Thursday's Child
All of my life I've tried so hard
Doing my best with what I had
Nothing much happned all the same
Something about me stood apart
A whisper of hope that seemed to fail
Maybe I'm born right out of my time
Breaking my life in two
CHORUS:
Throw me tomorrow
Now that I've really got a chance
Throw me tomorrow
Everything's falling into place
Throw me tomorrow
Seeing my past to let it go
Throw me tomorrow
Only for you I don't regret
That I was Thursday's Child
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday born I was
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday born I was
Sometimes I cried myself to sleep
Shuffling days and lonesome nights
Sometimes my courage fell to my feet
Lucky old sun is in my sky
NOthing prepared me for your smile
Lighting the darkness of my soul
Innocence in your arms
CHORUS
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, born I was Thursday's Child
Something in the Air
Your coat and hat are gone
I really can't look at your little empty shelf
A ragged teddy bear
It feels like we never had a chance
Don't look me in the eye
We lay in eachother's arms
But the room is just an empty place
I guess we've lived it out
Something in the air
We smile too fast then can't think of a thing to say
Lived with the best times, lived with the worst
Danced with you too long
Nothing left to save
Let's take what we can
I know you'll hold your head up high
We've raved for the last time
A place of no return
CHORUS:
And there's something in the air
Something in my eye
I've danced with you too long
Something in the air
Something in the air
Abracadoo, I lose you
We can't avoid the clash, the big mistake
Now we're gonna pay and pay
Sentences of our lives
Can't believe I'm asking you to go
We used what we could
To get the things we want
But we lost eachother on the way
I guess you know I never wanted anyone more than you
Lived all the best times, left with the worst
I've danced with you too long
Say what you will
There's something in the air
Raved for the last time
But I know you'll hold your head up high
There's nothing we have to say
There's nothing in our eyes
CHORUS
Survive
Oh my, naked eyes
I should have kept you
I should have tried
I should have been a wiser kind of guy
I miss you
Give me wings, give me space
Give me money for a change of face
Those noisy rooms and passion parts
I miss you
Where's the morning in my life
Where's the sense in staying right
Who said 'time is on my side'
I've got ears and eyes and nothing in my life
But I'll survive your naked eyes, I'll survie
You alone across a floor
You and me and nothing more
You're the great mistake I never made
I never lied to you, I hated when you lied
And I'll survive your naked eyes, I'll survive
Beattle boys
All snowy white
Razzle dazzle clubs every night
Wish I'd send you a valentine
I love you
But I'll survive your naked eyes, I'll survive
If I'm Dreaming My Life
Was she never there, was she ever
Was it air she breathed
At the wrong time
All the flowers so
From the gallery
With the wants of night
Singing came to me
At the wrong time
On the wrong day
All the lights are fading now
If I'm dreaming my life
Just one loving chance
When the mother sighs
When the fathers steps aside
At the wrong time
Was she never there, was she ever
Was it air she breathed
At the wrong time
On the wrong day
All the lights are fading now
If I'm dreaming my life
If I'm dreaming my life
Was she ever, was she ever here
If I'm dreaming my life
If I'm dreaming my life away
Dreaming my life, dreaming my
Dreaming my, dreaming my
Dreaming my life, dreaming my life away
Dreaming my life
Dreaming my, dreaming my life away
Seven
I forgot what my father said
I forgot what he said
I forgot what my mother said
As we lay upon your bed
A city full of flowers
A city full of rain
I got seven days to live my life
Or seven ways to die
I forgot what my brother said
I forgot what he said
I don't regret anything at all
I remember how we wept
On a bridge of violent people
I was small enough to cry
I got seven days to live my life
Or seven ways to die
Hold my face before you
Still my tremblind heart
Seven days to live my life
Or seven ways to die
The gods forgot they made me
So I forget them too
I listen to their shadows
I play among their graves
My heart was never broken
My patience never tried
I got seven days to live my life
Or seven ways to die
Seven days to live my life
Or seven ways to die
Seven, seven, seven, seven, seven
Seven, seven, seven, seven
What's Really Happening
Grown inside your plastic box
Micro thoughts and safety locks
Hearts become outdated clocks
Ticking in your mind
Now it's time to close your eyes
Now it's time to say goodbye
Now it's time to face the lie
That we'd never cry
All the clouds are made of glass
And they're slowly sinking
Falling like the shattered past
Were we built to last?
What's really happening
What tore us apart
What's really happening
The Pretty Things are
Going to Hell
What to do, what to say
What to do on a sunny day
Who to phone, who to fight
Who to dance with on a Sunday night
I'm reaching the very edge, you know
I'm reaching the very edge
Going to the other side this time
I'm reachign the very edge
CHORUS
You're still breathing but you don't know why
Life's a bit and sometimes you die
You're still breathing but you just can't tell
Don't hold your breath 'cause the pretty things are going to hell
I am a drug, I am a dragon
I am the best jazz you've ever seen
I am a dragon, I am the sky
I am the blood in the corner of your eye
I found secrets, I found gold
I find you out before you grow old
I find you out before you grow old
What is eternal, what is damned
What is clay and what is sand
Who to dis, who to trust
Who to listen to, who to shush
CHORUS
I am a dragon, I am a drug
I am the best jazz you've ever heard
I am a dragon, I am the sky
I am the blood in the corner of your eye
I found secrets, I found gold
I find you out before you grow old
I find you out before you grow old
The pretty things are going to hell
They wore it out but they wore it well
CHORUS
New Angels of Promise
New angels of promise, we dispair
We are the dead dreams, we take the blame
Take us to the edge of time
Take us to the edge of time
We are the fabulous lovers
I am a blind man, she is my eyes
Suspicious minds, you didn't feel us coming
In this lonely crowd, it's always time
New angels of promise, we dispair
Take us to the edge of time
Take us to the edge of time
We are the fabulous lovers
We listen to the storm
Suspicious minds, you didn't feel us coming
In this lonely crowd, it's always time
Brilliant Adventure
Instrumental.
The Dreamers
Black eyed ravens, they spiral down
They tilt his head back
To the flame filled sunset
Raise their guns high as the darkness falls
These are the days boys
Shallow man, shallow man
And they...eats in the doorway
With his head inclined
And he's always in decline
No one heals anymore
So he shrinks as they ride
Under vermillion sky
So it goes
Just a searcher
A lonely soul
The last of the dreamers
Shallow man, shallow man
Speaks to the shadows
Moves his trmbling hands
And he's always a little late
For the dawning of the day
So it goes
Just a searcher
Lonely soul
The last of the dreamers
hours...
