You got your feelings
Your old fashioned feelings
About the world and its ways
No retribution
No simple solution
I think we're caught in a maze

And all the plunder
That feeling down under
It tends to gnaw at you
We're in the grip it's a total Eclipse
The tyre fitter's got you

Now let me explain
This feeling of pain
Comes from the man at the top.
His grip is so tight
His political might
The tyre fitter will not stop

He's bleeding your brain
He'll drive you insane
Nobody making a move
He'll give you a pen
But he's got him a gun
The tyre man is oh so shrewd

I'm licking my wounds
And mending my bones
And catching the wind out of town
We're all in the grip of a tyre fitter's hand
It's only doing me harm

Running away
Just isn't the way
You got to get it yourself
Watch what we do
We just gotta make do
And hide away on the shelf

Breadfan
Open up your mind
Open up your purse
Open up your bones
Never, never gonna lose it

Breadfan
Take it all away
Never give an inch
Gotta make a mint
Gotta make me a million

Breadfan
You got it wrong
Some long time friend's gonna lose it
In the end who's a fool

Seagull
Give it all away
Stay a bird
Stay a man
Stay a ghost
Stay what you wanna be

Loser
Give it all away
Never stay with the winner
With the man
With all the filthy money

Come on
Keep it on the side
With a ride
On a record on the top
If you're gonna be a bad boy

Breadfan
You got it wrong
Some long time friend's gonna lose it
In the end who's a fool

Seagull
Give it all away
Stay a bird
Stay a man
Stay a ghost
Stay what you wanna be

When I was a little boy
They would say to me
Don't go in the world and play
It's bad company

All they had was child and faith
Let him grow and let him wait
Just to find out what it was to be free

But now I'm over twenty one
Growing up I've had my fun
And I know it's got to be

Baby lying in a womb
Are you free or in a tomb
Let me in,
I feel I want to cry.

Oh the road is long
Oh the road is long
Come on back, back.

Wash your hands and up to bed
Mind your manners
Or you're dead
Mind the cars cos you've got school on Monday

Put my trust in God
Who is he I know not what
Something mummy said one Sunday.

Maybe love is life but life is not
It's something I need plenty of.
Oh! I wish I'd died and never lived a day.

Now there's no one near me now
Tell me what to do and how
Take me back and sing my cares away.

Take me let me sing my cares away
Oh! the road is there
Oh that road is there
Come on back, back.

Oh! I'm empty now
Rainy pain has left me now.
Think of what my people used to say.

Black is black and white is white
Which to choose and which is right
Guide me to a place where I can stay.

Wrap me up and keep me warm
Hide myself far from the storm
Sleep and love will keep my mind at rest.

Only now I realise what my parents had to try.
Love you all and keep you all my life.

Oh that road is there
Oh the road is there
Come on back, back.

Living ain't easy it opens your head
Layin' and prayin' you wish you were dead
When I was born I was given a will
That the meaning of life is
I'm in for the kill

Loving knowing giving showing
Love is seeing and ever being
Motor cruising midnight boozing
Altar singing and bells that are ringing

You got a reason to listen to me
For I am a messenger carrying the key
Money is nothing to hold into wills
And the meaning of life is
I'm in for the kill

You see me moving around playing on people's minds
But I won't be for nobody I only have a way of return
Take me make me do what you want
You ain't gonna mock up me
Well I am the tolls and I am the right
And I am the earth and the sea

Hey there you with a lock that is boozed
Gonna say it with a face that's red
It's only the ones who can take the pain
Who can take that golden hat
I'm only trying to help you love in a world
That is hot and rough
It's me and you and a cat named boo
And a woman who has run out of stuff

Look inside and you will see
The words are cutting deep inside my brain
Thunder burnin' quickly burning
Knife of words is driving me insane, insane

Raven black is on my track
He shows me how to neutralize the knife
Show to me in surgery
The art of fighting words to conquer life, conquer life yeah

Now the wicked lance of fear
Is driven from my heady mountain brain
Crash course in brain surgery
Has stopped the bloody knife of words again yeah, yeah, yeah

There's a light
Covers up my doorway
Flickering light
Never run away
And I might, I might be going your way
Say you might
Might help me on my way

Umm what a sight
Sight of vertigo
Keep you warm
And never let go

And the light coming my way
Compare to what others have seen
But the tall and the strong
He once had it
As a sound that was loud in his dream

And I stand locked before the waves
Wind and snow, heaven and night
And you know
Wherever men like that stay
I can feel it burning in my eyes

And the light coming my way
Compare to what others have seen
But the tall and the strong
He once had it
As a sound that was loud in his dream

Heaven's sound it's driving me wild
If only I know that it's right
I got this message that makes me feel good
Carries me on through the night

Hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me

Well I go through life like a hurricane lamp
Riding the road as I go
Spreading this magic
Injecting the light
Please let it stay, never go

Hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me

I think I'm Napoleon
And others before
I rather seem to exist
Hey now follow it, follow it
Keep it in sight
Before you would never have missed

Hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me

Oh hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Oh, well I ain't got nothing
I got nothing to say
To the right man

I don't mean nothing
I got nothing to feel
For the right man

I ain't got nothing
You been running away
From your one

Who do you want for your love
I got nothing
Take my time
I'm a wild one

And if I'd ever tried to lover instead
Lord, I'm like a son
Yeah, I don't know whose to blame
The same way as he
Who do you want for

I ain't messin' 'round your head
Don't you ever turn your back on a friend
so ye come girl to my bed
Armed and ready, come to bed, bed

Well I've been getting bad vibes
Living in the smoke
Try and tell a good friend
But it sounds a joke
Giving up the good things
Changing all my ways
It is going bad girl
Now I will be saved
Yes, I wish I could be strong
Living with the good winds
That I waited long

Oooh now
Hear me calling out your name
Here's a lesson that you gave
don't you do that, do it bad
Keep your cool girl
Pay your debt

Oh hear me moving
Hear me moving
Hear me moving
Hear me moving
Working fast
Working working working, hear me please

I've been running from a dark horse
I can't lose it
I've been calling to an old cross
Don't excuse it

Well I've paid them back, and I'm alright
Gotta mean kinda woman, she's outta sight
Well I don't mind not sitting in the old booth
At the back, don't break the house rules

I go looking for my ego
Don't explain it
No more laughing I believe girl
Just sustain it

Well I got a home and it's alright
With a mean kinda woman, she's outta sight
Well I don't know 'bout messing up the old school
Don't mind 'bout breading all the house rules

I got things I wanna do girl
Don't abuse it
I don't wanna be a bad boy
You don't fool me

Well you don't need me
Well that's alright
What a guy's gotta live with
Is outta sight
I just wanna eat anything paid for
You're a --- goodness, lips of danger
It's a beast

Hey, hey, I'm breaking my rules
Oh yeah

I don't need no one to tell me
I don't need no one to tell me
What to do girl

No, no no no, said no
Oh, oh, girl, alright

Well, here we go
I got things I wanna do girl
Don't abuse it
I don't wanna be a bad boy
You don't fool me

Well I've been mean
Well that's alright
Got a cat kinda woman
She's outta sight
I just wanna be everything you told me
You don't sit philosophy
Yes it is

Hey hey, Oh, hey, hey, hey, ooh
Hey hey hey hey hey hey, hey hey hey hey yeah
I don't need no one to tell me
I don't need no one to tell me
What to do girl
