Water Under The Bridge

I need to be a better person 
If I am going to get by 
S'pose I should go to bed 
And not stay out all night 
The trouble with me is 
I can't find my feet

The trouble with me is water under the bridge 
My dad hates me and also does my tree

I need to think more clearly 
If I am going to get high 
S'pose I should go to bed 
And not stay out all night 
The trouble with me is 
I can't find my feet

The trouble with me is water under the bridge 
My dad hates me and also does my tree

I'm still doing fine 
I won't serve, I want peace for the world 
Or just a little piece of it 
I long to be sane and I ache to be sober 
But I can't find my feet

trouble with me is water under the bridge 
My dad hates me and also does my tree

The trouble with me is water The trouble with me is water The trouble with me is water under the bridge, 
bridge (x 16) 

I Need Another

How many can you love? 
How many can you swallow? 
How high do I have to fly 
To reach your nest?

In the wintertime, they disappear too soon 
And in the summertime, well I'll always be true

I need another, don't you want one too? 
'Cos I want a lover, just like I need you 
'Cos I want another

How many can I love? 
How many can I go with? 
All my love is emptiness 
When you're not around

So when the stranger comes she loves me only 
But it's never real 
It's just the wintertime you disappear 
So cold is how I feel

I need another, don't you want one too? 
'Cos I want a lover, just like I need you 
'Cos I want another

The morning came and the birds sang the song all fresh and blue 
Sadness flows for the girl that I left 
I came fumbling for you 
Looking for you

In the summertime, I'll always be true 
I need another, don't you want one too? 
'Cos I want a lover, just like I need you 
'Cos I need another, just like I need you 
'Cos I want a lover, don't you want one too? 
'Cos I need another, don't you want one too? 
'Cos I want a lover, just like I need you

Lovebirds

She's got something that I always need 
If I close my eyes will you still be listening to me 
I feel, I know, have I lost control 
I see it now, but I didn't 
Where I once stood, now there's an aching hole

And I say the love we've made will always keep us true 
'Cos she's a lovebird and I love her and I know she loves me too 
And I say the love we've made will always keep us true 
'Cos she's a lovebird and I love her and I know she loves me too 

She's got those ocean-blue eyes for me 
It's like November in here but it's springtime inside of me 
I feel, I know, have I lost control 
I see it now, but I didn't 
Where I once stood, now there's an aching hole

And I say the love we've made will always keep us true 
'Cos she's a lovebird and I love her and I know she loves me too 
And I say the love we've made will always keep us true 
'Cos she's a lovebird and I love her and I know she loves me too 

And I say the love we've made will always keep us true 
'Cos she's a lovebird and I love her and I know she loves me too 

Satisfied

Guess I was satisfied, yes I was 
Could think of nothing better to do with my life 
Lying on the beach from dawn till dusk 
Ain't nothing better to do with your life 
Join our lives together then we will fly 
Feel the sun inside my head and I'll smile

Guess I was satisfied, yes I was 
Could think of nothing better to do with my time 
I won't stop till I get back, to the place where I left you 
I want the feeling all the more 
Join our lives together then we will fly 
Feel the sun inside my head and I'll smile 
Feel the sun inside my head and I'll smile

I never thought it could be so good 
I never thought that it could be so good

Join our lives together then we will fly 
And feel the sun inside my head and I'll smile 
Feel the sun inside my head and I'll smile 
And I'll smile 
Won't you let me make my way through? 
(The Summer Fayre is here and now...)

Won't you let me make my way through?

Won't you let me make my way through? 
Won't you let me make my way through? 
Won't you let me make my way through? 
Won't you let me make my way through? 
Won't you let me make my way through?

Grand Old English Oak Tree

My grand old English oak tree, in late last summer's evening sun 
A shadow of your former self when you were great and proud and strong 
The hills, they stretch so far beyond whatever you could ever hope to see 
Here is where your glory lies, beneath these fields of apathy and greed

How can I trust you when your boughs have broken beneath my feet 
A thousand times before? 
How can I love you when your leaves are always brown? 
They fall around me without shame

My grand old English oak tree, in late last summer's evening sun 
You took the P out of my pride, I've been taken for a ride 
Will you grow forever till your leaves can mingle with the furthest stars? 
And millions come from miles around to shelter underneath your holy palms

How can I trust you when your boughs have broken beneath my feet 
A thousand times before? 
How can I love you when your leaves are always brown? 
They fall around me without shame

Without an ounce of shame

No hope and glory left I said, How can we have let you down? 
Laughing Jack and the Union Star, God hope I'll be around

Stand By Yourself

I used to think that everybody had someone else... 
We're all alone 
Addicted to the things I want 'cos you tell me 
That's what I should own 
I read the news, I read it to myself 
light your fire 
la la la etc. 
I know the games, I play them to myself

Stand by yourself, Stand by yourself, Stand by yourself 
Stand by yourself, Stand by yourself, Stand by yourself

I look out of my window and my reflection's all that I see 
I know the world is beautiful 
But I'm the focus of the world and it revolves around me 
I read the news, I read it to myself 
light your fire 
la la la etc. 
When will you learn that you can do anything that you really want? 
Light your fire 
la la la etc. 
Stand by yourself, Stand by yourself, Stand by yourself 
Stand by yourself, Stand by yourself, Stand by yourself

Stand By Yourself, Stand By Yourself, Stand By Yourself 
Stand By Yourself, Stand By Yourself, Stand By Yourself

As My Time Goes By

As my time goes by, I feel myself slipping 
As my time goes by, I see your hands gripping 
But there's nothing I can do 
If it's happening to you 
As my life goes by, the world has stopped spinning

Someday they will find me and take me away 
And you will think of me just when it rains 
'Cos I know that it's never felt so good

As my time goes by, I feel the saint swelling 
As my eyes go blind, I hear the sky calling 
Lose yourself, lose your soul and mind 
As your time goes by I hope that you are listening

Someday they will find me and take me away 
And you will think of me just when it rains 
'Cos I know that it's never felt so good

Someday they will find me and take me away 
And you will think of me just when it rains 
'Cos I know that it's never felt so good

Never Again

Never again shall we be apart 
I can take so much, and it's too hard to start 
I remember years ago, when this wonderful world went so slow

Now I'm getting on with my life 
I'm getting on with my life 
And this must be my day 
Hope is for the hopeless, spring is for the flowers 
Love is for the lovely, and loneliness belongs to me

Never again shall we be apart 
I am kept in stitches and doubled in half 
Everything new seems so outdated to me

Now I'm getting on with my life 
I'm getting on with my life 
And this must be my day 
Hope is for the hopeless, spring is for the flowers 
Love is for the lovely, and loneliness belongs to me, to me

I'm getting on with my life 
So easy to say 
This must be my day, This must be my day 
This must be my day, This must be my day

Cold Tea

Be careful where you tread 
You don't want to do any harm 
And you don't have to have a reason 
To do what you do when you do it 
When you don't want to be all alone 
You can turn to me 'cos it's easy 
There's nothing worse than cold tea

You say it's in the wrist 
It's in the rhythm of your palm 
You life's and open field 
And you can run, run till you drop 
To lie in long grass 
Or between the sheets that you brought along 
We forget the pot that was hot before it got cold

Make your mark and hope it works 'cos there's more to life to see 
Make your mark, make it loud and clear, 'cos there's more to life with me

Give you an inch and you'll walk with a smile 
Give me a slice and I'll be quiet for a while 
You've got to grow with what you believe, believe

We're Not Going To Take This Anymore

I won't let you down, I won't do nothing wrong 
Just carry on with the day and we can be so strong 
come out and play and let me see just what you see 
Don't leave it tonight tonight to have your dream

Well you know my kind seem to be something different to you 
And it's easy to, it's easy to look away 
So here it comes, times will change, I'm just looking forward 
'Cos it's easy to , it's easy to look away

Don't let me down, 'cos you can be so blind 
The only change is a colour, and a colour is easy to find 
Don't make me wait, could you see that there is no time? 
Be a generation changing all the things that you know that ain't right

Well you know my kind seem to be something different to you 
And it's easy to, it's easy to look away 
So here it comes, times will change, I'm just looking forward 
'Cos it's easy to look, it's easy to look away

It seems to me that I'm going without 
Maybe I should try luck and I'll bring it all out 
To help you pass all of your time
