1. START AGAIN

I know i've been wrong, some of the time
I know just how strong, you tow the line
Don't you know, that's just the way it goes
You can not have the highs, without the lows.

I know you are looking, for some perfection,
Will you found me, it was the wrong direction,
I'm just a man, that's all I ever am
Nowhere so better then, any other joker.

[Chorus]
Start again, it can't be over, let's start again
Give it a try, then you begin it from the lonely end
A brand new story could be happening, it can't be over, let's start again.

I never blame you for my misery
I hope it's the same, when you think of me
Seen such a waste, to be so far apart
Come on let's start again, come on let's start.

[Chorus]

Start again, let's start again,
Start again, come on let's start again,
Start again, let's start again,
Start again, come on let's start again.


2. LOVE IS A PAIN

Love is a pain in the neck
It leaves your head in a mess
You stared out fine like a bottle of wine
But you end up just like a wreck.

Love can burn you real bad,
Make the happy into the sad
If you will play with fire, then your burning desire
Will one day surely drive you mad.

[Chorus]
And I know it's hard and I understand
When a woman like you must have a man
And a man like me ain't too proud to be in your hands.

Love can bring you right down
From the top to the bottom of the ground
Love is aleveller regular devil
A clown.

[Chorus]

Love is a pain in the neck
It leaves your head in a mess
You stared out fine like a bottle of wine
But you end up just like a wreck.


3. SAME WAY DOWN

Marylin took a trip down to the drugstore,
Get some of that stuff she think she needs.
She doesn't know what it does or what it's for,
Just likes to dress her wounds before they bleed.

Me, I'm lonely lookin' in the mirror,
Empty suitcase lyin' on the bed.
I'm mean to leave her early in the morning,
But I just sat round, wake up myself drunk instead.

[Chorus]
It's all the same way down, round and round, in and out,
It's only passing time, walk in lines, round and round.

How can you tell everything is really done,
Does it come right out to kick you in the head.
There's nothing time's nothing, really one,
Is it better to be alive than to be dead.

[Chorus](x2)


4. ONLY ALONE

How long does it take to forget
The face that haunts your dreamtime ?
And how many years does it take to regret
The times spent in between time ?

Oh, you're not lonely, you're only alone
And I know you've got friends and they're on the telephone
Far be it from me to question your sanity
‘Cause in the end, friend, we're all on our own.

No, I'm not lonely, I'm only here by myself
Got the radio, got the record show, got the books waiting on the shelf
No, I'm not lonely, I'm only passing time
In a week or two I'm telling you it's gonna turn, turn out fine.

How long does it take to wake up ?
How long to adventure ?
Past illusions timeless make up
Into time forever ?

Oh, you're not lonely, you're only alone
And I know you've got friends and they're on the telephone
Far be it from me to question your sanity
‘Cause in the end, friend, we're all on our own.

No, I'm not lonely, I'm only here by myself
Got the radio, got the record show, got the books waiting on the shelf
No, I'm not lonely, I'm only passing time
In a week or two I'm telling you it's gonna turn, turn out fine.

No, I'm not lonely, I'm only here by myself
Got the radio, got the record show, got the books waiting on the shelf
No, I'm not lonely, I'm only passing time
In a week or two I'm telling you it's gonna turn, turn out fine.

No, I'm not lonely, I'm only here by myself
Got the radio, got the record show but I'm only here by myself.


5. BYE BYE BIRD

Oh, bye bye birdy
I say bye bye birdy
Oh, bye bye birdy
I say bye bye birdy
I say bye, bye, bye bye.

Oh, bye bye birdy
I say bye bye birdy
Oh, bye bye birdy
I say bye bye birdy
I say bye, bye, bye bye.


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. NIGHTS

I remember the nights, down in deepest december
Coffee bar juke box lights, shining on
Singing donna,donna,don, it was all so naive
You could really believe.

That the girl dressed in red, smiling at you so sweetly
Would soon be in bed by your side
But it never turned out right, so you walked home again
With your crazy young friends.

[Chorus]
I remember the nights that we had, good ones and bad
All in a dream, all--- in a dream.

I remember the schemes, that we came out with nightly
All our young boyish dreams, that we planned
Were just crystals like sand in the ocean of time
I remember the night.

[Chorus]

I remember the nights, down in deepest december
Coffee by juke box lights, shining on
Singing donna,donna,don, it was all so nice
You can really believe.

I remember the nights, nights, nights, oooh (x4)


8. MAKE ME WANT TO STAY

I've lived my life like a railroad
I've been here, I've been there, I've been everywhere
But I've never seen a sight like I witnessed here tonight
Make me want to stay, make me want to stay
And I'll be happy to stay the night.

I've done some right things, done some wrong things
Done some weird, some weak and some strong things
I’ve heard every point of view, fought till I was black and blue
Make me want to stay, make me want to stay
And I swear I'll cook the breakfast for two.

Make me want to stay, babe
Make me want to stay.

The cards I played were always jacks or aces
So much easier to deal to different faces
But the face I was looking for was the one that opened the door
Make me want to stay, make me want to stay
And I'll probably stay forever more.

Make me want to stay
Make me want to stay
Make me want to stay, babe
Make me want to stay.

Make me want to stay, babe
Make me want to stay
Really want to stay, babe
Really want to stay.

Make me want to stay, make me want to stay
And I'll probably stay forever more.


9. 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?


10. RUN FOR HOME

I've travelled the land with a guitar in my hand
And an eye ever open for some fun
I've made some mistakes, had my share of the breaks
Seen the boys on the make and on the bum.

Run for home, run as fast as I can
Oh, running man, running for home
Run for home, run as fast as I can
Oh, running man, running for home.

I've seen all the frowns on the faces of the clowns
And the downs that they take just to be free
I've seen all the girls in their pretty frocks and curls
But they don't mean a lot to me.

Run for home, run as fast as I can
Oh, running man, running for home.

I've been to the places in town where the faces
Hang 'round just to stare at each other
I've looned with them, scream at the moon
Behaved like a buffoon but I soon discovered.

Run for home, run as fast as I can
Oh, running man, running for home
Run for home, run as fast as I can
Oh, running man, running for home.

Run for home, run as fast as I can
Oh, running man, running for home.

I've travelled the land, made mistakes out of hand
Seen the faces in the places misunderstand
Yes, I've travelled the world, seen the pretty boys and girls
Heard the noise that destroys and commands.

Run for home, run as fast as I can
Oh, running man, running for home
Run for home, run as fast as I can
Oh, running man, running for home.


11. 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)


12. 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.

[Chorus]
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

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

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


13. NEVER MISS THE WATER

The doorknob needs mending, the letters need sending,
The kitchens a disgrace, grease all over the place.

I see your pretty picture, the one you gave me last eastern
Has a mostache drawn in green, where your lipsticks should have been.

[Chorus]
You've never think, of time till it passes you by
Never miss the water, till the well runs dry
You never count, the days till the nights grow cold
Never think you're aged, till you realise you're old.

The ashtrays are brimful, my secrets are sinful
And I drink a lot now, it's the only friend i've got now.

I'd write you a letter, there's a hole in my sweater
And I need to mend it, so I wouldn't have the time to send it.

[Chorus]

I could not live with you, but it's so hard without you
I'm a helpless case, a misfit social disgrace.

Maybe next century, i'll come to my senses
Work out the reason why, you never miss the water, till the well runs dry.

[Chorus]


14. WARM FEELING

Sittin' by the fire glow,
Waitin' for my girl to show,
Feelin' the harmony grow.
I met her just the other day,
She has helped me find my way.
Feelin' the harmony grow.

I wish I had found her a long time ago.
Now, I don't need to wonder any more.

I get a warm feelin' when you're near me.
I get a warm feelin' when you're holdin' me.
I feel the love rushes hangin' round me,
Even when you're gone.

Been together so much more,
Than i've ever known before.
Feelin' the harmony grow.

I need her more than ever now,
It all seems so right, somehow.
Feelin' the harmony grow.

I never met anyone like her before,
Now all the rest don't matter anymore.

I get a warm feelin' when you're near me.
I get a warm feelin' when you're holdin me.
I feel the love rushes hangin' round me,
Even when you're gone.

I get a warmin' feelin' at the mention of her name.
She's brought the sun in my life,
As she drove out all of the rain.

I get a warm feelin' when you're near me.
I get a warm feelin' when you're holdin' me.
I feel the love rushes hangin' round me,
Even when you're gone.

I get a warm feelin' when you're near me.
I get a warm feelin' when you're holdin' me.
I feel the love rushes hangin' round me,
Even when you're gone.
Even when you're gone.
Honey, when you're gone.

Feelin' the harmony grow.
Feelin' the harmony grow.
Feelin' the harmony grow.
Feelin' the harmony grow.


15. CRUISING TO DESASTER

President Reagan ain't faking when he says,
He's gonna teach the Russians good.
You seen what he done with his six shootin' gun,
When he cleaned up in Hollywood.
And the White House standin' up on Capitol Hill,
It's a fortress to freedom with a license to kill,
Only the finger on the trigger with a gunslingers skill,
Wants to prove to the world he's not over the hill.

And the men in the Kremlin all senile and twitchy,
Would love to come in to your life.
To reach out and touch you and teach you the history
Of revolution and strife.
And the red army's there to help you make up your mind
If you think you've got something to do with your time,
They got rockets and missiles that'll blow your mind,
Something to do if you've time.
And blow your future right out of time.

We're cruising to disaster, getting faster and faster
Watch the wheels catch on fire,
Watch the flames burning higher.
Crusing to disaster, getting faster and faster
Stand in line take your place
Say goodbye to the human race.

We've had a good run now the fun is all gone,
And the bomb is about to take over.
If you wannt a last look at what it says in the book,
It says you'd better look over your shoulder.
'Cause the military man has made his plans
And ordinary people don't understand,
It's a long hard haul to the promised land
If you wannt to survive you've got to make a stand.


16. STORMY WEATHER

I'm gonna give up my citizenship, I'm gonna take it to the boss.
Gonna throw it down to her table, and ask her how much it cost.
Gonna burn up my uniform,
Gonna walk the streets in the raw,
I'm gonna declare war at the president's door
'Cause that's what presidents are for.

[Chorus]
It' a stormy, weather, come on boys it's time that we all pull together
Stormy, weather, whether and it's all that we've got it's now or never.

I'm gonna give her a four minute warning, she don't know about the temper I got
If she don't see sense by the morning, gonna take her out and I have her shot.
'Cause I reached the end of my tether,
I always try to be a patient man
But when the lunatics are running the show
You have to show them the strongest hand.

[Chorus]

Gonna line up all their cruise missiles, in a neat and tighty row,
I'm gonna flick them up with my fingers, like a pack of Jacka's dominoes.
I'm gonna smash their death machines,
I'm gonna pull their planes apart,
I'm gonna twist their arms, gonna bend their ears,
Gonna break their little hearts.

[Chorus](x6)


CD 2 RADIO SESSION


1. SQUIRE

Call me the Squire 'cause that's what I am
A high flying flier, a high flying man
Like a seagull on the wing heading for the sun
I swear I mean no harm to you or anyone.

But the man who knocks upon my door ain't smiling
He's the law and, Lord, won’t be so reconciling
To a brain who walks along a one way lane
A Property and wealth is what's required
So call me the Squire.

Call me the Squire and take off your hat
Don't call me no liar 'til you've called yourself that
You know I've hopped along the road from the dole queue to the top
It's a fool who says he knows what is real and what is not.

But the man who knocks upon my door ain't smiling
He's the law and, Lord, won’t be so reconciling
To a brain who walks along a one way lane
A Property and wealth is what's required
So call me the Squire, call me the Squire.


2. PETER BROPHY DON'T CARE

Your nose is in your pipe but you don't care,
Your tattered tweeds and walking cane
All feel real.

The monocled face with the knowing eye see it all go by
But you don't care.
You dance, you prance and sing with the jew,
Who knows your face from a different place

But you don't care, you just don't care.
Found down and out feeling fine,
Drinking bottles of American wine
You don't care, you just don't care.

Lift the cracked old cup to your mouth
And toast the feet that walk the street
>From North to South.
Walking kitten on a leash you smile,
A bow, a quick "how now brown cow".
You don't care if the vicar's hair is falling out,
He's still got to be about,
You don't care, you just don't care.
Brown hot cross buns in the bakery window
Having fun with the sausage roll
It's underdone.

You don't care, you don't care,
You don't care, you don't care....


3. PICTURE A LITTLE GIRL

Golden hair falling upon your face
Silent eyes see nothing out of place
Are you dreaming ? I only wish I knew
All your dreaming, I wish it to come true.

You were wise with the wisdom of a child
I am poor but you make a poor man smile
Have you secrets no one else could know ?
All your secrets, never let them go.

Where are you going ? I will like to know
Can I come with you, I got no place to go.

I am mould and I'm not sure what I've lost
I have paid but I've forgotten what it cost
You can escort me anywhere you choose
I'll not question ..

Where are you going ? I will like to know
Can I come with you, I got no place to go.

Golden hair falling upon your face
Silent eyes see nothing out of place
Are you dreaming ? I only wish I knew
All your dreaming, I wish it to come true.


4. MONEY GAME

I know your daddy is very wealthy
And that he owns half the town in which my old man worked
For half a crown an hour five days a week
Who was too tired in the night to speak about the things in his head.

Oh Anna what does money mean anyway ?
I've got more than all that
I can smile when it's a rainy day
I can see what's behind the big money game they all must play.

Oh Anna, it's not too easy to play the game
When you know the rules in favour of the
Man who has some golden cuff links
For his silken shirt and who never sees the dirt.

Oh Anna what does money mean anyway ?
I've got more than all that
I can smile when it's a rainy day
I can see what's behind the big money game they all must play.

Oh Anna, I don't give a damn
If your daddy can not see me for the things I really am
And I don't mind if your mummy and her kind
Don't like my hair, I don't care because it's you that's on my mind.

Oh Anna what does money mean anyway ?
I've got more than all that
I can smile when it's a rainy day
I can see what's behind the big money game they all must play.

Oh Anna what does money mean anyway ?
I've got more than all that
I can smile when it's a rainy day
I can see what's behind the big money game they all must play.


5. DAN THE PLAN

What went wrong with your plan, man, was it too good to be true ?
No one here could understand why, disappointing it fell through
With one hand on the stirrup and one hand in his stew
No one knows that better than you.

What went wrong with your city, the Brazilia of the North ?
Isn't it a pity that no one knew it's worth ?
But the Civic Centre shines like money in your hand
Let's raise another glass to Dan the Plan.

Oh, Dan, you're a terrible man
Can't you see what you've done ?
You've spoiled all the fun
Oh, Dan, you know you killed me old man
You turned this house, into a caravan
You know it used to be mine
Even the Fog on the Tyne
Now it's all snow and rain
Am I wrong to complain ?
Am I wrong to complain ?

What went wrong with your plan man, did you never realise ?
Surely we could see that you had to subsidise to survive
But the law for once was on our side and behind them bars you'll stew
No one knows that better than you.

Oh, Dan, you're a terrible man
Can't you see what you've done ?
You've spoiled all the fun
Oh, Dan, Dan, Dan, Dan, you killed me old man
You turned this house, into a caravan
You know it used to be mine
Even the Fog on the Tyne
Now it's all snow and rain
Am I wrong to complain ?
Am I wrong to complain ?

What went wrong with your plan man, did you never realise ?
Surely we could see that you had to subsidise to survive
But the law for once was on our side and behind them bars you'll stew
No one knows that better than you
No, no one knows that better than you.
No one, no one knows that better than you


6. GOLDEN OLDIES

Do you remember back in ‘64
When Johnny Lennon opened every door ?
And Bobby Dylan sung a song for you ?
There was nothing better to do.

And it was easy to say I love you
The melody was clean and true
And in the morning it did not deserve to you
You could still recall another two.

Tell me, where are my golden oldies ?
I wonder what went wrong
Tell me, where are my golden oldies ?
I wonder what happened to your song.

I suppose we have to carry on
The world is waiting for another song
And in the meantime what has been and done
Sure was a whole lot of fun.

Tell me, where are my golden oldies ?
I wonder what went wrong
Tell me, where are my golden oldies ?
I wonder what happened to your song.

Tell me, where are my golden oldies ?
I wonder what went wrong
Tell me, where are my golden oldies ?
I wonder what happened to your song.

Tell me, where are my golden oldies ?
I wonder what went wrong
Tell me, where are my golden oldies ?
I wonder what happened to your song.


7. ANGELS AT ELEVEN

I once wished on a star
When I was young, naive and playful
But the star didn't come through
I thought it was disgraceful, distateful.

I once dreamed me a dream
A wild imagination
But the truth couldn't stand up
To cross examination, interrogation.

But oh, when you're lying beside me
I swear that the angels guide me
Where ? I don't care, I just go.

And you do, do what you can
Pass a little friendly conversation
No great thoughts of man
That's well beyond your station, your situation.

But oh, when you're lying beside me
I swear that the angels guide me
Where ? I don't know, I just go.

And the dream's been wished on a star
And the star's wandering 'round Heaven
And you're here by my side
We're angels at eleven.
