A Dozen Of Me
02:57

You wake up in the morning and I've gone
Would you feel so all alone
Or would you breathe a sigh of relief
That I've gone
I wake up in the morning and I see
A fraction of the man I used to be
Work it out mathematically
You must be worth at least a dozen of me
Don't you see
You wake up in the morning and I'm here
Stinking of cigarettes and beer
Are you telling me, you like what you see
Tell me do you
Work it out mathematically
You must be worth at least a dozen of me
Anyone can see
Oh the years have not been kind to me
Where as you're still incredibly pretty
Work it out mathematically
You must be worth at least a dozen of me
And that really don't sit well with me, not at all
You wake up in the morning and I've gone
Would you feel so all alone
Or would you breathe a sigh of relief
That I've Gone
That I've Gone
That I've Gone
Oh that I've gone

Clouds Behind The Moon
04:05
|

|
We were thirteen I was seven days older than you
Remember the day when your brother first played us The Who
With two jacks in the walkman for the rest of the week we bunked school
And none of this mattered then
We'd stay out as the days turned to night
You'd gaze at the stars
While I'd look for the clouds behind the moon
First we tried weed then we drank and took speed like you do
Then as we got older we would hang out in clubs with a crew
They'd kick out at 3 in the morning, we'd still be looking for something to do
And none of this mattered then
We'd stay out for the rest of the night
You'd gaze at the stars
While I'd look for the clouds behind the moon
No none of this mattered then
We'd stay out for the rest of the night
You'd gaze at the stars
While I'd look for the clouds behind the moon
Don't be afraid of your freedom the DJ would play
But if we wanna be free to do what we want to do well I say
Be very afraid of your freedom and fuckers who want to take it away
30 days on now and I'm seven days older than you
And you no longer respect my right to think different to you
Is this how it has to end
Everyone being forced to take sides
Can't you just gaze at the stars
While I look for the clouds behind the moon
No none of this mattered then
We'd stay out as the days turned to night
You'd gaze at the stars
While I'd look for the clouds behind the moon
Don't Get Fooled again
Don't Get Fooled again
Don't Get Fooled again
We wont Get Fooled again

Erica remember when they said that it couldn't be
This never was a place for people like you and me
Erica remember when they laughed and said it wouldn't last
But now we're here let's try and leave that in the past
I'd like to think as years have gone
That time has been a healer so let's try
And meet with some old faces
We can chat and smile politely
We wont stay for long, because we don't belong here
We wont stay for long, because we don't belong here
We wont stay for long, because we don't belong here
Erica remember when we said we were gone for good
But now we're here again back in the neighbourhood
Although this town will never change
it's nice to think that sometimes people can
so let's go and show our faces
then we can leave it all behind us
We wont stay for long, because we don't belong here
We wont stay for long, because we don't belong here
We wont stay for long, because we don't belong here
I'd like to think as years have gone
That time has been a healer so let's try
And meet with some old faces
We can chat and smile politely
We wont stay for long, because we don't belong here
We wont stay for long, because we don't belong here
We wont stay for long, because we don't belong here
We wont stay for long, because we don't belong here
We wont stay for long, because we don't belong here
We wont stay for long, because we don't belong here...

Going For A Song
03:29

I know where there’s a love song going for a love song going for a song
It’s a funny little tune sung a little out of tune but it’s as honest as the day is long
Ah but the days they don’t seem so long these days and the good old days have said so long.
Oh but I know where there’s a love song going for a song
I know where there’s a love song going for a love song going for a song
It’s a funny little rhyme sung a little out of time but it’s as honest as the day is long
Ah but the days they don’t seem so long these days and the good old days have said so long
Ah but I know where there’s a love song going for a song
Sometimes it’s impossible to know
The right Time to sing along
Or swap the verse with another song
But sometimes you just know
I know where there’s a love song going for a love song going for a song
It’s a funny little tune sung a little out of tune but it’s as honest as the day is long
Ah but the days they don’t seem so long these days and the good old days have said so long
Ah but I know where there’s a love song going for a song
Sometimes it’s impossible to know
The right time to sing along
Or swap the verse with another song
But sometimes you just know
Sing me a love song
Sing me a love song
Sing me a love song
Ah but I know where there’s a love song going for a song
I know where there’s a love song going for a love song going for a song
It’s a funny little tune sung a little out of tune but it’s as honest as the day is long
Ah but the days they don’t seem so long these days and the good old days have said so long
Ah but I know where there’s a love song going for a song

The One Love Generation
04:11
|

We are the one love generation
I've sang these songs with you
We all talk the one love talk
Now it's time to walk the one love walk
and realise it's not what we sing, it's what we do
Imagine all the people
He made it look easy when he tried
War is over if you want it
But if you want it, then people, don't take sides
We are the one love generation
I've sang these songs with you
We all talk the one love talk
Now it's time to walk the one love walk
and realise it's not what we sing, it's what we do
Some might say it's not my place to quote Bob Marley
I'd like to think he'd disagree
and say it's really no more wrong than when any man sings songs of redemption...
when he has no intention to get up stand up for his right to be free
We are the one love generation
I've sang these songs with you
We all talk the one love talk
Now it's time to walk the one love walk
and realise it's not what we sing, it's what we do
Unite... Feels Right
Unite... Feels Right
Unite... Feels Right
Fuck you I won't do what you tell me
I've sang this song a thousand times
But when we sing these songs and just go along
with what we know deep down inside is wrong
well then the soundtrack to our lives is just words and rhymes
Well then the soundtrack to our lives is just words and rhymes
We are the one love generation
I've sang these songs with you
We all talk the one love talk
Now it's time to walk the one love walk
and realise it's not what we sing, it's what we do

Kiss me darling, well maybe not then
I'm not sure what I'm supposed to have done
Now you're crying, you know I'm trying
And I've a feeling that this could be the one
And if this comes off, if this comes off, if this comes off
This could be our way out of here
This could be our way out of here
This could be our way out of here
If this comes off
*Don't know what you're up to, don't think I want to
*But 'least I know you can't make things much worse
I'll be off then, I'll see you later...
*Not if I see you first
But if this comes off, if this comes off, if this comes off
This could be our way out of here
This could be our way out of here
This could be our way out of here
If this comes off
*I've heard it all before,
*but lady luck won't come knocking on our door
One more chance that's all I'm asking, that's all I'm asking
*You're a dickhead, but you're my dickhead
*And let's face it now you're all that I've got
And girlfriend if this dont come through
I need you to know that I love you, I love you
*But you never know,
If this comes off, *if unbelievably so
If this comes off, *no you never know
**If this comes off
**This could be our way out of here
**This could be our way out of here
**This could be our way out of here
repeat

We might not change the world the way we'd hoped we would
but we're here and you must admit it's a little bit of a miracle
that we're here
Yeah you must admit it's a little bit of a miracle
You must admit it's a little bit of a miracle
You must admit it's a little bit of a miracle
You must admit it's a little bit of a miracle that we're here Oh Yeah!
The mark we've made in time might fade but for now
It's incredible but we're here God knows how
And you must admit it's a little bit of a miracle
You must admit it's a little bit of a miracle
You must admit it's a little bit of a miracle
You must admit it's a little bit of a miracle that we're here Oh Yeah
It's a miracle that we're here Oh Yeah
Unbelievable that we're here Oh Yeah
Define a miracle, something improbable, something divine
Somewhat illogical but oh so magical and so wonderful Oh..
You must admit it's a little bit of a miracle
You must admit it's a little bit of a miracle
You must admit it's a little bit of a miracle
You must admit it's a little bit of a miracle that we're here Oh Yeah
It's a miracle that we're here Oh Yeah
Unbelievable that we're here Oh Yeah
It's a miracle that we're here Oh Yeah
Pour yourself a drink tonight 'cause you're here
And bid farewell to today 'cause tomorrow is the big one
Pour yourself a drink tonight 'cause you're here
And bid farewell to today 'cause tomorrow is the big one
Pour yourself a drink tonight 'cause you're here
And bid farewell to today 'cause tomorrow is the big one
Pour yourself a drink tonight 'cause you're here
And bid farewell to today 'cause tomorrow is the big one
Let's all have a drink tonight 'cause we're here
And bid farewell to today 'cause tomorrow is the big one
And bid farewell to today 'cause tomorrow is the big one

Why’s someone so beautiful talking to me
I just don't see
'Cause things like this just don’t happen to me
I know I must not get ahead of myself but for goodness sake
She’s talking to me
Why’s someone so magical holding my hand
I don’t understand
because things like this just don’t happen to me
I know I must not get ahead of myself but for goodness sake
she’s holding my hand
Yeah yeah yeah cause things like this just don’t happen to me
I know I must not get ahead of myself but for goodness sake..
Why’s someone so wonderful standing with me
just glancing at me as she’s asked to state
do you take this man
Ohhh I’ll not forget when she answered yes for the love of…
the heavens above, the wind and the rain have mercy
Oh I can’t believe that something like this for goodness sake
could happen to me.
You know things like this, you know they just don’t happen to me no..
they just don’t happen to me no..
Things like this they just don’t happen to me.
