Lost Again
03:10
|
|||
All my life I’ve wondered why the world’s so mad
All my life I’ve asked if it must be
People acting strange in ways I don’t understand
But now I know it’s me
So Here I go
Through life’s mystery
Here I go
Lost again
here I go
It’s my life history
Here I go
Lost again
A clear conscience only means a faulty memory
My recall’s clear as it could be
I’m just trying to keep things on a steady even keel
But now I know it’s me

Funaggedon Time
03:30
|
|||
I looked out at the night of the living stoned
Bodies strewn all over as they moaned and groaned
Lucifer was partying and tomorrow had been postponed
Passed her on the stairs she wore a black lace coat
Perfume so strong it grabbed me by the throat
They say she isn’t sexy but she gave me pause for thought
It was Funageddon Time
To not join in would be a crime
Funageddon Time
All the way
Yeah eh Funageddon Time
Sie rocken in den Altersheims/I’ll take mine with a slice of lime
Funageddon Time
Every day
She lead me by the hand, poured us both a shot
It hit me in the head my body running hot
A sugar rush all over to the land that time forgot
We danced into eternity by way of doomsday
The carnage all around us moved out of our way
A Foxtrot at a tea dance in the Waldorf it was not
The last thing I remember was
Stumbling dazed and lost
The band rocked out a jungle beat
The room pulsated with applause
The very end of me because
I woke up naked in the street

Just Try to Be Kind
02:19
|
|||
Standing here at Summers End
It’s been a dream, but all good things end
As I drive home to November
I won’t forget what I can’t remember
But hey, for now I’ll try to be kind
The year’s a blur, all our lives on hold
So took the car, and we just drove
Headed south for some sun and freedom
A little hope and a lot less boredom
So hey, for now I’ll just try to be kind
I guess people will keep believing
All the nonsense they keep receiving
I’ll just let it go and do my best
I’ll just try to be kind
as I pass all the fearful people
Who keep their distance but try to be cheerful
Well hey, for now I’ll try to be kind

Can I Go Out Now Please
03:34
|
|||
Dreaming of a day when, socialising’s back in oh oh oh
A day when we’re out playing, instead of isolating yeah
Watching as the grass grows, planting new potatoes oh oh oh
I’d rather watch the football or be out on a pub crawl yeah
oh oh can I go out now please
Oh oh you know I’d be good
Oh oh can I go out now please
Oh oh If only I could
Getting bored with Netflix, eating food with chopsticks oh oh oh
makes things last much longer, as my thoughts start to wander yeah
Longing for those faces, in noisy, crowded places oh oh oh
Makes the heart grow fonder, for the Wild Blue Yonder yeah
Every day’s just the same. Every day my mind strays
Maybe Marseille or Bombay
But I’ll be far away, oh so far away

It's Going So Well
03:50
|
|||
I got fired today, The boss said I’m lazy
But he’s a little bit crazy, And what’s he know anyway
He caught me having fun, In the storeroom with Daisy
It’s all a bit hazy, On account of the rum
But it’s all going well, All going oh so well
Going so well, Today
Yes it’s all going well, Never better can’t you tell?
Going so well, Every day
Yes it’s all going well, All going oh so well
I had a bet on the horses, Which all ran like tortoises
But it’s all going so well
all going well, All going oh so well
The boss says he’ll reinstate me
And I’m marrying Daisy
So it’s all going very well.

Oh My My
03:37
|

Well well a positive sign, There it is 2 red lines
Oh my my she’s going to have a baby
She’s waited oh so long, Always asking, is something wrong
Oh my my the thing says it ain’t maybe
Oh how she’s yearned for this day, Oh just how hard did she pray
Yes Well oh my my, Life works out by and by
However how hard you try, It finds its own way
From here, She can put it all behind
Now her dream’s come true
She has something to say, Quite a bombshell coming his way
Oh my my she’s going to have a baby
He looks stunned what can he say? What a shock what a day
Oh my my she’s says it ain’t maybe
Thinks well I’d better grow up, Gone are those nights in the pub
Oh well oh my my, Maybe it’ll be alright
Maybe he’ll cope just fine, And they’ll be ok
It’s high time, To put it all behind
Now her dream’s come true
life moves on in unexpected ways, Whatever you plan
Ever on into its winding maze
Well oh my my, Yes it’ll be alright
He’ll cope just fine, And they’ll be ok
it’s time, To put it all behind
Now her dream’s come true

Real Good Time
03:40
|
|||
All aboard for the best of times
Raise your glasses as the guitars chime
The band are ready and the crowd are truly primed
Off we go with a brand new song
We couldn’t, play before for oh so long
Now we’re, truly back to make you sing along
You can’t have it all
Where would you put it, your cupboards would be full
But you can have a real good time if you want to
You can say cheers to you hope your fine
You can care less about all those knuckleheads in this world
You can smile and sing your heart out on cloud nine
Here we go like a jet in flight
We’re, Showing off with all our might
And we’re, really here to celebrate tonight
And here we go, hope it never ends
Can we, carry on well it all depends
But, in the meantime we’re here to make amends
you can’t have it all
You’d fall all over it, block up your hall
You can’t have it all
Your doors would bang into it, your house is too small

There’s nothing you can tell a fool
That’ll make him change his point of view
Everybody knows it but no one knows what they can do
So reading all the words a fool
Thinking all the world needs their point of view
A mans gotta do what every mans gotta do
Oh oh oh Everybody knows it’s true
Oh oh oh a happy song will see you through
But oh some days
You're singing the same words they do
But to a different tune
So turning up on the wrong day
the fool gets both barrels in the fray
A verbal guided missile blast to make him go away
But all it does is make the fool
Carry on as if he all he says is true
Not a jot has changed
The fool still has his point of view.
Well Oh, everybody knows, it’s true
Everybody knows
The fools can’t help themselves
Along with everyone else
Their minds made up
There’s nothing you can say that helps

Watch out, that man is all about
If you see Bill Gates you’d better watch out
He’s gonna chip you, follow you
He’s put it in the vaccine of that there’s no doubt
And keep them peeled in Memphis,
cos Elvis is alive
The Graceland lawn’s immaculate
He’s mowing it so he can hide
So oh oh think it over
Oh oh can’t you see
Oh oh hallelujah
Hallelujah
you should believe
Wise up, look it all up
Only Donald Trump is the man to face up
To Hillary’s paedos, tying us up
He’s gonna take them out, he’s gonna round them up
And Don't try to fly to Helsinki
Cos Finland is a myth
The Japs and Russians invented it
Just so they can steal our fish

Would I Lie to You
05:20
|
|||
It’s already too late to regret a mistake once you’ve made it
You’ve already made it, now
So best to move on
So if you’re the cleaner who cleans up the mess in the Wuhan bat market
Just sweep on as you whistle this song
Oh what’s the point in regretting today
Deeds you’re best off forgetting for ever
Never regret, it won’t pay
why be the one who is wasting away
With the cares of the world on your shoulders
Be pretty and witty and gay
Would I lie to you
The more I know men well the more I like dogs
Is my modus operandi
Well, It works for me
They’ll keep a secret, and never repeat it
And who needs people, squawking and scribbling
When writing is not the right thing
Some say better the devil you know
I say better when the devil knows your
Name and you’re chums with him too
Anyway, when I’m dead they’ll say I was the best
They’ll say he was a rogue but we liked him
He got things done he passed the test

It Rains on the Good
03:09
|

I’ll sell you anything I want you to buy
I’ll tell you anything I like
Ignore what others say and look into my eyes
I am the greatest man alive
Never admit that anything went wrong
It’s all a triumph can’t you see
It rains on the good, like the wicked
Not that it should, it’s not cricket
But oh oh
will I be good, or wicked
What do you think?, admit it
Oh oh oh You don’t know
I am the smartest man the world has ever seen
My brain’s so big you won’t believe
don’t need an expert telling me what it all means
Don’t need those liars on TV
I won the election, they stole it from me
don’t need to prove it, just believe
Oh let me simplify it all
A short sharp slogan’s all you need
We’ll be peachy here inside our wall
Joining in on my Twitter feed

The Gilded Cage
03:16
|
|||
The tv screen unfurls, there’s Michael Palin
Travelling the world, jovial and smiling
Small boats on the sea
Seems so wild and free from another age
Cairo to Nepal, crowded railway stations
Slow boat to Bengal, drinking with Croatians
Tea beneath a tree
Seems so wild and free from my gilded cage
But, everybody knows, things’ll get better
Nothing stays the same, there’s always better weather
Shining down on me, that’s where I will be in another age
So hey, hey, hey, let’s get away, not today
But we’ll take off
And Hey, hey hey, there’ll be a day, come what may
When we’ll take off
Photo on my wall, somewhere in a summer
Friends and alcohol, over there’s a drummer
Playing up a storm
Seems so bright and warm in another age
Another in my hall, Back in Argentina
Tango dancers sprawl, prima ballerinas
Nothing like today
Seems so far away in my gilded cage
But everybody knows, escape is round the corner
The cavalry’s arrived, tearing down the borders
Hope is what we have
Leading by the hand to another age
So hey hey hey, we’re gonna get away, it’s what I say
Yeah we’ll take off

He wakes up early just before the dawn, another day in town, he’ll be working
But it’s this weekend he gets to see his boy, he’ll meet him at his mother’s, keep him for the weekend
They’ll take his soft top mustang head down to the coast
Ready for whatever comes, get away
Roof down, sunshine smiling on them both
Ready for some summer sun, every day
They’ll have the CD player on, and turned up loud
singing with the Beach Boys
Good vibrations, excitations now
Singing with the Beach Boys
thinks God only knows how much he means to me
Life is never easy, not always what it could be
And wouldn’t it be nice to be with him far more
Be there every morning, be there in the evening
right now, he’ll live life, take all that he can
Enjoy it when it comes along. Live the day
crank those tunes out shout for Barbara Ann
Surf imaginary Waves all the way
They’ll put the CD player on cranked up real loud
Singing with the Beach Boys
Good vibrations, excitations now
Singing with the Beach Boys
There’ll be fun fun fun all weekend long, and how
Singing with the Beach Boys
They can hear the music play, they’ll get around
Singing with the Beach Boys
we’ll be bombing round the B roads off the beaten track
sing along with songs that take us way, way back, again
Singing with the Beach Boys
and when the sun begins to set, we start to head on back
Time is just so precious it falls through the cracks, except when
We’re singing with the Beach Boys
