Billy is a new man, he does the best he can
to figure out what it's about and what thehell he's meant to be.
He does the right thing when expected, nuff
respect , once in a while he likes a smoke and a joke, just as long as it's P.C.
And he thinks that he cries at the Movies
''cause he's in touch with his feminine side
Sally wants a proud man
Sally wants a proud man

Now keep this to yourself but
My love plays games with me
I don't mean gin or monopoly
Strings me along like some pet animal or other

Why do I play her game
When she can't even remember my name
Wish I could whistle like the "Big Sleep's" famous lover

You may never get to wander
along the corridors of power
where the files tell your story
beneath the bell that keeps it's secret by the hour
we wanna know what's it's got to say.

we know what you're doing
we know what you've got

Cold and lonely, tired and bored
Just like the day before
Missing out on life's reward
Of that you an be sure

So bring on the dancing girls
Take off the cold night and the sad day
Bring on the dancing girls

Let him be me... Let him be me...
Well, I am the yesman
I stay in line, I do what they tell me
Well, I am theirs but I'm still mine
I do what they tell me, I do what they say
Taking orders as they come, I do what they tell me
Always silent, never dumb
I do what they tell me, I do what they say

He's the wasp in the jam, he's the dad at the party
The trash in the beauty spot
He's the cloud in the sky, he's the fly in the ointment
The nail in the parking lot

Let's give the man a hug then put him out to grass
Feel sorry for the bug, the one that's up his ass
We're pulling out the plug, we're turning on the gas

your mind can play tricks
makes you what you want to be
just like superheroes
you saw them on tv

coast to coast, wall to wall
got to go, duty calls
here i am

i wouldn't if i were you
thank god we're not
my finger shoots straight and true
that shows a lot

just try it on if you dare
so tough so free
my shoulder has chips to spare

Whenever I want some company
Whenever I need a song to play
Whenever my love is sitting by me
And when I can't find the words to say

I let the drums do the talking
When I can do with some conversation
Whenever I'm deep in sorrow or pain

If you wrote a book with a page for
Each memory
And put it in hardback for people to buy
The critics would laugh, yeah, they'd call
It ridiculous
And sit around waiting for Porky to fly

The truth is stranger than fiction

"Find Me An Angel"

I can feel this body moving, it's like
I'm going for a ride
It's on automatic pilot, nothing going on inside
Yeah I dress it in Versace and I feed it a la carte
But there's no fire in its belly, there's no passion in its heart

It's dark in there and you're quite unaware
That the cracks on the ceiling are mocking you
Your airless bag, your dust in a shaft of light
And you think you might
Yeah you might stay there all day
Heh heh

Get up, get on your feet

I think I'll call the whole thing off
A joke's a joke, it isn't funny anymore
Enoughs enough
Now I forget what I was fighting for
I played the game
I lost
I even took the blame
I lost

Look at you glowing all shiny and fresh
Standing alone looking over the edge
It's a long way down
I wish I could give you a bullet proof skink
I wish I could show you the world that you're in
But I can't
You wouldn't understand
So there's not a lot I can say

I thumb the pages one by one
What if a little bit rubs off on me
Soak up the pictures til I'm gone
Dreams for the dreamers, food for fantasy
Yey, I'm hanging by the pool
And I'm looking like a fool
But I don't mind
Easy life

They meet in a cafe, it's love at first sight
They sit there the whole day, they talk there the whole day
They're gonna get married, they're tying the not
They're giving it everything, yeah all that they've got

How sad we were to hear your news
How much you had, so much to lose
How sweet the bird that sings the blues away

closing in on empty spaces
winners laugh too soon
a paper world with paper faces
beneath a paper moon

there's a man, a real pacesetter
coming after me
and after him there's someone better and

forty winks in the lobby
make mine a G&T
then to my favourite hobby
searching for an enemy

here in your paper houses
stretching for miles and miles
old men in stripey trousers

I've got a mate,
I've got a mate called Stevie
I'd trust him with my life,
But never with my secrets,
My money or my wife
We'd sing until we're sung out
We'd laugh until we cry

Another cat amongst the pigeons
Another spanner in the scheme of things
I don't know why it shakes him up so much
He's so out of touch with me
It isn't easy finding something new
The Bible bashers beat you black and blue
Fire and brimstone raining down on you
But do you know it's true

I pretend that I'm glad you went away
But these four walls close in more every day
And I'm dying inside and nobody knows it but me
Like a clown I put on a show
The pain is real even if nobody knows
And I'm crying inside and nobody knows it but me
Why didn't I say the things I needed to say
How could I let my angel get away

One day, you'll be on your own
You won't have a shout any more
One day, you'll be in the ground
You're over and out, and
You've missed the last tube home

One day, you'll be on your own
You won't have a shout any more

I catch my breath and ready for the race to come
No prizes call, the contest is my opium
Since you can never be sure
When they're keeping the score
You must always be ready to run
I tense myself Waiting for the starting gun
No time for fun Because

Do you see that metal man building your car?
That's progress!
When you don't know who the real ones are
That's progress!
I'd like to watch TV tonight
But I've got to paint my windows white
If the blues don't get you, then the valium might
That's progress!

black vinyl man with black plasticised imagination
more fodder for the new lost generation
i got a question to send you to the nearest closet
why can't you let us do it like JONI does it
there you go again, giving it your very best
trying so hard to make it sound like all thee rest
and as your factory sanctifies your wooden soul
you gave us T.V. dinners, now it's T.V. rock 'n' roll

I would go to hell in a hat
If you asked me to, my love
It might be a good thing at that
For me

I would catch the breeze from the trees
And the stars from up above
I'd go round the world on my knees

With an air of independence
She walks into your domain
You are captured by her beauty
You can feel her taking aim
And the way she lets her hair down
Sets a pounding in your head
But you get the strangest feeling
That she wouldn't care if you were dead

You're putting on your brave face, packing up your bag
Plucking up the courage you didn't know you had
The Demons and the doubters are fighting in your head
But they'll go quiet when you knock 'em dead

So long my old friend
Hope we get to laugh again
So long my old friend

Sear of faces
Rolling on the big wave
Wish that I could dive right in
Shiny faces,
Glowing in the light rays
Smiling at me, sink or swim
I put my words upon their lips
I put my body at their finger tips

Drink the good stuff down in one
Call for another, have yourself some fun
Here's to the good life, drink it down
Stick around
The morning after, playing dead
Don't see the black clouds gather overhead
Consequences raining down

Rise and greet the great pretender
He's young and hungry for your crown
Do you want it?
Do yuo want my place?
You can take my place
Do you want it?
Do you want my place?
You can take my place

I'm not giving you excuses
But I'm not as young as I once was
But still I come with many uses
Like vaseline does

I'm pretty good at doing man stuff
I'll come and fix your squeeky door
And charm the lids off all your jam jars

i got two strong arms
blessings of babylon
with time to carry on
and try
for sins and alarms
so to america the brave
wise men save

Shades of all shades
Every shape and size
Promised parties in the air
Danced before her eyes
But where did love go
And where were you
On the day they turned violet to blue
Friends of all friends

You've had it all and you wanted more
You've had nothing and you wanted for nothing
You take a look through the open door
See it all going on out there
Time goes by, time goes by
And if you didn't laugh you could almost cry

What do you think of it so far?

Half-way to paradise or so it seems that way
Same as anyone the same as any other day.
We seek eternity in all the things we buy
Not top priority but it sure figures very high.
Who steals the real world
fooling us all as it goes

And who gets to heaven - heaven knows.

He made a record
it made him famous
yes it made him a star.
The life and soul of the party
he rocks he shocks

You never know where you are with him.
He got no sense but he got money

I got it bad
You don't know how bad I got it
You got it easy
You don't know when you've got it good

It's getting harder
Just keeping life and soul together
I'm sick of fighting

I got it bad, you don't know how bad I got it
You got it easy, you don't know when you've got it good
It's getting harder, just keeping life and soul together
I'm sick of fighting, even though I know I should

The cold is biting
Through each and every nerve and fiber
My broken spirit is frozen to the core

off to face the world again
past the bathroom mirror
ignorance is bliss, they say
couldn't be much clearer

imaging what might have been
thinking it could still be
all the lost years in between
