Where there's life there's gotta be hope
And where there's a will there's a way
One man's pain is another mans
I gotta get out to play

Where there's life there's gotta be hope
And where there's a will there's a way
Amid divisions you're so low
You know I gotta get out today

And where there's a will there's a way

Take me to the top

You can't tell me, you can't tell me
You can't tell me anything
I love only me, I love only me
I've got the answer to everything

There's only me, so suggest what I do
I am the garage flower
I don't need to stare, 'cause I know everywhere
Well there's a place for me anywhere

Tell me, tell me
You tell me anything
You can't tell, you won't tell
Me anything, anything

I love only me, I love only me
I've got the answers to everything
I don't need to stare, 'cause I know everywhere
Well there's a place for me anywhere

Tell me, tell me
You tell me anything
Tell me, tell me
You can't tell us anything
You can't tell, you won't tell
Me anything, anything

Tell me, tell me
You tell me anything
Tell me, tell me
You can't tell us anything
You can't tell, you won't tell
You can't

I am the garage flower
I am the garage flower

Take me to the top

Until Sally I was never happy
I needed so much more
Rain clouds, oh they used to chase me
Down they would pour
Join my tears, allay my fears

Sent to me from heaven
Sally Cinnamon, you are my world

I pop pop pop blow blow bubble gum
You taste of Cherryade
There is something, hey, you must show me
From what you are made
Sugar and spice
And all things nice

Sent to me from heaven
Sally Cinnamon, you are my world

Your eyes are gazing back from
Every little piece of glass
You seem to smile from everything

Sally Cinnamon
You are my world

Then I put the letter back in
The place where it was found
In the pocket of her jacket
On a train in town

Sent to her from heaven

Sally Cinnamon

Your her world

Take me to the top

I'm not so sure, and yet I know
Give me your lie
It's worthless anyhow
And here it comes

I'm not so tall
As I like to think I am
Though I'll be found
Forever in your pain
And here it comes

I'd rather be no one than someone with no one
I'd rather be no one than someone with no one
I'd rather be no one than someone with
No one to love

And it's useless to her
And I'm useless to her

I'd rather be no one than someone with no one
I'd rather be no one than someone with no one
I'd rather be no one than someone with
No one to love

And it's useless to her

And I'm useless to her

Take me to the top

Bones of an impressive romance
Scattered all across the sands
A secret safe with all the world
Too vain to seem so capable

Can you hear it calling
Do you feel warmer
As the hired hand's exposed

How can a pretty painted shell
Send them all packing off to Hell
A freight train laughs and rattles by
You kissed the girls and made them die

Can you hear it calling
Do you feel warmer
As the hired hand's exposed

And I'll never come here again
Ah, we will never come here again
Ah, we will never play here again, again

Can you hear it calling
Do you feel warmer
As the hired hand's exposed

I feel low
I feel cold
I feel cold
'Til I call
Can you hear it calling
Do you feel warmer
As the hired hand's exposed

After her call
After her call
After her call
And she calls

Take me to the top

Burst into heaven
Kissing the cotton clouds
Arctic sheets and fields of wheat
I can't stop coming down

Your shrunken head
Looking down on me above
Send me home like an elephant stone
To smash my dream of love

Dreaming till the sun goes down
And night turns into day
Rooms are empty I've got plenty
You could move in right away

Seems like there's a hole
In my dreams
In my dreams
In my dreams

Down through the heavens
Choke on the cotton clouds
Arctic sheets and fields of wheat
I can't stop coming down

Your shrunken head
Looking down on me above
Send me home like an elephant stone
To smash my dream of love

Did your bed and bookshelf go
And run run run away
These four walls saw the rise and fall
And your moonlight getaway

Seems like there's a hole
In my dreams
Or so it seems
Yet nothing means anything
Anymore

Take me to the top

The hardest thing in the world

Holland plays it don't please
I never wanted to leave
Searching for a perfect day
It never happens that way
A hey hey hey

I'm sick and tired and so obscene
Will heaven help me be clean?
Searching for a perfect day
It never happens that way
A hey hey hey

Cut away, I know your world wants you around

You never heard a word I said
It's very simple to me
That if you knew you wouldn't say
It never happens that way
A hey hey hey

And the impression I get
As the story unfurls
s'that you're the hardest thing in the world

Cut away, I know your world wants you around

What you feel might not be
It seems so far to me
I cannot climb to touch your spire
I'm getting higher and higher

Cut away, I know your world wants you around

The hardest thing in the world

Take me to the top

Dawn sings in the garden
Phone sings in the hall
This boy's dead from two day's life
Resurrected by the call
Penny here, we've got to come, so come on round to me
There's so much Penny lying here to touch, taste and tease

Ring a ding ding ding I'm going down
I'm coming round

Penny's place her crummy room
Her Dansette crackles to Jimi's tune
I don't care, I taste Ambre Solaire
Her neck, her thighs, her lips, her hair
Ring a ding ding ding I'm going down
I'm coming around

All thoughts of sleep desert me
There is no time
Thirty minutes brings me round to
Her number 9

Yeah, she looks like a painting
Jackson Pollock's Number 5
Come into the forest and taste the trees
The sun starts shining and I'm hard to please

Ring a ding ding ding I'm going down
I'm coming around

All thoughts of sleep desert me
There is no time
Thirty minutes brings me round to
Her number 9

To look down on the clouds
You don't need to fly
I've never flown in a plane
I'll live until I die

Take me to the top

River splashes against the rocks
And I scale the slope and hope the tracks won't
Lead me down to dark black pits or
Places where we fall to bits
If she were there I'd hold her down
I'll push her under while she drowns and
Couldn't breathe and call for air
She doesn't care for my despair

Or is it me?
Or the one that's wrong
You see it in the sea
River cool's where I belong

In my Mersey paradise

As I stare an oil wheel comes
Sailing by and I feel like
Growing fins and falling in
With the bricks, the bikes, the rusty tin I
Swim along without a care
I'll eating sand when I need air you can
Bet your life I'll meet a Pike who'll
Wolf me down for tea tonight

I want to be
Where the drownings are
You see it in the sea
River cool's where I belong

In my Mersey paradise

I want to be
Where the drownings are
You see it in the sea
River cool's where I belong
(Oh yeah)
I want to be
Where the drownings are
You see it in the sea
River cool's where I belong

In my Mersey paradise

Take me to the top

I'm standing on a hilltop
A hundred miles from home
I can see the light surrounds me
I want you to show me around

I'm standing here
I really don't think you know that
I'm in heaven when you smile

I'm drifting through the city
I'm swinging from a tree
I can touch, but you can't feel me
You hear me as you sleep

I'm standing here
I really don't think you know that
I'm in heaven when you smile

And I'm everywhere
I really don't think you know that
I'm in heaven when you smile
But I don't think you think like I do
No matter how how hard I try
I always thought I'd have the answer
Let me tell you what I've got

I'm looking through your window
I might just have the key
Over me my free-fall baby
You hear me as you speak

I'm standing here
I really don't think you know that
I'm in heaven when you smile
I'm standing here
I really don't think you know that
I'm in heaven when you smile

But I'm everywhere
I really don't think you know that
I'm in heaven when you smile

But I don't think you think like I do
No matter how how hard I try
I always thought I had the answer
Let me tell you what I've got
Oh let it rot I made them stop

I could park the juggernaut in your mouth
And I can feel the hurricane when you shout
I should be safe forever in your arms
I should be safe forever in your arms
Who could park the juggernaut in your mouth?
And who can feel the hurricane when you shout?
I should be safe forever in your arms
I should be safe forever in your arms

Take me to the top

Come with me to a place no eyes have ever seen
A million miles from here where no one's ever been
God-given grace and a holy heaven face
I'm on the edge of something shattering
I'm coming through

"Ok, let's fly," she says, "this carpet's made for two"
This ugly little box, no place for me and you
Our carpet falls on a dew-fresh daffodil plain
Take a look around, there's something happening
All the colors fade

I don't want you now, bang bang bang gone
Ooh I don't need you now, the seeds are sown
Ooh bang bang pretty pretty, bang bang
I don't think so, no no
I don't think so, no no
Bang bang, bang bang

Out below the country rolls like a mighty boiling sea
The warm red sun gives up and sinks into the trees
But I'm no fool, I can't stand here betrayed
Take a look around there's something happening
All the colours fade

I don't want you now, bang bang bang gone
Ooh I don't need you now, the seeds are sown
Ooh bang bang pretty pretty, bang bang
I don't think so, no no
I don't think so, no no
Bang bang, bang bang

Take me to the top

The gold road's sure a long road
Winds on through the hills for fifteen days
The pack on my back is aching
The straps seem to cut me like a knife

The gold road's sure a long road
Winds on through the hills for fifteen days
The pack on my back is aching
The straps seem to cut me like a knife

I'm no clown I won't back down
I don't need you to tell me what's going down
Down down down down da down down down
Down down down down da down down down

I'm standing alone
I'm watching you all
I'm seeing you sinking
I'm standing alone
You're weighing the gold
I'm watching you sinking

Fool's gold

These boots weren't made for walking
The Marquis de Sade never made no boots like these

Gold's just around the corner
Breakdown's coming up round the bend

Sometimes you have to try to get along dear
I know the truth and I know what you're thinking

Down down down down da down down down

I'm standing alone
I'm watching you all
I'm seeing you sinking
I'm standing alone
You're weighing the gold
I'm watching you sinking
Fool's gold
Fool's gold

I'm standing alone
I'm watching you all
I'm seeing you sinking
I'm standing alone
You're weighing the gold
I'm watching you sinking

Fool's gold

Take me to the top

Here comes the wise man
And there goes the fool
Can you see the burned out world that he is living in
I don't need to look for the rules

Here comes the donkey
Chained to a ten ton plough
He'll never make that hill in a million years
Whip crack, beat him down

He loves his brother he'd sell him for a fistful of gold
But he needs a slave for his vision of the promised land
No I don't believe a word

Take me any way the wind blows
You'll never know just what you want to do
Or where you wanna go I think it's time
That you found what the world is waiting for
I think it's time to get real

Here comes the wise man
And there goes the fool
Can you see the burned out world that he is living in
I don't need to look for the rules

He loves his brother he'd sell him for a fistful of gold
But he needs a slave for his vision of the promised land
No I don't believe a word

Take me any way the wind blows
You'll never know just what you want to do
Or where you wanna go I think it's time
That you found what the world is waiting for
I think it's time to get real

Anytime you want it, then it's there
All you gotta do is stop me
On the corner and ask
Say hey, you don't live today
Stop the world
Stop the world
I'm getting off

I'm getting off
Can't get enough
I'm getting off

Take me to the top

Don't count your chickens 'cause they're never gonna hatch
You can't catch a monkey with a shotgun and a sack
'Cause you're too dull, baby
You can't see the wood for the trees
'Cause you're too slow, baby
You just couldn't get off your knees

Don't count your chickens 'cause they're never gonna hatch
You can't catch your monkey with a shovel and a sack
'Cause you're too dull, baby
You can't see the wood for the trees
'Cause you're too slow, baby
You just couldn't get off your knees

I can see the love and the hate in your eyes
Penny for the thoughts behind the disguise
What you gonna do and what you gonna say?
I'm not the only one believing there's an easier way

It doesn't pay to disorientate me
It doesn't cost to be someone
I am the vine
And you are the branches

Don't count your chickens 'cause they're never gonna hatch
You can't catch a monkey with a shotgun and a sack
'Cause you're too dull, baby
You can't see the wood for the trees
'Cause you're too slow, baby
You just couldn't get off your knees

I can see the love and the hate in your eyes
Heading for the thoughts behind your disguise
What you gonna do and what you gonna say?
I'm not the only one believing there's an easier way

What'you gonna do with the rest of your life
Heading for the thoughts behind your disguise
What'you gonna do with the rest of your life
Heading for the thoughts behind your disguise
What'you gonna do with the rest of your life
Heading for the thoughts behind your disguise

Take me to the top

Any time you want me
Any time at all
Any time you need me
All you gotta do is call

Any time you want me
Any time at all
Any time you need me
All you gotta do is call

I'm no dog, I'm a dolphin
I just don't live in the sea
You feel my flow and you flood my brain
Show me a vision you wild apparition
And sink to the depths of your soul

One love, we don't need another love
One love, one heart and one soul
You can have it all
Isn't it easy?

Any time you want me
Any time at all
Any time you need me
All you gotta do is call

You put me one step clear of the chain gang
And two miles over the line
All the scenes I saw left me wanting more
Show me a vision you wild apparition
And sink to the depths of your soul

One love, we don't need another love
One love, one heart and one soul
Your fruit's in season
And these feet fall surely sound
And what goes up must come down
Turns into dust or turns into stone
