D'You Know What I Mean?

7:42

MIDI

Lyrics

Step off the train all alone at dawn
Back into the hole where I was born
The sun in the sky never raised an eye to me
The blood on the trax and must be mine
The Fool On The Hill and I Feel Fine
Don't look back cos you know what you might see

Look into the wall of my mind's eye
I think I know, but I don't know why
The questions are the answers you might need
Coming in a mess going out in style
I ain't good-looking but I'm someone's child
No-one can give me the air that's mine to breathe

I met my maker
I made him cry
And on my shoulder he asked me why
His people won't fly through the storm
I said "Listen up man, they don't even know you're born"

All my people right here, right now
D'You Know What I Mean?
All my people right here, right now
D'You Know What I Mean?
All my people right here, right now
D'You Know What I Mean?
Yeah, yeah

I don't really care for what you believe
So open up your fist or you won't receive
The thoughts and the words of every man you'll need
Get up off the floor and believe in life
No-one's ever gonna ever ask you twice
Get on the bus and bring it on home to me

 

My Big Mouth

5:02

Lyrics

Every body knows
But no one's saying nothing
It was a sound so very loud
That no-one can hear
I've got something in my shoes
It's keeping me from walking
Down a long and winding road
Back home to you

And round this town you've ceased to be
That's what you got for sleeping with the enemy
Where angels fly you won't play
So guess who's going to take the blame for...

My big mouth, and my big name
I put on my shoes while I'm walking
Slowly down the hall of fame
Into my big mouth, you could fly a plane
I put on my shoes while I'm walking
Slowly down the hall of fame
Slowly down the hall of fame

I ain't never spoke to God
And I ain't never been to heaven
But you assumed I knew the way
Even though the map was given
And as you look into the eyes
Of a bloody cold assassin
It's only then you'll realise
With who's love you have been messin'

And round this town you've ceased to be
That's what you got for sleeping with the enemy
Where angels fly you won't play
So guess who's going to take the blame for...

My big mouth, and my big name
I'll put on my shoes while I'm walking
Slowly down the hall of fame
Into my big mouth, yeah you could fly a plane
I'll put on my shoes while I'm walking
Slowly down the hall of fame
Slowly down the hall of fame

 

Magic Pie

7:19

Lyrics

An extra-ordinary guy
Can never have an ordinary day.
He might live the long goodbye
But that is not for me to say.
I dig his friends, I dig his shoes
He is just a child with nothing to lose
But his mind
His mind

They are sleeping while they dream
And then they want to be adored.
Cause they who don't say what they mean
Will live and die by their own sword.
I dig their friends; I dig their shoes
They are like a child with nothing to lose
In their minds, yeah their mind

But I'll have my way
In my own time
I'll have my say
My star will shine

Cos you see me I've got my magic pie
Think of me yeah that was me I was that passer by
I've been and now I've gone

There are but a thousand days preparing for a thousand years
Many minds to educate the people who have disappeared
D'you dig my friends? D'you dig my shoes
I am like a child with nothing to lose in my mind
Yeah, my mind

We'll have our way
In our own time
And we'll have our say
'Cos my star's gonna shine

 

Stand By Me

5:56

MIDI

Lyrics

Made a meal and threw it up on Sunday, I've
Gotta lot of things to learn
Said I would and I'll be leaving one day
Before my heart starts to burn

So what's the matter with you?
Sing me something new... don't you know
The cold and wind and rain don't know
They only seem to come and go away

Times are hard when things have got no meaning, 'n' I've
Found a key upon the floor
Maybe you and I will not believe in the things we find
Behind the door

Stand by me - nobody knows, the way it's gonna be
Stand by me - nobody knows, the way it's gonna be
Stand by me - nobody knows, the way it's gonna be
Yeah, nobody knows, the way it's gonna be.

If you're leaving will you take me with you
I'm tired of talking on my phone
There is one thing I can never give you
My heart can never be you home

 

I Hope, I Think, I Know

4:22

Lyrics

They're trying hard to put me in my place,
And that is why I gotta keep running.
The future's mine and it's no disgrace,
Cos in the end the past means nothing

You tell me I'm free then you tie me down
And from my chains I think it's a pity
What did it cost you to wear my crown
You don't like it so why don't you admit it?

I feel a little down today?
And I ain't got much to say?
But you're gonna miss me when I'm not there
You know I don't care, you know I don't care

As we beg and steal and borrow
Life is hit and miss and this
I hope, I think, I know
If I ever hear the names you call,
And if I stumble catch me when I fall,
Cos baby after all, you'll never forget my name

You tried hard to put me in my place,
And that is why I gotta keep running.
The future's mine and it's your disgrace,
cos in the end your life means nothing.

D'you feel a little down today?
Bet you ain't got much to say?
Who's gonna miss you when your not there
You know I don't care, you know we don't care

As we beg and steal and borrow
Life is hit and miss and this
I hope, I think, I know
If I ever hear the names you call,
And if I stumble catch me when I fall,
Cos baby after all, you'll never forget my name

 

The Girl In The Dirty Shirt

5:49

Lyrics

If I may be so bold that I just say something,
Come and make me my day.
The clouds around your soul don't gather there for nothing,
I can chase them all away

Why d'you need a reason for to feel happy?
Or shining for the rest of the world.
Give me just a smile and would you make it snappy,
Get your shit together girl

You've got a feeling lost inside, it just won't let you go.
Your life is sneaking up behind, it just won't let you go,
No it just won't let you go.
Is what I'm trying to say.

Is would you maybe
Come dancing with me
Cause to me it doesn't matter if your hopes and dreams are shattered.
And you say something,
You make me beleive
In a girl who wears a dirty shirt,
She knows exactly what she's worth,
She knows exactly what she's worth to me.
That I can see, I can see.

If you ever find yourself inside a bubble
You gotta make your own way home
You can call me anytime you're seeing double
Now you know you're not alone

You've got a feeling lost inside, it just won't let you go.
Your life is sneaking up behind, it just won't let you go,
No it just won't let you go.
Is what I'm trying to say.

Is would you maybe
Come dancing with me
Cause to me it doesn't matter if your hopes and dreams are shattered.
When you say something,
You make me beleive
In a girl who wears a dirty shirt,
She knows exactly what she's worth.

Maybe she'll come dancing with me
Cause to me it doesn't matter if her hopes and dreams are shattered.
When she says something,
She'll make me believe
In a girl who wears a dirty shirt,

She knows exactly what she's worth to me.
She knows exactly what she's worth to me.
She knows exactly what she's worth to me.
She knows exactly what she's worth to me.
Knows exactly what she's worth to me.
You know I see.
You know I see.
You know I see.
You know I see.

 

Fade In-Out

6:52

Lyrics

Get on the rollercoaster, the fair's in town today,
Y'gotta be bad enough to beat the brave.
So get on the helter skelter, bowl into the fray,
Y'gotta be bad enough to beat the brave.

You fade in-out.
You fade in-out.
Without a doubt.
And I don't see no shine,
Today is just a daydream,
Tommorow we'll be cast away.

Coming out of nowhere, singing rhapsody,
Y'gotta be bad enough to wanna be.
Sitting upside a high chair with the devils refugee,
Is gonna be blinded by the light that follows me.

She fade in-out.
She fade in-out.
Without a doubt.
And I don't see no shine,
Today is just a daydream,
Tommorow we'll be cast away.

[Ahhhhhhhh!]

We're fade in-out.
We're fade in-out.
Without a doubt.
And I don't see no shine,
Today is just a daydream,
Tommorow she'll be cast away.

So get on the rollercoaster, the fair's in town today,
Y'gotta be bad enough to beat the brave.
So get on the helter skelter, step into the fray,
Y'gotta be bad enough to beat the brave.

You fade in-out.
You fade in-out.
You fade in-out.
You're fade in-out.

 

Don't Go Away

4:48

Tab

Lyrics

A cold & frosty morning, there's not a lot to say,
About the things caught in my mind,
And as the day was dawning, my plane flew away,
With all the things caught in my mind.

And I wanna be there when you're coming down,
And I wanna be there when you hit the ground.

So don't go away, say what you say,
Say that you'll stay, forever and a day,
In the time of my life.
Cause I need more time, yes I need more time,
Just to make things right.

Damn my situation, and the games I have to play
With all the things caught in my mind,
Damn my education, I can't find the words to say
About the things caught in my mind.

And I wanna be there when you're coming down,
And I wanna be there when you hit the ground.

So don't go away, say what you say,
Say that you'll stay, forever and a day,
In the time of my life.
Cause I need more time, yes I need more time,
Just to make things right.

Me and you, what's going on?
All we seem to know is how to show
The feelings that are wrong.

So don't go away, say what you say,
Say that you'll stay, forever and a day,
In the time of my life.
Cause I need more time, yes I need more time,
Just to make things right.

So don't go away, say what you say,
Say that you'll stay, forever and a day,
In the time of my life.
Cause I need more time, yes I need more time,
Just to make things right.

Yes I need more time
Just to make things right.
Yes I need more time
Just to make things right.
So don't go away.

 

Be Here Now

5:13

Lyrics

Wash your face in the morning sun
Flash your pan at the song that I'm singing
Touch down bass living on the run
Make no sweat of the hole you're digging

Wrap up cold when it's warm outside
Your shit jokes remind me of Digsy's
Be my magic carpet ride
Fly me down to capital city in the sun

Kickin' up a storm from the day I was born
Sing a song for me one from Let It Be
Open up yer eyes, get a grip of yerself inside
You betcha!

 

All Around The World

9:20

MIDI

Lyrics

It's a bit early in the midnight hour for me
To go through all the things that I want to be
I don't believe in everything I see
Y'know I'm blind so why d'you disagree

So take me away cos I just don't want to stay
And the lies you make me say
Are getting deeper everyday
These are crazy days but they make me shine
Time keeps rolling by

All around the world, you've got to spread the word
Tell them what you heard
We're gonna make a better day
All around the world, you've got to spread the word
Tell them what you heard
You know it's gonna be O.K.

So what you gonna do when the walls come falling down?
You never move you never make a sound
So when you gonna swim when the riches that you found?
If you're lost at sea, I hope that you've drowned

 

Its Gettin' Better (Man!!)

6:59

Lyrics

Say something,
Shout it from the rooftops of your head.
Make it sort of mean something,
Make me understand or I'll forget.
The people here on life's beaches
Wish upon the waves that hide the sand.
Let them know that life teaches
You to build a caslte in your hand.

Maybe the songs that we sing are wrong,
Maybe the dreams that we dream are gone,
So bring it on home that it won't be long.

It's gettin' better man.
Hey what was that you said to me?
Just say the word and I'd be free.
And when the stars are shining bright,
We're gettin' better man!
And crashing in upon a wave,
It's calling out beyond the grave.
And we're fire in the sky,
It's gettin' better man!

Build something
Build a better place and call it home.
Even if it means nothing
You'll never ever feel that you're alone.

Maybe the songs that we sing are wrong,
Maybe the dreams that we dream are gone,
So bring it on home that it won't be long.

It's gettin' better man.
Hey what was that you said to me?
Just say the word and I'd be free.
And when the stars are shining bright,
We're gettin' better man!
And crashing in upon a wave,
It's calling out beyond the grave.
And we're fire in the sky,
It's gettin' better man!


It's gettin' better now.
Hey what was that you said to me?
You told me one day I'd be free.
And when the fire's burning bright,
I'm gettin' better man!
And crashing in upon a wave,
It's calling out beyond the grave.
And when the stars are in the sky,
We're gettin' better man!

Yeah, we're gettin' better man.
Yeah, we're gettin' better man.
Yeah, we're gettin' better man.
Yeah, we're gettin' better man.
