I sat alone with the dreams of children Weeping willows and tall dark building, I've caught a fashion from the dreams of children But woke up sweating from this modern nightmare, and I was alone, no one was there (The Jam)
Classic ^^^^^ The towers of london, these crumbling Rocks Reality estates that the hero’s got And every hour’s maked by the chime of a clock And whatcha gonna do when the darkness surrounds? You can piss in the lifts which have broken down You can watch from the debris the last bedroom light We’re invisible here just past midnight The wives hate their husbands and their husbands don’t care Their children daub slogans to prove they lived there A giant pipe organ up in the air You can’t live in a home which should not have been built By the bourgeoise clerks who bear no guilt When the wind hits this building this building it tilts One day it will surely fall to the ground...
Call out the instigator Because there's something in the air We've got to get together sooner or later Because the revolution's here And you know it's right And you know that it's right We have got to get it together We have got to get it together now Run through the fields and houses Because there's something in the air We've got to get together sooner or later Because the revolution's here
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord And I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord Can you feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord, oh Lord Well if you told me you were drowning, I would not lend a hand I've seen your face before my friend, but I don't know if you know who I am Well I was there and I saw what you did, I saw it with my own two eyes So you can wipe off that grin, I know where you've been It's all been a pack of lies
My sweet Lord Hm, my Lord Hm, my Lord I really want to see you Really want to be with you Really want to see you Lord But it takes so long, my Lord My sweet Lord Hm, my Lord Hm, my Lord
Bought a set of wings that I couldn't use Bought them in a store on the avenue Didn't mean to spend all the cash I had The second that I saw them, I wanted them bad When I got home and I tried them on I noticed that the wingspan was way too long Couldn't take them back, there was no return I should have gotten more, I was feeling burned Gee angel, won't you take these back? Gee angel, gee angel, I need some slack There's nothing in this world that I'd rather do (Gee won't you take these back) Than buy a wet of wings and fly away with you (Gee won't you take these back)
On the wings of a snow white dove he sends his pure sweet love A sign from above on the wings of a dove When troubles surround us when evils come The body grows weak the spirit grows numb When these things beset us he doesn't forget us He sends down his love on the wings of a dove On the wings of a snow white dove...
The jungle near Manaus The Amazonas full of piranhas The birds of paradise Disappear into the green desert For years and years We are hungry and desperate For the only thing worth living The excess We end our Great Mission Exhausted and sad And there is no hope left When suddenly In a cloud of golden smog The father of excess Jumps out of the water of The Amazonas full of piranhas And screams to the lost souls "What are you doing at the Amazonas near Manaus full of piranhas? [burp!] You will not find excess in the jungle" And then He opened the green curtain Made of fleshy leaves and said "I show you the excess of the Asphalt a Montmartre The excess of the belly-dance In Abu Dhabi And the excess of the everlasting night in Manhattan [burp!] Are you ready for the sensacion del tango a Rosario? Leave him, the gorilla Leave the jungle of the Amazonas near Manaus full of piranhas And follow father excess"
Nice short song meowth Now, when the day goes to sleep and the full moon looks The night is so black that the darkness cooks Don't you come creepin' around - makin' me do things I don't want to Can't believe that you need my love so bad Come sneakin' around tryin' to drive me mad Bustin' in on my dreams - making me see things I don't wanna see Break: 'Cause you're da Green Manalishi with the two prong crown All my tryin' is up - all your bringin' is down Just taking my love then slippin' away Leavin' me here just tryin' to keep from following you
Gotta say yes to another excess. (Some Yello songs only make sense in their entirety and not even then)
I'm just mad about Saffron Saffron's mad about me I'm just mad about Saffron She's just mad about me They call me mellow yellow (Quite rightly) They call me mellow yellow (Quite rightly) They call me mellow yellow

A long long time ago I can still remember how that music used to make me smile And I knew if I had my chance That I could make those people dance And maybe they'd be happy for a while But February made me shiver With every paper I'd deliver Bad news on the doorstep I couldn't take one more step I can't remember if I cried When I read about his widowed bride But something touched me deep inside The day the music died So, bye-bye, Miss American Pie Drove my chevy to the levee But the levee was dry And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye Singin' this'll be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die
Musha ring dum a do dum a da. Whack for my daddy-o, Whack for my daddy-o There's whiskey in the jar-o
Brown girl in the ring Tra la la la la There's a brown girl in the ring Tra la la la la la Brown girl in the ring Tra la la la la She looks like a sugar in a plum Plum plum
I fumble for change - and pull out the Queen Smiling, beguiling I put in the money and pull out a plum, Behind me Whispers in the shadows - gruff blazing voices, Hating, waiting "Hey boy" they shout - "have you got any money?" And I said - "I've a little money and a take away curry, I'm on my way home to my wife. She'll be lining up the cutlery, You know she's expecting me Polishing the glasses and pulling out the cork" And I'm down in the tube station at midnight
I'm gonna wait 'til the midnight hour That's when my love comes tumbling down I'm gonna wait 'til the midnight hour When there's no one else around I'm gonna take you girl and hold you And do all things I told you in the midnight hour Yes I am, yes I am One more thing I just wanna say right here I'm gonna wait till the stars come out And see them twinkle in your eyes I'm gonna wait 'till the midnight hour That's when my love begins to shine
Love is a many splendored thing It's the April rose That only grows in the early spring Love is nature's way of giving A reason to be living The golden crown that makes a man a king Once on a high and windy hill In the morning mist Two lovers kissed And the world stood still Then your fingers touched My silent heart and taught it how to sing Yes, true love's A many splendored thing
