Circle in the Square

There's no food on the table
And there's nowhere left to go
The party's nearly over
But no one seems to know

We gotta make room for everybody
We gotta tidy up the mess
We gotta make room for everybody
Every uninvited guest

'Cause if you wanna change the world
If you really care
If you wanna change the world
Make a circle in the square

The party's nearly over
And we just stand and stare
And the continents are drifting
But no one seems to care

We gotta make room for everybody
We gotta tidy up the mess
We gotta make room for everybody
Every uninvited guest

'Cause if you wanna change the world
If you really care
If you wanna change the world
Make a circle in the square

The party's really over
As the headlights sweep the square
And all the uninvited guests
Are gasping for some air

They got flaming tyre tuxedos
And barbed-wire in their hair
They got nothing in their pockets
But the dust of their despair

We gotta tidy up
Tidy up tidy up
Tidy up the mess

'Cause if you wanna change the world
If you really care
If you wanna change the world
Make a circle in the square

You, You Monkey

I was dreaming that I couldn't sleep
I was walking through the walls
I saw disasters and inventions
And I heard the oceans roar
Then a voice said 'seize the day
'While you have the power'
While I was busy seizing it
Somebody seized the hour

You! you monkey
Truth is in your soul
Truth! you monkey
History is sold
Love! you monkey
You have seen the light
The truth is we're all monkeys
Don't let those monkeys fight

If white is square and black is round
And yellow is a figure of eight
Then you, you monkey, turn around
There's no one left to hate
If white is square and black is round
And yellow is a figure of eight
Then you, you monkey, turn around
Before it gets too late

Ulysses, Abel, Cain
Would dance if they lived today
And they'd be troubled by
The hole in the sky
And the blood would freeze their veins
And a voice said 'keep on going
'Dance until you drop!'
But while they kept on keeping on
The world came to a stop

You! you monkey
Truth is in your soul
Truth! you monkey
History is sold
Love! you monkey
You have seen the light
The truth is we're all monkeys
Don't let those monkeys fight

If white is square and black is round
And yellow is a figure of eight
Then you, you monkey, turn around
There's no one left to hate
If white is square and black is round
And yellow is a figure of eight
Then you, you monkey, turn around
Before it gets too late

I was running for the slow train
I was living the great white lie
When a pillar of smoke rose up ahead
Like death in a clear blue sky
And a voice said 'Use your reason!'
'Use your head!'

But sense was out of reason
And the facts had gone to bed
So the voice said 'Use your heart'
So the voice said 'Use your head'
'Use your soul'

If white is square and black is round
And yellow is a figure of eight
Then you, you monkey, turn around
There's no one left to hate
If white is square and black is round
And yellow is a figure of eight
Then you, you monkey, turn around
Before it gets too late

Flowers in the Desert

Freedom's coming to this town
The freedom rain is pouring down
Like red-hot steel it hurts so hard
That's how freedom feels in your own backyard

Truth is coming crashing down
Truth is raining all over town
Like white-hot steel takes away your sight
That's how truth will feel in the dead of night

The rest of your life starts here
With the price of a single tear
As we grow and we disappear
Like flowers in the desert

Johnny's coming to this town
Johnny's coming to tear it down
He's got a heart of steel but he cries so hard
That's how Johnny feels in your own backyard

It's suicide living under this sky
It's so big and wide
It's suicide
It's suicide

The rest of your life starts here
With the price of a single tear
As we grow and we disappear
Like flowers in the desert

Money's coming to this town
Money's coming to bring it around
Makes you wanna steal, feel so real
Makes you wanna dance
That's how money feels in the seat of your pants

All Dressed Up For The End Of The World

It's time to get up and get out of bed
Pull your t-shirt over your fuzzy head
Put on your jeans, step into your shoes
I hate to spoil your day, but have you heard the news?

You're all dressed up for the end of the world
You're all dressed up for the end of the world

So do up your eyes in your fabulous way
But don't take your time, we ain't got all day

You're all dressed up for the end of the world
You're all dressed up for the end of the world

Time running out, everyone will be there
So put on your coat and tie up your hair
We're having a party, everybody's invited
The whole world's lit up, in fact it's ignited

You're all dressed up for the end of the world
You're all dressed up for the end of the world

Just put on your face and give me your hand
Let's use the day in a way we never planned
There's only time left for loving, yeah
No time left for hating, no

'Cause time's running out
Yeah! Time's running out!

You're all dressed up for the end of the world
You're all dressed up for the end of the world

It's time to get up and get out of bed
Pull your t-shirt over your fuzzy head
Put on your jeans, step into your shoes

You Haunt My Heart

One more year has passed
I'm still haunted
By the memory of you

When the summer comes
Or the winter snow
Oh the memory of you

Beats my racing heart
As I taste your lips
In the middle of the day

No matter where I am
On a lonely beach
Or a crowded subway train

You haunt my heart
You haunt my soul
You haunt my heart
Your memories won't let me go
Let me go

They dog me down the days
And blow me like the wind
And leave me out of breath
For your kisses without end

They strike like summer lightning
A bolt out of the blue
That leaves me out of breath
Just one breath of you

I lie awake at night
Then I hear the door
And I feel the cold wind blow

Through my lonely room
Through my vacant heart
Through my bare and empty soul

You haunt my heart
You haunt my soul
You haunt my heart
Your memories won't let me go
Let me go

Love upon your lips
As you take my heart
Oh the memory of you
As you take my heart

As you take my heart
As you take my heart

I Don't Wanna Be Like You

I don't wanna be like you

You dress the part, but what's in your heart
You say the word, but what have you heard
The future's junk, history's bunk
And now is wow, but you can't say how, yeah

I don't wanna be like you

Where's your pa? Driving his car
Where's your ma? Reading her stars
The gang's all here, gimme that beer!
Eat sleep follow that sheep

I don't wanna be like you

Tell me now - If I swim a little more
I think I can see the shore
Making footsteps in the sand
Footsteps in the sand of the promised land

I don't wanna be like you

You dress the part, but what's in your heart
You say the word, but what have you heard
The future's junk, history's bunk
And now is wow, but you can't say how, yeah

Eat sleep and follow that sheep

I don't wanna be like you

Not like you
Not like you

Be Somebody

You can be somebody

Get on the train and they stare
Soothe away the pain
Breathe in the air til you don't care
Who's to blame

I'm not your destination
I'm not the road you're on
But I am the far horizon
Lost in the blue beyond

You can be somebody
You can be someone
You can be somebody
But just be with me tonight
You can be somebody
Fight the good good fight
You can be somebody
But just be - just be with me tonight

I see you in every future
Dancing like a flame
You got to burn 'til the whole world learns
Learns your name

There's nothing beyond the moment
But original sin
Something new is calling you
From deep within

You can be somebody
Have your name in lights
You can be somebody
But just be with me tonight
You can be somebody
Scale the dizzy heights
Put the world to rights
But just be - just be with me tonight

You can be somebody

You can be somebody
You can be someone
You can be what wanna be
Just be with me tonight
You can be somebody
Scale the dizzy heights
Turn all the wrongs to right
Just be - be with me tonight

Believe in me tonight
Believe in me!

Big Blow

Big Blow!

Too hot - it's 45
I'm just running to stay alive
Nothing keeps me satisfied
Except for this, this big blow

Fighting hard the chosen one
Making peace without a gun
Keeping the derils on the nun
This big blow, big blow

Big blow, yeah

It's nice to meet you but I gotta go
The world moves but you move slow
And after all there's nothing to show
Except for this, this big blow

No more trees and no more plants
People in the city just wanna dance
I turn my back and take a chance
I give you this, this big blow

Big blow
Big blow
Giving it all to big blow
Big blow
Big blow
Giving it all to big blow

The news always makes me scream
I ask myself what does it mean?
Oh god, where have you been?
You must be this, this big blow

No more war and no more greed
A little love is what you need
I know you think that I'm naive
I give you this, this big blow

Big blow
Big blow
Giving it all to big blow
Big blow
Big blow
Giving it all to big blow

The raindance

Who's Controlling the Weather?

When it's hot, I feel just like a couple down the street
With a one note baby, two tone sofa, sweating in their sheets

And when it's cold, I feel just like an old man down a hall
With a one bar electric, too loud tv, freezing in a ball

And I'm sitting at my window
And I'm looking at the view
And I'm wondering
Who's controlling the weather
And I'm wondering
Who's controlling the weather

When it rains, I feel just like a hero from a film
With a one line love scene, two bit romance that he just can't fulfill

And when it shines, I feel just like a commercial on the screen
With a wondrous opportunity for something quite obscene

And I'm sitting at my window
And I'm looking at the view
And I'm wondering
Who's controlling the weather
And I'm wondering
Who's controlling the truth
And I'm wondering
Who's controlling the weather
And I'm wondering
Who is controlling me and you?

And in a storm, I feel just like the thing from outer space
On a one year mission to exterminate the human race

And when it's fine, I feel like a star who loves the biz
With a 1 2 3 4 5 6 7, hate for what he is

And I'm sitting at my window
And I'm looking at the view
And I'm wondering
I expect you do it too
And I'm wondering
Who's controlling the weather
And I'm wondering
Who's controlling the truth
And I'm wondering
Who's controlling the weather
And I'm wondering
Who is controlling me and you?

When it rains and I'm looking out the window at the view
And I'm wondering what, where, why or who...
Who's controlling the weather
When it shines, and I'm staring out the window at the view
And I'm wondering what, where, why or who...
Who's controlling the weather
In storm, I'm looking out the window at the view
And I'm wondering what, where, why or who...
Who's controlling the weather
When it's fine, I'm looking out the window at the view
And I'm wondering what, where, why or who...
Who's controlling the weather
In a storm, I'm staring out the window at the view
I'm wondering what the fuck I'm gonna do
Who is controlling the weather
