UP THE JUNCTION - Squeeze
E-A-E-C#m-E

I never thought it would happen
With me and the girl from Clapham
Out on the windy common
That night I ain't forgotten
Where she dealt out the rations
With some or other passions
I said you are a lady
Perhaps she said I may be

We moved into a basement
With talks of our engagement
We stayed in by the telly
Although the room was smelly
We spent our time just kissin'
The Railway Arms we're missin'
But love had got us hooked up
And all our time it took up

I got a job with Stanley
He said I'd come in handy
And he started me on Monday
So I had a bath on Sunday
I worked eleven hours
And bought the girl some flowers
She said she'd seen a doctor
And nothing now could stop her

C#m_G#m_F#m_B_Dm_Am_G_F_A

I worked all through the winter
The weather brass and bitter
I put away a tenner
Each week to make her better
And when the time was ready
We had to sell the telly
Late evenings by the fire
And little kicks inside her

D-G-D-Bm-D
This morning at four fifty
I took her rather nifty
Down to an (E7) incubator
Where thirty minutes later
She gave birth to a daughter
Within a year a walker
She looked just like her mother
If there could be another

E-A-E-C#m-E
And now she's two years older
Her mother's with a soldier
She left me with my drinkin'
Became a proper stingin'
The devil came and took me
From bar to street to bookie
No more nights by the telly
No more nights nappies smelling

Alone here in the kitchen
I feel there's somethin' missin'
I beg for some (F#m7)forgiveness
But beggin's not my business
And she won't write a letter
Although I always tell her
And so it's my assumption
I'm really up the junction
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LABELLED WITH LOVE - Squeeze
Intro: B7 E
E
She unscrews the top of a new whiskey bottle
B7
And shuffles about in her candlelit hovel
Like some kind of witch with blue fingers in mittens
E
She smells like the cat and the neighbours she sickens
The black and white TV has long seen a picture
E7 A
The cross on the wall is a permanent fixture
B7
The postman delivers the final reminders
A G#m F#m E
She sells off her silver and poodles in China.

chorus
E F#m
Drinks to remember I, me and myself
B7
Winds up the clock
E
And knocks dust from the shelf
F#m
Home is a love that I miss very much
B7 A (bass run G#m F#m) E
So the past has been bottled and labelled with love.

During the war time an American pilot
Made every air raid a time of excitement,
She moved to his prairie and married the Texan
She learnt from a distance how love was a lesson,
He became drinker and she became mother
She knew that one day she'd be one or the other,
He ate himself older, drunk himself dizzy
Proud of her features, she kept herself pretty.
chorus
He like a cowboy died drunk in his slumber
Out on the porch in the middle of summer,
She crossed the ocean back home to her family
But they had retired to roads that were sandy,
She moved home alone without friends or relations
Lived in a world full of age reservation,
On moth eaten armchairs she'd say that she'd sod all
The friends who had left her to drink from the bottle.
chorus... repeat last line 3 times last one slow to finish
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
COOL FOR CATS - Squeeze
G_Em_C_Am_ Eb_Cm_Eb_Cm_Eb_C
G_Em_C_F_Em_Am
G EM DM
The Indians send signals from the rocks above the pass
C Am
The cowboys take position in the bushes and the grass
The squaw is with the corporal she is tied against the tree
She doesn't mind the language, it's the beating she don't need
She lets loose all the horses when the corporal is asleep
And he wakes to find the fires dead and arrows in his hat
And Davy Crockett rides around and says it's cool for cats
It's cool for cats
The Sweeny's doing ninety 'cause they've got the word to go
To get a gang of villains in a shed up at Heathrow
They're counting out the fivers when the handcuffs lock again
In and out of Wandsworth with the numbers on their names
It's funny how their Missus' always looks the bleeding same
And meanwhile at the station there's a couple of likely lads
Who swear like how's your father and they're very cool for cats
They're cool for cats
To change the mood a little I've been posing down the pub
I'm seeing my reflection, I'm looking slightly rough
I fancy this, I fancy that, I wanna be so flash
I give a little muscle and I spend a little cash
But all I get is bitter and a nasty little rash
And by the time I'm sober I've forgotten what I've had
And everybody tells me that it's cool to be a cat,
Cool for cats
Shape up at the disco when I think I've got a pull
I ask her lots of questions as she hangs on to the wall
I kiss her for the first time and then I take her home
I'm invited in for coffee and I give the dog a bone
She likes to go to discos but she's never on her own
I said I'll see you later and I give her some old chat
But it's not like that on the TV when it's cool for cats
It's cool for cats

THE BENDS - Radiohead
Intro: D C-B C, B C (x4)
Em_G_C_Csus
Where do we go from here, the words are coming out all weird
Where are you now, when I need you
Alone on an aeroplane, fallin' asleep beside the window pane
My blood will thickenI need to wash myself again, to hide all the dirt and pain
I'd be scared that there's nothing underneath
And who are my real friends? Have they all got the bends?
Am I really sinking this low?
Chorus
D_C_B_C
Baby's got the bends, Oh no
D_B_C
I don't have any real friends
E
I'm just lyin' in a bar with my drip feed on
G C
Talking to my girlfriend waiting for something to happen
E
And I wish it was the sixties, I wish I could be happy
G C
I wish, I wish, I wish that something would happen ...
Where do we go from here, the words are coming out all weird
Where are you now, when I need you
They brought in the CIA, the tanks and the whole marines
To blow me away, to blow me SKY HIGH!
Chorus
I want to live and breath
I want to be part of the human race (x2)

QUICKSAND - David Bowie
I’m closer to the golden dawn
Immersed in Crowley’s uniform of imagery
I’m living in a silent film
Portraying Himler’s sacred realm
Of dream reality
I’m frightened by the total goal
I’m drawing to the ragged hole
And I’m ain’t got the power any more
No I aint got the power any more
I’m the twisted name on Garbo’s eyes
Living proof of Chirchill’s lies
I’m destiny
I’m drawn between the light and dark
Where others see their targets
Divine symmetry
Should I kiss the viper’s fang
Or hearald loud the death of Man
I’m sinking in the quicksand of my thoughts
And I aint got the power anymore
Don’t believe in yourself
Don’t deceive with belief
Knowledge comes with death’s release
I’m not a profit or a stoneage man
Just a mortal with potential of a superman
I’m living on
I’m tethered to the logic of Homo Sapien
Can’t take my eyes from this great salvation
Of bullshit faith
If I don’t explain what you ought to know
You can tell me all about it
On the next Bardot
And I’m sinking in the quicksand of my thought
And I aint got the power anymore
Don’t believe in yourself
Don’t deceive with belief
Knowledge comes with death’s release

In the shuffling madness
of Locomotive Breath
Em Em G D B
Runs the all-time loser

Headlong to his death
Em Em G D Em
Oh He feels the pistons scraping
Em Em G D
Steam Breaking on his brow
G A
Old Charlie stole the handle
B B D Em
And the train it won't stop going no way to slow down
He sees his children jumping off
At stations one by one
His woman and his best friend
In bed and having fun
Oh he's crawling down the corridor
On his hands and knees
Old Charlie stole the handle
And the train it won't stop going no way to slow down
He hears the silence howling
Catches angels as they fall
And the all-time winner
Has got him by the balls
Oh he picks up gideon's Bible
Open at page one
I thank god He stole the handle
And the train it won't stop going no way to slow down...

BITTERSWEET SYMPHONY - The Verve
Chords:
E Bm7 D A all the way through
Lyrics:
Cos' it's a bittersweet symphony this life...
Trying to make ends meet , you're a slave to the money then you die.
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down...
You know the one that takes you to the places where all the pain lives,
yeah.
No change, I can change, I can change, I can change,
but I'm here in my mould , I am here in my mould.
But I'm a million different people from one day to the next...
I can't change my mould , no,no,no,no,no,no,no
Well I never pray,
But tonight I'm on my knees, yeah.
I need to hear some sounds that recognise the pain in me, yeah.
I let the melody shine, let it cleanze my mind , I feel free now.
But the airwaves are clean and there's nobody singing to me now.
No change, I can change, I can change, I can change,
but I'm here in my mould , I am here in my mould.
And I'm a million different people from one day to the next
I can't change my mould, no,no,no,no,no,no,no
(Well have you ever been down?)
(I can change, I can change...)
Cos' it's a bittersweet symphony this life.
Trying to make ends meet, trying to find some money then you die.
You know I can change, I can change, I can change,
but I'm here in my mould, I am here in my mould.
And I'm a million different people from one day to the next.
I can't change my mould, no,no,no,no,no,no,no
(I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down)
(I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down)
(It justs sex and violence melody and silence)
(Been down)
(Ever been down)
(Ever been down)

Cos baby, ooo-oooh, if heaven falls, I'm coming too
Just like you said, you live my life, I'm better off dead
All this talk of getting old is bringing me down my love
Like a cat in a bag, waiting to drown, this time I'm comin' down
Now the drugs don't work, they just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again
Cos baby, ooo-oooh, if heaven falls, I'm coming too
Just like you said, you live my life, I'm better off dead
But if you want a show, just let me know
And I'll sing in your ear again
But the drugs don't work, they just make you worse
And I know I'll see your face again
Yeah, I know I'll see your face again ( x 4 )

Is that everything is just fine, fine, fine
Cause I got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is hailing a taxi cab

So, so you think you can tell heaven from hell
Blue skies from pain
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
C - - - / D - - - / Am - - - / G - - - /
D - - - / C - - - / Am - - - / G - - - //
And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze? Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?
(Solo on intro)
How I wish, how I wish you were here
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl
Year after year
Running over the same old ground, what have we found?
The same old fears
Wish you were here

FOOT OF THE MOUNTAIN - Paul Weller

Am D Dsus4...

Like a dream on the ocean
Always drifting away
And I can't catch up
She just skips away - on the tide
Sometimes a great notion
Can lead you astray

Am D Dsus F Am
So weak to devotion
So strong to desire

F C Csus
Baby, baby, baby won't you let me ride
Take me off on your sail boat ride
Come on now angels, are on your side
But she slips away - oh, and never stays

middle 8

Like mercury gliding
A silver teardrop that falls
And I will never hold her
Through my fingers she's gone
At the foot of the mountain
Such a long way to climb
How will I ever get up there -
Though I know I must try
Baby, baby, baby won't you let me ride
Take me off on your sail boat ride
Come on now angels, are on your side
But she slips away - oh, and never stays
Like a dream on the ocean
Always drifting away
And I can't catch up
She just skips away - on the tide
She just slips away - on the tide
Skips away - as she glides

(All I gotta do, is think of you)
(All I gotta do, is think of you)
I don't care how long this lasts
We have no future, we have no past
I write this now while I'm in control
I'll choose the words and how the melody goes,
Along winding streets we walked hand in hand
And how I long for that sharp wind
To take my breath away again
I'd run my fingers through your hair
Hair like a wheatfield I'd run through
That I'd run through -
And I miss you so - I miss you so
No you're gone I feel so alone
I miss you so
I'd send you a flower - a sunflower bright
`Cause you cloud my days messing up my nights
And all the way up to the top of your head
Sunshower kisses I felt we had
And I miss you so - Oh baby I miss you so
Now your gone, I feel so low - oh I miss you so, I do

(funky bit...)

But I miss you so - Oh darling I miss you so
Now your gone, I feel so low - oh I said I miss you so, I do
All I gotta do is think of you - and I miss you so
(All I gotta do, is think of you)
Baby I'm... I`m afraid to say why - I miss you so
Baby I'm... I`m afraid to say why - Oh I miss you so
(All I gotta do, is think of you)
(All I gotta do, is think of you)
Baby I'm... I`m afraid to say why - I miss you so
Baby I'm... I`m afraid to say why - Oh I miss you so
(All I gotta do, is think of you)

WILD WOOD - Paul Weller
Bm_Bm(leave third finger in only)_Am7_Gm(or MS version)
High tide, mid afternoon
People fly by, in the traffics boom
Knowing, just where you're blowing
Getting to where you should be going
Don't let them get you down
Making you feel guilty about
Golden rain, will bring you riches
All the good things you deserve now
Climbing, forever trying
Find your way out of the wild, wild wood
Now there's no justice
Only yourself that you can trust in
And I said high tide, mid afternoon
People fly by, in the traffics boom
Knowing, just where you're blowing
Getting to where you should be going
Day by day your world fades away
Waiting to feel all the dreams that say
Golden rain will bring you riches
All the good things you deserve now
And I say, climbing, forever trying
Find your way out of the wild, wild wood
Said you're gonna find your way out of the wild, wild wood

YOU DO SOMETHING TO ME - Paul Weller

Em (litle finger run up)_D_Am7_Bm

You do something to me - something deep inside
I'm hanging on the wire - for a love I'll never find
You do something wonderful - then chase it all away
Mixing my emotions - that throws me back again
Hanging on the wire, I'm waiting for the change
I'm dancing through the fire, just to catch a flame -
an' feel real again
You do something to me - somewhere deep inside
I'm hoping to get close to - a peace I cannot find -
Dancing through the fire - just to catch a flame
Just to get close to, just close enough -
To tell you that.....
You do something to me - something deep inside.

SUPERMAN SONG - Crash Test Dummies
Tarzan wasn't a ladies' man
He'd just come along and scoop 'em up under his arm
Like that, quick as a cat in the jungle
But Clark Kent, now there was a real gent
He would not be caught sittin' around in no
Junglescape, dumb as an ape doing nothing
[CHORUS]
Superman never made any money
For saving the world from Solomon Grundy
And sometimes I despair the world will never see
Another man like him
Hey Bob, Supe had a straight job
Even though he could have smashed through any bank
In the United States, he had the strength, but he would now
Folks said his family were all dead
Their planet crumbled but Superman, he forced himself
To carry on, forget Krypton, and keep going
Tarzan was king of the jungle and Lord over all the apes
But he could hardly string together four words: "I Tarzan, You Jane."
Sometimes when Supe was stopping crimes
I'll bet that he was tempted to just quit and turn his back
On man, join Tarzan in the forest
But he stayed in the city, and kept on changing clothes
In dirty old phonebooths till his work was through
And nothing to do but go on home

GOD SHUFFLED HIS FEET - Cash Test Dummies
After seven days
He was quite tired so God said:
" Let there be a day
Just for picnics, with wine and bread"
He gathered up some people he had made
Created blanket and laid back in the shade
The people sipped their wine
And what with God there, they asked him questions
Like: do you have to eat
Or get your hair cut in heaven?
And if your eye got poked out in this life
Would it be waiting up in heaven with your wife?
God shuffled his feet and glanced around at them;
The people cleared their throats and stared right back at him
So he said:"Once there was a boy
Who woke up with blue hair
To him it was a joy
Until he ran out into the warm air
He thought of how his friend would come to see;
And would they laugh, or had he got some strange disease?
God shuffled his feet and glanced around at them;
The people cleared their throats and stared right back at him
The people sat waiting
Out on their blankets in the garden
But God said nothing
So someone asked him:"I beg your pardon:
I'm not quite clear about what you just spoke
What that a parabole, or a very subtile joke?"
God shuffled his feet and glanced around at them;
The people cleared their throats and stared right back at him

NIGHT PROWLER - AC/DC
Somewhere a clock strikes midnight
And there's a full moon in the sky
You hear a dog bark in the distance
You hear someone's baby cry
A rat runs down the alley
And a chill runs down your spine
Someone walks across your grave
And you wish the sun would shine
No one's gonna warn you
And no one's gonna yell 'Attack'
And you don't feel the steel
Till it's hanging out your back
CHORUS:
I'm your Night Prowler, asleep in the day
I'm your Night Prowler, get out of my way
Look out for the Night Prowler, watch you tonight
I'm the Night Prowler, when you turn out the light ...
Too scared to turn your light out
'Cos there's something on your mind
Was that a noise outside your window?
What's that shadow on the blind?
As you lie there naked
Like a body in a tomb Suspended animation
As I slip into your room
CHORUS Solo CHORUS
I'm your Night Prowler, break down your door
I'm your Night Prowler, crawling 'cross your floor
I'm your Night Prowler, make a mess of you, yes
I will Night Prowler, and I am telling this to you
There ain't nothing you can do (Shazbot Nunu Nunu)

ONE WEEK - Bare Neked Ladies
It's been one week since you looked at me
Cocked your head to the side and said "I'm angry"
Five days since you laughed at me saying
" Get that together come back and see me"
Three days since the living room
I realized it's all my fault, but couldn't tell you
Yesterday you'd forgiven me
but it'll still be two days till I say I'm sorry
Hold it now and watch the hoodwink
As I make you stop, think
You'll think you're looking at Aquaman
I summon fish to the dish, although I like the Chalet Swiss
I like the sushi
'cause it's never touched a frying pan
Hot like wasabe when I bust rhymes
Big like LeAnn Rimes
Because I'm all about value
Bert Kaempfert's got the mad hits
You try to match wits, you try to hold me but I bust through
Gonna make a break and take a fake
I'd like a stinkin achin shake
I like vanilla, it's the finest of the flavours
Gotta see the show, cause then you'll know
The vertigo is gonna grow
Cause it's so dangerous,
you'll have to sign a waiver
How can I help it if I think you're funny when you're mad
Trying hard not to smile though I feel bad
I'm the kind of guy who laughs at a funeral
Can't understand what I mean?
Well, you soon will
I have a tendency to wear my mind on my sleeve
I have a history of taking off my shirt
It's been one week since you looked at me
Threw your arms in the air
and said "You're crazy"
Five days since you tackled me
I've still got the rug burns on both my knees
It's been three days since the afternoon
You realized it's not my fault
not a moment too soon
Yesterday you'd forgiven me
And now I sit back and wait til you say you're sorry
Chickity China the Chinese chicken
You have a drumstick and your brain stops tickin'
Watchin' X-Files with no lights on
We're dans la maison
I hope the Smoking Man's in this one
Like Harrison Ford I'm getting frantic
Like Sting I'm tantric
Like Snickers, guaranteed to satisfy
Like Kurasawa I make mad films
Okay, I don't make films
But if I did they'd have a Samurai
Gonna get a set a' better clubs
Gonna find the kind with tiny nubs
Just so my irons aren't always flying off the back-swing
Gotta get in tune with Sailor Moon
'Cause the cartoon has got the boom anime babes
That make me think the wrong thing
How can I help it if I think you're funny when you're mad
Tryin' hard not to smile though I feel bad
I'm the kind of guy who laughs at a funeral
Can't understand what I mean?
Well, you soon will
I have a tendency to wear my mind on my sleeve
I have a history of losing my shirt
It's been one week since you looked at me
Dropped your arms to your sides
and said "I'm sorry"
Five days since I laughed at you and said
" You just did just what I thought you were gonna do"
Three days since the living room
We realized we're both to blame,
but what could we do?
Yesterday you just smiled at me
Cause it'll still be two days till we say we're sorry
It'll still be two days till we say we're sorry
It'll still be two days till we say we're sorry

DEVIL'S HAIRCUT - Beck
Something's wrong 'cause my mind is fading
And everywhere I look there's a dead end waiting
Temperature's dropping at the rotten oasis
Stealing kisses from the leperous faces
Heads are hanging from the garbage man trees
Mouthwash jukebox gasoline
Pistols are pointing at a poor man's pockets
Smiling eyes ripping out of his sockets
Got a devil's haircut in my mind
Got a devil's haircut in my mind
Got a devil's haircut in my mind
Got a devil's haircut in my mind
Love machines on the sympathy crutches
Discount orgies on the dropout buses
Hitching a ride with the bleeding noses
Coming to town with the brief case blues
Got a devil's haircut in my mind
Got a devil's haircut in my mind
Got a devil's haircut in my mind
Got a devil's haircut in my mind
Something's wrong 'cause my mind is fading
Ghetto-blastin' disintegrating
Rock 'n' roll, know what I'm sayin'
And everywhere I look there's a devil waiting
Got a devil's haircut in my mind
Got a devil's haircut in my mind
Got a devil's haircut in my mind
Got a devil's haircut in my mind
Devil's haircut! In my mind!
Devil's haircut! In my mind!
Devil's haircut! In my mind!

BRICK - Ben Folds Five
6 am day after Christmas
I throw some clothes on in the dark
The smell of cold
Car seat is freezing
The world is sleeping
I am numb
Up the stairs to the apartment
She is balled up on the couch
Her mom and dad went down to Charlotte
They're not home to find us out
And we drive
Now that I have found someone
I'm feeling more alone
Than I ever have before
She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly
Off the coast and I'm headed nowhere
She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly
They call her name at 7:30
I pace around the parking lot
Then I walk down to buy her flowers
And sell some gifts that I got
Can't you see
It's not me you're dying for
Now she's feeling more alone
Than she ever has before
She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly
Off the coast and I'm headed nowhere
She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly
As weeks went by
It showed that she was not fine
They told me son, it's time to tell the truth
She broke down, and I broke down
Cause I was tired of lying
Driving home to her apartment
For a moment we're alone
Yeah she's alone
I'm alone

SONG FOR THE DUMPED - Ben Folds Five
So you wanted
to take a break
Slow it down some and
have some space
Well fuck you too
Give me my money back
Give me my money back
you bitch
I want my money back
(And don't forget to give
me back my black T-Shirt)
Wish I hadn't bought you dinner
Right before you dumped me
on your front porch
Give me my money back
Give me my money back
You bitch
I want my money back
and don't forget
And don't forget.

BORN TO RUN - Bruce Springstein
In the day we sweat it out in the streets of a runaway American dream
At night we ride through mansions of glory in suicide machines
Sprung from cages out on highway 9,
Chrome wheeled, fuel injected
and steppin' out over the line
Baby this town rips the bones from your back
It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap
We gotta get out while we're young
`Cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run
Wendy let me in I wanna be your friend
I want to guard your dreams and visions
Just wrap your legs 'round these velvet rims
and strap your hands across my engines
Together we could break this trap
We'll run till we drop, baby we'll never go back
Will you walk with me out on the wire
`Cause baby I'm just a scared and lonely rider
But I gotta find out how it feels
I want to know if love is wild
girl I want to know if love is real
Beyond the Palace hemi-powered drones scream down the boulevard
The girls comb their hair in rearview mirrors
And the boys try to look so hard
The amusement park rises bold and stark
Kids are huddled on the beach in a mist
I wanna die with you Wendy on the streets tonight
In an everlasting kiss
The highway's jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive
Everybody's out on the run tonight
but there's no place left to hide
Together Wendy we'll live with the sadness
I'll love you with all the madness in my soul
Someday girl I don't know when
we're gonna get to that place
Where we really want to go
and we'll walk in the sun
But till then tramps like us
baby we were born to run

THE RIVER - Bruce Springstein
I come from down in the valley
where mister when you're young
They bring you up to do like your daddy done
Me and Mary we met in high school
when she was just seventeen
We'd ride out of that valley down to where the fields were green
We'd go down to the river
And into the river we'd dive
Oh down to the river we'd ride
Then I got Mary pregnant
and man that was all she wrote
And for my nineteenth birthday I got a union card and a wedding coat
We went down to the courthouse
and the judge put it all to rest
No wedding day smiles no walk down the aisle
No flowers no wedding dress
That night we went down to the river
And into the river we'd dive
Oh down to the river we did ride
I got a job working construction for the Johnstown Company
But lately there ain't been much work on account of the economy
Now all them things that seemed so important
Well mister they vanished right into the air
Now I just act like I don't remember
Mary acts like she don't care
But I remember us riding in my brother's car
Her body tan and wet down at the reservoir
At night on them banks I'd lie awake
And pull her close just to feel each breath she'd take
Now those memories come back to haunt me
they haunt me like a curse
Is a dream a lie if it don't come true
Or is it something worse
that sends me down to the river
though I know the river is dry
That sends me down to the river tonight
Down to the river
my baby and I
Oh down to the river we ride

SULTANS OF SWING - Dire Straits
intro
Dm_Bb_C (repeat)
Dm_C_Bb_A
F_C_Bb_Dm_Bb_C
You get a shiver in the dark
It's been raining in the park but meantim
South of the river you stop and you hold everything
A band is blowing Dixie double four time
You feel all right when you hear that music ring
You step inside but you don't see too many faces
Coming in out of the rain to hear the jazz go down
Too much competition too many other places
But not too many horns can make that sound
Way on downsouth way on downsouth London town
You check out Guitar George he knows all the chords
Mind he's strictly rhythm he doesn't want to make it cry or sing
And an old guitar is all he can afford
When he gets up under the lights to play his thing
And Harry doesn't mind if he doesn't make the scene
He's got a daytime job he's doing alright
He can play honky tonk just like anything
Saving it up for Friday night
With the Sultans with the Sultans of Swing
And a crowd of young boys they're fooling around in the corner
Drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies and their platform soles
They don't give a damn about any trumpet playing band
It ain't what they call rock and roll
And the Sultans played Creole
And then the man he steps right up to the microphone
And says at last just as the time bell rings
'Thank you goodnight now it's time to go home'
and he makes it fast with one more thing
'We are the Sultans of Swing'.

ROMEO+JULIET - Dire Straits
A lovestruck Romeo, sings a streetsuss serenade
Laying everybody low, with a lovesong that he made
Finds a convenient streetlight, steps out of the shade
Says something like: You and me babe, how about it?
Juliet says: Hey it’s Romeo you nearly gave me a heart attack
He’s underneath the window she’s singing: Hey la my boyfiends back
You shouldn’t come around here singing up at people like that
Anyway what you going to do about it?
Juliet the dice was loaded from the start
And I bet and you exploded into my heart
And I forget, I forget the movie song
When you going to realise, it was just ‘cos the time was wrong Juliet?
Come up on different streets, both were streets of shame
Both dirty, both mean yeas and the dream was just the same
And I dreamed your dream for you, and now your dream is real
How could you look at me as if I was just another one of your deals?
When you can fall for chains of silver, you can fall for chains of gold
You can fall for pretty strangers, and the promise is their hold
You promised me everything, you promised me thick and thin
Now you just say oh Romeo you know I used to have a thing with him

Juliet, when we made love you used to cry
You said I love you like the stars above, I love you ‘till I die
There’s a place for us, you know the movie song
When you going to realise it was just ‘cos the time was wrong, Juliet
I can’t do the talk, like the talk on the TV
And I can’t sing a lovesong, like the way it’s meant to be
And I can’t do anything, but I’ll do anything for you
Can’t do anything except be in love with you
And all I do is miss you, and the way we used to be
And all I do is keep the beat, and the bad company
And all I do is miss you, through the bars of a rhyme
Juliet I'd do the stars with you anytime
Juliet, when we made love you used to cry
You said I love you like the stars above, I love you ‘till I die
There’s a place for us, you know the movie song
When you going to realise it was just ‘cos the time was wrong, Juliet
repeat first verse........

TUNNEL OF LOVE - Dire Straits
Getting crazy on the waltzers, but it’s the life that I choose
sing about the sixblade, sing about the switchback and a torture tattoo
And I been riding on a ghost train, where the cars they scream and slam
And I don’t know where I’ll be tonight, but I’d always tell you where I am
In a screaming ring of faces, I seen her standing in the light
She had a ticket for the races, just like me she was a victim of the night
I out my hand upon her lever, said let it rock and let it roll
She had the one-armed bandit fever,
there was an arrow through my heart and my soul
And the big wheel keep on turning, neon burning up above
And I’m just high on this world
Come on and take a low ride with me girl
On the tunnel of love
Well it’s been money for muscle and another whirlygig
Money for muscle and another girl I dig
Another hustle just to make it big
and rockaway, rockaway
And girl it looks so pretty to me, like it always did
Like the Spanish city to me, when we were kids
Oh girl it looks so pretty to me, like it always did
Like the Spanish city to me, when we were kids
She took off her silver locket, she said remember me by this
she put her hand in my pocket, I got a keepsake and a kiss
And in the roar and dust and diesel, I stood and watched her walk away
I could have caught up with her easy enough, but something must have made me stay
And the big wheel keep on turning, neon burning up above
And I’m just high on this world
Come on and take a low ride with me girl
On the tunnel of love
And now I'm searching through these carousels and carnival arcades
Searching everywhere from steeplechase to palisades
In any shooting gallery where promises are made
to rockaway, rockaway from colourcoats to whitley bay out to rockaway
And girl it looks so pretty to me, like it always did
Like the Spanish city to me, when we were kids
Oh girl it looks so pretty to me, like it always did
Like the Spanish city to me, when we were kids

MORE THAN WORDS - Extreme
Saying I love you
Is not the words I want to hear from you
It's not that I want you
Not to say, but if you only knew
How easy it would be to show me how you feel
More than words is all you have to do to make it real
Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me
Cos I'd already know
What would you do if my heart was torn in two
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real
What would you say if I took those words away
Then you couldn't make things new
Just by saying I love you
More than words
Now I've tried to talk to you and make you understand
All you have to do is close your eyes
And just reach out your hands and touch me
Hold me close don't ever let me go
More than words is all I ever needed you to show
Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me
Cos I'd already know
What would you do if my heart was torn in two
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real
What would you say if I took those words away

HOLE HEARTED - Extreme
Life's ambition occupies my time
Priorities confuse the mind
Happiness one step behind
This inner peace I've yet to find
Rivers flow into the sea
Yet even the sea is not so full of me
If I'm not blind why can't I see
That a circle can't fit
Where a square should be
There's a hole in my heart
That can only be filled by you
And this hole in my heart
Can't be filled with the things I do
Hole hearted
Hole hearted
This heart of stone is where I hide
These feet of clay kept warm inside
Day by day less satisfied
Not fade away before I die
Rivers flow into the sea
Yet even the sea is not so full of me
If I'm not blind why can't I see
That a circle can't fit
Where a square should be
There's a hole in my heart
That can only be filled by you
And this hole in my heart
Can't be filled with the things I do
There's a hole in my heart
That can only be filled by you
And this hole in my heart
Can't be filled with the things I do
Hole hearted
Hole hearted
Hole hearted

SOLSBURY HILL - Peter Gabriel
(capo 2)
A_(little finger) twiddly bit
F#m_E_F#m
D(bar2nd allthree)_D and back

Climbing up on Solsbury Hill
I could see the city light
Wind was blowing, time stood still
Eagle flew out of the night
He was something to observe
Came in close, I heard a voice
Standing stretching every nerve
Had to listen had no choice

I did not believe the information
Just had to trust imagination
My heart going boom boom boom
" Son," he said "Grab your things,
I've come to take you home."
(yeh eh back hoim.)

To keepin' silence I resigned
My friends would think I was a nut
Turning water into wine
Open doors would soon be shut
So I went from day to day
Tho' my life was in a rut
" Till I thought of what I'd say
Which connection I should cut

I was feeling part of the scenery
I walked right out of the machinery
My heart going boom boom boom
" Hey" he said "Grab your things
I've come to take you home."
(yeh eh back hoim.)

When illusion spin her net
I'm never where I want to be
And liberty she pirouette
When I think that I am free
Watched by empty silhouettes
Who close their eyes but still can see
No on taught them etiquette
I will show another me

Today I don't need a replacement
I'll tell them what the smile on my face meant
My heart going boom boom boom
" Hey" I said "You can keep my things,
they've come to take me home."

LITTLE WING - Jimi Hendrix
Well, she's walking through the clouds,
With a circus mind that's running wild,
Butterflies and Zebras,
And Moonbeams and fairy tales.
That's all she ever thinks about.
Riding with the wind.
When I'm sad, she comes to me,
With a thousand smiles she gives to me free.
It's alright, she says it's alright,
Take anything you want from me,
Anything.
Fly on little wing.

MYSTIFY - INXS
All veils and misty
Streets of blue
Almond looks
That chill divine
Some silken moment
Goes on forever
And we're leaving broken hearts behind
Mystify
Mystify me
Mystify
Mystify me
I need perfection
Some twisted selection
That tangles me
To keep me alive
In all that exists
None have your beauty
I see your face
I will survive
Eternally wild with the power
To make every moment come alive
All those stars that shine upon you
Will kiss you every night
All veils and misty
Streets of blue
Almond looks
That chill divine
Some silken moment
Goes on forever
And we're leaving
Yeah we're leaving broken hearts behind
You're eternally wild with the power
To make every moment come alive
All those stars that shine upon you
And they'll kiss you every night

DUN RINGILL - Jethro Tull
Clear light on a slick palm
as I mis-deal the day
Slip the night from a shaved pack
make a marked card play
Call twilight hours down
from a heaven home
high above the highest bidder
for the good Lord's throne
In the wee hours I'll meet you
down by Dun Ringill ---
oh, and we'll watch the old gods play
by Dun Ringill
We'll wait in stone circles
`til the force comes through ---
lines joint in faint discord
and the stormwatch brews
a concert of kings
as the white sea snaps
at the heels of a soft prayer
whispered
In the wee hours I'll meet you
down by Dun Ringill ---
oh, and I'll take you quickly
by Dun Ringill

FARM ON THE FREEWAY - Jethro Tull

Nine miles of two-strand topped with barbed wire
laid by the father for the son.
Good shelter down there on the valley floor,
down by where the sweet stream run.
Now they might give me compensation...
That's not what I'm chasing. I was a rich man before yesterday.
Now all I have got is a cheque and a pickup truck.
I left my farm on the freeway.
They're busy building airports on the south side...
Silicon chip factory on the east.
And the big road's pushing through along the valley floor.
Hot machine pouring six lanes at the very least.
Now, they say they gave me compensation...
That's not what I'm chasing. I was a rich man before yesterday.
Now all I have left is a broken-down pickup truck.
Looks like my farm is a freeway.
They forgot they told us what this old land was for.
Grow two tons the acre, boy, between the stones.
This was no Southfork, it was no Ponderosa.
But it was the place that I called home.
They say they gave me compensation...
That's not what I'm chasing. I was a rich man before yesterday.
And what do I want with a million dollars and a pickup truck?

SAID SHE WAS A DANCER - Jethro Tull
She said she was a dancer. If I believed it, it was my busines
She surely knew a thing or two about control.
Next to the bar we hit the samovar. She almost slipped right through my fingers.
It was snowing outside and in her soul.
Well, maybe you're a dancer, and maybe I'm the King of Old Siam.
I thought it through... best to let the illusion roll.
I wouldn't say I've never heard that tale before,
my frozen little senorita,
but if your dream is good, why not share it when the nights are cold?
Hey Moscow, what's your story? Lady, take your time, don't hurry.
Maybe a student of the agricultural plan.
Hey Moscow, what's your name? If you don't want to say, don't worry.
It would probably be hard for me to make it scan.
With her phrase book in her silk soft hand
she spoke in riddles while the vodka listened.
I said, ``Let me look up love, if I might be so bold.''
She was the nearest thing to Rock and Roll
that side of the velvet curtain
that separates eastern steel from western gold.
Hey Miss Moscow, what's your story?
You needn't speak aloud, just whisper.
Am I just the closest thing to an Englishman?
You've seen me in your magazines, or maybe on state television.
I'm your Pepsi-Cola, but you won't take me out the can.
She said she was a dancer --- so she did.
She said she was a dancer. If I believed it, it was my business.
It felt like a merry dance that I was being led.
So I stole one kiss. It was a near miss.
She looked at me like I was Jack the Ripper.
She leaned in close. ``Goodnight,'' was all she said.
So I took myself off to bed.

BUDAPEST - Jethro Tull
I think she was a middle-distance runner...
(the translation wasn't clear).
Could be a budding stately hero.
International competition in a year.
She was a good enough reason for a party...
(well, you couldn't keep up on a hard track mile)
while she ran a perfect circle.
And she wore a perfect smile
in Budapest... hot night in Budapest.
We had to cozzy up in the old gymnasium...
dusting off the mandolins and checking on the gear.
She was helping out at the back-stage...
stopping hearts and chilling beer.
Yes, and her legs went on for ever.
Like staring up at infinity
through a wisp of cotton panty
along a skin of satin sea.
Hot night in Budapest.
You could cut the heat, peel it back with the wrong side of a knife.
Feel it blowing from the sidefills. Feel like you were playing for your life
(if not the money).
Hot night in Budapest.
She bent down to fill the ice box
and stuffed some more warm white wine in
like some weird unearthly vision
wearing only T-shirt, pants and skin.
You know, it rippled, just a hint of muscle.
But the boys and me were heading west
so we left her to the late crew
and a hot night in Budapest.
It was a hot night in Budapest.
She didn't speak much English language...
(she didn't speak much anyway).
She wouldn't make love, but she could make good sandwich
and she poured sweet wine before we played.
Hey, Budapest, cha, cha, cha. Let's watch her now.
I thought I saw her at the late night restaurant.
She would have sent blue shivers down the wall.
But she didn't grace our table.
In fact, she wasn't there at all.
Yes, and her legs went on forever.
Like staring up at infinity.
Her heart was spinning to the west-lands
and she didn't care to be
that night in Budapest.
Hot night in Budapest.

IN THE END - Linkin Park
(It starts with)
One thing / I don’t know why
It doesn’t even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind / I designed this rhyme
To explain in due time
All I know
time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away
It’s so unreal
Didn’t look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Trying to hold on / but didn’t even know
Wasted it all just to
Watch you go
I kept everything inside and even though I tried / it all fell apart
What it meant to me / will eventually / be a memory / of a time when I tried
so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
One thing / I don’t know why
It doesn’t even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind / I designed this rhyme
To remind myself how
I tried so hard
In spite of the way you were mocking me
Acting like I was part of your property
Remembering all the times you fought with me
I’m surprised it got so (far)
Things aren’t the way they were before
You wouldn’t even recognize me anymore
Not that you knew me back then
But it all comes back to me
In the end
You kept everything inside and even though I tried / it all fell apart
What it meant to me / will eventually / be a memory / of a time when I
I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn’t even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn’t even matter
I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
And for all this
There’s only one thing you should know
I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
And for all this
There’s only one thing you should know
I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn’t even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn’t even matter

SWEET HOME ALABAMA - Lynard Skinard
D_C_G
(F_C boo hoo)

(Turn it up)
Big wheels keep on turning
Carry me home to see my kin
Singing songs about the Southland
I miss Alabamy once again
And I think its a sin, yeah

Well I heard mister Young sing about her
Well, I heard ole Neil put her down
Well, I hope Neil Young will remember
A Southern man don't need him around anyhow

Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet Home Alabama
Lord, I'm coming home to you

...solo break

In Birmingham they love the governor (Boo hoo)
Now we all did what we could do
Now Watergate does not bother me
Does your conscience bother you?
Tell the truth

Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet Home Alabama
Lord, I'm coming home to you
Here I come Alabama

...solo break

Now Muscle Shoals has got the Swampers
And they've been known to pick a song or two (yes they do)
Lord they get me off so much
They pick me up when I'm feeling blue
Now how about you?

Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet Home Alabama
Lord, I'm coming home to you

Sweet home Alabama
Oh sweet home baby
Where the skies are so blue
And the governor's true
Sweet Home Alabama
Lordy
Lord, I'm coming home to you
Yea, yea Montgomery's got the answer

COMFORTABLY NUMB - Pink Floyd
Hello?
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anyone home?
Come on, now.
I hear you're feeling down.
Well I can ease your pain,
Get you on your feet again.
Relax.
I need some information first.
Just the basic facts,
Can you show me where it hurts?
There is no pain, you are receding.
A distant ship's smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're sayin'.
When I was a child I had a fever.
My hands felt just like two balloons.
Now I got that feeling once again.
I can't explain, you would not understand.
This is not how I am.
I have become comfortably numb.
Ok.
Just a little pinprick.
There'll be no more ...Aaaaaahhhhh!
But you may feel a little sick.
Can you stand up?
I do believe it's working. Good.
That'll keep you going for the show.
Come on it's time to go.
There is no pain, you are receding.
A distant ship's smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're sayin'.
When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse,
Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone.
I cannot put my finger on it now.
The child is grown, the dream is gone.
I have become comfortably numb.

Hush, my baby. Baby, don't you cry.
Momma's gonna make all of your nightmares come true.
Momma's gonna put all of her fears into you.
Momma's gonna keep you right here under her wing.
She won't let you fly, but she might let you sing.
Momma's gonna keep Baby cozy and warm.
Oooo Babe.

Ooo Babe, of course Momma's gonna help build a wall.
Mother, do you think she's good enough,
For me?
Mother, do you think she's dangerous,

Mother will she tear your little boy apart?
Ooooowaa Mother, will she break my heart?
Hush, my baby. Baby, don't you cry.
Momma's gonna check out all your girlfriends for you.
Momma won't let anyone dirty get through.
Momma's gonna wait up until you get in.
Momma will always find out where you've been.
Momma's gonna keep Baby healthy and clean.

CALIFORNICATION - Red Hot Chilli Peppers

C_G_Dm_Am
Psychic spies from China
Try to steal your mind's elation
Little girls from Sweden
Dream of silver screen quotations
And if you want these kind of dreams
It's Californication
(It's the) edge of the world
And all of western civilization
The sun may rise in the East
At least it settles in the final location
It's understood that Hollywood
sells Californication
(oooooooo)
Pay your surgeon very well
To break the spell of aging
Celebrity skin is this your chin
Or is that war your waging
[Chorus:]
First born unicorn
Hard core soft porn
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Marry me girl be my fairy to the world
Be my very own constellation
A teenage bride with a baby inside
Getting high on information
And buy me a star on the boulevard
It's Californication
Space may be the final frontier
But it's made in a Hollywood basement
Cobain can you hear the spheres
Singing songs off station to station
And Alderon's not far away
It's Californication
(ooooooooooo)
Born and raised by those who praise
Control of population everybody's been there
and I don't mean on vacation
[Chorus]
First born unicorn
Hard core soft porn
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
middle bit...
Destruction leads to a very rough road
But it also breeds creation
And earthquakes are to a girl's guitar
They're just another good vibration
And tidal waves couldn't save the world
From Californication
(ooooooo)
Pay your surgeon very well
To break the spell of aging
Sicker than the rest
There is no test
But this is what you're craving
[Chorus]
First born unicorn
Hard core soft porn
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication

UNDER THE BRIDGE - Red Hot Chilli Peppers
Sometimes I feel like, I don’t have a mother
Sometimes I feel like, my only friend is
The city I live in, the city of angels
Lonley as I am, toghether we cry (we cry)
I don’t want to ever feel, like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way
I don’t want to ever feel, like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way
I drive on the straights, ‘cos she’s my companion
I walk through her fields, ‘cos she knows who I am
She sees my good day, than she kisses me one day
I’m going to stay, now that is right
I don’t want to ever feel, like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way
I don’t want to ever feel, like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way
It’s hard to blame, there’s nobody out there
It’s hard to blame, that I’m all alone
At least I have her love, the city she loves me
Only a I am, toether we cry
I don’t want to ever feel, like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way
I don’t want to ever feel, like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way

AEROPLANE - Red Hot Chilli Peppers
Looking in my own eyes
I can't find the love I want
Someone better slap me
Before I start to rust
Before I start to decompose
Looking in my rear mirror
Looking in my rear mirror
I can make it disappear
I like pleasure spiked w/pain
Music is my aeroplane
It's my aeroplane
Songbird sweet and sour Jane
Music is my air........row plane
It's my aeroplane
Sitting in my kitchen
I'm turning into dust again
My melancholy baby
The star of mazzy must
Push her voice inside of me
I'm overcoming gravity
I'm overcoming gravity
It's easy when you're sad to be
It's easy when you're sad to be
Just one note
Could make me float
Could make me float away
One note from
The song she wrote
Could fuck me where I lay
Just one note
Could make me choke
One note that's
Not a lie
Just one note
Could cut my throat
One could make me die

Another mirror stare
And she's going where?
Another office affair, to kill an unborn scare
You talk dirty to a priest, it makes you human at least
Is she running away, to start a brand new day?
Or she's going home, why's she driving alone?
Is anyone going anywhere?
Everyone's got to be, somewhere
She's got a body in the boot, just bags of food
Those are models legs, but are they women's, are they men's?
She shouts down the phone, she missed a payment on the loan
She's go to be above the rest, keeping up with the best
Is anyone going anywhere?
Everyone's got to be, somewhere
She waits tables for a crook, you wrote a hardback book
You teach kids how to read, sell your body on the street
And that's without a job, another up town snob
But have I got you all wrong, one look and you were gone
Is anyone going anywhere?
Is anyone going anywhere?
Is anyone going anywhere?
Everyone's got to be, somewhere

HANDBAGS and GLADRAGS - Stereophonics

G-F-C-G?
Ever seen a blind man cross the road
trying to make the other side
Ever seen a young girl growing old
trying to make herself a bride
Em-Bm-G-Am7-A-C-D-G
So what becomes of you my love
When they have finally stripped you of
The handbags and the gladrags
That your Grandad had to sweat so you could buy Baby
Once I was a young man
and all I thought I had to do was smile
You are still a young girl
and you bought everything in style
Listen
But once you think you're in you're out
'cause you don't mean a single thing without
the handbags and the gladrags
that your Grandad had to sweat so you could buy
Sing a song of six-pence for your sake
And take a bottle full of rye
Four and twenty blackbirds in a cake
And bake them all in a pie
They told me you missed school today
So what I suggest you just throw them all away
the handbags and the gladrags
that your poor old Granddad had to sweat to buy
They told me you missed school today
So I suggest you just throw them all away
the handbags and the gladrags
that your poor old Granddad had to sweat to buy ya

A THOUSAND TREES - Stereophonics
Standing at the bus stop with my shopping in my hands
And I'm overhearing elder ladies
As the rumours start to fly
You can hear them in the school yard
In the scrap yard
In the chip shop
In the phone box
In the pool hall
At the shoe store
Every corner turn around
It started with a school girl
Who was running
Running home to her Mam and Dad
Told them she was playing, in the change room of the local foorball side
They said tell us again, she told them again, tell us the truth, they find it hard to believe
'Cause he taught our I was steve, he even trained me, taught our John who's a father of three
Only takes one tree, to make 1000 matches
Only takes one match, to burn A thousand trees
A thousand trees
You see it in the classroom
In the swimming pool
Where the match stick men are made
At the scout's hall
At the football
Where the wise we trust are paid
They all honour his name
He did a lot for the game
Got his name knocked up above the sports ground gates
But they're ripping them down, stamping the ground
Picture gathers dust behind the bar in the lounge
Only takes one tree, to make a thousand matches
Only takes one match, to burn a thousand trees
A thousand trees
Wake up, and smell the rain
Shake up, he's back to stay
He hasn't been on a holiday
His growing seeds don't believe
Why he's been away
From the school yard
Changing room
Playing field
Bathroom
Phone box
Office blocks
Corners turn around
They keep doubting the flame, tossing the blame
Got his name knocked up above the sports ground gates
And they're ripping them down, stamping the ground
Picture gathers dust in the bar
Only takes one tree, to make a thousand matches
Only takes one match, to burn A thousand trees
A thousand trees
A thousand trees
A thousand trees

LOCAL BOY IN THE PHOTOGRAPH - Stereophonics

+riff D-Cdown....
There's no mistake, I smell that smell
It's that time of year again, I can taste the air
The clocks go back, railway track
Something blocks the line again
And the train runs late for the first time
A pebble beach, we're underneath, a pier that's just been painted red
Where I heard the news for the first time
And all the friends lay down the flowers
Sit on the banks and drink for hours
Talk of the way they saw him last
Local boy in the photograph
Today
He'll always be 23, yet the train runs on and on
Past the place they found his clothing
There's no mistake, I smell that smell
It's that time of year again, I can taste the air
The clocks go back, railway track
Something blocks the line again
And the train runs late for the first time
Today
And all the friends lay down the flowers
Sit on the banks and drink for hours
Talk of the way they saw him last

IS YESTERDAY, TOMMOROW, TODAY? - Stereophonics
it's another way to get through the day
picking up ripped cigarette boxes
hoping that one remains
yellow lucky day suck deep and bathe
for the next ten minutes spent coughing
all the pleasures craved
write down all the things that
you'd like to say
write down all the things that
you'd like to change
write down all the places you'd
like to stay
write down anything that you want
is yesterday, tomorrow, today?
is nothin' gonna change the way
cracked rock top wall let the ash to fall
left alone to wait i've never looked at
things i've liked only things i hate
you're not the first today not the softest
face
was there any that you liked
was there any thay you didn't fake?
write down all the things that
you'd like to be
write down all the things that
you don't believe
write down all the places you'd
like to see
write down anything that you want
is yesterday, tomorrow, today?
is nothing gonna change the way?
because everything that's you
and the things that you like to do
and all of the things that are
come back again
is yesterday, tomorrow, today?

JUST LOOKING - Stereophonics

F_Am
G_C chorus
there's things i want
there's things i think i want
there's things i've had
there's things i wanna have
do i want the dreams
the ones we're forced to see
do i want the perfect wife
the word perfect ain't quite right
shopping every day
take it back the next break
they say the more you fly the more you
risk your life
i'm just looking i'm not buying
i'm just looking keeps me smiling
a house i seen another coulda' been
you drenched my head and said what i said
you said that life is what you make of it
yet most of us just fake
i'm just looking, i'm not buying
i'm just looking, keeps me smiling

Mr. WRITER - Stereophonics
You line them up
Look at your shoes
You hang names on your wall
Then you shoot them all
You fly around in planes
That bring you down
To meet me who loves you, like
Me crashing to the ground
Are you so lonely?
Don't even know me
But you'd like to stone me
Mr Writer, why don't you tell it like it is?
Why don't you tell it like it really is?
Before you go on home
I used to treat you right
Give you my time
But when I'd turn my back on you
Then you do what you do
You've just enough, in my own view
Education to perform
I'd like to shoot you all
And then you go home
With you on your own
What do you really know?

RUSSIANS - Sting
In Europe and America, there's a growing feeling of hysteria
Conditioned to respond to all the threats
In the rhetorical speeches of the Soviets
Mr. Krushchev said we will bury you
I don't subscribe to this point of view
It would be such an ignorant thing to do
If the Russians love their children too
How can I save my little boy from Oppenheimer's deadly toy
There is no monopoly in common sense
On either side of the political fence
We share the same biology
Regardless of ideology
Believe me when I say to you
I hope the Russians love their children too
There is no historical precedent
To put the words in the mouth of the President
There's no such thing as a winnable war
It's a lie that we don't believe anymore
Mr. Reagan says we will protect you
I don't subscribe to this point of view
Believe me when I say to you
I hope the Russians love their children too
We share the same biology
Regardless of ideology
What might save us, me, and you
Is that the Russians love their children too

MOON OVER BOURBON STREET - Sting
There's a moon over Bourbon Street tonight
I see faces as they pass beneath the pale lamplight
I've no choice but to follow that call
The bright lights, the people, and the moon and all
I pray everyday to be strong
For I know what I do must be wrong
Oh you'll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet
While there's a moon over Bourbon Street
It was many years ago that I became what I am
I was trapped in this life like an innocent lamb
Now I can only show my face at noon
And you'll only see me walking by the light of the moon
The brim of my hat hides the eye of a beast
I've the face of a sinner but the hands of a priest
Oh you'll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet
While there's a moon over Bourbon Street
She walks everyday through the streets of New Orleans
She's innocent and young from a family of means
I have stood many times outside her window at night
To struggle with my instinct in the pale moon light
How could I be this way when I pray to God above
I must love what I destroy and destroy the thing I love
Oh you'll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet
While there's a moon over Bourbon Street

Oh, Angie, Oh, Angie, when will those dark clouds disappear
Angie, Angie, where will it lead us from here
With no loving in our souls and no money in our coats
You can't say we're satisfied
But Angie, Angie, you can't say we never tried
Angie, you're beautiful, but ain't it time we said goodbye
Angie, I still love you, remember all those nights we cried
All the dreams we held so close seemed to all go up in smoke
Let me whisper in your ear
Angie, Angie, where will it lead us from here
Oh, Angie, don't you weep, all your kisses still taste sweet
I hate that sadness in your eyes

RAT TRAP - Boomtown Rats
There was an awful lot of rocking going on that night,
Cruising time for the young bright lights,
Just down past the gasworks, by the meat factory door,
The five lamp boyswere coming on strong.
The Saturday night city beat had already started
The pulse of the corner boys sprang into action
And young Billy watched it all under the yellow street light
And said "tonight of all nights there's gonna be a fight"
He doesn't like it living here in this town
He says the traps have been sprung long before he was born
He says "hope bites the dust behind all the closed doors
And pus and grime ooze from its scab crusted sores.
There's screaming and crying in the high rise blocks"
It's a rat trap Billy and you're already caught
But you can make it if you want to or you need it bad enough
You're young and good looking and you're acting kind of tough
Anyway it's Saturday night time to see what's going down.
Put on the bright suit Billy, head for the right side of town
It's only 8 o'clock but you're already bored
You don't know what it is but there's got to be more
You'd better find a way out, hey kick down the door
It's a rat trap and you've been caught
In this town Billy says "everybody tries to tell you what to do"
In this town Billy says "everybody says you gotta follow rules."
Hey you walk up to those traffic lights,
Switch from your left to right
You push in that button, and when that button comes alight
It tells you
" Walk don't walk
Talk don't talk"
Hey Billy take a walk...with me.
Little Judy's trying to watch "top of the pops"
But mum and dad are fighting don't they ever stop,
She take down her coat and walks out on the street,
It's cold on that road, but it's got that home beat,
Deep down in her pockets she finds 50p.,
Now is that any way for a young girl to be,
" I'm gonna get out of school work in some factory,
Work all the hours God gave me get myself a little easy money"
Now, now, now na na.
Her mind's made up, she walks down the road,
Her hands in her pockets, coat buttoned 'gainst the cold,
She finds Billy down at the Italion cafe
And when he's drunk it's hard to understand what Billy says
But then he mumbles in his coffee and suddenly roars,
" It's a rat trap and we've been caught...."

GOOD TIMES - Dave Lee Roth
Time rolls on
That's as it should be
Here and gone
Seems to move so quickly
And we was happy in our restless hearts
Seems like heaven right here on earth
Nothing like it when your reaching for stars
And you grab one, for what it is worth
These were good times, Damn good times
Talking about good times, Damn good times
Hey take a look at this picture
Can you believe that was you
And who's that standing there in the corner not me
All the crazy things we used to do
Man we was acting like a couple of kids
Good to remember you know that it is
Aint nothing like it when your reaching for stars
and you grab one for what is worth
These were good times, Damn good times
Talking about good times, Damn good times
Well its one for the money
But that don't make the show
Count to three and I'll be ready
To follow that road
I see it coming now and this one is ours
Feels like heaven right here on earth
Aint nothing like it when your reaching for stars
and you grab one for what is worth
And we'll be having good times, Damn good times
Talking about good times, Damn good times

EVERYONES A STAR - Francis Dunnery
I’ve been to Hollywood, I’ve been across the water
I’ve talked to senators and to presidential daughters
I talked to an old lady who did not have no money
I talked to a medicine man, and there all the same to me
Wherever you are, whatever you say, Wherever you go
Whatever you need, whoever you are,
Everyone’s a star
I’ve been to Liverpool, I’ve been to old Calcutta
I’ve been to Africa, I’ve been to Tennessee
I went to Zion on my way back from Jamaica
There aint no difference if you know what I mean
Wherever you are, whatever you say, Wherever you go
Whatever you need, whoever you are,
Everyone’s a star
.... solo break
Sing it in the North side, sing it in the South side
Sing it in the East side, sing it in the West side
Sing it in the water, sing it in the air
Sing it on the ground, and everyone sing it...
Everyone, everyone’s a star
Everyone, everyone’s, everyone’s a star
Everyone, everyone’s a star
Everyone, everyone’s, everyone’s a star
I’m just a peasant boy they said was going nowhere
I’m just a peasant boy got no blue blood in me
I’m going to go out there and hold my head up high
There aint no difference if you know what I mean
Wherever you are, whatever you say, Wherever you go
Whatever you need, whoever you are,
Everyone’s a star
Everyone, everyone’s a star
Everyone, everyone’s, everyone’s a star
Everyone, everyone’s a star
Everyone, everyone’s, everyone’s a star

AMERICAN LIFE IN THE SUMMERTIME - Francis Dunnery

(capo1)
E-A-D-A

Johnny left home to seek his fame, small-town boy, the streets of LA
A daytime waiter in a night-time band, acting cool said he was a real man
Couldn’t write a song to save his soul, ripped of an old tune said it was his own
Lo and behold in another few days, a five star dinner that the company pays
Johnny got a guitar, Johnny got a motor, Johnny got a room and a woman to pay
Johnny got a ‘bit part’ playing in a video, Johnny on the freeway

Lets go drink ‘till the beer runs dry (American life in the summertime)
Lets go drink ‘till the beer runs dry (American life in the summertime)
You know the girl you want is just a waste of time
American life in the summertime, got me...

Suzie got a rise at work today, she found a new sound ‘Johnny on the freeway
Virginity blown at minimum age, busy doing nothing on another man’s wages
Blonde hair and mystic eyes, a bottle of pills and a little on the wild side
Saturday come and Saturday go, hanging out back stage waiting for the show
Suzie got a motor, Suzie got a guitar, Suzie got a room that the company pays
A company girl and a company slave, Suzie on the freeway

Lets go drink ‘till the beer runs dry (American life in the summertime)
Lets go drink ‘till the beer runs dry (American life in the summertime)
You know the girl you want is just a waste of time
American life in the summertime, got me...

It breaks my heart to see a nation cloned by someone else’s poetry
They got their backs snapped by a 12 inch pressure, of financial bigotry
You know I still got pride in who I want to be
I don’t want to be like them I just want to be me
A record company clone not me
and I’m still singing’....

Ooo la la la le la la

Lets go drink ‘till the beer runs dry (American life in the summertime)
Lets go drink ‘till the beer runs dry (American life in the summertime)
You know the girl you want is just a waste of time
American life in the summertime, got me...

HOMEGROWN - Francis Dunnery
Well I don’t care too much for ambiguity,
It doesn’t sit too well with my sobriety
You hit me with the one thing I can’t stand
You try to make me a family man
(I say) I’m never going to be a family man
Homegrown, your daddy’s on the phone
Your momma’s in the kitchen and I watch the family crumble
You? you know, you bet your heart and soul
I wander ‘round the garden and I watch the family crumbling away
Well I’ve been drinking all them things you poured on me
It doesn’t mix too well with my debauchery
You tell me do some washing, comb my hair
But that aint something I really choose to care about baby
(Momma got another man)
Homegrown, your daddy’s on the phone
Your momma’s in the kitchen and I watch the family crumble
You? you know, you bet your heart and soul
I wander ‘round the garden and I watch the family crumbling away
There’s a place we can go,
Always a place we can hide away
‘Cos I can’t get no family satisfaction
There’s a pain that I feel when we go and hide
That some could never mention
Let it breathe, then let it rot, let it fall inside your making
‘Cos I’m breaking, I’m homeless and shaking
And I can’t get home emotion
‘Cos I can’t get no family satisfaction
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GOOD LIFE - Francis Dunnery
Softly now, you owe it to the world
And everyone knows that your my favourite girl
But there’s some things in life that are not meant to be
I’m not meant for you and your not meant for me
Here’s to our problems and here’s to our fights
Here’s to our achings and here’s to ya having a...
Good life... from me
Good life...
Softer now, you owe it to yourself
And don’t think that you will be left on the shelf
‘Cos there’s someone for you and there’s someone for me
Like me you’ll meet them eventually
Here’s to your lover and here’s to my wife
And here’s to your children and here’s to you having a...
Good life... from me
Good life...
Louder now, you've lost all your pain
Your married with children and happy again
And now I’m regretting the move that I made
Fatal mistakes are so easily made
Enough of my problems, they only cause fights
Forget that I rang you and promise you’ll have such a
beautifully, happy and painlessly romantic...
Good life... for me
Good life...

48 HOURS - Francis Dunnery
48 Hours ago I was sitting in my rocking chair
I'd been looking for something more and I had a feeling that it was right there
48 Hours ago I was lying in your loving arms
I'd been looking for another sign and I saw that little look in your eye
48 Hours ago I was happy in another time
now I'm waiting for the operator on the phone line
48 Hours ago I was burning with desire
you laid down with your back on the floor and I set the whole of your dress on fire
48 Hours ago I was kissing you all over
I kept giving you a little sign and I kept giving you a piece of my mind
48 Hours ago I was happy in another time
Now I'm waiting for the operator on the phone line
48 Hours ago I was driving with the smell of your skin in the back of my car
and I knew I'd lost you to another dimension but I love you wherever you are
48 Hours ago I was driving to kiss you all over
I set the whole of your dress on fire
I met the whole of you 48 Hours ago
48 Hours to go and I'm thinking of your loving arms
I kept giving you a little sign and I kept giving you a piece of my mind
48 Hours to go and I'm happy in the present time
Now I'm talking to the operator on the phone line
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
COULDN'T FIND A REASON - Francis Dunnery
We've been through so much pain together
We've shared a hundred different lives
And if you take my hand I'll take you on home
Out in the world with the fast lane slowing
I wanna feel you say you wanna be mine
So I spent the night alone
Cause I couldn't find the reason why she'd go
I broke my neck for harmony
I'm tired you see of being alone
Couldn't find a reason why she'd go
Yeah
Couldn't find a reason why she'd go
We've been through high and low together
We sailed the oceans through the skies
And if you take my hand and dry your little eyes
I'll be your morning and you can be my sunrise
The coffees hot and the breakfast is fine
So I spent the night alone
Because I couldn't find the reason why she'd go
I'm drowning in my misery
I'm so tired of being alone
Couldn't find the reason why she'd go
So Tired of being alone
Couldn't find the reason why she'd go
Reason why she'd go
Couldn't find the reason why she'd go
Yeah
Couldn't find the reason why she'd go
Make way for your holiday
And you know that I'm alright
You got torn between two lovers child
And you hold them in the same light
You gotta take care of your mamma
You gotta find what she wanted to do
And the perfumes change a million times
I can't get my baby back to you
Couldn't find the reason why she'd go
I couldn't find I couldn't find baby
Couldn't find the reason why she'd go
Reason why she'd go
Couldn't find the reason why she'd go
I couldn't find, Couldn't find baby
Couldn't find the reason why she'd go
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
Yaeh Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah

SUNSHINE - Francis Dunnery
sunshine, you're my only daylight
sweetheart, stay clean and everything will be just fine
cos I got sunshine, somewhere, sometime
and I will always be your sweetheart
and you'll always be mine
sunshine, you know how hard I try
sweetheart, stay close and I will treat you right
cos I got sunshine, everytime everywhere
and I will always be your sweetheart
and you'll always be mine
sunshine, you're the most beautiful thing that I ever saw in my life
sweetheart, I don't know why it's right all I remember is the good times
and I can't stop this feeling
and I can't turn this tide
and I can't stop this love from falling down
I got nowhere to hide
Sunshine, you'll always be mine
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IMMACULATE - Francis Dunnery
Moved outside of the circle,
And my mind is tired and my neck’s half worn
Someone told me I’m different
As I hold on tight to the things I own
Look what’s sewn in my lining
As I let go all of the things I own
Where no flowers die
Where no walls are needed
Where no hurt can grab ya
Immaculate
Grown inside our mind
Affirmations on where we’re going
don’t take no notice of what the man said
Cos immaculate id sitting in your head
Moved outside of the circle
And my mind is tired and my heart is worn
Someone says that I’m different
As I hold on tight to the things I own
Where the angels fly
Where no homes get broken
And we’re all together
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE WAY THINGS ARE - Francis Dunnery
Come lay your head down and I’ll keep you warm
I found a secret in the morning sun
I saw an angel in another time
I had to be there, had to make it mine
Oh god, take a look at my life. The way things are
Oh man, take a look at my hair. The way things are
It feels like sunshine when I get it right
I can’t fight it when my spirit’s down
I’m coming home now with another head
So I can take in all the things you said
Oh God, take a look at my face. The way things are
Oh man, take a look at my eyes. The way things are
I wanna know right now
Light a candle if it gets you through
And I can see me and I see a new you
Oh God, take a look at my songs. The way things are
Oh man, take a look at my friends. The way things are
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TOO MUCH SATURN - Francis Dunnery
I always believed that if I ran off to India
Wore sandals and shaved my head
And used Body shop conditioner, and incense like crazy
I could call myself a spirit head
But I only went to India to look on top
I wore sandals cause I’d smoked all my money
And I shaved off all my hair cause I had the fleas
I’d been sleeping all over
And the Body shop conditioner was a present from a friend
And the incense used to hide the smell
Of the drug den that I lay in
And so I ask myself what my motives are
For this lying need to look so free
And if I tell myself real honestly
What more can I admit to, open up a door
He said I’m gonna find out what I’m here for
He said I’d find out soon
I got too much Saturn and not enough Moon
I always believed that if I never missed a Yoga class
Read my horoscope in the dailies
And recycle bottles, and know a Red Indian
I could call myself a spirit man
But I was only doing Yoga cause I fancied the teacher
And stars cause it looked good on paper
And I only went to church cause my granny gave me money
When confession was over
And I only knew the Indian cause his brother’s a dealer
And bottles had a price on their return
So I could go and play, Oh my my
And so I ask myself what my motives are
For this lying need to look so free
And if I tell myself real honestly
What more can I admit to, open up a door
He said I’m gonna find out what I’m here for
He said I’d find out soon
I got too much Saturn and not enough Moon
So now that you know why I don’t love you
And now that you see that I’m so scared
Am I a good man ?
Am I a deep deep man ?
What more can I admit to, open up a door
He said I’m gonna find out what I’m here for
He said I’d find out soon
I got too much Saturn
How can I admit it, open up a door
He said I’m gonna find out what I’m here for
He said I’d find out soon
I got too much Saturn and not enough Moon
