You need a new songI'll set the words up so they tear right at your soulDon't take me too longBut there's a danger that I'll plagiarize something old My fingers kill me as I play my guitar'Cause I've been chewing down at my nailsMy hairline ain't exactly superstarBut there's one thing that never failsThis never fails I write the same old song with a few new linesAnd everybody wants to cheer itI write the same old song you heard a good few timesAdmit you really want to hear it Whenever I see youYou always treat me like I'm some kind of perfect manJust 'cause I please youYou explain, but you don't think I can understand My head is spinning as I scrawl with my pen'Cause I've been pouring vodka in my soulNothing really ever changes my friendNew lamps for oldNew lamps for old We sing the same old song, just like a vintage carYou can look but you won't ever drive itWe drink the same old wine from a brand new jarWe get hung over, but we always survive it Turn on the radioLove is proclaimedAgain and again and againJoin in and singNow, don't be ashamedLet it rain, let it rain, let it rainLet it rain, let it rain, let it rain, let it rainLet it rain... We hum the same old lines to a different crowdAnd everybody wants to cheer itWe run on endless time to reach a higher cloudBut we never ever seem to get near it (We sing the, same old songSame old song) (We sing the, same old song)We sing the same old song, just like a vintage car(Same old song)You can look but you won't ever drive it(We sing the, same old song)We drink the same old wine from a brand new jar(Same old song)We get hung over, but we always survive it(We sing the, same old song)Same old song(Same old song)Whoo!(We sing the, same old song)Sing the same old song(Same old song...)

I've had enough of bein' niceI've had enough of right and wrongI've had enough of tryin' to love my brother I've had enough of bein' goodAnd doin' everything like I'm told I shouldIf you need a lover, you'd better find another Life is for the livingOoh, yeahTakers never giving Suspicion takes the place of trustMy love is turning into lustIf you get on the wrong side of me you better run for cover I've had enough of bein' trodden onMy passive days are gonna be long goneIf you slap one cheek, well, I ain't gonna turn the other Life is for the livingTakers never giving Fooling no onebut ourselvesGood is dying Here comes the endHere comes the end of the world I'm gettin' sick of this universeAin't gonna get better; it's gonna get worseAnd the world's gonna sink with the weight of the human race Hate and fear in every faceI'm gettin' ready and I've packed my caseIf you find somewhere better, can you save my place? Fooling no one but ourselvesLove is dying Here comes the endHere comes the endof the world

Mother was an incubatorFather was the contentsof a test tube in the ice boxIn the factory of birth My name is 905And I've just become aliveI'm the newest populatorOf the planet we call Earth In suspended animationMy childhood passed me byIf I speak without emotionThen you know the reason why Knowledge of the universeWas fed into my mindAs my adolescent bodyLeft its puberty behind And everything I know is what I need to knowAnd everything I do's been done beforeEvery sentence in my headSomeone else has saidAt each end of my life is an open door Automatically defrostedWhen manhood came on timeI became a manI left the "ice school" behind Now I'm to beginThe life that I'm assignedA life that's been used beforeA thousand times I have a feeling deep insideThat something is missingIt's a feeling in my soulAnd I can't help wishing That one day I'll discoverThat we're living a lieAnd I'll tell the whole worldThe reasons why But, until then, all I know is what I need to knowAnd everything I do's been done beforeEvery idea in my headSomeone else has saidAt each end of my life is an open door

As I walked through that hospital doorI was sewn up like a coatI got a smile from the bite of the windWatched the fresh fall of snow I knew then that my life took a turnI felt strong and secureAnd with adhesive tape over my noseI felt almost demure Goodbye Sister DiscoWith your flashing trash lampsGoodbye Sister DiscoAnd to your clubs and your tramps Goodbye Sister DiscoMy dancin's left you behindGoodbye now you're soloBlack plastic deaf dumb and blind Goodbye, goodbye Sister DiscoNow I goI go where the music fits my soulAnd I, I will never let goI'll never let goTill the echo of the street fight has dissolved I will choose nightmares and cold stormy seasI will take over your grief and diseaseI'll stay beside you and comfort your soulWhen you are lonely and broken and old Now I walk with a man in my faceOoh a woman in my hairI've got you all lookin' out through my eyesMy feet are a prayer Goodbye Sister DiscoWith your flashing trash lampsGoodbye Sister DiscoAnd to your clubs and your tramps Goodbye Sister DiscoMy dancin's left you behindGoodbye now you're soloBlack plastic deaf dumb and blind (Extended Version includes the following lyrics): Goodbye Sister DiscoTake me where the music fits my soul,Goodbye Sister DiscoTake me where the street fights have dissolved.

Deep in the back of my mind is an unrealized soundEvery feeling I get from the street says it soon could be foundWhen I hear the cold lies of the pusher, I know it existsIt's confirmed in the eyes of the kids, emphasized with their fists But the high has to rise from the lowLike volcanoes explode through the snowThe mosquito's sting brings a dreamBut the poison's derange The music must changeFor we're chewing a boneWe soared like the sparrow hawk fliedThen we dropped like a stoneLike the tide and the wavesGrowing slowly in rangeCrushing mountains as old as the EarthSo the music must changeChange! Sometimes at night, I wake up and my body's like iceThe sound of the running wild stallion, the noise of the miceAnd I wondered if then I could hear into all of your dreamsI realize now it was really the sound of your screams But death always leads into lifeBut the street fighter swallows the knifeAm I so crazy to feel that it's here prearranged? The music must changeIt's gets higher and higherSmoldering like leaves in the sunThen it bursts into fireIts rhythm grows strongIt's so new and so strangeLike bells in the clouds, then againThe music must changeChange! But is this song so different?Am I doing it all again?It may have been done beforeBut then music's an open door Deep in the back of my mind is an unrealized soundEvery feeling I get from the street says it soon could be foundWhen I hear the cold lies of the pusher, I know it existsIt's confirmed in the eyes of the kids, emphasized with their fists But the high has to rise from the lowLike volcanoes explode through the snowThe mosquito's sting brings a dreamBut the poison's derange The music must changeFor we're chewing a boneWe soared like the sparrow hawk fliedThen we dropped like a stoneLike the tide and the wavesGrowing slowly in rangeCrushing mountains as old as the EarthThe music must change.

Wide awake in the middle of the nightI wonder how she's feelin'Is it just a trick of the lightOr is her ceiling peeling? She's sitting up in bed, shakin' her headAt a copy of "True Confessions"Ooh, it must seem like a fairy taleTo a woman of her profession But was I all right? (Was I all right?)Did I take you to the height of ecstasy?Was I all right? (Was I all right?)Did a shadow of emotion cross your faceOr was it just another trick of the light? But was I all right? (Was I all right?)Did I take you to the height of ecstasy?Was I all right? (Was I all right?)Did a shadow of emotion cross your faceOr was it just another trick of the light? Come on, tell meWhat's a nice girl like you doin' in a place like this?They don't make girls like you no moreAnd I'd like to get to know youOn closer terms than thisBut I guess you've heard it all before Lady of the nightWon't you steal away with me?Lady of the nightWon't you steal away with me? The money's lyin' on the floor, she looks at meShakes her head and sighsOut of time, out the doorRed light shinin' in my eyes But was I all right? (Was I all right?)Did I take you to the height of ecstasy?Was I all right? (Was I all right?)Did a shadow of emotion cross your face All right?But was I all right?All right?

You're alone above the street somewhere Wondering how you'll ever count out there You can walk, you can talk, you can fight But inside you've got something to write In your hand you hold your only pen Never spend your guitar or your pen Your guitar or your pen Your guitar or your pen Your guitar or your pen Your guitar or your pen When you take up a pencil and sharpen it up When you're kicking the fence and still nothing will budge When the words are immobile until you sit down Never feel they're worth keeping, they're not easily found Then you know in some strange unexplainable way You must really have something Jumping, thumping, fighting, hiding away Important to say When you sing through the verse and you end in a scream And you swear and you curse cos the rhyming ain't clean But it suddenly comes after years of delay You pick up your guitar and you can suddenly play When your fingers are bleeding and your knuckles are white Then you can be sure, you can open the door Get up off the floor tonight You have something to write When you wanna complain there's no one can stop you But when your music proclaims there's no one can top youYou are wearing your heart on your jumping feet You've got a head start away from the street But is that what you want, to be rich and be goneCould be there's just one thing left in the end Your guitar and your pen When you sing to your Mum and you hum and you croon And she says that she'd like it "with more of a tune" And you smash your guitar at the end of the bed Then you stick it together and start writing again And you know that it won't be too long till your back To bring her some money, she's calling you honey Stashed in a bloody great sack In your Cadillac You're alone You're alone You're alone above the street somewhere Wondering how you'll ever count out there You can walk, you can talk, you can fight But inside you've got something to write In your hand you hold your only pen Never spend your guitar or your pen Your guitar or your pen Your guitar or your pen Your guitar or your pen Your guitar or your pen Your guitar or your pen Your guitar or your pen Your guitar or your pen Your guitar or your pen Never spend your guitar or your pen

Surrounded by peopleA real heavy crowdBut inside I still feel lonely now Should I get awayFrom the high heels so proudIs there something different life can show me now First chance - I blew it, I better start it all againSecond chance - Ooh, I knew it wouldn't be as easy as they saidThird chance - I'm cut up, life's like a razor's edgeFourth chance - Ooh, I'm all shut up and I'm standing on the ledge And I'm goin' down (I'm goin' down)Goin' down (I'm goin' down)Goin' down (I'm goin' down)Ooh, down I'm not a loserBut did I really win?Can I afford to go through it all again? I hope I don't sound As immature as I feelBut when I get wise, I'll give you a call, my friend First chance - I blew it, I better start it all againSecond chance - Ooh, I knew it wouldn't be as easy as they saidThird chance - I'm cut up, life's like a razor's edgeFourth chance - I'm all shut up and I'm standing on the ledge Now I'm goin' down (I'm goin' down)Goin' down (I'm goin' down)Goin' down (I'm goin' down)Ooh, down (down) Love is coming down on me, ooh yeahLove is burning, teaching, turning out in meLove is coming down, downDown, downDown, down I'm not a loserBut did I really win?I'm lookin' forward to doin' it all again

Who are you?Who who, who who?Who are you?Who who, who who?Who are you?Who who, who who?Who are you?Who who, who who? I woke up in a Soho doorwayA policeman knew my nameHe said "You can go sleep at home tonightIf you can get up and walk away"I staggered back to the undergroundAnd the breeze blew back m[...] Unfortunately, we are not licensed to display the full lyrics for this song at the moment.

When you look through the lights to the stageYou see the man of your dreamsYou think his life's full of parties and loveBut it's not what it seems If you could see in his room right nowYou'd see how much love is showedThere's never really any romance on the road His forehead seems cut in twoBy the crease in his browHe chews his nails and he fidgetsJust trying to settle on down The TV channels keep flickingHis adrenaline slowedThere's never really any romance on the road Oh no There's never romance on the roadOnly frustration and overloadHe could fall in love, but he'd never knowFor she's only ridingAnd he's only hiding He's sure to askShe won't say noBut there's never really any romance on the road He was up in the bar straight-backed, did you see him before?Did he sign you his name, come with me, listen in at his door? Hear himself so drunk calling home, can't remember the codeYou know, there's never really any romance on the road, oh no no no He's held some beautiful girls in his armsBut now he clutches his bikeWhatever good did they do in him now, he might as well be a mic For his memories aren't worth a thingTill he's old and he's goneAnd his past never quite catches upThe show's moving on Did he say he kept a picture of a blonde-haired girlWho'd been kindWhen he was last home his own daughterBrought it into his mind Maybe closing bars and jetsPaid some debts that he owedBut there's never really any romance on the road There's never romance on the roadOnly frustration and overloadHe's never learned a thing from the dust that blowed On stage for an hourOn a laser beam towerBut you know he slept while a neon glowedThere's never really any romance on the road There's never romance on the roadOnly frustration and overloadHe could fall in loveBut he'd never knowFor she's only ridingAnd he's only hiding He's sure to askBut she won't say noThere's never really any romance on the road
