I got drawers and I got things I got beer that I like to drink I got guitars and I got strings I got songs that I like to sing
But today the sky is blue And I got sunshine in my heart There’s no stopping you What busy creatures you are
You got mountains that you love to climb You got bikes that you like to ride You got games that you love to play You got a big TV and you like it that way
But today the sky is blue And I got sunshine in my heart (SUNSHINE) There’s no stopping you What busy creatures you are
You got people that you love to hate You got regrets and you got mistakes You got bridges burned down to the ground And some day soon you won’t be around
But today the sky is blue And I got sunshine in my heart There’s no stopping you What busy creatures you are What busy creatures you are What busy creatures you are
Nothing to Say
I got nothing to say about the sunset I got nothing to say about the breeze I got nothing to say about the politics I got nothing to say about the lies you tell Every day every day
You do it for money It’s perfectly understandable You do it for money And the things that money buys
I buy some whisky I buy some chocolate I buy some ramen
Another thing that I might buy A little toy car I had when I was a child I saw it in a supermarket In a shiny packet
The kind of thing that I might go for On a Wednesday afternoon
If I’m not psychotic Or suicidal Or in negotiation With a social situation
The kind of thing that I might go for On a Wednesday afternoon
Shoulders back, head held high Make like you know what you’re doing Shoulders back, head held high Make like you know what you’re doing
And maybe they won’t know That you’re a human That’s what they call us If we’re economically viable And we got all the numbers
Make like you know what you’re doing Make like you know what you’re doing
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
Rock and Roll Singer in a Country Band
I saw a rock and roll singer in a country band Singing like he meant it Singing like he can
Nothing get me going like a rock and roll song Make me feel alive make me feel like I belong
Banging out the truth on a nylon string You ain’t gonna hear it if it ain’t your thing
Nothing get me going like a rock and roll song Make me feel alive make me feel like I belong
And the river rolls on Yeah the river rolls on and on and on
And I just keep singing my song
Yeah the river rolls on and on and on Yeah the river rolls on and on and on and on
And I just keep singing my song
I saw a rock and roll singer in a country band Singing like he had to Singing like he can
Nothing get me going like a rock and roll song Make me feel alive make me feel like I belong
Addicted
I’m addicted I’m addicted to your love babe I’m addicted I’m addicted to your love babe
Let’s make something clear There’s only one thing that I fear Running out of your love Running out of your love
I’m addicted I’m addicted to your love babe I’m addicted I’m addicted to your love babe
Is there someone I can talk to Is there some place I could go for help Is there a pill I could take To get me straight
Cos I just can’t get enough I just can’t get enough of your love I just can’t get enough I just can’t get enough of your love
I’m addicted I’m addicted I’m addicted I’m addicted To your love
Dream On
I know that I was angry And I know that I upset you And I know you don’t you deserve the things I say
But I’d trade all my tomorrows For just one more yesterday With you With you
I been walking through this city Thinking maybe I belong It’s as good a place as any To try to write another song
I think that I could make it On a wing and a prayer But what’s the use of paradise If I know you won’t be there
Dream on Act like tomorrow’s gonna come Dream on Just like you been dancing all along
You been busy living I been busy dying Somehow we been busy getting on
I was trying to find the trail behind The color of the sunset To the place where I can get you on your own
It’s a caustic combination Of denial and deceit If you wanna make it easier Let’s just say that it’s belief
I think that I could make it On a wing and a prayer But what’s the use of paradise If I know you won’t be there
Dream on Act like tomorrow’s gonna come Dream on Just like you been dancing all along
I know that I was angry And I know that I upset you And I know you don’t you deserve the things I say
But I’d trade all my tomorrows For just one more yesterday With you With you
All Eyes on the River
All eyes on the river All eyes on the river All eyes on the river As it rolls
Little place in the south of France Drinking Pastis on the street Cloudy in the glass Cloudy in my head In the heat
Drinking Pastis With the old men in the street
All eyes on the river All eyes on the river All eyes on the river As it rolls
Autumn leaves are shining In a shrine in north Kyoto Walking down a back street Ain’t nobody taking photos That no one’s ever going to see
Walking down a back street Just trying to be
All eyes on the river All eyes on the river All eyes on the river As it rolls down to the sea
Down by the River
You know your lies ain’t welcome here There are some things that I just won’t hear You know your lies ain’t welcome here
Too much water under the bridge You sit around and wander bout the way it is Well you sold the water and you sold the bridge Maybe that’s why it’s the way it is
And there may be hope for the water But you can kiss goodbye to the bridge
Down by the river There’s a tale to tell All the Kings and Queens have gone to hell If the greed don’t get you then nothing else will
Down by the river There’s a game to play Where a truth and a lie are one and the same The devil’s gonna have his day And it won’t make no difference However you choose to pray
Down by the river Down by the river Down by the river Down by the river
You know your lies ain’t welcome here There are some things that I just won’t hear You know your lies ain’t welcome here
Wouldn’t Know Where To Start
You know your heart is beating You can feel it in your chest I don’t know what I was thinking Is it time to let it rest?
And you know what’s right Do ya? And you know what’s wrong Do ya?
It’s cold in the city But the night’s on fire It’s cold in the city But the night’s on fire
There’s a breakdown in communication Living in a tribal nation And I don’t have a song to sing I don’t have a thing to say Wouldn’t know where to start
Here come the lies Again Here come the lies Here come the lies Again
But they don’t fall from your lips As easily as they once did As if the sunrise has got you tongue-tied In the cold light of a brand new day
And I don’t have a thing to say
Just Because
Autumn leaves are changing There’s a chill inside the air I think that I could make it If I know that you’ll be there
I may not find the answers In the bottom of a cup But I try Just because
Not a million miles from here They’re dying in the sun As the lie completes its journey Down the barrel of a gun
It’s a battle to the death In a war that can’t be won Just because Just because
The sky don’t know my name Just because You play your stupid games Just because I love you Just because
Time that waits for no man Is the time that marches on Time there was for wasting And for the wine And for the song
Time to light a candle To the love we know is gone Just because Just because
I see no earthly reason I should pay you any mind In a deluge of indifference I think I might be blind
From the comfort of my ignorance I’ll tell you what I find Just because Just because
The sky don’t know my name Just because You play your stupid games Just because I love you Just because
Och, It’s All Done Now
Who put the petals on that flower Who put the salt into the sea Who put the color in that sunset I ignored Who put the fool into me
Och, it’s all done now Dreams are for the young Sleep is for the old Regrets are a luxury If you get the time then feel free
Ain’t no time for that if you’re a working man No time for regrets when you’re a working man
Grey skies and bare branches Through hazy eyes I see no second chances Old Father Time gonna show you who the boss is And it ain’t you or I
Och, it’s all done now Dreams are for the young Sleep is for the old Regrets are a luxury If you get the time then feel free
Ain’t no time for that if you’re a working man No time for regrets when you’re a working man
Who put the petals on that flower Who put the salt into the sea Who put the color in that sunset I ignored Who put the fool into me
Learning How To Breathe
When the storm subsided The world was not the same A fast track to paradise Might not be the way to play the game
There’s no doubting That you’re better now You’re learning how to breathe Who know’s how many lifetimes It can take to feel at ease
Please don’t mistake this confidence For something that is real It’s the mirage of a maniac Not something you could ever touch or feel
There’s no doubting That you’re better now You’re learning how to breathe There’s no doubting That you’re better now If you could only get some Just a little sleep
You crystalised confusion But maybe nothing changed On the coat-tails of innocence You tried to float away
There’s no doubting That you’re better now You’re learning how to breathe There’s no doubting That you’re better now
Or was it just A little something on the breeze Was it just A little something on the breeze
You Thought I was Crazy
I can hear you lying From a thousand miles away To think I used to listen to a word you had to say I will not be making That mistake again Watch me turn my back and walk away
You thought I was crazy I could live with that You thought I was crazy - crazy Well alright alright Alright alright alright
Ah the big city dreams Gonna ride that train as fas as it’ll let you go You got the light Take it into the night Do what you might Do what you might Do what you might
You thought I was crazy I could live with that You thought I was crazy - crazy Well alright alright Alright alright alright
Never thought we’d get this far Though it ain’t that far at all My legs are heavy And my mind is weary Might be time to make the call
But the blue sky’s still intriguing And the sunset fills my eyes I ain’t given up believing I might see through all the lies
Well alright alright Alright alright alright Alright alright
