To The Faithful Departed

Hollywood

I've got a picture in my head (in my head)

It's me and you , we are in bed (we are in bed)

You'll always be there when I call (when I call)

You'll always be there most of all. (all, all, all)

This is not Hollywood,

Like I understood.

This is not Hollywood,

Like, Like, Like.

This is not Hollywood,

Like I understood.

This is not Hollywood,

Like, Like, Like.

Away, Runaway, is there anybody there?

Away, Runaway, is there anybody there?

Get Away, Get Away, Get away!

Get Away, Getaway, Get away!

I've got a picture in my room, (in my room)

I will return there I presume. (should be soon)

The greatest irony of all, (shoot the wall)

It's not so glamorous at all (all, all, all)

This is not Hollywood,

Like I understood.

This is not Hollywood,

Like, Like, Like.

This is not Hollywood,

Like I understood.

This is not Hollywood,

Like, Like, Like.

Away, Runaway, is there anybody there?

Salvation

To all those people doing lines, don't do it, don't do it.

Inject your soul with liberty, it's free, it's free.

To all the kids with heroin eyes, don't do it, don't do it.

Because it's not, not what it seems.

No, no it's not, not what it seems

Salvation, salvation, salvation is free.

Salvation, salvation, salvation is free.

To all those parents with sleepless nights, (sleepless nights)

Tie your kids home to their beds, clear their heads.

To all the kids with heroin eyes, don't do it, don't do it.

Because it's not, not what it seems.

No, no it's not, not what it seems

Salvation, salvation, salvation is free.

Salvation, salvation, salvation is free.

Salvation, salvation, salvation is free.

Salvation, salvation, salvation is free.

When You're Gone

Hold on to love. That is what I do,

Now that I've found you.

And from above, everything's stinking,

Their not around you.

And in the night, I could be helpless

I could be lonely, sleeping without you.

And in the day, everything's complex

There's nothing simple, when I'm not around you.

But, I miss you when you're gone.

That is what I do, Bay, Bay, Bay

And it's going to carry on,

That is what I knew, Bay, Bay, Bay

Hold on to my hand,

I feel me sinking, sinking without you.

And to my mind, everything's stinking

Stinking without you.

And in the night, I could be helpless,

I could be lonely, sleeping without you.

And in the day, everything's complex,

There's nothing simple, when I'm not around you.

And I miss you when you're gone.

That is what I do, Bay, Bay, Bay

And it's going to carry on,

That is what I do, Bay, Bay, Bay

Free To Decide

It's not worth anything more than this at all

I live as I choose or I will not live at all.

So return to where you've come from.

Return to where you dwell.

Because harassments not my forte,

But you do it very well.

I'm Free To Decide, I'm Free To Decide

And I'm not so suicidal after all.

I'm Free To Decide, I'm Free To Decide

And I'm not so suicidal after all. (At all, at all, at all)

You must have nothing more with your mind to do.

There's a war in Russia and Sarejevo, too.

So to hell with want your thinking.

And to hell with your narrow of mind.

You're so distracted from the real thing.

You should leave your life behind. (behind)

I'm Free To Decide, I'm Free To Decide

And I'm not so suicidal after all.

I'm Free To Decide, I'm Free To Decide

And I'm not so suicidal after all. (At all, at all, at all)

I'm Free To Decide, I'm Free To Decide

And I'm not so suicidal after all. (At all, at all, at all)

At all, At all, At all!

War Child

Who will save the War Child baby?

Who controls the keys?

The web we weave is thick and sordid.

Fine by me.

At times of war.

We're all the losers,

There's no victory.

We'll shoot to kill, and kill your lover.

Fine by me.

War Child!

Victim of political Pride.

Plant the seed, territorial Greed.

Mind, the War Child.

We should mind, the War Child.

I spent last winter in New York,

And came upon a man.

He was sleeping on the streets and homeless,

He said, "I fought in Vietnam."

Beneath his shirt he wore the mark,

He bore the mark of Pride.

A two-inch deep incision carved,

Into his side.

War Child!

Victim of political Pride.

Plant the seed, territorial Greed.

Mind, the War Child.

We should mind, the War Child.

Whose the loser now, eh?

Whose the loser now, eh?

We're all the losers now!

We're all the losers now!

War Child, War Child

Forever Yellow Skies

Yellow Skies, I can see the Yellow Skies.

See you again, I see you again

In my dreams, in my dreams, in my dreams, in my dreams.

Morning light, I remember morning light.

Outside my doors, I 'll see you no more.

In my dreams, in my dreams, in my dreams, in my dreams

Forever, Forever I'll be forever holding you.

Forever, Forever I'll be forever holding you.

Responsible, Responsible, Responsible, Responsible.

So black and white,

It's become so black and white.

So insecure, You're so insecure,

That's what you are, That's what you are, That's what you are, That's what you are.

Forever, Forever I'll be forever holding you.

Forever, Forever I'll be forever holding you.

Responsible, Responsible, Responsible, Responsible.

Forever, Forever I'll be forever holding you.

Forever, Forever I'll be forever holding you.

Responsible, Responsible, Responsible, Responsible.

The Rebels

Seems like yesterday we were sixteen,

We were The Rebels of the Rebel Scene.

We wore Doc Martens in the sun,

Drinking vintage cider having fun.

We were, drinking vintage cider having fun.

It wasn't often, that we'd fight at all! It wasn't often!

It wasn't often, that we'd fight at all! It wasn't often!

We wore Doc Martens in the snow,

Paint our toenails black and let our hair grow.

What I am now is what I was then,

I am not more acceptable then them.

I am not more acceptable then them.

It wasn't often, that we'd fight at all! It wasn't often!

It wasn't often, that we'd fight at all! It wasn't often!

It wasn't often, It wasn't often,

It wasn't often, It wasn't often,

It wasn't often, It wasn't often,

It wasn't often, It wasn't often.

Seems like yesterday we were sixteen,

We were The Rebels of the Rebel Scene.

I Just Shot John Lennon

It was the fearful night of December 8th,

He was returning home from the studio, late.

He had perceptively known that it wouldn't be nice.

Because in 1980, he paid the price.

John Lennon died, John Lennon died, John Lennon died!

John Lennon died, John Lennon died, John Lennon died!

With a Smith & Wesson, 38

John Lennon's life was no longer a debate.

He should have stayed at home, he should have never cared.

And the man who took his life declared, he said,

"I Just Shot John Lennon!"

He said, "I Just Shot John Lennon!"

It was a sad and sorry and sickening sight.

It was a sad and sorry and sickening sight,

Oh a sad and sorry and sickening sight,

It was a sad and sorry and sickening sight!

"I Just Shot John Lennon!"

He said, "I Just Shot John Lennon!"
