In this life We always seem to find Some are fine While others are left behind There's always funds for war Never any for the poor Love will save the day if we choose to do what is always right There's no other way for you to lay your head and sleep at night I don't know about you but I feel that this is the only way And love will save the day Love will save the day In this world No one is better than anyone Boys and girls Need to be taught that we are one Together we can get so much done Love will save the day if we choose to do what is always right There's no other way for you to lay your head and sleep at night I don't know about you but I feel that this is the only way And love will save the day Love will save the day

Being with you is where I wanna be I see within myself things I see in you So when I say I need some time for me To let me be, why d'you find it hard to do? Why won't you leave me alone I just wanna sing my song Why won't you leave me alone I just wanna sing my song Cruisin' on a Sunday afternoon In my V6 silver car Innocently, I might hit 92 Bring the attention of a pesky radar Why won't they leave me alone I just wanna sing my song Why won't they leave me alone I just wanna sing my song Why won't they leave me alone I just wanna sing my song Why won't they leave me alone I just wanna sing my song Why won't they leave me alone I just wanna sing my song Why won't they leave me alone I just wanna sing my song

I catch the train In the mornin rain In the gloomy murk I go to work I get so bored I dream of chords The day's so long It ends all wrong I know all about pain I'm not sacred I'm profane These things have always been the same So don't let me tell you again I went to school And learnt the rules How to obey Not misbehave I was programmed To pass exams All I was given To serve the system I know all about pain I'm not sacred I'm profane These things have always been the same So don't let me tell you again And love we don't know we don't know Feelings they don't show they don't show And love we just don't know I know all about pain I'm not sacred I'm profane These things have always been the same So don't let me tell you again

You and me, we're not together Can't touch can't see, this so-called treasure If you look you'll find it's for real Ain't that just the way I feel It doesn't glitter but it's gold If you take your mind away from the load Neil Young said "I'm getting old" I just wanna drive on down the road I ask you when you say whenever There's still something you can't measure The mist and fog I can see through The shiny metal, that's me and you It doesn't glitter but it's gold If you take your mind away from the load Neil Young said "I'm getting old" I just wanna drive on down the road You and me, we'll be together Live where the summer lasts forever Sit on the front porch and sing my song A life in paradise where we belong It doesn't glitter but it's gold If you take your mind away from the load Neil Young sang "I'm getting old" I just wanna drive on down the road It doesn't glitter It doesn't glitter It doesn't glitter but it's gold I just wanna drive on down the road

She sounds like a nightingale I never knew her all that well She used to live near me 'til a move to Battersea If I think of all the things That I did wrong It wouldn't take much to see To me you should belong If I knew then what I know now You would be mine, there's no doubt If I knew then what I know now You would be mine, there's no doubt I heard she's seen Neil Diamond And the Puerto Rico island My life's like a comic strip I'm at the dock now where's my ship? If I had only been here earlier, I'd have more time To put in place the plans I'd need to make you mine If I knew then what I know now You would be mine, there's no doubt And if I knew then what I know now You would be mine, there's no doubt

I'm just an average man With no unusual plan My life's pretty plain you see No big mystery Tell me now am I losing it? Paranoid, just a little bit Could it be something in my mind? Tell me why is that I find When I'm at home on my own I don't feel alone when I'm at home I know I'm never alone I'm not often on the phone And rarely on it on the streets I roam My friends call, arrange for drinks at 9 Go on Facebook, see an advert for wine Tell me now am I losing it? Paranoid, just a little bit Could it be something in my mind? Tell me why is that I find Are 5 eyes always watching me? Tell me now what is it they see? Are all ghosts always digital? Do I make sense at all? When I'm at home on my own I don't feel alone when I'm at home I know I'm never alone You like this song But I don't know what's going on when I'm at home I know I'm never alone

I ain’t done nothing wrong So why can’t we get along? Life is hard to understand Very little works out as planned Done nothing bad particularly I’ve been as good as can be There’s nothing written on my face Don’t even look at me sideways I ain’t done nothing wrong So why can’t we get along? I’ve been as good as can be So why does this keep happening to me? You always make me pay For the things I want to say No freedom to express All the thoughts that I possess If at first you don’t succeed Just redefine what that means If I dare look up and grin I slip on a banana skin I ain’t done nothing wrong So why can’t we get along? I’ve been as good as can be So why does this keep happening to me? I ain’t done nothing wrong So why can’t we get along? I’ve been as good as can be So why does this keep happening to me?

I've been condemned Even though I've made amends No reason to pretend For me it looks like the end Never in my life have I felt so all alone But he who has no sin can cast the first stone There's always something you should know When you're on death row Everybody's true colours are on show When you're on death row There'll be no suicide, I've still got my pride It's clear in my mind, who's on who's side Out in the garden I was sold out with a kiss So rare in this world this thing called justice There's always something you should know When you're on death row Everybody's true colours are on show When you're on death row I agree with Amnesty We gotta remove this inhumane death penalty In your next life you'll see what this feels like What you've done on this trip, we'll see how you find it Never in my life have I felt so all alone But she who has no sin can cast the first stone There's always something you should know When you're on death row Everybody's true colours are on show When you're on death row

Pulled outta Basingstoke I was feeling 'bout half past broke Walked past an old man That's when he turned and spoke He said "ain't it crazy how there always seems to be a war? Especially when it's not what the people want or asked for" And in the White House and Downing Street there are psychopaths If you look into their eyes, it's empathy they lack On top of this you know we've still got kings and queens It's enough to make you wanna scream and sing I am a man Driven mad by the state of the planet And I feel and it's real I wanna see those criminals vanish Yeah I wanna see those criminals vanish Yeah Something's about to give I can feel it under my skin I'm not afraid to live That's why I try and sing Knowing by to my table my family has just begun My own high sanctuary, my time in the sun And in the White House and Downing Street are psychopaths If you look into their eyes, it's empathy they lack And on top of this we've still got queens and kings It's enough to make you wanna scream and sing I am a man Driven mad by the state of the planet And I feel it's real I wanna see these criminals vanish I am a man Driven mad by the state of the planet And I feel it's real I wanna see these criminals vanish Yeah yeah I wanna see those criminals vanish Yeah I'm a man I'm a man I'm a man I'm a man

I don't shop at Marks & Sparks And I'm an owl and not a lark I feel alive when it's night. Don't function during the day Mornings should be banned anyway Dictators like things on time Between my flat and my life Can't decide which is the bigger mess It'll take so long to get over the stress I can't seem to go to sleep And I don't even want to eat I've aged ten years in one week And I've been on a losing streak But the earth belongs to those who are meek I've aged ten years in one week Been working for The Man since birth On treadmill planet Earth And there's no sign of a rise Hand me down and pick me up My tongue's tied, my feet are stuck I'm outta here Stuff the wise guy It's the same old same old It's stuck on loop mode Build me a time machine with a secret code Yeah! I can't seem to go to sleep And I don't even want to eat I've aged ten years in one week And I've been on a losing streak But the earth belongs to those who are meek I've aged ten years in one week And I'd be happy at 93 But I feel older than I'll ever be I've aged ten years in one week And I've been on a losing streak But the earth belongs to those who are meek I've aged ten years in one week

Time goes, racing along So much has gone wrong Holding on, waiting to see The next catastrophe Sometimes it happens to you Something good comes out of the blue Up and down and side to side In time I think you'll find All your life's a test Not much time to rest All your life's a test Not much time to rest Love lost such a cost Dreams battered, blown and tossed Rat racing round and round Nose diving to the ground But then you might acquire Some things that you desire Up and down and side to side In time I think you'll find All your life's a test Not much time to rest All your life's a test Not much time to rest Is someone getting the best Of you and your success? All your life's a test Not much time, not much time No one said it would be easy or free If anyone has some cheat codes Give them to me All your life's a test Not much time to rest All your life's a test Not much time to rest Is someone getting the best Of you and your success? All your life's a test Not much time, not much time!
