The first time was the best time
The language you use
You gotta be careful what you will choose
And the first high was the best high
You're made of flesh and blood
Yet it makes you feel like wood
Oh the first time was the best time

The first line was the best line
It's hard to learn to beware
Spending thousands of pounds in a year
And worthwhile, is it worthwhile?

Are you the best? Or the equal of every man on this earth?
I introspect. I can have anything that I could want
Yet I need for nothing.........Oh nothing
'Cos the spirit of life is within you
Breathing with ease through the whole of you
And deeper inside is within you, searching until we find a way
To jump out now, jumping around now
Cause sooner or later we'll be gone

I know the desert can't hold all the love
that I feel in my heart for you
If I could spread it out across the sea,
I know my love would cork it up
Ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold
If the bees only knew how sweet you are baby
They would seal up their honeycomb
If the birds could hear how sweet your voice is
They would tighten up the song

I wanna look into your eyes again
I wanna look into the windows of your soul...again, again
Who's to know where time will lead us now?
I can't believe this is happening now
I'm not scared, I'm just wondering how
I wanna see your eyes
All the time we've shared between us now
The feeling I have needs me to make a vow
Now as I leave I must return somehow
Cause I wanna see your eyes

The first time was the best time
The language you use
You gotta be careful what you will choose
And the first high was the best high
You're made of flesh and blood
Yet it makes you feel like wood
Oh the first time was the best time

The first line was the best line
It's hard to learn to beware
Spending thousands of pounds in a year
And worthwhile, is it worthwhile?

This is your God (repeat)
As we wander back into the universe
We render ourselves into a higher plane
Believing we will never wonder why again

He surely must be laughing Mr. Universe
Seeing us slowly head towards our goal
Only the joke is we don't know what it is at all

Yet our Gods teach us divinity

And we go on searching for you and me

As for the universe
This is your God

Do I feel jealousy when you're free without me?
Maybe
Do I feel that my love will stay with you forever?
Hopefully
In memoriam of my lovers will you sleep with me forever?
Oh most certainly I never did doubt you
You surround yourself with trinkets like they're meaningful possessions,
baby
Like some squirrel in the garden with expensive permutations,
Save me

I thank you for the things you have shown me
Thank you for the love of my life
So far anyway, now it's really really over
O God I really thank you baby
Most of all I thank you for your love
Like good people should do anyway

I thank you
I really thank you
All of my life
I really thank you

My souvenirs I hold them and remember
All the days for the rest of my life

Man made the gun a sado-sexual machine
It's slaughter brings you to your knees
Man made the gun
Who is the person that is holding on?
What's in his mind, where is he looking from?
Isn't he the one we should be gazing on, contemplating on?

'Cos man made the gun
Man shapes the son

Man made the gun
While there is evil in this world
We try to save our boys and girls
Man made the bomb

This land is real, real as the next man
This land is there for all to see
You're standing there so cold and calm
You stand so close to me
And you out there can keep away
There's nothing owed to you
All I want's to lose myself and stay so close to you

The river is cruel its pipes are sprayed with long forgotten names
Big boys now with kids whose lives will never feel the same

For those who are in love
I'm with you babies
How can it be that we feel this way?
For those who are a bluff
I fear you ladies, how can you treat little me this way?
It's a drug that brings you pleasure and pain
It's a love that leaves you crying in the rain

Yeah I'm your lover, Oh I'm your lover
A ring-a-ling, Ting-a-ling lover
A sing-a-ling, Ting-a-ling lover

Wave the Old World goodbye
It's time to say hello to the New World
Praying it will be right
That the world may soon see the light
I'll be waving, oh waving
And I'll be waiting...
Sure the old folks have tried
But now it's time for us in the New World
Pray that it will be right
That the earth don't turn out the lights

Wave the Old World goodbye
