I know not everybody know it Not everybody shows it Can you tell me why I feel like a joke I jump high on command And I don’t seem to understand Why you walk out on me and I pick up the pieces I can’t do nothing I can’t do anything right I don’t know how much you care And I don’t know if you’re aware Of everything that you know Around and round, round we go Cigarette burnt to the end And I don’t seem to comprehend Why you walk out on me and I pick up the pieces I can’t do nothing I can’t do anything right Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh I can’t do nothing I can’t do anything right Right Right

I’m not always entertainment I’m not always on your mind And I’m falling down the spiral You’re not listening half the time I’m trying I’m changing I’m tuning into your dial And I swear that one day I’ll do my best to keep you occupied But I was just something Something to do I was just something To pass the time I was just something Something to do I was just something To pass the time Always in the middle And I’m always in my prime But your friends and your disciples They don’t listen to me half the time I’m trying I’m changing I’m tuning into your dial And I swear that one day I’ll do my best to keep you occupied But I was just something Something to do I was just something To pass the time I was just something Something to do I was just something To pass the time I was just something And I was just something I was just something And I was just something Something to do

With all of my time With all that I do I don’t know about you I lose myself when I lose control And I don’t know about you But I’m not myself when I look in your eyes And this may come as a surprise But I can’t seem to help myself I can’t seem to help myself or you I can’t seem to help myself or you With all of your time With all that you do I still don’t know about you Out of my shell and doing so well I don’t know about you But I’m not myself when I look in your eyes And this may come as a surprise But I can’t seem to help myself I can’t seem to help myself or you I can’t seem to help myself or you I can’t seem to help myself or you I can’t seem to help myself or you I can’t seem to help myself or you I can’t seem to help myself or you

One Way Road 01:53
Keep the door open And always in view I watch it fall down as the sun comes streaming through And I take all I can get As I watch the sunrise set Down on the city where we come from In a one way road with you A one way road with you A one way road with you Stop right now if you don’t think like I do I’m up all night and wondering if you do And if your mind is set Well I hope you won’t regret Leaving the city where we belong In a one way road with you A one way road with you A one way road with you A one way road with you A one way road with you A one way road with you

I want to stay but I don’t feel right Coz you were out of your mind I thought I saw and I thought I heard That you don’t like my kind Is he worth more than what I got Coz I don’t beg and plead It’s moving quick and gaining speed And that’s just what I need Why can’t you see That you were just like me Why can’t you see See that you were just like me Got it made don’t push me round Coz if I fall I’ll make a sound Indecision amplified In the corner of my eye Why can’t you see That you were just like me Why can’t you see To see that you were just like me See that you were just like me Why can’t you see what you can’t see (See what you can’t see) Why can’t you see what you can’t see (See what you can’t see) Why can’t you see what you can’t see (See what you can’t see) Why can’t you see what you can’t see (See what you can’t see)

I said to myself Why am I here and what do I know? Yeah And I looked into your heart And it was broke right from the start Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh I said to myself Why am I here and what do I know? Yeah And I looked into your eyes And what I saw to my surprise Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh I said to myself Why am I here and what do I know? Yeah And I looked into your heart And it was broke right from the start Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh oh

I think I’ll walk away while the other people stare Hiding from the rain and the minutes in the day If I turn around then I know what I’ll see That everybody tries, but I don’t really care I’m not there I’m not there Counting down the hours and the minutes in the day It came in on itself while the other people stray And everybody tries while the other people stare But everybody tries, but I don’t really care But I’m not there I’m not there I’m not there I’m not there I’m not there I’m not there

Act Your Age 02:26
Hold me to your magnifying glass and work me out Coz my head’s a city and you’re paving all my streets with doubt You’ve got your mind Set on it You got your heart Set on it You got your sights Set on it And your thoughts Set on it Don’t believe a thing you’ve read And of all the stupid things I’ve said You should learn to act your age You should’ve learnt to behave Just coz something’s cheap Doesn’t mean you always need it Just coz something’s starving Doesn’t mean you need to feed it Got your heart Set on it You’ve got your mind Set on it You’ve got your sights To set on it And your thoughts Set on it Don’t believe a thing you’ve read And of all the stupid things I’ve said You should learn to act your age You should’ve learnt to behave

One day I’ll figure it out That I just want what she’s handing out Dive into trouble with my eyes You’re the only one I fall over myself I just don’t need no help Guiding myself through the haze of the only one No one wants to hear about One thing they can do without And I’m not going anywhere And I’m not going anywhere I stand in hands of the summer Because I declined the hand of another Dive into depths The haze of the only one She’s right when I’m wrong Fills in this vacant love song Struck by the haze in the gaze of the only one But no one wants to hear about One thing they can do without And I’m not going anywhere And I’m not going anywhere And I’m not going anywhere And I’m not going anywhere
10.
You can read me all the books that are on your shelf You can even raise the dead without my help Every minute, every hour you’re wasting time Because useless things are made on a production line In a panic, a panic, a panic, a panic Sealing letters shut for no one’s eyes You say I better watch or we’ll find out Because all I hear is static on my phone line In a big, in a big city In a big, in a big city And the kids and the cops they just don’t play fair They all end up in stitches in palliative care When the smokes from the stacked wind in your hair They’re polishing the pavement, so don’t walk there Every minute, every hour you’re wasting time When useless things are made on a production line When no one wants to hear the words from your mouth You bet they’ll be watching when the birds fly south In a big, in a big city In a big, in a big city
11.
I won’t be the one who always knows your name And I won’t be the one who always feels your pain A moment in the sun in everything I say And you will be the one who’s always in the way But you don’t have to lie to You don’t have to lie to me You don’t have to lie to You don’t have to lie to me I can’t be the one to always know your name And I can’t be the one who always gets the blame And I can’t really take the shadows and the shame Must you be the one who’s always in my way? But you don’t have to lie to You don’t have to lie to me You don’t have to lie to You don’t have to lie to me You don’t have to lie to You don’t have to lie to me You don’t have to lie to You don’t have to lie to me You don’t have to lie to You don’t have to lie to me You don’t have to lie to You don’t have to lie to me
