Baby Shambles : Down in Albion
Lyrics
1. LA BELLE ET LA BÊTE
I'll tell you a story but you won't listen
It's about a nightmare steeped in tradition
It's the story of a coked-up pansy
Who spent his nights in a flights of fancy
Met two fellas over gin and mixers
They talked for a while he soon got the picture
One was a souped up Soho mincer
The other was a pikey with a knowledge for scriptures
Then the conversation turned evil
Talked, talked and talked about people
Why did you do it to so many people?
Stumble left out of the boozer
... (?)
... another life (?)
... looking alright (?)
That girls out way ahead of the game
Way ahead of the game
Way ahead of the game
You've turned your back upon her
One too many times
Spent all her hard earned money
Getting high she sang
(Kate Moss)
Is she more beautiful, is she more beautiful
Is she more beautiful than me?
Is she more beautiful, is she more beautiful
Is she more beautiful than me?
She's La Belle Et La Bete at the ball
She's La Belle Et La Bete at the ball
She's La Belle Et La Bete at the ball
... (?)
You've turned your back upon her
One too many times
Spent all her hard earned money
Just getting high... she sang
(Kate Moss)
Is she more beautiful, is she more beautiful
Is she more beautiful than me?
Is she more beautiful, is she more beautiful
Is she more beautiful than me?
Is she more beautiful, is she more beautiful
Is she more beautiful than she?
I'll tell you a story but you won't listen
It's about a nightmare steeped in tradition
It's the story of a coked-up pansy
Who spent his nights in a flights of fancy
Met two fellas over gin and mixers
They talked for a while he soon got the picture
One was a souped up Soho mincer
The other was a pikey with a knowledge for scriptures
Then the conversation turned evil
Talked and talked and talked about people
Why did you do it to so many people?
That girls out way ahead of the game
Way ahead of the game
Way ahead of the game
Way ahead of the game
Way ahead of the game
You've turned your back upon her
One too many times
Spent all her hard earned money
Just getting high... she sang
(Kate Moss)
Is she more beautiful, is she more beautiful
Is she more beautiful than me?
Is she more beautiful, is she more beautiful
Is she more beautiful than me?
2. FUCK FOREVER
It's all and the same
It's all and the same, oh
So what's the use between death and glory?
I can't tell between death and glory
Happy endings, no, they never bore me
Happy endings, they still don't bore me
They, they have a way
A way to make you pay
And to make you toe the line
Sever the ties
Because I'm so clever
But clever ain't wise
And fuck forever
If you don't mind
Fuck forever
If you don't mind (don't mind)
What's the use between death and glory?
I can't tell between death and glory
New Labour and Tory
Pergatory and happy families
All and the same
All and the same
No, it's not the same
It's not suppose to be the same
Know about that way
The way they'll make you pay
And the way they make you toe the line
Sever the ties
Oh, you're so clever
You're so clever but not very nice
So fuck forever
If you don't mind
I'm stuck forever
(I'm stuck) in your mind
Go ahead and know about that way
To make you feel/realise to make you pay
And...
To make you toe the line
Sever the ties
I'll never...
Sever the ties
And fuck forever
If you don't mind
See I'm stuck forever
I'm stuck in your mind, your mind, your mind, your mind
3. A REBOURS
You sent for me
I was knock knock knocking on death's door
You ignore, adore, a rebours me
You leave me washed up begging for more
If you really cared for me
Ah you'd let me be
You'd set me free
But what you robbed me of is my...
Oh is my liberty
The curtain was calling
You were there blewn away and a rebours
In the mirror bawling
If you want it so much you are gonna have it all
Ah if you really cared for me
Christ knows you'd let me be
You'd set me free
I'm too polite to say...
I defy you all
You know twice as much as nothing at all
It's still nothing at all
I can defy us all
Tides are now turned and hammered it all
Hammered it all
Ah, no, ah no, ah no...
I've been running round this world too much, girl
Pretending not to see
What's drilling me, it's killing me
Oh no, I think I understand
What I misunderstood before
How your love gives me so much more
I am free again, I can see again..
But if I should fall
Would you vow today to pay tomorrow
The fucked off big debt I owe to sorrow...
Ah, oh... sorrow... sorrow...
Ah, oh... sorrow
Ah, no, ah no, ah no...

5. PIPE DOWN
Oh Paddy put the pipe down

6. STICKS AND STONES
Now here's a tale
Tale I will tell
Blood lust after no sweet love
And a many, many things I do so well
Oh you know that's the end
That's the end so far away down
They said that I was as good as dead
And there was hope, but not for us together
My friend, my only friend
Oh well you know that that's the end
And that's the end so far away down
Skip... fame on the run
Don't look back into the motherfucking sun, no
Oh well you know that that's the end
And that's the end so far away down
Sticks and stones
May break my bones
Oh but your words
They really kill me
Sticks and sto-o-o-o-ones
May break my bo-o-o-o-ones
Sticks and stones may break my bones
Oh but your words they really kill me
And there you know that's the end
But there can never be and end
7. KILLAMANGIRO
Ohh ohh ohh ohh
Ohh ohh
Why would you pay to see me in a cage?
And why would you pay to see someone in a cage?
Which the whole world calls a stage
Listen now
I have gone
You will know
I was the only one would have gladly died
Well done for what went wrong
In the eyes of the cruel and unwise
And they killed a man for his giro today
I have it all, he wasnt very gay
I didn't mind, I wasn't money mad anyway
They killed a man for his giro today
Wh-hy would you pay
And wh-hy would you pay
To see me in a cage
Which someone calls a stage
And ohh
Now I have gone
And all this time
I've really gone
What went wrong
In the eyes of the unwell and unwise
And they killed a man for his giro today
On the off chance that your listening
You might like to know a la-de-la
When the night has gone
Ah you'll know I'm not the only one
Who would have gladly died
For what went wrong
In the eyes in the cruel and unwise
And they killed a man for his giro today
An I have it all
Ohh ohh ohhh
Ohh ohh ohhhh
Ohhhh
8. EIGHT DEAD BOYS
Sit right down cause you're a friend
You know there ain't too many left of them
You said I want love, I want it all
You look better now than last time
But you still look better from afar
The life that you wanted was not in store
You're being the dark horse again
Hello, hello
Hello, my love (x3)
Stop your moaning and I'll give you a taster
They give you and line and they call you a waster
Give you a line, oh what a waster
So don't!
You say you will or you won't
Do or you don't (x3)
Cause you look better now than the last time
But you're still no better than before
The life that you wanted wasn't in store
You're being the dark horse again
Hello, hello
Hello, my love (x3)
When it suits you, you're a friend of mine (x15)
Cause you look better now than the last time
But you're still no better than before
The life that you wanted wasn't in store
You're being the dark horse again
Cause you look better now than the last time
But you're still no better than before
The life that you wanted wasn't in store
You're being the dark horse again
9. IN LOVE WITH A FEELING
They would if they could, but they can't
So if they talk like they could
Are you going to heed a word they say
All I'm trying to say was
I'm in love with a feeling
I know that it shows
Yes I'm in love with a feeling
And I don't care who knows
There's a very odd man over there
I don't mean to alarm you
He's by the stairs
No I don't mean to alarm you
He's swimming around all over town
...Meaning... no feeling
Are you going to heed a word they say
No, all I try to say was
I'm in love with a feeling
I know that it shows
I'm in love with a feeling
And I don't care who knows
There's a very odd man over there
I don't mean to alarm you
Hes by the stairs
I dont meant to alarm you
I'm still waiting for you to show me fire
Oh how's your fever
Like an open book
Oh you can read me
Ohhh la la la la la
They would if they could, but they can't
So if they talk like they could
Are you going to listen to a word they say
All I'm trying to to say was
I'm in love with a feeling
I know that it shows
I'm in love with a feeling
And I don't care who knows
Because of his hob knob
Ohh la la, I think love was a dirty word
Love all the time
Only in a friendly way
Not too friendly, not too friendly
10. PENTONVILLE ROUGH
It's rough
It's wicked and rough
It's hard
Pentonville rough
It's tough
It's wicked and rough
It's hard
Pentonville rough
Now in Pentonville there's all type of nation
Russian, Columbian and Jamaican
Latvian, Croatian and a Polishman
Indian, Chinaman down from Vietnam
And from the Carribbean an Jamaican
Poorly paid people formed the Irish gang
And the Scottish and the Englishman
They're rough
Pentonville tough
It's hard
Wicked and rough
Yeah rough
Pentonville tough
It's hard
Wicked and rough now
Everyday, it's the same
People can't get better
No they can't get tamed
And black up the heads of the sick and the lame
Some men jump out of their brains
Cause they can't take the pressure
Or the shame or the pain
When they see the life, it go down the drain
In Pentonville it's a different ball game
It's rough
Pentonville tough
It's hard
Wicked and rough
Yeah rough
Pentonville tough
It's hard
Wicked and rough now
Lying on my lumpy mattress
Lying on my back
Staring up at the ceiling
Counting all the cracks
And what's happening behind me
Look over my shoulder back
Bill Cole got my breakfast pack
He won't give it back
Ooooooooooh
It's rough
Pentonville tough
It's hard
Wicked and rough
Yeah rough
Pentonville tough
It's hard
Wicked and rough now
Everyday, it's the same
People can't get better
No they can't get tamed
And black up the heads of the sick and the lame
Some men jump out of their brains
Cause they can't take the pressure
Or the shame or the pain
When they see the life, it go down the drain
In Pentonville it's a different ball game
So A wing, B wing, C wing and G Wing
Come help us sing
A wing, B wing, C wing and G Wing
Come help us sing
Because it's rough
Pentonville tough
It's hard
Wicked and rough
Yeah tough
Pentonville rough
It's hard
Wicked and rough
11. WHAT KATY DID NEXT
There's a lesson I have learnt
If you play with fire you will get burnt
Hell hath no fury
Like woman scorned
I'll tell you my story
Make you wish you never, wish you...
Wish you never never, wish you never been born
I may never learn, never know
I may live and learn but never know
I may crash and burn, oh no
I may take my turn
If you love her, then tell her you love her and
You could be kissing her soon
If you need her, oh, tell her you need her and
You won't be missing her soon
Oh, but for a love to be true
It must come from her too
It's a lesson hard learned
If you play with fire you will get burnt
Hell hath no fury
... (?)
Oh, I may never learn, you never know
I may live and learn, never know
I may crash and burn, oh no
I may take my turn
If you love her, then tell her you love her and
You could be kissing her soon
If you need her, oh, tell her you need her and
You won't be missing her soon
12. ALBION
Down in Albion
They're black and blue
But we don't talk about that
Are you from 'round here?
How do you do?
I'd like to talk about that
Talk over
Gin in teacups
And leaves on the lawn
Violence in bus stops
And the pale thin girl with eyes forlorn
More gin in teacups
And leaves on the lawn
Violence in dole queues
And the pale thin girl
Behind the checkout
If you're looking for a cheap sort
Set in false anticipation
I'll be waiting in the photo booth
At the underground station
So come away, won't you come away
We could go to...
Deptford, Catford, Watford, Digberth, Mansfield
Ahh anywhere in Albion
Anywhere in Albion
Anywhere in Albion
Yellowing classics
And canons at dawn
Coffee wallahs and pith helmets
And an English song
Mmm... Reebok classics
And canons at dawn
Terrible warlords, good Warlords
And an English song
Oo if you're looking for a cheap sort
All glint with perspiration
There's a four-mile queue
Outside the disused power station
Now come away, oh say you'll come away
We'll go to...
Satsworth, Senford, Weovil, Woomoyle, New-cast-le
If you are looking for a cheap tart
Don't glint with perspiration
There's a five-mile queue
Outside the disused power station
Now come away (away), won't you come away
We'll go to...
Bedtown, Oldham, Nunthorpe, Rowlam, Bristol
Aaa-nywhere in Albion
Anywhere in Albion
Anywhere in Albion
Anywhere in Albion
Anywhere in Albion...
13. BACK FROM THE DEAD
I heard it said
You had come back from the dead
You were playing so fine
Scooping up the soul of the wine
Now courage my boy
When they look you in the eye
Try not to look too scummy
If you need some money
And you want their money
Now I know...
This ain't no happy place to be
You know they're nice around me
You know they're nice about me
And everyone agrees
About what's won in a year from here, my friend
Promises, promises...
You've heard it all before
But nobody ever
Ever get me more...
Oh yes courage my boy
When you look them in the eye
That they laugh if they try to be funny
All along...
Belong
You're still my son
And coin my words
Oh it's absurd how you get so
Very old, man
Typical tan
Took me in hand
To ...
... hour
Banged or bruised
14. LOYALTY SONG
Ah, tell me
What did I dream?
Cause nothing's as it seems
On the way back down, for me
What did I dream?
Cause nothing's as it seems
On the way back round, for me
Nothing's gonna keep me from my
What did I dream?
No one's gonna keep me from my
What did I dream?
We're on the one road
Maybe the wrong road
It's the road to fuck knows where
We're on the one road
Maybe the wrong road
But we're together now so I don't care
Nothing's gonna keep me from my
What did I dream?
No one's gonna keep me from my
No one'll fucking keep me from my
No one's gonna keep me from my
What did I dream?
And if I confide in you today
I know you don't believe a single word I say
I found solace in the flood
And everybody knew that I would
Cause I'm alright
And there's a slight crack in my chimney
So tell me
What did I dream? (x3)
Nothing's as it seems
On the way back round for me
What did I? (x3)
What did I dream?
15. UP THE MORNING
Up the morning, up, up the morning
Up the morning, up, up the morning
Up the morning, up, up the morning
Up the morning, up, up the morning
Up the morning, up, up the morning
Everytime I see your face
It makes me sad, it makes me chase
Chase my love across the world
Even though you're not it's taste
Simple, evil, I don't walk alone
Everytime I see your face
It makes me cry, it makes me wait
Waited far too long
And you were over me
But it's ok, cause I know, where you will go, I will go
Up the morning, up, up the morning
Up the morning, up, up the morning
Up the morning, up, up the morning
Up the morning
Up the morning
Up the morning, up, up the morning
Ayyyyyyyy
And if I, if I could go
Back in time
And if I, if I could go
Back in time
I'd go to show, what did I show?
I would not show
The nights and the fights when I came rumbling out the door
Well what was I supposed to do?
Where's a boy supposed to, supposed to go?
Up the morning, up, up the morning
Up the morning, up, up the morning
Up the morning, up, up the morning
Up the morning, up, up the morning
Up the morning, up, up the morning
16. MERRY GO ROUND
You have always thinking of her
You're in love and you don't know what to say
But I saw her at the fair and she feels the same way
She was married by the merry-go-round
The merry-go-round
How merrily we go round
How merrily we go round
The merry-go-round
He was the first one of the day
He was the last one of the night
Oh hold me tight, hold me tight
They said you were wrongened
But I can see in your eyes
How you are gentle and wise
And you had the good stuff
Oh there's a parade of girls outside
That boy's so shy
Why'd you punch out his lights?
He was the first one of the day
He was the last one of the night
Oh mop it up, she'll be alright
Mop it up, she'll be alright
There's a parade on the hall outside
Come on and feel the air outside.
I'll tell you a story but you won't listen
It's about a nightmare steeped in tradition
It's the story of a coked-up pansy
Who spent his nights in a flights of fancy
Met two fellas over gin and mixers
They talked for a while he soon got the picture
One was a souped up Soho mincer
The other was a pikey with a knowledge for scriptures
Then the conversation turned evil
Talked, talked and talked about people
Why did you do it to so many people?
Stumble left out of the boozer

That girls out way ahead of the game
Way ahead of the game
Way ahead of the game
You've turned your back upon her

Spent all her hard earned money
Getting high she sang
(Kate Moss)
Is she more beautiful, is she more beautiful
Is she more beautiful than me?
Is she more beautiful, is she more beautiful
Is she more beautiful than me?
She's La Belle Et La Bete at the ball
She's La Belle Et La Bete at the ball
She's La Belle Et La Bete at the ball
... (?)
You've turned your back upon her

Spent all her hard earned money

I'll tell you a story but you won't listen

And that's the end so far away down
Sticks and stones
May break my bones
Oh but your words
They really kill me
Sticks and sto-o-o-o-ones
May break my bo-o-o-o-ones
Sticks and stones may break my bones
Oh but your words they really kill me
And there you know that's the end
But there can never be and end
7. KILLAMANGIRO
Ohh ohh ohh ohh
Ohh ohh
Why would you pay to see me in a cage?
And why would you pay to see someone in a cage?
Which the whole world calls a stage
Listen now
I have gone
You will know
I was the only one would have gladly died
Well done for what went wrong
In the eyes of the cruel and unwise
And they killed a man for his giro today
I have it all, he wasnt very gay
I didn't mind, I wasn't money mad anyway
They killed a man for his giro today
Wh-hy would you pay
And wh-hy would you pay
To see me in a cage
Which someone calls a stage
And ohh
Now I have gone
And all this time
I've really gone
What went wrong
In the eyes of the unwell and unwise
And they killed a man for his giro today
On the off chance that your listening
You might like to know a la-de-la
When the night has gone
Ah you'll know I'm not the only one
Who would have gladly died
For what went wrong
In the eyes in the cruel and unwise
And they killed a man for his giro today
An I have it all
Ohh ohh ohhh
Ohh ohh ohhhh
Ohhhh
8. EIGHT DEAD BOYS
Sit right down cause you're a friend
You know there ain't too many left of them
You said I want love, I want it all
You look better now than last time
But you still look better from afar
The life that you wanted was not in store
You're being the dark horse again
Hello, hello
Hello, my love (x3)
Stop your moaning and I'll give you a taster
They give you and line and they call you a waster
Give you a line, oh what a waster
So don't!
You say you will or you won't
Do or you don't (x3)
Cause you look better now than the last time
But you're still no better than before
The life that you wanted wasn't in store
You're being the dark horse again
Hello, hello
Hello, my love (x3)
When it suits you, you're a friend of mine (x15)
Cause you look better now than the last time
But you're still no better than before
The life that you wanted wasn't in store
You're being the dark horse again
Cause you look better now than the last time
But you're still no better than before
The life that you wanted wasn't in store
You're being the dark horse again
9. IN LOVE WITH A FEELING
They would if they could, but they can't
So if they talk like they could
Are you going to heed a word they say
All I'm trying to say was
I'm in love with a feeling
I know that it shows
Yes I'm in love with a feeling
And I don't care who knows
There's a very odd man over there
I don't mean to alarm you
He's by the stairs
No I don't mean to alarm you
He's swimming around all over town
...Meaning... no feeling
Are you going to heed a word they say
No, all I try to say was
I'm in love with a feeling
I know that it shows
I'm in love with a feeling
And I don't care who knows
There's a very odd man over there
I don't mean to alarm you
Hes by the stairs
I dont meant to alarm you
I'm still waiting for you to show me fire
Oh how's your fever
Like an open book
Oh you can read me
Ohhh la la la la la
They would if they could, but they can't
So if they talk like they could
Are you going to listen to a word they say
All I'm trying to to say was
I'm in love with a feeling
I know that it shows
I'm in love with a feeling
And I don't care who knows
Because of his hob knob
Ohh la la, I think love was a dirty word
Love all the time
Only in a friendly way
Not too friendly, not too friendly
10. PENTONVILLE ROUGH
It's rough
It's wicked and rough
It's hard
Pentonville rough
It's tough
It's wicked and rough
It's hard
Pentonville rough
Now in Pentonville there's all type of nation
Russian, Columbian and Jamaican
Latvian, Croatian and a Polishman
Indian, Chinaman down from Vietnam
And from the Carribbean an Jamaican
Poorly paid people formed the Irish gang
And the Scottish and the Englishman
They're rough
Pentonville tough
It's hard
Wicked and rough
Yeah rough
Pentonville tough
It's hard
Wicked and rough now
Everyday, it's the same
People can't get better
No they can't get tamed
And black up the heads of the sick and the lame
Some men jump out of their brains
Cause they can't take the pressure
Or the shame or the pain
When they see the life, it go down the drain
In Pentonville it's a different ball game
It's rough
Pentonville tough
It's hard
Wicked and rough
Yeah rough
Pentonville tough
It's hard
Wicked and rough now
Lying on my lumpy mattress
Lying on my back
Staring up at the ceiling
Counting all the cracks
And what's happening behind me
Look over my shoulder back
Bill Cole got my breakfast pack
He won't give it back
Ooooooooooh
It's rough
Pentonville tough
It's hard
Wicked and rough
Yeah rough
Pentonville tough
It's hard
Wicked and rough now
Everyday, it's the same
People can't get better
No they can't get tamed
And black up the heads of the sick and the lame
Some men jump out of their brains
Cause they can't take the pressure
Or the shame or the pain
When they see the life, it go down the drain
In Pentonville it's a different ball game
So A wing, B wing, C wing and G Wing
Come help us sing
A wing, B wing, C wing and G Wing
Come help us sing
Because it's rough
Pentonville tough
It's hard
Wicked and rough
Yeah tough
Pentonville rough
It's hard
Wicked and rough
11. WHAT KATY DID NEXT
There's a lesson I have learnt
If you play with fire you will get burnt
Hell hath no fury
Like woman scorned
I'll tell you my story
Make you wish you never, wish you...
Wish you never never, wish you never been born
I may never learn, never know
I may live and learn but never know
I may crash and burn, oh no
I may take my turn
If you love her, then tell her you love her and
You could be kissing her soon
If you need her, oh, tell her you need her and
You won't be missing her soon
Oh, but for a love to be true
It must come from her too
It's a lesson hard learned
If you play with fire you will get burnt
Hell hath no fury
... (?)
Oh, I may never learn, you never know
I may live and learn, never know
I may crash and burn, oh no
I may take my turn
If you love her, then tell her you love her and
You could be kissing her soon
If you need her, oh, tell her you need her and
You won't be missing her soon
12. ALBION
Down in Albion
They're black and blue
But we don't talk about that
Are you from 'round here?
How do you do?
I'd like to talk about that
Talk over
Gin in teacups
And leaves on the lawn
Violence in bus stops
And the pale thin girl with eyes forlorn
More gin in teacups
And leaves on the lawn
Violence in dole queues
And the pale thin girl
Behind the checkout
If you're looking for a cheap sort
Set in false anticipation
I'll be waiting in the photo booth
At the underground station
So come away, won't you come away
We could go to...
Deptford, Catford, Watford, Digberth, Mansfield
Ahh anywhere in Albion
Anywhere in Albion
Anywhere in Albion
Yellowing classics
And canons at dawn
Coffee wallahs and pith helmets
And an English song
Mmm... Reebok classics
And canons at dawn
Terrible warlords, good Warlords
And an English song
Oo if you're looking for a cheap sort
All glint with perspiration
There's a four-mile queue
Outside the disused power station
Now come away, oh say you'll come away
We'll go to...
Satsworth, Senford, Weovil, Woomoyle, New-cast-le
If you are looking for a cheap tart
Don't glint with perspiration
There's a five-mile queue
Outside the disused power station
Now come away (away), won't you come away
We'll go to...
Bedtown, Oldham, Nunthorpe, Rowlam, Bristol
Aaa-nywhere in Albion
Anywhere in Albion
Anywhere in Albion
Anywhere in Albion
Anywhere in Albion...
13. BACK FROM THE DEAD
I heard it said
You had come back from the dead
You were playing so fine
Scooping up the soul of the wine
Now courage my boy
When they look you in the eye
Try not to look too scummy
If you need some money
And you want their money
Now I know...
This ain't no happy place to be
You know they're nice around me
You know they're nice about me
And everyone agrees
About what's won in a year from here, my friend
Promises, promises...
You've heard it all before
But nobody ever
Ever get me more...
Oh yes courage my boy
When you look them in the eye
That they laugh if they try to be funny
All along...
Belong
You're still my son
And coin my words
Oh it's absurd how you get so
Very old, man
Typical tan
Took me in hand
To ...
... hour
Banged or bruised
14. LOYALTY SONG
Ah, tell me
What did I dream?
Cause nothing's as it seems
On the way back down, for me
What did I dream?
Cause nothing's as it seems
On the way back round, for me
Nothing's gonna keep me from my
What did I dream?
No one's gonna keep me from my
What did I dream?
We're on the one road
Maybe the wrong road
It's the road to fuck knows where
We're on the one road
Maybe the wrong road
But we're together now so I don't care
Nothing's gonna keep me from my
What did I dream?
No one's gonna keep me from my
No one'll fucking keep me from my
No one's gonna keep me from my
What did I dream?
And if I confide in you today
I know you don't believe a single word I say
I found solace in the flood
And everybody knew that I would
Cause I'm alright
And there's a slight crack in my chimney
So tell me
What did I dream? (x3)
Nothing's as it seems
On the way back round for me
What did I? (x3)
What did I dream?
15. UP THE MORNING
Up the morning, up, up the morning
Up the morning, up, up the morning
Up the morning, up, up the morning
Up the morning, up, up the morning
Up the morning, up, up the morning
Everytime I see your face
It makes me sad, it makes me chase
Chase my love across the world
Even though you're not it's taste
Simple, evil, I don't walk alone
Everytime I see your face
It makes me cry, it makes me wait
Waited far too long
And you were over me
But it's ok, cause I know, where you will go, I will go
Up the morning, up, up the morning
Up the morning, up, up the morning
Up the morning, up, up the morning
Up the morning
Up the morning
Up the morning, up, up the morning
Ayyyyyyyy
And if I, if I could go
Back in time
And if I, if I could go
Back in time
I'd go to show, what did I show?
I would not show
The nights and the fights when I came rumbling out the door
Well what was I supposed to do?
Where's a boy supposed to, supposed to go?
Up the morning, up, up the morning
Up the morning, up, up the morning
Up the morning, up, up the morning
Up the morning, up, up the morning
Up the morning, up, up the morning
16. MERRY GO ROUND
You have always thinking of her
You're in love and you don't know what to say
But I saw her at the fair and she feels the same way
She was married by the merry-go-round
The merry-go-round
How merrily we go round
How merrily we go round
The merry-go-round
He was the first one of the day
He was the last one of the night
Oh hold me tight, hold me tight
They said you were wrongened
But I can see in your eyes
How you are gentle and wise
And you had the good stuff
Oh there's a parade of girls outside
That boy's so shy
Why'd you punch out his lights?
He was the first one of the day
He was the last one of the night
Oh mop it up, she'll be alright
Mop it up, she'll be alright
There's a parade on the hall outside
Come on and feel the air outside.
