Show of Strength
Realistically
It's hard to dig it all too happily
But I can see
It's not always that real to me
A funny thing
It's always a funny thing
And those sadly things
Just get in the way
Open to suggestion
Falling over questions
Hopefully
But that's as well as maybe
A shaken hand
Won't transmit all fidelity
Your golden smile
Would shame a politician
Typically
I'll apologize next time
Bonds will break and fade
A snapping all in two
The lies that bind and tie
Come sailing out of you
Realistically
Hard to dig it all too happily
But I can see
Not always that real to me
A funny thing
Is always a funny thing
And those sadly things
It's always a sadly thing
Bonds will break and fade
A snapping all in two
The lies that bind and tie
Come sailing out of you
A show of strength
Is all you want
You can never set it down
Guts and passion
Those things you can't
Even set down
All those things
You think might count
You can never set them down
Don't ever set them down
Never set them down
Hey I came in right on cue
One is me and one is you
Hey I came in
Right on cue
One is me
And one
Is
You

With a Hip
Halt
Nobody's allowed
Strictly verboten
Out out out out
Bounds
Of course we know no bounds
Until, at least, and then
Trespass all the way down
They got it
And I want some
I can handle it
And I want some
Relax
Feel the pleasure inside
Error and trial
Collide, collide
You'll listen
I don't expect you to
We've lost
And something's all we can do
With a hip-hip-hop
And a flip-flap-flop
Gonna steal some bananas
From the grocer's shop
With your head in the clouds
And your trousers undone
Gonna shit on the carpet
Just like everyone
This is the one for the money
This is the one for the trees
This is the one called Heaven
And this is the one for me
You've yet to discover
Discover the difference
The difference between
The moral and motto
They've got it
And I had some
I couldn't handle it
But I had some
Hold it in the light and see right through it
For God's sake make a decision
Take it for a walk and hold it hold it
Pin it on the wall and fasten onto
Move into the bathroom oh yes oh yes
Do what must be done and don't say maybe
This is the one for the money
This is the one for the trees
This is the one called Heaven
And this is the one for me

Over the Wall
The man at the back has a question
His tongue's involved with solutions
But the monkey on my back
Won't stop laughing
Over the wall
Hand in hand
Over the wall
Watch us fall
There's something to be said for you
And your hopes of higher ruling
But the slug on my neck
Won't stop chewing
Over the wall
Hand in hand
Over the wall
Watch us fall
I'm walking in the rain
To end this misery
I'm walking in the rain
To celebrate this misery
What's that you say?
Speak up I can't hear
What did you say?
I couldn't hear
Over the wall
Hand In hand
Over the wall
Watch us fall
Pounding the road
Coast to coast
Pounding the road
Coast to coast
Come over the wall...
I can't sleep at night
How I wish you'd hold me tight
I can't sleep at night
Come on and hold me tight...
Hold me tight
To the logical limit...

It Was a Pleasure
Let's get rid of the shit
I know you like that, too
The stuff that undermines
The best of me and you
It was a pleasure to meet you
You slapped me right on the back
Just a pleasure to meet you
You got it almost exact
No discussion now
No bad dreams now
No reason now
No excuses now
If I knock it all back
Just like you said I do
Would it confirm the suspect?
The suspicion will do
It was a pleasure to meet you
You slapped me right on the back
Just a pleasure to meet you
You got it almost exact
No discussion now
No allusion now
No dilution now
No excuses now
Let's get rid of the shit
I know you like that, too
The stuff that undermines
The best of me and you
Failure to do so will result in the failure
Failure to do so will result in the failure

A Promise
You said something will change
We were all dressed up
Somewhere to go
No sign of rain
But something will change
You promised
You said nothing will change
We were almost near
Almost far
Down came the rain
But nothing will change
You promised
A promise...
It's exactly the same
You said it's always the same
But I'll make it change
Into something the same
I promise
A promise...
Light
On the waves...
A promise...
There's light on the water
We could sail on forever...

Heaven up Here
Where are you now?
We're over here
We've got those empty pockets
And we can't afford the beer
We're smoking holes
And we've got only dreams
And we're so damn drunk
We can't see to steer
The applecart upset my head's little brain
This little moon in the sky upset my head's little brain
I saw, yippee, I did, I swear
Walking through the hallway
Crawling on the stairs
Abebe baby....Bekila
I'm giving up on whiskey
Taking up with tequila
I'm on my own in my blind alley
I turn myself around so it's swallowing me
Groovy groovy people
We're all
Groovy groovy people...
F-F-Faustus
You've got nothing to fear
It may be hell down there
'Cos it's Heaven up here
I'd have given forever
For a few good years
But too much of a muchness
Is too much you hear?
The hammer on my chest was an abominable pain
The anvil on my belly was an abdominal strain
You got the bottle
Gonna take the bottle
Gonna take a sip

The Disease
My life's the disease
That could always change
With comparative ease
Just given the chance
My life is the earth
'Twixt muscle and spade
We wait for the worth
Digging for just one chance
As prospects diminish
As nightmares swell
Some pray for Heaven while
We live in hell
My life's the disease
My life's the disease
If you get yours
From Heaven
Don't waste them...

All My Colours (Zimbo)
Flying
And I know I'm not coming down
You're trying
But you know you must soon go down
All my colours turn to clouds
All my colours turn to clouds
Zimbo...
What d'you say
When your heart's in pieces?
How d'you play
Those cards in sequence?
That box you gave me burned nicely
That box you gave me burned nicely
Zimbo...
Flying down
Flying down
All my colours turn to clouds...
Hey, I've flown away
Hey, I'm blown away

No Dark Things
I like it
My hands clean
No head shaved
It's quite safe
Compromise
Discovery
It's just an
It's only
Oh my god
Oh you misconstrue all
The tactics
You must learn
To distinguish error
From my bait
Really don't think it's funny
But he's beginning to accept the facts
Into the middle of the floor
You walked over
In the middle of the wall
The picture was still hanging
From the corner of my eye
You stick the pins in
In the middle of the floor
I fell over
We have no dark things
Nothing to hide or that
Just some heads and a wish
Something to sing about
We have no dark things
Nothing to hide or that
Just some heads and a wish
Something to scream about
No dark things
No dark things...

Turquoise Days
Just when the thought occurs the panic will pass
And the smell of the fields never lasts
Put your faith in those crimson nights
Set sail in those turquoise days
We've got a problem
Come on over
We got a problem
Come on over
It's not for glory, it's not for honor
Just something someone said
It's not for love, it's not for war
Just hands clasped together
It's not for living, it's not for hunger
Just lips locked tight
It's not rebellion, it's not suffering
It's just the way it is
And my pistols packed
And my God goes with me
I fell easy
And I want it
And I need it
And I've got it
It's not for this, it's not for that
It's not any of it
Did you say knowledge?
Did you say prayer?
Did you say anything?
If not for good
If not for better
If not the way it is
Just when the thought occurs the panic will pass
And the smell of the fields never lasts
We'll place our faith in those crimson nights
Set sail in those turquoise days
Place your faith in those crimson nights
Set sail in those turquoise days
You've got a problem?
Come on over
You've got a problem?
Come on over
Now I think I know just what to say....

All I Want
I began to feel so bad
Waking up laughing so rare
Up and down and down the stairs
Set myself up in the chair
And said all I love
Is all I love
All I want
Is all I want
If we make
The same mistake
Who could we blame?
When we make
The same mistake
Who will we blame?
What will we blame?
We blame all I love
All I love
All we want
All we want
I had a helpful discussion
I had to sleep in a chair
I laid my head on a cushion
Because it was there
Up and down and down the stairs
Set myself up in the chair
And said all I love
All I love
All I want
Is all I want
Got the hands
To hold the key...
