Oasis

Oasis

It's good (to be free)

Head like a rock spinning round and round
I found it in a hole sitting upside down
You point the finger at me but I don't believe
Paint me a wish on a velvet sky
You demand the answers but I don't know why in my mind
There is no time

But the little things they make me so happy
All I want to do is live by the sea
Little things they make me so happy
But it's good it's good it's good to be free

So what would you say if I said to you
It's not in what you say it's in what you do
You point the finger at me but I don't believe
Bring it on home to where we found
My head like a rock sitting upside down
In my mind there is no time

But the little things they make me so happy
All I want to do is live by the sea
Little things they make me so happy
But it's good it's good it's good to be free

Acquiesce

I don't know what it is
That makes me feel alive
I don't know how to wake
The things that sleep inside
I only wanna see the light
That shines behind your eyes

I hope that I can say
The things I wish I'd said
To sing my soul to sleep
And take me back to bed
You want to be alone
When we could be alive instead

Because we need each other
We believe in one another
And I know we're going to uncover
What's sleepin' in our soul
Because we need each other
We believe in one another
(And) I know we're going to uncover
What's sleepin' in our soul
What's sleepin' in our soul

There are many things
That I would like to know
And there are many places
That I wish to go
But everything's depending
On the way the wind may blow
I don't know what it is
That makes me feel alive
I don't know how to wake
The things that sleep inside
I only wanna see the light
That shines behind your eyes

Because we need each other
We believe in one another
And I know we're going to uncover
What's sleepin' in our soul
Because we need each other
We believe in one another
(And) I know we're going to uncover
What's sleepin' in our soul
What's sleepin' in our soul

What's sleepin' in our soul
What's sleepin' in our soul
'Cause we believe
'Cause we believe
Yeah, we believe
'Cause we believe
'Cause we believe
'Cause we believe
Because we need
Because we need

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, cos 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.

If you're lost at sea well I hope that you drown,

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,

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!

Champagne Supernova

How many special people change
How many lives are living strange
Where were you when we were getting high?
Slowly walking down the hall
Faster than a cannon ball
Where were you while we were getting high?

Some day you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova in the sky
Some day you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova
A champagne supernova in the sky

Wake up the dawn and ask her why
A dreamer dreams she never dies
Wipe that tear away now from your eye
Slowly walking down the hall
Faster than a cannon ball
Where were you when we were getting high?

Some day you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova in the sky
Some day you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova
A champagne supernova in the sky

Cos people believe that they're
Gonna get away for the summer
But you and I, we live and die
The world's still spinning round
We don't know why
Why, why, why, why

How many special people change
How many lives are living strange
Where were you when we were getting high?
Slowly walking down the hall
Faster than a cannon ball
Where were you while we were getting high?

Some day you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova in the sky
Some day you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova
A champagne supernova in the sky

Cos people believe that they're
Gonna get away for the summer
But you and I, we live and die
The world's still spinning round
We don't know why
Why, why, why, why

How many special people change
How many lives are living strange
Where were you when we were getting high?
We were getting high
We were getting high
We were getting high
We were getting high

Cigarettes & Alcohol

Is it my imagination
Or have I finally found something worth living for?
I was looking for some action
But all I found was cigarettes and alcohol

You could wait for a lifetime
To spend your days in the sunshine
You might as well do the white line
Cos when it comes on top . . .

You gotta make it happen!

Is it worth the aggravation
To find yourself a job when there's nothing worth working for?
It's a crazy situation
But all I need are cigarettes and alcohol!

You could wait for a lifetime
To spend your days in the sunshine
You might as well do the white line
Cos when it comes on top . . .

You gotta make it happen!

D'You know what I mean?

Step off a train, all alone at dawn
Back into the hole where I was born
Sun in the sky, never raised an eye to me

There's blood on the tracks, and it must be mine
Fuel on the hill and I feel fine
Dont look back, 'cause you know what you might see

Look into the wall of my minds eye
I think I know but I don't know why
Questions are the answers you might need

Comin' in a mess goin' out in style
I aint good looking, but I'm someones child
No-one can give me the air that's mine to breathe

I met my maker, I made him cry,
And on my shoulder, he asked me why,
His people wont fly through the storm
I said listen up man, they dont even know you're born
All my people right here, right now,
D'Yer Know What I Mean? Yeah Yeah
All my people right here, right now,
D'Yer Know What I Mean? Yeah Yeah
All my people right here, right now,
D'Yer Know What I Mean? Yeah Yeah
Yeah, Yeah,
Yeah, Yeah.
I don't really care for what you believe,
So open up your fist or you wont recieve,
The thoughts and the words of every man you'll meet.
So get up off the floor and believe in life
Nones gonna ever ask you twice,
Get on the bus and bring it all home to me.
I met my maker, I made him cry,
And on my shoulder, he asked me why,
His people wont fly through the storm
I said listen up man, they dont even know you're born
All my people right here, right now,
D'Yer Know What I Mean? Yeah Yeah.
All my people right here, right now,
D'Yer Know What I Mean? Yeah Yeah.

D'Yer Know What I Mean? Yeah Yeah.
Yeah, Yeah,
Yeah, Yeah.

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 dont go away,
Say what you say,
Say that you'll stay,
Forever and a day,
In the time of my life,
Cos 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 dont go away,
Say what you say,
Say that you'll stay,
Forever and a day,
In the time of my life,
Cos 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 dont go away,
Say what you say,
Say that you'll stay,
Forever and a day,
In the time of my life,
Cos 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,
Cos I need more time,
Yes I need more time just to make things right,
Yes I need more time just to make things right,
Yes I need more time just to make things right,
So Don't Go Away.

Don't look back in anger

Slip inside the eye of your mind
Don't you know you might find
A better place to play
You said that you'd once never been
All the things that you've seen
Will slowly fade away

So I'll start the revolution from my bed
Cos you said the brains I had went to my head
Step outside the summertime's in bloom
Stand up beside the fireplace
Take that look from off your face
You ain't ever gonna burn my heart out

So Sally can wait, she knows its too late as we're walking on by
Her soul slides away, but don't look back in anger I hear you say

Take me to the place where you go
Where nobody knows if it's night or day
Please don't put your life in the hands
Of a Rock n Roll band
Who'll throw it all away

So I'll start the revolution from my bed
Cos you said the brains I had went to my head
Step outside the summertime's in bloom
Stand up beside the fireplace
Take that look from off your face
You ain't ever gonna burn my heart out

So Sally can wait, she knows its too late as we're walking on by
Her soul slides away, but don't look back in anger I hear you say

Don't look back in anger
Don't look back in anger
Don't look back in anger
At least not today

Fade away

When I was young
I thought I had my own key
I knew exactly what I wanted to be
Now I'm sure
You've boarded up every door

Lived in a bubble
Days were never ending
Was not concerned
About what life was sending
Fantasy was real
Now I know much
About the way I feel

I'll paint you the picture
'Cause I don't think you live round here no more
I've never even seen
The key to the door
We only get what we will settle for

While we're living
The dreams we have as children
Fade away
While we're living
The dreams we have as children
Fade away
While we're living
The dreams we have as children
Fade away, away, away
They fade away, away, away

Now my life has turned
Another corner
I think it's only best
That I should warn you
Dream it while you can
Maybe someday I'll make you understand

I'll paint you the picture
'Cause I don't think you live round here no more
I've never even seen
The key to the door
We only get what we will settle for

While we're living
The dreams we have as children
Fade away
While we're living
The dreams we have as children
Fade away
While we're living
The dreams we have as children
Fade away
They fade away, away, away
Fade away, away, away

Fade in-out

Get on the rollercoaster
The fair's in town today
Y'Gotta be bad enough to beat the brave

So get on the helter skelter
Bowl into the fray
Y'Gotta be bad enough to beat the brave

You fade in-out
You fade in-out
Without a doubt
I don't see no shine
Tomorrow we'll be castaway

Coming in-out of nowhere
Singin' rhapsody
Y'gotta be bad enough to wanna be

Sitting upside a high-chair
With the devils refugee
Is gonna be blinded by the light
That follows me

She fade in-out
She fade in-out
Without a doubt
I don't see no shine
Today is just a daydream
Tomorrow we'll be castaway

Gas panic!

What tongueless ghost of sin crept through my curtains?
Sailing on a sea of sweat on a stormy night
I think he don't got a name but I can't be certain
And in me he starts to confide

That my family don't seem so familiar
And my enemies all know my name
And if you hear me tap on your window
Better get on yer knees and pray panic is on the way

My pulse pumps out a beat to the ghost dancer
My eyes are dead and my throat's like a black hole
And if there's a god would he give another chancer
An hour to sing for his soul

Cos my family don't seem so familiar
And my enemies all know my name
And when you hear me tap on yer window
Yer better get on yer knees and pray panic is on the way

Cos my family don't seem so familiar
And my enemies all know my name
And when you hear me tap on yer window
Then you get on your knees and you better pray
Cos my family don't seem so familiar
And my enemies all know my name
And when you hear me tap on your window
Yer better get on yer knees and pray
Panic is on the way
Panic is on the way

Go let it out

Paint no illusion, try to click with whatcha got
Taste every potion cos if yer like yerself a lot
Go let it out, go let it in, go let it out

Life is precocious in a most perculiar way
Sister psychosis don't got a lot to say
She go let it out, she go let it in, she go let it out
She go let it out, she go let it in, she go let it out

Is it any wonder why Princes & Kings
Are clowns that caper in their sawdust rings
And ordinary people that are like you and me
We're the keepers of their destiny

I'm goin' leaving this city, I'm goin' drivin' outta town
Your comin' with me the right time is always now
To go let it out, go let it in, go let it out
To go let it out, go let it in, go let it out

Is it any wonder why Princes and Kings
Are clowns that caper in their sawdust rings
Cos ordinary people that are like you and me
We're the builders of their destiny
We're the builders of their destiny
We're the builders of their destiny
We're the builders of their destiny

So go let it out - go let it in
Go let it out - don't let it in
Go let it out - go let it in
Go let it out - don't let it - don't let it in

Going nowhere

I hate the way that you've taken back
Everything you've given to me
And the way that you'd always say
It's nothing to do with me
Different versions of many men
Come before you came
All their questions was similar
The answers just the same

I could do with a motor car
Maybe a Jaguar maybe a plane or a day of fame
I wanna be a millionaire so can you take me there
Wanna be wild cos my life's so tame
Here am I, going nowhere on a train
Here am I, growing older in the rain

Half the world away

I would like to leave this city
This old town don't smell too pretty and
I can feel the warning signs running around my mind
And when I leave this island I'll book myself into a soul asylum
And I can feel the warning signs running around my mind

So here I go still scratching around the same old hole
My body feels young but my mind is very old
So what do you say?
You can't give me the dreams that are mine anyway
You're half the world away
Half the world away
Half the world away
I've been lost I've been found but I don't feel down.

So here I go still scratching around in the same old hole
My body feels young but my mind if very old
So what do you say?
You can't give me the dreams that are mine anyway
You're half the world away
Half the world away
Half the world away
I've been lost I've been found but I don't feel down

Headshrinker

I know a girl who's lost and lonely
Sits by the phone on her own
But the phone don't ring
And the birds don't sing in her tree
She lost herself in a haze of pity
And doesn't know where to run
Needs a headshrinker now
And I think its time we had some fun

Lost in a fog
Up a tree like a dog
And I'm out of here
I got no name
And I feel no shame
And I got no fear
And I bow down
To the tears of a clown
Whatever's going down
Is coming around
I hope you don't regret today
For the rest of your lives

For the rest of your lives
For the rest of your lives
For the rest of your lives

Helter Skelter

When I get to the bottom I go back to the top of the slide
Where I stop and I turn and I go for a ride
Get to the bottom and I see you again
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

Do you, don't you want me to love you?
I'm coming down fast but I'm miles above you
Tell me, tell me, tell me the answer
You may be a lover but you ain't no dancer.

Helter skelter
Helter skelter
Helter skelter.

Do you, don't you want me to make you?
I'm coming down fast but don't let me break you
Tell me, tell me, tell me the answer
You may be a lover but you ain't no dancer.

Look out
Helter skelter

Helter skelter

Look out, cause here she comes.

When I get to the bottom I go back to the top of my slide
And I stop and I turn and I go for a ride
Get to the bottom and I see you again
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

I am the walrus (live)

I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together
See how they run Iike pigs from a gun, see how they fly, I'm crying

Sitting on a cornflake, waiting for the van to come
Corporation tee-shirt, stupid bloody Tuesday
Man, You beer naughty boy, you let your face grow long
I am the eggman, oh they are the eggmen, oh I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob

Mister city policeman sitting
Pretty little policemen in a row
See how they fly like Lucy in the sky, see how they run
I'm crying, I'm crying, I'm crying, I'm crying

Yellow matter custard, dripping from a dead dog's eye
Crabalocker fishwife, pornographic priestess
Boy you been a naughty girl you let your knickers down
I am the eggman, oh they are the eggmen, oh I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob

Sitting in an English garden waiting for the sun
If the sun don't come, you get a tan from standing in the English rain
I am the eggman, oh they are the eggmen, oh I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob

Expert textpert choking smokers, don't you think the joker laughs at you?
See how they smile like pigs in a sty, see how they snied, I'm crying

Semolina pilchards, climbing up the Eiffel Tower
Elementary penguin singing Hare Krishna man, you should have seen them kicking Edgar Allan Poe
I am the eggman, oh they are the eggmen, oh I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob
G'goo goo g'joob, goo goo g'joob, g'goo goo g'joob, goo

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
Cos 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 cost 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 an 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,
Cos 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,
Cos in the end your laugh means nothing.

To feel a little down today,
But you ain't got much to say,

Who's gonna miss you when you're not there,
You know we don't care,
You know we don't care.

Cos 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,
Cos baby after all,

You'll never forget my name.

It's gettin' better (man)

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 you sing are wrong
Maybe the dreams that we dream are gone
Bring it on home and it won't be long
It's getting better, man
And what was that you said to me
Just say the word and I'll be free
And while the stars are shining bright
It's getting better, man
And crashing in upon a wave
It's calling out beyond the grave
I'll light a fire in the sky
It's getting better, man

Build something
Build a better place and call it home
Even if it means nothing
Never ever feel that you're alone

And what was that you said to me
Just say the word and I'll be free
And while the stars are shining bright
It's getting better, man
And crashing in upon a wave
It's calling out beyond the grave
I'll light the fire in the sky
It's getting better, man
It's getting better, man
It's getting better, man
It's getting better, man
It's getting better, man
It's getting better, man
It's getting better, man
It's getting better, man
It's getting better, man

Listen up

Listen up
What's the time said today
I'm gonna speak my mind
Take me up
To the top of the world
I wanna see my crime

Day by day
There's a man in a suit
Who's gonna make you pay
For the thoughts
That you think and the words
They won't let you say

One fine day
Gonna leave you all behind
It wouldn't be so bad
If I had more time

Sailing down a river alone
I've been trying to find
My way back home
But I don't believe in magic
Life is automatic But I don't mind being on my own
No, I don't mind being on my own

(Repeat from top)

Sailing down a river alone
I've been trying to find
My way back home
But I don't believe in magic
Life is automatic
But I don't mind being on my own
I said that I don't mind
Being on my own
No, I don't mind being on my own
I said I don't mind being on my own

Live forever

Maybe I don't really want to know
How your garden grows
I just want to fly
Lately did you ever feel the pain
In the morning rain
As it soaks it to the bone

Maybe I just want to fly
I want to live I don't want to die
Maybe I just want to breath
Maybe I just don't believe
Maybe you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever

Maybe I don't really want to know
How your garden grows
I just want to fly
Lately did you ever feel the pain
In the morning rain
As it soaks it to the bone

Maybe I will never be
All the things that I want to be
But now is not the time to cry
Now's the time to find out why
I think you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever
We're gonna live forever
Gonna live forever
Live forever
Forever

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.

Cos 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,
We'll have our say,
Cos my star's gonna shine.

Cos 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.

My big mouth

Everybody knows
And no one's saying nothing

Is the sound so very loud
That no one can hear?

I got something in my shoes
That's keeping me from walking

Down along a winding road
Back home to you

A Rolling Stone
Cease to be
And swear she's never 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
Who'll put on my shoes while I'm walking
Slowly down the hall of fame
It's for my big mouth
You can fly your plane
Who'll put on my shoes while I'm walking
Slowly down the hall of fame

I ain't never spoke to god
And I ain't never been to heaven

Seen machine gunnings away
Even though the man was given

As you look into the eyes
Of a bloody cold assassin

Only then you realize
This is what you call redemption

When all your songs
Cease to be
That's what you get 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
Who'll put on my shoes while I'm walking
Slowly down the hall of fame
It's for my big mouth
You can fly your plane
Who'll put on my shoes while I'm walking
Slowly down the hall of fame
Slowly down the hall of fame

When all your songs
Cease to be
That's what you get 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
Who'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
Slowly down the hall of fame
Slowly down the hall of fame

Rock 'n' roll star

I live my life in the city
There's no easy way out
The day's moving just too fast for me
I need some time in the sunshine
I've gotta slow it right down
The day's moving just too fast for me

I live my life for the stars that shine
People say it's just a waste of time
When they said I should feed my head
That to me was just a day in bed
I'll take my car and drive real far
You're not concerned about the way we are
In my mind my dreams are real
Now you're concerned about the way I feel

Tonight, I'm a rock 'n' roll star
Tonight, I'm a rock 'n' roll star

I live my life in the city
There's no easy way out
The day's moving just too fast for me
I need some time in the sunshine
I've gotta slow it right down
The day's moving just too fast for me

I live my life for the stars that shine
People say it's just a waste of time
When they said I should feed my head
Well, that to me was just a day in bed
I'll take my car and drive real far
You're not concerned about the way we are
In my mind my dreams are real
Now you're concerned about the way I feel

Tonight, I'm a rock 'n' roll star
Tonight, I'm a rock 'n' roll star
Tonight, I'm a rock 'n' roll star

You're not down with who I am
Look at you now, you're all in my hands
Tonight

Tonight, I'm a rock 'n' roll star
Tonight, I'm a rock 'n' roll star

It's just rock 'n' roll

It's just rock 'n' roll

Rocki' chair

I'm older than I'd wish to be
This town hold no more for me
All my life I try to find another way
I don't care for your attitude
You bring me down I think you're rude
All my life I try to make a better day

It's hard enough being alone
Sitting here by the phone
Waiting for my memories
To come and play

It's hard enough sitting there
Rockin' in your rockin' chair
It's all too much to take
When you're not there

Roll with it

You gotta roll with it
You gotta take your time
You gotta say what you say
Don't let anybody get in your way
'Cause it's all too much for me to take

Don't ever stand aside
Don't ever be denied
You wanna be who you'd be
If you're coming with me

I think I've got a feeling I've lost inside
I think I'm gonna take me away and hide
I'm thinking of things that I just can't abide

I know the roads down which your life will drive
I find the key that lets you slip inside
Kiss the girl, she's not behind the door
But you know I think I recognize your face
But I've never seen you before

You gotta roll with it
You gotta take your time
You gotta say what you say
Don't let anybody get in your way
'Cause it's all too much for me to take

I know the roads down which your life will drive
I find the key that lets you slip inside
Kiss the girl, she's not behind the door
But you know I think I recognize your face
But I've never seen you before

You gotta roll with it
You gotta take your time
You gotta say what you say
Don't let anybody get in your way
'Cause it's all too much for me to take

Don't ever stand aside
Don't ever be denied
You wanna be who you'd be
If you're coming with me

I think I've got a feeling I've lost inside
I think I've got a feeling I've lost inside

Shakermaker

I'd like to be somebody else and not know where I've been
I'd like to build myself a house out of plasticine
Shake along with me
I've been driving in my car with my friend Mr. Soft
Mr. Clean and Mr. Ben are living in my loft
Shake along with me!

I'm sorry but I just don't know I know
I said I told you so
But when you're happy and you're feeling fine
Then you'll know it's the right time
It's the right time
To shake along with me!

Mister Sifter sold me songs
when I was just sixteen
Now he stops at traffic lights
but only when they're green

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.

Stand By Me,
Nobody knows the way it's gonna be,
Stand By Me,
Nobody knows the way it's gonna be,
Stand By Me,
Nobody knows the way it's gonna be,
Stand By Me,
Nobody knows,
Yeah nobody knows,
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 will never be your home,

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.

Maybe I can see, yeah,
But don't you know the cold and wind and rain don't know
They only seem to come and go, away.

Stand By Me,
Nobody knows the way it's gonna be,
Stand By Me,
Nobody knows the way it's gonna be,
Stand By Me,
Nobody knows the way it's gonna be,
Stand by me,
Nobody knows,
Yeah God only knows,
The way it's gonna be.

Stay Young

One way out is all you're ever gonna get
From those who'll hand it out don't never let it upset you
Cos they'll put words into our mouths they're making us feel so ashamed

Making us take the blame
Making us cold in the night
Making us question my heart and soul
And I think that it's not quite right

Hey! stay young and invincible
Cos we know just what we are
And come what may we're unstoppable
Cos we know just what we are

Feed your head with all the things you need
When you're hungry
Stay in bed and sleep all day as long as it's Sunday
Cos they'll put words into your mouth they're making you feel so ashamed

Step out

What she said
She said to me
Take me high on a mountain side
She was dressed up in leopard skin
And her soul would never be denied

I met her down the disco in a beat up car
She was burning down the road
She looked just like a star with a Jaguar
She needs to lighten her load

And when you might
Think you're gonna cry
It will be all right
Step out tonight

You might
Think you're gonna cry
It will be all right
Step out tonight

What I said I said to her
I'm alive when you walk that way
Can you hear what I can hear?
It's the sound of a brand new day

She met me down a disco in a beat up car
I was burning down the road
I can be a star in a Jaguar
I need to lighten my load

Because you might think you're gonna cry
It will be all right
Step out tonight

You might
Think you're gonna cry
It will be all right
Step out tonight

My whole life still sinking in the water
I need a ship not your sweet lip tonight

You might
Think you're gonna cry
It will be all right
Step out tonight

You might
Think you're gonna cry
It will be all right
Step out tonight

Supersonic

I need to be myself
I can't be no one else
I'm feeling supersonic
Give me gin and tonic
You can have it all but how much do you want it?
You make me laugh
Give me your autograph
Can I ride with you in your BMW ?
You can sail with me in my yellow submarine

You need to find out
'Cos no one's gonna tell you what I'm on about
You need to find a way for what you want to say
But before tomorrow

'Cos my friend said he'd take you home
He sits in a corner all alone
He lives under a waterfall
No body can see him
No body can ever hear him call

You need to be yourself
You can't be no one else
I know a girl called Elsa
She's into Alka Seltzer
She sniffs it through a cane on a supersonic train
She made me laugh
I got her autograph
She done it with a doctor on a helicopter
She's sniffin in her tissue
Sellin' the Big Issue

She needs to find out
'Cos no one's gonna tell you what I'm on about
She needs to find a way for what she wants to say
But before tomorrow

'Cos my friend said he'd take you home
He sits in a corner all alone
He lives under a waterfall
No body can see him
No body can ever hear him call

Talk tonight

Sittin' on my own
Chewin' on a bone
A thousand million
Miles from home
When Something hit me
Somewhere right between the eyes

Sleepin' on a plane
You know you can't complain
You took your last chance
Once again
I landed, stranded
Hardly even knew your name

I wanna talk tonight
Until the mornin' light
'Bout how you saved my life
You and me see how we are
You and me see how we are

All your dreams are made
Of Strawberry lemonade
And you make sure
I eat today
You take me walking
To where you played
When you were young

I'll never say that I
Won't ever make you cry
And this I'll say
I don't know why
I know I'm leavin'
But I'll be back another day

I wanna talk tonight
Until the mornin' light
'Bout how you saved my life
(You saved my life)
I wanna talk tonight
(I wanna talk tonight)
'Bout how you saved my life
(I wanna talk tonight)
'Bout how you saved my life
(I wanna talk tonight)
'Bout how you saved my life
(I wanna talk tonight)
'Bout how you saved my life

I wanna talk tonight

The girl in the dirty shirt

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
Cos 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 cost 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,

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,
Cos in the end your laugh means nothing.

To feel a little down today,
But you ain't got much to say,

Who's gonna miss you when you're not there,
You know we don't care,
You know we don't care.

The masterplan

Take the time to make some sense
Of what you want to say
And cast your words away upon the waves
Bring them back with Acquiesce
On a ship of hope today
And as they fall upon the shore
Tell them not to fear no more
Say it loud and sing it proud
And they...

Will dance if they want to dance
Please brother take a chance
You know they're gonna go
Which way they wanna go
All we know is that we don't know
What is gonna be
Please brother let it be
Life on the other hand won't let you understand
Why we're all part of the masterplan

I'm not saying right is wrong
It's up to us to make
The best of all things that come our way
And all the things that came have past
The answer's in the looking glass
There's four and twenty million doors
Down life's endless corridor
Say it loud and sing it proud
And they...

Will dance if they want to dance
Please brother take a chance
You know they're gonna go
Which way they wanna go
All we know is that we don't know
What is gonna be
Please brother let it be
Life on the other hand won't let you understand
Why we're all part of the masterplan

Underneath the sky

Underneath the sky of red
Is a storyteller sleeping alone
He has no face and he has no name
And his whereabouts are sort of unknown

All he needs is his life ln a suitcase
It belongs to a friend of a friend
And as we drink to ourselves
We'll amuse ourselves
Underneath the sky, underneath the sky again
Underneath the sky again

So wish me away to an unknown place
Am I living in a land with no name
I'll be making a start with a brand new heart
Stop me making sense again

All we need is our lives in a suitcase
They belong to a friend of a friend's
And as we drink to ourselves
We'll amuse ourselves
Underneath the sky, underneath the sky again
Underneath the sky again

Who feels love?

Found what I'd lost inside
My spirit has been purified
Take a thorn from my pride
And hand in hand we'll take a walk outside

Thank you for the sun the one that shines on everyone
Who feels love
Now there's a million years between my fantasies & fears
I feel love

I'm leaving all that I see
Now all my emotions fill the air I breath

Now you understand that this is not the promised land
They spoke of
There's nothing more to be
If you can be the remedy who heals love

Wonderwall

Today is gonna be the day
That they're gonna throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you gotta do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do about you now

Backbeat the word was on the street
That the fire in your heart is out
I'm sure you've heard it all before
But you never really had a doubt
I don't believe that anybody feels
The way I do about you now

And all the roads we have to walk along are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
There are many things that I would
Like to say to you
I don't know how

Because maybe
You're gonna be the one who saves me
And after all
You're my wonderwall

Today was gonna be the day
But they'll never throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you're not to do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do
About you now

And all the roads that lead to you were winding
And all the lights that light the way are blinding
There are many things that I would like to say to you
I don't know how

I said maybe
You're gonna be the one who saves me
And after all
You're my wonderwall

Said maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
You're gonna be the one that saves me
You're gonna be the one that saves me
