D'You Know What I Mean? 

Step off the train all alone at dawn
Back into the hole where I was born 
The sun in the sky never raised an eye to me
The blood on the trax and must be mine 
The fool on the hill and I feel fine 
Don't look back cos you know what you might see 

Look into the wall of my mind's eye 
I think I know, but I don't know why 
The questions are the answers you might need
Coming in a mess going out in style 
I ain't good-looking but I'm someone's child
No-one can give me the air that's mine to breathe 

I met my maker 
I made him cry
And on my shoulder he asked me why 
His people won't fly through the storm 
I said "Listen up man, they don't even know you're born" 

All my people right here, right now 
D'You Know What I Mean? 
All my people right here, right now 
D'You Know What I Mean? 
All my people right here, right now 
D'You Know What I Mean? 
Yeah, yeah 

I don't really care for what you believe 
So open up your fist or you won't receive 
The thoughts and the words of every man you'll need 
Get up off the floor and believe in life
No-one's ever gonna ever ask you twice 
Get on the bus and bring it on home to me 

 

My Big Mouth 

Everybody knows ... but no-one's saying nothing
And it's a sound so very loud ... that no-one can hear
I got something in my shoe ... it's keeping me from walking
Down the long and winding road ... back home to you 

Around this town you've ceased to be
That's what you get for sleeping with the enemy
Where angels fly you won't play
So guess who's gonna take the blame for ... 

My big mouth, my big name
Who'll put on my shoes while they're walking
Slowly down the hall of fame?
Into my big mouth you could fly a plane
Who'll put on my shoes while they're walking
Slowly down the hall of fame?
Slowly down the hall of fame 

I ain't never spoke to God
And I ain't never been to heaven
But you assumed I knew the way
Even though the map was given 
And as you look into the eyes
Of a bloody cold assasin
Only then you'll realize
With who's life you have been messin'  

 

Magic Pie 

An extraordinary guy
Can never have an ordinary day, 
He might live a long goodbye
But that is not for me to say
I dig his friends, I dig his shoes 
But he is just a child with nothing to lose 
But his mind 

They are sleeping while they dream
And then they want to be adored
They who don't say what they mean
Will live and die by their own sword.
I dig their friends, I dig their shoes
But they are like a child with nothing to lose
In their minds, their minds. 

But I'll have my way
In my own time
I'll have my say
My star will shine 

Cos you see me I got my Magic Pie
Think of me yeah that was me I was that passer by
I've been and now I've gone. 

There are but a thousand days preparing for a thousand years
Many minds to educate and people who have disappeared
D'you dig my friends? D'you dig my shoes?
I am like a child with nothing to lose but my mind
My mind

 

Stand By Me 

Made a meal and threw it up on Sunday
I've got a lot of things to learn
Said I would and I believe in one day
Before my heart starts to burn. 

So whats the matter with you?
Sing me something new ... Don't you know 
The cold and wind and rain don't know 
They only seem to come and go, away 

Times are hard when things have got no meaning
I've found a key upon the floor 
Maybe you and I will not believe in the things we find behind the door 

Stand By Me -- Nobody knows the way it's gonna be 
Stand By Me -- Nobody knows the way it's gonna be 
Stand By Me -- Nobody knows the way it's gonna be 

If you're leaving will you take me with you
I'm tired of talking on my phone 
But there is one thing I can never give you
My heart will never be your home

 

I Hope, I Think, I Know

They're trying hard to put me in my place 
And that is why I've gotta keep running 
The future is mine and it's no disgrace 
Cos in the end the past means nothing 

You tell me I'm free then you tie me down 
And from my chains I think it's a pity 
What did it cost you to wear my crown 
You dont like me why don't you admit it 

D'you feel a little down today? 
Bet you ain't got much to say? 
But your gonna miss me when I'm not there
You know I dont care, You know I dont care 

As we beg and steal and borrow 
Life is hit and miss and this
I Hope, I Think, I Know
And if I hear the names you call 
If I stumble catch me when I fall 
Cos baby after all, You'll never forget my name 

 

The Girl In The Dirty Shirt 

If I may be so bold could I just say something 
Come and make me my day 
The clouds around your soul don't gather there for nothing 
But I can chase them all away 

Why d'you need a reason for to feel happy
Or be shining for the rest of the world 
Give me just a smile and would you make it snappy
Get your shit together girl 

You got a feeling lost inside
It just won't let you go
Your life is sneaking up behind
It just won't let you go 
No it just won't let you go 
What I'm trying to say ... 

Is would you maybe, come dancing me 
Cos to me it doesn't matter if your hopes and dreams are shattered
When you say something you make me believe 
In the girl who wears a dirty shirt 
She knows exactly what she's worth 
Knows exactly what she's worth to me!
That I can see, I can see 

If you ever find yourself inside a bubble 
You've gotta find your own way home 
You can call me anytime you're seeing double
Now you know you're not alone 

 

Fade In-Out 

Get on the rollercoaster 
The fair's in town today 
Y'gotta be bad-enough to beat the brave 

So get on the helter skelter 
Bowl into the fray 
Y'gotta be bad-enough to beat the brave 

You fade in-out 
You fade in-out 
Without a doubt 
I don't see no shine 
Today is just a daydream
Tomorrow we'll be castaway 

Coming in-out of nowhere 
Singin' rhapsody 
Y'gotta be bad-enough to wanna be 

Sitting upside a high chair 
With the devils refugee 
Is gonna be blinded by the light
That follows me 

She fade in-out 
She fade in-out 
Without a doubt 
I don't see no shine 
Today is just a daydream
Tomorrow she'll be castaway 

 

Don't Go Away 

Cold and frosty morning there's not a lot to say 
About the things caught in my mind
And as the day was dawning my plane flew away 
With all the things caught in my mind 

I don't wanna be there when you're ...
Coming down 
I don't wanna be there when you hit the ground 

So dont go away, say what you say 
Say that you'll stay 
Forever and a day ... In the time of my life 
Cos I need more time, yes I need more time
just to make things right 

Damn my situation and the games I have to play 
With all the things caught in my mind 
Damn my education I can't find the words to say 
With all the things caught in my mind 

Me and you whats going on? 
All we seem to know is how to show
The feelings that are wrong 

 

Be Here Now 

Wash your face in the morning sun
Flash your pen at the song that I'm singing
Touchdown bass living on the run 
Make no sweat at the hole that you're digging 

Wrap up cold when it's warm outside 
Your shit jokes remind me of Digsy's
Be my magic carpet ride
Fly me down to capital city in the sun 

Kicking up a storm from the day that I was born
Sing a song for me one from 'Let It Be'
Open up your eyes get a grip on yourself inside 

 

All Around The World 

It's a bit early in the midnight hour for me 
To go through all the things that I want to be
I don't believe in everything I see 
Y'know I'm blind so why d'you disagree 

So take me away cos I just dont want to stay 
Cos all the lies you make me say
Are getting deeper every day
These are crazy days but they make me shine 
Time keeps rolling by 

All Around The World, you've gotta spread the word
Tell 'em what you heard 
You're gonna make a better day
All Around The World, you've gotta spread the word
Tell 'em what you heard 
You know it's gonna be okay 

So what you gonna do when the walls come falling down? 
You never move you never make a sound 
So where you gonna swim with the ridges that you found?
If you're lost at sea then I hope that you've drowned 

 

It's Gettin' Better (Man!) 

Say Something shout it from the roof tops off your head 
Make it sort of mean something make me understand or I'll forget
The people here on life's beaches they wish upon the waves that hide the sand
Let them know that life teaches you to build a castle in the sand 

Maybe the songs that we sing are wrong 
Maybe the dreams that we dream are gone 
So bring it on home and it wont be long 
It's getting better man! 

Hey! What was that you said to me?
Just say the word and I'd be free?
And where the stars are shining bright 
It's getting better man!
And crashing in upon a wave
It's calling out beyond the grave 
And We're the fire in the sky 
We're getting better man! 

Build something build a better place and call it home
Even if it means nothing you'll never-ever feel that you're alone 

All Around The World (reprise)
