"Maybe In Another Life"

"Maybe In Another Life"


Big town where have you been?
Called many times but you're never in
Woo-hoo
I've heard you've been knocking on heaven's door
So I've come to take you home once more
Woo-hoo
Woo-hoo

No more flashing lights
No more falling down
No more tortured nights
Tonight we leave this town
Maybe in another life
Who can say?
Who can tell?
We're just not altogether sure
Maybe in another life
Who can say?
Who can tell?

It's just what I'm now praying for
Poor child, it's just not fair
Wonderful world [?]
Evil man gets far away
Poor child, to die another day

Maybe in another life
Who can say?
Who can tell?
But kinder than this
Maybe in another life
Who can say?
Who can tell?
But warmer than this

Maybe in another life
Who can say?
Who can tell?
But kinder than this
Maybe in another life
Who can say?
Who can tell?
But warmer than this

"Memories"

"Memories"



Wherever I go what can I do
I'm at a loose end since I split with you
I did my my best tried hard to please
now all I've got is my memories

What will I do now, heaven knows
find another I suppose
now you say you don't want to know

What did I do where did I go wrong
since you left its seemed so low
we made a good pair
everyone agrees
now all I've got are my memories

What will I do now, heaven knows
find another I suppose
now you say you don't want to know

What will I do now heaven knows
find another I suppose
now you say you don't want to know

Took back your photos
your Letters too
it's just as if I never knew you

"Michael Caine"

"Michael Caine"



(I am Michael Caine)

He's walking where I'm afraid I don't know
I see the firemen jumping from the windows
There's panic and I hear somebody scream
(aaaah)

He picks up useless paper
And puts it in my pocket
I'm trying very hard to keep my fingers clean
I can't remember tell me what's his name

(My name is Michael Caine)

And all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep at home
And all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep

The sun is laughing its another broken morning
I see a shadow and call out to try and warn him
He didn't seem to hear
Just turned away

The quiet fellow follows and points his fingers
Straight at you
He had to sacrifice his pride yes throw it all away

(I am Michael Caine)

And all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep at home
And all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep

His days are numbered he walks round and round in circles
There is no place he can ever call his own
He seems to jump at the sound of the phone

Staring out the window there's nothing he can now do
All he wanted was to remain sane
He can't remember his own name

(My name is Michael Caine)

And all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep at home
And all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep
And all I wanted was a word or photograph
And all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep

And all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep at home
And all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep
And all I wanted was a word or photograph
And all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep
...

"Misery"

"Misery"



Misery loves company
That's what the wise man said
Don't come to me for sympathy
If you can't raise your head
Stand up and see
What your life could be
If you wore a smile instead
If you keep misery as your company
Then you might as well be dead

Why don't you go suck on a silver spoon
Buy a spaceship and fly over the moon
See the colours in the flowers and the tree's
Take a lesson from the birds and the bee's
Why don't you go skipping out in the park
Give yourself a chance to make a new start
Try and focus on your health and your heart
Accept the present and let go of the past

Misery loves company
That's what the wise man said
The remedy to be happy
Well it's all inside your head
Shift infinitessimally your perception and see
Your life could be better led
Don't keep misery as your company
Or you might as well be dead

Why don't you go suck on a silver spoon
Buy a spaceship and fly over the moon
See the colours in the flowers and the tree's
Take a lesson from the birds and the bee's
Why don't you go skipping out in the park
Give yourself a chance to make a new start
Try and focus on your health and your heart
Accept the present and let go of the past
Don't come to me for sympathy
If you can't raise your head
Stand up and see what your life could be
If you wore a smile instead
If you keep misery for company then you
Might as well be dead

"Missing You"

"Missing You"



The sun shines through the open window,
The empty sides the shadows shallow
My arm circles nothing at all,
My fingers reach to touch the wall.

Missing you when I'm away,
Think of things I'd like to say,
Almost cry to hear you voice,
Lying with me,
Got no choice.

Mundane thoughts during the day,
Suddenly to see your face,
Interrupted thoughts have gone,
Knowing that you're all I want.

Missing you when I'm away,
Think of things I'd like to say,
Almost cry to hear you voice,
Lying with me,
Got no choice.

The awesome love I feel for you,
To see you now what would I do,
The desperate feeling you're not there,
To be with you pull out my hair.

Missing you when I'm away,
Think of things I'd like to say,
Almost cry to hear you voice,
Lying with me,
Got no choice.

"Mistakes"

"Mistakes"



It's not so easy to find out later
About the necessary knowledge for survival

You think you know enough to get you through life
But find out too late of chances passed by

An early start is not so important
But timing is most essential

Opportunity gone is gone forever
You never know how much it could have been

And once gone, gone forever
You will find out to your cost

A better use can be made of your time

Don't think that life is easy
You may never get a lucky break

They'll put you down, cold and unknown
A total failure from womb to grave

"MK II"

"MK II"



There's a Mark II parked on the cobbles
Of a Chelsea Mews and out of the shadows
Steps a figure, silver mohair bright
Into the moonshine out into the night

And in the darkness one stray moonbeam
Creeps through the curtains on the unmade bed
She stares at the ceiling, just an empty feeling
He starts the Jaguar and drives away

And no one breathes a word
'Cause even breathing can be heard
Right through the silver screen

They've made inquiries, they'll make it easy
But she won't answer 'cause she's not really there
He throws his gloves out the open window
He lights a cigarette and drives away
He starts the Jaguar and drives away

"Mr. Speaker (Gets The Word)"

"Mr. Speaker (Gets The Word)"



Wriggles from his captor's arms
Mr speaker gets the word and
Running now from the alarms
Speaks his mind free as a bird

Free now to roam around
Stand up straight when he quotes
Spread the word that he has found
Books of verse and scribbled notes

Mister speaker gets the word
(To tell the secrets he has heard)
Speaks so fast his words are slurred
(Mister speaker gets the word)

Stands up straight outside my door
I bring you now the words I've learned
To whom it may concern senor
Tell my friends I have returned

Mister speaker gets the word
(To tell the secrets he has heard)
Speaks so fast his words are slurred
(Mister speaker gets the word)

Excitement rages through his brain
Stirred and stirred throughout the years
Not enough time to explain
Eyes of many sighs of fear

Making space from Colney Hatch Lane
Just some poetry my friend
Scuttles past my window frame
Vanishes right round the bend

Mister speaker gets the word
(To tell the secrets he has heard)
Speaks so fast his words are slurred
(Mister speaker gets the word)

"Mrs. Hutchinson"

"Mrs. Hutchinson"



Well Mrs. Hutchinson, you're looking healthy (huh)
But just in case,
Here's a pill a remedy.

Well Mrs. Hutchinson, this is something,
That little upset, I thought I'd diagnosed,
Well not to worry, it's not what I supposed.

You better sit down son your mother's very ill (ah)
We may have to operate it's more than just a chill.
But don't you worry, it's all in competent hands,
We believe it's under the ribs or one of the glands.

Well Mrs. Hutchinson, eat up your breakfast (come on)
Don't smoke, it stunts your growth,
Stick to your diet, let's hope that you're insured.

(Come on eat your breakfast!)

Well Mrs. Hutchinson, you must be very pleased to know you're leaving here.
We're going to miss you so (hold on)
Here comes your son again.

Are you thirsty son, I think you'll need a drink.
There's been some complications, she's very near the brink.
I have to tell you, it's my duty to speak.
Your mother will not last a week.

Shame!

"Mummy's Boy"

"Mummy's Boy"



(Oy!) in the pub, about seven thirty
Mother makes sure that his face ain't dirty
Him and mother go everywhere
Holds her hand without a care

Lived with mother for fourty years
The neighbourhood said that he must be queer
Normal folk a-just don't like that
Glad he can't hear behind his back

When mother dies, he will have a cry
'cos he'll be on his own
He's frightened stiff, would he come to this?
Will he lose her to the heavenly home?

Once went out with a London girl
Dirty weekend in a hotel
Broke it off when she got shirty
She was twelve and he was thirty

Right after that he was bedsore
He wouldn't go out with girls no more
From that day since, he never has
He wants to do a-something dirty
