Somebody To Love

When the truth is found to be lies
and all the joys within you dies

don't you want somebody to love
don't you need somebody to love
wouldn't you love somebody to love
you better find somebody to love

When the garden flowers baby are dead yes
and your mind is full of red

don't you want somebody to love
don't you need somebody to love
wouldn't you love somebody to love
you better find somebody to love

your eyes, I say your eyes may look like his
but in your head baby I'm afraid you don't know where it is

don't you want somebody to love
don't you need somebody to love
wouldn't you love somebody to love
you better find somebody to love

tears are running ah running down your breast
and your friends baby they treat you like a guest

don't you want somebody to love
don't you need somebody to love
wouldn't you love somebody to love
you better find somebody to love

Today

Today I feel like pleasing you more than before
Today I know what I want to do but I don't know what for
To be living for you is all I want to do
To be loving you it'll all be there when my dreams come true
Today you'll make me say that I somehow have changed
Today you'll look into my eyes, I'm just not the same
To be anymore than all I am would be a lie
I'm so full of love I could burst apart and start to cry
Today everything you want, I swear it all will come true
Today I realize how much I'm in love with you
With you standing here I could tell the world what it means to love
To go on from here I can't use words, they don't say enought
Please, please listen to me
It's taken so long to come true
And it's all for you
all for you....

Coming Back To Me

The summer had inhaled
And held its breath too long.
The winter looked the same,
As if it had never gone,
And through an open window,
Where no curtain hung,
I saw you, I saw you,
Coming back to me.

One begins to read between
The pages of a look.
The sound of sleepy music,
And suddenly, you're hooked.
I saw you, I saw you,
Coming back to me.

You came to stay and live my way,
Scatter my love like leaves in the wind.
You always say that you won't go away,
But I know what it always has been,
It always has been.

A transparent dream
Beneath an occasional sigh...
Most of the time,
I just let it go by.
Now I wish it hadn't begun.
I saw you, I saw you,
Coming back to me.

Strolling the hill,
Overlooking the shore,
I realize I've been here before.
The shadow in the mist
Could have been anyone--
I saw you, I saw you,
Coming back to me.

Small things like reasons
Are put in a jar.
Whatever happened to wishes,
Wished on a star?
Was it just something
That I made up for fun?
I saw you, I saw you,
Coming back to me.

3/5 Of A Mile In Ten Seconds

Do away with people blowing my mind
do away with people wasting my precious time
take me to a simple place
where I can easily see my face
baby I can see that you're fine
know I love you baby, yes I do

do away with people laughing at my hair
do away with people climbing on my precious prayers
take me to a circus tent
where I can ease up and pay my rent
and all of the creeps will share my cares
know I love you baby, yes I do
do away with things that come all obscene
like hotrods real clean real fine nicotine

D.C.B.A. - 25

It's time you walked away and set me free--
I must move away, 'n' leave you be.
It has been good to us my friend,
Wait, and see how it will end.
We come and go as we please.
(Grace: We come and go as we please)
(Paul: That's how it has to be).

Here in this ocean, the near and holy,
Too many days I've left unstoned.
If you don't mind, happiness
Purple pleasure-fields in the sun
Ah don't you know I'm runnin' home
(Grace: Don't you know I'm runnin' home)
(Paul: To a place, for you unknown).

I take great peace in your sitting there(1).
Searching for myself, I find a place there(2).
I see the people of the world,
Where they are and what they could be.
I can but dance behind your smile
(Grace: I can but dance behind your smile)
(Paul: To [the] other world---to me, for a while)

White Rabbit

One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small,
And the ones that mother gives you
Don't do anything at all.
Go ask Alice
When she's ten feet tall.
And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you're going to fall,
Tell 'em a hookah smoking caterpillar
Has given you the call.
Call Alice
When she was just small.
When the men on the chessboard
Get up and tell you where to go
And you've just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving low.
Go ask Alice
I think she'll know.
When logic and proportion
Have fallen sloppy dead,
And the White Knight is talking backwards
And the Red Queen says "off with her head!"
Remember what the dormouse said:
"Feed your head. Feed your head. Feed your head"

Plastic Fantastic Lover

Her neon mouth with the blinking soft smile
Ain't nothing but an electric sign
You could say she has an individual style
She's a part of a carnival time

Super steel lady, chrome-colored clothes you wear
Cause you have no other
But I suppose no one knows
You're my plastic fantastic lover

Her rattling cough never shuts off
It's nothing but a used machine
Her aluminum finish, slightly diminished
Is the best I ever have seen

Cosmetic baby plugged into me
And never ever find another
But I realize no one's wise
To my plastic fantastic lover

The electrical dust is starting to rust
Her trapezoid thermometer taste
All the red tape is mechanical rape
Of the TV program waste

Data control and IBM
Science is mankind's brother
But all I see is draining me
Of my plastic fantastic lover

AQUALUNG

Sitting on a park bench, eyeing little girls with bad intent.
Snot running down his nose, greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes,
Hey, Aqualung.
Drying in the cold sun, watching as the frilly panties run, hey, Aqualung.
Feeling like a dead duck, spitting out pieces of his broken luck, oh, Aqualung.
Sun streaking cold an old man wandering lonely, taking time the only way he knows.
Leg hurting bad as he bends to pick a dogend, he goes down to the bog and warns his feet.
Feeling alone, the army's up the road, salvation a la mode and a cup of tea.
Aqualung my friend, don't you start away uneasy, you poor old sod, you see it's only me.
Do you still remember December's foggy freeze
when the ice that clings on to your beard is screaming agony.
And you snatch your ratteling last breaths with deep sea diver sounds,
and the flowers bloom like madness in the spring.

Locomotive Breath

In the shuffelin´ madness
of the locomotive breath
runs the all-time loser
headlong to his death

It feels the pistol scraping
steam breaking on his brow
old Charlie stole the handle and
the train it won't stop going
no way to slow down

He sees his children jumping off
at the stations - one by one
His woman and his best friend
in bed and having fun

He's crawling down the corridor
on his hands and knees
old Charlie stole the handle and
the train it won't stop going
no way to slow down

He hears the silence howling
catches angels as they fall
and the all-time winner
has got him by the balls

He picks up Gideons Bible
wich opened at page one
(I said) GOD He stole the handle and
the train it won't stop going
no way to slow down...

...no way to slow down...

Living in the past

Happy and I´m smiling,
walk a mile to drink your water.
You know I´d love to love you,
and above you there´s no other.
We´ll go walking out
while others shout of war´s disaster.
Oh, we won´t give in,
let´s go living in the past.
Once I used to join in
every boy and girl was my friend.
Now there´s revolution, but they don´t know
what they´re fighting.
Let us close out eyes;
outside their lives go on much faster.
Oh, we won´t give in,
we´ll keep living in the past.

To Cry You A Song

Flying so high, trying to remember
how many cigarettes did I bring along?
When I get down I'll jump in a taxi cab
driving through London town
to cry you a song.
It's been a long time
still shaking my wings.
Well, I'm a glad bird
I got changes to ring.
Closing my dream inside its paper-bag.
Thought I saw angels
but I could have been wrong.
Search in my case,
can't find what they're looking for.
Waving me through
to cry you a song.
It's been a long time
still shaking my wings.
Well I'm a glad bird
I got changes to ring.
Lights in the street,
peeping through curtains drawn.
Rattling of safety chain taking too long.
The smile in your eyes was never so sweet before
Came down from the skies
to cry you a song.

Witch's Promise

Lend me your ear while I call you a fool.
You were kissed by a witch one night in the wood,
and later insisted your feelings were true.
The witch's promise was coming,
believing he listened while laughing you flew.

Leaves falling red, yellow, brown, all are the same,
and the love you have found lay outside in the rain.
Washed clean by the water but nursing its pain.
The witch's promise was coming, and you're looking
elsewhere for your own selfish gain.

Keep looking, keep looking for somewhere to be,
well, you're wasting your time, they're not stupid like he is.
Meanwhile leaves are still falling, you're too blind to see.

oYu won't find it easy now, it's only fair.
He was willing to give to you, you didn't care.
You're waiting for more but you've already had your share.
The witch's promise is turning, so don't you wait up
for him, he's going to be late
