Eternity
Close your eyes so you don't feel them
They don't need to see you cry
I can't promise I will heal you
But if you want to I will try
To sing this summer serenade
The past is done we've been betrayed It's true
Some might say the truth will out
But I believe without a doubt in you
You were there for summer dreaming
And you gave me what I need
And I hope you find your freedom
For eternity
For eternity
Yesterday when we were walking
You talked about your ma and dad
What they did that made you happy
What they did that made you sad
We sat and watched the sun go down
Then picked a star before we lost the moon
Youth is wasted on the young
Before you know it's come and gone too soon
You were there for summer dreaming
And you gave me what I need
And I hope you find your freedom
For eternity
For eternity
You were there for summer dreaming
And you are a friend indeed
And I hope you find your freedom
Eventually
You were there for summer dreaming
And you gave me what I need
And I know you'll find your freedom
Eventually
For eternity
Get A Little High
You wake up in the middle of
The thunder of a scream
And you realise that it was yours
You don't know what to tell them
'Cause you don't know where you've been
And you've been late so many times before
It's only natural to feel like you're sinking
It's only human to be so unprepared
Don't worry baby
If you get a little high
It's just a phase to get you through
Getting by
So you get a little restless
And you get a little wasted
It's just a little light entertainment
Embrace it
It might just save your life
You always say you're sorry
But you never know what for
And it's been happening more and more
Act your age and not your shoe size
And blah blah blah blah blah
That's your role model
Slammin’ the door
So it's only natural to feel
The guilt of a nation
It's only human when you' re young
You're gonna cry
Don't worry baby
If you get a little high
It's just a phase to get you through
Getting by
So you get a little restless
And you get a little wasted
It's just a little light entertainment
Embrace it
It might just save your life
So where else can you go to
Cause no one's given you the book
About what to say and how to feel
And what you should and shouldn't have took
It's feelings that your fearing
That's why you step outside your mind
Don't look back
Cause if you don't crack
You get to sing this lullaby
You get to sing this lullaby
Don't worry baby
If you get a little high
It's just a phase to get you through
Getting by
So you get a little restless
And you get a little wasted
It's just a little light entertainment
Embrace it
Don't worry baby if you get a little high
It's just a phase to get you through getting by
You do lots of complaining and do nothing to change it
Well that's a little light entertainment
Embrace it, it might just save your life
Or it might just change your life
It's Only Us
And they want us to grow up
We don't want to get a job
We all need a decent rock
Where it's all Kicking off
Baby it's alright
Baby it's alright
You don't need to call it off
Baby it's alright
Baby it's alright
It's Only Us
We just stopped for cheaper thrills
Since the price went up on pills
From Stoke-On-Trent to Beverley Hills
Baby it's alright
Baby it's alright
You don't need to call it off
Baby it's alright
Baby it's alright
It's Only Us
It's Only Us
Baby it's alright
Baby it's alright
You don't need to call it off
Baby it's alright
Baby it's alright
It's Only Us
It's Only Us
My Culture
Intro:
I'm the sum total of my ancestors
I carry their DNA
We are representatives of a long line of people
And we carried them around either with
This long line of people
That goes back to the beginning of time
And when we meet - they meet other lines of people
And we say bring together the lines of me
Maxi Jazz:
When I look back over the years
at the things that brought tears to my eyes
papa said we have to be wise
to live long lives
now I recognise
what my father said before he dies
vocalise things I've left unsaid
left my spirit unfed for too long
I’m coming home to my family
Where I can be strong
Be who I planned to be
Within me my ancestory
Givin' me continuity
Would it be remiss to continue in this way
would you rather I quit
come with the other shit
making people's hips sway
lip service I pay but I’m nervous
I pray for all the mothers who get no sleep
like a lifeline I light lines cause my compassion is deep
for the people who fashioned me my soul to keep
and this is who I happen to be
and if I don’t see that I’m strong then I won't be
This is what my Daddy told me
I wished he would hold me
A little more than he did
But he taught me my culture
And how to live positive
I never wanna shame
The blood in my veins and bring pain
to my sweet grandfathers face
in his resting place
I make haste to learn and not waste
everything my forefathers earned in tears
for my culture
Robbie:
Fall back again
Crawl from the water
Maxi Jazz:
for my culture
Robbie:
water to air
you'e on your feet again
your feet again
Hello Dad, remember me?
I'm the man you thought I'd never be
I'm the boy who you reduced to tears
Dad I'd been lonely for 27 years
Yeah, that's right my name's Bob
I'm the one who landed the popstars job
I'm the one who you told, look, don't touch?
and the kid who wouldn't amount to much
I believe in the senses out of sound
I have always been too loud
won't you help me drown it out?
I'm what I feel
and what I'm feeling is surreal
I'm a massive spinnin' wheel s'always digging in my heels
Now I got the faith to
Fall back again
Crawl from the water
water to air
you're on your feet again
your feet again.
Maxi Jazz:
Hah, lace up your booty
Going back to the roots continue my interlude
Feed freaking for loot
And my spell’s been to check what your future brings is now
and your forefathers further know how
but now what happened to the world without the hatred
Use your head if the needle is wise be the thread
And weave ancestral wisdom yours by best
spreading the lords word over this broad earth

My Way
And now, the end is near
And so I face the final curtain
My friend, I'll say it clear
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain
I've lived a life that's full
I've traveled each and ev'ry highway
And more, much more than this
I did it my way
Regrets, I've had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption
I planned each charted course
Each careful step along the byway
And more, much more than this
I did it my way
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all, when there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it out
I faced it all and I stood tall
And did it my way
I've loved, I've laughed and cried
I've had my fill, my share of losing
And now, as tears subside
I find it all so amusing
To think I did all that
And may I say - not in a shy way
No, oh no not me
I did it my way
For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught
To say the things he truly feels
And not the words of one who kneels
The record shows I took the blows
And did it my way
Nobody Someday
I'm a gigolo, I'm Joseph
I'm a satellite of sun
I'm everybody that I know
they're known for being wrong
And if I'm not mistaken
this is my heart breaking
I'm a man who threw it all away
Destiny is calling
telling me to be boring
and I don't care
anyway
gonna be nobody someday
gonna be nobody someday
I'm the demon that you fear
I'm the joker, I'm the thief
I'm a lonesome cowboy rider
I'm the Indian chief
got to watch my figure
boy, if I get much bigger
they'll stick a pin on me
and I'll blow away
but I get richer
while they take my picture
taking my soul away
gonna be nobody someday
gonna be nobody someday
I'm a moonlight serenade
I'm your bed when you're crawled
I'm the caption of Titanic
I'm the passenger in the hall
And from the way I'm thinking
We both be sinking
And knew before we sailed away
At the tip of my ego
It's all you saw anyway
Gonna be nobody someday
Gonna be somebody .. la la ..
Not Of This Earth
Not of this earth
You've changed places with the sun
I know that you're the one
I love what we've become
Not of this earth
I wear you like a shroud
I know I'll make you proud
You've done your crying now
She's not of this earth
And I don't have the means to search
If I ever leave this world
You will have a song to sing
So that you know what you are worth
Not of this earth
She came walking down my lane
I've learned to laugh again
Like a moth to a flame
Not of this earth
Not surprised we're unashamed
She's gonna have to change her name
Then we'll know that we're the same
She's not of this earth
And I believe we've seen the worst
If I ever leave this world
You will have a song to sing
So you know what you are worth
Not of this earth
(Better get used to this smile)
Not of this earth
(Gonna be around for a while)
Not of this earth
(Spend to much time being cursed)
Not of this earth
Not of this earth
You changed places with the sun
I know that you're the one
I love what we've become
Not of this earth
I wear you like a shroud
I know I'll make you proud
You've done your crying now
Not of this earth
Not of this earth
Not of this earth
Not of this earth
Not of this earth
Not of this earth
Not of this earth
Not of this earth
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 of a place I've never been
And something no one said
When I was 17
One fine day
In the middle of the night
You'll 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 used to yet
One fine day
In the middle of the night
You'll 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'll never really know
How much you didn't mean to me
One fine day
In the middle of the night
You'll wake up in it
One fine day
In the middle of the night
But you probably won't admit it
We Are The Champions
I've paid my dues
Time after time
I've done my sentence
But committed no crime
And bad mistakes
I've made a few
I've had my share of sand
Kicked in my face
But I've come through
And I need to go on and on and on and on
We are the champions - my friend
And we'll keep on fighting till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions of the world
I've taken my bows
And my curtain calls
You've bought me fame and fortune
And everything that goes with it
I thank you all
But it's been no bed of roses no pleasure cruise
I consider it a challenge before the whole human race
And I ain't gonna lose
And I need to go on and on and on and on
We are the champions - my friend
And we'll keep on fighting till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions of the world
We are the champions - my friend
And we'll keep on fighting till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champion
You're History
Well you were collecting for your sex appeal
He was in killing fields, over you
You went and took away his self respect
Put him out like a cigarette, you blew
Don't bother coming home
You've said all you've got to say, yeah
He can get with the girls again
Cause he's a charming man, it's true
He can drink with the boys tonight
And have a fight alright, then spew
You're history,
You're history
Got your tits done and moved out the very next day
All you left was the bill to pay
What a front
Could she not see that you're a righteous man
Bible in hand, cupid stunt
He used to want your love
Now he wants you to go away, yeah
He can drink 'til he's comatosed
Yeah he rocks the most, can't you see
He's got diamonds in his eyes tonight, could give you quite a fright
No sympathy
You're history
You're history
Don't bother coming home
You've said all you've got to say
He can get with the girls again
He's a charming man, it's true
He can drink with the boys all night
And have a fight alright, then spew
He will drink 'til he's comatose, yeah he rocks the most
Can't you see
He's got diamonds in his eyes tonight
Could give you quite a fright
Yes Siree
You're history
You're history
You're The Why
I shuffled through the modes of bad behaviour
And hankered for the desolated dawn
I couldn't cope with yet another saviour
To steer me from the way that I was born
Then like a ton of bricks the dawn descended
Recalcitrance was hurtled to the floor
The citadel lay breached and undefended
You brought a love I'd never known before
I'll want you till the seasons lose their mystery
I'll need you till the birds forget to fly
I'll love you more than anyone in history
Wherever there's a wherefore you're the why
To love someone:
Kiss their butt and then you tell her you'll phone,
Just to find someone that makes you right
Giving it up, that's if it takes all night.
There's so much I want your hands to do,
Picks it up and make it real, real good.
Check your light's off,
Take your bags home,
Here we go
