mmhmm mmm
mmhmm mmm
You can keep your god damn invitation
We can’t play any harder to survive
You go ahead and blame my generation
Working three jobs to keep above the line
Maybe we should get some education
If Daddy’s rich and Mummy’s skin is white
Or you could lend that money from a corporation
And pay them, till the day you die
Oh yeah
There’s no quiet in the hum of the city
So in the city, we will rise, oh yeah
Take me down to the deep black water
I’ll be there I will be your daughter
Take me down to the deep black water now
I will stand you give the order
We will march till we break the border
Take me down to the deep black water now, hey yeah
The train to hell has been and left the station
The green eyed man he fights to get on board
‘Coz he don’t care about your situation
The only care he has you can’t afford
Oh yeah
There’s no quiet in the hum of the city
So in the city, we will rise
Take me down to the deep black water
I’ll be there I will be your daughter
Take me down to the deep black water now
I will stand you give the order
We will march till we break the border
Take me down to the deep black water now, hey hey
Ooh
Aah
There’s no quiet in the hum of the city, no
So in the city, we will rise
Take me down to the deep black water
I’ll be there I will be your daughter
Take me down to the deep black water now
Oh I will stand you give the order
We will march till we break the border
Take me down to the deep black water now
Ooh hoo (Take me down to the deep black water)
(I’ll be there I will be your daughter) Ooh hoo
Oh yeah (I will stand you give the order)
Oh ho oh, oh ho oh (We will march till we break the border)
Hey (Take me down to the deep black water now)

Mmm hmm
Ooh hoo, ooh ho, ooh hoo
Oh Emma Lee
Honey why can’t you see
You need to know yourself
You can’t do that through me
He said I lost my daddy
My daddy lost me
So I know that it’s important
To say what you mean
And you’ll find no answers
In your bottled up dreams
You gotta break the glass
And let your soul be seen
Oh Emma Lee
Honey why can’t you see
You need to know yourself
You can’t do that through me
I’m drunk on your body
Your lips are like wine, mmm
But you tasted something better
And wasted me dry
And you can have me for wanting
But not for pity or kind
And if you heart ain’t aching for me
Then leave me behind
Oh Emma Lee
Honey why can’t you see
You need to know yourself
You can’t do that through me
Ah ha
And the things you hate about yourself, mmm
Are the things you’ll hate in someone else
And we can cry, cry, cry
And we can yell
But I’d rather be the guy
Who did you well
Oh yeah, Emma Lee
Honey why can’t you see, hey now
You need to know yourself
You can’t do that through me
Oh yeah yeah, Emma Lee
Forget the meant to be
Ooh woo hoo, well you need to know yourself
You can’t do that through me
No you can’t do that through me
No you can’t do that through me now baby
You can’t do that through me yeah
Oh baby, Emma Lee
Mmm hmm, Emma Lee
Ha hoo, Emma Lee
Oh baby
Ah baby
Uh huh

Oh Mother

Oh Mother
I need you now
I have forgotten
Myself somehow
Oh Mother
Your dancing child
Who once saw the world
Through cellophane eyes
Will you teach me, again
To feel alive
Oh Mother
With no God in the sky
Who taught me patience
Who taught me to cry
Oh Mother
Did I tell you you’re right, you’re right
About God and
About being, alone with your mind
Will you teach me, again
To feel alive
Why did I come here for
Ten thousand miles, to a different shore
I’m tired, and my heart is sore
I don’t feel that fire here anymore
Oh Mother, yeah
I need you now
I have forgotten
Myself somehow
Oh Mother
Your dancing child, mmm hmm
Who once saw the world
Through cellophane eyes
Will you teach me, again
To feel alive
Mmm mmm
Again to feel alive, oh woah
Again to feel alive
Oh to feel alive, oh to feel alive
Hey yeah
To feel alive
Oh no no ho, no ho
Hey hey
Again, to feel alive

I'd Like To Be
03:32
|
|||
One little touch it, just ain’t enough having
One little piece of your pie
One little crush and, oh now your blushing
I’m gonna creep in your mind, oh yeah, but listen
It may not work, you might get on my nerves
Or it may be just fine, whoa Lord
If you and me, we get it together
We can make it wrong, to make it right
If you can and I can then we can
Take this thing just a little bit further
And I can’t promise that it lasts
But excuse me
I’d like to be your baby
Oh I’d like to be, your girl
(Ooh hoo hoo) Ah ha nah yeah
(Ooh hoo hoo) Ooh mmm yeah
Two bodies lean in, to you I’m pleasing
Too much, tonight
It’s true I’m conceding, so don’t be leading
Me on, alright, ooh yeah
It may not work, you might get on my nerves
Or it may be just fine, oh Lord
If you and me, we get it together
We can make it wrong, to make it right (Make it right)
If you can and I can then we can
Take this thing just a little bit further
And I can’t promise that it lasts
But excuse me
I’d like to be your baby
Oh I’d like to be, your girl
Ah nah nah nah no no
I’d like to be
Mmm yeah (Oh I’d like to be)
I’d like to be
Baby (Oh I’d like to be)
Your girl
Hey yeah (I’d like to be your baby)
I said I’d like to be (Oh I’d like to be)
I said I’d like to be
Ooh yeah (I’d like to be your baby)
I said I’d like to be, uh
I said I’d like to be (Oh I’d like to be)
Ooh yeah
I’d like to be your baby
Oh I’d like to be

Making my way to the other side
I don’t feel alive
Hey Lord I’m burning
Making my way to the other side
I don’t feel alive
There’s a stone
In your shoe
Ah there’s a hole in your pocket and a rip in your shirt
Where your heart once grew
And your soul
Is mine too
I get an ache in my side and wet my eyes
Every time your blue
Ooh and you can’t be moved
So I’m going under
Ooh you can’t be moved
By rain or by thunder
Making my way to the other side
I don’t feel alive
Hey Lord I’m burning
Making my way to the other side
I don’t feel alive
Making my way to the other side
I don’t feel alive
Hey Lord I’m burning
Making my way to the other side
I don’t feel alive
There’s a light
There’s a truth
There’s a promise land for every broken man
If we just break through
Yeah it’s in sight
It’s in view
And as I swim through the sand I reach out my hand
But I’m losing you
Ooh and you can’t be moved
So I’m going under
Ooh you can’t be moved
By rain or by thunder
Making my way to the other side
I don’t feel alive
Hey Lord I’m burning
Making my way to the other side
I don’t feel alive
Making my way to the other side
I don’t feel alive
Hey Lord I’m burning
Making my way to the other side
I don’t feel alive
There’s a stone
In your shoe
Ah there’s a hole in your pocket and a rip in your shirt
Where your heart once grew

Painted People
04:04
|
|||
Colour, cut it
Long as it shows what you wanted
You can make it or, fake it easy
If you try you might believe it
Do you need it when you’re on your own
Does it make you feel good that glitter and gold
Mirroring the perfect mould
‘Coz we all learn to be what we’re sold
So here we go the masquerade
Of painted people on your screen display
Painting what they wanna show
So here we go
Here we go oh
Here we go ah hee
Hey hee
Filter, smile
You’ve got what you wanted it’s all worthwhile
If you make it you can take it easy
If they don’t like it just delete it
You can hide what you wanna hide
But you cannot erase the hurt inside
Believe me baby I’ve denied
To be just me’s the hardest thing I’ve tried
So here we go the masquerade
Of painted people on your screen display
Painting what they wanna show
So here we go
Here we go oh
Here we go ah hee
Hey hee
So I guess the problem isn’t in the painting
But what the painter’s too afraid to show
So go ahead and fix your hair and makeup
But don’t you makeup somebody you don’t know
So here we go the masquerade
Of painted people on your screen display
Painting what they wanna show
So here we go
Here we go oh
Here we go ah hee
Ah hee
Ah hee, oh
Ah hee

Postcript - '52 Cadillac
02:50
|
|||
Smoke and games your life becomes
Leave your loving on the run
He left a note soaked in wine
Put down his hand and caused a scene
The wind was howling awful mean
How could you leave my love behind
Yeah
I left you standing at that bar
Your rolled up sleeves, your Gretsch guitar
I’m gonna make myself a name
Ooh, you can’t change your hand when it’s been played
Can’t change the tracks underneath the train
You play the club, well I play the heart
Ooh, and although you drive me crazy, crazy
I’ll be driving without you baby, baby
‘Coz I gotta ’52 Cadillac mother
You can’t ride it though
‘Coz you gone and screwed me over
I gotta ’52 Cadillac mother
You can’t ride it though
‘Coz you gone and screwed me over
