ELEPHANT STONE
Burst into heaven
Kissing the cotton clouds
Arctic sheets and fields of wheat
I can't stop coming down
Your shrunken head
Looking down on me above
Send me home like an elephant stone
To smash my dream of love
Dreaming 'til the sun goes down
And night turns into day
Rooms are empty, I've got plenty
You could move in right away
Seems like there's a hole
In my dreams
In my dreams
In my dreams
Down through the heavens
Choke on the cotton clouds
Arctic sheets and fields of wheat
I can't stop coming down
Your shrunken head
Looking down on me above
Send me home like an elephant stone
To smash my dream of love
Did your bed and bookshelf go
And run run run away?
These four walls saw the rise and fall
And your midnight getaway
Seems like there's a hole
In my dreams
Or so it seems
Yet nothing means
Anything
Anymore
THE HARDEST THING IN THE WORLD
The hardest thing in the world
Holland fades, it don't please
I never wanted to leave
Searching for a perfect day
It never happens that way
A-hey hey hey
I'm sick inside
It's so obscene
Won't heaven help me be clean?
Searching for a perfect day
It never happens that way
A-hey hey hey
Cut away, I know your world wants you around
You never heard a word I said
It's sounded simple to me
That if you knew you wouldn't say
It never happens that way
A-hey hey hey
And the impression I get
As the story unfurls
Is that you're the hardest thing in the world
Cut away, I know your world wants you around
What you feel might not be
It seems so far to me
I cannot climb to touch your spire
I'm getting higher and higher
Cut away, I know your world wants you around
The hardest thing in the world
GOING DOWN
Dawn sings in the garden
Phone sings in the hall
This boy's dead from two day's life
Resurrected by the call
Penny here, we've got to come
So come on round to me
There's so much penny lying here
To touch, taste and tease
Ring a ding ding ding I'm going down
I'm coming round
Penny's place her crummy room
Her dansette crackles to Jimi's tune
I don't care I taste Ambre Solaire
Her neck her thighs her lips her hair
Ring a ding ding ding I'm going down
I'm coming round
All thoughts of sleep desert me
There is no time
Thirty minutes brings me round to her number nine
Yeah she looks like a painting
Jackson Pollock's Number Five
Come into the forest and taste the trees
The sun starts shining and I'm hard to please
Ring a ding ding ding I'm going down
I'm coming round
All thoughts of sleep desert me
There is no time
Thirty minutes brings me round to her number nine
To look down on the clouds
You don't need to fly
I've never flown in a plane
I'll live until I die
MERSEY PARADISE
River splashes against the locks
And I scale the slope
And hope the tracks won't
Lead me down to dark black pits or
Places where we fall to bits
If she were there I'd hold her down
I'd push her under while she drowns
And couldn't breathe and claw for air
She doesn't care for my despair
Or is it me?
The one that's wrong? (one that's wrong?)
You see in this heat
River cools where I belong
In my Mersey paradise
As I stare an oil can comes
Sailing by and I feel like
Growing fins and falling in
With the bricks the bikes the rusty tins
I swim along without a care
I'm eating sand when I need air
You can bet your life I'll meet a pike who'll
Wolf me down for tea tonight
I want to be (I want to be)
Where the drownings are (drownings are)
You see in this heat
River cool's where I belong
In my Mersey paradise
I want to be (I want to be)
Where the drownings are (drownings are)
You see it in the sea
River cool's where I belong
Oh yeah
I want to be (I want to be)
Where the drownings are (drownings are)
You see it in the sea
River cool's where I belong
In my Mersey paradise
STANDING HERE
I'm standing on a hilltop
A hundred miles from home
I can see the light surrounds me
I want you to show me round
I'm standing here
I really don't think you could know
That I'm in heaven when you smile
I'm drifting through the city
I'm swinging from a tree
I can touch but you can't feel me
You hear me as you sleep
I'm standing here
I really don't think you could know
That I'm in heaven when you smile
And I'm everywhere
I really don't think you could know
That I'm in heaven when you smile
But I don't think you think like I do
No matter how, how hard I try
I always thought I'd have the answer
Let me tell you what I've got
Oh let it rot, I made them stop
I'm looking through your window
I might just have the key
Over me my free-fall baby
You hear me as you speak
I'm standing here
I really don't think you could know
That I'm in heaven when you smile
I'm standing here
I really don't think you could know
That I'm in heaven when you smile
But I'm everywhere
I really don't think you could know
That I'm in heaven when you smile
But I don't think you think like I do
No matter how how hard I try
I always thought I had the answers
Let me tell you what I've got
Oh let it rot, I made them stop
I could park a juggernaut in your mouth
And I can feel a hurricane when you shout
I should be safe forever in your arms
I should be safe forever in your arms
I could park a juggernaut in your mouth?
And I can feel a hurricane when you shout
I should be safe forever in your arms
I should be safe forever in your arms
WHERE ANGELS PLAY
Come with me to a place no eyes have ever
seen
A million miles from here where no one's ever been
God-given grace and a holy heaven face
I'm on the edge of something shattering
I'm coming through
Ok let's fly she says 'this carpet's made
for two'
This ugly little box no place for me and you
Our carpet falls on a dew-fresh dappled plain
Take a look around there's something happening
All the colors fade
I don't want you now
Bang bang bang gone
Ooh I don't need you now
The seeds are sown
Ooh bang bang pretty pretty bang bang
I don't think so no no
I don't think so no no
Bang bang
SIMONE
Remix instrumental de WHERE ANGELS PLAY.
FOOLS GOLD
The gold road's sure a long road
Winds on through the hills for fifteen days
The pack on my back is aching
The straps seem to cut me like a knife
The gold road's sure a long road
Winds on through the hills for fifteen days
The pack on my back is aching
The straps seem to cut me like a knife
I'm no clown I won't back down
I don't need you to tell me what's going down
Down down down down da down down down
Down down down down da down down down
I'm standing alone
I'm watching you all
I'm seeing you sinking
I'm standing alone
You're weighing the gold
I'm watching you sinking
Fool's gold
These boots were made for walking
The Marquis de Sade don't wear no boots like these
Gold's just around the corner
Breakdown's coming up round the bend
Sometimes you have to try to get along dear
I know the truth and I know what you're thinking
Down down down down da down down down
I'm standing alone
I'm watching you all
I'm seeing you sinking
I'm standing alone
You're weighing the gold
I'm watching you sinking
Fool's gold
Fool's gold
I'm standing alone
I'm watching you all
I'm seeing you sinking
I'm standing alone
You're weighing the gold
I'm watching you sinking
Fool's gold
WHAT THE WORLD IS WAITING FOR
Here comes the wise man
And there goes the fool
You see that burnt out world that he is living in
I don't need to look for the rules
Here comes the donkey
Chained to a ten ton plough
He'll never make that hill in a million years
Whip crack beating down
He loves his brother but he'd sell him for
a fistful of gold
He needs a slave for his vision of the promised land
No I don't believe a word
Take me any way the wind blows
You'll never know just what you want to do
Or where you wanna go i think it's time
That you found what the world is waiting for
I think it's time to get real
Here comes the wise man
And there goes the fool
You see that burnt out world that he is living in
I don't need to look for the rules
Here comes the donkey
Chained to a ten ton plough
He'll never make that hill in a million years
Whip crack beating down
Anytime you want it then it's there
All you gotta do is stop it
On the corner and ask
Say hey you don't live today
Stop the world
Stop the world
I'm getting off
I'm getting off
Can't get enough
I'm getting off
ONE LOVE
Any time you want me
Any time at all
Any time you need me
All you gotta do is call
Any time you want me
Any time at all
Any time you need me
All you gotta do is call
I'm no dog I'm a dolphin
I just don't live in the sea
You feel my flow and you flood my brain
Show me your vision, your wild apparition
And sink to the depths of your soul
One love we don't need another love
One love, one heart and one soul
You can have it all
Easy peasy ooh
Any time you want me
Any time at all
Any time you need me
All you gotta do is call
You put me one step clear of the chain gang
And two miles over the line
All the scenes I saw left me wanting more
Show me your vision, you wild apparition
And sink to the depths of your soul
One love we don't need another love
One love one heart and one soul
Your fruit's in season
And these feet fall surely sound
And what goes up must come down
Turns into dust or turns into stone
SOMETHING BURNING
Drums, bass and lead guitar parts are tape
reversed from ONE LOVE.
Don't count your chickens
'Cos they're never gonna hatch
You can't catch a monkey with a shotgun and a sack
'Cos you're too dumb baby
You can't see the wood for the trees
Yes you're too slow baby
You just couldn't get off your knees
Don't count your chickens
'Cos they're never gonna hatch
You can't catch a monkey with a shotgun and a sack
'Cos you're too dumb baby
You can't see the wood for the trees
Yes you're too slow baby
You just couldn't get off your knees
I can see the love and the hate in your eyes
Penny for the thoughts behind your disguise
What you gonna do and what you gonna say?
I'm not the only one believing there's an easier way
It doesn't pay to disorientate me
It doesn't cost to be someone
I am the vine
And you're the branches
Don't knock a young man
You don't know what he'll get done
You can't kick and old man, see what he's become
You were far too lazy
You stick to your pillow with ease
Yes you're much too lazy
You just couldn't get off your knees
I can see the love and the hate in your eyes
Penny for the thoughts behind your disguise
What you gonna do and what you gonna say?
I'm not the only one believing there's an easier way
It doesn't pay to disorientate me
It doesn't cost to be someone
I am the vine
And you're the branches
Don't count your chickens
'Cos they're never gonna hatch
You can't catch a monkey with a shotgun and a sack
'Cos you're too dumb baby
You can't see the wood for the trees
Yes you're too slow baby
You just couldn't get off your knees
I can see the love and the hate in your eyes
Penny for the thoughts behind your disguise
What you gonna do and what you gonna say?
I'm not the only one believing there's an easier way
What'ya gonna do with the rest of your life
Penny for the thoughts behind your disguise
I am the vine
And you're the branches
