Hurry up

Don't slow down

Pick a time

D-D-D-D-Don't let hands pull you down

If you're waiting

Have it up

Move along

Say goodbye

D-D-D-D-Don't let words stay too long

If you're leaving

It read

We missed you

Between the lines

It said hold it high

With a smile

Speak out loud

With the mind of a child

If you're lucky

It read

We missed you

Between the lines

It said hurry up

We really must be going there's no time to delay

We have to leave our message because we can't stay

It really is important so remember take care

Please keep on moving 'cos there's nobody there

It read

We missed you

Between the lines it said

We've waited for so long

But now it's time t-t-to keep moving along

Here and there are the signs

On the road g-g-g-g-g-give way to stop and go

When you're moving

It read

We missed you

Between the lines it said

We've waited for so long

But now it's time to to to keep moving along

Keep moving, you've got to keep moving

Keep, keep, you've got to keep moving

T-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-to keep moving along

The Sun and the RainVer letra

letra de The Sun and the Rain
It's raining again,

I'm hearing its pitter patter down.

It's wet in the street

Reflecting the lights and splashing feet,

Nowhere to go,

And nothing I have to do, have to do.

It's raining again,

I follow the Christmas lights down town.

I'm leaving the flow

Of people walking all around,

Round and round,

I hear the sound of rain falling in my ears

Washing away the weariness like tears.

I can feel my troubles running down,

Disappear into the silent sound.

Just walking along,

My clothes are soaked right through to the skin,

I haven't a doubt, that this is what life is all about,

The sun and the rain.

Scraps of brain washing down the drain.

I feel the rain falling on my face

I can say there is no better place

Than standing up in the falling down

In so much rain I could almost drown.

It's raining again

A crack in the clouds reveals blue skies

I've been feeling so low(low)

But now everything is on my side

The sun and the rain.

Walk with me fill my heart again

I hear the rain falling in my ears

Washing away the weariness like tears.

I can feel my troubles running down,

Disappear into the silent sound.

I feel the rain falling on my face

I can say there is no better place

Than standing up in the falling down

In so much rain I could almost drown.

Do de do do de do do do

Do de do de do de do do do

letra de Brand New Beat
More leverage was passed today

From the radio I heard him say

I fixed another lock on my toilet door

House to house checks will commence throughout

Looking at my prize possessions

Trying to remember which ones I own

I could be up for a week's detention

Without a line I could die in there

Another law was passed today

Cut price bullets in your hardware store

And to pass your time of stay

Life size cutouts are your target score

Throwing open the windows

And screaming down the street

Eight o'clock and all is well

Until the brand new beat

Can you smell the brand new beat

Star shaped badge that shines upon

Comes free in your bumper pack

But if it's left around too long

It'll burn right through to your back

Throwing open the windows

And screaming down the street

Eight o'clock and all is well

Until the brand new beat

Can you smell the brand new beat

Shipped direct via the Isle of Man

The money maker shows his face

He breeds his fear across the land

Then casts off without a trace

Eight o'clock and all is well

Until the brand new beat

You can smell the brand new beat

Can you hear the brand new beat

You can hear the brand new beat

Can you smell the brand new beat

letra de March of the Gherkins
It's been some time since the smile upon my face

Had I sneaked previewing town

It's been a while since I gave chase

It's been some time since the girl from round my way

Came and took me by the hand

Been a long time since I came around

I can remember when I stood on my head

Walking straight across the ground

Still picture their laughing faces

Catch me, I'm falling into my past

Catch me, the deeper the louder the laugh

I was told to grow up soon, face my consequences

Being told it was high time, high time to come to my senses

Climbing up to the top floor, stood the look of pleasure

Such a silly aged man with an attic full of treasure

Catch me, I'm falling into my past

Deeper, the deeper the louder the laugh

I remember when I was ten, things were somewhat better then

Time went by so easily, is this the way life's supposed to be?

But looking back I wonder why it seems to pass so quickly by

Memories can make you cry, I close my eyes, my tears I try to hide

I was thinking about Tamer Lane

Of all the funny places

I was thinking, a short time ago

Catch me, I'm falling into my past

Catch me, the deeper the louder the laugh

Catch me, I'm falling into my past

Deeper, the deeper the louder the laugh

letra de Michael Caine
(I am Michael Caine)

He's walking where I'm afraid I don't know

I see the firemen jumping from the windows

There's panic and I hear somebody scream

(aaaah)

He picks up useless paper

And puts it in my pocket

I'm trying very hard to keep my fingers clean

I can't remember tell me what's his name

(My name is Michael Caine)

And all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep at home

And all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep

The sun is laughing its another broken morning

I see a shadow and call out to try and warn him

He didn't seem to hear

Just turned away

The quiet fellow follows and points his fingers

Straight at you

He had to sacrifice his pride yes throw it all away

(I am Michael Caine)

And all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep at home

And all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep

His days are numbered he walks round and round in circles

There is no place he can ever call his own

He seems to jump at the sound of the phone

Staring out the window there's nothing he can now do

All he wanted was to remain sane

He can't remember his own name

(My name is Michael Caine)

And all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep at home

And all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep

And all I wanted was a word or photograph

And all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep

And all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep at home

And all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep

And all I wanted was a word or photograph

And all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep

ProspectsVer letra

letra de Prospects
A train ride to Tuesday

A platform far away

Scarlet shades of evening move clouds of grey

Awaking, arriving

The dirty station where

He passes crowds of people who don't see him there

Here's a desert island room

For a man who's cast away

Stranded in this home from home

From his family

Far away

Home.

Well this is it

This is it

Is this my heart

I miss you with all my heart

This is not

Is this not

My home

One shoe-lace cardboard suitcase

One passport from the Queen

One room for a light bulb

Where no-one's been

Sticks and stones, my old bones

Not like nineteen fifty-four

Then the liked me fine

But not anymore

This empty room

Where he's marooned

With nothing left to say

But in the dark

He thinks of home far away

Home.

Well this is it

This is it

Is this my heart

I miss you with all my heart

This is not

Is this not

My home

I feel cold, getting old

More than the climate's changed

Stranded on this island

The rate of exchange

Here's a desert island room

For a man who's cast-away

Today he will not be at work

There is no work anyway

How is it when you feel it

Do you wonder what gets you down

You're looking in the windows

When you walk this town

letra de Victoria Gardens
You're looking and listening and hoping that things are changing for the better

You're trying to see if what you're teaching is the truth sir

You're looking and listening and hoping that things will change for better

Don't want to preach or teach the blues to you now brother

I just left Victoria Gardens

And walked through cardboard city land

A burnt out star was asking

How would I like to shake his hand

I walked on in no hurry (hurry hurry hurry)

And wondered where did we go wrong?

We're looking and listening and hoping that things are changing for the better

Don't want to preach or teach the blues to you now brother

I walked on in no hurry (hurry hurry hurry)

And wondered where did we go wrong?

Looking listening hoping that things are changing for the better

(Only time can tell)

It's a bloody fine situation

That we find ourselves in

He said something I couldn't mention (here)

And we laughed with him again

I walked on in no hurry (hurry hurry hurry)

And wondered where did we go wrong?

Looking listening hoping that things are changing for the better

And trying to see if what you're teaching is the truth sir

She said it's for the good of us all

(of us all, of us all, of us all)

Looking listening hoping that things are changing for the better

Don't want to preach or teach the blues to you now brother

I'm not so sure

(sure, sure, sure)

And now it is early evening

I look across grey Leicester Square

A large and silent crowd were walking

Said they had every right to be there

SamanthaVer letra

letra de Samantha
One night in a cold sweat

I heard the call

So without fear and free from fright

I walked tall

As I crept the passages

Only just but faint

In and out of the central heating

It came and then went

Samantha, Samantha dear

I have to be gone

Samantha, oh Samantha dear

But ooh, she slept on

Well I've itched a thousand itches

But this one tops them all

While crouched down with an ear to the ground

I saw the call

Springing up in disbelief

The supension spilt

And peering in a bathroom mirror

Hung the men with guilt

Samantha, Samantha dear

I have to be gone

Samantha, oh Samantha dear

But ooh, she slept on

One night in a cold sweat

I heard the call

So without fear and free from fright

I walked tall

Samantha, Samantha dear

I have to be gone

Samantha, oh Samantha dear

But

Samantha, Samantha dear

I have to be gone

Samantha, oh Samantha dear

But

There were all sorts of funny faces

Being pulled

But mine was the funniest face

Samantha, Samantha dear

I have to be gone

Samantha, oh Samantha dear

But ooh, she slept on

One Better DayVer letra

letra de One Better Day
Arlington house, address: no fixed abode

An old man in a three-piece suit sits in the road

He stares across the water, he sees right through the lock

But on and up like outstretched hands

His mumbled words, his fumbled words, mock

Further down, a photo booth, a million plastic bags

And an old woman filling out a million baggage tags

But when she gets thrown out, three bags at a time

She spies the old chap in the road to share her bags with

She has bags of time

Surrounded by his past, on a short white line

He sits while cars pass either side, takes his time

Trying to remember one better day

A while ago when people stopped to hear him say

Walking round you sometimes hear the sunshine

Beating down in time with the rhythm of your shoes

Now she has walked enough through rainy town

She rests her bag against his and sits down

She's trying to remember one better day

A while ago when people stopped to hear her say

Walking round you sometimes hear the sunshine

Beating down in time with the rhythm of your shoes

Walking round you sometimes hear the sunshine

Beating down in time with the rhythm of your shoes

The feeling of arriving when you've nothing left to lose

Walking round you sometimes hear the sunshine

Beating down in time with the rhythm of your shoes

The feeling of arriving when you've nothing left to lose

Give Me a ReasonVer letra

letra de Give Me a Reason
Well we change from one extreme to another

Can you help me with my shame

I didn't mean to when I kicked and punched

From nowhere this demon came

Forgive me for this mindless mood

Accept this honest plea

Don't use me for the devil's food

And throw away the key

Give me a reason so I've got

Someone else to blame

Give me the reason so I've got

Something else to blame

I only meant to wipe away the cries

With the softness of my hand

I didn't mean to break the tie

I'm after all a family man

Give me a reason so I've got

Someone else to blame

Give me the reason so I've got

Something else to blame

Give me the reason

Give me a reason

I am the master of this house

Don't try to run away

I tried the same things at your age

And I was also made to pay

Forgive me for this mindless mood

Accept this honest plea

Don't use me for the devil's food

And throw away the key

Mister patience and Misses alike

Upon and throughout the land

A lot of attention

With a heap of affection

Wouldn't go astray

Give me a reason so I've got

Someone else to blame

Give me the reason so I've got

Something else to blame

This is the reason, one of the reasons

I am the reason so I've got only myself to blame

I am the reason so I've got no-one else to blame

Turning BlueVer letra

letra de Turning Blue
With the ease of a practised smile

The tears of a crocodile

Well shake then wash your hands

Of the smell of foreign land

The propaganda woman said

It might be worse you could be dead

Now we've an impressive show

Let's wind it up and watch it go

Still a strange thing to me

Is there's no place I'd rather be

Rollercoasting backwards to

Up and down and turning blue

No pie in the sky

For the small man gets smaller

But a poke in the eye

From an unwelcome caller

Still a strange thing to me

Is there's no place I'd rather be

Rollercoasting backwards to

Up and down and turning blue

Policeman's eyes on overload

A fractured island might explode

A million pieces washed ashore

From Disneyland to Warsaw

Let's have a rehearsal run

An underground holiday in the sun

Take time to sit and reflect

A white wall where the sun collects

Still a strange thing to me

Is there's no place I'd rather be

Rollercoasting backwards to

Up and down and turning blue

Time for TeaVer letra

letra de Time for Tea
Scouring through the wasteland

With an uge to take

Anything that comes into view

Only ten more puffs to tea time

I've found eating so time consuming

Willie, oh Willie she cried

It's time for tea

Willie, where in hell has he gone

It's time for tea

South of the wateland at your D.I.Y.

The inconsiderate rings his till

Offering plans of easy credit

Claims he'll cause a killing in the school half term

Willie, oh Willie she cried

It's time for tea

Willie, where in hell has he gone

It's time for tea

And welly well well well what have I found here

A hiding place made by frigid air

I think I'll try it on and give my mates a scare

They'll all be searching neither here nor there

Willie, oh Willie she cried

It's time for tea

Willie, where in hell has he gone

It's time for tea

Long depress of autumn breeze

Sucking on a rubber back teeth

Plays into the hands of the hardware man

Who selfishly "I don't care"

Waltz into MischiefVer letra

[X]
letra de Waltz into Mischief
The latest and greatest... amazing arrival

No conscience, no shame... for the game of survival

Thieves and villains... and fraudulent swindlers

Gathered in tribute... with masks of respect

A big hand, hurray! Oh come on you trustful

Let the band play a waltz into mischief

The chairman is speaking... instructs the apprentice

All faces are turned... to the wizard of sentence

Years of experience... fall from his tongue

Like teardrops to puddles... they rippled among

A big hand, hurray! Oh come on you trustful

Let the band play a waltz into mischief

This kid of the cowboys... of fastest deception

Writes down his kiddings... to ruptuous reception

Calls on the crowd... of white-pointed heads

To check on the carpets... while we're in our beds

(Nelly the elephant packed her trunk and said goodbye to the circus)

A big hand, hurray! Oh come on you trustful

Let the band play a waltz into mischief

A big hand, hurray! Oh come on you trustful

Let the band play a waltz into mischief

A big hand, hurray! Oh come on you trustful

Let the band play a waltz into mischief
