U.V. (Wakeman) 3.07
Stacy
has informed me that
The 60's borrowed 20's fashion
I've lost all sense of city taste
I'll pick out all my favorite garms
And wear them with the tightest passion
I've lost the feeling in my face
The
jeweller blew me away
With his demands of green
To circle fingers in gold
I'll need a man less mean
I'm
leaving pink for UV to see
(for UV to see)
Getting
into flowers it seems
Birds a current living hobby
I needn't dress for the wild of life
It's pointless to compete with petals
Collars flapping, never take off
So de-wing with my pocket knife
The
jeweller blew me away
With his demands of green
To circle fingers in gold
I'll need a man less mean
I'm
leaving pink for UV to see
(for UV to see)
The

Yeah Yeah (Kennedy) 3.17
Step
outside the house and
leg it into town
It's snowing now the air is growing cold
I rubbed the dirt and stared in through the windowpane
I almost lost my mind, ooh yeah
They take you home and show you the street
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Got a lot of places where your friends all meet
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
And I don't care If you got long hair
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Your mum's alright when she's out of the fight
She says you is mine
But I don't know that's right
Go
into the public house and drink them blind
Get kicked
out and wake up in the road
When I
peered inside with my binoculars
I almost
lost my mind, ooh yeah
They
take you home and show you the street
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Got a lot of places where your friends all meet
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
And I don't care if you got long hair
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Your mum's alright when she's out of the fight
She says you is mine but I don't know that's right

Written by a Man (van der Vlugt) 5.14
Get
a boy with a toy
He'll never cease to amaze you
And every time he makes you smile
He'll never cease to please you
So get a boy as a toy
He'll never cease to amaze you
And every time he makes you smile
He'll never cease to please you
And when he leaves you, having pleased you
He'll never cease to move you
Now when he calls at your door
He'll never cease to lose you
He
was written by a man
Come and get it if you can
He was written by a man
On the side of a far grand grander plan
He was written by a man
Come and get it if you can
If you wanna play then play it safe
Into his hand of this man, and his plan
Get
a boy plus a toy
He'll never cease to amaze you
And
when he smiles he takes his time
He'll never cease to please you
And when he leaves you having pleased you
He'll never cease to move you
Now all the time he gets annoyed
Find someone who loves you
So never mind if you find
That he's walked out on you
Now when he calls at your door
He'll never cease to lose you
He
was written by a man
Come and get it if you can
He was written by a man
On the side of a far grand grander plan
He was written by a man
Come and get it if you can
On the count of eight let's participate
Oh with this man, and his plan
He
was written by a man
Come and get it if you can
He was written by a man
On the side of a far grand grander plan
He was written by a man
Come and get it if you can
If you wanna play then play it safe
Into his hands of this man, and his...
Broken Bird (Wakeman) 2.36
The
backroom card game under smoky mobiles
The lift attendant who's been riding for miles
Safari season is upon us once more
The lion's share to the man by the door
She
twists her body like a broken bird
And staggers to the lift without a single word
Her
taking leave the spinning room
Leaves rain unwatched under eyeing moon
In third floor peace dwelling on her fate
She dents the side of the bed with her sparrow weight
She
twists her body like a broken bird
And cranes her neck down slowly to water
As
luck would have it she desired that man
So
she threw away hearts to weaken her hand
The winner in a grey suit fills the frame
Unaware that she's still playing her game
She
twists her body like a broken bird
As waves roll up the shore and break softly
As waves roll up the shore and break softly
Wanna be Free (Kennedy) 4.49
And
you say that you wanna be free
But you can't cos you're looking at me
Hold you tight in my arms and you'll see
I am the one
Awake
in sweat, the air is hot and thick
And the pillow's wet, I'm feeling kind of sick
You're lying there alive and breathing deep
(Alive and breathing deep)
Your frown is tight - you've been thinking in your sleep
(Thinking in your sleep)
And
you say that you wanna be free
But you can't cos you're looking at me
Hold you tight in my arms and you'll see
I am the one
I'll
hold you down with promises and threats
Remind you how it was when we first met
Let's take a boat to the dark side of the lake
(Dark side of the lake)
And share a joke cos there's music in the trees
(Music in the trees)
And
you say that you wanna be free
But you can't cos you're looking at me
Hold you tight in my arms and you'll see
I am the one
I
was the one - the oyster to your perl
I've loved you more than a thousand other girls
So we'll sing our song - it's been haunting us for years
(Haunting us for years)
Spin me to the sun and we'll kiss the world our cheers
(Cheers)
And
you say that you wanna be free
But you can't cos you're looking at me
Ho.. hold you tight in my arms and you'll see
I am the one
A Size More Woman than Her (van der Vlugt) 3.24
It's
a magical phase I'm going through
But it means so little without you
Hold my hand and we'll feel better
Let's go outside as the sky goes redder
Other girls don't do it this way
And you knew it otherwise why would you have stayed
All the things that the world keeps bringing
they're very nice but they just mean nothing
Oh
- I loved you so
But know I'm back on my feet
My life is really sweet
So don't come begging for more
Cause all I'll do is slam the door
No,
no, no, no - you've sunk too low
She's got a wardrobe to please
Thinks you're the bee's knees
And she may have a pretty purr
But I'm a size more woman than her
It's a magical phase I'm going through
Never been so happy without you
Her eyes are blue, but her lipstick's fading
Her teeth are nice, but her skin is jaded
She's got a front, but I'll tell you this much
Underneath is a token cleavage
Got to steer round her lips while kissing
And that's no joke cause her lips are missing
Oh
- I wish you'd go
After all, you've got a girl
But now you know full well
That she can't even count to three
So who's sorry now, well not me
Oh,
oh, oh, oh - I wish she'd go
She's got a taster for you
Loves all that you do
But you can't rest your head in her curves
Cause I'm a size more woman than her
Cardboy King (Wakeman) 3.37
Wait
until the caller ends
The conversation with his mother
Then take his place inside the box
And plaster one wall then the other
Pictures do the work of words
Adverts for the modern lover
He's
the cardboy king and he's
Distributing as always
The girls can stay indoors
And then he visits them in turn
Take
a daily risk of up to a grand
And half as much again
He's mapped out his career of sorts
But going nowhere
No matter how many men
Will his heart shack up with
Any of Polly, Tanya Kim or Pen? Dear old Pen
[Chorus]
Messing
up the BT decor
Till they've fallen on the floor
Messing up the BT decor
Till they've fallen on the floor
It
doesn't go down popular
With the generation libido-free
Catch him in the act and they will
Throw him over their collective knee
But seeing wrinkle echo wrinkle
Wouldn't that be lovely? Lovely!
[Chorus]
He's
the cardboy king
And he's distributing as always
Always distributing
He's
the cardboy king
And he's distributing as always
The girls can stay indoors
Namedrops (Kennedy) 3.51
You
don't even know your name
You get on a bicycle and bend the frame
Samson in a cage
Gave him some wine and Danish
Man, was he depraved
Raindrops, teardrops
Give me some real food
Like out on the balcony
Hamish in a den
Now that I'm seventeen
He must be ten
You
don't seem to love me any more
I gave you my word of honour
You sprinkled your path with gravel
Angels fell from the sky
You
don't even know your name
You get on a bicycle, I get on a plane
Namedrops on a hill
Perhaps in a distant valley
They'll be still
You
don't seem to love me any more
I gave you my word of honour
You sprinkled your path with gravel
Angels fell from the sky
You
don't seem to love me any more
I gave you my word of honour
You sprinkled your path with gravel
Angels fell from the sky
Namedrops
on a hill
Perhaps in a distant valley
They'll be still
Foreign Cow (van der Vlugt) 3.22
So
she waltzes by, her sky is as high as sky
The apple of her eye, she doesn't even trrrr..ry
She
knows she's a foreign cow, she knows it... and how
She's knows she's a foreign cow, she knows it and how
You
give them shit and they take it
Spend a little energy just for kicks
But remember for a second that
you're not Bill Hicks
Give
a little bit, you know there's time for it
Give a little bit, you know you want it
Give a little bit
You know you're gonna be sick
Of slapping everyone around
Freedom
is the key
Just how free do you wanna be?
She's taken it too far
Now she wants a bigger c..c..ca..car!
She
knows she's a foreign cow, she knows it... and how
She's knows she's a foreign cow, she knows it and how
Royalty
doesn't make you sound
Spend a little money on a house in town
Don't you know your face is ugly when you pull that frown?
Give
a little bit, you know there's time for it
Give a little bit, you know you want it
Give a little bit
You know you're gonna be sick
Of slapping everyone around
Slapping everyone around
I
want a piece of that pie
And no-one's gonna take it away
And if you cross my path
You know I'm gonna hate you
You know I'm gonna hate you all day
Give
a little bit, you know there's time for it
Give a little bit, you know you want it
Give a little bit
You know you're gonna be sick
Of slapping everyone around
Slapping everyone around
Slapping everyone around
Terrible Day (Kennedy) 2.37
It's
a terrible day for you
Cos he's left you feeling blue
All alone, all alone, all alone
You're all alone
All alone, all alone, all alone
The seeds are sown
Well
the seeds are sown
Of discontent
And you've washed your hands of the incident
Washed your hands
It's a terrible day for you
Cos
he's run away with someone new
All alone, all alone, all alone
You're all alone
All alone, all alone, all alone
The seeds are sown
Well
the seeds are sown
Of discontent
And you've put your bedsit up for rent
Up for rent
All
alone, all alone, all alone
You're all alone
All alone, all alone, all alone
Your hopes have flown
Yeah your hopes have flown
Well
your hopes have flown
Into air
Cos you thought you had a life to share
Life to share
Wolves Over Washington (van der Vlugt) 3.11
Space
looks good today
It doesn't really change
Looking up from 5th Street
The moon's within your range
Space
looks good today
Take us for a ride
I can see the big apple
And it's fifty wings wide
Wolves
over Washington
Fly with me tonight
The streets of New York want you
Fly with me tonight
Space
looks good today
It's a jester ride on the giant slide
Is that a manicure or do they just grow that way?
Space
looks good today
A card game on the way
Our glasses reflect everything
When's the big day?
Wolves
over Washington
Fly with me tonight
The streets of New York want you
Fly with me tonight
Wolves
over Washington
Fly with me tonight
The streets of New York want you
Fly with me tonight
Space
looks good today
I'm glad we're on our way
If we get there really quick
We can call ourselves
Aerodynamic
(Fly with me tonight, fly with me tonight)
Wolves
over Washington
Fly with me tonight
The streets of New York want you
Fly with me tonight
The Sky's Our Terminal (Wakeman) 4.47
Hit
the mission abort button
Coitus Interruptus
Tried to leave the world free spinning
Someone surely stopped us
Wait
a day
Second engine is OK
Here we go again
One more delay
Couldn't think what to say
This is no test
We've been told
The
sky's our terminal
The sky's our terminal
There's
a message come through
From my other home
It's my daughter's birthday
If I feel over the moon about that special news
I'll end up in a worse way
Wait
a day
Second engine is OK
Here we go again
One more delay
Couldn't think what to say
This is no test
We've been told
The
sky's our terminal
The sky's our terminal
Hit
the mission abort button
Coitus Interruptus
Tried to leave the world free spinning
Someone surely stopped us
Wait
a day
Second engine is OK
Here we go again
One more delay
Couldn't think what to say
This is no test
We've been told
The
sky's our terminal
The sky's our terminal
