i don't know what it is that makes me feel alive
i don't know how to wake the things that sleep inside
i only want to see the light that shines behind your eyes
i hope that i can say the things i wish i'd said
to sing my soul to sleep and take me back to bed
he wants to be alone where we can feel alive instead

cause we need each other (noel)
we believe in one another
and i know we're gonna uncover
we're sleeping in our soul
cause we need each other
we believe in one another
i know we're gonna uncover
we're sleeping in our soul
sleeping in our soul

there are many things that i would like to know
and there are many places that i wish to go
but everythings depending on the way the wind may blow
i don't know what it is that makes me feel alive
i don't know how to wake the things that sleep inside
i only want to see the light that shines behind your eyes

cause we need each other (noel)
we believe in one another
and i know we're gonna uncover
we're sleeping in our soul
because we need each other
we believe in one another
and i know we're gonna uncover
we're sleeping in our soul
sleeping in our soul
sleeping in our soul
sleeping in our soul
cause we believe
cause we believe
will we believe
cause we believe
cause we believe
cause we believe
because we need
because we need

underneath the sky above
is a storyteller sleeping alone
he has no face and he has no name
and he's well . . .

all he needs is his life in a suitcase
it belongs to a friend of a friend
and as we dream to ourselves we'll amuse ourselves
underneath the sky
underneath the sky again
underneath the sky again

so wish me away to an unknown place
i'm livin' in a land with no name
i'll be making a start with my brand new heart
stop me making sense once again
all we need is our lifes in a suitcase
they belong to a friend of a friend
and as we dream to ourselves we'll amuse ourselves
underneath the sky
underneath the sky again
underneath the sky again

all we need is our lifes in a suitcase
they belong to a friend of a friend
and as we dream to ourselves we'll amuse ourselves
underneath the sky
underneath the sky again
underneath the sky again
underneath the sky again
underneath the sky again
underneath the sky again
again
again
again
again
underneath the sky again

just take me watch off (spoken)

sitting on my own, chewing on a bone
a thousand million miles from home
when something hit me somewhere right between the eyes
sleeping on a plane
you know you can't complain
you took your last chance once again
landed, stranded, hardly even knew your name

i wanna talk tonight
until the morning light
bout how you saved my life
and you and me see how it ought
you and me see how it ought

all your dreams are made of strawberry lemonade
and you make sure i eat today
you take me walking
to where you played when you were young
i'll never say that i
won't ever make you cry
and this i'll say
i don't know why
i know why, leave it, but i'll be back another day

i wanna talk tonight
until the morning light
bout how you saved my life
(saved my life)
i wanna talk tonight
(i wanna talk tonight)
bout how you saved my life
(i wanna talk tonight)
bout how you saved my life
(i wanna talk tonight)
bout how you saved my life
(i wanna talk tonight)
bout how you saved my life
(i wanna talk tonight)
(i wanna talk tonight)
(i wanna talk tonight)
(i wanna talk tonight)

GOING NOWHERE

hate the way that you've taken back
eveything you've given to me
and the way that you'd always say
it's nothing to do with me'

different versions of many men
come before you came
all their questions were similar
the answers just the same

i'm gonna get me a motor car
maybe a jaguar
maybe a plane or day of fame
i'm gonna be a millionaire
so can you take me there?
wanna be wild 'cos my life's so tame

here am i, going nowhere on a train
here am i, growing older in the rain
hey 'ey
hey 'ey
hey 'ey

does my life feel so tame?

FADE AWAY

when i was young i thought i had my own key
i knew exactly what i wanted to be
now i'm sure
you boarded up every door
lived in a bubble, days were neverending
was not concerned about what life was sending fantasy was real
but now i know much about the way i feel
gonna paint you a picture
i don't think you live round here no more
never even seen the key to the door
you only get what we will settle for

while we're living
the dreams we have as children fade away
while we're living
the dreams we have as children fade away
while we're living
the dreams we have as children fade away
while we're living
the dreams we have as children fade away, away, away
they're gonna fade away, away, away
fade away

and now my life has turned another corner
i think it's only fair that i should warn you
dream it while you can
and maybe someday i'll make you understand
i'm gonna paint you a picture
i don't think you live round here no more
never even seen the key to the door
you only get what we will settle for

while we're living
the dreams we have as children they fade away
while we're living
the dreams we have as children fade away
while we're living
the dreams we have as children fade away
while we're living
the dreams we have as children fade away, away, away
fade away, away, away
they're gonna fade away, away, away
fade away, away, away
fade away, fade away, fade away, fade away
they're gonna fade away, fade away, fade away
away, away, away, away
they're gonna fade away

know what i mean (spoken)
is that the vibe
you know it

I AM THE WALRUS

I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together,
See how they run like pigs from a gun, see how they fly.
I'm crying.
Sitting on a cornflake, waiting for the van to come.
Corporation tee shirt, stupid bloody Tuesday,
Man, you've been a naughty boy you let your face grow long.

I am the eggman, they are the eggmen, I am the walrus
Goo goo g'joob

Mister city p'liceman sitting, pretty little p'liceman in a row,
See how they fly like Lucy in the sky, see how they run,
I'm crying, I'm crying, I'm crying, I'm crying

Yellow matter custard dripping from a dead dog's eye,
Crab a locker fishwife, pornograhpic priestess,
Boy, you've been a naughty girl you let your knickers down.

I am the eggman, they are the eggmen, I am the walrus,
Goo goo g'joob

Sitting in an English garden, waiting for the sun,
If the sun don't come you get a tan from standing in the English rain.
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen, I am the walrus,
Goo goo g'joob, goo goo g'joob.

Expert texpert, choking smokers, don't you think the joker laughs at
you?
See how they smile like pigs in a sty, see how they snide,
I'm crying.

Semolina pilchard, climbing up the Eiffel Tower,
Elementary penguin, singing Hare Krishna,
Man, you should've seen them kicking Edgar Allan Poe.

I am the eggman, they are the eggman, I am the walrus,
Goo goo g'joob, g' goo goo g'joob.

Listen up
What's the time said today
I'm gonna speak my mind
Take me up
To the top of the world
I wanna see my crime

Day by day
There's a man in a suit
Who's gonna make you pay
For the thoughts
That you think and the words
They won't let you say

One fine day
Gonna leave you all behind
It wouldn't be so bad
If I had more time

Sailing down a river alone
I've been trying to find
My way back home
But I don't believe in magic
Life is automatic But I don't mind being on my own
No, I don't mind being on my own

(Repeat from top)

Sailing down a river alone
I've been trying to find
My way back home
But I don't believe in magic
Life is automatic
But I don't mind being on my own
I said that I don't mind
Being on my own
No, I don't mind being on my own
I said I don't mind being on my own

ROCKING CHAIR

i'm older than i wish to be
this town holds no more for me
all my life
i'll try to find another way
i don't care for your attitude
you bring me down
i think you're rude
all my life
i'll try to make a better day

it's not enough being alone
sitting here by the phone
waiting for my memories to come and play
it's not enough sitting there
rockin' in your rockin' chair
it's all too much for me to take
when you're not there

it's not enough being alone
sitting here by the phone
waiting for my memories to come and play
it's not enough sitting there
rockin' in your rockin' chair
it's all too much for me to take
when you're not there

i'm older than i wish to be
this town holds no more for me
all my life
i'll try to find another way

HALF THE WORLD AWAY

yeah we're on, ha ha (spoken)

i would like to leave this city
this old town don't smell to pretty and
i can feel the warning signs
running around my mind
and when i leave this island
i put myself into a soul asylum
cause i can feel the warning signs
running around my mind
so here i go
i'm still scratching around in the same old hole
my body feels young but my mind is very old
so what do you say
you can't give me the dreams that are mine anyway
half a world away
half the world away
half the world away
i've been lost i've been found
but i don't feel down

and when i leave this planet
you know i'd stay but i just can't stand it and
i can feel the warning signs
running around my mind
and if i could leave this spirit
find me a hole and i will fill it and
i can feel the warning signs
running around my mind
here i go
i'm still scratching around in the same old hole
my body feels young but my mind is very old
so what do you say
you can't give me the dreams that are mine anyway
half a world away
half the world away
half the world away
i've been lost i've been found
but i don't feel down
no i don't feel down
no i don't feel down
i don't feel down
i don't feel down
don't feel down
i don't feel down
______________________________________________________

head like a rock spinning round and round
i found it in the hole sitting upside down
you point the finger at me
but i don't believe
paint me a wish on a velvet sky
... had the answers, you don't know why
in my mind there is no time

the little things that make me so happy
all i wanna do is live by the sea
your little things that make me so happy
but it's good, yes it's good to be free
it's good to be free

so what would you say if i said to you
it's not in what you say it's in what you do
you point the finger at me
but i don't believe
bring it on home to where we found
head is like a rock sitting upside down
in my mind there is no time

your little things that make me so happy
all i wanna do is live by the sea
your little things that make me so happy
but it's good, yes it's good to be free
it's good to be free
yeah it's good, yes it's good to be free
it's good to be free

from those who hope
their minds don't ever let it touch you
cause they'll put words into your mind
so making you feel so ashamed
making you taking the blame
making you cold in the night
making you question your heart and your soul
and you think that it's not quite right

hey, stay young and invincible
cause we know just what we are
and come what may, we're unstopable
cause we know just what we are
yeah we know just what we are
yeah we know just what we are

feed your head with
all the things you need when you're hungry
and stay in bed and sleep all day as long as it's sunny
cause thay'll put words into my mind
they're making me feel so ashamed
they're making me taking the blame
they're making me cold in the night
they're making me question my heart and my soul
and i think that it's not quite right

hey, stay young and invincible
cause we know just what we are
and come what may, we're unstopable
cause we know just what we are
yeah we know just what we are
yeah we know just what we are

i know a girl who's lost and lonely
sits by the phone on her own
but the phone don't ring
and the birds don't sing her tree
she lost herself in a haze of pity
and doesn't know where to run
she's a headshrinker now
and i think it's time we had some fun

lost in the fog
up a tree like a dog
and i'm out of here
i got no name and i feel no shame
and i got no fear
and i bow down
to the tears of a clown
whatever's going down is coming around
i hope you don't regret today
for the rest of your lives
for the rest of your lives
for the rest of your lives
for the rest of your lives

lost in the fog
up a tree like a dog
and i'm out of here
i got no name and i feel no shame

get on with it, come on, get the countin', where is it?
one, two, three, four (spoken)

take the time to make some sense
of what you wanna say
and cast your words away upon the waves
and sail them home with acquiesce
on a ship of hope today
and as they land upon the shore
tell them not to fear no more
say it loud and sing it proud
today

and then dance if you wanna dance
please brother take a chance
you know they're gonna go
which way they wanna go
all we know is that we don't know
how it's gonna be
please brother let it be
life on the other hand
won't let us understand
we're all part of the masterplan

say it loud and sing it proud
today

i'm not saying right is wrong
it's up to us to make
cause everything that's been has past
the answers in the looking glass
there's four and twenty million doors
on lifes endless corridor
say it loud and sing it proud
and they

will dance if they wanna dance
please brother take a chance
you know they're gonna go
which way they wanna go
all we know is that we don't know
how it's gonna be
please brother let it be
life on the other hand
won't make you understand
we're all part of the masterplan

i'd like to be
under the sea
in an octopuses garden in the shade ______________________________________________________
