| Shout Shout, shout, let it all out. These are things I can do without, come on, I'm talking to you, come on. Shout, shout, let it all out. These are things I can do without, come on, I'm talking to you, come on. In violent times, you shouldn't have to sell your soul. In black and white, they really, really ought to know. Those one track minds that took you for a working boy, kiss them goodbye you shouldn't have to jump for joy, you shouldn't have to jump for joy. Shout, shout, let it all out. These are things I can do without, come on, I'm talking to you, come on. Shout, shout, let it all out. These are things I can do without, come on, I'm talking to you, come on. They gave you life, and in return you gave them hell. As cold as ice, I hope we live to tell the tale, I hope we live to tell the tale. Shout, shout, let it all out. These are things I can do without, come on, I'm talking to you, come on. Shout, shout, let it all out. These are things I can do without, come on, I'm talking to you, come on. And when you've taken down your guard, if I could change your mind, I'd really love to break your heart, I'd really love to break your heart. Shout, shout, let it all out. These are things I can do without, come on, I'm talking to you, come on. Shout, shout, let it all out. These are things I can do without, come on, I'm talking to you, come on... Everybody Wants To Rule The World Welcome to your life, there's no turning back. Even while sleep we will find you acting on your best behavior, turn your back on mother nature, everybody wants to rule the world. It's my own design, it's my own remorse. Help me to decide, help make the most of freedom and of pleasure, nothing ever lasts forever everybody wants to rule the... There's a room where the light won't find you, holding hands while the walls come tumbling down. When they do, I'll be right behind you. So glad we've almost made it, so sad they had fade it, everybody wants to rule the world. I can't stand this indecision married with a lack of vision, everybody wants to rule the... Say that you'll never, never, never need it, one headline, why believe it? Everybody wants to rule the world. All for freedom and for pleasure, nothing ever lasts forever, everybody wants to rule the world. Head Over Heels I wanted to be with you alone and talk about the weather. But traditions I can trace against the child in your face won't escape my attention. You keep your distance with a system of touch and gentle persuasion. I'm lost in admiration, could I need you this much? Oh, you're wasting my time, you're just, just, just wasting time. Something happens and I'm head over heels, I never find out till I'm head over heels. Something happens and I'm head over heels, ah don't take my heart, don't break my heart, don't, don't, don't throw it away, throw it away, throw it away. I made a fire and watching it burn, I thought of your future. With one foot in the past, now, just how long will it last? Now, now, now, have you no ambition? My mother and my brothers used to breathe in clean in air and dreaming I'm a doctor. It's hard to be a man when there's a gun in your hand, oh, I feel so... Something happens and I'm head over heels, I never find out till I'm head over heels. Something happens and I'm head over heels, ah don't take my heart, don't break my heart, don't, don't, don't throw it away. And this my four leaf clover. I'm on the line, one open mind, this is my four leaf clover. In my mind's eye, one little boy, one little man, funny how time flies. Woman In Chains You better love loving and you better behave. You better love loving and you better behave. Woman in chains, woman in chains. Calls her man the Great White Hope, says she's fine, she'll always cope. Woman in chains, woman in chains. Well, I feel lying and waiting is a poor man's deal. And I feel hopelessly weighed down by your eyes of steel. It's a world gone crazy, keeps woman in chains. Woman in chains, woman in chains. Trades her soul as skin and bones, sells the only thing she owns. Woman in chains, woman in chains. Men of stone, men of stone. Well, I feel deep in your heart there are wounds time can't heals. And I feel somebody somewhere is trying to breathe, well, you know what I mean. It's a world gone crazy, keeps woman in chains. It's under my skin but out of my hands, I'll tear it apart but I won't understand, I will not accept the greatness of man. It's a world gone crazy, keeps woman in chains, gone crazy, keeps woman in chains. So free her, so free her... Sowing the Seeds of Love High time we made a stand and shook up the views of the common man and the love train rides from coast to coast, D.J.'s the man we love the most. Could you be, could you be squeaky clean and smash any hope of democracy? As the headline says you're free to choose, there's egg on your face and mud on your shoes, one of these days they're gonna call it the blues and anything is possible when you're sowing the seeds of love, the seeds of love, sowing the seeds. Anything is possible, sowing the seeds of love, the seeds of love, sowing the seeds. I spy tears in their eyes, they look to the skies for some kind of divine intervention, food goes to waste, so nice to eat, so nice to taste. Politician Grannie with your high ideals, have you no idea how the majority feels? So without love and a promised land, we're fools to the rules of a government plan, kick out the style, bring back the jam. Anything is possible, sowing the seeds of love, the seeds of love, sowing the seeds. Anything is possible, sowing the seeds of love, the seeds of love, sowing the seeds, the birds and the bees, my girlfriend and me in love. Feel the pain, talk about it. If you're a worried man, then shout about it. Open hearts, feel about it. Open minds, think about it. Everyone, read about it. Everyone, scream about it. Everyone, everyone, read about it, read about it. Read in the books in the crannies and the nooks there are books to read. Mr. England sowing the seeds of love, the seeds of love, sowing the seeds. Time to eat all your words, swallow your pride, open your eyes. Time to eat all your words, swallow your pride, open your eyes. High time we made a stand and shook up the views of the common man and the love train rides from coast to coast, every minute of every hour, "I Love a Sunflower" and I believe in love power, love power, love power. Sowing the seeds of love, the seeds of love, sowing the seeds. Sowing the seeds of love, the seeds of love, sowing the seeds. Sowing the seeds of love, the seeds of love, sowing the seeds, an end to need and the politics of greed with love...

Break It Down Again Break it down again. So those are my dreams and these are my eyes, stand tall like a man, head a strong like a horse. When it's all mixed up, better break it down. In the world of secrets, in the world of sound. It's in the way you're always hiding from the light, see for yourself you have been sitting on a time bomb. No revolution maybe someone somewhere else could show you something new about you and your inner song. And all the love, and all the love in the world won't stop the rain from falling, waste seeping underground, break it down again, I want to break it down, break it down again. Break it down again. So these are my schemes and these are my plans, hot tips for the boys, fresh news from the force. When it's all mixed up, better break it down. In the world of silence, in the world of sound. "No sleep for dreaming," say the architects of life, big bouncing babies, bread and butter, can I have a slice? They make no mention of the beauty of decay, blue, yellow, pink umbrella save it for a rainy day. And all the love, and all the love in the world won't stop the rain from falling, waste seeping underground, break it down again, I want to break it down, break it down again. Horsing around, pray to power, play to the crowd with your big hit sound and they won't simmer, won't simmer, won't simmer down. Play to the crowd, play to the crowd, play... It's in the way you're always hiding from the light, fast off to heaven just like Moses on a motorbike. No revolution maybe someone somewhere else could show you something new to help you with the ups and downs, break it down again, I want to break it down, break it down again, break it down, here we go. Break it down again, no more sleepy dreaming. No more building up, it is time to dissolve. Break it down it again, no more sleepy dreaming. Everybody Loves A Happy Ending Toe the line, toe the line... Wake up, your time is nearly over, no more the supernova and no action guaranteed.

And all your love will shine on everyone. The darkness of the day, a curse in every way. You try to see the light, but you don't know why, don't know why. They tell you on the phone to give your God a bone and grow a set of wings like a butterfly. The guardian at the gate reminds you that you're late. You try to take your time but you toe the line, toe the line. The children of the world and daddy's little girl, The grass is always green on the other side, so stay and breathe new lies. Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up. Wake up, wake up, everything is moving faster than you think. Wake up, wake up, your pen is running out of ink.

I wouldn't mind but she just turned up on the doorstep wishful in ashes, slightly bedraggled. Last time I saw her she was howling at the moon, roaming the forest, leap pine and rabbits. Oh, is she wild? Does she see my inner child? But then she knows it's like a curse to find the chosen roles reversed, to unify my universe, to call me mellow. If only I was half my age and she was older, we'd live on ice cream on Coney Island. I know it's gravity that drags down my balloon, she stays in orbit way after midnight. Oh, slip and slide. Does she go on to the eye? But then she knows it's like a curse to find the chosen roles reversed, to unify my universe, to call me mellow. She'll dress down for us, she'll break new grounds for us, watching me cracking up. She'll hang around fellows with all the groundswellers, driving me like a truck. But then she knows it's like a curse to find the chosen roles reversed, to unify my universe, to call me mellow. Size Of Sorrow Bathe in another man's grave, in time we'll follow.

Well, the high wire is a dangerous game but a hard act to follow. If I fly high like a moth to a flame, would your eyes be the size of sorrow? Well, the high wire is a dangerous game but a hard act to follow. If I fly high like a moth to a flame, would your eyes be the size of sorrow? Who Killed Tangerine? Whatcha gonna choose, the poison or the lie? Lived with crazy paving in all your life. Something in your mind just tells you no, hoping conversation starts to flow. Stuck inside a wheel, inside a wheel, wondering everyday, is it all for real? Blinking every time a cold wind blows, our love don't feel, a mile it rose. Whatcha gonna do when the old man reads you dry? Step down from the plane and pluck the eye? Slide in deeper, closer to the bone, don't you just wish your heart was made of stone? Waxing like an old cracked 45, counting out the ways you could stay alive. Placing all the banks and feel the stones, my love won't leave her waves of foam. And when you think it's all over, it's not over, it's not over. And when you think it's all over, it's not over, it's not over. And when you think it's all over, it's not over, it's not over.

Oh, look into her eyes, you'll see such silence calling, nothing seems to matter in this life. Wake up, your Majesty, there are thieves in the temple picking the sunspots out of the sun. Looking for symmetry in man, another dead Beatle, down through the path we see how they run. It's your life, don't just collide with the waves. Oh, look into her eyes, you'll see such silence calling, nothing seems to matter in this life. Oh so many reasons why you hear the silence calling, nothing seems to matter in this life. Oh, salvation, shine a light on a different world and carry out thoughts on golden rays. Oh, look into her eyes, you'll see such silence calling, nothing seems to matter in this life. Oh so many reasons why you hear the silence calling, nothing seems to matter in this life. Who You Are Someone's drinking all alone, someone's left the TV on, I don't suppose, no I don't suppose. Someone's sleeping in my bed, someone's let the genie in, I don't suppose, no I don't suppose you know who you are, who you are, who you are today. Baby's gone and died again, taken by the tide again and it's no surprise, she hates goodbyes.

Ladybird Tell me a story of mind over matter, the hope and glory of life ever after, the sound and the fury the cloak and the dagger, days when we sink like a stone. Porcelain portraits and silver medallions, plasticine soldiers that march in battalions, angels of mercy and lifelong companions, days when we sink like a stone. There's a room somewhere with a different look where your secret life is an open book, where the love we made was a chance we took, days when we sink like a stone. Ladybird, fly away, our friends are gone. Ladybird, fly away, our house is on fire. Let us be lovers, we'll melt after midnight, hoist up the mainsail, we'll coast through the daylight. Twisted like candles that fade in the half-light, days when we sink like a stone.

Last Days On Earth Tired of this elegant life, with the best will in the world, it's a thorn in your side. Dazed, not a little confused, let the patient do the work, they got nothing to lose. I told you I'd hold you till the last days on earth. Ties that are tested and tried like the crushing of the waves, we'll be lost in the tide. Talk away the pain for the very last time like an echo in a cave, let it die in your mind. I told you I'd hold you till the last days on earth. If you should fall into these opened arms, you would be blessed, not just bemused. Wake up their mind, love is a lonely world where nothing on earth lies like a truth. Ties that are tested and tried like the crushing of the waves, we'll be lost in the tide. Talk away the pain for the very last time like an echo in a cave, let it die in your mind. I told you I'd hold you till the last days on earth. |
