Penny Pinching Rainy Heaven Days Lyrics

Every morning traffic
Every night I've had enough
Every day compromise
Life's no surprise after much

'Someday people' lock themselves away
Saving up for another empty
Penny pinching rainy heaven day

No-one talks at night
They scream and fight and say too much
My wife dreams all day
My life says it has heard enough

Rainy heaven days...

Policeman Pirates Lyrics

The house caught on fire in the winter

the bosses lay slain

and each of the workers decided to ten-fold their pay

and they saw in the mirror the sun had been shot down in flames

and nobody minded the hole in the sky or the rain

but it doesn't really matter when the judgements are said

'cos we all take our chances to find out romance is in some others bed

and you might burn your fingers hock your best rings for those

who'd have you standing naked then publicly auction the use of a hose

all the children were laughing their faces in half at the pain

of the girl who loved talking to walls and jumping at trains

and the words that ring true in the playground of fools will remain

and nobody minded the hole in the sky or the rain

but it doesn't really matter when the rights have been read

'cos we all take our chances to glance at the wife in the opposite bed

and I bet Nero and Pilate could easily explain

how policemen & pirates get stoned in glass houses just finding their way.

Profit In Peace Lyrics

Ocean Colour Scene
Profit In Peace



All the people under broken homes
Dont wanna fight no more
All the people nursing shattered bones
Dont wanna fight no more
But theres no profit in peace
So we've gotta fight some more

And all these who are in foreign lands
Dont wanna fight no more
And all those those lost their feet or hands
Dont wanna fight no more
But there's no profit in peace boys
We gotta fight some more

Hey we dont fight no more
Hey, Hey, Hey, We dont wanna fight no more
But theres no profit in peace
So we gotta fight some more

And all those just trying toplay their part
Dont wanna fight no more
And all those who own a human heart
Dont wanna fight no more
But there's no profit in what you want
So we must fight some more

And all those who got an axe to grind down
Dont wanna fight no more
And all those who got their burning lives
Dont wanna fight no more
But theres no profit in ever being right
So we must fight some more

Chorus

And all the people under broken homes
Dont wanna fight no more
All the people nursing shattered bones
Dont wanna fight no more
But there is profit in the land you own
So we must fight some more

And all those who got a tired face
Dont wanna fight no more
And all those who are lost without a trace
Dont wanna fight no more
But there is profit in the love of hate
So we must fight some more

 Riverboat Song Lyrics

I see double up ahead

Where the riverboat swayed beneath the sun

Is where the river runs red

Like a King who stalks the wings and shoots a dove

And frees an eagle instead

It's more or less the same as the things that you said



I see trouble up the road

Like the things you found in love are by the way

And like to cheat on your soul

Like the best and worst of thoughts that lose control

Before you lie on your bed



It's more or less the same as the things that you said

Anyway for all the things you know tell me why does the river not flow

Anyway for all the things you said tell me why does the river run red

Anyway for all the things you've seen tell me when will the river run green

And anyway for all the things you know tell me why does the river not flow



It's more or less the things you fail to say in your way that's your trouble

Like a King who stalks the wings and shoots the moon and the stars

And his double

It's more or less the same as the things that you said

I see trouble up ahead

Where the river boat swayed beneath the sun

Is where the river runs red

I see double - that's my trouble

Robin Hood Lyrics

When you're starting to choke take some pills with your coke
It's inspirational
When you're life is a mess light one more cigarette
It's so logical

Well it's something your mother can't abide
But it's something that i freely prescribe
Take yourself for a ride
It never felt so good
As the night that you and i played Robin Hood
Stealing from the backrooms of our minds
Remembering a time when we were five
A time i thought we'd left behind

When you're starting to cry
I'll come and sit by my side
And I will love you so
When the nightmares come
I will try to be fun, even though;
I'm so scared you know

Well it's something your mother can't abide
But it's something that i freely prescribe
Take yourself for a ride
It never felt so good
As the night that you and i played Robin Hood
Stealing from the backrooms of our minds
Stealing from a time when we were five
A time i thought we'd left behind
Stealing from the backrooms of our minds
Stealing from a time when we were five
A time i thought we'd left behind

When you're starting to choke take some pills with your coke
It's hysterical

Sail On My Boat Lyrics

I'm gonna sail on my boat and keep it afloat forever
Nobody's gonna tell me how it won't stay together
I got a waiting ticket won't you sail it
Nobody's who's staying asleep knows what I'm saying

I'm gonna throw out a rope and keep it afloat it's granted
?????? independence
I'm gonna wake and take us all to where oh
Nobody's gonna talk me down by stormy weather

Got to sail my boat
Got to keep afloat
I get the need to keep on when I'm sailing

I'll sail across don't make it a choice I'll plan it
Nobody ever thought you wouldn't take you for granted
I'll tie the ropes that keep me afloat and sailing
Nobody ever taught me teach what I'm playing

Gonna lift up my voice and sing you a song romantic
??????? independence

Repeat Chorus

Hold on in love take it to where you never
Nobody's gonna tell me how it won't stay together
I've got a freedom ticket lets go sailing
Nobody's who's staying asleep knows what I'm saying

Repeat Chorus twice

 Second Hand Car Lyrics

In a second hand car you ran away with him

You did'nt get too far before he made you cry

And he beat on you - Oh he never treated you

More something on his shoe walk on by - on by



Its time - time to run away from him

A man don't act that way and you know he'll never change



Its a way to love - knocked down and bruises too

And its a way for him to knock down and use you

I'll send a ticket to you - I'll send the fare to you

I'll say a prayer for you - and it makes me cry - me cry



Its time - time to run away from him

A man don't act that way and you know he'll never change

It's time - time for you to come on home

But the world don't seem that way and you know it'll never change

Never change, never change



It's such a rare report - she got lost on him

I get lost in thought - hope she walks on by

I'll make the time to give - If you don't give a damn

We'll make a home and live

Without you and we can



Repeat Chorus



On and On and On and On

On and On and On and On

On and On and On and On

On and On and On and On

 So Low Lyrics

If anyone rises at 6.31
and fakes all day that
they're having their fun
havinthey never did get it right
since they got it so low

To anyone drinking the morning away
the afternoon will prove a mistake
they never will get it right
since we got it so low

And we laugh and we drink
and we teach ourselves not to think
we never did get it right
since we got it so low

To all of the faces that
freeze for you there
in your memory when you try not to care
they never disappear down the slow road

For all of those people
who bleed by the side
and split from their tongues
and sharpen their knives
they never will get a life now
they've got it so low

And we laugh and we drink
and we teach ourselves not to think
we never did get it right
since we got it so low

Cornfields and pig-tails and
fish in the stream
the night when the boys stole
a billion dollar dream
from the high jinx school
for girls down the road

Stories and smoke trails
and some may be true
you're listening to me
but im talking to you
i hope you never fall from grace
if you get it so low

And we laugh and we drink
and we teach ourselves not to think
we never did get it right
since we got it so low

And we laugh and we drink
and we find it hard not to think
we never did get it right
since we got it so low

never did get it right
since we got it so low

Something For Me Lyrics

You were arriving
Of this I'm sure
You were just hiding all around your door

That would be telling
And it's not for free
You're all the rage when you're out with me

Gotta do something
Something for free
Gotta do something for me
It ain't complaining
Ah just you see
Gotta do something for me

You won't be foolish
Of this I'm sure
But I'm feeling used when I'm round your door

That ain't complaining
Ah just you see
You're like the same when it's not for me

Repeat Chorus

 Song For The Front Row Lyrics

These are the best times
That you'll ever have
Don't throw it away because
You're younger that he is

He's your father
And he'll help you
If you give him
He's your father
He'll deserve you
If you give him time

These are the best times
So we'll march in time
The sun is too ripe to let
The moon shine on your eyes

Repeat Chorus

These are the straight ways
Don't make it long
Don't get yourself lost because
You're following someone else's song

Repeat Chorus
