Sad Café Album

Young

Up to now it's been much harder than before
Great expectations on the rise
I never really understood it all before
You know this crazy thing ain't right
Those who want to know those who can't decide
Better make your mind up 'cause you can't hide
Hear the people saying Babylon
That's a long time in the past
You better watch out, really hold on
You know this crazy thing can't last
Those who wanna see those who's eyes are blind
Better catch you stumbling and you won't find
You just can't live your life living in Babylon
You just can't live your life living in Babylon
You just can't live your life living in Babylon
You just can't live your life living in Babylon
All you people want to live in times ago
Better not believe in what I say
Oh you know towers crumble and towers grow old
It's time to take the chance and time to realise
Time to make your time out 'cause time just flies

Sad Café

In the back of the limousine
She's getting laid by the porno' queen.
They're going at it pretty good
I guarantee it's gonna be.
In the disco late at night
See a snake king doin' it right
Somebody touches, he starts a fight
I guarantee you're gonna see
Shellshock
And all those times she's living in a dream
Well what I'm trying to say is
She doesn't know she's so mean
She can really bitch and scheme
I've seen the cracks showing in her wall
Up to now they're so very small
And then I get that feeling
That it's down to you
She never rises 'til the afternoon
She goes through the mirror scene
She sits for hours and paints her face
She slakes her toenails green
I guess you'd say she looks good
You know she always does
But I know she's gonna blow it all
Know it's gonna be
Shellshock
Like a lizard crawls a tambourine
She makes no sound, she can't be seen
'Til somebody tries to break her dream
Then you know it's gonna be
Shellshock, shellshock
Shellshock, shellshock

Emerson-Young

I'm a traveller, I'm a tinker
I make my money and I move around
It's kind of funny how you tied me down
With those hungry eyes
You're a lady but you messed up
I need your trouble like a hole in the head
It's kind of funny how you shoot me dead
With those hungry eyes
Hungry eyes keep looking at me
Hungry eyes tell me what do they see
No there ain't no place that I'd rather be
Need those hungry eyes looking at me
It's no joke 'cause I'm a no-hope
I wish I wasn't 'cause I wanted to be
The kind of lover who'd always be
With those hungry eyes
You're a lady, you're so messed up
I seen you hanging round with some of your friends
It's kind of funny how they make amends
With those hungry eyes
Hungry eyes keep looking at me
Hungry eyes tell me what do they see
No there ain't no place that I'd rather be
Need those hungry eyes looking at me
Another time another place
Another empty space
I need to be alive, I need to be
You are to me a fire to keep me warm
You keep me free from harm
If it could only be
But there's no chance
No chance of romance
I want to see you but you've disappeared
And I don't ever get to soothe the tears
From those hungry eyes
You're a lady but it's no good
You wanna burn me when you're feeling down
Don't understand it, you make me a clown
With those hungry eyes
Hungry eyes keep looking at me
Hungry eyes tell me what do they see
No there ain't no place that I'd rather be
Need those hungry eyes looking at me
I need those hungry eyes, I need those
Hungry eyes keep looking at me
Hungry eyes tell me what do they see
No there ain't no place that I'd rather be
Need those hungry eyes looking at me

It's getting stranger
I see it in your eyes but I can't believe
They don't shine for me no more
When I'm near you, never realised how strange it seems
The danger now we're so far apart
Is it you?
Are you the one who makes believe that it's me
You'd better look again - you'll be deceived
Can it be I'm just the man who shadows on your wall
I been away now for oh so long
But it don't seem right, like I don't wanna be
Left hanging on
Come on tell me it shouldn't be hard
If you're the good friend I always thought you'd be
Are you the one who makes believe that it's me
You'd better look again - you'll be deceived
Can it be I'm just the man who shadows on your wall
I'm in a show again now but I don't want it
If you only want me to play the fool
'Cause I'm getting so tired of waiting around to see
If there's a chance you love me
Or are you going to keep me cruel
Are you the one who makes believe that it's me
You'd better look again - you'll be deceived
Can it be I'm just the man who shadows on your wall
Can it be, am I the one who can't believe
That it's me
I'm just the man who shadows on your wall
I'm just the man who shadow on your wall

Stimpson-Young

Rose was having a problem
She held the answer in her hand
But on this auspicious occasion
She didn't really understand
I went to meet her at the station
Her famous hat was pulled down low
A crowd of people stood there laughing at her
Rose was a shadow of before
Keep taking those back roads
That's all I ever heard her say
Don't take no for an answer
Yet she slowly slid away
Keep taking those back roads
That's all I ever heard her say
Don't take no for an answer
Oh that's all she would say
Back roads, black rose, blues again
Now Rose was getting down forever
She never really ever stood a chance
I watched her life that's pilling out before her
Just like wine, just like wine
Spilling over the side
And every time I reach a crossroads
In my life and I don't know which way to go
A voice is stirring deep inside of me
It is the voice of old black Rose
She said
Keep taking those back roads
That's all I ever heard her say
Don't take no for an answer
Yet she slowly slipped away, yeah
Keep taking those back roads
That's all I ever heard her say
Don't take no for an answer
Hey, black rose slipped away
Back roads, black rose, you got the blues again
Back roads, black rose
Black rose, black rose

I – Fanx Ta-Ra
----

In the morning I'll be leaving
I'll be sailing with the ebb
I'll be taking the key to your heart
Where I'm bound for, I don't know
It only goes to show
Fanx Ta-ra
If you find yourself one day
Wishing I was back again
And you ask me why I caused you so much pain
I would look you in the eye
I would give you my reply
Fanx Ta-ra
There's just got to be a way of making fine
Ask yourself a question now to ease your mind
If you're ever feeling down
And you hear that I'm in town
And you plead with me to stay for a while
I'll be on my way
That's the time you'll hear me say
Fanx Ta-Ra

III – Flingus' Holiday
----

(Instrumental)

IV – Immortal
----

Just like the man who rides the river
Down to the burning sea
And he's not getting any older
Not like you or me
He's been around since time eternal
Helped Nero light the fires in Rome
Ghengis Khan was in his pocket
Light the fires upon your home
Call him a helper, watch him grin
Call him what you like
Lock your heart, don't let him in
So if you feel it's getting colder
He'll chill you to the spine
Then before you get much older
He'll do the same to mine
Call him a helper, watch him grin
Call him what you like
Lock your heart, don't let him in
He's immortal
So please don't ask me what he's here for
'cause I don't really know
he'll just invite himself a new war
you'll be gone before you know
Call him a helper, watch him grin
Call him what you like
Lock your heart, don't let him in

V – Sail On
----

Since then I've sailed through many lands
I never stayed too long
Pushed by restless hands
Lord, what do I care
A broken man with a load so heavy to bear
There could have been a time I know
I could have caught the Jesus show
I was lying helpless, lying drunk in the snow
Sail on
And I never found love, guess I never will
I've killed so many lonely souls
I knew what I could have been
It's not what I should have been
Why do a care
A broken man too weak to banish his fears
I always took what I could find
I never thought to look behind
And when I did, it really froze my mind
Sail on
I never heard love, I was always blind

VI – Clumbidextrous

(Instrumental)

VII – I Believe (Love Will Survive)
----

Sing me a love song
One I can understand
It may sound silly in this age of modern man
I'm a believer in love's eternal plan
And I believe love will survive
Yes I believe love will survive
Oh I believe love will survive forever
Give me the moonlight
Give me the silver beams
Give me a young girl, I give you a dream
I'm a believer in love's eternal scheme
And I believe love will survive
Yes I believe love will survive
Oh I believe love will survive forever
You may think your luck has gone
From the world with your love
I will seek years to help
Help you carry, help you carry on
Fly me to Jupiter, fly me to Mars
I won't need no spaceship to fly me so far
I'm a believer that love can reach the stars
And I believe love will survive
Yes I believe love will survive
Oh I believe love will survive forever
And I believe love will survive
Yes I believe love will survive
Oh I believe love will survive forever
