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

 

Stay Young

One way out is all you're ever gonna get 
From those who'll hand it out don't never let it upset you
Cos they'll put words into our mouths they're making us feel so ashamed 

Making us take the blame 
Making us cold in the night 
Making us question my heart and soul 
And I think that it's not quite right 

Hey! stay young and invincible 
Cos we know just what we are 
And come what may we're unstoppable
Cos we know just what we are 

Feed your head with all the things you need 
When you're hungry
Stay in bed and sleep all day as long as it's Sunday
Cos they'll put words into your mouth they're making you feel so ashamed

 

Angel Child

Take me ... won't you take me to the edge of night 
And make me ... walk into the night 
And there'll be no eyes ...
No eyes that seen such beauty would lose their sight 
And there'll be no lies 
No lies that you could tell me would make things right 

Cos I gave all my money to people and things 
And the price in still playing and the shit that it brings 
Doesn't fill me with hope for the songs that you sing 
Tonight this is your life 
Angel child (of mine) 

When you find out ... when you find out who you are you know 
You'll be free ... to free your own ability 
And there'll be no eyes ...
No eyes that seen such beauty would lose their sight 
And there'll be no lies 
No lies that you could tell me
Would make things right
