Going Up
Ain't thou watching my film
Analyzing me
Rusty chalk-dust walker
Checking up to see
If we should pull the plugs out
On all history
And all the mystery, yeah
Of things that shouldn't be
Things that couldn't be, no
Things that had to be
Don't you see?
Don't you see?
It's going up, up, up
It's going up
It's going up, up, up
It's going up
Let's get the hell out of here
Let's get the hell out of here
Going up
Going down
D'ya wanna know what's wrong with the world?
Everywhere there's people with no flowers in their hair...

Do It Clean
I've got a handful of this
What do I do with it?
I've got a barrel of this
What do I do with it?
I do it clean
I do it clean
Hey, do it clean
Do it clean, know what I mean
Do it clean
Do it clean, I know what I mean
I mean...
Where am I going?
Where have I been?
Where are you going?
Where have you been?
I've been here
I've been there
I've been here, there, everywhere
Here, there, nowhere
Itzy bitzy witzy witzy everywhere
I've been here and I've been there
I've been...
I had a handful of this
What did I do with it?
I had a barrel of this
What did I do with it?
I did it clean
I did it clean
Hey do it clean
Do it clean, know what I mean
Do it clean
Do it clean, I know what I mean

Stars are Stars
The sky seems full when you're in the cradle
The rain will fall and wash your dreams
Stars are stars and they shine so hard
Now you spit out the sky because it's empty and hollow
All your dreams are hanging out to dry
Stars are stars and they shine so cold
I saw you climb
Shadows on the trees
We lost some time
After things that never matter
I caught that falling star
It cut my hands to pieces
Where did I put that box?
It had my name in it
I saw you climb
Shadows on the trees
We lost some time
After things that never matter
The cogs have clicked and
The clocks will have their say
In the making of a day
You came here late
Go home early
Who'll remember?
Now you've gone away
Gone away
Gone away

Pride
Mother says
Sister says
D'ya mind if I laugh at you?
D'ya mind if I sing with you?
Daddy says
Brother says
Make us proud of you
Do something we can't do
Do it
John waits
Barry hates
They think I'm headed for a fall
They hope I'm headed for a fall
Peter says
Julie says
I think it's time you stop stalling
We think it's time you start falling
Fall

Monkeys
I bagsy yours
If you bagsy mine
I'll take a chance
If you'll take the blame
Forget it
Forget it
Keymon-keymon
Boys are the same
Brains in their pocket
Girls are the same
Knock it and rock it
Remember
Remember
Keymon-keymon
I'm not a holy man
I'm too lowly for that
I'm not a praying man
I'm not ready for that
Keymon-keymon

Crocodiles
I read it in a magazine
I don't wanna see it again
I threw away the magazine
And looked for someone to explain
I don't wanna look back
I can't look 'round
I don't wanna see it coming 'round
Listen to the ups and downs
Listen to the sound they make
Don't be scared when it gets loud
When your skin begins to shake
'Cos you don't wanna look back
You gotta look tall
Gotta see those creeps crawl
I know you know
I know you know
Well I can see you've got the blues
In your alligator shoes
Me I'm all smiles
I've got my crocodiles
I don't wanna look back
I can't turn 'round
I don't wanna see it coming down
Met someone just the other day
He said wait until tomorrow
I said hey, whatcha doing today?
He said I'm gonna do it tomorrow

Rescue
If I said I'd lost my way
Would you sympathize?
Could you sympathize?
I'm jumbled up
Maybe I'm losing my touch
I'm jumbled up
Maybe I'm losing my touch
But you know I didn't have it anyway
Won't you come on down to my
Won't you come on down to my
Rescue
Things are wrong
Things are going wrong
Can you tell that in a song?
I don't know what I want anymore
First I want a kiss and then I want it all
Won't you come on down to my
Won't you come on down to my
Rescue
Things are wrong
Things are going wrong
Can you tell that in a song?
Losing sense of those harder things
Is this the blues I'm singing?....

Villiers Terrace
I've been up to Villiers Terrace
To see what's-a-happenin'
There's people rolling 'round on the carpet
Mixing up the medicine
I've been up to Villiers Terrace
I saw what's-a-happenin'
People rolling 'round on the carpet
Biting wool and pulling string
You said people rolled on carpet
But I never thought they'd do those things
I've been up to Villiers Terrace
I've been in a daze for days
I drank some of the medicine
And I didn't like the taste
I've been up to Villiers Terrace
I've been in a daze for days
People rolling 'round on your carpet
Biting wool and pulling string
You said people rolled on carpet
But I never thought they'd do those things
Been up to Villiers Terrace
To see what's-a-happenin'
There's people rolling 'round on the carpet
Passing 'round the medicine
Been up to Villiers Terrace
I saw what's-a-happenin'
People rolling 'round on my carpet
Biting wool and pulling string
You said people rolled on carpet, boys
But I never thought they'd do those things

Read It in Books
You said you couldn't find anyone to love ya
I said there's more to life than a broken heart
Did it console ya?
I've seen it in your eyes
And I've read it in books
Who wants love
Without the looks?
You know the word is please
You say it from your knees
Show some respect
Hey baby, genuflect
Once I like crying, twice I like laughter
Come on tell me what I'm after
I said you gotta stop chasing rainbows
You said I'm just staying up
And anyway I like it when the rain goes
I've seen it in your eyes
I've read it in books
Who wants love
Without the looks?
Once I like crying, twice I like laughter
Come on tell me what I'm after
There's not that much to us
I hide the little with the lot
You still expect a loving fuss
After showing all you've got
I've seen it in your eyes
I've read it in books
Who wants love
Without the looks?
That's all

The Pictures on My Wall
Can you hear it?
The sound of something burning
Something changing
On the merry-go-round tonight
The pictures on my wall
Are about to swing and fall
Love it all
Love it all
Ooh, we should have
Should have got it right
Ooh, we should have
Should have got it right tonight
People come, I count everyone
Faces burning
Hearts beating
Nowhere left for us to run
The pictures on my wall
Are about to swing and fall
Love it all
Love it all
Ooh, we should have
Should have got it right
Ooh, we should have
Should have got it right tonight
Can you hear it?
The sound of someone thinking
Someone thinking
On the merry-go-round tonight
The pictures on my wall
Are about to swing and fall
Love it all
Don't you just love it
All

All That Jazz
Where the hell have you been?
We've been waiting with our best suits on
Hair slicked back and all that jazz
Rolling down the Union Jack
See you at the barricades, babe
See you when the lights go low, Joe
Hear you when the wheels turn 'round
Someday when the sky turns black
It appeals because it's what I feel
I know I don't understand
If you ask you know I don't mind kneeling
But when my knees hurt I like to stand
Instinct is the common law, y'all
A million years won't erase
Strike that chord I'm searching for
Call it a committed race
No matter how I shake my fist
I know I can't resist it
No matter how you shake your fist
You know you can't resist it
See you at the barricades, babe
See you when the lights go low, Joe
Hear you when the wheels turn 'round
Someday when the sky turns black

Happy Death Men
Happy death men stand in lines
Happy death men
Happy death men polish and shine
Happy death men
Happy death men
The last breath men
Happy death men
Take 'em to your heart
Happy death men
No regret men
Happy death men
Like to keep things dark
Happy death men stand in lines
Happy death men
Happy death men polish and shine
Happy death men
Happy death men
The last-breath men
Happy death men
Take 'em to your heart
Happy death men
No regret men
Happy death men
Like to keep things dark
Okay
Here we go...
