Memory Almost Full lyrics

Everybody gonna dance tonight
Everybody gonna feel alright
Everybody gonna dance around tonight.

Everybody gonna dance around
Everybody gonna hit the ground
Everybody gonna dance around tonight

Well you can come over to my place if you want to
You can do anything you wanna do.

Everybody gonna dance tonight
Everybody gonna feel alright
Everybody gonna dance around tonight.

Ive got too much on my plate
Don't have no time to be a decent lover
I hope it isn't too late
Searching for the time that has gone so fast
The time that I thought would last
My ever present past

I've got too much on my mind
I think of everything to be discovered
I hope there's something to find
Searching for the time that has gone so fast
The time that I thought would last
My ever present past

Teacher said I had my head in the clouds
They directed
I suspected
Disconnected
Had it my way

On the street I had my feet on the ground
Stood corrected
Well protected
Resurrected
Had it my way

I've got my feet in the clouds
Got my head on the ground
I know that I'm not a square
As long as they're not around

But I find it very very very very very very hard

Gratitude, gratitude, gratitude

I'm so grateful for everything
You've ever given me
How can I explain what it means
To be loved by you
By you, loved by you, loved by you

Show my gratitude, gratitude
Show my gratitude
I want to show my gratitude, gratitude yeah

Well I was lonely
I was living with a memory
But my cold and lonely nights ended
When you sheltered me
Loved by you

Lightning hits the house of wax
Poets spill out on the street
To set alight the incomplete
Remainders of the future

Hidden in the yard
Hidden in the yard

Thunder drowns the trumpets blast
Poets scatter through the night
But they can only dream of flight
Away from their confusion

Hidden in the yard underneath the wall
Buried deep below a thousand layers lay the answer to it all

I'm not coming down
No matter what you do
I like it up here
Without you

All right Mr Bellamy
We'll have you down soon

No one to tell me what to do
No one to hold my hand
Bellamy's got a lot to do
And I hope that you'll understand
Nobody here to spoil the view
Interfere with my plans
Bellamy's got a job to do
And he's hoping you'll understand

Steady lads
Easy does it
Don't frighten him

If you really love me baby
Better than staying in bed
If you really love me baby
Nod your head

If you really love me baby
Till you fall down dead she said
If you ever want to make it
Nod your head

Nod it up
Nod it down
Side to side
Round and round
(Round and round)

If you ever want to prove it
And you're hanging on a thread
If you ever want to shake it
Nod your head

Well I was found in the transit lounge
Of a dirty airport town
What was I doing on the road to ruin
Well my mama laid me down
My mama laid me down

Round my hand was a plastic band
With a picture of my face
I was crying, left to die in
This God forsaken place
This God forsaken place

Only mama knows why she laid me down
In this God forsaken town
Where she was running to what she ran from

She makes me feel glad
I want her so bad
My heart is beating madly for her
If you ask me why (if you ask me why)
I'm not going to lie (i'm not going to lie)
I'll have to say that I adore her

Look what you do to me baby
You're making me feel so fine (so fine, so fine)
Step out in front of me baby
They want you in the front line (so fine, so fine)
They want to see your sunshine (so fine)

That was me
At the scout camp
In the school play
Spade and bucket
By the sea
That was me

That was me
Playing conkers
At the bus stop
On a blanket
In the bluebells
That was me

The same me that stands here now
And when I think that all this stuff
Can make a life It's pretty hard to take it in
That was me

Well that was me
Royal Iris
On the river
Merseybeatin'
With the band

At the end of the end
It's the start of a journey
To a much better place
And this wasn't bad
So a much better place
Would have to be special
No need to be sad

On the day that I die
I'd like jokes to be told
And stories of old
To be rolled out like carpets
That children have played on
And laid on while listening
To stories of old

At the end of the end
It's the start of a journey

Don't live in the past
Don't hold onto something thats changing fast

What we are is what we are
And what we wear is vintage clothes

Vintage clothes
Vintage clothes

We jump up for joy
Who cares if we look like a girl or boy

What we are is what we are
And what we wear is vintage clothes

Vintage clothes
Vintage clothes

A little worn
A little torn
Check the rack

ahh 1,2,3
When was that summer when the skies were blue
The bright red cardinal flew down from his tree
You tell me

When was that summer when it never rained
The air was buzzing with the sweet old honey bee
Let's see
You tell me

Were we there was it real
Is it truly how I feel
Maybe
You tell me

Were we there is it true
Was I really there with you
Let's see
You tell me
