Elemental
(1993)
Elemental
This race is already run
Get off your horse, get on this
train
Welcome to the real world
I said " Welcome to the real world
"
Are we rushing like the wind
Naked out and naked in
Welcome to the free world
I said " Welcome to the me world
"
Are we rushing like the wind
Put your lovin' arms around
Did you lose your faith in God,
no
Does your conscience always get
you down
Fall to pieces, rough and tumble
Does your conscience always get
you down
These days it's all the mind
It's Elemental
Don't say your up when your down
It's Elemental
Put your lovin' arms around
This your new year's resolution
Put your lovin'arms around
Nothing doing resolution
Put your lovin' arms around
Take another leap in the dark
With a humble heart
Do yourself some good
What did you become
Patience, be sure
Baby, baby
These days it's all the mind
It's Elemental
Don't say your up when your down
It's Elemental
Cold
The coldest shoulder cast in metal
Frozen to the bone
To rely on hook, line and sinker
What a sinker
Sinking like a stone
You'd be better off alone
She saw me on the television underneath
the sun
Thought that I was warm like mother,
lover, brother
Brother, she was wrong
Me, I don't long to belong
Cold, been excommunicated cos I'm
cold
My temperature's been rated and
I'm cold
Bring to me my big old sweater
Nothing more will make me better
I met her on Monday and my heart
did nothing new
Seems she thought of me as some
mystic, fatalistic, mystical guru
Me, I haven't got a clue
But floating on a magic carpet
high above the earth
You can see the world like a Buddha,
bread and Buddha
Bigger than you hurt
Don't you know that love is work
Cold, no heat on the horizon guess
I'm cold
And Capricorn is rising yes I'm
cold
Listened to my old Nockles
Hoped that it would warm the cockles
You can't fight the fear you can't,
this is the road you're on
You don't belong to me you don't
belong to any one
Your reputation lies not in your
eyes, but those who dare
Will bite the hand that feeds when
it don't meet your needs When you got
blood to bleed, you got a life
to lead
In the flood with my blood I can hold you
Cold, been excommunicated cos I'm
cold
My temperature's been rated and
I'm cold
Bring to me my big old sweater
Nothing more will make me better
Cold, no heat on the horizon guess
I'm cold
There'll be no comprimising, cold,
cool, cold
Stone cold
Stone cold
Cold
Cold
Cold
Break It Down Again
So those are my dreams
And these are my eyes
Stand tall like a man
Head a strong like a horse
When it's all mixed up
Better break it down
In the world of secrets
In the world of sound
It's in the way you're always hiding
from the light
See for yourself you have been
sitting on a time bomb
No revolution maybe someone somewhere
else
Could show you something new about
you and your inner song
And all the love and all the love
in the world
Won't stop the rain from falling
Waste seeping underground
I want to break it down
Break it down again
So these are my schemes
And these are my plans
Hot tips for the boys
Fresh news from the force
When it's all mixed up
Better break it down
In the world of silence
In the world of sound
"No sleep for dreaming" say the
architects of life
Big bouncing babies, bread and
butter can I have a slice
They make no mention of the beauty
of decay
Blue, yellow, pink umbrella save
it for a rainy day
And all the love and all the love
in the world
Won't stop the rain from falling
Waste seeping underground
I want to break it down
Horsin' around
Pray to power
Play to the crowd with your big
hit sound
And they won't simmer won't simmer,
won't simmer down
Play to the crowd
Play to the crowd
Play yeah yeah
It's in the way you're always hiding
from the light
Fast off to heaven just like Moses
on a motorbike
No revolution maybe someone somewhere
else
Could show you something new to
help you
With the ups and downs
I want to break it down
Break it down again
Break it down again
No more sleepy dreaming
No more building up
It is time to dissolve
Break it down it again
No more sleepy dreaming
Mr. Pessimist
Time will swallow
Your precious time
Like magic create the future
What makes man so fickle
Who put the daggers in those eyes
Was it to learn
Through dark days of struggle
Was it to burn
To burst all our bubbles
Thunder and rain
Well the cynicle flame will it
heat, stick and blister
Thunder and rain
Evangelistic brother
Should be banging a tambourine
Go wash your hands and fingers
Till your mind is clean
Was it your fate
To sleep like a normal
Time and decay
No man is immortal
Thunder and rain
Boredom and pain lit the cynical
flame
Will it heat stick and blister
Thunder and rain
Still try to resist the pessimist
The pessimist no no
And these things I find
In the back of my mind
Where time lasts forever
I get all mixed
Think I'm all mankind
Listen Mr Pessimister
With your Catholic taste
Oh listen Mr Pessimister Pessimister
We do not relate
Listen Mr Pessimister, Pessimister,
Pessimister
Mr Pessimister
Dog's A Best Friend's Dog
Shame
Dog shame
I know what's wrong
Man's too old and wise
Bring in the dog
Turn on
Down the mountain rescue
Slip and slide when sunny
Small cat better move along
Or this bitch could do harm, baby
Straight as an arrow
I'm walking the dog
Three is a crowd
Two is a dog and me playing
(What's he saying)
Free as a cloud
No one ever really knew you
Make clear your illusion no, no,
no, no
Some dreams you dream you alone
You thank Christ you're coming
home
Better better give the dog a bone
Go go go go chew chew chew chew
Some dreams you dream alone
Go get a life and ease the pain
Dog's a best friend's dog
Dog's a best friend's dog
Word, speech, blurred, bleached
Tell Mr Godot I'm walking the dog
Walking the dog
Some dreams you dream you alone
You thank Christ you're coming
home
Better better give the dog a bone
Go go go go chew chew chew chew
Some dreams you dream alone
Go get a life and ease the pain
Dog's a best friend's dog
Dog's a best friend's dog
Fish Out Of Water
You always said you were the
compassionate
one
But now you're laughing at the
sun
With all your high class friends
you think you've got it made
The only thing you made was that
tanned look on your face
With all your cigarettes and fancy
cars
You ain't a clue who or what you
are
You're dreaming your life away
Fish out of water
Go swim in the tide today
Fish out of water
We used to sit and talk about primal
scream
To exorsice our past was our adolescent
dream
But now it's sink or swim since
your memory fails
Now in Neptune's kitchen you will
be food for killer whales
And on the crucifix his mother
made
Hangs one more martyr to the hit
parade
You're dreaming you're life away
Fish out of water
Go swim in the tide today
Fish out of water
You're dreaming you're life away
Fish out of water
Go swim in the tide today
Fish out of water
Brian Wilson Said
My life, nothing was easy till now
Hope like the morning will paint
the dawn
More than ordinary ( deep down
)
Make it more than merry ( deep
down )
Take me to the jamboree ( deep
down )
And shine a light on me
Draw back the curtains and smile
Everything's wow
Girls are ten penny Janet, Joy and
Jenny, Judy, Joan and Jackie G
Hear me now I warn you
Girls from California break your
heart and set you free
My life
Shame to rely but I swear it's the
best I can do
Like a flame, like an i with a
dot I am not you
Call me guilty I swear I'm a man
who can fly ( deep down )
I keep coming back, I'll get back
to you
My life, nothing was easy till now
Goodnight Song
Here on the stage
The time has come
With the strains of "Be my angel"
of rock in 2 - 4
Time may keep alive that old swang
song
That we've been playing forever
Till the time maybe right to say
goodbye
My voice is aching, I'm tongue
tired
And the sounds we are making are
so uninspired
Goodnight song, played so wrong
Blame the crowd, they scream so
loud
so long
Get some honesty
Take the best of me and then the
rest let go
In every situation with it's tireless
rage
Step outside your cage and let
the real fool show
I should have stayed round to break
the ice
I thought about it once or twice
But nothing ever changes unless
there's some pain
And our...
Goodnight song, played so wrong
Blame the crowd, they scream so
loud
so long
Goodnight song, played so wrong
Blame the crowd, they scream so
loud
so long
