Cigarettes & Alcohol

Lyrics

Is it my imagination
Or have I finally found something worth living for?
I was looking for some action
But all I found was cigarettes and alcohol
You could wait for a lifetime
To spend your days in the sunshine
You might as well do the white line
Cos when it comes on top...

You gotta make it happen!

Is it worth the aggravation
To find yourself a job when there's nothing worth working for?
It's a crazy situation
But all I need are cigarettes and alcohol!

You could wait for a lifetime
To spend your days in the sunshine
You might as well do the white line
Cos when it comes on top...

You gotta make it happen!

Lyrics

I am he and you are he and you are me and we are all together
See how they run like pigs from gun, see how they fly, I'm cryin'

Sitting on a cornflake, I'm waiting for the van to come
Corporation tee-shirts, stupid bloody Tuesday,
Man, you've been a naughty boy, you let your face grow long

I am the Eggman, we are the Eggmen, I am the Walrus,
Goo goo g' joob

Mister City Policeman sitting, pretty little policemen in a row
See how they fly like Lucy in the Sky, see how they run, I'm cryin'
I'm cry......, I'm cryin', I'm cry........

Yellow matter custard, dripping from a dead dog's eye
Crabalocker fish wife, pornographic priestress,
Man you've been a naughty girl you let your knickers down

But I am the Eggman, we are the Eggmen, I am the Walrus,
Goo goo g' joob, g' goo goo g' joob

Sitting in an English garden waiting for the sun
If the sun don't come you get your tan from standing in the english rain

I am the Eggman, we are the Eggmen, I am the Walrus
Goo goo g' joob, g' goo goo g' joob

Experts textperts choking smokers, don't you think the joker laughs at you
See how they spy like pigs in the sky, see how they snide, I'm cryin'

Semolina Pilchard, climbing up the Eiffel Tower
Element'ry penguins singing Hare Krishna,
Man, you should've seen him kicking Edgar Allen Poe

I am the Eggman, we are the Eggmen, I am the Walrus
Goo goo g' joob, g' goo goo g' joob
Goo goo g' joob, g' goo goo g' joob
G' goo...

Lyrics

Listen up what's the time said today
I'm gonna speak my mind
Take me up to the top of the world
I wanna see my crime

Day by day
There's a man in a suit
Who's gonna make you pay
For the thoughts
That you think and the words
They won't let you say

One fine day
Gonna leave you all behind
It wouldn't be so bad
If I had more time

Sailing down a river alone
I've been trying to find
My way back home
But I don't believe in magic
Life is automatic - but I don't mind being on my own
No, I don't mind being on my own

(Repeat from top)

Sailing down a river alone
I've been trying to find
My way back home
But I don't believe in magic
Life is automatic
But I don't mind being on my own
I said that I don't mind
Being on my own
No, I don't mind being on my own
I said I don't mind being on my own

Lyrics

When I was young
I thought I had my own key
I knew exactly what I wanted to be
Now I'm sure
You've boarded up every door
Lived in a bubble
Days were never ending
Was not concerned
About what life was sending
Fantasy was real
Now I know much
About the way I feel

I'll paint you the picture
'Cause I don't think you live round here no more
I've never even seen
The key to the door
We only get what we will settle for

While we're living
The dreams we have as children
Fade away
While we're living
The dreams we have as children
Fade away
While we're living
The dreams we have as children
Fade away, away, away
They fade away, away, away

Now my life has turned
Another corner
I think it's only best
That I should warn you
Dream it while you can
Maybe someday
I'll make you understand

I'll paint you the picture
'Cause I don't think you live round here no more
I've never even seen
The key to the door
We only get what we will settle for

While we're living
The dreams we have as children
Fade away
While we're living
The dreams we have as children
Fade away
While we're living
The dreams we have as children
Fade away
They fade away, away, away
Fade away, away, away
