Hey I was walking down the street the other day
You know when my head was aching
And I heard some mother say she said
I don't know what's wrong with all you kids today?
And as the car hit her I said
You're too busy looking the other way
I ain't got no memory, I don't feel no pain
Take me to the future, there and back again
There and back again
I went to my sweet old baby gypsy lady
She told me so she said
I know the place where you is gonna go she said
Some place across the ways and maybe do a show
I said Thank you, merci, but I already know
I ain't got no memory, I don't feel no pain
Take me to the future, there and back again
There and back again
Too many busy people rushing down the street I said
Their money shuffling to the hustling of their feet I said
Well I just don't dig it why these people never meet
They got the movement, they just don't got the beat
I ain't got no memory, I don't feel no pain
Take me to the future, there and back again
There and back again
I ain't got feeling, I ain't got no past
Take me to the future, tie me to the mast
Take me to the future, take me to the mast
Take me to the future, tie me to the mast
Take me to the future, tie me to the mast
Take me to the future, tie me to the mast
Take me to the future, tie me to the mast

I'm losing all my senses, it's a different point of view
Total seclusion, final abuse
If I got nothing it's nothing to lose
It was early, early in the morning
I was on my way to school
And I got love in some back alley
You know I never came through
Now it's crazy days and different lays
Are images of you
And if you think I've changed well I've got news for you
If it's all the rage to be insane let me play the fool
Cos I really don't have nothing left to lose
If it's not for me to question all the crazy things I do
Wasting my feelings fooling around with you
Telling me you love me when I know it can't be true
It was misty in the morning, I was on my way to you
All the crazy people, they were carrying me through
They were chasing after shadows
But it wasn't really true
And though I had the answer
I realised I had nothing left to lose
I'm losing all my chances, losing my grip on you
I'm into sedation, out of the blue
If I got something, I got nothing to lose
Now it's crazy days and different lays
Are images of you
And if you think I've changed well I've got news for you
If it's all the rage to be insane let me play the fool
Cos I really don't have nothing left to lose
No I really don't have nothing left to lose

Emerson-Stimpson
I saw the lamplight from your window
I didn't think you were home
Sitting there all alone
So I came up to your room to ask you why
Why did you hurt me so?
Why did you have to go away?
I never wanted anything in my life
Not until I met you
I thought you'd see me through
All the bad days that I had
Before I met you
Something in the past
Never thought it couldn't last
Forever
There's one thing I can say
Every day how I miss you
Every day that I'm without you
Hurts just a little bit more than
I've ever been hurt before
Every day that I'm without you
Hurts just a little bit more
And now I look down from your window
Se a young man across the street
He looks something like me
And he's walking with his head down to the ground
Did you want to hurt me so?
Why did you have to go away?
There's one thing I can say
Every day how I miss you
Every day that I'm without you
Hurts just a little bit more than
I've ever been hurt before
Every day that I'm without you
Hurts just a little bit more

Little girl who lives down the lane
Sat in a lonely room, you grew up far too soon
They're gonna find out some day
Think what your daddy said
They'll try to turn your head
Don't let them take you away
Keep lighting cigarettes, they haven't guessed it yet
Daddy can't see you today
Little girl who lives down the lane
You're a strange girl
Little girl who lives down the lane
In your strange world
Limousine parked outside
There's nowhere left to hide
Landlady's onto your game
What is she trying to do? Is she afraid of you?
Mamma behaved just the same
She's what the lady saw, under the cellar door
They're gonna think you're insane
Little girl who lives down the lane
You're a strange girl
Little girl who lives down the lane
In your strange world
Mario magic man trusts in some master plan
See how your daddy appears
He brought a change of luck digging the garden up
Buried the last of your fears
Keep lighting cigarettes, they haven't guessed it yet
Daddy can't see you today
Little girl who lives down the lane
You're a strange girl
Little girl who lives down the lane
In your strange world
What's your name girl? Such a strange girl
What's your game girl? In this strange world
What's your name girl? You're a strange girl
What's your game girl? Such a strange world
What's your name girl? Such a strange girl
You're insane girl. Such a shame

Young
The world is swimming like a crazy oyster
It chew you up and spit you out
Sometime it hits you like a kick in the cloisters
That overwhelming sense of doubt
Oh it just can be, it sure guide me
Look at what we've done, look at what we've done
The world is just a travelling circus
Each one of us is in the side-show
Packed in so tightly there's no space inbetween us
Don't keep asking me how I know
Oh it just can be, it sure guide me
Oh look at what we've done
All those unfamiliar faces in the crowd
On the photographs of places hanging upside down
And I wouldn't know if that is right or wrong
But there's no trains at the station
And all my reservations are gone
Oh it just can be, it sure guide me
Look at what we've done, look at what we've done
The world is spinning like a wheel of fortune
The kings are neither up nor down
We follow blindly like a handful of jokers
The ace is looking for the crown
Oh it just can be, it sure guide me
Look at what we've done, look at what we've done
. . .

Mulford-Wilson-Young
Sometimes I get a little lonely
Sometimes I get a little sad
Sometimes I get so sick and tired of people telling me
They're the best friends I ever had
So I just say to them
It's so empty in here
Sometimes I get a little angry
Sometimes I get a little mad
Sometimes I get so sick and tired of people telling me
Everything I do is so bad
I can't get used to all this emptiness
I can't get used to all this emptiness
I can't get used to all this emptiness that I feel
Just isn't real
What is that you're telling me
You can't get used to it
I just want to tell you one thing
Sometimes I get a little confused
Sometimes I just don't know
Just don't know what to do
I don't want all you people telling me
That I'm some, I'm some crazy kind of fool
I can't get used to all this emptiness
I can't get used to all this emptiness
I can't get used to all this emptiness that I feel
Just isn't real
Oh that's just the way I feel
What are you trying to tell me?
I guess I just have to keep on singing
I guess I just have to go right on saying
Oh yeah I'm so empty

Sad Café
Sneaking through bushes, me and my man
Part of the agents by the wave of his hand
Me and my man, we just don't give a damn
All the gay boys love us, we understand
I saw you standing over by the stone
My face was dirty, yours was ripped and torn
So I snuck over and the seed was sown
You promised me I'd be your very own
Hey cottage love, love and live
Loving give a chance
Cottage love is a wise fools game
You saw me standing over by the road
I watched you park the car,
I guess you really did smoke
Saw your finger beckon me over
Knew it wasn't no joke
I knew I just had to have one last toke
Hey cottage love, love and live
Loving give a chance
Cottage love is a wise fools game
Hey cottage love, love and live
Loving give a chance
Cottage love is a wise fools game

I'm looking for a love, a love without danger
A special kind of love, love without danger
Don't fight it, don't try to hide it when I
I need another love, love without danger
My life would be complete, if you'd be my angel
You looking oh so sweet and making love so well
Don't hide it, see what we can find then my
My life would be complete, you'd be my angel
Love's blind, see me through it baby
My life is oh so sweet, you are my angel
You make it so complete, love without danger
So right, so right I can't believe it
So right I'm so glad we made it
My life is oh so sweet, you are my angel
You make my life complete and making love so well
You be my angel, my angel
You be my angel, my angel
. . .

Kevin sits across the room, he's making eyes at Angie
Johnny's one who's too far gone to make out with his fancy
Now the party begins, it's starting to swing
We were having a good time
Boy we were packing them in
Why do I come here, happens every year
Well it's such a drag when your love's gone bad
Get me outta here, get me outta here
Oooh get me outta here
There's a hippy on the floor, he's smoking all my ganja
Bodies falling through the door
I just don't understand you
Now the fighting begins, we're falling out of friends
I want to be on my way but I just can't get out of the door
Get me outta here, get me outta here
I don't want to stay if your love's gone bad
Get me outta here, get me outta here
Oooh get me outta here
Bad scene, wish you happy birthday, then you disappear
We can't talk to each other
Came to say I love you but I can't get near
Get me outta here, get me outta here
Oooh get me outta here
That's when the heartache begins
And I just can't seem to win
I'm going out of my mind but
I just don't wanna be here no more
So get me outta here, get me outta here
I don't want to stay if your love's gone bad
Get me outta here, get me outta here
Oooh get me outta here
Why do I come here, happens every year
Well it's such a drag when your love's gone bad
Get me outta here, get me outta here
Oooh get me outta here
I don't want to stay if your love's gone bad
Get me outta here, get me baby
Baby get me outta here

Emerson-Young
I've been sick of laying up in this bed you know
I've been laid up three days or more to ease my head
And the TV's always on by my side
And I can't get enough to turn it off, not even if I tried
For some strange reason I got out of my bed
And walked across the room
Looked in the mirror, what did I see?
I saw the Devil, he was looking at me
My oh my, boy am I wasted. yeah but you tasted good
Don't criticise, I know you can take it
I always knew that you would
My oh my boy am I wasted,
Mmm but you tasted fine
Cry oh cry tears can't erase it,
It's just a question of time
Yeah I'm sick of driving round in this car
I been 3000 miles or so and I still ain't got too far
And the radio's always on by my side
I can't get enough to turn it off, not even if I tried
For some strange reason I pulled over to the side
And started thinking about you
Looked in the mirror, what did I see?
I saw the Devil creeping up on me
My oh my, boy am I wasted. yeah but you tasted good
Don't criticise, I know you can take it
I always knew that you would
My oh my boy am I wasted,
Mmm but you tasted fine
Cry oh cry tears can't erase it,
It's just a question of time
My oh my boy am I wasted
Yeah but you tasted yummy, yummy so good
Cry oh cry tears can't erase it aah what the f**k I said
Yummy yummy
My oh my, boy am I wasted
Yeah but you tasted so fine
Don't criticise, I know you can take it
I always knew that you would
