Be Here Now

 




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, Yeah 



My 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
