D'You Know What I Mean ? Step off the train all alone at dawn Back into the hole where I was born The sun in the sky never raised an eye to me The blood on the trax must be mine The fool on the hill and I feel fine Don't look back cos you know what you might see Look into the wall of my minds eye I think I know, but don't know why The questions are the answers you might need Coming in a mess going out in style I ain't good looking but I'm someone's child No-one can give me the air that's mine to breathe I met my maker I made him cry And on my shoulder he asked me why - His people won't fly through the storm I said "Listen up man, they don't even know you're born" All my people right here right now D'You Know What I Mean ? All my people right here right now D'You Know What I Mean ? All my people right here right now D'You Know What I Mean ? Yeah, Yeah I don't really care for what you believe So open up your fist or you won't receive The thoughts and the words of everyman you'll need So get up off the floor and believe in life No-one's ever gonna ask you twice Get on the bus and bring it on home to me I met my maker I made him cry And on my shoulder he asked me why - His people won't fly through the storm I said "Listen up man, they don't even know you're born" All my people right here right now They Know What I Mean All my people right here right now They Know What I Mean All my people right here right now They Know What I Mean Yeah, Yeah All my people right here right now D'You Know What I Mean ? All my people right here right now D'You Know What I Mean ? All my people right here right now D'You Know What I Mean ? Yeah, Yeah Yeah, YeahMy Big Mouth Everybody knows... but no-one's saving nothing And It's a sound so very loud... that no-one can hear I got something in my shoe... it's keeping me from walking Down the long and winding road... back home to you (Bridge) And round this town you've ceased to be That's what you get for sleeping with the enemy Where angels fly you won't play So guess who's gonna take tle blame for... (Chorus) My big mouth, my big name Who'll put on my shoes while they're walking Slowly down the hall of fame ? Into my big mouth, you could fly a plane Who'll put on my shoes while they're walking Slowly down the hall of fame ? Slowly down the hall of fame ? I ain't never spoke to God And ain't never been to heaven But you assumed I knew the way Even though the map was given And as you look into the eyes Of a bloody cold assassin Only then you'll realise With who's life you have been messin'
Magic Pie An extra-ordinary guy Can never have an ordinary day He might live the long goodbye But that is not for me to say I dig his friend, I dig his shoes He is just a child with nothing to lose But his mind They are sleeping while they dream And then they want to be adored They who don't say what they mean Will live and die by their own sword I dig their friends, I dig their shoes They are like a child with nothing to lose In their minds, their minds (Bridge) But I'll have my way In my own time I'll have my say My star will shine (Chorus) Cos you see me I got my magic pie Think of me yeah that was me I was that passer by I've been and now I've gone There are but a thousand days preparing for a thousand years Many minds to educate the people who have disappeared D'you dig my friends ? D'you dig my shoes ? I am like a child whith nothing to lose but my mind My mind
Stand By Me Made a meal and threw it up on Sunday I've - Gotta lot of things to learn Said I would and I'll be leaving one day - Before my heart starts to burn (Bridge) So what's the matter with you ? Sing me something new... don't you know The cold and wind and rain don't know They only seem to come and go away Times are hard when things have got no meaning I've found a key upon on the floor Maybe you and I will not believe in the things we find Behind the door (Chorus) Stand By me - nobody knows the way it's gonna be Stand By me - nobody knows the way it's gonna be Stand By me - nobody knows the way it's gonna be If you're leaving will you take me with you I'm tired of talking on my phone There is one thing I can never give you My heart can never be your home
I Hope, I Think, I Know They're trying hard to put me in my place And that is why I gotta keep running The future's mine and it's no disgrace Cos in the end the past means nothing You tell me I'm free then you tie me down And from my chains I think it's a pity What did it cost you to wear my crown You don't like it so why don't you admit it (Bridge) D'you feel a little down today ? Bet you ain't got much to say ? You're gonna miss me when I'm not there And you know I don't care, you know I don't care (Chorus) As we beg steal and borrow Life is hit and miss and this I hope, I think, I know And if I ever hear the names you call If I stumble catch me when I fall Cos baby after all, you'll never forget my name
The Girl In The Dirty Shirt If I may be so bold could I just say something Come and make me my day The clouds around your soul don't gather there for nothing I can chase them all away Why do you need a reason for to fell happy Or shining for the rest of the world Give me just a smile and would you make it snappy Get your shit together girl (Bridge) You got a feeling lost inside It just won't let you go Life is sneaking up behind It just won't let you go No it just won't let you go Is what I'm trying to say... (Chorus) Is would you maybe, come dancing with me Cos to me it doesn't matter If your hopes and dreams are shattered Cos when you say something you make me believe In the girl who wears a dirty shirt She knows exactly what she's worth Knows exactly what she's worth to me ! That I can see, I can see If you ever find yourself inside a bubble You've gotta make your own way home You can call me anytime you're seeing double Now you know you're not alone
Fade In-Out Get on the rollercoaster The fair's in town today Y'gotta be bad-enough to beat the brave So get on the helter skelter Bowl into the fray Y'gotta be bad-enough to beat the brave (Chorus) You fade in-out You fade in-out Without a doubt I don't see no shine Today is just a daydream Tomorrow we'll be castaway Coming in-out of nowhere Singin' rhapsody Y'gotta be-bad enough to wanna be Sitting upside a high-chair With the devils refugee Is gonna be-blinded by the light That follows me She fade in-out She fade in-out Without a doubt I don't see no shine Today is just a daydream Tomorrow we'll be castaway
Don't Go Away A cold and frosty morning there's not a lot to say About the things caught in my mind As the day was dawning my plane flew away With all the things caught in my mind (Bridge) And I wanna be there when you're... Coming down And I wanna be there when you hit the ground (Chorus) So don't go away, say what you say But say that you'll stay Forever and a day... in the time of my life Cos I need more time, yes I need more time Just to make things right Damn my situation and the games I have to play With all the things caught in my mind Damn my education I can't find the the words to say About the things caught in my mind (Middle 8) Me and you what's going on ? All we seem to know is how to show The feeling's that are wrong
Be Here Now Wash your face in the morning sun Flash your pan at the song that I'm singing Touch down bass living on the run Make no sweat of the hole that you're digging Wrap up cold when it's warm outside Your shit jokes remind me of Digsy's Be my magic carpet ride Fly me down to capitol city in the sun (Chorus) Kickin' up a storm from the day that I was born Sing a song for me one from let it be Open up yer eyes, get a grip of yerself inside You betcha !
All Around The World It's a bit early in the midnight hour for me To go through all the things that I want to be I don't believe in everything I see Y'know I'm blind so why d'you disagree (Bridge) So take me away cos I just don't want to stay And the lies you make me say Are getting deeper everyday These are crazy days but they make me shine Time keeps rolling by (Chorus) All around the world, you've got to spread the world Tell them what you heard We're gonna make a better day All around the world, you've got to spread the world Tell them what you heard You know it's gonna be o.k. So what you gonna do when the walls come falling down ? You never move you never make a sound So where you gonna swim with the riches that you found ? If you're lost at sea I hope that you've drowned
It's Gettin' Better (Man!!) Say something shout it from the rooftops of your head Make it sort of mean something make me understand Or I'll forget The people here on the lifes beaches They wish upon the waves that hide the sand Let them know that life teaches you To build a castle in your hand (Bridge) Maybe the songs that we sing are wrong Maybe the dreams that we dream are gone So bring it on home and it won't be long It's gettin' better man ! (Chorus) Hey! What was that you said to me ? Just say the word and I'd be free ? And where the stars are shining bright It's gettin' better man ! And crashing in upon a wave It's calling out beyond the grave And we're the fire in the sky It's gettin' better man ! Build something build a better place and call it home Even if it means nothing you'll never-ever feel that you're alone
