I got something in my shoes It's keeping me from walking Down a long and winding road And back home to you I've seen this town it seems to be That's what you got for sleeping with the enemy Where angels fly, you won't play So guess who's gonna take the blame for My big mouth And my big name I'll put on my shoes as I'm walking slowly down the hall of fame Into my big mouth You can fly a plane I'll put on my shoes as I'm walking slowly down the hall of fame Slowly down the hall of fame I ain't ever spoke to God And I ain't ever been to heaven But you assume I knew the way Even though the map was given And as you look into the eyes Of a bloody cold assassin It's only then you realize Winnings what you have been missing And all your sounds cease to be That's what you got for sleeping with the N.M.E. Where angels fly, you won't play So guess who's gonna take the blame for My big mouth And my big name I'll put on my shoes while I'm walking slowly down the hall of fame Into my big mouth Yeah, you can fly a plane I'll put on my shoes while I'm walking slowly down the hall of fame Slowly down the hall of fame Slowly down the hall of fame And all this town will cease to be That's what you got for sleeping with the enemy Where angels fly, you won't play I guess you're gonna take the blame for my big mouth And my big name I'll put on my shoes while I'm walking slowly down the hall of fame Into my big mouth Yeah, you can fly a plane I'll put on my shoes while I'm walking slowly down the hall of fame Slowly down the hall of fame Slowly down the hall of fame Slowly down the hall of fame Slowly down the hall of fame (3) Magic Pie An extraordinary guy can never have an ordinary day He might live a long goodbye But that is not for me to say I dig his friends I dig his shoes But he is just a child with nothing to lose But his mind, his mind They are sleeping while they dream But then they want to be adored They who don't say what they mean Will live and die by their own sword I dig their friends I dig their shoes But they are like a child with nothing to lose But their minds, yeah their minds I'll have my way In my own time I'll have my say My star will shine `cause you see me I've got my magic pie Think of me Yeah that was me I was that passer by I've been and now I've gone There are but a thousand days but heading for a thousand years Many minds to educate, and people who have disappeared To dig my friends To dig my shoes I am like a child with nothing to lose But my mind, yeah my mind We'll have our way In our own time In our own time We'll have our say `cause my star's gonna shine `cause you see me I've got my magic pie Think of me, yeah that was me I was that passer by, I've been and now I've gone `cause you see me I've got my magic pie Think of me, yeah that was me I was that passer by I've been and now I've gone (4) Stand By Me Made a meal and threw it up on Sunday I've, Got a lot of things to learn Said I would and I believe in one day Before my heart starts to burn So whats the matter with you Sing me something new Don't you know the cold and wind and rain don't know They only seem to come and go away Times are hard when things have got no meaning I've found a key upon the floor Maybe you and I will not believe in The thing we find behind the door So whats the matter with you Sing me something new Don't you know the cold and wind and rain don't know They only seem to come and go away Stand by me Nobody knows the way it's gonna be Stand by me Nobody knows the way it's gonna be Stand by me Nobody knows the way it's gonna be Stand by me Nobody knows Yeah nobody knows The way it's gonna be If your leaving will you take me with you?

(11) It's Getting Better Say Something Shout it from the roof tops off your head Maybe sort of mean something Make me understand or I'll forget You could hear the wise speeches Wish upon a wave that had a sound Recommend what life teaches You to build a castle in your head Maybe the songs that we sing are wrong Maybe the dreams that we dream are gone Bring it on home and it wont be long It's getting better man! Hey what was that you said to me Just say the word and I'll be free And when the stars are shining bright We're getting better man! And crashing in upon a wave It's calling out beyond the grave Well I'm a fire in the sky We're getting better man! Build something Build a better place and call it home Even if it means nothing You'll never ever feel that your alone `cause maybe the songs that we sing are wrong Maybe the dreams that we dream are gone Bring it on home and it wont be long It's getting better man! Hey what was that you said to me Just say the word and I'll be free Yeah as the fire in the sky It's getting better man! And crashing in upon a wave It's calling out beyond the grave And when the stars are shining bright It's getting better man! It's getting better man! And what was that you said to me You told me one day I'd be free And when the fires burning bright I'm getting better man! And crashing in upon a wave It's calling out beyond the grave And when the stars are in the sky We're getting better man We're getting better man We're getting better man We're getting better man
