So you think that you’ve got to be at the top of the monkey tree Have a go ‘cause it ain’t that tough if you’re lies get big enough You shouldn’t tell me anything that’s not the truth I might not like you anymore So you lie and you lie and you keep on lying to me What a lie, what a lie I can tell when you lie so I say Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Itch my chin Do you think that you’ll ever be a bigger man or better than me? If you make up all this stuff, I don’t care you can go get stuffed You thought that you could get away with everything I didn’t like you anyway So you lie and you lie and you keep on lying to me What a lie, what a lie I can tell when you lie so I say Why’d you lie? Big fat liar Solo You’ll just get caught out in the end And find it’s something you regret I think that it is time ‘cause you have crossed the line Are you a liar or a friend? So you think that you’re gonna be at the top of the monkey tree If you make up all this stuff and your lies get big enough You thought that you could get away with everything I didn’t like you anyway So you lie and you lie and you keep on lying to me What a lie, what a lie I can tell when you lie so I say Yeah you lie and you lie and you keep on lying to me What a lie, what a lie I can tell when you lie so I say Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm Chinny chin Why’d you lie?

Flying backwards through the air Feel the wind rush through my hair Gazing up into the sky Small reflection in my eye I don’t care just where I’m going wrong Wave my arms and sing a happy song Swinging round from tree to tree I’m so happy I can’t see I’m a robot in the sky Till I fall then no one flies Chorus Solo Chorus
3.
I fall down, scrape my knee Jump straight back to my feet I will find the strength to carry on I have to make you see Just what you mean to me I will brighten up your dullest day When you cry I’ll wipe away your tears Hold you long into the night If you fall, you’ll fall into my arms I will help you cross the great divide The great divide Lamp like glow of your smile Gaze on it for a while You set my heart on fire when you arrive Chorus If you’re looking for a friend I’ll stick with you till the end I will be there at your side Help you cross the great divide The great divide Ooh

One day I’m going to go away And take an extended holiday But I never seem to find the time I always have to stay behind but I know One day I’m going to go away One day I’m going to sail a ship Into the sea and let it drift With my compass that is pointing south Maybe it’s because my name is Ralph I’m Ralph Mouth One day I’m going to take a trip Instrumental One day I’m going to jump a train And take it all the way to Spain Where the oranges are always free Step out in the sun and get a nice red sun burn One day I’m going to go away
5.
All roads will lead me to you To turn into dust and out of view And when it comes I swear I won’t be scared I won’t be scared These roads are winding and new I’ll follow them wholly and true I’d love to take them everywhere they go To where they go It’s the way I’m feeling lately It’s just the way I’m feeling lately It’s the way I’m feeling lately Down, down, down, down, down I hear the word coming through Kick out the old here’s the new To have the truth and hold it in our hands Then it began Chorus Looking to the light Searching for a dream Flashed across my eyes Started making sense to me All roads will lead me to you All roads will lead me to you All roads will lead me to you All roads will lead me to you

Woke up this morning Looked to the sunrise Time’s like a freight train Passes so quickly It would be simple It would be easy If you would give me your love Sat at the table Thinking things over Nothing is the same Everything’s changing I would be ok I would be alright If you would give me your love For your love, for your love For your love, for your love Your love, your love Tears in your minds eye Makes things distorted Climbed to a great height Now we are falling Things would be ok Things would be just fine If you would give me your love Chorus Instrumental Chorus x 2
7.
Something’s getting up my nose and make me sneeze Sometimes everyone’s so very hard to please Do that drunken swagger stomp Sing that little song and we’ll all dance People realise we’re just like flies People realise we’ll live and die I can see you don’t look that happy when you’re down I can be anything you want that’s not around Do that drunken swagger stomp Try to right the wrong it’s your best chance People realise we’re just like flies People realise we’ll live and die Instrumental Do that drunken swagger stomp Try to right the wrong it’s your best chance People realise we’re just like flies People realise we’ll live and die So live for Just live for Yeah live for Just live for love

Long ago I don’t know when You was Dracula I was Tarzan I saw you all come to life In this world you’re all around me I have been told the man upstairs knows all This hurts so bad So I think he should tell me Why do we have to grow old? Why do we have to leave home? It shouldn’t have to be this way I’m hoping that we’ll meet again Dreams float like clouds in the sky Tried to touch them they were too high I have been told The man upstairs knows all This hurts so bad So I think he should tell me Why do we have to grow old? Why do we have to leave home? It shouldn’t have to be this way I’m hoping that we’ll meet again Instrumental Why do we have to grow old? Why do we have to leave home? It shouldn’t have to be this way I’m hoping that we’ll meet again
9.
I want to go to a little place in the middle of the world Where everybody looks at me the way that you do And when I’m caught in your clear blue eyes I’m in another place I’m humbled by your grace and all the things that you do When we met I was a stray But you showed me that there was another way Now our footsteps always rhyme Our lives became entwined I guess it was a sign Chorus Late at night when I’m asleep You will come to me invading all my dreams When I wake you’re by my side It makes me want to smile ‘Cause I’m so glad you’re mine Chorus Instrumental Chorus
10.
Something’s gone and changed It’s not like yesterday I won’t be the one to take the blame Ran away from work My job was like a curse Jumped into my car and hit reverse Now the nights are drawing in and it is getting colder But the memory remains Of the summertime when we just sat round being lazy I wish we had another day Where did it go wrong? I blinked and it was gone Left me with this summer twilight song Time to rearrange It’s abstract and it’s strange Put another picture in the frame Now the nights are drawing in and it is getting colder But the memory remains Of the summertime when we just sat round being lazy I wish we had another day Solo Now the nights are drawing in and it is getting colder But the memory remains Of the summertime when we just sat round being lazy I wish we had another day Just a day Oh a day Yeah a day
11.
What a waste, what a waste, what a waste of time How we spend, how we spend, how we spend our lives Get a house, buy a dog, tell the kids not to fight Now you got, now you got, now you got it made But you’re still, but you’re still, but you’re still afraid Watch the clock as the seconds tick away There’s just one problem It’s not my trip There’s just one problem baby Can you hear, can you hear, can you hear that sound As the kids, as the kids, as the kids freak out Hit the switch, pull the cord and we’re going down There’s just one problem It’s not my trip There’s just one problem baby There’s just one problem It’s not my trip There’s just one problem baby Solo There’s just one problem It’s not my trip There’s just one problem baby There’s just one problem It’s not my trip There’s just one problem baby
12.
You CHASE THE DRAGON but you can’t keep up with it It’s out of reach even if you jump for it You’ve got a lot of friends Fair weather friends You spend your whole time chasing after it Until you see that your life’s turned into SHIT You wasted all your time All your PRECIOUS TIME I’ll see you after the war I heard they AMPUTED your SOUL Your SHELLSHOCKED bones say it all You woke up late in the day And found your life SLIPPING AWAY You lose a little piece everyday You’ve got to stop SLIPPING AWAY You grew up DREAMING of CELEBRITY You wound up WORKING in a FACTORY It didn’t go to plan So what’s your BLOODY plan? To drown yourself in a pool of self pity As wide and vast as the oceans and the sea It’ll claim your soul Claim your WRETCHED SOUL But if you LIVE THROUGH THE WAR I hope you find that you can grow A little seed placed in your soul You’ve got to see through them all To stop your life SLIPPING AWAY You lose a little piece everyday You’ve got to stop SLIPPING AWAY Instrumental But if you LIVE THROUGH THE WAR I hope you find that you can grow A little seed placed in your soul You’ve got to see through it all To stop your life SLIPPING AWAY You lose a little piece everyday You’ve got to stop SLIPPING AWAY You’ve got to stop SLIPPING AWAY

Yes it is hard when you hate yourself Oh yes it’s hard when you hate yourself Oh yes it’s hard when you hate yourself so hard But you are far from the shallow crowd Yes you are far from the shallow crowd Yes you are far from the shallow crowd so far Now you’re locked up indoors Wrestling with your thoughts If you submit to them Grumble that you’re bored And it is hard when you hate yourself Oh yes it’s hard when you hate yourself Oh yes it’s hard when you hate yourself so hard But it is good not to be a sheep Oh yes it’s good not to be a sheep Oh yes it’s good not to be a sheep so good Now you’re locked up indoors Wrestling with your thoughts If you submit to them Grumble that you’re bored Solo Oh darling, say you’ll never drop me They gave me such a rotten deal Oh darling please don’t say I bore you This is what I feel Won’t let this world get one over me Won’t let this world get one over me Won’t let this world get one over me no way But it is hard when you hate yourself Yes it is hard when you hate yourself ‘Cause it is hard when you hate yourself so hard La la la la la la la la
14.
I don’t need a guiding light to help me through the day I don’t need a guiding light to help me find a way So you think you’ve got it bad Have I got news for you There’s always someone else Who is crawling up the walls Trying to catch their breath Trying to find the words They don’t need a guiding light to help them through the day They don’t need a guiding light to help them find a way Instrumental Got my back against the wall For sticking my neck out Trying to get heard Guess you’ll follow me here soon Stick your neck out too Follow every word We don’t need a guiding light to help us through the day We don’t need a guiding light to help us find a way We don’t need a guiding light to help us through the day We don’t need a guiding light to help us find a way
15.
I know that I am not all of the things I thought I would once grow up to be Sat as the Earth spins round watching the sun go down Then I just laugh at the moon I’m gonna keep with the coloured light even though I am losing sight There are still things I’m dying to say Following it round the garden excuse me I beg your pardon The words just flow right out of my mouth This is this is this is the time to tell A tale a tale a tale about people Overdeveloped by 30 million years We’re overgrown monkeys This is who I am and you can’t change it but I can And don’t you doubt it, and don’t you doubt it Follow me today we’ll all go out and wreck our brains I hope you like it, I hope you like it I’ve been surveying you watching you change your hue On the veranda at night Show me a way to go because I do not know What I’m supposed to do now I’d like to float in your golden light being a part of you tonight Your colours shine but refuse to fade Following you round the garden excuse me I beg your pardon The words just won’t come out of my mouth Bridge Chorus Do, do, do, do, do, do, do Ba, Ba-I-a Do, do, do, do, do, do, do Do, do, do, do, do, do, do Ba, Ba-I-a Do, do, do, do, do, do, do

If you hold back then you can’t be free If you go forth might get lost at sea But don’t get lost in this purgatory This wicked world it is driving me I just can’t help when I lose myself Why can’t I just keep my cool? I just can’t help when I lose my head Why can’t I just be like you? So we set sail at the crack of dawn When you looked back well it all was gone But have no fear ‘cause it won’t be long Till you are free from your world weary song Chorus I can’t remember my name Maybe it’s ‘cause I have lost my way If I appear at your door The years will fall Years will fall Years will fall away Chorus Solo Chorus
17.
Well I can’t keep waiting forever As the day turns into the night And the candles drawing me closer It’s burning and flickering so bright But I won’t take no for an answer And I won’t be pushed to the side ‘Cause there’s no such thing as forever I’ve waited and I can’t wait no more I’ve got to find a key to the door I’m tired of waiting in for you to call I’ve got to find a way to your heart Well I won’t keep living forever Got to get myself into gear ‘Cause the sands of time they are shifting And I’m drifting into another year I’ve got to find a key to the door I’m tired of waiting in for you to call I’ve got to find a way to your heart There’s no such thing as forever Instrumental I can’t take no more I’ve got to find a key to the door I’m tired of waiting in for you to call I’ve got to find a way to your heart There’s no such thing as forever There’s no such thing as forever
18.
This fear that runs your life Won’t stand the test of time For you were always free So stand your ground don’t flee I’m loving every day in every single way I love it as the time shifts slowly Everyday’s a gift as precious as a stone Spinning round the sun Spinning round the sun If you could find the words Your voice might just be heard And you will make me proud You start to sing out loud I’m loving every day in every single way I love it as the time shifts slowly Everyday’s a gift as precious as a stone Spinning round the sun Spinning round the sun Solo All these things that you have seen Captured in a memory See the future up ahead In it you are everywhere I’m loving every day in every single way I love it as the time shifts slowly Everyday’s a gift as precious as a stone Spinning round the sun Spinning round the sun So if you love your days you’ve got to find a way To share them with your one and only Everyday’s a gift as precious as a stone Spinning round the sun Spinning round the sun Spinning round the sun Spinning round the sun Spinning round the sun Spinning round the sun
19.
When you’re born to the world You’re a clean sheet of paper You are yet to have sinned But the world’s gonna make you People the lines on the map they divide us It poisons your mind like a virus We’ve got to make amends Or we can just give up the blue sky Give up the blue sky Give up the blue sky Give up the blue sky As the dust comes to rest It will all become clearer And for those of us left There’ll be nothing to fear People I don’t need to see to believe it We’ve all got to give to receive it Go tell it to your friends Or we can just give up the blue sky Give up the blue sky Give up the blue sky Give up the blue sky Solo People it’s time to awake from your slumber Before we find out we’ve gone under Let’s bring this to an end Or we can just give up the blue sky Give up the blue sky Give up the blue sky
20.
I thought you superficial and vacuous inside I only want to help you and heaven knows I’ve tried Must I forever wander the desert that’s so dry And stretches out forever in your mind But I won’t lie I won’t lie The deeper that I’m going the darker that it gets To pull you from the fire would be to make it correct I always will remember the look that filled your eyes I thought that I could help you if I tried But I won’t cry I won’t cry No I won’t cry I won’t cry If I extract the stigma from the tale This apple might taste better And though I know good sense will not prevail I’ll remember you like you want me to And how we tried How we tried Yes, how we tried How we tried
