Mother, I tried, please believe me
I'm doing the best that I can
I'm ashamed of the things I've been put through
I'm ashamed of the person I am
Sung by someone feeling real pain and torment

If the night turned cold and the stars looked down
And you hug yourself on the cold cold ground
You wake the morning in a stranger's coat
No one would you see
You ask yourself, who's watched for me
My only friend, who could it be
It's hard to say it
I hate to say it, but it's probably me |

The Vengabus is coming
And everybody's jumping
New York to San Francisco
An intercity disco
The wheels of steel are turning
And traffic lights are burning
So if you like to party
Get on and move your body
I just have to sing along to this every time. |

"Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused

By a lonely prison wall
I heard a young girl calling
Michael, they have taken you away
For you stole Trevelyan's corn
So the young might see the morn
Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay |

And I wonder if I ever crossed your mind?
For me it happens all the time.
Or
If I gave you my soul for a piece of your mind,
Would you carry it with you till the far edge of time.
Could I rely on your faith to be strong,
To pick me back up and to push me along.
Tell me, you'll be there in my hour of need.
You won't turn me away.
Help me out in this life i lead.
Remember the promise you made. |

"You light up another cigarette
And I pour the wine.
That is a fantastic song - yes - Beverley Craven had a gorgeous voice!"
I had to Google then, to check why the past tense was used. It seems, just because she no longer puts out records *phew!* |

You slipped into my bloodstream through a severed vein.
Anaesthetised the pain in a heart of lead.
Now I know that you’re not heaven sent,
Maybe what you said, wasn’t what you meant
It went straight to my head.

"This year's love it better last..."
Not heard this for a long time... this is going to have to be my next entry into the 'Album in Full' thread (and a beautiful irony that this thread's title song is also on the same album!!) |

A beautiful irony indeed such a good album
(Incorporating "Madame George" into the end of "Say hello Wave Goodbye "is also incredibly beautiful in its own right) |

So when you call up that shrink in Beverly Hills
You know the one, Dr. Everything'll-Be-Alright
Instead of asking him how much of your time is left
Ask him how much of your mind, baby
'Cause in this life
Things are much harder than in the afterworld
In this life you're on your own. |

"Remembering you, fallen into my arms
Crying for the death of your heart
You were stone white, so delicate
Lost in the cold
You were always so lost in the dark
Remembering you, how you used to be
Slow drowned, you were angels
So much more than everything
Hold for the last time then slip away quietly
Open my eyes, but I never see anything
If only I'd thought of the right words
I could have held on to your heart
If only I'd thought of the right words
I wouldn't be breaking apart all my pictures of you"
get me every time |

Oh it's so funny to be seeing you after so long, girl.
And with the way you look I understand that you were not impressed.
But I heard you let that little friend of mine take off your party dress.
I'm not going to get too sentimental like those other sticky valentines,
'cause I don't know if you've been loving some body.
I only know it isn't mine.
Alison, I know this world is killing you.
Oh, Alison, my aim is true.

She stares at the screen and the little words of green trying to remember what to do next, a trace of frustration crosses her face searching for the key she press, and I would her help if I only knew how but these things are a mystery to me too,and it feels like the corporate eyes they are watching, she fears for her job and I look at her name tag, and I think to myself both you and I we never asked for any of this. |

I could be a soldier, go out there and fight to save this land, be a people's soldier paramilitary gun in hand, but I won't be a soldier,I won't take no orders from no-one, stop there fucking armies, killing isn't my idea of fun. |

Severance,
The birds of leaving call to us,
Yet here we stand
Endowed with the fear of flight.
.
Overland
The winds of change consume the land,
While we remain
In the shadow of summers now past.
.
When all the leaves
Have fallen and turned to dust,
Will we remain
Entrenched within our ways.
.
Indifference,
The plague that moves throughout this land
Omen signs
In the shapes of things to come.
.

I met a hula mistress somewhere in Waikiki
Well, she was selling pineapple, playing ukulele
And when I went to the girl, "Come on and teach me to sway"
She laughed and whispered to me, "Yes, come tonight to the bay" |

The summer sun is fading as the year grows old
And darker days are drawing near
The winter winds will be much colder
Now you're not here.
I watch the birds fly south across the autumn sky
And one by one they disappear.
I wish that I was flying with them
Now you're not here
Like a song through the trees you came to love me
Like a leaf on a breeze you blew away
Through autumn's golden gown we used to kick our way
You always loved this time of year.
Those fallen leaves lie undisturbed now
Cause you're not here
Like a song through the trees you came to love me
Like a leaf on a breeze you blew away
A gentle rain falls softly on my weary eyes
As if to hide a lonely tear
My life will be forever autumn
'Cause you're not here! |

Lyrics
Sunday morning going slow
I'm talking to the radio
Clothes and records on the floor
Memories of the night before
Out in club-land having fun
And now I´m hiding from the sun
Waiting for a visitor
Though no-one knows I'm here for sure
Dancing laughing
Drinking loving
And now I'm all alone
In bedsit land
My only home
I think it's time to cook a meal
To fill the emptiness I feel
Spent my money going out
I've nothing I'm left without
Clean my teeth and comb my hair
Look for something new to wear
Start the nightlife over again
Kid myself I'm having fun
Dancing laughing
Drinking loving
And now I'm all alone
In bedsit land
My only home
Look out from my window view
I've really nothing else to do
Read a book and write a letter
Mother, things are getting better
Watch the mirror count the lines
The battle scars of all the good times
Look around and I can see
A thousand people just like me
Dancing laughing
Drinking loving
And now I'm all alone
In bedsit land
My only home
Dancing laughing
Drinking loving
And now I'm all alone
In bedsit land
My only home
I'm waiting for something
I'm only passing time |

"All this talk of getting old.
It's getting me down, my love.
Like a cat in a bag, waiting to drown.
This time I'm coming down"
brought my nan to tears singing along to this with my cousins many moons ago ...don't think she was listening to the lyrics!! 😂😂 |

Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow —
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.
I know very few will get this one. But means a lot to me.

Daniel drinks his weight
Drinks like Richard Burton
Dance like John Travolta, now
.

Daniel's saving Grace
He was all but drowning
Now they live like dolphins
.
.
Getting away with it
All messed up
Getting away with it
All messed up
That's the living |
