You Gotta Go There to Come Back lyrics

Dancing
In the mirror
You could see her from a mile man
She was alright
She looked right over her shoulder
Right at me
I was falling through the floor now
She came, over me
Help me, oh help me,
She's out of her mind
Help me, oh help me
Somebody tonight

Laughing, all night
She could tell a funny story
She could stay up all night
She was someone to remember

I've been down and I'm wondering why these little black clouds keep walking around with me with me It wastes time and I'd rather be high Think I'll walk me outside and buy a rainbow smile but they're free they're all free So maybe tomorrow I'll find my way home(2x) I look around at a beautiful life I've been the upperside of down been the inside of out But we breathe we breathe

Mary Mary where you been
You've been out all night
You ain't got no sleep

I've been dancing in the hills
At a place I know
She said 'and that's the place
Where the fire flies glow'
Had to slap my white face
Pull my head from the clouds

And I kept
Buying and, lying and flying, relying and dying
To know what spins her world around

Good morning I missed ya
But ya bring me down

You stole my money honey
You're cold your blood's stopped running
And know you're buying your new life
Can't help but find you funny
The clothes you wear are something
You made your whole life boasting lies
Pretend you're high and something
To think, you think I'm dumb, you're blind!

I'll get by fine without you
I lie about you
You got no spine only mine

Remember when we were angels
Before we stole cars
And when sex and drugs
Lived up in another world... not a care in the world
Hide and seek, kissing and running
Till you were out of breath
In the late night day sun
Until you Mamma called you home... and you didn't wanna go

Fly
High
Be my getaway
Gotta getaway

Fly
High
Be my getaway
Gotta getaway

I'm just lying here
Thinking to myself again
I'm round the bend

I've been driving round
Talking to myself again
Not making no sense
What makes you and
What makes me
What makes men lie
Through their teeth
And what makes ten-ton birds
Fly me across the sea

And who's to say, that if the sun went out today
That all the movie stars would drive their cars away

Jealousy my devil
Jealousy my hell
Jealousy insomnia
Jealousy sleep well

Innocence is heaven
Innocence is hell
Innocence in everyone
Innocence is dead
Four and twenty black boys
Singing in the street
Getting high on most things
Wishing they were free

My angel, my devil
My hell, my heaven
My storm, my calm
My photograph, my palm

Four and twenty white boys

I'll drink another drink for you
One, two, three, four, five, once I drank a fish alive
I'll drop another pill for you
Six, seven, eight, nine, ten, did it before, I'll do it again
I'll tell another joke for you
Did you hear the one about the one that looks like you
I'll sleep with sleep arounds for you
Why don't you scratch my back and chew the tongue I chew

I'm alright
I'm alright

I been people watching again
I think they watch me too
There's a new girl at the coffee house
She's got first day blues
She's got red hair and a motorbike
And lime green shoes
A mohair hat and a summers dress
And black tattoos

And then she fly away
In her high heel feet
And her fire dress
And she's throwing things
That took her time to save it up
And buy what's special

I heard you're doing well
Selling art and everything
I like you're stuff; good for you
I'll buy a piece or maybe two

Do you ever think of me?
Do you remember all our stupid dreams?
Rainbows and pots of gold
So much to prove before we got old
I took you places round the world
I miss you're face sometimes you know
You took my picture a thousand times

I feel I wanna hold you, wanna tell you that you'll be alright
Sang this song today, it's recalling your pictures all in my mind
I miss you now
I miss you now
Although we're getting old now my old friends gonna leave me and die
I'm helpless, it's gonna get us before we get this, I wanna kiss you goodbye
I miss you now
I miss you now
I miss you now

Come on get up high as the ceiling
Get up on the floor
Think I lost my mind and my feeling
Been there all before
Find my way
Free my soul
Blind and loaded
Lined and sorted
It's time......

If you think you'll make a fool out of me
I got a little something up my sleeve
I can think of better places to be
So get yourself down on the street

Black and blue from the wind and the rain
Said I'm sorry for the lies and the pain
I never ever meant to make you cry
If I could take you back, you know, I would,
I wanna burn up and die
So take a look at me now
Since I told you it's over
You got a hole in your heart
I'll find a four leaf clover
You can't tell me this now
This far down the line

Old sailor walks my way
Sipped his pint and told me about his day
Hey Hey
Said 'son times have changed
Nothing ever seems to stay the same'
Hey Hey
You got your wide screen sets,
dead cert bets,
Wine and women, song and dance, alway practice safe sex
Think they call it fast food
High percent booze
Porta bubble phones got your hair like Keith Moon

The tax man's taken all my dough
And left me in my stately home
Lazing on a sunny afternoon
I can't even sail my yacht
He's taken everything I've got
All I've got's this sunny afternoon
Oh save me, save me, save me from this squeeze
I gotta big fat mama trying to break me
And I love to live so pleasantly
Live this life of luxury
Lazing on a sunny afternoon
In the summertime

idolise

the tabloid lies

got to ask

need a star

you're in my soul,
you're in my mind

walk on water every night

movie star...

don't know where you are

movie star

don't know who you are

I love your taste

I love your shape

I love all the things about you,

all the critics hate.

If in my soul I once was blind...

You turn my water into wine

Movie star...

It sickens me to see the photograph in front of me
Carnation couloured pink stand aside and take a drink
Night club another scene 31st its halloween
Slave to each new trend up town junkies push again
The lovers and the wannabe's they don't know how
The radio's and the tv they don't know how
The newspaper story reads they don't know how
Cheap girl magazine they don't know how

She came from Providence
The one in Rhode Island
Where the old world shadows
Hang heavy in the air
She packed her hopes and dreams like a refugee
Just as her father came across the sea
She heard about a place people were smilling
They spoke about the red mans way
And how they loved the land
And they came from everywhere to the Great Divide

You're not in business to be popular
It's become so much about personality
I regard the theatre as the greatest of all arts form
The most immediate way in which a human being
Can share with another the sense of what appears to be unity
First of all I choose the great roles
And if none of these come
I choose the ones that pay the rent
It was like unfinished business in my life

Long as I remember
The rain been coming down
Clouds of mystery falling
Confusion on the ground
Good men through the ages
Trying to find a sun
And I wonder, still I wonder
Who'll stop the rain
I went down Virginia
Seeking shelter from the storm
Caught up in the fable
I watched the tower grow
About your plans for new year
Wrapped in golden chains

Going down la la la
Going down la la la la la
I used to buy my sweets and candy treats at
Raymond's shop
I used to pass there everyday
The time I as come to buy a gun and hold up
Raymond's shop
It looks like I will be going away
Going down la la la
Going down la la la la la
It's been two years my minds not clear
I stop at Raymond's shop
It's boarded up he's gone away

She slept on an iron bed lived through the war for what?
Butterflies round the fire smiled
Smiled until she's robbed of all she's got
I heard the innocent got shot today
Grandma died on poppy day
I heard the dress downed got turned away
All died, died on poppy day

Fancy dress in a dress down town
Happy halloween
Door breaks open lost and walked in
Killing the happy scene

Russell said take what you need
He could count large amounts on his fingers
Even with false teeth
Tie me up and tie me down
Tie me up and tie me down
Russell's bleeding from his knees
He was shot three times
But he claims he was shot thirteen
Tie me up and shoot me down
Tie me up and shoot me down
Ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba etc
Russell's live on the BBC

September seventeen
For a girl I know it's Mother's Day
Her son has gone alee
And that's where he will stay
Wind on the weathervane
Tearing blue eyes sailor-mean
As Falstaff sings a sorrowful refrain
For a boy in Fiddler's Green
His tiny knotted heart
Well, I guess it never worked too good
The timber tore apart
And the water gorged the wood

I'm gonna buy myself a small plane
I'm gonna crash it on the south line
I'm gonna sleep down by his quarters
I'd like to have sex with his daughters
I'm gonna buy myself a small plane
I'm gonna crash it on the south line
Yeah its big enough for me

I'm just another great truck driver
He's just another white house skiver
Get a gun ready your aircraft

You gotta lotta nerve to say you are my friend
When I was down you just stood there grinnin'
You gotta lotta nerve to say you got a helping hand to lend
You just wanna be on the side that's winnin'
You say I let you down, you know
it's not like that
If you're so hurt why then don't you show it?
You say you lost your faith, but that's not where it's at

I'm looking good Got my shoulders back
A few more drinks I'm up to dance
I get the eye as I lift my glass
The first time in six months
She looks again I start to shake
My shoulders twitching
I'm on my way
I glance behind me for safety sake
to see a clock the size of a plane
The night is young more fish in the sea
Who's to say she wasn't looking at me

That's my home to me
That's my home to me
Please don't take it from me
Please don't take it from me
From Me
Electric lights blow my stare
I'm crawling for a space to breath
Why should my home concern your needs
Please don't take it from me
A baby chair
A rocking horse
A nervous wreck
A memory loss
And sleeping pills
Ease the pain
I'm coming back

Summertime and the living is easy
Fish are jumping the cotton is high
Your daddy's rich and your mother's good lookin'
So hush little baby and don't you cry.
One of these mornings your gonna wind up singing
Your gonna spread your wings and reach for the sky
But until that mornin' your gonna wind up singin'
And mommy and daddy are standin' by.

Angie Angie
When will those clouds all disappear?
Angie Angie
Where will it lead us from here?
With no loving in our soul and no money in our coats
Well you can't say we're satisfied
Angie Angie
Well, you can't say we never tried
Angie beautiful but ain't it time we said goodbye?
Angie I still love you
Remember all those nights we cried?

All the dreams we held so close

Underneath the bridge
The tarp has sprung a leak
And the animals are trapped
And have all become my pets
And I'm living off of grass
And the drippings from the ceiling
But it's ok to eat fish
Cause they haven't any feelings
Something in the way ah ahhh
Something in the way yeah ah ahh
Something in the way ah ahh
Something in the way yeah ah ahh
Something in the way mmm
