I would dig a thousand more, if I needed to I look around the grave, for an escape route of old routines
There doesn't seem to be any other way
Cause I've started falling apart I'm not savouring life
I've forgotten how good it could be to feel alive
Wee Solo
Crazy as it sounds you won't, feel as low as you feel right now
At least that's what I've been told by everyone I whisper empty sounds in your ear and hope that you won't let go
Take the pieces and build them skywards
'Cause I've started falling apart I'm not savouring life
I've forgotten how good it could be to feel alive
I've started falling apart I'm not savouring life
Take the pieces and build them skywards
I've forgotten how good it could be to feel alive
Take the pieces and build them skywards
Wee Solo
I've started falling apart I'm not savouring life
Take the pieces and build them skywards
I've forgotten how good it could be to feel alive
Take the pieces and build them skywards
I've started falling apart I'm not savouring life
Take the pieces and build them skywards
I've forgotten how good it could be to feel alive
Take the pieces and build them skywards
Take the pieces and build them skywards
And take the pieces and build them skywards
And take the pieces and build them up to the sky

Cats in the Cradle
My child arrived just the other day
Came to the world in the usual way
But there were planes to catch and bills to pay
He learned to walk while I was away
He was talkin' 'fore I knew it
And as he grew he said "I'm gonna be like you, dad"
"You know I'm gonna be like you"
And the cats in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man on the moon
When you comin' home?
Son, I don't know when
We'll get together then
You know we'll have a good time then
Well, my son turned ten just the other day
He said, "Thanks for the ball, dad, come on, let's play"
"Could you teach me to throw?"
I said, "Not today, I got a lot to do" He said, "That's okay" And he walked away and he smiled and he said "You know, I'm gonna be like him, " yeah
You know I'm gonna be like him
CHORUS
Well he came from college just the other day
So much like a man I just had to say "I'm proud of you" "Could you sit for a while?"
He shook his head, and he said with a smile
"What I'd really like, dad, is to borrow the car keys"
"See you later" "Can I have them, please?"
CHORUS Yeah
I've long since retired, my son's moved away I called him up just the other day "I'd like to see you, if you don't mind" He said, "I'd love to, dad, if I could find the time"
"You see my new job's a hassle and the kids have the flu"
"But it's sure nice talkin' to you, dad"
"It's been sure nice talkin' to you"
And as I hung up the phone it occurred to me
He'd grown up just like me
My boy was just like me
CHORUS x 2
To be with you
Hold on little girl, Show me what he's done to you
Stand up little girl, A broken heart can't be that bad
When it's through, it's through
Fate will twist the both of you
So come on baby come on over
Let me be the one to show you
I'm the one who wants to be with you
Deep inside I hope you feel it too (Feel it too)
Waited on a line of greens and blues (Waited on a line)

I've done everything for you, You've done nothin' for me I've done everything for you, You've done nothin' for me
You knew someday, I'd have a whole lot of money, I'd be a millionaire But when that didn't happen overnight, I found out how much you really cared
Well, all you want is a whole lot of money, All the rest is just jivin', honey

CHORUS
You've done nothin' for me
You've done nothin' for me
You've done nothin'
You've done nothin'
You've done nothin' for me
I want you to want me
I want you to want me, I need you to need me
I'd love you to love me, I'm beggin' you to beg me
I want you to want me, I need you to need me I'd love you to love me.
I'll shine up my old brown shoes, I'll put on a brand new shirt I'll get home early from work, If you say that you love me
Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I See you cryin' (cryin, cryin')
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I See you cryin' ( )
Feelin' all alone without a friend

I'd love you to love me.

Big Log
My love is in league with the freeway
Its passion will rise as the cities fly by And the tail lights dissolve in the coming of night And the questions and thousands take flight
My love is a-miles in awaiting
The eyes that just stare and the glance at the clock And the secret that burns, and the pain that grows dark And it's you once again
Leading me on (leading me on) Leading me down the road
Driving me on (driving me on) Driving me down the road
Wee Solo
My love is exceedingly vivid
Red-eyed and fevered with the hum of the miles Distance and longing, my thoughts do provide
Should I rest for a while at the side?
Your love is cradled in knowing Eyes in the mirror still expecting they'll come
Sensing too well when the journey is done
There is no turning back, no
There is no turning back On the run
Wee Solo
My love is in league - With the freeway
Oh, with the freeway = And the coming of night-time
My love - My love Is in league with the freeway

Dribble off those Bobby brooks, let me do what I please"
And say a
"Oh yeah life goes on, Long after the thrill of livin' is gone"
Say, "Oh yeah life goes on Long after the thrill of livin' is gone, now rock on"

Well you know Diane, we oughtta run of the city
Diane says "Baby, you ain't missin' nothin'"

A Design for Life
Libraries gave us power Then work came and made us free
What price now For a shallow piece of dignity
I wish I had a bottle Right here in my dirty face
To wear the scars To show from where I came
We don't talk about love
We only wanna get drunk
And we are not allowed to spend
As we are told that this is the end

If you like to gamble, I tell you I'm your man You win some, lose some,all the same to me
The pleasure is to play, makes no difference what yousay I don't share your greed, the only card I need is the Ace of Spades
The Ace of Spades
Playing for the high one,dancing with the devil Going with the flow, it's all a game to me
Seven or eleven, snake eyes watching you
Double up or quit, double stake or split, the Ace of Spades
The Ace of Spades
You know I'm bornto lose, and gambling's for fools
But that's the way I like it baby I don't wanna live for ever
And don't forget the joker!
Pushing up the ante, I know you gotta see me Read 'em and weep, the dead man's hand again I see it in your eyes, take one look and die
The only thing you see, you know it's gonna be the Ace of Spades

Stairway
There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to Heaven
When she gets there she knows, if the stores areall closed With a word she can get what she came for Ooh, ooh, and she's buying a stairway to Heaven
There's a sign on the wall, but she wants to be sure 'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings
In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven Ooh, it makes me wonder Ooh, makes me wonder
There's a feeling I get when I look to the West
And my spirit is crying for leaving
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees
And the voices of those who stand looking Ooh, it makes me wonder Ooh, really makes me wonder
And it's whispered that soon if we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason
And a new day will dawn for those who stand long
And the forests will echo with laughter
Oh-oh-oh-oh-whoa
If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now It's just a springclean for the May queen
Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on
And it makes me wonder Ohh, whoa
Your head is humming, and it won't go, in case you don't know
The piper's calling you to join him
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow? And did you know Your stairway lies on the whispering wind?
Oooh Oh Oh
And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul
Therewalks a lady we all know Who shines white light and wants toshow How everything still turns to gold
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last
When all are one,and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll
And she's buying a stairway to Heaven
Unintended
You could be my unintended Choice to live my life extended You could be the one I'll always love
You could be the one who listens to my deepest inquisitions You could be the one I'll always love
I'll be there as soon as I can But I'm busy mending broken, pieces of, the life I had before
First there was the one who challenged, All my dreams and all my balance She could never be as good as you
You could be my unintended, Choice to live my life extended You should be the one I'll always love
I'll be there as soon as I can
But I'm busy mending broken, pieces of, the life I had before
I'll be there as soon as I can But I'm busy mending broken, pieces of, the life I had before Before you...

Sound of Silence
Hello darkness,my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seedswhile I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence
In restless dreams, I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence
And in the naked light, I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talkingwithout speaking
People hearing without listening
People writingsongs that voices never shared
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence.
"Fools" said I, "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows Hear my wordsthat I might teach you Take my arms that I might reach you"
But my words, like silent raindrops fell And echoed in the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed To the neon god they made And the sign flashed out its warning In the words that it was forming Then the sign said, "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls In tenement halls" And whisperedin the sound of silence
Behind Blue Eyes
No one knows what it's like
To be the bad man, To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes
And no one knows what it's like
To be hated, To be fated
To telling only lies
But my dreamsthey aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be
I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance. That's never free
No one knows what it's like
To feel these feelings
Like I do, And I blame you (you, you, you)
No one bites back as hard
On their anger None of my pain and woe Can show through
But my dreamsthey aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be
I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance That's never free
Solo Weirdy Bit
No one knows what it's like
To be mistreated, to be defeated Behind blue eyes
And no one knows how to say That they're sorry and don't worry I'm not telling lies
But my dreams,they aren't as empty As my conscience seems to be I have hours, only lonely My love is vengeance That's never free
No one knows what it's like
To be the bad man, To be the sad man Behind blue eyes
