw:
Rings around The World

With all those meteoric stones
And all those sheep they never clone

I am glowing radioactive
We draw
Beams around The World
Wish you could see us when we're at our best now:
We draw Rings around The World
With cans of Post Water in tow
We gonna vaporize your soul

Earth will become Saturn II
With all those Rings around The World
Tetsuo II became me and you
With all those rings around the World
And all those Body Hammer blows
We're drawing Rings around the world

[Telephone] :'Ring! Ring!'
[Human]'' Hello!'
[Telephone]:'Ring! Ring!'
[Human]:'Hello!'

I had a soul transplant operation
Coz my bypass didn't function
So now I'm keeping on my toes
'Til I see your one man show

Show me magic
Show me magic
Show me magic
Show me mad

Wouldn't it be nice to know
What the paper doesn't show
What the TV doesn't say
And what my hamster's ate today?

Show me magic
Show me magic
Show me magic
Show me mad

God! Show me magic
God! Show me magic
God! Show me magic
God! Show me mad

Show me magic
Show me magic
Show me magic

Fe gawsom ni ysbeidiau heulog
I must say that we had some sunny intervals
(Ysbeidiau heulog)
(Sunny intervals) (X2)

Ond ar y cyfan roedd hi'n dra cymlog
But on the whole it was rather cloudy
Ga i hyd yn oed awgrymu un-donog
Monotone not fine and dandy
Mewn cartre'llaith a dim gwres calonog
A damp proof home with no central heating

Ysbeidiau heulog
Sunny intervals (X4)

???????????? yr esgid yn gwasgu
We really felt our shoes were a'squeezing
(Esgidiau'n gwasgu)
(Our shoes were a'squeezing)
Fe deimlo'n ni esgusion yn tasgu
And at the time excuses were flying
(Esgusion, tasgu)
(Excuses were a'flying)

Ond ar y cyfan roedd y camau yn weigion
But on the whole our steps were empty
Y swigod coch yn llosgi fel gwreichion
The red blisters were burning a'plenty
Um cam ymlaen am ddwy aneffeithlon
One step forward for every two ineffectual

Ysbeidiau heulog
Sunny intervals (X4)

Heulog oedd ein oariad ni
Sunny was our love
Heulog tan ddaeth glaw yn lliff
Sunny 'til the skies opened up

Ysbeidiau heulog

. . .



Clarity just confuses me
The lines drawn on a map
A strange assembly

When there's northerners in southerners
And westenders in eastenders
And sunny days in January
Left spaces in my diary

But the demons never need to know
What the demons never got to see
As we fall in and out of line
Stay in touch now for a while
Because the demons never need to know
What the demons never got to see
As we fall in and out of line
Stay in touch now for a while

Coz I know that
Apathy only ruined me
Hanging around waiting for calamity

And by the year four million
Our skins will be vermilion
I own a dartboard memory
So I'll forget any felony

But the demons never need to know
What the demons never got to see
As we fall in and out of line
Stay in touch now for a while
But the demons never need to know
What the demons never got to see
As we fall in and out of line
Stay in touch now for a while

Coz I know that you know that we know they don't know what's going on

And the demons never need to know
What the demons never got to see
As we fall in and out of line
Stay in touch now for a while
But the demons never need to know
What the demons never got to see
As we fall in and out of line
Stay in touch now for a while

But the demons never need to read
What we never got around to write
A flirt with mediocrity
Comes with a heavy penalty
But the demons never need to read
What we never got around to write
A flirt with mediocrity
Comes with a heavy penalty

Hey said the devil
When I met you at the roundabout
She's got powers
Magnetic devours you of everything you've got

She's a golden retriever
Retrieves your oldest coin
Leads you blindly down every dark alley
Then she'll bleed you dry

Stop! Said the puppy
When I met him at the zebra cross
She said "You need protection
From every direction
But she'll get you anyhow"

She's a golden retriever
Retrieves your oldest coin
Leads you blindly down every dark alley
Then she'll bleed you dry

She's a golden retriever
She's a golden retriever
Golden retriever
Golden retriever
Golden retriever
Golden retriever

Golden retriever
Golden retriever
Golden retriever

. . .



It's not where you're from
It's not where you're at
It's not where you've been
It's where you're between
It's not what you've been
It's not what you've seen
It's where you're between
It's not what you've seen
It's where you're between

La la la la x5
Ooh! Ooh! Ooh!
La la la la
Ooh! Ooh! Ooh!

From A to Bee
Then onto Cee
Don't stop the journey
'Til you get to Zee
'Til you get to Zee
There's nothing to see
Don't stop the journey
There's nothing to see
Don't stop the journey

Every time I look around me everything seems so stationary
It just sends me the impulse to become reactionary
Spell it out, rip it up, rearrange it, on the contrary
If I scream it I mean it, I hope you will understand me
Wooh!


. . .



(So hard to say goodbye
Meaning it today
I've said goodbye before
Leaving you alone
By the sea
So hard to say goodbye)

Hello sunshine
Come into my life (X2)

In honesty it's been a while
Since we had reason left to smile
Hello sunshine
Come into my life

I'm a minger
You're a minger too
So come on minger
I want to ming with you

In honesty it's been a while
Since we had reason left to smile
Hello sunshine
Come into my life

You're not so innocent
You're a disgrace to your country
If you fled a million miles
I'd chase you for a day
(If I could be bothered)

Hello sunshine (X5)

. . .



I was lost
Lost on the bypass road
Could be worse
I could be turned to toad
Won't you take me back to my hometown?
Take me back before I break down

I say you please return me
Will you ever return me?
Will you ever return me?
Just like Frankie Fontaine (X2)

I wonder what can I do?

I was found
Riding a unicorn
Could be worse
I could be backwards born
Won't you take me back to my hometown?
Take me back before I break down

Will you ever return me?
Will you ever return me?
Will you ever return me?
Just like Frankie Fontaine

I say you please return me
Will you ever return me?
Will you ever return me?
Just like Frankie Fontaine

I wonder what can I do?

Calm down and then leave me alone (X4)

I say you please return me
Will you ever return me?
Will you ever return me?
Just like Frankie Fontaine (X2)


. . .



If you don't want me to destroy you
Take a leaf out of my book:
Turn it 'round and have a look

Because I don't want you to destroy me
I'll commit myself to be
In and out of every tree

Gravity
You just hold me down so quietly
You just hold me back

When the insects fly all around you
Do you reach and aim a hit?
Or do you lie around a bit?

And when the animals gather 'round you
Do you ask them for the time?
Or do you run away and whine?

Gravity
You just hold me down so quietly
You just hold me back

Gravity
You just hold me down so quietly
You just pull me down to Earth

Let me go into the depths of your infinity
I can sense your presence in the vicinity


. . .



O blerwytindod?
Where do you come from?
I blerwytinmyned?
Where are you going?
Blerwytirhwng?
Where are you between?
Rhwng ddau begwn
Between two extremes
Rhwng ddau begwn
Between two extremes

Mae'r llwybrau yn drwm
The paths are heavy
Mae barrug yn beryg
The hoarfrost is dangerous
Blerydwirhwng?
Where are you between?
Rhwng ddau begwn
Between two extremes
Rhwng ddau begwn
Between two extremes

Dwi'n ddu o caethiwo
I'm black of slavery
Mi grashwn i yma
I'll crash here
Rhwng ddau begwn
Between two extremes
Blerwytirhyngddo?
Where am I between?
Rhwng ddau begwn
Between two extremes

A phan daw troead y rh?
And when the wheel turns
Fyddai'n nofio yn yr awyr eto
I'll be swimming in the sky again
A phan daw troead y rh?
And when the wheel turns
Daw y tylwyth teg i ddawnsio eto
The fairies will come to dance again
