Don't want to talk with you no more
Don't want to shut that door on you Only want to stop what's causing this commotion This ain't a case of pick and choose It's more about if you win or lose This is the way, it's not about my emotions Love, hope, peace, justice I'm sick and tired of what I see I've found another way to be Cos everything I see is blighted, or it's rusted I'll take a chance and turn away I'm giving up on you today Cos if I don't I know I will be busted Love, hope, peace, justice 02. Dead Men Don't Talk Music & lyrics by Burke Shelley, Simon Lees
Dead men don't talk.
I can see that you don't give a damn Your big sneer because of who I am You've got me down with your master plan So? I guess you're scared if I "spill them beans" You don't know what love means You're more concerned about designer jeans So? Unite tonight and say I'm right Dead men don't talk Unite tonight you know I'm right Dead men don't talk Tried the water with the tip of my toes So sad had to blow my nose Too hot, that's the way it goes So? Don't worry about the knock on the door Can't talk cos I'm on that floor Ain't going to be a threat no more So? Don't care if you crush my thumbs Or use my head like a kettledrum You're good ways are going to stay undone So? 03. We're All Living In Cuckooland Music & lyrics by Burke Shelley
I can see we're tumbling down to earth
As for me I'm falling for all I'm worth Everything that's wrong isn't right for me I'm not wrong cos right is the way to be You know, you know We're all living in cuckooland! All the killers celebrate victory Unbelievers check out your history And all the helpers dying to help you out Everybody's drinking us to a drought, no doubt You know, you know We're all living in cuckooland! Words are twisted so you can't understand The aural menace spreading across this land Even love is hated for being good That'll end when people do what they should do You know, you know We're all living in cuckooland! 04. Falling Music & lyrics by Burke Shelley, Simon Lees
I tried to crawl away from it all
All that I did just speeded my fall Falling, falling I know the take, write it in haste Now that the world is up to my face Falling, falling All through the day, all through the night I keep on hoping that I'll win the fight Falling, falling Giving it up, I can't give it away Giving t up, I can't keep it at bay Giving it up, I can't give it away Giving it up, I can't keep it at bay 05. Love Is Enough Music & lyrics by Burke Shelley
Love, love, love is enough
All through the storm it will keep you Love, love, love is enough Fill up your heart and be free Love, love, love is the stuff Better than gold, making you whole Drink, drink, drink from the cup Fill up our soul and be real Close your eyes and think about it All the light will go without it Put away your fear about letting go So you'll find life in the word Love, love, love is enough No more in need, no more to bleed Love, love, love is enough Make it your life and be free Lift up your heart and be free 06. Tell Me Tell Me Music & lyrics by Burke Shelley, Simon Lees
It's a kind of life that was meant to be
All you ask, if you ask, well you asked of me Can it be that you met someone who smiles When you say that you wanted to delete my files Tell me, tell me, tell me Tell me, tell me, What's wrong with you? Tell me, tell me, tell me Tell me, tell me, What can I do? Well, I know if you're feeling hot or you're feeling cool If you ask me to try, will I be your fool Give it up if you care, it can change your mind If you feel that your goal has to be refined Tell me, tell me, tell me Tell me, tell me, What's wrong with you? Tell me, tell me, tell me Tell me, tell me, What can I do? State of the art, state of your mind State what you need, State your kind If I try, if I try to receive the wave At this time of life nothing can be saved Tell me, tell me, tell me Tell me, tell me, What's wrong with you? Tell me, tell me, tell me Tell me, tell me, What can I do? 07. (Don't Want To) Find That Girl Music & lyrics by Burke Shelley, Simon Lees
She likes to party with the high class
Yeah, to make a big noise It's said she's always perfumed Yeah, to please the naughty boys Do you wanna be her, yeah, to get, get, get your way Do you, do you, oh yeah to fill a dizzy day One for the Gucci shoes in a row Stepped on a pile of knives, kept for show D'ya wanna find that girl? (Don't wanna find that girl) D'ya wanna find that girl? (Don't wanna find that girl) D'ya wanna find that girl? (Don't wanna find that girl) You've got your book with all your numbers Yeah, to make a rendezvous Your little Peep toe matches living in a human zoo Do you wanna be her? Yeah, she's selling her soul Hah, do you, do you? Yeah, goodtime for 'mark it down' One in the money, two to the show Go get the bling now walk out go D'ya wanna find that girl? (Don't wanna find that girl) D'ya wanna find that girl? (Don't wanna find that girl) D'ya wanna find that girl? (Don't wanna find that girl) Cats eyes, cats eyes, cats eyes every time I look at you That's why, that's why, that's why. I'll never be attracted to you Make up, make up, make up, what kind of thing do you mean? Wake up, wake up, wake up, you just wanna be seen on the scene. Well yeah, you ordered your aromas you got secret stones You call the paparazzi (yes) to get your picture shown Do you really want her? Do you wanna be that girl? Do you, do you, yeah, you'll only get yourself burned It's one for the Gucci shoes in a row, Make for the Cadillac, Quid pro quo. 08. Captain Music & lyrics by Burke Shelley
Captain, captain, won't you take me round the world with you
Captain, captain, on the love boat I will be the crew Oh and I'll be with you I can scent the filthy seas, sulphur in the morning breeze How are we to find our way? Without your guiding hand I'll stray Round the mountains made of tyres, bridges stacked like Eiffel towers Somehow you will navigate, through the maze and out the gate. Away Health and safety pirates hide, like rag worm just above the tide for unsuspecting men like me, to nip and trip me as I flee. Voices call from swollen lungs, to other threats in other tongues Aliens from other worlds will meet us to exchange a word or two Captain, captain, won't you take me round the world with you Captain, captain, on the love boat I will be the crew Oh and I'll be with you Somewhere is a far off land, with crystal water, golden sand And all the trees are full of fruit, light years from the grimy soot 'till you say the final word, at the end of all known worlds you take my hand and comfort me, now we cross the endless sea Forever, ever Life is like an endless sea, I'll make it if I know you're with me We can take the highest wave with you I am safe Captain, captain, won't you take me round the world with you Captain, captain, on the love boat I will be the crew Oh and I'll be with you 09. I Don't Want to Throw You Music & lyrics by Burke Shelley, Simon Lees
I don't know why I make your sparks fly
And bring you down and I steal away all your tears (yes I do) Are we messed up like oil and water Or I'm an octane and maybe you're the fire Don't want to throw you but this thing is going nowhere Don't want to throw you but this thing is up in the air It's like eating a razor sandwich when Under your tree while in a lightning storm (yes it is) If my music is dead to your ears And your friends hate it but I can't change my form, oh no Don't want to throw you but this thing is going nowhere Don't want to throw you but this thing is up in the air You're so pushy and I won't take that And did you notice I'm moving on my way. Yes. 10. I'm Compressing The Comb On A Cockerel's Head Music & lyrics by Burke Shelley, Simon Lees
Oh I been on my knees I can't say my prayer
I've been up a mountain, falling down the stairs I can't fix my bones, got to put it right What you gonna do boy, if you've got to fight Yes it's our chance, wanna bit more dance Get down on my knees now or I'll go to seize I can't move my toes I can tie the knot. Yes I'm gonna lose, oh my legs are shot. I'm compressing the comb on a cockerel's head I'm compressing the comb on a cockerel's head Yeah, think I've got the cure, think I found it out Baby it's a joke, won't you scream and shout. I'm compressing the comb on a cockerel's head Got to mend my bones, got to run a race Got to play my songs, got to lift the bass Got to shake my head, got to move my feet Got to wake the dead, girding up the beat yes I'm compressing the comb on a cockerel's head I'm compressing the comb on a cockerel's head Seizing up my hip, think I'm gonna die Got to bite my lip cos I'm running out of time Heard about the same state, got to make it pose That is not the way that I can hear you grow I'm compressing the comb on a cockerel's head I'm compressing the comb on a cockerel's head My heart ain't broken my bones are broken My heart ain't broken my bones are broken My heart ain't broke my bones are broke My heart ain't broken my bones are broken |
