"Nan's Song"

"Nan's Song"


You said when you'd die that you'd walk with me every day
And I'd start to cry and say please don't talk that way
With the blink of an eye the Lord came and asked you to meet
You went to a better place but He stole you away from me

And now she lives in heaven
But I know they let her out
To take care of me

There's a strange kind of light
Caressing me tonight
Pray silence my fear she is near
Bringing heaven down here

I miss your love I miss your touch
But I'm feeling you every day
And I can almost hear you say
'You've come a long way baby'

And now you live in heaven
But I know they let you out
To take care of me

There's a strange kind of light
In my bedroom tonight
Pray silence my fear she is near
Bring your heaven down here

You taught me kings and queens
While stroking my hair
In my darkest hour I know you are there
Kneeling down beside me
Whispering my prayer

Yes there's a strange kind of light
Caressing me tonight
Pray silence my fear
She is near
Bringing heaven down here

The next time that we meet
I will bow at her feet
And say wasn't life sweet
Then we'll prepare
To take heaven down there

"National Treasure"

"National Treasure"


The car's always there at nine
Though he's never out on time
Night after night
Line after line
He'll be fine
I suppose
The famous Mr. Jones

He really should relax
He's due a heart attack
Though there's no heart to attack
Is it an act?
No one knows
The naughty Mr. Jones

In a world full of weird, you're the oddest ever
Heard you brought everyone here so much pleasure, clever
We all know that you know you're a national treasure
Mrs. Jones you made the best boy ever, ever
E-V-E-R

He's careful with his weight
Pushes food around the plate
He can never pass as straight
Ask his mates
How it goes
The careful Mr. Jones

Even his mother thinks he's odd
He hasn't got a proper job
But he says neither did God
And he's the Lord
As it goes
The mighty Mr. Jones

In a world full of weird, you're the oddest ever
Heard you brought everyone here so much pleasure, clever
We all know that you know you're a national treasure
Mrs. Jones you made the best boy ever, ever
E-V-E-R

In a world full of weird, you're the oddest ever
Heard you brought everyone here so much pleasure, clever
We all know that you know you're a national treasure
Mrs. Jones you made the best boy ever, ever
E-V-E-R

The moral of this tale
Is when everything's for sale
Good men seldom prevail
They all fail
As he knows
The gifted Mr. Jones

"Never Touch That Switch"

"Never Touch That Switch"


Size of which is paradoxic the only way you're gonna stop this
In the vessel there's a switch in the middle
You really shouldn't fiddle cause its toxic
Listen up 'cos it's a red light
And the pressure's blowing up tight
There's a skism in the time mechanism
There's a skism in the time mekanism
Never touch that switch
Even if you want to
You don't know what it can do.
Never touch that switch, even if you want to.
You don't know what it can do.

See the futures in the distance
I know I'm facing some resistance
Getting back within the blink of a bubble
Time machine never gives us any trouble.
There's a riot down in Shelton
Only minutes after Brixton but this city never made it on the telly
Or the rumble of the nations underbelly

Never touch that switch, even if you want to.
You don't know what it can do.
Never touch that switch, even if you want to.
You don't know what it can do.

You know you're heading for a meltdown, and you're living in a tin town
Thinking that you're gonna be somebody, living in the land of milk and honey
Listen up 'cos it's a red light, and the futures blowing up tight
There's a skism in the time mechanism, there's a skism in the time mekanism

Never touch that switch, even if you want to. You don't know what it can do.
Never touch that switch, even if you want to. You don't know what it can do.
Never touch that switch, even if you want to. You don't know what it can do.
Never touch that switch, even if you want to. You don't know what it can do.

"No One Likes A Fat Pop Star"

"No One Likes A Fat Pop Star"


I come from a land of kebabs and curries,
Second helpings, no worries.
Pile the carbs upon the plate,
Then one day, it's too late.

No breakfast, no luncheon,
Just carpets I'm munching,
A thimble of self-esteem.
Glazed nothing for afters, an absence of laughter,
The saddest that I've ever been.

You just can't be portly, not this side of 40,
Showbiz, a single chin game.
Scum paparazzi's and weight police nasties
Have narrowed the hall of fame.

No one likes a fat pop star,
Pop is a place for the thin.
No one likes a fat pop star,
We want to hear thin people sing!

When I get faint, I chew through my restraints
It's the best meal that I've had all week.
If I could eat my own words, I'd tear through the verbs
But nobody pays me to speak.

No one likes a fat pop star,
Pop is a place for the thin.
No one like a fat pop star
We want to hear thin people sing!

Now you've upset me, I feel like a snack.
A packet of Minstrels, a pie and a nap.
So what's wrong with that?

No breakfast, no luncheon,
Just carpets I'm munching,
A thimble of self-esteem.
Glazed nothing for afters, an absence of laughter,
The thinnest that I've ever been.

Thank you

"No Regrets"

"No Regrets"


Tell me a story
Where we all change
And we'd live our lives together
And not enstranged

I didn't lose my mind it was
Mine to give away
Couldn't stay to watch me cry
You didn't have the time
So I softly slip away...

No regrets they don't work
No regrets they only hurt
Sing me a love song
Drop me a line
Suppose it's just a point of view
But they tell me I'm doing fine

I know from the outside
We looked good for eachother
Felt things were going wrong
When you didn't like my mother

I don't want to hate but that's
All you've left me with
A bitter aftertaste and a fantasy of
How we all could live

No regrets they don't work
No regrets they only hurt
(We've been told you stay up late)
I know they're still talking
(You're far too short to carry weight)
The demons in your head
(Return the videos they're late)
If I could just stop hating you
(Goodbye)
I'd feel sorry for us instead

Remember the photographs (insane)
The ones where we all laugh (so lame)
We were having the time of our lives
Well thank you it was a real blast

No regrets they don't work
No regrets they only hurt
Write me a love song
Drop me a line
Suppose it's just a point of view
But they tell me I'm doing fine

Everything I wanted to be every
Time I walked away
Everytime you told me to leave
I just wanted to stay
Every time you looked at me and
Everytime you smiled
I felt so vacant you treat me like a child
I loved the way we used to laugh
I loved the way we used to smile
Often I sit down and think of you
For a while
Then it passes by me and I think of
Someone else instead
I guess the love we once had is
Officially dead

"Not Like The Others"

"Not Like The Others"


You do something that reminds me
The days of rage are now behind me
I have to live outside the law
Cause I’m a naughty boy with a dirty habit
Tryin to use some teenage magic beacon
Panties off the floor

And when she comes, she comes for hours
No, she don’t fake for no one, she don’t fake for no one
And the flaw gives it away with you
It’s true, I was close to do
And fall in love

Oh baby, please
Begging, my darling please
Under the covers
You and me are not like the others
You and me are not like the others

Please
Begging, my darling please
God loves the lover
You and me are not like the others
You and me are not like the others

You do something that reminds me
I’ve no resistance, follow blindly
And baby, that’s what I came here for
Cause I pulled me out of my sedation
Back to the side street, levitation
Another sexual makes a fall

So when you come, she crawl for hours
No, i don’t fake for no one
She don’t fake for no one
And the flaw gives it away with you
It’s true, I was close to do
And fall in love

Please
Begging, my darling please
Under the covers
You and me are not like the others
You and me are not like the others

Please
Begging, my darling please
God loves the lover
You and me are not like the others
You and me are not like the others

We are not like the others
Under, under the covers
God loves, God loves the lover
We are not like the others

We are not like the others
Under, under the covers
God loves, God loves the lover
We are not like the others

Please
Begging, my darling please
Under the covers
You and me are not like the others
You and me are not like the others

Please
Begging, my darling please
God loves the lover
You and me are not like the others
You and me are not like the others

"Often"

"Often"


Often I don't see it when I've been wrong
And boy have I been wrong
Often I won't need it till it's gone
But by then it's gone

Often I make the worst decisions
Say that it's great when I know it isn't so
It's happening so
Often

Often I won't wake up from a dream
You know I love to dream
And often I don't stand up for what I believe
There's nothing left to believe

So often I make the worst decisions
Say that it's great when I know it isn't so
It's happening so

I often wish that you were here
I could moan and bend your ears

Do do do do do do do do do do
Yeah yeah

Often I don't see it when I've been wrong
And boy have I been wrong
Often I won't need it till it's gone
And by then it's gone

Often, I make the worst decisions
Say that it's great when I know it isn't so
It's happening so
It's happening so
Often

"Old Before I Die"

"Old Before I Die"


She's taking me places
I should never have been
She's showin' me faces
I should never have seen
Well these are strange days we're livin' in today
Cest la vie I say

I hope I'm old before I die
I hope I live to relive the days gone by
I hope I'm old before I die
But tonight I'm gonna live for today
So come along for the ride
I hope I'm old before I die

She's not feeling stable
She's unable to breathe
Her heart's beating faster
So I'll ask her to leave
These are strange days we're livin' in today
Am I straight or gay

I hope I'm old before I die
I hope I live to see the day
The pope gets high
I hope I'm old before I die
Well tonight I'm gonna live for today
So come along for the ride
I hope I'm old before I die

Well these are strange days we're livin' in today
Cest la vie I say, I say, I say

I hope I'm old before I die
I hope I live to relive the days gone by
I hope I'm old before I die
But tonight I'm gonna live for today
So come along for the ride
I hope I'm old before I die
Old before I die
Old before
Old before
Old before I die
Old before I die

"One Fine Day"

"One Fine Day"


I like to reminisce about a time I've never had,
A book that no one read,
A film that never made me sad
And you remind me of a place I've never been
And something no one said,
When I was seventeen.

One fine day,
In the middle of the night,
You wake up in it.
One fine day,
In the middle of the night,
But you probably won't admit it.

Remember when we never struggled through,
A bad time we never had,
A love we never fell into,
Please don't remind me to forget,
Cause forgiveness is a place,
I ain't got use to yet.

One fine day in the middle of the night,
You wake up in it.
One fine day in the middle of the night,
But you probably won't admit it.

All I ever wanted,
Was to radiate your home,
But I guess it doesn't matter.

So come reminisce about a time we didn't have,
I hear there's a sequel to that film that never made you sad,
Don't rewrite my history,
Cause you never really know how much you didn't mean to me.

One fine day in the middle of the night,
You wake up in it.
One fine day in the middle of the night,
But you probably won't admit it.

"One For My Baby"

"One For My Baby"


It's quarter to three, there's no one in the place
Except you and me
So set 'em' up Joe, I got a little story
I think you should know
We're drinking my friend, to the end
Of a brief episode
Make it one for my baby
And one more for the road
I know the routine, put another nickel
In the machine
I feel kind of bad, can't you make the music
Easy and sad
I could tell you a lot, but it's not
In a gentleman's code
Make it one for my baby
And one more for the road
You'd never know it, but buddy I'm a kind of poet
And I've got a lot of things I'd like to say
And if I'm gloomy, please listen to me
Till it's talked away
Well that's how it goes, and Joe I know your gettin'
Anxious to close
Thanks for the cheer
I hope you didn't mind
My bending your ear
But this torch that I found, It's gotta be drowned
Or it's gonna explode
Make it one for my baby
And one more for the road
