The Strangely Beautiful E.P
Strangely Beautiful
Hey boy cool down, it's not the end of the world
Just buy a ticket and take a train, you'll find yourself tomorrow
Hey girl, dry those tears, you'll find another lover
Someone who'll care, and cherish you, like no other
And everything you want to be is everything that you can be
And everything you want to see, is waiting to be seen
So hey boy chill out, it's not the end of the world
Take a look outside, you never know what you might find
Take a look outside, the world looks strangely beautiful today
So cool down, it's not the end of the world
And the world looks strangely beautiful today
Reaching For The Stars
No, don't go back, don't return,
No one knows that you're here, you know you're safe
Safe with me, so rest your head
No one knows that you're here.
Try, try and reach for the stars
Learn to live with the scars that only time can heal
Try, try and reach for the stars
Learn to live with the scars that only time can heal
But if we give a little more
The chances are you will find that you get more in return
You're safe with me so don't go back
Cause no one knows that you're here
Try, try and reach for the stars
Learn to live with the scars that only time can heal
Try, try and reach for the stars
Learn to live with the scars that only time can heal
No one knows you're here
Your secret's safe with me
Secret's safe with me
And then you'll realize, what it was
You wanted anyway so don't go back
You're safe with me, no don't return
Just rest your head
Try, try and reach for the stars
Learn to live with the scars that only time can heal
Try, try and reach for the stars
Learn to live with the scars that only time can heal
No one knows you're here
Your secret's safe with me
Secret's safe with me
Not Even A Maybe
I'm a danger to myself
A bullet in the right place could change the world
And the time is right
But freedom only comes with liberty
And I'm prepared to fight
They think I'm drugged up
They think I'm hung up
And he's a dreamer
And he's a schemer
And you're too scared to join me
Not even a maybe
Not even a maybe
I told you paradise is for the blessed
You could be halfway there
Freedom's yours you have to break the chains
Depends how much you care
You think I'm smacked up
You think I'm washed up
You think I'm foolish
You think I'm selfish
And you're too scared to join me
Not even a maybe
You think I'm drugged up
You think I'm hung up
And I'm a dreamer
And I'm a schemer
And you're too scared to join me
Not even a maybe
Not even a maybe
Not even a maybe
A man can change the world with a bullet in the right place
Paradise is for the blessed not for the sex obsessed
Violence and revolution (...)
War is the last possible creative act
She's Never Read My Poems
She's Never Read My Poems
She has gone away
But it's ok
Tomorrow is another day
I was a fool
But now it's cool
She sends me postcards every day
But for me the hardest part is knowing
That she's never ever read my poems
I was her clown
I made her smile
She clapped her hands and I fell down
But she is still my friend
And that won't end
I phone her every other day
But for me the hardest part is knowing
That she's never ever read my poems
I took a word or two from Byron
A line or two form Keats
A smattering of Shelley and put my name underneath
She'll never know
I'm sending them today
I don't know what she'll say
She'll probably laugh and throw them all away
But I didn't like them anyway
The Day the Dolphins Leave the Sea
Beautiful creatures we are in disgrace
Makes me want to bury my head in shame
The sea is in torment and all's not well
Soon we'll have no stories left to tell
And the saddest day for me
Will be the day the dolphins leave the sea
Landscape's in turmoil the fields are bad
The trees stand tall but troubled with despair
Through acid rains they are beyond repair
I hope its not too late to show we care
And the saddest day for me
Will be the day that the dolphins leave the sea
Beautiful creature so beyond compare
I hope you know that some of us still care
Beautiful creature we are in disgrace
Makes me want to bury my head in shame
And the saddest day for me
Will be the day that the dolphins leave the sea
Christ Knows, I Have Tried
It's not the easiest thing in the world to love someone
It's not the easiest thing in the world to tell someone
So if you've got somebody you love
Then let them know they're loved
Then it's the easiest thing in the world to love someone
It's not the easiest thing in the world to show your tears
It's not the easiest thing in the world to share your fears
So let the tears run down your face
And never ever ever be ashamed
It's not the easiest thing in the world to love someone
It's not that easy to try to swallow your pride
Yes I know it's not that easy
Oh Christ knows, I've tried
Yes, Christ knows, I've tried
It's not the easiest thing in the world to love someone
It's not the easiest thing in the world to tell someone
So let the tears run down your face
And never be ashamed
It's not the easiest thing in this world to love someone

An Exibition By Joan Miro
Wild
We go to parties, she dresses to impress
She's the kind of girl that other girls respect
She's a real cool cat
She knows just what she wants
She is a raver
She sells sea shells on a sea shore
Well I'd buy one and a million more
Oh I can't describe her I really don't know
She's like an exibition by Joan Miro
She's with me now, we're walking down the street
She's looking cool and very very sweet
I take her with me wherever I go
She is a groover
She sells sea shells on a sea shore
Well I'd buy one and a million more
Oh I can't describe her I really don't know
She's like an exibition by Joan Miro
Better than Picasso
Picasso was an asshole
Really wild
Love Is Better Than War
There's one thing that makes you feel so good
But I know that love can be misunderstood
But love is so magical and there's one thing for sure
I know that love is better than war
Love can take you to the highest high
Love is something you just can't deny
Love is so magical and there's one thing for sure
I know that love is better than war
Love is something we all feel inside
Love is everywhere it's yours and mine
Love is so magical and there's one thing for sure
I know that love is better than war
I know sometimes that love can be absurd
I know sometimes that I am lost for words
But love is so magical and there's one thing for sure
I know that love is better than war
Goodnight Mr. Spaceman
Goodnight Mr. Spaceman
Well they gave me amytriptiline
They fed me pseudochlorophine
It helped me sleep
But I felt so deep
And most of the time I wanted to weep
The days seemed black just like the night
A big long tunnel without lights
Where everything's dark then everything's bright
Oh, the train's gone past my station
Oh bloody hell I wish I'd signed to Creation
Singing goodnight Jowe, goodnight Dan
Goodnight Mr. Spaceman
Goodnight Mr. Spaceman
Well I think I'll die of a broken heart
If my record doesn't make the indie charts
I'll do anything
I'll swallow my pride
Commit artistic suicide
And I dig St. Etienne, Denim and Suede
And naturally I go to the occasional rave
But when I was young it was Wizzard and Slade
Oh, this record is sponsored by Pepsi
I've taken three e's I still can't dance like Bobby Gillespie
And maybe...
Singing goodnight Jowe, goodnight Dan
Goodnight Mr. Spaceman
Goodnight Mr. Spaceman
And I like to walk around the town
With my trousers halfway down
And I often feel like Edvard Munch
If my analyst calls I'm out to lunch
Singing goodnight Jowe, goodnight Dan
Goodnight Mr. Spaceman
Goodnight Mr. Spaceman
[What's a nice alien like you doing in a place like this?]
Goodnight Jowe, goodnight Dan
Goodnight Mr. Spaceman
Goodnight Mr. Spaceman
Goodnight Jowe, goodnight Dan
Goodnight Mr. Spaceman
Goodnight Mr. Spaceman
[This is Planet Earth]
Goodnight Jowe, goodnight Dan
I'm off my face
If I Was Your Girlfriend
It sends a shiver down my spine
I can't deny these feelings inside
I wonder what it would be like
To sleep by your side I can't deny
But there's no passion in my life anymore
There is no passion in my life
But oh if I was your girlfriend
I feel myself when I'm with you
That much is true when I'm with you
There is no passion in my life anymore
There is no passion in my life
But oh if I was your girlfriend
There is no passion in my life
But oh if I was your girlfriend
It must be difficult for girls
How would I know?
We're in two different worlds
How would I know
But if I was your girlfriend
I was your girlfriend
Oh if I was your girlfriend
And I guess you've got it bad
How would I know?
Let your feelings show
Then I could know
Just what it's like
If I was your girlfriend
And I know you're a witch
But at least you're a good witch
It must be difficult for girls
Difficult for girls
I was your girlfriend
Difficult for girls
She Loves It When He Sings Like Elvis
The day that Elvis Presley died
It hurt so much she could not cry
She played his records through the night
Until she was so tired
He's always there to dry her tears
When nobody else is
And then she says she loves it when he sings like Elvis
And when she's lonesome late at night
Another (...) to hold her tight
He sings to her
'Till she starts to (...)
He's always there to dry her tears
When nobody else is
And then she says she loves it when he sings like Elvis
She does not have a wooden heart
But when the teardrops slowly start
She's all shook up
And there's one voice she longs to hear
He's always there to still her tears
(She loves it when he sings like Elvis)
The day that Elvis Presley died
It hurt so much she could not cry
But he's always there when nobody else is
And then she says she loves him when he sings like Elvis
