Les paroles


1. COURT IN THE ACT

Got the summons served on a Sunday, see what I done
Couldn't see much sense in the charges, but they sure sounded like fun.
So I went downtown to a Bow Street, to see the company man,
'Hey boy your in a heap of trouble, but i'll do everything that I can'.

But the judge is a grudge man, and that's a fact (man that's a fact)
And the judge is a grudge man, and that's a fact
You shouldn't let yourself never get caught in the act.

Sorry for the damage i've done, try to pay it back
The only crime I ever committed was being caught in the act.
So the next time that you feel good don't forget the fact
There's a man in blue and he wants you to be, be caught in the act.

And the judge is a grudge man, and that's a fact (man that's a fact)
And the judge is a grudge man, and that's a fact
Hope that you never get caught in the act.

And the judge is a grudge man, and that's a fact (man that's a fact)
And the judge is a grudge man, and that's a fact
Hope that you never get caught in the act.
Hope that you never get caught in the act.


2. EVERYTHING CHANGES

When I think of you my voice changes, my smile changes, my face changes
When I think of you my heart changes, my day changes, to get me that way.
Everything changes.

You work like a man, do what you can
Just another wheel in the masterplan.
But thinking of you, changes the view
And do anything, 'cause I know, yes I know, that I can.

[Chorus]
When I think of you my voice changes, my smile changes, my face changes
When I think of you my heart changes, my day changes, to get me that way.
Everything changes.

You do what you do, try to get thru
Carry the way that's hanging on to you.
But with you in my eyes, it's no surprise
I can say anything, 'cause I know, yes I know, that it's true.

[Chorus](x2)
Everything changes (x10)


3. ANYWAY THE WIND BLOWS

I am just a traveller, a victim of the times
Blown in this direction by the closen of the mind.

This whole world is shadowed now, how can we begin
Hurl apart and scattered like the leafes before the wind.

[Chorus]
Which way to turn, which way to go
Which way but who knows, any way the wind blows.
It blows so cold, it blows so free
The world goes, any way the wind blows, that goes for me.

I have been a laborer, worker with my hand,
Lately times where hard I had, to work in foreign land

Sure I miss my children, I couldn't back to be apart
If I could work at home, I'd still be working with my heart.

[Chorus]

I am just a vagabond, society reject,
I don't know where I'm headed for, or where I wind up next.

Maybe the embankment, with the gloves to keep me warm
Maybe I keep flowin' like, the dust before the storm.

[Chorus]

It blows so cold, it blows so free
The world goes, any way the wind blows, that goes for me.


4. ROLL ON THAT DAY

One day I know the way before us will be clear
All I divide just now will fade and disappear.

One day I know is sure is morning follows night
We walk together from the darkness to the night.

Brothers and sisters joining hands along the way
Change got to come and I say, roll on that day.

[Chorus]
Roll on that day I say now, roll on that day,
Change got to come and I say, roll on that day.

For all the cold and lonely, hungry and unborn
See that their darkest hour is just before the dawn.

And I see a bright blue morning, lighten up the way
Change got to come and I say, roll on that day.

[Chorus]

I see a bright blue morning, lighten up the way
Change got to come and I say, roll on that day.

[Chorus](x4)


5. WALK IN THE SEA

(No lyrics available)


6. LADY ELEANOR

Banshee playing magician sitting lotus on the floor
Belly dancing beauty with a power driven saw
Had my share of nightmares, didn't think there could be much more
Then in walked Rodrick Usher with the Lady Eleanor

She tied my eyes with ribbon of a silken ghostly thread
I gazed with trouble vision on an old four poster bed
Where Eleanor had risen to kiss the neck below my head
And bid me come along with her to the land of the dancing dead

But it's all right, Lady Eleanor
All right, Lady Eleanor
I'm all right where I am

She gazed with loving beauty like a mother to a son
Like living, dying, seeing, being all rolled into one
Then all at once I heard some music playing in my bones
The same old song I'd heard for years, reminding me of home

But it's all right, Lady Eleanor
All right, Lady Eleanor
I'm all right where I am

Then creeping on towards me, licking lips with tongues of fire
A host of golden demons screaming lust and base desire
And when it seemed for certain that the screams could get no higher
I heard a voice above the rest screaming 'You're a liar'

But it's all right, Lady Eleanor
All right, Lady Eleanor
I'm all right here in your arms


7. KNACKERS YARD BLUES

You keep on running but I'm left behind
I need a white stick 'cos I walk so blind
I'm like a bandage on a wooden leg
I feel hung up just like a coat on a peg

I bought some pictures to hang on my wall
But I like a change so I moved them all
But nothing ever changes in the human race
I can get another mirror but it's still the same old face

You used to tell me there was nothing I lacked
You took it all and left me stretched on your rack
You took my money and you took all my clothes
I need you like I need a cold in my nose

You took my armchair and you took my settee
You took my breakfast and you came back for tea
You took my socks and now you're smoking in bed
I need you like I need a hole in the head


8. I WANT YOU TO BE MY BABY

(No lyrics available)


9. WINNING THE GAME

So many people are gonna try to fool you
Get to thinking that your the biggest thing in town,
They run around make a fuss and trying to please you,
Build you up so they can bring you down.

[Chorus]
You've given all you've got now, you can't afford to stop now
You've everything to lose, when you're winning the game.
They messing you around, they trying and do you down
They push you to the ground, now you're winning the game.

They take your to place where the people are gonna know you,
Ask you questions you've answered time and time before,
They wanna feel what it's like to be in your shoes
To sail the sea but never have to leave the shore.

[Chorus]

When you're winning the game, they remember your name
They don't raise to a smile, when you talk out of style,
Can't you see it's true, there's just me and you
Stand to lose when you're winning the game.

[Chorus](x2)


10. MEET ME ON THE CORNER

Hey Mr Dreamseller, where have you been?
Tell me have you dreams I can see?
I came along, just to bring you this song
Can you spare one dream for me?

You won't have met me, and you'll soon forget me
So don't mind me tugging at your sleeve.
I'm asking you if I can fix a rendezvous.
For your dreams are all I believe

Meet me on the corner when the lights are coming on
And I'll be there, I promise I'll be there
Down the empty streets we'll disappear until the dawn
If you have dreams enough to share

Lay down your bundles of rags and reminders
And spread your wares on the ground
Well I've got time, if you deal in rhyme
I'm just hanging around

Meet me on the corner when the lights are coming on
And I'll be there, I promise I'll be there
Down the empty streets we'll disappear until the dawn
If you have dreams enough to share

Hey Mr Dreamseller, where have you been?
Tell me have you dreams I can see?
I came along, just to bring you this song
Can you spare one dream for me?


11. MEET ME ON THE CORNER (REPRISE)

(See lyrics on track 10)


12. FOG ON THE TYNE

Sittin' in a sleazy snack-bar suckin'
Sickly sausage rolls
Slippin' down slowly
Slippin' down sideways
Think I'll sign off the dole

[Chorus]
'Cause the fog on the Tyne is all mine, all mine
The fog on the Tyne is all mine
The fog on the Tyne is all mine, all mine
The fog on the Tyne is all mine

Could a copper catch a crooked coffin maker
Could a copper comprehend
That a crooked coffin maker is just an undertaker who
undertakes to be a friend

[Chorus]

Tell the truth tomorrow
Today will take it's time to
Tell you what tonight will bring,
Presently we'll have a pint or two together
Everybody do their thing

We can swing together
We can have a wee wee
We can have a wet on the wall
If someone slips a whisper
That his simple sister slapped them down
And they slavered on their smalls

[Chorus](x2)


13. CLEAR WHITE LIGHT

Do you believe
The clear white light
Is going to guide us on?

Running along the ground singing a song in the morning light
Follow flowery fields as far as out of sight
Turning your head to the clouds and the skies and the trees
'Cause you never know what you might see.

Do you believe
The clear white light
Is going to guide us on
The way?

Seeing the sun as it wants to be seen by ev'ryone
Melting the sky throw a hole in your eye where the magic comes
Turning your heads to the skies with the clouds in your eyes
'Cause you never know what you might find

Do you believe
The clear white light
Is going to guide us on
The way?

Now is the time to be loving and kind to your fellow men
Seeing the sympathy starting out all over again
Now is the time to give love just one more go
'Cause you never know what you might know

And I believe
The clear white light
Is going to guide us on

Yes I believe
The clear white light
Is going to guide us on
