Catch me if you can
I won't record no backhander
Ask me who I am
Tell me you're the part commander

Elvis should play ska
Elvis should play ska

Take it as it comes
Doesn't matter what the song says
Let them have their fun
Don't fight them with your own applauses

Elvis should play ska
Elvis should play ska

Catch me if you can
Don't you know just what your aim is
For every junior band
I will ask you whose your name is

Elvis should play ska
Elvis should play ska

So go and look for clues
With the help of your dead tattoos
They don't want your issues
Our love is their prime objective

Elvis should play ska
Elvis should play ska

About ____________should  have mattered (?)
I want this girl to stay, but all she wants is shelter
I need her love today, but she needs me to help her

I have a plan
I have a plan

Through my experience I really should be wiser
The ____________should not be telling my song (?)
When does her innocence and just what is inside her

I have a plan
I have a plan

Julie Julie  - But be good to me
Julie Julie  - Like a good girl should be
Julie Julie  - But be good to me
Heaven knows just what goes on inside her

About________________________ suggestions (?)
I usually see through girls but Julie's an exception
Cause when I follow her she changes her direction

I have a plan
I have a plan

Well Julie's kinda sweet - in fact she is a charmer
But she's untouchable cause she wears plated armor
But I hope - I hope that no one comes to harm her

Ahh -  no one
Ahh -  no one

Julie Julie - But be good to me
Julie Julie - Like a good girl should be
Julie Julie - But be good to me
Heaven knows just what goes on inside her head

Hey, hey, hey

I've been waiting here too long
Things are getting to a stand-still
Nothing's right - Everything's wrong
And I've just about had my fill

Love that is bad (Love that is bad)
Love that is bad (Is just a no no)
Love that is bad (Love that is bad)
Love that is bad (Is just a no no)

Now the time is getting near
And it's time for me to go go
Question me but I'm sincere
Love that's bad is just a no no

Love that is bad (Love that is bad)
Love that is bad (Is just a no no)
Love that is bad (Love that is bad)
Love that is bad (Is just a no no)

There are many things I could say to you
(Say to you)
Yeah but what good would they do
(What would they do)
You could say that I aint got nothing to lose
(Nothing to lose)
But that ain't the truth, no
That ain't the truth

I been waiting here too long
Things are getting to a stand-still
Nothing's right, everything's wrong
And I've just about had my fill

Love that is bad (Love that is bad)
Love that is bad (Is just a no no)
Love that is bad (Love that is bad)
Love that is bad (Is just a no no)

2 - 3 - 4!

I'm looking to the right and to the left searching each and every direction
Where am I gonna find her
Looking in the east and in the west - open to all suggestions
Is there anyone who cares

Have you ever met a day when it seems like no one wants to know ya
Ever met a day when it seems like no one wants to know ya
Ever met a day when it seems like no one wants to know ya

I'm looking for a light and for a home wishing there was someone I could talk to
But still I see no answer
All I mean is that I'm all alone, I'm sure that anyone will do
No it - No him - No her

Have you ever met a day when it seems like no one wants to know ya
Ever met a day when it seems like no one wants to know ya
Ever met a day when it seems like no one wants to know ya

So,

I'm looking to the right and to the left searching each and every direction
Where am I gonna find her
Looking in the east and in the west, open to all suggestions
Is there anyone out there

Have you ever met a day when it seems like no one wants to know ya
Ever met a day when it seems like no one wants to know ya
Ever met a day when it seems like no one wants to know ya
 

I always walk on the other side of the street
And I never shake hands with the people I meet
And they always dispute the things I know
Guess I'd like to tell them where to go!

Just stop pushing, stop searching me
To go!
There's no God, there's no church in me
To go!
There's an evil that lurks in me - can't you see?

I always comb my hair the other way
And I'm always obscure in the things I say
There's a pile of opinions in my brain
They're so different but they sound the same

Why______was meant to be (the same) (?)
I'm not a _______ it's plain to see (the same) (?)
Paranoia is what I mean - can't you see

Why you always say it's so unusual
Why you always say it's strange
Why I'm always acting like a fool
You know I'm never ever acting my age
Acting my age

I don't drink - don't smoke - don't shave
But I'm told I'm going through a phase
And I'm told I'm thinking like a kid
Better see the world for what it is!

Cos if you want it then you'll receive (it is!)
All the hatred that's locked in me (it is!)
Don't forget that you hold the key - wait and see

Why you always say it's so unusual
why you always say it's strange (strange)
why I'm always acting like a fool
You know I'm never ever acting my age
Acting my age

I always walk on the other side of the street
And I never shake hands with the people I meet
And they always dispute the things I know
Guess I'd like to tell them where to go!

Just stop pushing, stop searching me (to go!)
There's no God, there's no church in me (to go!)
There's an evil that lurks in me - can't you see? (can't you see?)

Why you always say it's so unusual
why you always say it's strange (strange)
why I'm always acting like a fool
You know I'm never ever acting my age
Acting my age

You always say it's so unusual
You always say it's strange (strange)
Why I'm always acting like a fool
You know I'm never, ever acting my age
I'm never ever acting my age
I'm never - never - never acting my age

My ideas of love are just a thing that you buy
But you tell me it's price percent - I don't know why
I'm shouting at you, won't you lend me a hand
You stare at me - I don't understand because I don't know what I've done to you

I open my eyes - you put forward a hand
You wanna take not give - I put my head in the sand
You ticked me off - pushed me around
You shout at me - I don't hear a sound because confusion takes my sense away

I'm sick and tired of you telling me what to be (oh)
Sick and tired - aren't you ever gonna let me be (oh)
Sick and tired - do I have to get on my knees (oh)
Sick and tired that I never know what is free

I have these ideas - formations in my mind
I'd like to tell them to you but you ain't got the time
You see what you like, are you living a lie
Is it something I said?
Oh - and I can't cry because you say I've got to be a man

I open my eyes - you put forward a hand
You wanna take not give
I put my head in the sand
You ticked me off - pushed me around
You shout at me
I don't hear a sound because confusion takes my sense away

I'm sick and tired of you telling me what to be (oh)
Sick and tired - aren't you ever gonna let me be (oh)
Sick and tired - do I have to get on my knees (oh)
Sick and tired that I never know what is free

Okay!

I'm sick and tired of you telling me what to be (oh)
Sick and tired - aren't you ever gonna let me be (oh)
Sick and tired - do I have to get on my knees (oh)
Sick and tired that I never know what is free

Is there no answer to my question
It's a matter of the heart
I have uncomfortable sensations
Tearing me apart - tearing me apart

Don't you see it's only comfort
That I'm seeking here and now
Acting out - I'm using symbols
Turn the music loud - Turn the music loud

You can get by by dancing all night
If it's really what you must do
You can get by by dancing all night
Dancing nights will pull you through

Yet through all this inner feeling
There is one thing I must know
Is everything in view with meaning
Makes me wanna grow - makes me wanna grow

It's the kinda thing that makes me
Spell these words out in a song
It's so kind of you to tell me
Everything is wrong - Everything is wrong

You can get by by dancing all night
If it's really what you must do
You can get by by dancing all night
Dancing nights will pull you through

All night through
I've been nothing other than bad luck
Since you crept into my life
Come on let me go
Come on let me be me - let me be me

You can get by by dancing all night
If it's really what you must do
You can get by by dancing all night
Dancing nights will pull you through

You can get by by dancing all night
If it's really what you must do
You can get by by dancing all night
Dancing nights will pull you through

All night through...

You get your money
You pay your rent
One day you're happy
The next day you're spent

You live your life in an impossible way
But all the same is the way you're gonna stay
You say you're happy - as much as it means
You're always dreaming but you ain't got no dreams
You won't change - you won't change

Have you no ambition
Have you no ambition
Have you no ambition
Have you no ambition

You got your work - come on stay away
You never think of how you've beaten the day
And though you're lacking in responsibility
It doesn't matter cos you mean so much to me
Each day - as a matter of fact
You're so immune to the things that you lack
You won't change - you won't change

Have you no ambition
Have you no ambition
Have you no ambition
Have you no ambition

And I would really like to see ya
And I would really like to be with ya - Yeah!
People don't make it easy
Tell me are your folks and I agreeing

Bad news  - I only played
You lose  - she gets her way
Strange light  - you are so sharp
Sharp bite  - cuts in white spark
Loop hole  - sees through again
Hard soul  - right in the end
And away - and away

Have you no ambition

When I was young - my mama
She used to put me down
She told me what to do
She pushed me around

She was right and I was wrong
She was old and I was young

When I was young - my mama
She put me in a trance
I did just what she said
I didn't stand a chance

She was right and I was wrong
She was old and I was young
And there was only one thing she could say

Shut up - Shut up
You naughty boy
Shut up - Shut up
You naughty boy

When I was young my mama
She did not understand
Me want me be a boy
She want me be a man

She was right and I was wrong
She was old and I was young

When I was young my mama
Well - she conditioned me
Always stick by the rules
Life wasn't too easy

She was right and I was wrong
She was old and I was young
And there's only one thing she could say

Shut up - Shut up
You naughty boy
Shut up - Shut up
You naughty boy

Now I am older I have
I have kids of my own
I tell them what to do
I don't leave them alone

I am right and they are wrong
I am old and they are young

Now I am older I can
Make up for all I've lost
They do just what I say
They know that I'm the boss

I am right and they are wrong
They are small and I am strong
And there's only one thing I can say

Shut up - Shut up - you naughty boy
Shut up - Shut up - you naughty boy, boy, boy - Shut up
 

It's the same old story
Each and everywhere I go
Trying hard to be someone
To be someone that I don't know

An almost normal reaction
Would be simply to run and hide
Yes but what would that tell you
About the hurts that lay deep inside

Why can't we live as one together
Why can't we live as one forever and forever

Bad dreams - bad dreams
Carry me up in clouds - carry me up in clouds
Bad dreams - bad dreams
Carry me up in clouds - carry me up in clouds

It's the same old story
One that I've told for many years
All this struggling and fighting
It's so hard to keep back the tears

Life is just a bad dream
Only hope that soon I'll wake
Put an end to these nightmares
It's for my night for heaven's sake

Why can't we live as one together
Why can't we live as one forever and forever

Bad dreams - bad dreams
Carry me up in clouds - carry me up in clouds
Bad dreams - bad dreams
Carry me up in clouds - carry me up in clouds

Why can't we live as one together
Why can't we live as one forever and forever

Bad dreams - bad dreams
Carry me up in clouds - carry me up in clouds
Bad dreams - bad dreams
Carry me up in clouds - carry me up in clouds
Bad dreams - bad dreams
Carry me up in clouds - carry me up in clouds
Bad dreams - bad dreams
Carry me up in clouds - carry me up in clouds

It's the same old story
Each and everywhere I go...

Well - I'm calling to you but you
You don't wanna know
There's a couple in the folk room but they
They won't let me go

Well - I see right through you but it
It doesn't show
I wanna know the answers but you
You won't let me know

Oh No - I wanna know Oh Oh
That I gotta go Oh Oh - Oh No

Not fit for society well
Well that's what I'm told
Another undesirable
Nothing left to hold
Well I see right through you and I
I won't get old
I won't live my life for you
To do what I'm told

Oh No - I wanna know Oh Oh
That I gotta go Oh Oh - Oh No
