So Much To Say
Say my hell is the closet
I'm stuck inside
Can't see the light
And my heaven is a nice house
in the sky
Got central heating
and I'm alright
Yeah, yeah, yeah...
can't see the light
Keep it locked up inside
don't talk about it
Talk about the weather
Can't see the light
Open up my head and let me
out, little baby
Here we have been standing
for a long, long time
Treading trodden trails for
a long, long time
I say my hell is the closet
I'm stuck inside
Can't see the light
And my heaven is a nice house
in the sky
Got central heating and I'm
alright
Here we have been standing
for a long, long time
Treading trodden trails for
a long, long time
I find sometimes it's easy
to be myself
Sometimes I find it's better
to be somebody else
I see you young and soft oh
little baby
Little feet, little hands,
little baby
One year of cryin' and the
words creep up inside
Creep into your mind
So much to say
Here we have been standing
for a long, long time
Treading trodden trails for
a long, long time
I find sometimes it's easy
to be myself
Sometimes I find it's better
to be somebody else
So much to say
Open up my head and let me
out
Little baby

Two Step
Say, my love, I came to you
with best intentions
You laid down and gave to
me just what I'm seeking
Love, you drive me to distraction
Hey my love do you believe
that we might last a thousand years
Or more if not for this,
our flesh and blood
It ties you and me right
up
Tie me down
Celebrate we will
Because life is short but
sweet for certain
We're climbing two by two
To be sure these days continue
These things we cannot change
Hey, my love, you came to
me like wine comes to this mouth
Grown tired of water all
the time
You quench my heart and you
quench my mind
Celebrate we will
Because life is short but
sweet for certain
We're climbing two by two
To be sure these days continue
The things we cannot
Celebrate, you and me, climbing
two by two, to be sure
these days continue, things
we cannot change
Oh, my love I came to you
with best intentions
You laid down and gave to
me
just what I'm seeking
Celebrate we will
Because life is short
but sweet for certain
We're climbing two by two
To be sure these days continue
Things we cannot change...
Things we cannot change
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Crash Into Me
You've got your ball
you've got your chain
Tied to me tight tie me up
again
Who's got their claws
in you my friend
Into your heart I'll beat
again
Sweet like candy to my soul
Sweet you rock
and sweet you roll
Lost for you I'm so lost
for you
You come crash into me
And I come into you,
I come into you
In a boys dream
In a boys dream
Touch your lips just so I
know
In your eyes, love, it glows
so
I'm bare-boned and crazy
for you
When you come crash
into me, baby
And I come into you
In a boys dream
In a boys dream
If I've gone overboard
Then I'm begging you
to forgive me
In my haste
When I'm holding you so girl...
close to me
Oh and you come crash
into me, baby
And I come into you
Hike up your skirt a little
more
and show the world to me
Hike up your skirt a little
more
and show your world to me
In a boys dream... In a boys
dream
Oh I watch you there
through the window
And I stare at you
You wear nothing but you
wear it so well
Tied up and twisted,
the way I'd like to be
For you, for me, come crash
into me
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Too Much
Straight in, suck up and go,
cool it, swallow, swallow
Breathe deep, take it all
it comes cheap
Push it through the doors
because in between the lines
I'm gonna pack more lines
so I can get in
Ooh traffic jam got more cars
than a beach got sand
Suck it up, suck it up, suck
it up,
fill it up until no more
I'm no crazy creep, I've
got it coming to me because I'm not satisfied
The hunger keeps on growing
I eat too much
I drink too much
I want too much
Too much
I've got to get it somewhere
I mean, you never know, maybe
you're dreaming
Who do you think you're watching
Who do you think you need
Play for me, play more,
ten times in the same day
I need more, I'm going
over my borders
I'm going to take more, more
from you, letter by letter
I eat too much
I drink too much
I want too much
Too much
I told, god, I'm coming
to your country
I'm going to eat up your
cities,
your homes, you know
I've got a stomach full it's
not
a chip on my shoulder
I've got this growl in my
tummy
and I'm gonna stop it today
I eat too much
I drink too much
I want too much
Too much
Suck it up...

#41
Come and see
I swear by now I'm playing
time against my troubles
I'm coming slow but speeding
Do you wish a dance and while
I'm in the front
The play on time is won
But the difficulty is coming
here
I will go in this way
And find my own way out
I won't tell you to stay
But I'm coming to much more
Me
All at once the ghosts come
back
Reeling in you now
What if they came down crushing
Remember when I used to play
for all of the loneliness that nobody
notices now
I'm begging slow I'm coming
here
Only waiting I wanted to
stay
I wanted to play,
I wanted to love you
I'm only this far
And only tomorrow leads my
way
I'm coming waltzing back and
moving into your head
Please, I wouldn't pass this
by
I wouldn't take any more
than
What sort of man goes by
I will bring water
Why won't you ever be glad
It melts into wonder
I came in praying for you
Why won't you run
in the rain and play
Let the tears splash all
over you
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Say Goodbye
So here we are tonight,
you and me together
The storm outside, the fire
is bright
And in your eyes I see
what's on my mind
You've got me wild
turned around inside
And then desire, see, is
creeping
up heavy inside here
And know you feel the same
way
I do now
Now let's make this an evening
Lovers for a night, lovers
for tonight
Stay here with me, love,
tonight
just for an evening
When we make
our passion pictures
You and me twist up
secret creatures
And we'll stay here
Tomorrow go back to being
friends
Go back to being friends
But tonight let's be lovers,
We kiss and sweat
We'll turn this better thing
to the best
Of all we can offer, Just
a rogue kiss
Tangled tongues and lips,
See me this way
I'm turning and turning for
you
Girl, just tonight
Float away here with me
An evening just wait and
see
But tomorrow go back to your
man
I'm back to my world
And we're back to being friends
Wait and see me,
Tonight let's do this thing
All we are is wasting hours
until the sun comes up it's all ours
On our way here
Tomorrow go back to being
friends
Go back to being friends
Tonight let's be lovers,
say you will
And hear me call, soft-spoken
whispering love
A thing or two I have to
say here
Tonight let's go all the
way then
Love I'll see you,
Just for this evening
Let's strip down, trip out
at this
One evening starts with a
kiss
Run away
And tomorrow
back to being friends
Lovers...love...lovers
Just for tonight, one night...love
you
And tomorrow say goodbye
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Drive In, Drive Out
I hear more than I like to...
so I boil my head in a sense
of humor...
I laugh at what I cannot
change...
I throw it all on the pyre
again...go then and do this
I'd do it for you...
when all that I want is so
badly to be...
by myself again...
it's going to drive me right
out of my brain
Drive in drive out I'm leaving
Drive in drive out
I'll come back again
Drive in drive out I'm leaving
Drive in drive out
I don't care if we all turn
to waste...
so when I beg...you avoid
me...because I smell of dirt... hungry,
hungry boy...you won't leave
me all alone...the boy won't go
Sooner or later we're done
Sooner or later I'm gone
because, because
Sooner or later we're gone
Sooner away
Ooh, my head is pounding now...god
has all but left me behind...
not a sense of worry...I'm
going to drive in and drive out again
Drive in drive out I'm leavin
Drive in drive out I'll come
Drive in drive out I'm leavin
Drive in drive out
I'm over this arrangement...
around here...emptiness
sounded so good...I want
to
drive you right into my world
Drive in drive out I'm leavin
Drive in drive out I'll come
Drive in drive out I'm leavin
Drive in drive out
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let You Down
I let you down
Let me pick you up
I let you down
Let me climb up you to the
top
So I can see the view from
up there
Tangled in your hair
I let you down
I have no lid upon my head
But if I did
You could look inside and
see what's on my mind
You could look inside and
see what's on my mind
I let you down, oh, forgive
me
You give me love
Let me walk with you, maybe
I could say
Maybe talk with you, open
up
And let me through
Don't walk away
Don't walk away
I have no lid upon my head
But if I did
You could look inside and
see what's on my mind
You could look inside and
see what's on my mind
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lie In Our Graves
When I step into the light
My arms are open wide
When I step into the light
My eyes searching wildly
Would you not like to be
Sitting on top of the world
with
your legs hanging free
Would you not like to be
ok, ok, ok?
When I'm walking by the water
Splish splash me and you
takin a bath
When I'm walking by the water
Come up through my toes
To my ankles
To my head
To my soul
And I'm blown away
When I'm walking by the water
Splish splash me and you
takin a bath
When I'm walking by the water
Come up through my toes
To my ankles
To my head
To my soul
And I'm blown away
I can't believe that we would
lie in our graves
Wondering if we had
spent our living days well
I can't believe that we would
lie in our graves
Dreaming of things that we
might have been
I can't believe that we would
lie in our graves
Wondering if we had
spent our living days well
I can't believe that we would
lie in our graves
Dreaming of things that we
might have been
Would you not like to be
I can't believe that you
would not like to be
Would you not like to be
ok, ok, ok
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cry Freedom
How can I turn away
Brother/Sister go dancing
through my head
Human as to human
The future is no place
To place your better days
Cry freedom, cry
From a crowd '0,000 wide
Hope laid upon hope
That this crowd will not
subside
Let this flag burn to dust
And a new a fair design be
raised
While we wait head in hands,
hands in prayer
And fall into a dreamless
sleep again
And we wave our hands
Hands and feet are all alike
But gold between divide us
Hands and feet are all alike
But fear between divide us
All slip away
There was a window and by
it stood
A mirror in which
he could see himself
He thought of something
Something he had never had
but hoped would come along
Cry freedom, cry
From deep inside
Where we are all confined
While we wave hands in fire
Wave our hands
Hands and feet are all alike
But gold between divide us
Hands and feet are all alike
But fear between divide us,
Slip away
In this room stood a little
child
And in this room this little
child
she would remain
Until someone might decide
To dance this little child
across this hall
Into a cold, dark, space
Where she might never trace
her way across this crooked mile
Across this crooked page
Cry freedom, cry
From deep inside where
we are all confined
Till we wave our hands
How can I turn away
Brother/Sister go dancing
through my head
Human as to human
The future is no place
To place your better days
Hands and feet are all alike
But gold between divide us
Hands and feet are all alike
But fear between divide us
Hands and feet are all alike
Hear what I say
Hear what I say Oh, so be
it
How can I turn away
Brother/Sister go dancing
through my head
Human as to human
The future is no place
To place your better days
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tripping Billies
We were above
You were standing underneath
us
We were not yet lovers
Dragons were smoked
Bumblebees were stinging
us
I was soon to be crazy
Eat drink and be merry
For tomorrow we die
Eat drink and be merry
For tomorrow we die
We're tripping Billies
We're wearing nothing
Nothing but our shadows
Shadows falling down on
the beach sand
Remembering once, out on
the beaches
We wore pineapple grass bracelets
So why would you care
To get out of this place
You and me and all our friends
Such a happy human race
We're tripping Billies
We are all sitting
Legs crossed around a fire
My yellow flame she dances
Tequila drinking, oh,
our minds will wander
To wondrous places
So why would you care
To get out of this place
You and me and all our friends
Such a happy human race
Eat drink and be merry
For tomorrow we die
Eat drink and be merry
For tomorrow we die
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Proudest Monkey
Swing in this tree
Oh I am bounce around so
well
Branch to branch,
limb to limb you see
All in a day's dream
I'm stuck
Like the other monkeys here
I am a humble monkey
Sitting up in here again
But then came the day
I climbed out of these safe
limbs
Ventured away
Walking tall, head high up
and singing
I went to the city
Car horns, corners and the
gritty
Now I am the proudest monkey
you've ever seen
Monkey see, monkey do
Then comes the day
Staring at myself I turn
to question me
I wonder do I want the simple,
simple life that I once lived in well
Oh things were quiet then
In a way they were the better
days
But now I am the proudest
monkey you've ever seen
Monkey see, monkey do
Monkey see, monkey do
