Feel

Come and hold my hand
I wanna contact the living
Not sure I understand
This role I've been given

I sit and talk to God
And he just laughs at my plans
My head speaks a language
I don't understand

I just wanna feel real love
Feel the home that I live in
'Cause I got too much life
Running through my veins
Going to waste

I don't wanna die
But I ain't keen on living either
Before I fall in love
I'm preparing to leave her
Scare myself to death
That's why I keep on running
Before I've arrived
I can see myself coming

I just wanna feel real love
Feel the home that I live in
'Cause I got too much life
Running through my veins
Going to waste
And I need to feel real love
And a life ever after
I cannot give it up

I just wanna feel real love
Feel the home that I live in
I got too much love
Running through my veins
Going to waste

I just wanna feel real love
In a life ever after
There's a hole in my soul
You can see it in my face
It's a real big place

Come and hold my hand
I wanna contact the living
Not sure I understand
This role I've been given
Not sure I understand
Not sure I understand
Not sure I understand
Not sure I understand

Something Beautiful

You can't manufacture a miracle
The silence was pitiful, that day
A love is getting too cynical
Passion's just physical, these days
You analyse everyone you meet
But get no sign
Love ain't kind
Every night you admit defeat
And cry yourself blind

If you can't wake up in the morning
'Cause your bed lies vacant at night
If you're lost, hurt, tired or lonely
Can't control it, try as you might
May you find that love that won't leave you
May you find it by the end of the day
You won't be lost, hurt, tired and lonely
Something beautiful will come your way

The DJ said on the radio
Life should be stereo, each day
In the past you cast the unsuitable
Stead of some kind of beautiful
You just couldn't wait
All your friends think you're satisfied
But they can't see your soul, no, no, no
Forgot the time feeling petrified
When they lived alone

If you can't wake up in the morning
'Cause your bed lies vacant at night
If you're lost, hurt, tired or lonely
Can't control it, try as you might
May you find that love that won't leave you
May you find it by the end of the day
You won't be lost, hurt, tired and lonely
Something beautiful will come your way

(It'll come your way)
Some kind of beautiful
(It'll come your way)
Some kind of beautiful
(It'll come your way)
Some kind of beautiful
(It'll come your way)

All your friends think you're satisfied
But they can't see your soul no, no, no
Forgot the time feeling petrified
When they lived alone

If you can't wake up in the morning
'Cause your bed lies vacant at night
If you're lost, hurt, tired or lonely
Can't control it, try as you might
May you find that love that won't leave you
May you find it by the end of the day
You won't be lost, hurt, tired and lonely
Something beautiful will come your way
You won't be lost, hurt, tired and lonely
Something beautiful will come your way

Monsoon

I've sung some songs that were lame
I've slept with girls on the game
I've got my Catholic shame
Lord I'm in purgatory
Basically, it's all come on top for me

I wasn't me when we met
You haven't lost my respect
I'm here to serve and protect
What shape of insanity
Keeps leading you back to me

So put your hands across the water
Oh mushroom
Monsoon
Come soon

Don't wanna piss on your parade
I'm here to make money and get laid
Yeah I'm a star but I'll fade
If you ain't sticking your knives in me
You will be eventually

To all you Sharon's and Michelle's
With all your tales to sell
Save your meat money well
I'm glad that spending a night with me
Guaranteed you celebrity

And I can't talk in a crowd
When I'm alone I'm too loud
You've done your daddy's proud
Thank you for keeping me company
You've all been so nice to me

So put your hands across the water
Oh mushroom
Monsoon
Come soon

Oh Lord
I feel
Nothing
I know much smarter men
Never got this far

I've got too many regrets
I've smoked too many cigarettes
I've had more blondes than brunettes
I'm not expecting your sympathy
But it's all been too much for me

So put your hands across the water
Oh mushroom
Monsoon
Come soon

So put your hands across the water
Oh mushroom
Monsoon
Come soon

Sexed Up

Loose lips sunk ships
I'm getting to grips
With what you said
No it's not in my head
I can't awaken the dead day after day
Why don't we talk about it?
Why do you always doubt that
There can be a better way?
It doesn't make me wanna stay

Why don't we break up?
There's nothing left to say
I've got my eyes shut
Praying they won't stray
Oh we're not sexed up
That's what makes the difference today
I hope you blow away

You say we're fatally flawed
Well I'm easily bored
Is that okay?
Write me off your list
Make this the last kiss
I'll walk away
Why don't we talk about it?
I'm only here don't shout it
Given time we'll forget
Let's pretend we never met

Why don't we break up?
There's nothing left to say
I've got my eyes shut
Praying they won't stray
Oh we're not sexed up
That's what makes the difference today
I hope you blow away

Screw you
I didn't like your taste anyway
I chose you
That's all gone to waste it
Saturday
I'll go out and find another you

Why don't we

Why don't we break up?
There's nothing left to say
I've got my eyes shut
Praying they won't stray
Oh we're not sexed up
That's what makes the difference today
I hope you blow away

I hope you blow away
I hope you blow away
I hope you blow away
Blow away
Away
(Just not today)

Love Somebody

Always and forever is forever young
Your shadow on the pavement
The dark side of the sun
Gotta dream the dream all over
And sleep it tight
You don't wanna sing the Blues
In black and white

And it's hope that springs eternal
For everyone
If it ain't broken
Break it all the damage done

Trying to love somebody
Just wanna love somebody right now
There's just no pleasing me
Trying to love somebody
Just wanna love somebody right now
Baby lay your love on me

Violet in the rainbow just melts away
There's not enough minutes in an hour
Or hours in the day
The song played in a circle but never skips a beat
Stranger in a country I have yet to meet

And it's hope that springs eternal
For everyone
Your lifetime in a second
All the damage done

Trying to love somebody
Just wanna love somebody right now
Guess there's just no pleasing me
I wanna love somebody
Just wanna love somebody right now
Lady lay your love on me

It'll come in your sweet time Lord
I've just gotta let you in
The blind leading the blind Lord
Getting underneath your skin
I can feel you in the silence
Saying let forever be
Love only love will set you free

I wanna love somebody
Wanna love somebody right now
There's just no pleasing me
I wanna love somebody
Just wanna love somebody right now
Lady lay your love on me

It'll come in your sweet time Lord
I've just gotta let you in
The blind leading the blind Lord
Getting underneath your skin
I can feel you in the silence
Saying let forever be
Love and only love will set you free

Revolution

Don't fight the feeling relax
Oh child the knots in your back
You've been holding on
I feel you when you're reaching out

I'll talk you through memories
Just keep breathing with me
It's time to hold my hand
And walk into the revolution

When there's no one to touch
And you've been thinking too much
You only hurt yourself
When it's all about retribution

I see the pain in your face
And paying rent for this space
It's time to lead you on
Come on, it's a revolution

When you can't keep on keeping on
And everything you lean upon is all but gone
Everybody falls sometimes
But love shines on
And on and on and

With love in your eyes and a flame in your heart
You're gonna find yourself some resolution
A million miles with one step
You'll find yourself yet
Walking with the revolution

(get it on get it on get it on get it on get the revolution)
Talking about a revolution
(get it on get it on get it on get it on get the revolution)
Walking with the revolution
(get it on get it on get it on get it on get the revolution)
Taking you higher

Old love lingers on
You're just feeling it wrong
I know you're tired
But when it's time to sleep you're gone forever

Make friends with your past
And you can leave it at last
It's time to find yourself
Walking with the revolution

When you can't keep on keeping on
And everything you lean upon is all but gone
Everybody hurts sometimes
But love shines on and on and on and

Time and tide's on your side
There's no need to hide
I feel your pain
Don't talk to me about evolution
A million miles with one step
You'll find yourself yet
When you're walking with the revolution

Walking with the revolution
A million miles with one step
And you'll find yourself yet
When you're walking with the revolution

(get it on get it on get it on get it on get the revolution)
Walking with the revolution
(get it on get it on get it on get it on get the revolution)
Get running with the revolution
(get it on get it on get it on get it on get the revolution)
It's all about resolution
Talking about the revolution
(get it on get it on get it on get it on get the revolution)
Oh oh
(get it on get it on get it on get it on get the revolution)
Talking about the revolution
(get it on get it on get it on get it on get the revolution)
Lead you on to the revolution

(get it on get it on get it on get it on get the revolution)
Talk about a revolution
(get it on get it on get it on get it on get the revolution)
I feel you here to lead you on to the revolution
(get it on get it on get it on get it on get the revolution)

Revolution yeah

Handsome Man

Hello, did you miss me?
I know I'm hard to resist
Y'all can come and help me
Pick the sweet corn out of this
It's hard to be humble
When you're so fucking big
Did you ever meet a sexier
Male chauvinist pig

I'm gonna milk it till I turn it into cheese
Tell your babes in arms and O.A.P's
Come take a piece of me

If you drop me
I'll fall to pieces on ya
If you don't see me
I don't exist
It's nice to meet you
Now let me go and wash my hands
'Cause you just met
The world's most handsome man
The world's most handsome man

Y'all know who I am
I'm still the boy next door
That's if you're Lord Litchfield and Roger Moore
Have I gone up in the world
Or has the world gone down on me
I'm the one who put the Brits in celebrity

Give in and love it
What's the point in hating me?
You can't argue with popularity
Well you could but you'd be wrong

If you drop me
I'll fall to pieces on ya
If you don't need me
I don't exist
You voted for me
Now let me see a show of hands
Here before you stands

Can you make me laugh and sign this autograph
Though it's not for me
Grip and grin, shake a thing, name and shame
Then I'm out of here
It's not very complicated
I'm just young and overrated...whoa...

Please don't drop me
I'll fall to pieces on ya
If you don't see me
I don't exist
It's nice to meet you
Now let me go and wash my hands
Here before you stands

Please don't drop me
I'll fall to pieces on ya
If you don't need me
I don't exist
It's nice to meet you
Now let me see a show of hands
'Cause you've just met
The world's most handsome man
The world's most handsome man
The world's most handsome man
The world's most handsome man

Come Undone

So unimpressed but so in awe
Such a saint but such a whore
So self aware so full of shit
So indecisive so adamant

I'm contemplating thinking about thinking
It's overrated just get another drink and
Watch me come undone

(come undone)
They're selling razor blades and mirrors in the street
(come undone)
I pray when I'm coming down you'll be asleep
(come undone)
If I ever hurt you your revenge will be so sweet
Because I'm scum, and I'm your son
I come undone
I come undone

So rock and roll, so corporate suit
So damn ugly, so damn cute
So well trained, so animal
So need your love, so fuck you all

I'm not scared of dying
I just don't want to
If I stopped lying I'd just disappoint you
I come undone

(come undone)
They're selling razor blades and mirrors in the street
(come undone)
I pray when I'm coming down you'll be asleep
(come undone)
If I ever hurt you your revenge will be so sweet
Because I'm scum, and I'm your son
I come undone

So write another ballad
Mix it on a Wednesday
Sell it on a Thursday
Buy a yacht by Sunday
It's a love song
A love song

Do another interview
Sing a bunch of lies
Tell about celebrities that I despise
And sing love songs
We sing love songs
So sincere
So sincere

(come undone)
They're selling razor blades and mirrors in the street
(come undone)
I pray when I'm coming down you'll be asleep
(come undone)
A young pretender and my crowds above can see
I come undone
I am scum
Love your son

You gotta love your son
You gotta love your son
Love your son
I am scum
I am scum
I am scum

Me And My Monkey

There was...me and my monkey
Him with his dungarees and rollerblades
Smoking filter tips reclining in the passenger seat of my super-charged jet black Chevrolet
He had the soft-top down
He liked the wind in his face
He said "Son, you ever been to Vegas?" I said "No"
He said "That's where we're gonna go, you need a change of pace"
And when we hit the strip with all the wedding chapels and the neon signs
He said "I left my wallet in El Segundo" and proceeded to take two grand of mine
We made tracks to the Mandalay Bay hotel
Asked the bell boy if he'd take me and my monkey as well
He looked in the passenger seat of my car and with a smile he said
"If your monkey's got that kind of money sir, and we've got a monkey bed!"

Me and my monkey
With a dream and a gun
Hoping my monkey
Don't point that gun at anyone
Me and my monkey
Like Butch and the Sundance Kid
Trying to understand
Why he did what he did
Why he did what he did

And at the elevator I hit the 33rd floor
We had a room up top with the panoramic view like nothing you'd ever seen before
He went to sleep in the bidet and when he awoke
He ran his little monkey fingers through the yellow pages
Called up escort services and ordered some okey doke
Forty minutes later there came a knock at the door
In walked this big bad ass baboon into my bedroom with 3 monkey whores
"Hi! my name is Sunshine - these are my girls
Lace my palm with silver baby and oh yeah they'll rock your world"
So I watched pay-per-view and polished my shoes and my gun
Was diggin' old Kurt Cobain singing 'bout lithium
There came a knock at the door and in walked Sunshine
"What's up, you'd better get your ass in here boy, your monkey's having too much of a good time!"

Me and my monkey
Drove in search of the sun
Me and my monkey
Don't point that gun at anyone
Me and my monkey
Like Billy the Kid
Trying to understand
Why he did what he did
Why he did what he did

Got tickets to see Sheena Easton
The monkey was high
Said it was a burning ambition to see her before he died
We left before encores
He couldn't sit still
Sheena was a blast baby
But my monkey was ill
We went to played black-jack
Kept hitting 23
Couldn't help but notice this Mexican just staring at me
Or was it my monkey?
I couldn't be sure
It's not like you'd never seen a monkey in rollerblades and dungarees before
Now don't test my patience 'cause we're not about to run
That's a bad ass monkey boy and he's packing a gun
"My name is Rodriguez" he says with death in his eye
"I've been chasing you for a long time amigos
And now your monkey's gonna die!"

Me and my monkey
Drove in search of the sun
Me and my monkey
We don't wanna kill no Mexican
But we've got ten itchy fingers
One thing to declare
When the monkey is high
You do not stare
You do not stare
You do not stare

Look's like we've got ourselves a Mexican stand off here boy
And I ain't about to run
Put your gun down boy
How'd I get mixed up with this fucking monkey anyhow

Song 3

Come join the band
Come shag the damned
God I blow them away
A heart of chrome
A broken home
I got plenty to say

Who ya doin'?
Don't spoil my day
A bigger better offer baby
Is on it's way
You gotta love LA

I feel gigantic
Gonna burst a vein
I'm stopping traffic
'Cause they dig the fame
And I'm just the same

So Ebay baby
Haven't seen you lately
Do you still give it away?
So get my peeps
To call your peeps
'Cause we've got nothing to say

Don't feed the models
Don't look at the police
Don't go to Crenshaw Boule
'Cause Whitey can get fleeced
Gotta love LA

I feel gigantic
Gonna burst a vein
I'm stopping traffic
'Cause I dig the fame
I'm hearing voices, voices
Like a jumbo jay
Too many choices, choices
Gotta love LA
Californi-a

Who ya doin' baby?
Don't spoil my day
You've been gloating lately baby
And I dig LA
Got nothing to say

I feel gigantic
Gonna burst a vein
I'm stopping traffic
'Cause I dig the fame

I'm hearing voices, voices
Like a jumbo jay
Too many choices, choices
Gotta love LA
Californi-a
USA

Hot Fudge

Yeeee-haaaa!

Queen bitch eat the rich
I'm on the second course today
I'm not the first
And I won't be the worst
You done most of LA
Can't find a virgin
I can get you a surgeon
24 hours a day
Call her 'Collagen Jeanie'
You big lip meanie
I'm about to be blown away

Come on, sing it

Take me to the place where the sunshine flows
Oh my Sunset Rodeo

Hot fudge
Here comes the judge
There's a green card in the way
The Holy Ghost
And the whole East Coast
Are moving to LA
And we've been
Dreaming of this feeling
Since 1988
Mother, things have got to change
I'm moving to LA

Take the piss
I was English
God bless you Uncle Sam
You got a cool gene pool
And our winter is cruel
And God knows I love to tan
Making cents and dead presidents
Before I could count to ten
With the nation behind me
Can't stop the limey
She's on her back again

Come on, sing it

Take me to the place where the sunshine flows
Oh my Sunset Rodeo

Hot fudge
Here comes the judge
There's a green card in the way
The Holy Ghost
And the whole East Coast
Are moving to LA
'Cause we've been
Dreaming of this feeling

I'm moving to LA

Cursed

Dig your polished nails into the dirt
Rip your skirt off, wipe the hurt off
You know it tears my heart out when you
Flirt with danger and any stranger
You're not as stupid as I look
Before I could read, you wrote the book

Cursed, since your birth dear
And your worst fears have all come true

Held my hand when I got my first tattoo
(I was naked when they penetrated)
Told everyone I'd slept with you
(Thought you liked it and you wouldn't deny it)
Saint Peter's gonna be unfaithful
Tell God he's got a dirty angel

Cursed, since your birth dear
And your worst fears have all come true

Babe you're not the first
Here on earth dear
'Cause I'm still here
And I'm cursed too
Cursed like you

Hush
Baby sleep now
We all love you
We always did

Cursed
Since your birth dear
And your worst fears
Have all come true

Babe you're not the first
Here on earth dear
Cause I'm still here
And I'm cursed too
Cursed like you

Hush
Baby sleep now
We all miss you
We always will

Nan's Song

You said when you'd died that you'd walk with me everyday
And I'd start to cry and say please don't talk that way
With a blink of an eye the Lord came and asked you to leave
You went to a better place but they 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
Bringing 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
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

I Tried Love

Is the Richard Gere gerbil story true?
Who came third in World War II?
Did Sooty sleep with Sue
These things I think about
When I'm out with you

What are the holes in biros for?
Which one's which in The Corrs?
Did Geoff Hurst really score?
'Cause frankly you're a bore
And I'm not

And if it's leaving season
You're second on the bill
If you won't leave me baby
I'll find someone who will

I tried love
I'm sorry
I tried love

Does God ever get it wrong?
Where has Gary Barlow gone?
Why is Christmas day so long?
It just goes on and on and on
Like you

And if it's leaving season
You're the second on the bill
If you won't leave me baby
I'll find someone who will

I tried love
I'm sorry
I tried love

I tried love
And I'm sorry
I tried love

Why is there ketchup on my sleeve?
D'you think that Adam fancied Eve?
What if Eve could not conceive?
And he had to breed with Steve
We'd all be gay
