Lyrics:
I've never tried these reason my crest(?),
I got tired of those administrations caught
with their trousers down,
Yea poor fools just to exercise their intellect,
Power matters rift,
Looking for another kicker, yeah yeah.

You call me a fool when I laugh at you,
But how do you know you won't put me in
the drink,
And sit behind an empty glass.
How long must we show the world,
blah blah blah mumble mumble

Chorus
I'm a Wild Man, don't you know it,
I'm a Wild Man, don't you know it,
blah blah blah mumble mumble
I'm a Wild Man, don't you know it,
They can't capture me.
I'm a Wild Man, don't you know it?

I'm a Wild Man, don't you know it.

I think I'm going soul,
And I think I'm gonna retire,
mumble mumble mumble so terrified to see you.
At least inside mumble mumble mumble
An endless sea of misery,
With every single word of scripture, yeah yeah.

How do you know what to do,
When there's so sickness in the world?
How can you sleep when theres mumble mumble mumble
blah blah blah mumble mumble
blah blah blah mumble mumble
Divisionary policies.

Chorus
I'm a Wild Man, don't you know it,
I'm a Wild Man, don't you know it?

Lyrics:
Well I tried to settle down Fulham Broadway
And I tried to make my home in Golders Green
But I gotta get that train
And go back home again
Oh how I miss the folks back home in Willesden Green

You know, I tried, I really tried to settle in this big city
And I always thought I could make it all on my very own
But there's one thing that keeps calling me
To that little, that little semi-detached
That's the folks, yeah, the folks back home
In Willesden Green

Lyrics:
La-la-la-la...
Wonder boy, life's just begun.
Turn your sorrow into wonder
Dream alone, don't sigh, don't groan
Life is only what you wonder.
Day is as light as your brightest dreams,
Night is as dark as you feel it ought to be.
Time is as fast as the slowest thing,
Life is only...

Wonder boy,
Wonder boy.
Everybody is looking for the sun.
People strain their eyes to see,
But I see you and you see me,
And ain't that wonder?

Wonder boy, some mother's son,
Life is full of work and plunder[blunder?].
Easy go, life is not real,
Life is only what you conjure.

Wonder boy,
And the world is joy, every single day.
It's the real McCoy,
Wonder boy.
Everybody is looking for the sun.
People strain their eyes to see,
But I see you and you see me,
And ain't that wonder?

Wonder boy, some mother's son,
Turn your sorrow into wonder
Dream alone, go have your fun.
Life is only...
Life is only...
Life is only...

Lyrics:
Well I wonder where my baby is tonight
I wonder where my baby is tonight
I wonder where my baby's gone
Hope she'll do no wrong
Lookin' for my baby, she's not around
I wonder where my baby is tonight

I wonder what on Earth's my baby's doin'
If she's not at home there's trouble brewin'
If she really loves me she'll believe in what I say
Tryin' hard to find out where my baby is tonight
If she's not at home I'd better go

Well I only know I wanna see my baby
Went to call for her but she is gone right out of sight
Looking for my baby
She's not around
I wonder where my baby is tonight

Well I wonder where my baby is tonight
I wonder where my baby is tonight
I wonder where my baby's gone
Hope she'll do no wrong
Lookin' for my baby, she's not around
I wonder where my baby is tonight
I hope that everything's gonna be all right
Well I wonder where my baby is tonight

Word Of Mouth
Written by: Ray Davies

Published by: Davray Music, Ltd., 1984

Chord file
Lyrics:
I've been trying to get a message to you,
But the operator can't put me through,
Because the vandals went and wrecked all the telephones.
And all my enemies are spreading bad news,
You won't call me, that's why I'm calling you,
To put you straight about the rumors they're spreading about me back home.

I should have known, sooner or later,
You'd get the news, sooner or later,
The word of mouth will get right back to you.

Somehow we lost communication,
My only chance in my situation,
Is that the word of mouth gets my message through.

The word of mouth,
The word of mouth,
But who are they to say the things they do?

The word of mouth says that I've gone insane,
That wine and women have affected my brain.
Well who's the big mouth spreading the news again?
The word of mouth says I'm round the bend,
It's all over, this is the end.
Exaggeration sure gets the better of people who send[?].

The word of mouth,
The word of mouth,
But who are they to say the things they do?

The word of mouth said I should be put in my place.
The word is out I'm in disgrace -- a waste of space.
But if they say it, say it to my face.

People talking, trying to dig up the dirt,
There are so many lies around.
They spread their gossip and the rumors around this town.

Word of mouth, face to face,
My word of mouth has stated my case,
And I'm saying I'm coming back home to you.

You should have know sooner or later,
You'd get the news sooner or later,
The word of mouth will get right back to you.

The word of mouth,
Shut your mouth,
Shut your face!

Working At The Factory

Lyrics:
All my life, I've been a workin' man
When I was at school they said that's all you'll ever understand
No profession, I didn't figure in their plans
So they sent me down the factory to be a workin' man

All I lived for, all I lived for
All I lived for was to get out of the factory
Now I'm here seemingly free, but working at the factory

Then music came along and gave new life to me
And gave me hope back in 1963
The music came and set me free
From working at the factory

All I lived for, all I lived for
Was to get out of the factory
All I lived for, all I lived for
Was to get out of the factory

Never wanted to be like everybody else
But now there are so many like me sitting on the shelf
They sold us a dream but in reality
It was just another factory
I made the music, thought that it was mine
It made me free, but that was in another time
But then the corporations and the big combines
Turned musicians into factory workers on assembly lines

All we live for, all we live for
All we live for is to get out of the factory
We made the music to set ourselves free
From working at the factory

All my life I've put in a working day
Now it's sign the contract, get production on the way

Take the money, make the music pay
Working at the factory
All I lived for was to get out of the factory

Never wanted to be like everybody else
But now there are so many like me sitting on the shelf
They sold us a dream that in reality
Was just another factory

The World Is Changing Hands

Lyrics:
There is a war going on,
A Spiritual change,
There is a world going wrong,
Don't ya wanna run away and hide,
And it seems so hard.

We're on a psychic battlefield,
Fighting for our souls,
To make us free,
You and me.

Chorus
The world is changing hands,
There will be a bright tomorrow,
The world is in our hands,
We are Spirit,
We are free.

Repeat

There is a world going on,
And it won't go away,
There is a love going on,
That's stronger than all these silly words
I say,
Yes it's true.

Think of the most selfless thing to be,
Send it,
To the whole humanity,
You and me.

Chorus
The world is changing hands,
There will be a bright tomorrow,
The world is in our hands,
We are Spirit,
We are free.

The World Keeps Going Round

Lyrics:
You worry 'bout the sun
What's the use of worrying 'bout the big ol' sun
You worry 'bout the rain
The rain keeps falling just the same
You worry when the one you need has found somebody new

But the world keeps going round
The world keeps going round
You just can't stop it
The world keeps going round

You worry 'bout yourself
What's the use of worrying now you're almost grown
You worry 'bout your own
What's the use of worrying 'cause you'll die alone
Times will be hard, rain will fall
And you'll feel mighty low

But the world keeps going round
The world keeps going round
You just can't stop it
The world keeps going round

Times will be hard, rain will fall
And you'll feel mighty low

But the world keeps going round
The world keeps going round
The world keeps going round
The world keeps going round
You just can't stop it
The world keeps going round
The world keeps going round

World Of Our Own
Written by: D.R.G. Davies

Published by: DABE Music Limited, London, 1981

Lyrics:
Ooh, you're a mirror,
And all those feelings inside you,
Oh they're not all your own,
Ooh, I see clearer,
All your thoughts are so close,
I can't make it on my own.

I see all you really are,
And it's not so very far,
No need to feel ashamed,
Together we'll rearrange,
A path of our own,
All that's true never dies,
In a world of our own,
Each child a star for his own.

Ooh, my love's getting stronger,
And though we are asleep,
My heart it will not wait,
Ooh, you feel so much closer to me now,
If I could reach out and touch you,
And hold you in my arms.

It's goodbye to yesterday,
No time to run away,
It's getting closer to the day,
And it's not so far away,
No need to run and hide,
Trust what you feel inside.

Chorus: Build a world of our own,
All that's true never dies,
Oh, in a world of our own,
Each child a star for his own,
Oh, in a world of our own,
All that's true will survive,
We'll make a world of our own.

X-Ray
Written by: Ray Davies

Published by: ?

Chord file
Lyrics:
Don't be fooled by appearances,
it only shows what the world already knows
Don't rely on the physical evidence
of what the x-ray pictures show
Because inside every straight upright citizen a tormented
emotionally impaired psycologically damaged personality resides
And beside every crooked man stands an angel with wings
and the spirit can do truly wonderous things

As I watch the hump-backed man hobble down the high street
I say a silent prayer for myself
I was taken to the local doctor
for a consultation about my physical health
I heard him ask about my family - history
"You see, Mrs. Davies, it might be hereditary. Yes it might"
Maybe think about my family, 'cause socially could be
"You were a physical deformity"

'Cos the world only sees what it believes and is revealed in the x-ray
It only knows what it knows, photographs, video and the printed word
Yes/But there is more in this heaven on earth
than (what)/(what those scientists now and) is revealed on/in the x-ray

Ev'ry morning I got up and looked in the mirror to see if the hump had
appeared on my back. To my disappointment I was not a freak.
You see, maybe there'd be side benefits to become in a cripple,
side benefits like prioroty seating at football matches. And I thought
"If I'm gonna be a cripple, I'll go all the way"

They could photograph reality,
but they can't picture your fantasy
'Cos the world only sees what it believes and is revealed in the x-ray
It only knows what it knows, photographs, video and the printed word
Yes/But there is more in this heaven on earth
than (what)/(what those scientists now and) is revealed on/in the x-ray

'Cos the world only sees what it believes and is revealed in the x-ray
It only knows what it knows, photographs, video and the printed word
Yes/But there is more in this heaven on earth
than (what)/(what those scientists now and) is revealed on/in the x-ray
