I used to rule the world Seas would rise when I gave the word Now in the morning I sleep alone Sweep the streets I used to own I used to roll the dice Feel the fear in my enemies' eyes Listen as the crowd would sing: Now the old king is dead, long live the king One minute I held the key Next the walls were closed on me And I discovered that my castles stand Upon pillars of salt, and pillars of

I heard you on the wireless back in Fifty-two lying awake intent at tuning in on you If I was young it didn't stop you coming through (aw-a aw-a) They took the credit for your second symphony rewritten by machine and new technology and now I understand the problems you can see (aw-a aw-a) I met your children (aw-a aw-a) What did you tell them?

I'm feeling rough, I'm feeling raw, I'm in the prime of my life Let's make some music, make some money, find some models for wives I'll move to Paris, shoot some heroin, and fuck with the stars You man the island and the cocaine and the elegant cars This is our decision, to live fast and die young We've got the vision, now let's have some fun Yeah it's overwhelming, but what else can we do Get

On bended knee is no way to be free Lifting up an empty cup I ask silently That all my destinations will accept the one that's me So I can breathe Circles they grow and they swallow people whole Half their lives they say goodnight to wives they'll never know Got a mind full of questions and a teacher in my soul And so it goes Don't come closer or I'll have to go Owning me like gravity are

Just like Philadelphia Freedom means a lot to me In between the place I’ve been And where I’m goin’ I can see America Tryin’ not to show her age Even though the winds of change Keep on blowin’ And I would lay your body down and rock your tears away But it’s much too late for now to be like yesterday And the time is running out and we still have to say Goodbye...

I once had a girl or should I say she once had me she showed me her room isn't it good Norwegian wood She asked me to stay and she told me to sit anywhere So I looked around and I noticed there wasn't a chair I sat on a rug biding my time drinking her wine we talked until two and then she said it's time for bed She told me she worked in the morning and started to laugh I told her I didn't

Blackbird singing in the dead of night Take these broken wings and learn to fly All your life You were only waiting for this moment to arise. Blackbird singing in the dead of night Take these sunken eyes and learn to see All your life You were only waiting for this moment to be free.

It's a dark road And a dark way that leads to my house And the word says That you're never gonna find me there, oh no I've got an open door It didn't get there by itself It didn't get there by itself. There's a feeling But you're not feeling it at all There's a meaning But you're not listening anymore I look at that open road I'm gonna walk there by myself. And if you catch me I might try to

God knows what is hiding in that weak and drunken heart I guess you kissed the girls and made them cry those hardfaced queens of misadventure God knows what is hiding in those weak and sunken eyes a fiery throng of muted angels giving love and getting nothing back People help the people and if your homesick, give me your hand and i'll hold it people help the people and nothing will drag you down

Another suburban family morning Grandmother screaming at the wall We have to shout above the din of our Rice Crispies We can't hear anything at all Mother chants her litany of boredom and frustration But we know all her suicides are fake Daddy only stares into the distance There's only so much more that he can take Many miles away Something crawls from the slime At the bottom of a dark Scottish

They'll look you in the eyes and stone you Then turn and disown you, Don't you let them take the fight outta you They'll walk all over your name 'til they find someone else to blame, Don't let them take the fight outta you Secrets hide their lies inside hidden alibis, Don't let them take the fight outta you They put the world on a hook, it's worse every time I look Don't let them take the

Every generation Blames the one before And all of their frustrations Come beating on your door I know that I'm a prisoner To all my father held so dear I know that I'm a hostage To all his hopes and fears I just wish I could have told him in the living years Crumpled bits of paper Filled with imperfect thought Stilted conversations I'm afraid thats all weve got You say you just don't see it He

Out of the moonlight in the month of May This ship would take her last breath Her full mast it was draping Like a mermaid she was dressed Her lonely heart is setting free All her cares they went sailing out to sea All those people gathered round Flocked to view that lovely sight All young maidens came to town They waved her out into the night She tried to clear the rocks with swelling sails The

I took my love, I took it down Climbed a mountain and I turned around I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills till the landslide brought me down Oh, mirror in the sky What is love Can the child within my heart rise above Can I sail through the changing ocean tides Can I handle the seasons of my life Well, I've been afraid of changing cause I've built my life around you But time makes you

Do I attract you? Do I repulse you with my queasy smile? Am I too dirty? Am I too flirty? Do I like what you like? I could be wholesome I could be loathsome I guess Im a little bit shy Why dont you like me? Why dont you like me without making me try?

Come, let me sing into your ear Those dancing days are gone All that silk and satin gear Crouch upon a stone Wrapping that foul body up In as foul a rag I carry the sun in a golden cup The moon in a silver bag. Curse as you may I sing it through What matter if the knave That the most could pleasure you The children that he gave Are somewhere sleeping like a top Under a marble flag I carry the

Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of ’97: Wear Sunscreen If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists, whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience. I will dispense this advice now.

Three little birds, sat on my window And they told me I don't need to worry Summer came like cinnamon So sweet, Little girls double-dutch on the concrete Maybe sometimes, we got it wrong, but it's alright The more things seem to change, the more they stay the same Oh, don't you hesitate Girl put your records on, tell me your favourite song You go ahead, let your hair down Sapphire and faded
