Welcome To My World

All things fight desire
Curiosity gets you there
Dragged in to the fire
Burn me if you dare
Welcome to my world won't you come on in?
Wallow in my filth help me do my thing
Welcome to my world
Welcome to my world
Welcome to my world
She said I want it
And you've got it
Go get your pedestal boy
And put me on it
In your world, in your world
Take me to your world
I said I'm keen to treat you mean
And take you to the places girl where
Only you dream
In your world, in your world
I'll take you to my world
Welcome to my world won't you come on in?
Wallow in my filth help me do my thing
Welcome to my world
Welcome to my world
Welcome to my world
Don't look so nervous I'll take care of you
We're doing the things that you want me to do
So pull down your blindfold
Take a deep breath
Peek a boo
And welcome to my world
Welcome to my world won't you come on in?
Wallow in my filth help me do my thing
Welcome to my world
Welcome to my world
Welcome to my world
Fall in on your knees
I'd hate to leave a mark
Wash away my filth
We'll clean up after dark
Welcome to my world
Welcome to my world
Welcome to my world

There's a rumour going round this Town
That you used me and you played around
Just like you did before when I believed your lies
And took you in my arms again.
My Mamma told me there was more to life
My Brother warned me of my cheating wife
I've no intentions of going through once more
So I'm taking back my wings
And I'm not coming back again
Oh I'm not coming back again
Till the morning brings my sweet surprise
You can cross your T's and dot your I's
But I'm not coming back again
Was he worth it? Was it meant to be?
Was it something more than fantasy?
And when you closed your eyes did you think of me?
Were you screaming out my name?
Well now it's over I've made up my mind
Did I not mention I'm the jealous kind?
Don't try and look for me don't waste your time
I'm a million miles away
And I'm not coming back again
Oh I'm not coming back again
Till the morning brings my sweet surprise
You can cross your T's and dot your I's
But I'm not coming back again
All at once I see it clearly looking out my goldfish bowl
And staring at the barren waste I'd come to know
of everything we used to be
but now it's time I opened up my blinkered eyes
and took control of everything I used to be
And I'm not coming back again
Oh I'm not coming back again
Till the morning brings my sweet surprise
You can cross your T's and dot your I's
But I'm not coming back again
All at once I see it clearly and I'm not coming back again
I'm not coming back again

China, Singapore, Japan anybody there give a damn?
Has the Earth not bore enough for you? Yeah you.
Arabia, Iran, Kuwait you pedal oil our countries crave
Has the climate changed that much for you? Yeah you?
White lightning strikes the Earth.
Radiation wipes your worth
Mother Nature trusted us
Can't you feel it too?
Cos I love this Planet, I love this Planet
You know I love this Planet
Hope you love it too?
Germany, Russia, France arm and arm at the American dance
How about we lay them down for good? Yeah good
Mexico, Peru, Brazil any species left to kill?
Devastate their land at will thank you, yeah you
White lightning strikes the Earth.
Radiation wipes your worth
Mother Nature trusted us
Can't you feel it too?
Oh my baby blue
I love this Planet, I love this Planet
You know I love this Planet
Hope you love it too?
I never want to see it end. Say goodbye to you my friends
Too late to make amends? Bless you, and you!
We only want to plant our seeds you only want to take our trees
Driven by catastrophic greed thank you, yeah you!
Cos I love this Planet, I love this Planet
You know I love this Planet
Hope you love it too?

Days & Daydreams
03:34
|

|
Different days have different daydreams
Different worlds to call my own
Different hopes and aspirations
Lead me down a drifty road
I thought I'd died and went to Heaven
And my time had come to pass
But different days have different daydreams
Living in a Gypsy past
But oh the Summer time
Falls like sweet red wine
And the rare old mountain dew
Finds a way on through
'Cos I felt the pouring rain
Clean my soul again
And the more I thought of you
The less I really new

A Better Way
04:17
|

|
She was born in Wallsend her mother left at six years old
While her Daddy drank himself into his grave
She was in and out of care homes
She never coped with the sleepless nights
And the loneliness was more than she could take
When I met her on the Tyne bridge
She was staring at that river passing by....
Baby there's a better way for you
I think there is a better way
Baby there's a better way for you
So bring it on through
Somewhere after midnight we shuffled down a one way street
Just to find a place to lay our heads till dawn
You see living rough isn't easy the city streets can be so cruel
And those Northern winds can cut right through your soul
She said "I don't know where we're going"
"But I guess it'll be a long, long way from home"...
Baby there's a better way for you
I think there is a better way
Baby there's a better way for you
So bring it on through

The University Of Life
03:44
|

La, la, la, la, la, la, laa.....
It's a university of life but leave it up to me.
And I'll simplify my orders if you'll listen to my lies.
It could be contribution based and that's nice so if you want me to,
I'll owe it to the people they've got miles and miles coins.
Because I love you and you love me too
But we don't get no choice It's a dream it's not a voice
So if you want me to, I'll be forever blue
I'm standing on my chair waving flags up in the air.
In the university of life there's perfect sympathy
What should be made to order has a casual supply.
You're never where you want to be but that's life
Enrol your destiny or stand up to the Dean hold a protest in between
And when your duty calls I will bless you all
With medals on my chest bravely sat behind my desk
And if you make it home to someone beautiful
I'm sure they'll make a fuss take the pressure off of us
La, la la, la, la ,la laa.....
And in the twilight years you'll drink the cheapest beers
And smoke a million fags picking nags out of the rags
And when you're feeling blue you'll eat your processed food
And race towards the grave with those pennies that you saved
In the university the university of life!
La, la, la, la, la, la, laa
It's a university a university of life!

The Other Side Of Life
04:36
|

|
I have the sun in my eyes I have the waves at my feet
I've got my girl by my side and we're skipping down the beach
A warm wind's in our hair it feels like Heaven today
I lift her up in my arms and whisper the words that she wants me to say
That's the western motion that runs straight through me
Sing a Hymn or an Aria from the other side of life
The other side of life
I have to figure it out find the place to call home
Chase the negative doubt from the life I've never known
My heart is bursting with pride torn by the Taff and the Tyne
Both have a place of their own where the memories are sweet and the values are strong
That's the western motion that runs straight through me
Sing a Hymn or an Aria from the other side of life
The other side of life
I'm falling in love again it happens everyday
I take the rest in my stride but I don't know what I want I don't know what to say
So hide your instinct my friend loneliness will make some sense of it all
It's all a waste of my time but if I never did go I never would call
To the western motion that runs straight through me
Sing a Hymn or an Aria from the other side of life
The other side of life

Hold tight God is on your side, Lady luck is shining on
Live for the day and I will be with you
Which way? Don't have know which way 'cos we can make it on our own

So don't waste your time on a rock 'n' roll maverick or a rolling stone
Let's get it on, Let's get it on
You're scared I know you're really scared but scaring is only done by ghosts
What's in the past isn't gonna trouble ya, oh yeah
So sit back, loosen up, relax let's carry on with growing old
You're safe tonight 'cos this boy's in love with ya, oh yeah
It's like a river running through ya
Well take a little piece of luck and a magic feeling and we'll overcome
It's complicated and it's been frustrating
So don't waste your time on a rock 'n' roll maverick or a rolling stone
Let's get it on, Let's get it on
Let's get it on, Let's get it on
I'm trying to say that I love ya
I'm trying to say that I was wrong.....
It's like a river running through ya
Well take a little piece of luck and a magic feeling and we'll overcome
It's complicated and it's been frustrating
So don't waste your time on a rock 'n' roll maverick or a rolling stone
Let's get it on, Let's get it on
Let's get it on, Let's get it on

I've Seen The Day
04:43
|
|||
|
She falls around the Moon cos she's so happy
She's open to the corners of her mind
She thinks that really soon
She'll draw the silver spoon and throw away the plastic in her life
Working's such a drag it knocks her under
It's the only time of day that she don't like
Still she knows that really soon
She'll fall around the moon and echo with the laughter from both sides
And it seems so colder now Its like a twist of my emotions
Your oh so further now and so far away
It doesn't matter now she's gone and so has my devotion
I've seen the day, I've seen the day, I've seen the day
I know that I was thrown into the river
But every get together has its price
You see it wasn't much to pay now that I'm better off this way
I got really wet but I dried off really nice
And it seems so colder now Its like a twist of my emotions
Your oh so further now and so far away
It doesn't matter now she's gone and so has my devotion
I've seen the day, I've seen the day, I've seen the day
My Momma always said, she sad "Son you'll be lonely"
I didn't understand the words that she feels cos I was only seventeen
And then she called me up she made me feel a little more happy
Oh Momma where's your words that were sown?
It's bad enough that a boy like me could be grown out of sinking sand
And it seems so colder now Its like a twist of my emotions
Your oh so further now and so far away
It doesn't really matter now she's gone and so has my devotion
I've seen the day, I've seen the day, I've seen the day
I've seen the day, I've seen the day, I've seen the day

Floating In Space
03:47

There's a craft on the mantelpiece pointing up at Mars
Loaded with cosmic fuel to blast you to the stars
Strap yourself in it's 5,4,3,2,1
In the blink of an eye your world will be numb
We set off round the Milky Way once around Neptune
Racing through comet trails and howling at the Moon
Draco smiles as he melts into the Sun
The kaleidoscope turns our trip carries on
We go floating in space, in space
In space, in space
And if there's a dream there my friend will you answer it?
Let it take you from all sides and pulverise your tiny mind
Let it over awe and hypnotize
The lights and the colours and the shapes they bring
When Angels spread their wings
They'll turn around and you know something?
They'll burn you till your blind
We go floating in space, in space
In space, in space
We go floating in space, in space
In space, in space
