The La's lyrics

Give me one last kiss
Before I walk out of this
Give me some money
'Cos I'm right in a hurry
To get a way out of this
But I'm telling you this
That I don't aim to miss
To get a way out of this...
Give it all you got now
Give it all you got now - Yeah give a little
Give it all you got now
Give it all you got now - Yeah give a little
Let me tell you this
Before I walk out of this

The melody always finds me
Whenever the thought reminds me
Breaking a chain inside my head
The melody chord unwinds me
The rhythm of life unties me
Brushing the hands of time away
If you look in your mind
Do you know what you will find
Open your mind...
Even the words they fail me
Oh look what it's doing to me
I never say what I want to say
It's only a word believe me

There she goes
There she goes again
Racing thru' my brain
And I just can't contain
This feelin' that remains
There she blows
There she blows again
Pulsing thru' my vein
And I just can't contain
This feelin' that remains
There she goes, there she goes again
She calls my name, pulls my train
No-one else could heal my pain
And I just can't contain
This feelin' that remains

If you want I'll sell you a life story
About a man who's at loggerheads with his past all the time
He's alive and living in purgatory
All he's doing is rooming up in hotels
And scooping up lots of wine
There was once a boy of life
Who lived upon a knife
He took his share of everywhere
But he never took a wife...
He was born to live like a mercenary
Well personally I think that's fine

Tell me where I'm going...
Tell me where I'm bound...
Turn the pages over
Turn the world around
Open up the broken door for all lost will be found
Walk into the empty room but never make a sound
Oh tell me where I'm going
Tell me why I'm bound to tear the pages open
Turn the world around...
I've seen everybody
Everybody's seen me
In the lookin' glass
I'm in everybody
Everybody's in me

I am the toiler the old ship-slave
I stoke the fire that keep you brave
And this I give for all mankind
Sail away on an ocean wave
I am the voyager of the ocean grey
I wayfarer see fairway
And this I give for all mankind
Sail away on an ocean wave
I am the sailor - the ocean slave
Fill your sail with the breath I gave
And this I give for all mankind
Sail away on an ocean wave

I was lookin' thru my window
I was lookin' thru my eyes
And there's a big black car coming
Get off the street outside - come in
Go into a pipedream no-one listens anyway
When I say I'm so sad about, Not so glad about,
I'm so mad - I can't sleep tonight
I was going thru a nightmare
I was layin' on the line
And there's a big black train coming
D'you think it would be a shame running

Oh no don't go down to Doledrum
Oh no don't go down to Doledrum
If you know what's good for you
Then you know what you can do
Just 'get up a fuss and shout'
Get on the bus get out of Doledrum
All my life goes by in Doledrum
I'll see ninety-five in Doledrum
I can't see much down for me
I think I'll run away to see
I'll just get on my coat and shout
Get on the boat get out of Doledrum

All this world seems bent upon
Contemplating Babylon
Fate is sealed inside a bomb
Where has all the freedom gone
There's a place for everyone
Live and die our Kingdom Come
But until the web is spun
Everybody must have fun
I'm not scared to die - God help me
We went to the same schools and we
All learned the same rules of lament
The knot will never come undone
Accidents show mercy none

No you can't throw failure over your shoulder
If you don't look after - you gonna look back
No you can't hurry forward...it's holding you back
In the grip of an onset you run for a cover
To hide from your Mother and your sister
Your brother...through you long to tell of
The stone that remains - you can't move a
Muscle - you're wrapped up in chains...so you
