Old Before I Die
She's taking me places
I should never have been
She's showin' me faces
I should never have seen
Well these are strange days
We're livin' in today
C'est la vie I say
I hope I'm old
Before I die
I hope I live to relive
The days gone by
I hope I'm old before I die
But tonight I'm gonna
Live for today
So come along for the ride
I hope I'm old Before I die
She's not feeling stable
She's unable to breathe
Her heart's beating faster
So I'll ask her to leave
These are strange days
We're livin' in today
Am I straight or gay?
I hope I'm old
Before I die
I hope I live to see the day
The Pope gets high
I hope I'm old before I die
But tonight I'm gonna
Live for today
So come along for the ride
I hope I'm old Before I die
Well these are strange days
We're livin' in today
C'est la vie I say, I say, I say
I hope I'm old Before I die
I hope I live to relive
The days gone by
I hope I'm old before I die
But tonight I'm gonna
Live for today
So come along for the ride
I hope I'm old
Before I die
I hope I'm old before
Old Before I die
Old before
Old Before I die
Old before I die
Angels
I sit and wait
Does an angel contemplate my fate
And do they know
The places where we go
When we're grey and old
'cos I've been told
That salvation lets their wings unfold
So when I'm lying in my bed
Thoughts running through my head
And I feel that love is dead
I'm loving angels instead
And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Wether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call she won't forsake me
I'm loving angels instead
When I'm feeling weak
And my pain walks down a one way street
I look above
And I know I'll always be blessed with love
And as the feeling grows
She breathes flesh to my bones
And when love is dead
I'm loving angels instead
And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Wether I'm right or wrong
And downt he water fall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call she won't forsake me
I'm loving angels instead
Lazy Days
Lazy days calling to you
Come out to play
The future lies with you
Now you can be sure love is the cure
What we're searching for
Is to have a jolly good time
Crazy days but you'll get me through
And here I'll stay holdin' on to you
Now you can be sure
Our thoughts unpure
Will unlock the door
And we will have a jolly good time
It can happen in any season
We don't need any reason
To sit around and wait
The world can change in a second so
I find the sunshine beckons me
To open up the gate
And dream and dream
Lazy days don't let them get you down
Wear your smile
I don't want to see you frown
Don't let them get you down
It can happen in any season
We don't need any reason
To sit around and wait
The world can change in a second so
I find the sunshine beckons me
To open up the gate
And dream and dream
Then we will have a jolly good time
Let Me Entertain You
Hell is gone and heaven's here
There's nothing left for you to fear
Shake your arse come over here
Now scream
I'm a burning effigy
Of everything I used to be
You're my rock of empathy, my dear
So come on let me entertain you
Let me entertain you
Life's too short for you to die
So grab yourself an alibi
Heaven knows your mother lied Mon cher
Separate your right from wrongs
Come and sing a different song
The kettle's on so don't be long Mon cher
So come on let me entertain you
Let me entertain you
Look me up in the yellow pages
I will be your rock of ages
Your see through fads and your crazy phases yeah
Little Bo Peet has lost his sheep
He popped a pill and fell asleep
The dew is wet but the grass is sweet my dear
Your mind gets burned
With the habits you've learved
But we're the generation that's got to be heard
You're tired of your teachers and you school's a drag
You're not going to end up like your mum and dad
So come on let me entertain you
Let me entertain you
Let me entertain you
He may be good he may be outta sight
But he can't be here so come around tonight
Here is the place where the feeling grows
You gotta get high before you taste the lows
So come on
Let me entertain you
Let me entertain you
So come on let me entertain you
Let me entertain you
Come on come on come on come on
Come on come on come on come on
Come on come on come on come on
Millennium
We've got stars directing our faith
and we're praying that we're not too late
Cos we know we're falling from grace
Millennium
Some say that we are players
Some say that we are pawns
But we've been making money
since the day that we were born
Got to slow down
'cos we're low down
We've got stars directing our faith
and we're praying that we're not too late
Cos we know we're falling from grace
Millennium
Live for liposuction
and detox for your rent
overdose at Christmas and give it up for Lent
My friends are all so cynical,
refuse to keep the faith
We all enjoy the madness cos
we know we're gonna fade away
We've got stars directing our faith
and we're praying that we're not too late
Cos we know we're falling from grace
Millennium
Come and have a go if
you think you're hard enough
Come and have a go if
you think you're hard enough
Millennium
Millennium
Sometimes you know
And when we come we come too late
I often think that we were born to hate
Get up and see the sarcasm in my eyes
And when we come we always come too late
I often think that we were born to hate
Get up and see the sarcasm in my eyes
We've got stars directing our faith
Millennium
and we're praying that we're not too late
Millennium
Cos we know we're falling from grace
And we won't stop
We've got stars.......
No Regrets
Tell me a story
Where we all change
And we'd live our lives together
And not estranged
I didn't lose my mind it was
Mine to give away
Couldn't stay to watch me cry
You didn't have the time
So I softly slip away..
No regrets/ they don't work
No regrets now / they only hurt
Sing me a love song
Drop me a line
Suppose it's just a point of view
But they tell me I'm doing find
I know from the outside
We looked good for each other
Felt things were going wrong
When you didn't like my mother
I don't want to hate but that's
All you've left me with
A bitter aftertaste and a fantasy of
How we all could live
No regrets/ they don't work
No regrets now / they only hurt
Sing me a love song
Drop me a line
Suppose it's just a point of view
But they tell me I'm doing find
[Return the videos they're late]
If I could just stop hating you
[Goodbye]
I'd feel sorry for us instead
Remember the photographs (insane)
The ones where we all laugh (so lame)
We were having the time of our lives
Well thank you it was a real blast
No regrets/ they don't work
No regrets now / they only hurt
Sing me a love song
Drop me a line
Suppose it's just a point of view
But they tell me I'm doing find
Everything I wanted to be every
Time I walked away
Every time you told me to leave
I just wanted to stay
Every time you looked at me and
Every time you smiled
I felt so vacant you treat me like a child
I loved the way we used to laugh
I loved the way we used to smile
Often I sit down and think of you For a while
Then it passes me by
and I think of Someone else instead
I guess the love we once had is
Officially dead
Strong
My breath smells of a thousand fags
And when I'm drunk I dance like me Dad
I've started to dress a bit like him
Early morning when I wake up
I look like Kiss but without the make up
And that's a good line to take it to the bridge
And you know and you know
'cause my life's a mess
And I'm trying to grow
So before I'm old I'll confess
You think that I'm strong you're wrong
You're wrong
I'll sing my song my song my song
My bed's full of takeaways and fantasies
Of easy lays
The pause button's broke on my video
And is this real 'cause I feel fake
Oprah Winfrey 'n Rikki Lake
Teach me things I don't need to know
And you know and you know
'cause my life's a mess
And I'm trying to grow
So before I'm old I'll confess
You think that I'm strong you're wrong
You're wrong
I'll sing my song my song my song
If I did it all again I'd be a nun
The rain was never cold when I was young
I'm still young
We're still young
Life's too short to be afraid
Step inside the sun
And you know and you know
'cause my life's a mess
And I'm trying to grow
And you know and you know
'cause my life's a mess
And I'm trying to grow
And you know and you know
'cause my life's a mess
And I'm trying to grow
You think that I'm strong you're wrong
You're wrong
I'll sing my song my song my song
You think that I'm strong you're wrong
You're wrong
I'll sing my song my song my song
Life's too short to be afraid
So take a pill to numb the pain
You don't have to take the blame
Life's too short to be afraid
So take a pill to numb the pain
You don't have to take the blame
Life's too short to be afraid
So take a pill to numb the pain
You don't have to take the blame

And you know the things you wanna know
You're smiling
When you said what you wanna say
And you know the way you wanna play

You'll be so high you'll be flying
Though the sea will be strong
I know we'll carry on
'Cos if there's somebody calling me on
She's the one
If there's somebody calling me on

When you get to where you wanna go
And you know the things you wanna know
You're smiling
When you said what you wanna say

If there's somebody calling me on
She's the one

If there's somebody calling me on
She's the one
Rock DJ
Me with the floorshow
Kickin' with your torso
Boys getting high
And the girls even more so
Wave your hands if
you're not with the man
Can I kick it (yes you can)
I got (funk)
You got (soul)
We got everybody
I've got the gift
Gonna stick it in the goal
It's time to move your body
Babylon back in business
Can I get a witness
Every girl every man
Houston can you hear me
Ground-control can you feel me
Need permission to land
I don't wanna rock, DJ
But you're making me feel so nice
When's it gonna stop, DJ
Cause you're keepin' me up all night
Singin' in the classes
Music for your masses
Give no head
No backstage passes
Have a proper giggle
I'll be quite polite
But when I rock the mike
I rock the mike (right)
You got no love then
you're with the wrong man
It's time to move your body
If you can't get a girl but
your best friend can
It's time to move your body
I don't wanna be sleazy
Baby just tease me
Got no family planned
Houston can you hear me
Ground-control can you feel me
Need permission to land
I don't wanna rock, DJ
But you're making me feel so nice
When's it gonna stop, DJ
Cause you're keepin' me up all night

But you're making me feel so nice
When's it gonna stop, DJ
Cause you're keepin' me up all night

But if you're sellin' it

'Cause you're keepin' me up all night
Kids

Me smoke heavy tar
Me be groovin' slowly where you are
Notify your next of kin
'Cause you're never coming back
I've been dropping beats since Back in Black
And we'll paint by numbers
'Til something sticks
Don't mind doing it for the kids
(So come on) jump on board
Take a ride (yeah)
(You'll be doin' it all right)
Jump on board feel the high
'Cause the kids are alright
You've got a reputation
Well I guess that can be explored
You're dancing with the chairman of the board
Take a ride on my twelve cylinder symphony
But if you got other plans
The purpose of a woman is to love her man
And we'll paint by numbers
'Til something sticks
Don't mind doing it for the kids
(So come on) jump on board
Take a ride (yeah)

I didn't mean to get so high
I couldn't do what I wanted to do
When my lips were dry
You can't just up and leave me

You're not my bag
Jump on board

I'm an honorary Sean Connery, born '74
There's only one of me
Single-handedly raising the economy
Ain't no chance of the
record company dropping me
Press be asking do I care for sodomy
I don't know, yeah, probably
I've been looking for serial monogamy
Not some bird that looks like Billy Connolly
But for now I'm down for ornithology
Grab your binoculars, come follow me
Supreme
Oh it seemed forever stopped today
All the lonely hearts in London
Caught a plane and flew away
And all the best women are married
All the handsome men are gay
You feel deprived
Yeah are you questioning your size?
Is there a tumour in your humour,
Are there bags under your eyes?
Do you leave dents where you sit,
Are you getting on a bit?
Will you survive
You must survive
When there's no love in town
This new century keeps bringing you down
All the places you have been
Trying to find a love supreme
A love supreme
Oh what are you really looking for?
Another partner in your life to
abuse and to adore?
Is it lovey dovey stuff,
Do you need a bit of rough?
Get on your knees
Yeah turn down the love
songs that you hear
'Cause you can't avoid the sentiment
That echoes in your ear
Saying love will stop the pain
Saying love will kill the fear
Do you believe
You must believe
When there's no love in town
This new century keeps bringing you down
All the places you have been
Trying to find a love supreme
A love supreme
I spy with my little eye
Something beginning with (ah)
Got my back up
And now she's screaming
So I've got to turn the track up
Sit back and watch the royalties stack up
I know this girl she likes
to switch teams
And I'm a fiend but I'm
living for a love supreme
When there's no love in town
This new century keeps bringing you down
All the places you have been
Trying to find a love supreme
A love supreme
Come and live a love supreme
Don't let it get you down
Everybody lives for love
[Repeat...]
Let Love Be Your Energy
Out of a million seeds
Only the strongest one breathes
You made a miracle mother
I'll make a man out of me
Daddy where's the sun gone from the sky?
What did we do wrong, why did it die?
And all the grown ups say 'sorry
kids we got no reply'
If you're willing to change the world
Let love be your energy
I've got more than I need
When your love shines down on me
Every tear that you cry
Will be replaced when you die
Why don't you love your brother?
Are you out of your mind?
Daddy where's the sun gone from the sky
What did we do wrong, why did it die
And if you've got no love for me
then I'll say goodbye
If you're willing to change the world
Let love be your energy
I've got more than I need
When your love shines down on me
If you're willing to change the world
Let love be your energy
I can't contain how I feel
When your love shines down on me
Well if you want it come and make a stance
So when it's in your hands
People show me love
Well if you want it come and make a stance
So when it's in your hands
People show me love
If you're willing to change the world
Let love be your energy
I got more than I need
When your love shines down on me
If you're willing to change the world
Let love be your energy
I can't contain how I feel
When your love shines down on me
Eternity
Close your eyes so you don't feel them
They don't need to see you cry
I can't promise I will heal you
But if you want to I will try
To sing this summer serenade
The past is done we've been betrayed
It's true
Some might say the truth will out
But I believe without a doubt in you
You were there for summer dreaming
And you gave me what I need
And I hope you find your freedom
For eternity, for eternity
Yesterday when we were walking
You talked about your mum and dad
What they did that made you happy
What they did that made you sad
We sat and watched the sun go down
Then picked a star before we lost the moon
Youth is wasted on the young
Before you know it's come and gone too soon
You were there for summer dreaming
And you gave me what I need
And I hope you find your freedom
For eternity
For eternity
You were there for summer dreaming
And you are a friend indeed
And I hope you find your freedom
Eventually
The Road To Mandalay
Save me from drowning in the sea
Beat me up on the beach
What a lovely holiday
There's nothing funny left to say
This sombre song would drain the sun
But it won't shine until it's sung
No water running in the stream
The saddest place we've ever been
Everything I touched was golden
Everything I loved got broken
On the road to Mandalay
Every mistake I've ever made
Has been rehashed and then replayed
As I got lost along the way
There's nothing left for you to give
The truth is all that you're left with
Twenty paces then at dawn
We will die and be reborn
I like to sleep beneath the trees
Have the universe at one with me
Look down the barrel of a gun
And feel the Moon replace the Sun
Everything we've ever stolen
Has been lost returned or broken
No more dragons left to slay
Every mistake I've ever made
Has been rehashed and then replayed
As I got lost along the way
Save me from drowning in the sea
Beat me up on the beach
What a lovely holiday
There's nothing funny left to say
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
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
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

Trying to be misunderstood
But it doesn´t do me any good
Love the way they smiled at me
Held their face for eternity
Now let them all fly off
When it comes down
It all comes down
And you will not be found
When it´s over
It´s all over
Even if I make a sound
I´ll be misunderstood
By the beautiful and good
In this city
None of it was planned
Take me by the hand
Just don´t try and understand
Trying to be misunderstood
Just a product of my childhood
And still I find myself outside
You can´t say I haven´t tried
Perhaps I tried too hard
No excuses
I won´t apologise
Or justified your lies
Come and find me
Tell them to me
Look me in the eyes
I´ll be misunderstood
By the beautiful and good
In this city
None of this was planned
Take me by the hand
Just don´t try and understand
Can´t forgive – sorry to say
You don´t know you´re guilty anyway
Isn´t it funny how we don´t speak
The language of love |
