Every raindrop means a lot


The stars are shining on the lane
The flowers are in the sky
And they keep waiting for the rain
So they don't have to die

They built a house in our town
That has the shape of a brain
People will soon be moving in
As soon as it starts to rain

Every raindrop means a lot
One brain less for every drop
All I can see is there are many reasons

Fuzzy patterns


Aaaah

Fuzzy patterns are disturbing your mind
Fuzzy patterns of a different kind
Fuzzy patterns which are so hard to find
Aaaah
Aaaah

Shapeless figures are formed in your head
Shapeless figures which are driving you mad
Shapeless figures telling things that aren't true
Aaaah
Aaaah

Far distant voices keep you hazy and dazed
Far distant voices which are causing you tears
Far distant voices make you feel so distracted
Aaaah
Aaaah

Fuzzy patterns are disturbing your mind
Fuzzy patterns of a different kind
Fuzzy patterns which are so hard to find
Aaaah

Hear my lamentation


Ever since the day you let me down
Things have just been turning round
I can't concentrate in what I do
So hear my lamentation

Though we used to get along so fine
Now I'm growing out of mind
Things are no more real, my head is blown
So hear my lamentation

Out of time, out of mind
Out of light and out of love
Out of joy and life
Hear my lamentation

Just the thought of you keeps me alive
You're the vision on my mind
Things are no more real, my head is blown
So hear my lamentation

Out of time, out of mind
Out of light and out of love
Out of joy and life
Hear my lamentation

Ever since the day you let me down
Things have just been turning round
I can't concentrate in what I do
So hear my lamentation


One day


One day you'll find that her love was so strong, can't die
One day you'll find that she is gone
When she no longer wants you 'round she says goodbye
That day you'll see you have been wrong

Don't look around as though she's nothing worth to you
You know, I swear, ask me, without her you can't do

If you just realised how much she means to you
That the way you treat her wouldn't do
One day she'll no longer do the things she used to do
One day you'll find she'll fool with you

One day you'll find that her love was so strong, can't die
One day you'll find that she is gone
When she no longer wants you 'round she says goodbye
That day you'll see you have been wrong

Don't look around as though she's nothing worth to you
You know, I swear, ask me, without her you can't do


You're too incomprehensible


You're too incomprehensible, no, no, no
You're much too inconvincible, no, no, no
That I am dispensable to you

You're acting indefectable, no, no, no
And very much intractable, no, no, no
And so I feel indictable, that's true, that's true

Look here, why are you inaccessible?
Look here, my love is insuppressible
Look here, a-very incredible
Look here, you should be invincible
Look here

Combustible one
Impossible joy
Incredible guy
Need you no more
Escapable wound
Incapable me
Infringeable you
Tangible peace

You're too incomprehensible, no, no, no
You're much too inconvincible, no, no, no
That I am dispensable to you

You're acting inconfutable, no, no, no
It's very indisputable, no, no, no
It's nothing but refutable, that's true, that's true


Prisoner 763


763 was the number I got
They took my clothes and my hair did they cut
Gave me a suit and they showed me where I should stay

763 is my name

I am condemned

La la la la la la la la la
Hey, la la la la
La la la la la la la la la

Everything's free and my pals are so fine
Giving me pills without taking a dime
Knowing that I will be gone in a day or two

763 is my name
763 is my name
I am condemned
I am condemned

763 was the number I got
They took my clothes and my hair did they cut

Why do you hide it


Take off that mask you wear
I know there's something there
So soft, and so sweet
Why do you hide it?

Why don't you realise
That you've got something nice?
So soft, and so sweet
Why do you hide it?

I think you are the prettiest child a woman ever has borne
A shame it is that you can't take that mask off that you've always worn

So soft, and so sweet

Short song


She shuts her window when she sees who is coming in the street
She locks her door when she hears those steps in the stairs
But she can't keep from crying when she hear those steps walk away
But she can't keep from crying when she hear those steps walk away


She's having a baby now


She's having a baby now
That wasn't really meant to be
She's having a baby now
What will her future be?

She's trying to get a job in town
She had a pool of school worked out
And inside she feels upside down
It's going round, she's really down

She's having a baby now
With someone she no more knows
She's having a baby now
That's the way it often goes

She couldn't know he wouldn't stay
But now she knows he's gone away
Where he went he wouldn't say
He's gone to stay so far away

She's gonna have to leave her home
She's gonna have to live alone
She's gonna have to sit alone
With her baby, with her baby

She's trying to get a job in town
She had a pool of school worked out
And inside she feels upside down
It's going round, she's really down

Do you find it hard to see him living?
Living like the way that it was meant in the beginning

What about the games you used to play when you were twelve?

It's my life


Now I can laugh, I can dance, I can sing
I can do anything that I've always wanted to
And I can smell, I can hear, I can see

Mess it is, you say, as it is today

What a dreadful day, yesterday, now it seems so far away
No mystery, not a doubt, they are things I do without

Like a woman


Sha la la la
Sha la la la

She dresses in a special way though she knows what they say
She's only sixteen and she loves like a woman
She's only sixteen and she lives like a woman
She's only sixteen and she loves like a woman loves

She's heard a lot of people say that she's a bad girl
It doesn't bother her at all 'cause she knows why they say

She's a woman, only sixteen
Only sixteen, she's a woman

People without faces


People without faces take their car and wife and tent
And goes out camping in the summer while it's hot
People without faces, they are so concerned to do like everybody else

People without faces always tries to understand
What's going on in the minds of the young
People without faces, they've got much to do, as complain on a television show

Faceless people in our time
Faceless people all around

People without faces take their car and wife and tent
And goes out camping in the summer while it's hot
People without faces, they are so concerned to do like everybody else

People without faces always try to understand
What's going on in the minds of the young

I left my shoes at home


Sitting in the park
Waiting for the dark
I left my shoes at home
Toes there was no room
I left my shoes at home

Lying in the grass
Seeing people pass
And all of them got shoes
It hurts in their toes
All of them got shoes

I left my shoes at home
Under the table in the living-room
They didn't know they let me down
Ever since the day when I bought them in town

Sitting in the park
Waiting for the dark
I left my shoes at home
Toes there was no room
I left my shoes at home

Lying in the grass
Seeing people pass
And all of them got shoes
It hurts in their toes
All of them got shoes

I left my shoes at home
Under the table in the living-room
They didn't know they let me down
I left my shoes at home


She is a man


She's a man
I understand
Her name is Ted
A left hand partner, you know
Well, they call him Fred
He's great in bed
And within her head
Are mirrors and mixtures
Velvet pillows
Weeping willows blooming
In her eyes

She's a man, if you don't understand
Take a closer look
On the dark horse I read all about
In a funny book
Her voice leaves no choice
I'm aware she's had one shout
There's no doubt she will leave you
(She will leave you)
Blind

She's a man
I understand
Her name is Ted
A left hand partner, you know
Well, they call him Fred
He's great in bed
And within her head
Are mirrors and mixtures
Velvet pillows
Weeping willows blooming
In her eyes


Seeing with love

'Cause seeing with love is all that you need to be happy
Seeing with love is all that you need to be happy

Ever since I was a new-born boy, I've arranged to live my life in joy
Anything that doesn't please me, I've learnt to handle, it releases me
Anyone who is happy, he has found that life means seeing with love
And he lives and he loves his life all the time

Anyone who cannot see these things, I wish you'd try it just to see what it brings
You will see the meaning in your life, 'cause it's not meant to be a meaningless fight
Anyone who is happy, he has found that life means seeing with love
And he lives and he loves his life all the time

What's the time


What's the time? How's the food?
Do you like me in this mood?
Is there something that you want me to do?
She's a girl, yes, she is
And she loves to be kissed
On the chin when it's snowing

Is it right, is it wrong
That my love is so strong
For the girl who is living next to me?
Could you tell me the way
To the place where you stay?
And I'll come in a cab all the way

Oh, I wonder what you'd say
If she asked you to stay with her
Yes, I wonder what you'd say
If she asked you to stay with her

What's the time? How's the food?
Do you like me in this mood?
Is there something that you want me to do?


It's in a dream

Black and white, yellow and red, would never fight
It's in a dream, yeah, it's in a dream, yeah, it's in a dream, yeah

The people wouldn't steal, the people wouldn't starve, I wish it was real
It's in a dream, yeah, it's in a dream, yeah, it's in a dream, yeah

Wish I could take a look at it, happened all of the time
Wish I could take a look at it, happened all of the time

Think of what it would be like if all the soldiers were boys
It's in a dream, yeah, it's in a dream, yeah, it's in a dream, yeah
