Up and Down

You say it's good you say it's bad
You say you're happy and then you're sad
The times I'm right I'm always wrong
You're in the gang but you don't belong
I'm going round and round and round
I'm going up and down down down
You're in the east, you're in the west
You're at your worst when you're at your best
Life's too soft but times are hard
We stay together but fall apart
I'm going round and round and round
I'm going up and down down down
Round and round
Up and down
Round and round
Up and down
I'm on the outside, I'm on the inside
I don't even know what side I'm on
It's getting dark it's getting light
You're feeling loose, but you're getting tight
I'm going round and round and round
I'm going up and down down down
Round and round
Up and down
Round and round
Up and down

Afterlife
03:17
|

|
Now I start to understand the things you did to me
I'm standing alone looking at my phone and it's plain to see
Passive aggressive texts I fooled myself and ignored
I'm studying them now word for word for word for word
I'm going into afterlife
After that life you made me live
I'm going into afterlife
I'm not ready to forgive
I took it on myself to do the work and earn the dough
The things that you were thinking and doing I will never know
I beat myself up, brushed myself down time and time again
Pretending things would change but never knowing how or when
I'm going into afterlife
After that life you made me live
I'm going into afterlife
I'm not ready to forgive
I can look in the mirror now
And recognise who's looking back at me
I'm going into afterlife
After that life you made me live

Flowers

She's got you in her spell
That's a bad place to be
You need to know as well
She's been talking to me
But I see through the smile
Though it took me quite a while
You don't take flowers to a girl
You don't take flowers to a girl
You don't take flowers to a girl like that
She plays around the town
Every Saturday night
She'll give herself to anyone
If they treat her right
Love and romance ain't her thing
She needs to hear the ching, ching, ching
You don't take flowers to a girl
You don't take flowers to a girl
You don't take flowers to a girl like that
She'll steal your heart
And treat you like a pet
But when you part
You're just another she'll forget
Throw away your bouquet
And tell her you're through
Turn around and walk away
She won't care about you
She'll find another guy
And make him buy, buy, buy
You don't take flowers to a girl
You don't take flowers to a girl
You don't take flowers to a girl like that

Take Me Down
02:49

Window of sunshine
Jam sandwiches tea
This was my madeleine
Moment you see
Won't you take me down
Take me down again
Were you there at all or
Was everything a dream
I can't really recall
You're not what you seemed
Won't you take me down
Take me down again
Triggering Pictures
Lost in my mind
How can I find some?
While others are blind
Some days are clear
Some lost for good
Tiny memories
I'd find if I could
Won't you take me down
Take me down again
Won't you take me down
Take me down again

Launch pad lift off far away
Return again another day?
On a pathway to a fallen star
Where is all that came before?
We can dream when we're asleep
Our earth sojourn a timely weep
Space and time continuum
Universal human
Chorus
Light years and big tears
Out into the unknown
Expanding into the abyss
Will it hit or will it miss?
We pray to Gods who made the rules
Planetary solitude
Chorus
Light years and big tears
Out into the unknown

Career Teacher
02:06
|

|
He's got a 2/1 degree in history
From a red brick in the west
He's comprehensive earnestly
He likes his Courage best
He's public sector through and through
He tries hard to convince
He grew a beard in seventy-two
And it's been there ever since
He's a career teacher
In an inner city school
He's a career teacher
Call him Mr Cool
He's got leather pads on his jacket sleeve
And chalk dust on his hands
They call him Sir but he prefers Steve
He plays bass in a folk rock band
He went on strike in eighty seven
And picketed the gate
He read books on Benn and Aneurin Bevan
And political heavyweights
He's a career teacher
In an inner city school
He's a career teacher
Call him Mr Cool
He knows every word of every song
On Bob's Another side
But when Highway 61 came along
He nearly lost his mind
His pension scheme lets him live his dream
Of municipal allotment days
He bought a 2CV in seventy three
And it's still around today
He's a career teacher
In an inner city school
He's a career teacher
Call him Mr Cool
Dum de dum etc
He's still a career teacher today

Marjorie Dawson lived at number 47 Holly Avenue
She went shopping every morning baked cakes in the kitchen in the afternoon
Morning coffee and lots of cleaning
Were her daily routine
Oh Marjorie Dawson lived a very, very, very domestic life
Oh Marjorie Dawson was a very very very very dutiful wife
Marjorie Dawson went to meetings of the local Women's Institute
She served on the committee and became a person of extremely high repute
Charity work and raising funds
Cream teas and buttered buns
Oh Marjorie Dawson lived a very, very, very domestic life
Oh Marjorie Dawson was a very very very very dutiful wife
But in solitary moments
She felt an inner torment
Was there a world outside
That she had sacrificed?
See saw, Marjorie Daw
Don't you want more Marjorie Daw?
Oh Marjorie Dawson lived a very, very, very domestic life
Oh Marjorie Dawson was a very very very very dutiful wife
Oh Marjorie so domestic
Oh Marjorie so dutiful
Wife

Positively Red

Now we've had enough
So call your bluff
Conveniently forgot
Kettle blacker than the pot
Over, over and over
Luck like a 4 leaf clover
Can't believe the things you've said
Positively Red
Redder than a summer sky
Positively Red
Don't know why
Things you said you'd be
In your poetry
Should have made a note
Trying to keep this boat afloat
Deeper, deeper and deeper
How did you ever keep her?
It's a mystery to me
Positively Red
Redder than a summer sky
Positively Red
Don't know why
Time's come to take some action
Feel that satisfaction
Believe in what I see
You're haunting me
Positively Red
Redder than a summer sky
Positively Red
Don't know why

Lie Detector
02:47

Everything you see
Don't believe your eyes
What's up is really down
That may be a surprise
Everything you hear
Don't believe your ears
Confusion is the game
It's not what it appears
Lie, lie, lie detector
Agent number one
Lie, lie, lie detector
Over-worked and out of fun
No one tells it straight
It's just another lie
Love soon turns to hate
Hello becomes goodbye
Deception is a trick
They learnt it from the best
The cards aren't in the pack
They're dealing from the rest
Lie, lie, lie detector
Agent number one
Lie, lie, lie detector
Over-worked and out of fun

That concert in the park
We stayed 'til after dark
The music took us away
On that balmy summer day
We walked along the beach
As far as we could reach
We went insside a cave
And listened to the waves
Each day with you was another surprise
I felt I'd found
The girl with the world in her eyes
We always had our dreams
Strange now as the they seem
You said you wanted a boat
Spend all your life afloat
Your house was on a hill
I think about it still
Playing your records all day
Whiling the hours away
Each day with you was another surprise
I felt I'd found
The girl with the world in her eyes
In her eyes
The girl with the world in her eyes
