Feel

Come and hold my hand
I wanna contact the living
Not sure I understand
This role I’ve been given

I sit and talk to God
And he just laughs at my plans
My head speaks a language
I don’t understand

I just want to feel real love
Feel the home that I live in
‘Cause I got too much life
Running through my veins
Going to waste

I don’t want to die
But I ain’t keen on living either
Before I fall in love
I’m preparing to leave her
I scare myself to death
That’s why I keep on running
Before I’ve arrived
I can see myself coming

I just want to feel real love
Feel the home that I live in
‘Cause I got too much life
Running through my veins
Going to waste
And I need to feal real love
And a life ever after
I cannot giving it up

I just want to feel real love
Feel the home that I live in
I got too much love
Running through my veins
To go to waste

I just want to feel real love
Feel a life ever after
There’s a hole in my soul
You can see it in my face
It’s a real big place

Come and hold my hand
I want to contact the living
Not sure I understand
This role I’ve been given
Not sure I understand
Not sure I understand
Not sure I understand
Not sure I understand

Monsoon

I’ve sung some songs that were lame
I’ve slept with girls on the game
I’ve got my Catholic shame

Lord I’m in purgatory
Basically, it’s all come on top for me
I wasn’t me when we met

You haven’t lost my respect
I’m here to serve and protect
What shade of insanity

Keeps leading you back to me
So put your hands across the water
Mushroom

Monsoon
Come soon
Don’t wanna piss on your parade

I’m here to make money and get laid
Yeah I’m a star but I’ll fade
If you ain’t sticking your knives in me

You will be eventually
To all you Sharon’s and Michelle’s
With all your tales to sell

Save your meat money well
I’m glad that spending a night with me
Guaranteed you celebrity

And I can’t talk in a crowd
When I’m alone I’m too loud
You’ve done your daddy’s proud

Thank you for keeping me company
You’ve all been so nice to me
So put your hands across the water

Mushroom
Monsoon
Come soon

Oh Lor’, I feel nothing
I know much smarter men never got this far
I’ve got so many regrets

I smoked too many cigarettes
I’ve had more blondes than brunettes
I’m not expecting your sympathy

But it’s all been too much for me
So put your hands across the water
Mushroom

Monsoon
Come soon
So put your hands across the water

Mushroom
Monsoon
Come soon

Sexed Up

Loose lips sunk ships
I’m getting to grips with what you said

No it’s not in my head
I can’t awaken the dead day after day

Why don’t we talk about it?
Why do you always doubt that there can be a better way?

It doesn’t make me wanna stay
Why don’t we break up?

There’s nothing left to say
I’ve got my eyes shut

Praying they won’t stray
And we’re not sexed up

That’s what makes the difference today
I hope you blow away

You say we’re fatally flawed
Well I’m easily bored, is that ok?

Write me off your list, make this the last kiss
Make this the last kiss, I’ll walk away

Why don’t we talk about it?
I’m only here don’t shout it

Given time we’ll forget
Let’s pretend we never met

Why don’t we break up?
There’s nothing left to say

I’ve got my eyes shut
Praying they won’t stray

And when I’m sexed up
That’s what makes the difference today

I hope you blow away
Screw you, I didn’t like your taste

Anyway, I chose you and that’s all gone to waste
It’s Saturday, I’ll go out

And find another you
Why don’t we break up?

There’s nothing left to say
I’ve got my eyes shut

Praying they won’t stray
And when I’m sexed up

That’s what makes the difference today
I hope you blow away

I hope you blow away
I hope you blow away

I hope you blow away
I hope you blow away

Away
Blow away

Get a Little High

You wake up in the middle of
in the thunder of a scream
and you realise that it was yours

you don’t know what to tell them
cause you don’t know where you’ve been
and you’ve been there so many times before

it’s only natural to feel like you’re sinking
it’s only human to be so unprepared
don’t worry baby

if you get a little high
it’s just a phase to get you through
getting by

so you get a little restless
and you get a little wasted
it’s just a little light entertainment, embrace it

it might just save your life
You always say you’re sorry
but you never know what for

And it’s been happening more and more
act your age and not your shoe size
and blah blah blah blah blah

it’s your role model slam the door
so it’s only natural to feel the guilt of a nation
it’s only human, when you’re young you're gonna cry

Don’t worry baby...
So where else can you go to
cause no one's given you the book

about what to say and how to feel
and what you should and shouldn’t have took
it's feeling that you’re fearing

that's why you step outside your mind
don’t look back
Cause if you don’t crack

You get to sing this lullaby
You get to sing this lullaby

Come Undone

So unimpressed but so in awe
Such a saint but such a whore
So self aware so full of shit
So indecisive so adamant

I’m contemplating thinking about thinking
It’s so frustrating just get another drink in
Watch me come undone

They’re selling razor blades and mirrors in the street
Pray that when I’m coming down you’ll be asleep
If I ever hurt you your revenge will be so sweet
Because I’m scum

And I’m your son
I come undone
I come undone
So rock and roll so corporate suit

So damn ugly, so damn cute
So well trained, so animal
So need your love, so fuck you all
I’m not scared of dying I just don’t want to

If I stopped lying I’d just disappoint you
I come undone
They’re selling razor blades and mirrors in the street
I pray that when I’m coming down you’ll be asleep

If I ever hurt you your revenge will be so sweet
Because I’m scum
An I’m your son
I’ve come undone

So write another ballad
Mix it on a Wednesday
Sell it on a Thursday
Buy a yacht by Saturday

It’s a love song
A love song
Do another interview
Sing a bunch of lies

Tell about celebrities that I despise
And sing love songs
We sing love songs
So sincere

So sincere
They’re selling razor blades and mirrors in the street
Pray that when I’m coming down you’ll be asleep

If I ever hurt you your revenge will be so sweet
Because I’m scum
I’m your son
I’ve come undone

I’ve come undone
I’ve come undone
I’ve come undone
I am scum

Love your son
I am scum
Love your son

You’ve gotta love my sad song, my love song
My sad song, my love song, my sad song, my love song

Something Beautiful

You can’t manufacture a miracle
The silence was pitiful – that day
And love is getting too cynical

Passion’s just physical – these days
You analyse everyone you meet
But get no sign – the loving kind

Every night you admit defeat
And cry yourself blind
If you can’t wake up in the morning

‘Cause your bed lies vacant at night
If you’re lost, hurt, tired or lonely
Can’t control it – try as you might

May you find that love that won’t leave you
May you find it by the end of the day
You won’t be lost, hurt, tired and lonely

Something beautiful will come your way
The DJ said on the radio
Life should be stereo - each day

And the past that cast the unsuitable
Instead of some kind of beautiful
You just couldn’t wait

All your friends think you’re satisfied
But they can’t see your soul, no, no, no
Forgot the time feeling petrified

When they lived alone
If you can’t wake up in the morning
‘Cause your bed lies vacant at night

If you’re lost, hurt, tired or lonely
Can’t control it – try as you might
May you find that love that won’t leave you

May you find it by the end of the day
You won’t be lost, hurt, tired and lonely
Something beautiful will come your way

(It’ll come your way)
(It’ll come your way) Some kind of beautiful
(It’ll come your way) Some kind of beautiful

(It’ll come your way) Some kind of beautiful
(It’ll come your way)
All your friends think you’re satisfied

But they can’t see your soul, no, no, no
Forgot the time feeling petrified
When they lived alone

If you can’t wake up in the morning
‘Cause your bed lies vacant at night
If you’re lost, hurt, tired or lonely

Can’t control it – try as you might
May you find that love that won’t leave you
May you find it by the end of the day

You won’t be lost, hurt, tired and lonely
Something beautiful will come your way
You won’t be lost, hurt, tired and lonely

Something beautiful will come your way

Love Somebody

Always and forever, is forever young
Your shadow on the pavement, the dark side of the sun
Got a dream the dream all over and sleep it tight

You don’t wanna sing the blues in black and white
And it’s hope that springs eternal for everyone
If it ain’t broke then break it

Oh the damage done
Try and love somebody
Just wanna love somebody right now

There’s just no pleasing me
Try and love somebody
Just wanna love somebody right now

Lady lay your love on me
Violet in the rainbow just melts away
There’s not enough minutes in an hour or hours in the day

A song played in a circle that never skips a beat
A stranger in a country that I have yet to meet
And let’s hope that spring’s eternal for everyone

Your lifetime in a second
All the damage done
Trying to love somebody

Just wanna love somebody right now
Guess there’s just no pleasing me
I wanna love somebody

Just wanna love somebody right now
Lady lay your love on me
It’ll come in your sweet time Lord

I’ve just got to let you in
The blind leading the blind Lord
Getting underneath your skin

I can feel you in the silence
Saying let forever be
Love and only love will set you free

I wanna love somebody
Wanna love somebody right now
There’s just no pleasing me

I wanna love somebody
Just wanna love somebody right now
Lady lay your love on me

It’ll come in your sweet time Lord
I’ve just got to let you in
The blind leading the blind Lord

Getting underneath your skin
I can feel you in the silence
Saying let forever be

Love and only love will set you free

Revolution

Don’t fight the feeling relax
Oh child the knots are in your back
‘Cause you’ve been holding on
I can only feel you when you’re reaching out

I’ll talk you through memories
Just keep breathing with me
It’s time to hold my hand
And walk into the revolution

When there’s no-one to touch
And you’ve been thinking too much
You only hurt yourself when you think
About retribution

I see the pain in your face
And you’re paying rent for the space
It’s time to lead you onto the revolution
When you can’t keep on keeping on

And everything you lean upon is all but gone
Everybody falls sometimes but love shines on
With love in your eyes and a flame in your heart
Gonna find yourself some resolution

A million miles with one step
And you’ll find yourself yet
When you’re walking with the revolution
Love lingers on you’re just feeling it wrong

I know you’re tired but when it’s time to sleep
You’re gone forever
Make friends with your past
Then you can leave it at last

It’s time to find yourself in your revolution
When you can’t keep on keeping on
And everything you lean upon is all but gone
Everybody falls sometimes but love shines on

With love in your eyes and a flame in your heart
Gonna find yourself some resolution
A million miles with one step
And you’ll find yourself yet

When you’re walking with the revolution
Time and tide’s on your side
There’s no need to hide
I feel your pain

Don’t talk to me about evolution
A million miles with one stare
And you’ll find myself there
When I’m walking with the revolution

How Peculiar

I am all of the above babe
Johnny long strokes to the grave

Saving all the stamps and spend it on a kettle
Rub me rub me up right lovely

If you lick it, then lick it battery
Good and properly all night if you want

I haven’t got a clue what to do with you
I need for you to love me so much

Jesus what am I gonna do with this crush
Just get the old fella and whack it up against her tush

How peculiar
Bend your long legs against the sofa

In the Dorchester you can get your all bran
I’m not into hard sports

Oh I haven’t got a clue what to do with you
Jesus all the things my head is going through

God what am I gonna do with this crush
Just whack the old man out and get it up against your Tush

How peculiar
Jesus what am I to do man

I am a depressed man
Not sure what I’m doing all of the day

How peculiar
I am all of the above man
I have what you want man

If you want me here I am
Come and get it baby
Uhh!

One Fine Day

I like to reminisce about a time I’ve never had
A book that no one read
A film that never made me sad
And you remind of a place I’ve never been
And something no one said
When I was 17

One fine day
In the middle of the night
You’ll wake up in it
One fine day
In the middle of the night
But you probably won’t admit it

Remember when we never struggled through
A bad time we never had
A love we never fell into
Please don’t remind me to forget
Cause forgiveness is a place
I ain’t got used to yet

One fine day
In the middle of the night
You’ll wake up in it
One fine day
In the middle of the night
But you probably won’t admit it

All I ever wanted
Was to radiate your home
But I guess it doesn’t matter

So come reminisce about a time we didn’t have
I hear there’s a sequel to that film that never made you sad
Don’t rewrite my history
Cause you’ll never really know
How much you didn’t mean to me

One fine day
In the middle of the night
You’ll wake up in it
One fine day
In the middle of the night
But you probably won’t admit it

Me and My Monkey

There was me and my monkey
And with his dungarees and roller blades smoking filter tips
Reclining in the passenger seat of my super-charged jet black Chevrolet

He had the soft-top down he liked the wind in his face
He said “son you ever been to Vegas?” I said “no”
He said “that’s where we’re gonna go you need a change of pace”

And we hit the strip with all the wedding chapels and the neon signs
He said “I left my wallet in El Segondo” and proceeded to take two grand of mine
We made tracks to The Mandalay Bay Hotel

Asked the bell boy if he’d take me and my monkey as well?
He looked in the passenger seat of my car and with a smile he said
“If your monkey’s got that kind of money sir, then we’ve got a monkey bed!”

Me and my monkey
With a dream and a gun
I’m hoping my monkey don’t point that gun at anyone

Me and my monkey
Like Butch and the Sundance Kid
Trying to understand why he did what he did

Why he did what he did
We got the elevator, I hit the 33rd floor
We had a room up top with the panoramic views like nothing you’d ever seen before

He went to sleep in the bidet and when he awoke
He ran his little monkey fingers through yellow pages
Called up some escort services and ordered some okey doke

Forty minutes later there came a knock at the door
In walked this big bad ass baboon into my bedroom with three monkey whores
“Hi! my name is Sunshine - these are my girls

Lace my palm with silver baby and oh yeah they’ll rock your world”
So I watched pay-per-view and polished my shoes and my gun
Was diggin’ old Kurt Cobain singing ’bout lithium

There came a knock at the door and in walked Sunshine
“What’s up? you’d better get your ass in here boy, your monkey’s having too much of a good time!”
Me and my monkey

Drove in search of the sun
Me and my monkey
Don’t point that gun at anyone

Me and my monkey
Like Billy The Kid
Trying to understand why he did what he did

Why he did what he did
Got tickets to see Sheena Easton, the monkey was high
Said it was a burning ambition to see her before he died

We left before encores, he couldn’t sit still
Sheena was a blast baby but my monkey was ill
We went to play black-jack kept hitting twenty three

Couldn’t help but notice this Mexican just staring at me
Or was it my monkey? I couldn’t be sure
It’s not like you’d never seen a monkey in rollerblades and dungarees before

Now don’t test my patience ‘cause we’re not about to run
That’s a bad ass monkey boy and he’s packing a gun
“My name is Rodriguez”, he says with death in his eye

“I’ve been chasing you for a long time amigos and now your monkey’s gonna die!”
Me and my monkey
Drove in search of the sun

Now me and my monkey
We don’t wanna kill no Mexican
But we’ve got

Ten itchy fingers, one thing to declare
When the monkey is high
You do not stare, you do not stare ..

You do not stare
Look’s like we’ve got ourselves a Mexican stand-off here boy
And I ain’t about to run

Put your gun down boy
How’d I get mixed up with this fuckin’ monkey anyhow

Handsome Man

Hello, did you miss me
I know I’m hard to resist
Y’all can come and help me
Pick the sweetcorn out of this

It’s hard to be humble when you’re so fuckin’ big
Did you ever meet a sexier male chauvinist pig
I’m going to milk it ‘til it turns to cheese
Tell your babes in arms and o.a.p’s come and take

A piece of me
If you drop me
I’ll fall to pieces on ya
If you don’t see me

I don’t exist
It’s nice to meet you
Now let me go and wash my hand
‘Cause you just met the world’s most handsome man

The world’s most
Handsome man
Y’all know who I am
I’m still the boy next door

That’s if you’re Lord Lichfield and Roger Moore
Have I gone up in the world
Or has the world gone down on me
I’m the one who put the Brit in celebrity

Give in and love it, what’s the point in hating me?
You can’t argue with popularity
Well you could but you’d be wrong oh
If you drop me

I’ll fall to pieces on ya
If you don’t need me
I don’t exist
You voted for me

Now let me see a show of hands
Here before you stands the world’s most
Handsome man
Can you make me laugh and sign this autograph

(Though it’s not for me)
Grip and grin, shake and fake, name and shame,
Then I’m out of here
It’s not very complicated

I’m just young and overrated .. whoa ..
Please don’t drop me
I’ll fall to pieces on ya
If you don’t see me

I don’t exist
It’s nice to meet you
Now let me go and wash my hands
Here before you stands

Please don’t drop me
I’ll fall to pieces on ya
If you don’t need me
I don’t exist

It’s nice to meet you, now let me see a show of hands
‘Cause you just met the world’s most handsome man
The world’s most handsome man
The world’s most handsome man

The world’s most handsome man

Nan's Song

You said when you’d die that
you’d walk with me every day
And I’d start to cry and say

please don’t talk that way
With the blink of an eye the Lord
came and asked you to meet

You went to a better place but
He stole you away from me
And now she lives in heaven

But I know they let her out
To take care of me
There’s a strange kind of light

Caressing me tonight
Pray silence my fear she is near
Bringing heaven down here

I miss your love I miss your touch
But I’m feeling you every day
And I can almost hear you say

“You’ve come a long way baby”
And now you live in heaven
But I know they let you out

To take care of me
There’s a strange kind of light
In my bedroom tonight

Pray silence my fear she is near
Bring your heaven down here
You taught me kings and queens

While stroking my hair
In my darkest hour I know you are there
Kneeling down beside me

Whispering my prayer
Yes there’s a strange kind of light
Caressing me tonight

Pray silence my fear
She is near
Bringing heaven down here

The next time that we meet
I will bow at her feet
And say wasn’t life sweet

Then we’ll prepare
To take heaven down there

How Peculiar (Reprise)

I am all of the above babe
Johnny ?? to the grave
?? all the stamps in
Spend it on a kettle

Rub me rub me up right lovely
If you lick it then lick it battery
Good if I believe ??

I haven't got a clue what to do with you
Need for you to love me so much
Jesus what am I going to do with this crush
So get the old fella and wack it up against the touch

How peculiar

Bend your long legs against the sofa and the Dorchester
You can eat your All Bran
I'm not into heart sports

Oh I haven't got a clue what to do with you
Jesus all the things my head is going through
God what am I going to do with this crush
Just wack the old man out and get it up against the touch

How peculiar

Jesus what am I to do man
I am a depressed man
Not sure what I'm doing
All of the day

How peculiar

I am all of the above man
I am what you want man
If you want me here I am
Come and get it baby
