I pictured a rainbow
You held it in your hands
I had flashes
But you saw the plan
I wandered out in the world for years
While you just stayed in your room
I saw the crescent
You saw the whole of the moon
The whole of the moon

 

[unassuming]

We're only making plans for Nigel
He has his future in a British Steel

 

[fromtheshwa]

Futures made of virtual insanity, now
Always seem to be governed by this love we have
For these useless, twisting, of our new technology
Oh, now there is no sound, for we all live underground

 

[unassuming]

Ah, all aboard Sub Rosa Subway
Had you wondered
Who's been digging under Broadway
It's Alfred
Poor Al, oh no, Al
As for America's first subway
The public scoffed
"It's far too crude"
One station filled with Victoria's Age
From frescoed walls
And goldfish fountains
To Brahmsian tunes

 

[fromtheshwa]

We got the message
I heard it on the airwaves
The politicians
Are now DJs
The broadcast was spreading
Station to station
Like an infection
Across the nation
Though you know you can't stop it
When they start to play
You're gonna get out the way

The politics of dancing
The politics of, ooh, feeling good
The politics of moving, aha
If this message's understood

 

[IFUSEEKAMY]

Pilot of the airwaves, here is my request
You don't have to play it but I hope you'll do your best

 

[unassuming]

Burn down the disco
Hang the blessed DJ
Because the music that they constantly play
It says nothing to me about my life
Hang the blessed DJ
Because the music they constantly play

Hang the DJ, hang the DJ, hang the DJ
Hang the DJ, hang the DJ, hang the DJ
Hang the DJ, hang the DJ, hang the DJ
Hang the DJ, hang the DJ
Hang the DJ, hang the DJ
Hang the DJ, hang the DJ, hang the DJ
Hang the DJ, hang the DJ
Hang the DJ, hang the DJ

 

[fromtheshwa]

Ah, watch out
You might get what you're after
Cool babies
Strange but not a stranger
I'm an ordinary guy
Burning down the house

 

[downbound123]

Ain't breaking no rocks on the chain gang

oh, aah, ooh, aah
Ooh, aah, ooh, aah

(Well, don't you know)
That's the sound of the men
Working on the chain gang
That's the sound of the men
Working on the chain gang

 

[fromtheshwa]

I found a picture of you, oh-oh
Those were the happiest days of my life
Like a break in the battle was your part, oh-oh
In the wretched life of a lonely heart

Now I'm back on the train, yeah
Oh, back on the chain gang

 

[downbound123]

Poor Al, oh no, Al

If you'll be my bodyguard
I can be your long lost pal
I can call you Betty
And Betty, when you call me, you can call me Al
Call me Al

 

[downbound123]

You don't have to

You don't have to say you love me just be close at hand
You don't have to stay forever I will understand

 

[fromtheshwa]

Cause when the loving starts, and the lights go down
And there's not another living soul around
You woo me until the sun comes up
And you say that you love me

 

[unassuming]

That's the night that the lights went out in Georgia
That's the night that they hung an innocent man
Well, don't trust your soul to no backwoods Southern lawyer
'Cause the judge in the town's got bloodstains on his hands

 

[fromtheshwa]

I remember feeling low
I remember losing hope
And I remember all the feelings
And the day they stopped

We are we are all innocent
We are all innocent
We are we are

 

[bluebro69]

You said you'd always love me
Said you'd be my friend
You had your fingers crossed
You stuck it to me in the end

Innocence, ooh
Innocence, ooh
Innocence, ooh
Innocence, ooh
Oh, what a lie baby
Don't even try, lady

 

[fromtheshwa]

Well, how can I forget you girl?
When there is always something there to remind me
Always something there to remind me

 

[unassuming]

The soldier blues were trapped on a hillside
The battle raging all around
The sergeant cried, "We've got to hang on, boys!
We've got to hold this piece of ground"
I need a volunteer to ride up
And bring us back some extra men
And Billy's hand was up in a moment
Forgetting all the words she said

 

[bluebro69]

Wherever you go,
My heart will follow.
I love you so.
I'll be true to you.
Take my love with you
To any port or foreign shore.
Darling, you must feel for sure,
I'll be true to you.

 

[ogibowt]

Wherever you go,
My heart will follow.
I love you so.
I'll be true to you.
Take my love with you
To any port or foreign shore.
Darling, you must feel for sure,
I'll be true to you.

that one goes way back
