Is It Any Wonder?
On the surface
he seems sensible
but underneath
the logic is crazy
Like a
cat that walks with cruelty
Or a dog
that always bites for no reason
I could
feel the madness there
but I couldn't
see the streets for the houses
And all
the lies and fantasies
Were suddenly
malicious and dangerous
With every
passing day you put me through
What have
I done to you?
Is it any
wonder that I never close my eyes?
Sisters
of normality
collapse
into convulsions of laughter
Knuckle
walking animals
are swaggering
and spilling their anger
And they're
almost walking upright
As they
try to ape the madmen around them
But the
slightest kindest hint of love
Leaves
them naked snorting like horses
If that's
what's waiting for me on the ground
I hope
I never come down
Is it any
wonder that I never close my eyes?
Here in
this lullaby
We'll leave
them all behind
Thoughtlessly
wasting time
We'll be
gone in the blink of an eye
Is this
really where the story ends
For all
those so called friends
Is it any
wonder that they think I've lost my mind
If that's
what they think then fine
We'll leave
them all behind
Is it any wonder?
We'll leave
them all behind
Hearing
these words of mine
Free For All
See the
wheel turning round
See the
wheel turning round
See the
mad parade of clowns
Shouting
all the others down
Too much
lager and juke-box sound
Too much
lager and juke-box joviality
Stop the
wheel turning round
What are
we going to do?
Won't someone
tell us what to do
What are
we going to do?
Baah!
Baah!
See the
wheel turning round
Stop the
wheel turning round
Stop this
mad parade of clowns
Shouting
all the others down
Balloons
are bursting all around
Celebrities
turn on the crowds
Stop the
wheel turning round
Stop the
wheel turning round
Like a carrot
before the donkey
Lead them
to a better world
Well I
don't believe in you
Or your
world
Like a
carrot before the donkey
Lead them
to a better world
Well I
don't believe in you
What are
we going to do
Won't someone
tell us what to do
Who do
we turn to
Won't someone
tell us what to do
What are
we going to do
Someone
tell us what to do
What are
we going to do
Someone
to turn to
Someone
to turn to
To rule
us yeah
Someone
to take our problems to
Someone
to rule us yeah
Make my
life as easy as you can
baah!
The Healer
Here comes
the sun
Calling
out to everyone
Here comes
the sun
Falling
down on every one
Here comes
the moon
Her shadows
come to swallow me soon
Here comes
the moon
Her shadows
come to swallow me soon
It's alright
You're
not the only one.
There go
my fears
running
on a river of tears
There go
my fears
running
on a river of tears
Here comes
the pain
Here comes
the pain
The hurting
again and again
And again
and again
It's alright
You're
not the only one
So I got
to thinking
Perhaps
I should think about staying
At least
for a moment or two
I'm feeling
shakey
But I'll
be OK
I just
don't know what to say
I don't
know what to do
Please
You can
take this pain away
Please
You can
take this pain away
It's alright
How many
can make you cry?
It's alright
Here comes
the rain
Here comes
the rain
Flushing
all the filth down the drain
Here comes
the sun
Falling
down on every one
Here comes
the sun
Calling
out to everyone
Heal me
It's alright
You're
not the only one
It's alright
Alright
For how
many?
For how
many?
Won't you
call out to me
I'm calling
for you sister
Won't you
call out to me?
Please
Sister
There's
so many sister
Hush now
Denims And Curls
Denims and
curls
Is this
all that you are
No I think
there's something more
Behind
that barracaded door
Are you
hiding in a bedroom singing away
To someone
elses tunes
Are you
frightened by the forces
We've unleashed
in all our passion
Those who
see you
Never see
And those
who hear you
Never hear
They're
just the way they'll always be
You'd better
run little boy
Run little
girl
Sack cloth
and curls
Is this
all that you are
Is this
all that others see
Are they
blind as well as stupid
They can
lock you away
Just for
thinking out loud
And throw
away the key
No-one's
caring how you feel
Or what
is or isn't real
This foolish
world
Will hold
you down
Screw your
feet into the ground
But they
can't take away the stars
Just like
that night on the sands
I was there
too
I held
your hand
Where in
the world is your inspiration
To say
the things you're aching to say
Wherever
that turns out to be
Go there
this day
That's
what my teacher said to me
You'd better
run little boy
Run little
girl
This foolish
world will hold you down
Screw your
feet into the ground
But they
can't take away the stars
Just like
that night on the sands
I'll be
there too
I'll hold
your hand
