The Lyrics:
(1) D'You Know What I Mean?
Step off the train all alone at dawn
Back into the hole where I was born
Sun in the sky never raised an eye to me
Put on the trax and they must be mine
Fool on the hill and I feel fine
Don't look back `cause you know whet you might see
Look into the wall of my minds eye
I think I know that I don't know why
Questions aren't the answers you might need
Coming in a mess going out in style
I ain't good looking but I'm someones child
No-one can give me the air that's mine to breathe
I met my maker and I made him cry
And on my shoulder he asked me why
His people won't fly through the storm
I said "Hey listen up man now they don't even know your born"
All my people right here right now
D'You Know What I Mean?
Yeah, Yeah
All my people right here right now
D'You Know What I Mean?
Yeah, Yeah
All my people right here right now
D'You Know What I Mean?
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, yeah
I don't really care for what you believe
So open up your fist or you won't recieve
The thoughts and the words of every man you'll meet
So get up off the floor I believe in life
No-ones ever gonna ever ask you twice
Get on the bus and bring it on home to me
I met my maker and made him cry
And on my shoulder he asked me why
His people won't fly through the storm
I said "Listen up man, they don't even know your born"
All my people right here right now
They know what I mean
Yeah, Yeah
All my people right here right now
They know what I mean
Yeah, Yeah
All my people right here right now
They know what I mean
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, yeah, Yeah, yeah
All my people right here right now

Yeah, Yeah
All my people right here right now
D'You Know What I Mean?
Yeah, Yeah
All my people right here right now
D'You Know What I Mean?

(2) My Big Mouth
Everybody knows
But no-one's saying nothing
And was the sound so very loud
That no one can hear?
I got something in my shoes
It's keeping me from walking
Down a long and winding road
And back home to you
I've seen this town it seems to be
That's what you got for sleeping with the enemy
Where angels fly, you won't play
So guess who's gonna take the blame for
My big mouth
And my big name
I'll put on my shoes as I'm walking slowly down the hall of fame
Into my big mouth
You can fly a plane
I'll put on my shoes as I'm walking slowly down the hall of fame
Slowly down the hall of fame
I ain't ever spoke to God
And I ain't ever been to heaven
But you assume I knew the way
Even though the map was given
And as you look into the eyes
Of a bloody cold assassin
It's only then you realize
Winnings what you have been missing
And all your sounds cease to be
That's what you got for sleeping with the N.M.E.
Where angels fly, you won't play
So guess who's gonna take the blame for
My big mouth
And my big name
I'll put on my shoes while I'm walking slowly down the hall of fame
Into my big mouth
Yeah, you can fly a plane
I'll put on my shoes while I'm walking slowly down the hall of fame
Slowly down the hall of fame
Slowly down the hall of fame
And all this town will cease to be
That's what you got for sleeping with the enemy
Where angels fly, you won't play
I guess you're gonna take the blame for my big mouth
And my big name
I'll put on my shoes while I'm walking slowly down the hall of fame
Into my big mouth
Yeah, you can fly a plane
I'll put on my shoes while I'm walking slowly down the hall of fame
Slowly down the hall of fame
Slowly down the hall of fame
Slowly down the hall of fame
Slowly down the hall of fame
(3) Magic Pie
An extraordinary guy can never have an ordinary day
He might live a long goodbye
But that is not for me to say
I dig his friends
I dig his shoes
But he is just a child with nothing to lose
But his mind, his mind
They are sleeping while they dream
But then they want to be adored
They who don't say what they mean
Will live and die by their own sword
I dig their friends
I dig their shoes
But they are like a child with nothing to lose
But their minds, yeah their minds
I'll have my way
In my own time
I'll have my say
My star will shine
`cause you see me
I've got my magic pie
Think of me
Yeah that was me
I was that passer by
I've been and now I've gone
There are but a thousand days but heading for a thousand years
Many minds to educate, and people who have disappeared
To dig my friends
To dig my shoes
I am like a child with nothing to lose
But my mind, yeah my mind
We'll have our way
In our own time
In our own time
We'll have our say
`cause my star's gonna shine
`cause you see me
I've got my magic pie
Think of me, yeah that was me
I was that passer by, I've been and now I've gone
`cause you see me
I've got my magic pie
Think of me, yeah that was me I was that passer by
I've been and now I've gone
(4) Stand By Me
Made a meal and threw it up on Sunday
I've, Got a lot of things to learn
Said I would and I believe in one day
Before my heart starts to burn
So whats the matter with you
Sing me something new
Don't you know the cold and wind and rain don't know
They only seem to come and go away
Times are hard when things have got no meaning
I've found a key upon the floor
Maybe you and I will not believe in
The thing we find behind the door
So whats the matter with you
Sing me something new
Don't you know the cold and wind and rain don't know
They only seem to come and go away

The way it's gonna be
If your leaving will you take me with you?
I'm tired of talking on my phone
There is one thing I can never give you
My heart could never be your home
So what's the matter with you?
Sing me something new
Don't you know the cold and wind and rain don't know
They only seem to come and go away

(5) I Hope, I Think, I Know
They're trying hard to put me in my place
And that is why I've gotta keep running
The future is mine and its no disgrace
`cause in the end the past means nothing
You tell me I'm free then you tie me down
And from my chains I think its a pity
What did it `causet you to wear my crown
You dont like me why don't you admit it
I feel a little down today
And I ain't got much to say
But your gonna miss me when I'm not there
You know I dont care
You know I dont care
As we beg and steal and borrow
Life is hit and miss
And this, I hope, I think, I know
If I ever hear the names, you call
And if I stumble catch me when I fall
`cause baby after all
You'll never forget my name
You'll never forget my name
Your trying hard to put me in my place
And that is why I've gotta keep running
The future is mine and its your disgrace
`cause in the end your laugh means nothing
To feel a little down today
But you ain't got much to say
Whos gonna miss you when your not there
You know we don't care
`cause as we beg and steal and borrow
Life is hit and miss
And this, I hope, I think, I know
If I ever hear the names, you call,
And if I stumble - catch me when I fall
`cause baby after all
You'll never forget my name
You'll never forget my name
As we beg and steal and borrow
Life is hit and miss
And this, I hope, I think, I know
If I ever hear the names, you call
And if I stumble catch me when I fall
`cause baby after all
You'll never forget my name
You'll never forget my name
You'll never forget my name
(6) The Girl in the Dirty Shirt
If I may be so bold that I just say something
Come and make me my day
The clouds around your soul
Don't gather there for nothing
But I can chase them all away
Why d'you need a reason for to feel happy
Or shining for the rest of the world
Give me just a smile and would you make it snappy
Get your shit together girl
You've got a feeling lost inside you
Just won't let you go
Your life is sneaking up behind
It just wont let you go
No it just wont let you go
Is what I'm trying to say
Is would you maybe
Come dancing me
`cause to me it doesn't matter
If your hopes and dreams are shattered
When you say something
You make me believe
Yeah, the girl who wears a dirty shirt
She knows exactly what she's worth
She knows exactly what she's worth to me
But I can see, I can see
If you ever find yourself inside a bubble
You gotta make your own way home
You can call me anytime your seeing double
Now you know your not alone

(7) Don't Go Away
Cold and frosty morning
There's not a lot to say
About the things caught in my mind
And as the day was dawning
My plane flew away
With all the things caught in my mind
I don't wanna be there when your, coming down
I don't wanna be there when you hit the ground
So don't go away
Say what you say
Say that you'll stay
Forever and a day
In the time of my life
`cause I need more time
Yes I need more time just to make things right
Damn my situation and the games I have to play
With all the things caught in my mind
Damn my education I can't find the words to say
With all the things caught in my mind
I don't wanna be there when your, coming down
I don't wanna be there when you hit the ground
So don't go away
Say what you say
Say that you'll stay
Forever and a day
In the time of my life
`cause I need more time
Yes I need more time just to make things right
Me and you whats going on
All we seem to know is how to show
The feelings that I wrote
So don't go away
Say what you say
Say that you'll stay
Forever and a day
In the time of my life
`cause I need more time
Yes I need more time just to make things right
And dont go away
Say what you say
Say that you'll stay
Forever and a day
In the time of my life
`cause I need more time
Yes I need more time just to make things right
Yes I need more time just to make things right

(8) Be Here Now
Wash your face in the morning sun
Flash your pen at the song that I'm singing
Touchdown base living on the run
I make no sweat at the hole that you're digging
Wrap up cold when it's warm outside
Your shit jokes remind me of Digsy's
Be my magic carpet ride
Fly me down to capital city in the sun
Kicking up a storm
From the day that I was born
Sing a song to me
One from Let It Be
Open up your eyes get a grip on yourself inside!
So wash your face in the morning sun
Flash your pen at the song that I'm singing
Touchdown base living on the run
Make no sweat of the hole that you're digging
Kicking up a storm
From the day that I was born
Sing a song to me
One from Let It Be
Open up your eyes get a grip on yourself inside!
(9) Inside, Inside, Inside
So wrap up cold when it's warm outside
Please sit down you make me feel giddy
Be my magic carpet ride
Fly me down to capital city
I've been kicking up a storm
From the day that I was born
Sing a song for me
One from let it be
Open up your eyes get a grip on yourself inside!

(10) All Around The World
It's a bit early in the midnight hour for me
To go through all the things that I want to be
I don't believe in everything I see
Y'know I'm blind so why d'you disagree
Take me away, `cause I just dont want to stay
And the lies you make me say are getting deeper every day
These are crazy days but they make me shine
Time keeps rolling by
All around the world
You gotta spread the word
Tell 'em what you heard
You're gonna make a better day
All around the world
You gotta spread the word
Tell 'em what you heard
You know it's gonna be okay
What you gonna do when the walls come falling down
You never move you never make a sound
When you gonna swin with the ridges that you found
If you're lost at sea well I hope that you drown
Take me away, `cause I just dont want to stay
And the lies you make me say are getting deeper every day
These are crazy days but they make me shine
Time keeps rolling by
All around the world
You gotta spread the word
Tell 'em what you heard

(11) It's Getting Better
Say Something
Shout it from the roof tops off your head
Maybe sort of mean something
Make me understand or I'll forget
You could hear the wise speeches
Wish upon a wave that had a sound
Recommend what life teaches
You to build a castle in your head
Maybe the songs that we sing are wrong
Maybe the dreams that we dream are gone
Bring it on home and it wont be long
It's getting better man!
Hey what was that you said to me
Just say the word and I'll be free
And when the stars are shining bright
We're getting better man!
And crashing in upon a wave
It's calling out beyond the grave
Well I'm a fire in the sky
We're getting better man!
Build something
Build a better place and call it home
Even if it means nothing
You'll never ever feel that your alone
`cause maybe the songs that we sing are wrong
Maybe the dreams that we dream are gone
Bring it on home and it wont be long
It's getting better man!
Hey what was that you said to me
Just say the word and I'll be free
Yeah as the fire in the sky
It's getting better man!
And crashing in upon a wave
It's calling out beyond the grave
And when the stars are shining bright
It's getting better man!
It's getting better man!
And what was that you said to me
You told me one day I'd be free
And when the fires burning bright
I'm getting better man!
And crashing in upon a wave
It's calling out beyond the grave
And when the stars are in the sky
We're getting better man
We're getting better man
We're getting better man
We're getting better man
