BEAUTIFUL LOSERSLoose it all
Don’t loose your mind
The cracked paint on the ceiling
Laughter when you’re feeling
Really dead inside.
Gary comes with Marianne
Julie brought sin with his Susan
They say don’t hide
Muffle voice is on the T.V.
In your car, you see just tea leaves
Take a look inside
What do you see?
What do you see?
See, beautiful losers
Lovely, lovely losers
Just you and me
See, beautiful losers
Lovely, lovely losers
just you and me.
Sun shines through the window
That is cold just like an ice floe
Like you and me.
And we spit blood while we’re laughing
Leave all our lies for nothing
Just like the sea.
We’re moving while we’re dying
Laughing while we’re crying
Yeah, you and me.
And David cries for Caroline
And Julie she waste all her time
Just on shooting star
I just lie and meditate
Then I smash and curse and hate
The whole damned farse.
(cause we are)
Beautiful losers
Lovely, lovely losers
Just me and you
Beautiful losers
Darling, darling losers
My song is true.
RED LIGHTS
I love you
Six arms or tour
I hate the sound of that doorbell ring
But even though I know it probably won’t mean a thing
But still I check
If I could slip through the siding
They could well come back
Were I could jump fourteen feet
To the filthy court yard leading to the street
Red lights, red lights, red lights
they’ll bring me down, down, down
and white cars, white cars, white cars
they let me die
and you, sweet blue eyes
you make me hide a little frown.
I love you
So here I am in a forty foot cell
Well ain’t exactly heaven, but ain’t exactly living hell
Well my cell companions come from Naples,
Smell of body, play cards till two at night.
Who was insane the place of game that holds
The face, God of fright
Me I’m all right inside, but upside down
Red lights, red lights, red lights
they’ll bring me down, down, down
and white cars, white cars, white cars
they let down.
and you, sweet blue eyes
you make me hide a little frown.
What joke, what joke
What a situation, what a laugh
When the only thing I really miss is
My little rubber ducky in her bath
I’m eating, sleeping, I’m thinking
Behind the bars
I’m kind of safe in a cocoon
Where I’ll be some where dying was.
Red lights, red lights, red lights
they’ll bring me down, down, down
and white cars, white cars, white cars
they let down.
and you, sweet blue eyes
you make me hide a little frown.
I love you
EVERY DAY
Guess you better know it sometimes
Eighty·one days in a year, fifty-two weeks in a month
There' s no problems really they are all in your head unfortunately
there' s where you live
A glass of gin for here, one for there
And I'll puke up in the sink everyday my mind is never quite far away enough
Everyday I look out of the window and the sky is grey
Everyday is real feel so wrong shouldn't stay this way everyday, everyday
Every night I feel much better, I feel almost right
Every night there' s no much to think of
There's no much to fight about every night, everyday
Such nasty things tend to come my way
Another move but l' m always laughing
Everyday things don't seem to come my way
Everyday, everyday, etc. Every night
I feel so different, I feel right there' s something in my head,
There' s nothing in my bed
But everyday, these days are so much longer
What can I say
Everyday is long, is long, is longer than the day before
Every night when there' s no moon I like it better
Every night I feel like writing god a letter
Everyday, everyday
Don't feel uptight, you'll feel alright
Drink some coffee and stay up all night
Drink some more stay up all day drink some more stay up the next night
Don't you worry in the night I've sussed it out
RAINING IN LONDON
It’s been raining here in London
It’s been raining for so long
It’s been raining here in London
When I got bored and I wrote this song.
Well is sure something missing
Well is sure something wrong
It’s been raining here in London
But this old world spins on
People trying to keep living
People laughing and dancing
When they should cry.
It’s been raining here in London
But this old world still spins by
It’s still raining here in London
It’s still raining
The drops are falling heavy and slow
It’s still raining here in London
Through one day we all get drowned.
All right now
What do I need, what I need is
Someone to push me
Side out of this grove I’m in
A leather City yankee boy
lost in preadean storms and winds
Oh what a circle
That’s inside me
Dance is the situation and nothing moves
When you try to make it easy for somebody
But sure it can’t be you
When every damn day
You need something to make you feel renewed
And you might know where I’ve been
But you don’t know what I did
No, nothing changes
Well the warm colour “parazzi” of Rome
The cold hearted desperate pushers
Mi sunny Italy selling extra
Warmth in “piazzas”
The hustler is still smug
And nothing changes
The kiss of married bliss in the kitchen
It’s this the life and advertised
I really can not longer tell
If my emotions have been culturized
Three girls would know
And now let me go.
REGGAE BLUES
You know y love you
Even through you are a little girl
you know I really, really, really love you
even through you’re just a little girl
I know you couldn't love me from my money
Aint’ got in the world
You couldn't love me from my money
Ain’t got none in the world
Cause I’ve been skipping on the piping round
This so down town long
I’ve been moving, grooving, singing this kind of song
I’ve been skipping and flipping in the time, in the crime,
In the line, in the fright in all this town too long
The say I just do nothing
but I'm just moving along
they think I'm doing nothing
but I know I’m moving along
so come on baby
you’re more that a puddle to me
I said come on, come on,
Come on, come on baby
You’re more than just a puddle to me
I don't need nobody else
don't need no one to set me free
i don't need no body else
need no-one to set me free
BILLY
Billy was a good friend of mine
We grew up together ever since we were nine
We went to school, he was my best friend
And I thought our friendship would never end
In high school he played football
And me, I didn't do anything at all
He made touch-downs, while I played pool
And no one could figure out which one of us was the fool
Then we both went to college
He studied medicine while I studied foliage
He got a's and I got d's
He was going for his ph.d.
Then I decided to drop out
Things were getting a little too hot
Billy stayed there, became an intern and then a doctor
Then war broke out and he had to go
But not me, I was mentally unfit, or so they say, so, so
When he came back, he wasn't quite the same
His nerves were shot, but not me
Last time I saw him, I couldn't take it anymore
He wasn't the billy I knew, it was like talking to a door
Billy was a friend of mine
I grew up with him ever since I was nine
We went together through school
And now I often wonder, which one of us was the fool .
NICK'S SONG
Pushing away all the years that past watch all the people float by
Wait for the first to turn up last watch all the runners cry
You can watch me splitting at the seams don' t you worry
you’ll figure in my dreams
I’ll be sorry as you make me scream it' s all part of the scheme
Meeting you here in this dark red room feeling your twinkling eyes
While l' m still dreaming of the candle and the spoon
Who' s to care if you cry
When I took those trips on the district line watching the signs of the times
Dying inside while try to feel fine
While you read between the lines
You can find me playing at the moon
You can see me smashing up my room
Death is on it' s way.
It will never come too soon feeling the pressure that lies overhead
And pushing, And pressing me down
Watching the stars they wishing me dead
Why this sky wears a frown
Why is the earth so stony and cold
Is all life really this way?
I turn on the radio, the D.J. so bold but he’s got nothing to say
Look this way you might see me falling through
look this way you might see me dying too
With my eyes glued on you
All I’ve got left is to keep on shining through it's all part of the scheme
Pushing away the past years
Should evil ford by
Wait for the first to turn out last watching the runners cry
Watching the people i knew yesterday see there photos are fading
Watching the people running away
You can go watch me splitting at the seams
don' t you worry you'll figure in my dreams
I’ll be sorry as you make scream
it's all part of the scheme.
SOUL LOVE
Stone love - she kneels before the grave
A brave son - who gave his life to see the slogan
That hovers between the headstone and her eyes
For they penetrate her grieving
New love - a boy and girl they talking
New words - that only they can share in
New words - a love so strong it tears their hearts
To sleep - through the fleeting hours of morning
Love is careless in its choosing - sweeping over cross a baby
Love descends on those defenseless
Idiot love will spark the fusion
Inspirations have I none - just to touch the flaming dove
All I have is my love of love - and love is not loving
Soul love - the priest that tastes the word and
Told of love - and how my God on high is
All love - though reaching up my loneliness evolves
By the blindness that surrounds him
Love is careless in its choosing - sweeping over cross a baby
Love descends on those defenseless
Idiot love will spark the fusion
Inspirations have I none - just to touch the flaming dove
All I have is my love of love - and love is not living.
RUNNING AWAY
Running away from Scotland
In first year of the seventies
Fed up with orders and luke warm teams
Run away from Italy back in seventy-three
Fed up with coppers and the holy sea
Died in England in seventy-eight
Fed up with rain and the luke warm hate
Resurrected in Argentina in eighty·one
Killed all the parrots and stole the sun
I drifted to Nebibia in nineteen eighty-four
Kept three faithful wives and a gun by the door
Had a son by the second and a girl by the first.
Three got killed by south africans and two die of thirst
I found a girl i could love in the north of Kashmere.
She left me an old book and a big gleaming tear
Bought a gun in Japan and a boat in Dayang
Sailed the south china seas, split my head with a bang
I met a guy I could hate on the north side of' heaven
He said he had eight but I new he had seven
Where’s the first train baby I need a fast plane
Give me my running shoes.
SOLID AIR
You've been taking your time
And you've been living on solid air
You've been walking the line
And You've been living on solid air
Don't know what's going wrong inside
And I can tell you that it's hard to hide when you're living on
Solid air.
You've been painting it blue
And you've been looking through solid air
You've been seeing it through
And you've been looking through solid air
Don't know what's going wrong in your mind,
And I can tell you don't like what you find,
When you're moving through
Solid air.
I know you, I love you
And I could be your friend
I could follow you, anywhere
Even through solid air.
You've been stoning it cold
You've been living on solid air
You've been finding that gold
You've been living on solid air
I don't know what's going on inside
I can tell you that it's hard to hide
When you're living on
Solid air, solid air.
You've been getting too deep
You've been living on solid air
You've been missing your sleep
And you've been moving through solid air
I don't know what's going on in your mind
But I know you don't like what you find
When you're moving through
Solid air, solid air.
I know you, I love you
I'll be your friend
I could follow you, anywhere
Even through solid air.
You've been walking your line
You've been walking on solid air
You've been taking your time
But you've been walking on solid air
Don't know what's going wrong inside
But I can tell you that it's hard to hide
When you're living on
Solid air, solid air.
You've been painting it blue,
You've been living on solid air
You've been seeing it through
And you've been living on solid air
I don't know what's going on in your mind
But I can tell you don't like what you find
When your living on
Solid air, solid air.
I know you, I love you
And I'll be your friend
I could follow you, anywhere
Even through solid air.
