Happy Man

There Is Magic In This World
Nothing But Love
Watching The Stars
Kettledrum Heart
She Rules My World
Song Of Madness
Before They Put Me In The Ground

1. THE VERSE TIME FORGOT

FITTING FOR HER SO
I'LL VISIT HER HERE WHERE THE BELLS NEVER TOLL
IN A PLACE THAT IS NO PLACE
IN AN AGE THAT HAS NO CLOCK
WHERE THE YEARS WONT TOUCH HER FACE
MY BEAUTIFUL GIRL
IN THE VERSE TIME FORGOT

AND MY FRIENDS ARE ALL HERE LAUGHING
IN STRANGELY FAMILIAR SCENES
THEY POUR ONTO THE PAGE
LIKE HAPPY BABBLING STREAMS

BUT THERE SET IN THE MIDDLE
SHE GLITTERS LIKE GOLD CANNOT
MY BEAUTIFUL GIRL
IN THE VERSE TIME FORGOT

THERE'S A CIRCLE AROUND HER
ONE FAMILY
THEY TRICKLE ROUND MY HEART
LIKE HAPPY BABBLING STREAMS

AND AT LAST I MEET MYSELF
A BOY AT PLAY
WE PICK OURSELVES OUT A PERFECT SPOT
BUT I MUST BE GOING
THOUGH I'D LOVE TO STAY
WITH THE GOOD HEARTED BOY
IN THE VERSE TIME FORGOT

AND HE'LL STAY HERE PLAYING IN MY SONG
THE FUNNY LITTLE BOY
STILL IN LOVE
LOVING HER
FOREVER

3. AEROPLANE

REMEMBERING MY DAD
GRABBING HOLD OF MY FEET
SWINGING ME ROUND

REALITY SUCKS AND I'VE GOT TO GET AWAY
SO I DO A LITTLE DRUGS TO HELP ME ON MY WAY
FROM MICHAEL OWEN ON THE TELLY TO MY BLACK KAWAZAKI
WINE IN MY WELLIES AND A SACK OF WHACKY-BACCY

AND I FEEL LIKE MY DAD JUST GAVE ME AN AEROPLANE
SPINNING AROUND
STANDING HERE FLYING ON THE GROUND
I DON'T CARE IF I EVER COME DOWN

WELL I'M RIDING THE WAVES OF A PECULIAR FEELING
CAUSE THE SUN HAS BEEN SHINING AND THE BELLES ARE PEELING
AND I'M CALLING THEM ALL CAUSE I DREAM THAT I CAN GO
WITH MY RAMSHACKLE TACKLE AND FREE MY LIBIDO

AND IT FEELS LIKE MY DAD JUST GAVE ME AN AEROPLANE
SPINNING AROUND
STANDING HERE FLYING ON THE GROUND
I DON'T CARE IF I EVER COME DOWN
AEROPLANE

I DO MY OWN THING I AIN'T GOT NO PIGEONHOLE
AND NOBODY OWNS ME SO I CANNOT BE SOLD
I'M NOT A CLEVER DICK I JUST KNOW WHAT I KNOW
AND I KNOW THAT I KNOW MY GOAL

AND I FEEL LIKE MY DAD JUST GAVE ME AN AEROPLANE
SPINNING AROUND
STANDING HERE FLYING ON THE GROUND
I DON'T CARE IF I EVER COME DOWN

QUALITY CONTROL HAS FAILED TO SIFT US OUT
HEAD OFFICE HAS NOT BEEN INFORMED
AS WE LEAP FROM THE GUTTER TO THE HOLE IN THE WALL
CONNECTIONS DOWN AND THE FUSES BLOWN
SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE MACHINE
AS WE LEAP FROM THE TWISTER TO THE HOLE IN THE SKY

AND WE'RE NOT SCARED OF KARMAGEDDON

I DON'T REALLY CARE WHAT HAPPENS ANYMORE
ISN'T IT THE SAME THING IN THE END?
AS WE LEAP FROM THE CHILL ZONE TO THE HOLE ON THE FLOOR
I'M GETTING OUT WHAT I'M PUTTING IN
IT ALL COMES AROUND IN THE END
AS WE LEAP FROM THE WOMB TO THE HOLES IN SPACE

AND WE'RE NOT SCARED OF KARMAGEDDON

IN AMONGST THE MARSHES DOWN BY THE RIVER

THERE IS LOVE IN THIS LAND

WATCHING THE STARS
A MILLION MILES HIGH
THROWING THEIR SHAPES IN THE SKY
AND THEY SING THE SWEETER SONGS

BUT I KNOW WHERE I BELONG
DOWN HERE ON EARTH
HALFWAY UP MY OWN GUITAR
PROPPING UP ANOTHER BAR
TRYING NOT TO STRAY TOO FAR
FROM WHERE IÕM GOING TO
IN THIS LIFE LIVING TO FEEL
MAKING IT UP AS I GROW ALONG THE WAY

THERE IS A WAY THERE IS A KEY
THERE IS A DOOR AFTER ALL
THERE IS A WAY

SOMETIMES I LEAVE
THE ORBITS I KEEP
AND FIND MYSELF WASHED UP
IN A CAR PARK TOO FAR
WITH MY HOLOCAUSTIC BREATH
LIKE A LITTLE TASTE OF DEATH
BUT I KNOW BREATHING SUITS ME BEST
DOWN HERE ON EARTH
HALFWAY UP MY OWN GUITAR
PROPPING UP ANOTHER BAR (OF MUSIC)
TRYING NOT TO STRAY TOO FAR
FROM WHERE I'M GOING TO
IN THIS LIFE LIVING TO FEEL
MAKING IT UP AS I GROW ALONG THE WAY

THERE IS A WAY THERE IS A KEY
THERE IS A DOOR AFTER ALL
THEREÕS NO WAY THEREÕS NO KEY
THEREÕS NO DOOR AFTER ALL

THE POISONS WERE STRONG THIS MORNING
MY BATTLE-SCARRED BRAIN RESUMES THE WAR
MY TORTURE CHAMBER MEMORY
SLOWLY REVEALS THE NIGHT BEFORE

HOW I'VE TRIED TO SWAY FROM WRONG
BUT TO ERR IS...IN MY GENES
I'M NOT A SET OF SONGS
I'M THE MAN IN BETWEEN

I COULDN'T SLEEP ON MY LEFT SIDE
MY KETTLEDRUM HEART BANGED ON THE BED
BEATING OUT A CEASELESS RHYTHM
THAT POUNDED AROUND MY KETTLEDRUM HEAD

HOW I'VE TRIED TO SWAY FROM WRONG
BUT TO ERR IS...IN MY GENES
I'M NOT A SET OF SONGS
I'M THE MAN IN BETWEEN

AND BACK TO THE WORLD
WHY SO REAL?
I WAS ONLY HOPING I WOULDN'T FEEL
I WAS ONLY HOPING I WASN'T REAL

HOW I'VE TRIED TO SWAY FROM WRONG
BUT THE FAULT IS...IN MY GENES
I'M NOT A SET OF SONGS
I'M THE MAN IN BETWEEN

AND I'M JUST A DOODLE DOING WHAT DOODLES DO

SHE RULES SHE RULES
SHE RULES MY WORLD

TINY ELECTRIC PEOPLE RUN AROUND MY BRAIN
SMILING AND WAVING WHERE ONCE THEY EMBRACED
THEY DON'T TEND TO VISIT LIKE THEY DID IN OTHER DAYS
HAPPY THAT SHE HAS HER WAY

SHE RULES SHE RULES
SHE RULES MY WORLD

DOWN SHE LASHES LIKE A MONSOON RAIN
ROUND SHE CRASHES LIKE A HURRICANE
HER POWER SMASHES LIKE A TIDAL WAVE
HER ENDLESS SECRET'S LIKE A GLACIAL PLAIN
AND I'M JUST A DOODLE DOING WHAT DOODLES DO

12. BEFORE THEY PUT ME IN THE GROUND

BEFORE THEY PUT ME IN THE GROUND
I'D LIKE TO MAKE A SOUND FOR SOMEONE
I'VE GOT SOMETHING TO SAY
IN THE MIDDLE OF LAST NIGHT
I TURNED ON THE LIGHT AND STARED INTO SPACE
AND HER SONG BEGAN SINGING ME
HER MUSIC WAS PLAYING ME
AND I HEARD MYSELF SAY
I HOPE SHE'S OK

I REMEMBERED MY LIFE LIVING ME
AND MY SMILE EVEN SMILING ME
FAR AND AWAY
WHEN THE DISTANCE BETWEEN US PULLED ITSELF TIGHT
WRAPPING US ROUND OUR BUTTERFLIES
IN A BEAUTIFUL WAY
AND THEN MORE THAN A MEMORY
HER NAME CAME OUT OF ME
AND I HEARD MYSELF SAY
I HOPE SHE'S OK

AN AURA AROUND US FUSED US INTO ONE
LIFTING US HIGH FLYING US ON
BUT IN ONE MAD RUSH OF BLOOD
I SEIZED THE FUTURE AND I SHOOK IT
I REMEMBER THE DAY

AND HER GROOVE HAS SPUN MY SPIRAL SINCE THEN
OUT OF HER INTO HER AGAIN EVERY DAY
AND MY DESTINY OFFERS ME UP LIKE A LAMB
MY WILL SURRENDERS IT'S A SHAM
I'M GIVEN AWAY MY LOVE

NOW THEY CAN PUT ME IN THE GROUND
I'VE MADE A SOUND FOR YOU IN MY OWN LITTLE WAY
MY LOVE
I HOPE YOU'LL BE OK
I KNOW YOU'LL BE OK

two way thing
no truth up in the mountains
the magnificent g-seven
she really was
everything's better
acoustic smithereens

smithereens

i'm mystified by myself
am i justified?
is there something else?

i've found my freedom now
funny how it feels like being alone
it's you

can't remember my dreams
i'm smashed to smithereens
is there any blame?

i've found my freedom now
funny how it feels like being alone
it's you

i can't believe it's me
who's done what i've done
and when i reach for what i really need
it's you

can't remember my dreams
i'm smashed to smithereens
is there any blame?
i'm smashed to smithereens
is there anything?

ghost of her touch

i want my little girl around me
i feel the ghost of her touch about me
all i ever wanted
all i dreamed of
there she goes does she know how tales of her have found me
i wonder
i hope she hears good things about me
i wonder
all i ever wanted
all i dreamed of
there she goes but a wise man dies many times before he's born so get a life
don't necessarily mean get a wife
sometimes there ain't much more to life
than wine women and wrong
or was i wrong? i want my little girl around me
i feel the ghost of her touch about me

in our time

resuscitate my sensibilities
for love and not seclusion
i need you now
and revive my willingness to
strive for strength
from this confusion
i need you now
for the touch of another
in itself reciprocates
i need you now

in our time we should be
something greater
than we have been
in my life i'd like to see
some hope for you and me

and i believe the strength
within each soul
can shape it's own destiny
i need you now

for sometimes the ball and chain
of circumstance
can weigh too much
for anyone alone
i need you now

and the love of another
in itself perpetuates love
i need you now in our time we should be
something greater
than we have been
in my life i'd like to see
some hope for you and me

my baby

under the setting sun of the twentieth century
swinging on the branches of a bonsai tree
i'm just the ape of the ideal i want to be
i'm going to forget myself
i've got to set myself free

but my time machine can only go
sixty minutes an hour
and mostly i just flow to the end of the week
you'd better leave me behind my baby

and i got another message from my childhood today
it said you can't call gospel what the grown-ups say
i'm just the skimming of a pebble on a puddle
on a summer day
looking back at the ripples from the splash i've made

but my time machine can only go
sixty minutes an hour
and mostly i just flow to the end of the week
you'd better leave me behind my baby

take my music song and dance but leave me behind
take the heart and any part of grace in me
listen look and learn and love but leave me behind
take me with you but leave me behind my baby

but my time machine can only go
sixty minutes an hour and mostly i just flow to the end of the week
you'd better leave me behind my baby

your burning light is not so bright tonight
you gave us all a fright
but you must remember this
there's no doubt that it can
you're the better man if you were wondering

there's only five thousand tigers left
and you must be one of them
you must be one of them

time spreads its hands
and holds us all one day
in its perfect way
but you must remember this
there's no doubt that it will
but you'll burn brighter still if you were wondering

there's only five thousand tigers left
and you must be one of them
you must be one of them

immortal eyes
have seen the gift of life for what it is
immortal hands
have framed the essence of us for all to see
there in the hearts and minds
of the honest open loving giving kind
and you must be one of them

there's only five thousand tigers left
and you must be one of them
you must be one of them

i'm looking for another way of living
for this boss a dead loss a sea of steam and sweat
i never seem to get myself across
i'm looking for another way of living

I've got a pulse to support
and i'm going to fill it with meaning

so many riddles and codes and sneaky little toads
no yes's no no's
i'm looking for another way of living
the junk mail and the fairy tales
no hammers no nails
i'm looking for another way of living

i've got a pulse to support
and i'm going to fill it with meaning
you're never going to get me twisted out of shape
never going to get me twisted

it's so clear so pure so dear so true
so leave me to my way i'm going that way anyway

it's all money possession material obsession
just part of the procession
i'm looking for another way of living
your little pay-packet's a straightjacket
i'll get my own racket
i'm looking for another way of living

i've got a pulse to support
and i'm going to fill it with meaning
you're never going to get me twisted out of shape

spirits roam in no-man's land
between the trenches in the country's liver
in a love forsaken drinking trough
captain cuthbert cadaver quivers

the red and white eyed army slithers
to cop the toxic

in the eggy bacon bubble and beans
all day every day breakfast cafe
where greasy bse numbers slumber
and hormone moan in the food chain

in planet ketchup wrapped in the sun
and formaldehyde and seek a life
and then microwave bye-bye

two way thing

like the moon that pulls the sea a ring of blue electricity began to lead me
and a force beyond control inside those eyes crept up and stole away with half of me
i began by losing sleep i'd close my eyes and see your deep hair flowing over me
and in time i saw the secrets of the waves of agonies entwined with ecstasies

but it was wrong the way you treated me
if only you knew then what you know now
you will feel all the pain you make
you could be loving you could be cruel
you can change the way you're made
you could be heaven, you could make hell
well hell it's a two way thing

in the time we were together it seemed more a case of weathering the storms
in my way i showed you how to let the rain fall from the clouds and then return to steam
but you learned so very well i could turn to you and tell you almost anything
and the river changed its flow and the giver got to go and ruin everything

but it was wrong the way i treated you
if only i knew then what i know now
you will feel all the pain you make
you could be loving you could be cruel
you can change the way you're made
you could be heaven you could make hell
well hell it's a two way thing

but it was wrong the way i treated you
if only i knew then what i know now
it's a two way thing

watching all the ways the moments turn into the days of impossibilities
though we had the time to learn we seemed to help each other burn the love we had away
but if we have to travel far and find ourselves right where we are it will be worth the journey
like in time there coils a rose a secret love that no one knows apart from you and me

but it was wrong the way we saw each other
if only we knew then what we know now
you will feel all the pain you make
you could be loving you could be cruel
you can change the way you're made
you could be heaven you could make hell
well hell it's a two way thing

no truth up in the mountains

there is no truth up in the mountains
there is no answer out in the seas
there is no secret buried in paradise
a song from a tear does it for me

and i feel your love isn't only for your sake
you could know everything by the sound you make

so now that i see you and not just a face
i may seem that i'm dreaming or maybe not in this place
but i wish we weren't talking unless we could not be silent
because we don't need to work out what our words say

and i hope you can listen to the empty space
you could know everything by the music you make

so when i kiss you there's a reverberation
and when i touch you we resonate
and when i sing i sing completely
and what i'm playing is what i'm saying

and i feel your love isn't only for your sake
you could know everything by the sound you make

there is no truth up in the mountains
there is no answer out in the seas
there is no secret buried in paradise

she really was

i went east to see the way to go to see something
and she came to meet me she's a little bit crazy
something we all say a little too lightly
then again everyone is in some way
but she really was

i've got loved ones spread far and wide
and the precious things have all been swept aside
but if want was could
i'd be by her side
and draw back the darker skies
and open her eyes

in the middle of a garden
she was looking back at me
we only seemed to have a moment together
it was fleeting it was free
the way i see her looking over her shoulder
for a second meant to be
i think the summer changed everything
or was it me?

i went west to find how to keep the day longer
under sunset skies she was beautiful
something we all say a little too lightly
then again everyone is in some way
but she really was

i've got loved ones spread far and wide
and the precious things have all been swept aside

i can feel myself get better all on its own
everything's right the way it should be
i can feel my life's survived inside of me
when you left me i could have died
i spun a web of fantasy protecting your lies
but everything's better i've seen the light
and when you're grappling in the darkness
i'll be alright
everything's better i've apportioned the blame
and it's you who'll know the guilt and feel the shame
the heartbreaking story of how your love died
was nothing more or less than a pack of lies
but i don't need you

because everything's better my path is my way
i'm going to show my self the time of my life every single day
you even told me my own love had died
i can't believe i believed all those lies
but i don't need you

and you know i miss you i miss you i miss you
