Once there was the sea now there is sand
And no way now to wash these aching limbs
We have been brothers to this land
All of our boats have long been burned
Lord take this weight out of my bones
Your seventh sin may still yet be unlearned
Though I may burn out in the sand
Still I will learn to love this land
But if the world is truly turned
Surely then our hearts will burn again
And the sand will turn to soil
And the blood run in our veins again
and burn again
Once there was the sea now there is sand
And no way now to wash these aching limbs
Still you will take me by the hand
Yet I will learn to love this land
But if the world is truly turned
Surely then our hearts will burn again
And the sand will turn to soil
And the blood run in our veins again
and burn again
You will never be no good
No you will never be no good
D'you know what I'd do if I could
Chop you up into firewood
Because you have sinned far too many times
You have sinned far too many times
And you will pay for all your crimes
You will never be no good
Not not ever no good
You know it's hard to sympathise
You know it's hard to sympathise
When you never tell nothing but lies
It's hard to sympathise
You say you were born in the barrel of a gun
Some say you were born in the barrel of a gun
You were your mother's seventh son
And no excuse could be a good enough one
And don't you love her madly
You want to be her daddy
Well that won't do you no good
You might just slip into the priesthood
You will never be no good
No you will never be no good
D'you know what I'd do if I could
And then we'd all receive knighthoods
You'll never be no good
Does it hurt to be polite
Or is it just cool to be unkind
Must you always hurt the ones you love
And then get paid back in kind?
Andy is fine but his taste is not mine
Let me tell you I don't mean maybe
I'm getting really tired of Andy's babies
Some say that children should be seen and not heard
that's what I'd prefer
Let's go downtown for a while
I'm sure you'll be forced to smile
When you see Andy's babies
And the bohemian lifestyle
Andy is a saint
but I'm loosing my patience
I really don't mean maybe
Don't even wanna talk about Andy's babies
So when says his children will inherit the earth
Isn't that absurd?
in a word
Trudy is in the bathroom
she's trying to clean up her act
and Donald has gone to mass
Yes, we are thankful for that
It's eight in the morning
And still you can't get no sleep
On account of perfect day and
all this white light white heat...
...isn't that sweet?

Oh you're a precious little pearl
but tell me true now
Have you ever had a care in the world?
Oh, tell me what's it all about?
You say - Oh, you're so uptight
Well you'll never be so right
Oh you can cry yourself dry
But I'd be surprised if you can muster up a single crocodile
You'll never be a hopeless child
Throw caution to the wind
Forgive yourself your sins
And don't you know you
really are the sweetest thing
There isn't heart enough on you
Do you no longer care or feel that
you have nothing left to prove?
Oh, tell me that it isn't true
I wanted to tell you
that I used to admire you
Oh, you know really that I don't cared
No, I never cared for you
But I used to read about you
and you often would
Throw caution to the wind
And don't you know you
really are the sweetest thing
Should you awake, dear, from your beauty sleep
To find your room swimming in blue and green
Should you awake to feel like you never slept
And feel so very old
Well, don't you feel alone
I'm kind of blue
Blue for you again
I guess I'm a fool
At least I'm not innocent
But what to do?
Whatever I touch turns blue
And should you find yourself lost
But in no need of sympathy
Calm down to the beach and watch the waves come in
I dream the ocean was in my house
I feel the surf against my skin
I just can't keep the waves from dragging me down
But when you say ooh
Baby, you're my best friend
Then I lose
I lose my common sense
I'm blue
I'm kind of blue
It's the truth
Should you awake, dear, from your beauty sleep
To find your room swimming in blue and green
Should you awake to feel like you never slept
And feel so very old
Well, don't you feel alone
I'm kind of blue
Blue for you again
I guess I'm a fool
At least I'm not innocent
I may be blue
But don't you let me make you blue too.
Jesus said to Mary
Lord, the things we do for love
Well, do think I seem self conscious
It's only you I'm thinking of
Well I was hiding in the bathroom
Quite unable to cry
Now I'm weeping with a vengence
Since your voice came down the line
I moved up from the country
Though I never could have stayed
I just dipped my hand in the water
And got carried away
Well would you put me down
Just for being around
At the wrong time of day?
Or would leave me while I'm sleeping
Out through the fire escape?
They tell me swans do fly
Across a perfect sky
And it's a purist's sky tonight
So you'll desert me in the morning
On account of your cruelty and spite
I moved up from the country
To wave goodbye to all that
I just leapt up on that riverboat
And I never will look back
Jesus said to Mary
Lord, the things we do for love
Well, did she think he was self conscious
It was only her he was thinking of
Well I was hiding in the bathroom
Quite unable to cry
Now I'm weeping with a vengence
But these are tears of joy, oh my
I moved up from the country
Though I never could have stayed
I just dipped my hand in the water
And got carried away
Walking in the pouring rain
Walking with Jesus and Jane
Jane was in her turtle neck
I was much happier then
If I were to ask you
what would you do with yourself?
If I were to tell you
Would you just talk to yourself?
Am I asking, oh, for so much?
I'm not asking to be understood
Am I asking, oh, for so much?
I'm just looking for a brand new friend
Walking in the pouring rain
Walking with Jesus and Jane
Jane was in her turtle neck
I was much happier then
Am I asking, oh, for so much?
You could do anything you wanted to
Am I asking, oh, for so much?
Not just something that I can hold down
Because it's all downhill, now
So, let me count the times that we swore and lied
That we'd tie ourselves to the railway line
Let me count the times when of course we lied
Well we knew no better, it was no crime
Let me count the times
I, well, I don't know when I'll be content
But I do know I need a brand new friend.
Jesse honey, is it hard to take
Does it feel so bad to be 28
You were 23 and you could do anything
Now, you open your mouth
and spit the gutter out
I was walking down by the River Thames
I decided that I should throw me in
Because you broke my heart
And you made me weep
In the name of your sensitivity
Still, once you were an angel
Did nobody tell you?
Jesse honey, oh you look so pale and old
and so very ill at ease, these days
So you tell yourself that you'll never win
And you drown your sins in amphetamine
Do you weary so of that bitter taste
So you spit it in my face
Just to keep you entertained
Well, I can only love you
I have no option but to
Is it hard to take, is it?
Is it hard to swallow, is it?
Is it hard to take from Grace?
Once you were an angel
Did nobody tell you?
Jesse honey, is it hard to take
Does it feel so bad to be 28
You were 23 and you could do anything
Now, you open your mouth
and you spit the gutter out
Out in the summer rain
You will begin again
Out in the summer rain
We will begin again
There you go again
Alma tell me when
Will you never learn?
Now you're underweight and overpaid
You will not be saved
And you're pushing thirty eight
Heaven knows your train is late
Although my chance is slim
You percieve the state you're in
Is good for one last fling
In a drastic dress
You walk in drastic steps
Creating no interest
No, it seems you won't be spared
And you were so much wiser unaware
Independent means
Being alone and being
Good for one last fling
So there you go again
Alma tell me when
Will you ever learn?
Still you walk in these drastic steps
When you know too well your train has left
Your train has left
This is the story of a most unfortunate girl
Millicent, forever ill, at odds with this world
Big bad world
She has nametags on her clothing
So that she can be herself
When she goes out into it
She comes back as someone else
She lost herself
Millicent is doing it again
Millicent is losing everything
She can't go out dancing
Or go jogging in the park
Her idea of fun is a walkman and some dark
Big world
Millicent is running out of space
Gloria is blowing her away
Scratched her name upon the door
And locked herself away
Just ran out of space
But ain't it hard to be your self, these days
Millicent is losing everything
Millicent is under polythene
If I ever was, then now I'm less than sure
What I was waiting for
If I could find the strengh to walk
Me, I'm drinking the sea
She will send me to sleep
Surely there must be an easy way
And I'll say it again
Will the nevers end
Do I have to forgive to forget?
I wrote a letter only yesterday
I cannot recall what I wanted to say
I saw a chance, I let it pass me by
This is the shallow end, my friend
I say never again
Will the nevers end?
This is not what I had meant to say
So I'm drinking the sea
Trying to pick up the pieces
And saying never, again
If I ever was then now I'm less than sure
And this is the shallow end, my friend

After being drunk for eleven years
Did you ever feel like
Some little thing
Pretty little thing
Could be missing from your life?
Always beaten down
Almost breaking down
Did she ever feel like
Some little thing
Silly little thing
Could be missing from her life?
Did you ever feel like
Some little thing
Could be missing from your life?
I think she needed something
I think she needed someone around
I think she needed something
Did you ever like
Some little vagabond
Could be messing with your wife
Messing with your life
I'm standing at the crossroads
I'm waiting for a sign
Anyway the wind blows
Yes sir, I'll take as mine
So Mister, where you're heading
Is where I'm going to
I guess I'm going to like it
Expect that's what I'll do
Anywhere but here
I guess I'm going to miss her
I guess so, for a while
So where you're heading, mister
I guess that'll be just fine
Anywhere but here
Please be mine
I'll do anything
Please be mine
I'll go anywhere
Please be mine
I'll be anyone
Please be mine
Please
I know I'm not your sign
But I'm not the hurting kind
Please be mine
Please be mine
I'll do anything
Please be mine
I'll go anywhere
Please be mine
I'll be anyone
Please be mine
Please
You know I'm not your sign
But I'm not the hurting kind
Won't you let me try and change your mind
Won't you let me even try?
Please Be Mine..
I'm not the hurting kind
No, I'm not your average kind
Won't you even try?
Everything will be so fine
I'm going to give you my heart
I'm going to give you my everything
Here comes my heart
Here comes my everything
Hey I was walking my bag
through a 20 storey non stop snow storm
Pirrelli calender girls westling in body lotion
my head's swimming with poetry and prose
excuse me one moment whilst I powder my nose
me and my good thing are just about as close as can be
we gave up sleep at the age of 17
my world's getting bigger as my eyesight gets worse
I can't see the lines on my idiot board
what above love?
I don't let that stuff in my house
this is the glamorous life there's no time for fooling around
Lord have mercy I know what I'm doing
I don't need an alibi I need a fire escape and an open window
It's my problem it's nothing I can't deal with
I'm not chasing anything just jogging baby
What's your bag?
Hundred million dollar jam
got some traffic yessir in my nose
motorcycle speed cops burning up my dust roads
my baby left me heck ain't that a shame
she's over in the corner with my new best friend
I'm doing fine with my whisky and wine
and meet me in the john john meet me in the john john
Lord have mercy I know what I'm doing
I don't need an alibi I need a fire escape and an open window
It's my problem it's nothing I can't deal with
I'm not chasing anything just jogging baby
What's your bag?
Spin spin whisky and gin I suffer for my art
bartender I got wild mushrooms growing in my yard
fix me a quart of petrol clams on the half shell
feels like prohibition baby give me the hard sell
more give me more give me more more more
I'm your yes man yes maam I'm your yes man
Lord have mercy I know what I'm doing
I don't need an alibi I need a fire escape and an open window
It's my problem it's nothing I can't deal with
I'm not chasing anything just jogging baby
