Never Came Back
03:00
|
|||
I don't know where or why were going
But now our movies always showing
I did it my way
On the sonic highway
and now I wake up and I'm happy
The final lap
well how about that
we kicked the walls down
we'll paint the whole town
I don't know why
we reach for the sky
I think we'll get there
I think were so near
But that was the past
I thought it would last
You went off to work and never came back
you never came back
you never came back
la la la la you never came back
la la la la you never came back
you went off to work you never came back
you never came back
you never came back

The Whole Night Through
03:56
|
|||
Browsing a book shop
Down the third row between A F and C
Came to a full stop
Don't wanna go
go on to page three
A man with a suitcase stood at the door
I think I'd seen that face before
Was it a dream or was it all true
and would I see the whole night through
Would I see the whole night through
would I see the whole night through
would I see the whole night through
would I see the whole night through
Made sure the safe locked
I had some gems and some silk from Paree
set the alarm clock
the big hand on 5 and the small hand past 3
I jammed a chair into the door
wedged on an angle with the crack in the floor
I hid some knives and sticks here and there
and had a drink and a pill for the fear
Would I see the whole night through
would I see the whole night through
would I see the whole night through
would I see the whole night through
A shot rang out in the air
and the window glass flew through my hair
I ran out the door and down the stairs and I'm never gonna go there again
Ba ba ba ba
ba ba ba ba
ba ba ba ba

All Our Friends
03:40
|
|||
We go to the park
before it gets dark
were chasing the balls
we laugh when they fall
we look at the sky
the colours go by
we run in the sun
were just having fun
your riding your bike
I'm walking the street
I'm holding your shirt
your moving your feet
you look straight ahead
but don't toe the line
you do what you want
and in your own time
all our friends are coming too
we'll take the bus the waters blue
a thousand million things to do
down at the beach
you run to the shore
your feets getting wet
don't care anymore
you don't want to leave
you don't want to stay
you don't want to move
you just want to play
your building a house
your building a shop
your building a road
your not gonna stop
your always at work
your always at play
your always at home
your always away
all our friends are coming too
we'll take the bus the waters blue
a thousand million things to do
first the park and then the zoo
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo

Happiest Girl
02:41
|
|||
Do you wanna know the story of the happiest girl
in the world
you know shes gonna have a go shes gonna give it a whirl
what a girl
and theres no worry
and theres no hurry
when she was four she climbed a tree and all the apples were pearls
in her world
and when she fell into the ground she jumped right up with a twirl
what a girl
and theres no worry
and theres no hurry
and when there was sadness she never felt pain
she always found the road
towards the sun again
worry
hurry
worry
hurry

I Got Stoned
03:37
|
|||
asked me over for tea
wanted to look at me
like a fish in a bowl they were there to take a look at me
I was in island bay where the rich people stay
her mum and her dad were part of a high society
as the wine and talk flowed I was getting to know
that a wink and a smile were always gonna work for me
and the paper was rice as I rolled out my vice
and the moon and the stars were the only ones there with me
I got stoned I got stoned
you'd better believe it
I got stoned I got stoned you'd better believe it
and the story was told all that glitters is gold
I was mixing it up with the movers and shakers of industry
it was quarter past ten
this is now that was then
I went out the back door and under a shady tree
and the paper was rice as I rolled out my vice
and the moon and the stars were the only ones there with me
I got stoned
I got stoned
you'd better believe it
I got stoned I got stoned
you'd better believe it
yeah eah eah eah eah eah eah
I got stoned I got stoned you'd better believe it
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
I got stoned well I got stoned
ya better believe it
yeah eah eah eah eah eah

I’m gonna go for a free ride
I feel like getting on
I’m gonna go for a good time
I know I’m getting on
I’m gonna go where the sun shines
I’ll see what it shines on
I’m gonna go where the trees climb
I feel like climbing on
When I go
When I go
When I go
When I go
I’m gonna go for a free ride
Now I know I’m gonna go for a free ride
I’m gonna go for a free ride
Now I know I’m gonna go for a free ride

Underground
04:12
|
|||
Its often been said , things don’t go your way
You run and you fall , you fall away
You never say die when your losing ground
Your older now
Soon you’ll be underground
There’s nothing you’ve read that leads you astray
Your safe in your shell , and you’ll stay that way
You cheat and you lie , your on higher ground
I’m colder now , what goes comes around
Don’t know , nothings doing
Don’t know , nothings doing
