Me and the Major Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Me and the Major could become close friends 'cause we
Get on the same train and he wants to talk to me
Me and the Major could become close friends 'cause we
Get on the same train and he wants to talk
But there is too much history, too much biography between us
[Verse 2]
Me and the Major don't see eye to eye on a
Number of things, he'll take a guy like me, oh yeah
Me and the Major don't see eye to eye on a
Number of things, he'll take a guy like me
And put him in the army 'cause the Queen's own army makes a man of you
[Chorus 1]
He doesn't understand and he doesn't try
He knows there's something missing and he knows it's you and I
We're the younger generation, we grew up fast
All the others did drugs, they're taking it out on us
They're taking it out on us
They're taking it out on us
[Verse 3]
Me and the Major are from different worlds, but if
I get stuck in the lift, it's always with a toff
Me and the Major are from different worlds, but if
I get stuck in the lift, it's always with a man
Of noble standing who looks down on me like I was never born
[Verse 4]
I think the Major's going quite insane, he goes
Along the pavement and comes back again, oh yeah
I think the Major's going quite insane, he goes
Along the pavement and comes back again
Like he is on parade, he is on parade, at least he thinks so
[Chorus 2]
He is swapping his tent for a sheltered home
He doesn't have a family and he is living alone
He remembers all the punks and the hippies too
And he remembers Roxy Music in '72
[Chorus 1]
He doesn't understand and he doesn't try
He knows there's something missing and he knows it's you and I
We're the younger generation, we grew up fast
All the others did drugs, they're taking it out on us
They're taking it out on us
They're taking it out on us
[Verse 5]
I want a dance, I want a drink of whisky so I
Forget the Major and go up the town, oh boy
I want a dance, I want a drink of whisky so I
Forget the Major and go up the town
Because the snow is falling
Yeah, the snow is falling
[Outro]
The snow is falling, falling, falling
Falling, falling, falling, falling
Falling, falling, falling, falling
Falling, falling, falling
Like Dylan in the Movies Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Lisa's kissing men like a long walk home
When the music stops
Take a tip from me, don't go through the park
When you're on your own, it's a long walk home
[Chorus]
Well, if they follow you, don't look back
Like Dylan in the movies
On your own, if they follow you
It's not your money that they're after, boy it's you
[Verse 2]
Pure easy listening, settle down
On the pillow soft when they've all gone home
You can concentrate on the ones you love
You can concentrate, hey now they've gone
[Chorus]
And if they follow you, don't look back
Like Dylan in the movies
On your own, if they follow you
It's not your money that they're after, boy it's you
[Bridge]
Yeah, you're worth the trouble and you're worth the pain
You're worth the worry, I would do the same
If we all went back to another time, I will love you over
I will love you over, I will love you
[Chorus 2]
If they follow you, don't look back
Like Dylan in the movies
On your own, if they follow you
Tenderly you turn the light out in your room
[Outro]
If they follow you, don't look back
Dylan in the movies
On your own, if they follow you
The Fox in the Snow Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Fox in the snow, where do you go
To find something you could eat?
Because the word out on the street is you are starving
Don't let yourself grow hungry now, don't let yourself grow cold
Fox in the snow
[Verse 2]
Girl in the snow, where do you go
To find someone who will do?
To tell someone all the truth before it kills you
And listen to your crazy laugh before you hang a right
And disappear from sight
[Chorus 1]
What do they know anyway?
You'll read it in a book
What do they know anyway?
You'll read it in a book tonight
[Verse 3]
Boy on the bike, what are you like
As you cycle round the town?
You're going up, you're going down, you're going nowhere
It's not as if they're paying you, it's not as if it's fun
At least not anymore
[Chorus 2]
When your legs are black and blue
It's time to take a break
When your legs are black and blue
Time to take a holiday
[Verse 4]
Kid in the snow, way to go
It only happens once a year
It only happens once a lifetime, make the most of it
Second just to being born, second to dying too
What else would you do?
[Outro]
What else would you do?
What else would you do?
What else would you do?
Fox in the snow (When your legs are black and blue)
Fox in the snow (It's not as if they're paying you)
Fox in the snow (When your legs are black and blue)
Fox in the snow (It's not as if they're paying you)
Fox in the snow
Fox in the snow
Mayfly Lyrics
[intro]
One, two, three, four
[Verse 1]
Lovesick on a sunny afternoon
You are tired of staying in
You are waiting for a sign
Mayfly, woken up when skies are clear
I don't mind you coming near
Keep me company till she comes again
[Chorus 1]
You are the one who's making do
I am the one who's privy to
'Cause you saw him in the park
'Cause you saw him at the bridges
With the people in the dark
[Verse 2]
Cana was the start of something big
You were there in the beginning
You were there to see him play
Mayfly, woken up when skies are blue
I don't mind the sight of you
Keep me company till she comes again
[Chorus 2]
You are the one who's making do
I am the one who's privy to
Cause you saw him at the celebration standing at the side
You had the moves to save the day
And you would love him anyway
[Verse 3]
Lovesick, it came back upon yourself
You are the one left on the shelf
You are incapable of playing the fool
Longing, so what's different today?
You sent the boy and girl away
You are concerned with matters lofty
[Chorus 3]
But puzzled so it makes you sick
Your diary's looking like the bible
With it's verses lost in time
Lost in meaning for the people
Who surround you, it's a crying shame
You know it's a crying shame
You know it's a crying shame
[Outro]
Mayfly, woken up when skies are blue
I don't mind the sight of you
Keep me company till she comes again
Mayfly, woken up when skies are clear
I don't mind you, come in here
Keep me company till she comes again
La la la la
She comes again
La la la la
She comes again
La la la la la
The Boy Done Wrong Again Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The boy done wrong again
Hang your head in shame and cry your life away
The boy done wrong again
Hang your head in shame and cry your life away
Are you okay now?
[Verse 2]
On Saturday I was an angel shining fair
You shone louder, longer
You put my shine to shame
Put me to shame now
[Verse 3]
What is it I must do to pay for all my crimes?
What is it I must do?
I would do it all the time
Do it all the time, now
[Chorus]
All that I wanted was to sing the saddest song
And if you would sing along I will be happy now
[Verse 4]
The woodland spring has put the darkness from your thinking
If this town's your sinking ship
Then you know where to jump
Talking dirty for a hobby, that's all right
Pour another glass of wine
I'll think of England this time
[Chorus]
All I wanted was to sing the saddest song
And if you would sing along
Oh, if you would sing along
If you'd only sing along
I would be happier
