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
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 mind's eye
I think I know but I 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? Yeah Yeah
All my people right here right now
D'You know what I mean? Yeah Yeah
All my people right here right now
D'You know what I mean? Yeah Yeah
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 every man you'll need
So get up off the floor and believe in life
No-one's ever gonna ever 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
D'You know what I mean? Yeah Yeah
All my people right here right now
D'You know what I mean? Yeah Yeah
All my people right here right now

My Big Mouth
Everybody knows, but no-one's saying nothing
And was this song so very loud, that no-one can hear
I got something in my shoe, that's keeping me from walking
Down a long and windy road, back home to you
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 the blame for
My big mouth, and my big name
Who'll put on my shoes while I'm walking
Slowly down the hall of fame?
Into my big mouth, you could fly a plane
Who'll put on my shoes while I'm walking
Slowly down the hall of fame?
Slowly down the hall of fame?
I ain't ever spoke to god
And I 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
It's only then you'll realize
With who's life you have been messin'
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 the blame for
My big mouth, and my big name
Who'll put on my shoes while I'm walking
Slowly down the hall of fame?
Into my big mouth, you could fly a plane
Who'll put on my shoes while I'm walking
Slowly down the hall of fame?
Slowly down the hall of fame?
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 friends, I dig his shoes
He is just a child with nothing to lose
But his mind, his mind
They are sleeping while they dream
And then they want to be adored
Cos 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
But their minds, their minds
I'll have my way
In my own time
I'll have my say
My star will shine
Cos you see me I got my magic pie
Think of me yeah that was me I was that passer by
I'm runnin' 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 with nothing to lose
But my mind, yeah my mind
We'll have our way
In our own time
We'll have our say
Cos my star's gonna shine
Cos you see me I got my magic pie
Think of me yeah that was me I was that passer by
I'm runnin' now I've gone
Cos you see me I got my magic pie
Think of me yeah that was me I was that passer by
I'm runnin' now I've gone
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah

Stand by Me
Made a meal and threw it up on Sunday I've
Gotta lot of things to learn
I said I would and i'll be leaving one day
Before my heart starts to burn
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 the floor
Maybe you and I will not believe in
The things we find behind the door
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
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
Stand by me ... Nobody knows, yeah 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 will never be your home
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
Stand by me ... Nobody knows, the way it's
gonna be
Stand by me ... Nobody knows, the way it's gonna be

I Hope, I Think, I Know
They're trying hard to put me in my place
And that is why I've gotta keep running
The future's mine and it's no discrace
Cos in the end the best 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 me why don't you admit it
I feel a little down today
And I ain't got much to say
But you're gonna miss me when I'm not there
You know I don't care
You know I don't care
As we beg and steal and borrow
Life's a hit and miss and this
I hope, I think, I know
If I ever hear the names you call
And if I stumble catch me when I fall
Cos baby afterall, you'll never forget my name
You're trying hard to put me in my place
And that is why i've gotta keep running
The future's mine and it's your discrace
Cos in the end you're life means nothing
D'you feel a little down today
Bet you ain't got much to say
Who's gonna miss you when you're not there?
You know we don't care
You know we don't care
Cos as we beg and steal and borrow
Life's a hit and miss and this
I hope, I think, I know
If I ever hear the names you call
And if I stumble catch me when I fall
Cos baby afterall, you'll never forget my name
You'll never forget my name
As we beg and steal and borrow
Life's a hit and miss and this
I hope, I think, I know
If I ever hear the names you call
And if I stumble catch me when I fall
Cos baby afterall, you'll never forget my name
You'll never forget my name
You'll never forget my name
You'll never forget my name
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
But I can chase them all away
Why'd you need a reason for to feel 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
You've got a feeling lost inside it
Just won't let you go
You're 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
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 a girl who wears a dirty shirt
She knows exactly what she's worth
She 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
You've got a feeling lost inside it
Just won't let you go
You're 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
Is would you maybe, come dancing with me
Cos to me it doesn't matter
If your hopes and dreams are shattered
When you say something you make me believe
In a girl who wears a dirty shirt
She knows exactly what she's worth
Maybe she'll come dancing with me
Cos to me it doesn't matter if her hopes and dreams are
shattered
When she says something, she makes me believe
In a girl who wears a dirty shirt
She knows exactly what she's worth to me
She knows exactly what she's worth to me
She knows exactly what she's worth to me
She knows exactly what she's worth to me
She knows exactly what she's worth to me
And now I see
And now I see

Fade In-Out
Get on the rollercoaster
The fair's in town today
You gotta be bad enough to beat the brave
So get on the helter skelter
Bowl into the fray
You gotta be bad enough to beat the brave
You fade in-out
You fade in-out
Without a doubt
I don't no shine
Today is just a daydream
Tomorrow we'll be castaway
Coming in outta nowhere
Singin' rhapsody
You gotta be
Bad enough to wanna be
Sitting upside a high-chair
The devil's refugee
It's 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 she'll be castaway
We're fade in-out
We're fade in-out
Without a doubt
I don't see no shine
Today is just a daydream
Tomorrow we'll be castaway
So get on the rollercoaster
The fair's in town today
You gotta be bad enough to beat the brave
Get on the helter skelter
Bowl into the fray
You gotta be bad enough to beat the brave
You're fade in-out
You're fade in-out
You're fade in-out
You're fade in-out
You're fade in-out
You're fade in-out
You're fade in-out
You're fade in-out
Don't Go Away
A cold and frosty morning, there's not a
lot to say
About the things caught in my mind
And as the day was dawning, my plane flew away
With all the things caught in my mind
And I wanna be there when you're coming
down
And I wanna be there when you hit the ground
So don't go away
Say what you say
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 words to say
With all the things caught in my mind
And I wanna be there when you're coming
down
And I wanna be there when you hit the ground
So don't go away
Say what you say
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
Me and you what's going on?
All we seem to know is how to show
The feelings that are wrong
So don't go away
Say what you say
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
Yes I need more time just to make things right
Yes I need more time just to make things right
So don't go away
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
I make no sweat on 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 capital city in the sun
Kicking up a storm
From the day that I was born
Sing a song for me
One from let it be
Open up your eyes, get a grip on yourself inside
So wash your face in the morning sun
Flash your pan at the song that I'm singing
Touch down bass living on the run
I make no sweat on the hole that you're digging
Kicking up a storm
From the day that I was born
Sing a song for me
One from let it be
Open up your eyes, get a grip on yourself inside
Inside
Get a grip inside
Get a grip inside
So wrap up cold when it's warm outside
Please sit down you make me feel giddy

Fly me down to capital city in the sun
Be kicking up a storm
From the day that I was born
Sing a song for me
One from let it be
Open up your eyes, get a grip on yourself inside

It's Getting 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 life's beaches
They wish upon the waves that hide the sand
Let them know that life teaches
You to build a castle in your hand
Maybe the songs that we sing are wrong
Maybe the dreams that we dream are gone
Bring it on home and it won't be long
Oh Oh Oh It's getting better man!
Hey! What was that you said to me?
Just say the word and I'll be free?
And where the stars are shining bright
It's getting 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 getting 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
Cos maybe the songs that we sing are wrong
Maybe the dreams that we dream are gone
Bring it on home and it won't be long
Oh oh oh It's getting better man!
Hey! What was that you said to me?
Just say the word and I'll be free?
Yeah there's a fire in the sky
It's getting better man!
And crashing in upon a wave
It's calling out beyond the grave
And when the stars are shining bright
It's getting better man!
It's getting better man!
Hey! What was that you said to me?
Just say the word and I'll be free?
And when the fire's burning bright
I'm getting better man!
And crashing in upon a wave
It's calling out beyond the grave
And when the stars are in the sky
It's getting better man!
We're getting better man!
We're getting better man!
