Life's An Ocean 11. Stormy Clouds 12. Reprise 1 A New DecadeA New DecadeThe radio plays the sounds we made And everything seems to feel just right Coming through your lonely mind Well I've seen things That scared and bruised and left me blind So come on, listen along with me I think you need a little company And how long will I run for? Who am I running from? And it makes sense The youth coming up and making you dance Coz I've got something inside of me So come on I could use the company And how long will I run for? But now I've seen my face on a cardboard wall Nobody comes, nobody calls And how long will I run for? Teenage tears sting my eyeballs In a town where I wasn't born And I will never suffer So come on, come on, come on But now I see my face in a cardboard wall Nobody comes, nobody calls If your looking for me I'm there and it's true If your looking for me out there it's true 2 This Is MusicI stand accusedJust like you for being born withought a silver spoon Stood at the top of a hill Over my town I was found I've been on the shelf too long Sitting at home on my bed too long Got my things and now I'm gone How's the world gonna take me? Finding myself used to be hard But now, I see the light If love is a drug Then I don't need it I've been on the shelf too long Sitting at home on my bed too long Now it's time to hear my song How are you gonna take it? I've been on the shelf too long I've been on the shelf too long I've been on the shelf too long I've got a lot of living to do There's a door in my mind that's open wide Come inside come inside Jesus never saved me He'll never save you too, and you know! I've got a little sticker on the back of my boot This is music And now I see the light shining bright in my eyes If love is the drug then it ain't for me Well music is my life And loved by me I'm gonna move on the floor with my sweet young thing Down down down we go till we reach the bottom Of our soul with this is music 3 On Your OwnTell me what you seeWas it a dream? Was I in it? Life seemed so obscene until it's over Who knows? All I want is someone who can fill the hole In the life I know In between life and death when there's nothing left Do you wanna know? You come in on your own And you leave on your own Forget the lovers you've know And your friends on your own Tell me if it's true That I need you, you are changing I've seen this road before down on the floor It is hurting me All I want is someone who can fill the hole in the life I know In between life and death when there's nothing left Do you want to know? You come in on your own And you leave on your own Forget the lovers you've know And your friends on your own You come in on your own And you leave on your own Forget the lovers you've know And your friends on your own Lies, I've got to get rid of this whole inside Lies, I've got to get rid of this whole inside (repeat until end) 4 So It GoesLife - roll my die, change this lifeYou said this movie was mine But now you go and change your mind This is my life So it goes You come in on your own in this life You know you leave on your own 'Cause I don't need no calls When my feelings fall You showed me things I didn't want to see I don't believe that love is free Sure fine way to treat a man So it goes...you come in on your own in this life And you know you leave on your own I'm just a boy in a white banana I'm just a boy, and a wife, and a fella I'm just a poor little wifeless fella Another drink and I won't miss her 5 A Northen SoulThis is a tale of a Northern SoulLooking to find his way back home He's coming from that same old road You know the one your folks don't know I want to see if you know me I was born in a rented room My mother didn't get no flowers Dad didn't approve of me, do you? I'm alive with something inside of me And I don't think I'm coming back So come on come in inside of me Let's spread it all around Give me your powder and pills I want to see if they cure my ills I've no time for love and devotion No time for old fashioned potion Take a look into my eyes I tell you so many lies and then I'll let you go into the night And I don't think I'm coming down I'm alive with something inside of me... And I can't seem to get it out I'm gonna die alone in bed This is a tale of a northern soul Looking for his way back home And my friend said, "Come in side of me And your speakers are telling the truth Comming through and into your room on a river of sound" This is a tale of a northern soul looking for his way back home And if he sees it I know I'll know (repeat) And there's fighting on the street below I know there's fighting on the street below But I dont' care coz I'm a Northern Soul And I'm looking for a way back home Too busy staying alive (repeat) Too busy living a lie, too busy living my life Too busy stayihg alive 7 Drive You HomeYour face so paleHasn't see the light for days But...on the hill You had no place to say "The skies are all mine And I'm proud to be here But when my lover cries I feel his tears" I was gonna drive you home I was going to tell you who I wanted We came back to the same place We didn't speak just danced in our minds Oh lover I know this ain't what it should be But let me take you home I'll show you what you should see I was gonna drive you home I was gonna tell you who I wanted I was gonna drive you home... I'll never change for anyone I know it's there but I just can't see it I know it's there but I can't see it A little light with you and me in it I know it's there but I can't see it I was thinking about the times I could have had And whether they turn out good if they turn out bad I was going to take you home Show you things your lover wouldn't know My angel, my lover, my angel My mind lover, my mind lover She's my mind lover 8 HistoryI wander lonely streetsBehind where the old Thames does flow And in every face I meet Reminds me of what I have run from In every man, in every hand In every kiss, you understand That livng is for other men I hope you two will understand I've got to tell you my tale Of how I loved and how I failed I hope you understand I've got to tell you my tale Of how I loved and how I failed I hope you understand These feelings should not be in the man In every child, in every eye In every sky, above my head I hope that I know So come with me in bed Because it's you and me, we're history There ain't nothing left to say When I will get you alone Maybe we could find a room Where we could see what we should do Maybe you konw it's true Living with me is like keeping a fool In every man, in every hand In every kiss, you understand That living is for other men I hope you know that I am me so come on I'm thinking about history And I'm living for history And I think you know about me Cause I am And one and one is two But three is company When you're thinking about the things you do And you're thinking about the things you do I want to tell you my tale How I fell in love and jumped out on my bail I hope ypu understand there's more in a smile than in a hand In every sky, in every kiss There's something that I might have missed Why am I going to A place that now belongs to you But you were weak and so was I Let's pick it up, let's even try To live today, so why not smile Don't dream away your life coz it is mine Is that a crime, is that a crime? This life is mine The bed ain't made but it's filled full of hope I've got a skin full of dope The bed ain't made but it's filled full of hope I've got a skin full of dope 9 No Knock On My DoorShe knew my feelings were tangled and frayed,She took me into a windblown alleyway, She showed me what a boy should see, I'll thank her till the day that I die. So... here we go... No knock on my door. Baby, till you see what living has done to me. And I'm sure that life means more than this. I took her to a room and I showed her myself, She made feel proud and respectful, There's nothing that this girl won't do for me, For that I've gotta thank her, I mean it. So... here we go... A face in the crowd, Jump up then jump down, Baby. Can you see through me? Sure, I've been here before, No knock on my door, No love, in the car. Baby... Please be my style. Sure,I've seen it before, No knock on my door, Love in the car can be painful I know. Cry, I've cried every night. I need to hold you Child, Oh, but can you see me? Knocking down your door. Sure, there's times I have crawled, And there's times I have dreamed, Oh, but it seems that must you need my love? And I never seem to put it out, my love. And I'm shaking, I'm shaking, and I'm shaking. 10 Life's an OceanLife's An OceanToo much commotion, too much emotion Dragging me down Living for today, don't have time to pray Ready for the game Take a line of fickle flame Imagine the future Woke up with a scream I was buying some feelings From a vending machine Say that I will see Something more than I have There's something inside of me Crying out for something else And if someone hears my scream Put it in a letter to me Slippery slidey road down Life's an ocean too much commotion Not enough emotion to satisfy me Slippery slidey road down It's slippery slidey road down Hold my hand and we'll walk down Dry those eyes and we'll walk down Slippery slidey road down Life's an ocean, life's an ocean Too much commotion, too much emotion 11 Stormy CloudsI wanted to tell you my storyHow my life seemed to change in a matter of days The heavens break I am walking tall How come change always seems to bring the rain And through it all I feel no pain Stormy clouds, new horizons Come and get it, if you want to So hop on the train coz it kills the pain Blues player going to another town Believe me this boy here is sinking Just drinking These streets, these times They tie me down, I'm through with you But through it all I feel no pain Stormy clouds, new horizons Come and get it, if you want to |
