Travelling in a fried-out Kombi
On a hippie trail, head full of zombie
I met a strange lady, she made me nervous
She took me in and gave me breakfast
And she said:

"Do you come from a land down under
Where women glow and men plunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder
You better run, you better take cover."

Buying bread from a man in Brussels
He was six foot four and full of muscle
I said, "Do you speak-a my language?"
He just smiled and gave me a Vegemite sandwich
And he said:

"I come from a land down under
Where beer does flow and men chunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder
You better run, you better take cover."

Lying in a den in Bombay
With a slack jaw, and not much to say
I said to the man, "Are you trying to tempt me?
Because I come from the land of plenty."
And he said:

"Oh! Do you come from a land down under (oh yeah yeah)
Where women glow and men plunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder
You better run, you better take cover."

I found a picture of you, oh oh oh oh
What hijacked my world that night
To a place in the past
We've been cast out of ? oh oh oh oh
Now we're back in the fight
We're back on the train
Oh, back on the chain gang

A circumstance beyond our control, oh oh oh oh
The phone, the TV and the News of the World
Got in the house like a pigeon from hell, oh oh oh oh
Threw sand in our eyes and descended like flies
Put us back on the train
Oh, back on the chain gang

Hello,
Is there anybody in there ?
Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anyone at home ?

Come on now
I hear you're feeling down
Well, I can ease your pain
And get you on your feet again

Relax
I'll need some information first
Just the basic facts
Can you show me where it hurts ?

There is no pain, you are receding
A distant ship smoke on the horizon
You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying
When I was a child I had a fever
My hands felt just like two balloons
Now I've got that feeling once again
I can't explain, you would not understand
This is not how I am
I have become comfortably numb

Don't want no cash
Don't need no money
Ain't got no stash
This note's for you.

Ain't singin' for Pepsi
Ain't singin' for Coke
I don't sing for nobody
Makes me look like a joke
This note's for you.

Ain't singin' for Miller
Don't sing for Bud
I won't sing for politicians
Ain't singin' for Spuds
This note's for you.

Don't need no cash
Don't want no money
Ain't got no stash
This note's for you.

I've got the real thing
I got the real thing, baby
I got the real thing
Yeah, alright.

I get up in the evening
And I ain't got nothing to say
I come home in the morning
I go to bed feeling the same way
I ain't nothing but tired
Man I'm just tired and bored with myself
Hey there baby, I could use just a little help

 

You can't start a fire
You can't start a fire without a spark
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark

I can hear you cry

From behind the door of your troubled mind

You locked yourself inside

A lonely prison of your own design

 

Do you feel the burn?

Does it ease the pain when you close your eyes?

Do you give in to your desire

Or live inside your tower of endless nights?

 

I would burn it down for love

Watch the smoke roll out of my broken heart

Burn it down for love

There's no force on earth can keep us apart

 

Take my hand I'll lead the way

Through the darkest parts of these castle halls

No more masquerade

We'll fight ghosts and demons

And we'll breach these walls

 

I know you're still afraid

I'll guide you through these crumbling spires

Trust in me to light our way

With these glowing flames that only you inspire

 

I would burn it down for love

Watch the smoke roll out of my broken heart

Burn it down for love

There's no force on earth can keep us apart

 

Pure of heart and innocent

I can hear your voice from afar

I've had my share of loneliness

Can you hear me now, where you are

 

I would burn it down for love

Watch the smoke roll out of my broken heart

Burn it down for love

There's no force on earth can keep us apart

 

I would burn it down for love

I would soon set fire to a bastioned heart

Burn it down for love

There's no force on earth can keep our souls apart

I would burn it down for love....

How old d'you say your sister was? (sister was, sister was)

How old d'you say your sister was? (sister was, sister was)

You know you'd better keep an eye on her (eye on her, eye on her)

Do the ronde ronde ronde do the rond rond

She hangs out

She hangs out

 

I heard you taught your sister the bugaloo (bugaloo, bugaloo)

I heard you taught your sister the shigaling too

(shigaling too, shigaling too)

Well, she can teach you a thing or two (a thing or two, thing or two)

Do the ronde ronde ronde do the rond rond

She hangs out

She hangs out

 

Well, she hangs out, hangs out

every night, every night

You know you best get down here on the double

Before she gets her pretty little self in trouble

She's...so fine...so fine

 

I say, how old d'you say your sister was? (sister was, sister was)

How old d'you say your sister was? (sister was, sister was)

You know you'd better keep an eye on her (eye on her, eye on her)

Do the ronde ronde ronde do the rond rond

She hangs out

She hangs out

 

She's very, very, very, very, very fine

And she's gonna be mine, so fine

She hangs out

She hangs out

You always wanted a lover
I only wanted a job
I've always worked for my living
How'm I gonna get through?
How'm I gonna get through?

I come here looking for money
(Got to have it)
and end up leaving with love
Now you've left me with nothing
(Can't take it)
How'm I gonna get through?
How'm I gonna get through?

I bought you drinks, I brought you flowers
I read your books and talked for hours
Every day so many drinks
such pretty flowers, so tell me
What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?
What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?
What have I, what have I, what have I…

Since you went away I've been hanging around
I've been wondering why I'm feeling down
You went away, it should make me feel better
but I don't know how I'm gonna get through
How I'm gonna get through

The handshake seals the contract
From the contract there's no turning back
The turning point of a career
In Korea being insincere
The holiday was fun-packed
The contract, still intact

The grabbing hands grab all they can
All for themselves - after all
The grabbing hands grab all they can
All for themselves - after all
It's a competitive world

Everything counts in large amounts

I can't seem to face up to the facts
I'm tense and nervous and I
Can't relax
I can't sleep 'cause my bed's on fire
Don't touch me I'm a real live wire

Psycho Killer
Qu'est-ce que c'est
fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run run run away
Psycho Killer
Qu'est-ce que c'est
fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run run run away

You start a conversation you can't even finish it.
You're talkin' a lot, but you're not sayin' anything.
When I have nothing to say, my lips are sealed.
Say something once, why say it again ?

Psycho Killer,
Qu'est-ce que c'est
fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run run run away
Psycho Killer
Qu'est-ce que c'est
fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run run run away

No-one on earth could feel like this.
I'm thrown and overblown with bliss.
There must be an angel
Playing with my heart.
I walk into an empty room
And suddenly my heart goes "boom"!
It's an orchestra of angels
And they're playing with my heart.

(Must be talking to an angel)

No-one on earth could feel like this.
I'm thrown and overblown with bliss.
There must be an angel
Playing with my heart.
And when I think that I'm alone
It seems there's more of us at home.
It's a multitude of angels
And they're playing with my heart.

(Must be talking to an angel)

I must be hallucinating
Watching angels celebrating.
Could this be reactivating
All my senses dislocating ?
This must be a strange deception
By celestial intervention.
Leavin' me the recollection
Of your heavenly connection.

Goodbye my friend, you've messed up again
You're going to prison, you're off to the pen
You've gotten off easy so many times
But I guess no one told you how to get a life

The judge wasn't lenient like he was before
You got three to five and a kick out the door
The public defender really did try
Too little, too late, you didn't get a life

Hey, in Walla
I'll see you in Walla Walla
Slap on the wrist ? Well, not this time
Hey, in Walla
I'll see you in Walla Walla
Folsom prison is the destination
Hey, in Walla
I'll see you in Walla Walla
Slap on the wrist ? Well, not this time
In the scheme of life, we're all just brothers
Rehabilitate with all the others
Well, I'll see ya

That car looked so tempting, so easy to drive
Just like that apartment that you burglarized
You started to run, but didn't get far
Cause under your arm was a VCR

Hey, in Walla
I'll see you in Walla Walla
Slap on the wrist ? Well, not this time
Hey, in Walla
I'll see you in Walla Walla
Folsom prison is the destination
Hey, in Walla
I'll see you in Walla Walla
Slap on the wrist ? Well, not this time
In the scheme of life, we're all just brothers
Rehabilitate with all the others
Well, I'll see ya

Ho ho, not this time my friend
You'll be in lockdown by ten
I'm afraid you can't talk your way out of this one, son
Now four walls are your 24-hour-a-day, constant companions.

Hey, in Walla
I'll see you in Walla Walla
Slap on the wrist ? Well, not this time
Hey, in Walla
I'll see you in Walla Walla
Folsom prison is the destination
Hey, in Walla
I'll see you in Walla Walla
Slap on the wrist ? Well, not this time
In the scheme of life, we're all just brothers
Rehabilitate with all the others
Well, I'll see ya

I stand still stepping on the shady streets
And I watched that man to a stranger
You think you only know me when you turn on the light
Now the room is lit, red danger

Complicating, circulating
New life, new life
Operating, generating
New life, new life

Transitions to another place
So the time will pass more slowly
Features fuse and your shadow's red
Like a film I've seen now show me

Complicating, circulating
New life, new life
Operating, generating
New life, new life

 

Your face is hidden and were out of sight
And the road just leads to nowhere
The stranger in the door is the same as before
So the question answers nowhere
 

Complicating, circulating
New life, new life
Operating, generating
New life, new life

 

I stand still stepping on the shady streets
And I watched that man to a stranger
You think you only know me when you turn on the light
Now the room is lit, red danger

 

Complicating, circulating
New life, new life
Operating, generating
New life, new life

A Salvation Army band played
And the children drank lemonade
And the morning lasted all day, all day
And through an open window came

Like Sinatra in a younger day
Pushing the town away, ah

 

Ah hey, ma ma ma
Life in a northern town

 

They sat on the stony ground
And he took a cigarette out
And everyone else came down to listen
He said, "In winter 1963
It felt like the world would freeze
With John F. Kennedy and the Beatles"

 

Ah hey, ma ma ma
Life in a northern town
Ah hey, ma ma ma
All the work shut down

 

The evening had turned to rain
Watch the water roll down the drain
As we followed him down to the station
And though he never would wave goodbye
You could see it written in his eyes
As the train rolled out of sight, bye-bye

 

Ah hey, ma ma ma
Life in a northern town
Ah hey, ma ma ma
Life in a northern town

Please could you stop the noise, I'm trying to get some rest
From all the unborn chicken voices in my head
What's that...? (I may be paranoid, but not an android)
What's that...? (I may be paranoid, but not an android)

When I am king, you will be first against the wall
With your opinion which is of no consequence at all
What's that...? (I may be paranoid, but no android)
What's that...? (I may be paranoid, but no android)

Ambition makes you look pretty ugly
Kicking and squealing Gucci little piggy
You don't remember
You don't remember
Why don't you remember my name ?
Off with his head, man
Off with his head, man
Why don't you remember my name ?
I guess he does....

Rain down, rain down
Come on rain down on me
From a great height
From a great height... height...
Rain down, rain down
Come on rain down on me
From a great height
From a great height... height...
Rain down, rain down
Come on rain down on me

So take that look out of here, it doesn't fit you
Because it's happened doesn't mean you've been discarded
Pull up your head off the floor, come up screaming
Cry out for everything you ever might have wanted
I thought that pain and truth were things that really mattered
But you can't stay here with every single hope you had shattered

I heard the sound of voices in the night
Spellbound there was someone calling
I looked around no one was in sight
Pulled down and I kept on falling
I've seen this place before
And you were standing by my side
I've seen your face before tonight
Maybe I just see what I want it to be
I know it's a mystery
Do you remember me
On a street of dreams
Running through my memory
On the street of dreams

On a long road, miles to go
Its winding and cold and its covered with snow
But I ask you what we all want to know
Where are we going from here...
Lines on my face, lines on my hands
Lead to a future I don't understand
Some things don't go as they're planned...
Where are we going from here...
