No Violins

We were talkin' 'bout the old times
We went walking down the streets we used to run
Remember when you were angry
About every cause to be had
We weren't all bad...

I'm not talkin' 'bout security complex
I ain't talkin' 'bout some monochrome duplex
I ain't talkin' 'bout some new kinda weird sex
I'm just talkin' 'bout - you and me
The way we used to be - hey
I'm just talkin' 'bout you and me brother
I'm just talkin' 'bout another time and place
We were hungry we were mad
We were angry we were glad
We were really Jack the lad
We weren't all bad

We went down we cruised around
We went down down down in the violence
We went around we went around and round and round
We didn't hear no violins
Where's the madness where's the fire
With the flames gettin' higher
Where's the saints and the liars

I'm not talkin' 'bout security complex
I ain't talkin' 'bout some monochrome duplex

I'm just talkin' 'bout - you and me
The way we used to be - oh
I'm just talkin' 'bout you and me brother
I'm just talkin' 'bout another time and place
We were hungry we were mad
We were angry we were glad
We were really Jack the lad
We weren't all bad

We went down we cruised around
We went down down down in the violence

We went down we cruised around
We went down down down in the violence
We went around we went around and round and round
We didn't hear no violins

Laugh Or Cry

This ain't no tragedy
This ain't no addiction
This ain't no comedy
This ain't no fiction
But baby you make me laugh
And baby you make me cry
I don't mind either way
Now I don't care why
You just gotta laugh - or cry
Right till the day you die
Just open up your heart
Or open up your eyes
Laugh or cry
So anytime you wanna laugh
Anytime you wanna cry
Just open up your heart
Or open up your eyes
And baby laugh - or cry

And baby I know
That you'll thank me some day
(Don't hide your emotions)
And baby I know
That you'll see it my way
(Forget all these notions)
So anytime you wanna laugh
Anytime you wanna cry
Just open up your heart
Or open up your eyes
And baby laugh - or cry
Right till the day you die

My Country I & Ii

Something horrid....
Oh oh oh
I would not fight for my country
I would not work to no rule
Don't have no truck with no power game
Won't be some other jerk's tool
Don't have no part of no partisans
Won't have no part 'cos one party and another's all the same
(Workin' for some other man)
All the same
Gonna play it
(Workin' for some other man)
At my own game

Oh ee ooh
Oi you

I would not fight for my country
I would not work to no rule
Don't have no truck with no power game
Won't be some other jerk's tool
Don't have no part of no partisans
Won't have no part 'cos one party and another's all the same
All the same
Gonna play it at my own game

Don't wanna die for some old man's crusade
Don't wanna hear what they feed
Don't wanna kill for some cause of the age
Don't wanna cry for somebody else's need
Don't want no piece of no flag in the breeze
Don't want no part 'cos one party and another's all the same
All the same
Gonna play it at my own game

Ooooooh not me
Oi you
You don't get me
Oi you

Ooooooh not me
Oi you
You don't get me
Oi you

Good Times Are Now

Across the street your smile broke
Like a wave upon my face
You didn't notice me at all
Across the street I saw you
With some other pretty face
I loved you then I love you now
I loved you then I love you now
I had to take a chance cos special moments
Only tend to happen now and then
I had to take my chance and grab the moment by it's ears
Not be just some fly on your wall
Had to take my chance there
So I asked you out to dance there
I loved you then I love you now
I loved you then I love you now
I had to take a chance cos special moments
Only tend to happen now and then

Live for the present it's the only one we have
Nobody get's out of here...alive
Life in the future might never come to pass
You know - good times are now

I loved you then I love you now
I loved you then I love you now
I had to take a chance cos special moments
Only tend to happen now and then

Live for the present it's the only one we have
Nobody get's out of here...alive
Life in the future might never come to pass
You know - good times are now

Across the street your smile broke
Like a wave upon my face
You didn't notice me around
Across the street I saw you
With some other pretty face
I loved you then I love you now
I loved you then I love you now
I had to take a chance cos special moments
Only tend to happen now and then

You know - good times are now

Magic Is Loose

Almost like Christmas
But the calendar's wrong
The silence is deafening
But the feeling is strong
Magic is loose
Magic is loose in the world tonight
The sky is too black
The star's are too bright
The air is too still
Funny business alright
Honey can you feel it
Honey can you feel it
Magic is loose
Magic is loose in the world tonight

All through the Occident
Through the grey atmospheres
All through the Orient
Like a shroud around a sphere
My feelings are bent
It's a strange kind of scene
There's a little distortion
On my personal screen
Honey can you feel it
Honey can you feel it
Magic is loose
Magic is loose in the world tonight
In the world tonight

Interlude In Constantinople

Good evening Constantinople
The best audience in the world we've been told
We really hope the dope'll
Make you clap
At all that crap
That you've been sold

Airheads

Red light warning
Break down coming
Red light warning
People round here call me an airhead
People round here know I like a bottle of wine
People round here think I'm better off dead
The folks round here call me an airhead
The folks round here ain't too refined
Break - Down - Comin'
Raw - Nerve end - Tingle
Cops - Bust - Run in
Speed - Hurts - Keys jangle
Airheads - Stick together
Airheads - Till the end of time
Airheads - Don't know better
Airheads - I feel fine

Red light warning
People round here call me an airhead
People round here know I like a bottle of wine
People round here think I'm better off dead
The folks round here call me an airhead
The folks round here ain't too refined

Brain - On - Bed - Where am I?
Liverpool - Leeds - Miami
Real nutcracker this morning
Real nutcracker last night
Airheads - Stick it together
Airheads - Till the end of time
Airheads - I don't know better
Airheads - I feel fine
Oh yeah

Red light warning
No panic station
People round here call me an airhead
People round here say I've got space for brains
People round here are no better than junk food
The jerks round here should go play with the traffic
The folks round here should go play with the trains

Break - Down - Comin'

Fun In Space

Strangers in a strange land
In an alien heat
Journeys made by no man
In event of defeat

This ship sings to the skies
This ship sings to the skies
For all you gals and guys

Stranger than fiction
The smile on your face
Boy when we get there
We'll have fun in space

Our structure is battered
But the corridors ring
With little green stories
Of this and these things

This ship sings to the skies
This ship sings to the skies
For all you gals and guys

Stranger than fiction
The smile on your face
Boy when we get there
We'll have fun in space

Ooooh yeah
This ship sings to the skies - oh
This ship sings to the skies
For all you gals and guys

Stranger than fiction
The smile on your face
Boy when we get there
We'll have fun in space
