Speak When I'm Spoken To
03:13
|
|||
|
I’ve been out & I’ve been driving
To make the music come alive in
The night time world that surrounds me
I’ve been this way girl since you found
Chorus:
And though I might want you
And though I might need you,
And though I might love you
I just speak when I’m spoken to
My moves I had to borrow
Will I feel this way tomorrow?
I know I will but I can’t say
When ev’rything goes back to grey
(Chorus)
Speak to my babe, to my babe, to my babe…

Six Degrees
03:14
|
|||
|
Should I cool it before I suddenly say
Too much about conspiracy & JFK
If bullets hadn’t flown in that way
Would you & I have happened today?
But November 22nd 1963
Might be so far removed from you or me
You’re telling me
Chorus:
Ev’rything’s connected by underground seas
Rivers in the clouds, spirits in the trees
Here to heaven’s no eight, not seven
But six degrees of separation
Hell to heaven’s not twelve, eleven
But six degrees of separation
I have occupied a place on this planet
For some time now I know
Who set this up & then who ran
It’s like some unsolved crime on radio
I can’t even say to you with my friends
Where one might begin & the other ends
Keep telling me
(Chorus)
I can’t do the mathematics
I don’t know how I feel, feel about fanatics
Who’re telling me
(Chorus)
Telling me ‘bout six degrees, telling me…
A universe, a lonely sea
Washin’ all over six degrees…

Her Collected Poems
03:03
|
|||
|
Her collected poems could surely break a heart if by heart I could know them – girl, you better start
To keep those pieces of paper – don’t throw them away
We’ll read & take heed of the lovely things you say
Take time to know them – her collected poems
People seem to think that she’s crazy – too hazy & easily hurt
But her collected poems – I know what they’d be worth
Just her selected poems could surely break you down
Into your core components and spin your all around
What she fleetingly thought at the seaside & carved with a stick in her hand’s
Not on the seashore anymore, washed away by the sand
Take time to know them, her collected poems
People seem to think that she’s lazy – a runaway, a little town flirt
But her collected poems I know just what they’re worth
People seem to think that she’s crazy, etc
Take some time to know them …her collected poems

Teachers at Night
03:02
|
|||
|
Teachers..
I catch sight of you every day – a bell rings, you’re on your way
Out of sight like teachers at night
Thought I saw a spark where your long robes flow – meet me after dark: we could watch it glow
There’s a lot I don’t know about teachers
In my mind you lead an invented life – I’m no schoolboy but I know what it’s like to
Speculate all night about teachers
Mark my words while you smoke & drink
Write “See me” in your boldest red ink
There’s a lot to think about teachers at night
At night…
Teachers..
Teachers who know nothing, teachers out of control
Teachers who know something, teachers on a roll…

Baby, Look No Further
02:55
|
|||
|
My highlight was standing on the skylight glass
Above some smoky dive
All the students skippin’ classes
Breathin’ fumes and gases just to feel alive
In a city of sulphurous vapours
Betting slips and cigarette papers
I see the same things you do and I see you
My highlight would be you seein’ my light
And knockin’ on my door, I’d come alive
Like schoolgirls used to play elastic
My favourite plastic 45
In this city of sulphurous vapours,
Betting slips and fish’n’chip papers
I see the same things you do and I see you
I see you setting up your easel, all you see is greyness
Peepin’ through a keyhole to see the rich and famous
But if you ever wonder if somebody could love you
Baby look no further, I’m on the floor above you
I see the same things you do and I see you.
I see you

First You Fall In Love
02:47
|
|||
|
You wake up, you work out a dream of ev’rything
Go back home, go back home & dream of ev’rything
She walk by, you get high – it’s over
Nothing to do with you, nothing to do with you
Nothing to do with you Do do do do do do do
Chorus: First you fall in love then you find a girl
Then you find a girl you’re dreaming you’re dreaming you’re dreaming
You’re dreaming of
Time for tea and complete concentration
Time for she and such sweet contemplation
Then you wake up to find that she has moved on
Nothing to do this time, nothing to do this time
Can’t you make up your mind what to do do do do do do do
(Chorus)

Maximum Smile
03:19
|
|||
|
Double talk, want your cake and eat it
I wanna walk but I’m staying seated
I don’t care at all when we kiss
Why, why, why should I care at all
When it comes down to this?
I know that
Chorus: Once in a while maximum smile
It really makes my night
Blows my mind, maximum’s fine
But a little bit’s all right
The world was made for you and I
Not made for you and some other guy
I don’t care at all when we touch
Why, why, why should I care at all
If we don’t do it much?
I know that... (Chorus)
Once in a while send it out to play
Maximum Smile send it out my way
It blows my mind then it blows away
(Chorus)
Smile - once in a while, smile - maximum smile

Great Wall Of China
02:57
|
|||
|
You can see the Great Wall Of China from the moon so they say
You can see the Great Wall Of China – I’ll hide behind that wall today
Oh – you’ll never know the way I’m feeling today
Oh – train running slow –it’s getting much faster each day
Moon shining bright makes me feel quite cavalier
And the love that I save is the love that I’ll save for her here
Don’t you know that it’s clear they’re no bigger than we are
And from here you’re no bigger than me
So if you want to know a secret that you oughta know come & see me
You can see the Great Wall Of China from any passing Saturn 5
You can see the Great Wall Of Chinna – makes you kinda glad to be alive
Oh – you’ll never know the way I’m feeling today
In the rain & the snow
Train running slow – it’s getting much faster each day
Moon shining bright, etc.
Come & see me, come, come & see me
Come & see me – come, come..

There's a nonstop talker on the night train
You're meeting your girl in the morning
Don't worry, lack of sleep
Can be good for the mood in the dawning
Let her meet your inner child running all over the place
The one that's running wild at the thought of watching her face
Chorus: (Train, train your thoughts on love - love & happiness, baby) x2
My headphones tell me loneliness is a cloak I wear
Hey Scott I got a duffelcoat rough with fluff with a great big tear
Donated by my inner child, the one I try to keep well hid
The one that's always running wild, she'll be kind of glad he did
(Chorus)
I'm on the right lines, she's gonna be mine...
(Chorus) x2
Love and happiness, baby...

David Niven
02:52
|
|||
|
If you see me at my best
Then you see me at my worst
Turning green in my life-vest
Over-satisfied thirst
Waking up in the late afternoon
Hazily helicopters ride
This emptiness could all too soon
Become a little more unjustified
Chorus: You drive me crazy
If I need to be driven
I think I’m too lazy to be forgiven
The moon’s a balloon
If your name’s David Niven
But anyone can surely see
The moon is not that way for me
If you see me get it right
Then you see me get it wrong
In the space of just one single night
Space of just one single song
To the drumming
Of the plumbing you can listen
In the pit of the listlessness hotel
I’ll admit when I try your patience
Sometimes I think I might as well
(Chorus)

Goodnight Everyone
02:42
|
|||
|
You can’t always get what you’d like
Run for your life, I’ve run out of patience
Fixing the chain on your bike
Goodnight Ev’ryone
One of these days you’re sent down
Find your defence disintegrating
The jury’s out, the judge stuck around
Goodnight Ev’ryone
Goodnight, Goodnight, Goodnight Ev’ryone
Goodnight, Goodnight, Goodnight Ev’ryone
I want the real thing – when I’m round give me the real thing
Goodnight Ev’ryone
You’ve got a reputation to win
I won’t type your recommendation
Screw it up & aim for the bin
Goodnight Ev’ryone
Goodnight, Goodnight, Goodnight Ev’ryone
Goodnight, Goodnight, Goodnight Ev’ryone
I want the real thing – when I’m round give me the real thing
When I’m round…. I want the real thing
You can’t always get what you want
Run for your life, I’m runnin’ I’ll run away____
Goodnight Ev’ryone
Goodnight, Goodnight, Goodnight Ev’ryone
Goodnight, Goodnight, Goodnight Ev’ryone
