Far Away & Lost In Joy
I Don't Want To Live This Life
I feel so foolish now
Like a king who's lost his crown
But my young heart still yearns
And my young heart still burns
But the violence of this world
Is sick and so absurd
And my world is tumbling down
And my head is spinning round
And I don't want to live this life
No I don't want to live this life
I've had better days than this
I've been paralysed with bliss
I've had more than I deserve
But now I've lost my nerve
It's time I went away
It's time I found my place
I've lost so many friends
I'm ashamed to show my face
And I don't want to live this life
No I don't want to live this life
But my young heart still yearns
And my young heart still burns
I feel so foolish now
Like a king who's lost his crown
And I don't want to live this life
No I don't want to live this life
I don't want to live this life
Far Away And Lost In Joy
She isn't sure what day it is
But she know it isn't tuesday
She can't remember her last meal
But it was probably last tuesday
In a while she knows she won't feel so ill
In a while she knows she won't feel so ill
Far away
She'll be far away and lost in joy
Now she's trying to get clean
She wants to get out of that scene
But in a while she knows she won't feel so ill
In a while she knows she won't feel so ill
Far away
She'll be far away and lost in joy
Dirty needles and broken dreams
Now she's dying to get out of that scene
Dirty needles and broken dreams
Life ain't anything at all (...)
And she's trying so hard
To make it better
And in a while she knows she won't feel so ill
In a while she knows she won't feel so ill
Far away
She'll be far away and lost in joy
She'll be far away and lost in joy
Do You Know What They're Saying About Me Now?
Do you know what they're saying about me now?
Have you heard what they're saying about me now?
I know thay laugh at me, call me a fool
Maybe I'm not as cool as I once was
They can't hurt me now
I've heard it all before
And anyway I'm feeling better now
Oh am I blue
Oh is it true
The world comes tumbling down like a dream
Oh am I sad
Oh am I blue
Can you see that I've been crying
But there's no more tears for crying
So understand the things I say
You can't hurt me anyway
Do you know what they're saying about me now?
Do you know what they're saying about me now?
Yes I've had better years
And I'm all cried out of tears
I was naive when I was young
But now maybe I'm wise
And everytime I've got it good
I'm scared that I might have it bad
And every time I feel so good
I feel guilty and I feel I'm better off when sad
Look at me now
Am I going down?
And I'm wearing (...) frown
Look at me now
Do I look as if I'm down
And I've almost given up trying
Cause there's no more tears for crying
Do you understand the way I am?
Do you know what they're saying about me now?
Do you know what they're saying about me now?
Do You Think If You Were Beautiful You'd Be Happy?
He Used To Paint In Colors
He used to paint in colors
Especially fond of blue
He used to paint in colors
And his colors they were true
He used to paint in colors
And his colors they were bold
He used to paint in colors
Silver, pink and gold
Now his hands are old and tired
And his eyes are tired too
The red's confused with orange
And the green is wrong with blue
He used to paint in colors
'Cause colors they were true
He used to paint in colors
He used to paint the whole night through
They said his work is childlike
I'd take that as a compliment
He stroked the canvas boldly
Like an angel heaven sent
Now his mind is gone
And his portraits cold and stark
His days are long
And the colors have since gone
He used to paint in colors
He used to paint in colors
He used to paint in colors
Do You Think If You Were Beautiful You'd Be Happy?
Do you think if you were beautiful you'd be happy
Do you think if you were beautiful you'd be loved
Do you think if you were happy you'd be somebody
Do you think if you were beautiful you'd be loved
Do you think if you were beautiful you'd be happy
Do you think if you were beautiful you'd be loved
Do you think if you were someone you'd be glamourous
Do you think if you were happy you'd be loved
Do you think if you were beautiful you'd be happy
Do you think if you were beautiful you'd be loved
Do you think if you were happy you'd be lucky
Do you think if you were lucky you'd be in love
I Suppose You Think It's Funny
I suppose you want to know the truth
I don't really know if I should tell you
I can hear you all laughing about me
I can hear you all talking about me
I know I've done some things that may seem strange
I can't get my ideas from standing out in the rain
I suppose you want to know the truth
But I don't really know if I should tell you
I know sometimes my clothes are odd
But what do you expect from an aging mod
I used to think life was all worthwile
The strongest one have a certain sense of style
But you started something and can't you see
Ever since you the day you had your hooks on (hopes in) me
I know I don't see things and it may seem strange
Getting my ideas from the rain
And I suppose you think it's funny
'Cause every time you laugh, you laugh at me
Ha ha ha ha, bloody ha ha! Bitch!
And I suppose you think it's funny
Jesus, I hate you so much!
I Was A Mod Before You Was A Mod (Easy Mix)
I Was A Mod Before You Was A Mod (Easy Mix)
I can go anywhere anytime I choose
I will never ever be a substitute
Just set me free and then you'll watch me fly
And heaven knows I'm a lucky guy
I look pretty cool in my bowling shoes
My Ben Sherman shirt is a classic shade of blue
Cause I was mod before you was a mod
Yeah I was mod before you was a mod
We're moving around on a cool dance floor
You're taking me down to a distant shore
I'm grooving the night with Mr. Glove
He's showing me things that I didn't know
Drop some blues and away we go
Taking a trip down to the coast
Oh yeah
Cause I was mod before you was a mod
Yeah I was mod before you was a mod
And you take me to a higher ground
The coolest love that I have ever found
Just set me free and then you watch me fly
And heaven knows I'm a lucky guy
I can go anywhere anytime I choose
I will never ever be a substitute
Just set me free and then you'll watch me fly
And heaven knows I'm a lucky guy
I look pretty cool in my bowling shoes
My Ben Sherman shirt is a classic shade of blue
Cause I was a mod before you was a mod
Yeah I was mod before you was a mod
She Lives For The Moment
She lives for the moment
When everything's just right
When the stars are shining bright
She lives for the moment
She lives for the moment
When she feels that she belongs
When the singer sings her song
She lives for the moment
And when she was a child
Her parents' pride and joy
When summer fields are gold
She lives for the moment
She lives for the moment
She lives for the moment
When she knows that she belongs
She lives for the moment
And when the sea is calm
A baby in her arms
And the scars are (...)
Now she's no longer ill
She lives for the moment
When all the grieving's done
When she knows that she belongs
She lives for the moment
When summer turns to autumn
When summer fields are gold
When the story has been told
She lives for the moment
She lives for the moment
When she feels that she belongs
When the singer sings her song
She lives for the moment
She lives for the moment
She lives for the moment
None Of This Will Matter When You're Dead
None of this will matter when you're dead
None of this will matter when you're dead
None of this will matter when you're dead
None of this will matter when you're dead
None of this will matter when you're dead
None of this will matter when you're dead
None of this will matter when you're dead
None of this will matter when you're dead
Night time brings the sadness
My souvenirs of madness
None of this will matter when you're dead
None of this will matter when you're dead
None of this will matter when you're dead
None of this will matter when you're dead
Digging a hole so I can hide
A box of tears that I won't pride
My souvenirs of madness
None of this will matter when you're dead
None of this will matter when you're dead
None of this will matter when you're dead
When you're dead
When you're dead
Lay the blanket right up over your head
None of this will matter when you're dead
