Track Lyrics
Oh No Not Susan Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Susan spent the weekend at her stately home
Crying at the lions on the garden wall
And then she'd sigh - sneak away
Look at her style - free the day
[Chorus]
Oh no not me - I wouldn't
Oh no not me - I couldn't
That's all she says, her money and her place
They just don't mean a fucking thing
[Verse 2]
Susan met the lords and dukes of everywhere
Smiling, kissing, wishing that they'd go to hell
And then she'd laugh - wonder why
Take a nap - sit and cry
[Chorus]
Oh no not me - I wouldn't
Oh no not me - I couldn't
That's all she says, her money and her place
They just don't mean a fucking thing
Dreaming of 4000 Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Saviour of the night came
Slowly on the silent river
And the lord of life came following
His sins to be forgiven
While the world sat back
And laughed away the hours
Till the dawning of the daybreak
[Verse 2]
I heard them laugh, I heard them cry
I saw them praying to the sky
I heard the wind howl in the trees
Down there on bended knee
And I see the light
But I know I must be dreaming
[Pre-Chorus]
Feel the soul, quiet emotion
Sail on by, helpless devotion
If that's how it feels
It better be real
[Chorus]
Take care of your woman
Or you'll never ever see the light
Take heed of the warnin'
Or you know it's gonna be too late
Too late
It's too late, it's too late
It's too late, it's too late (Oh)
[Verse 3]
Here, there, everywhere
They keep on movin' without fear
They look me up, they look me down
They press my body to the ground
But I see the light
See the light, it's comin' shinin' (Oh)
[Verse 4]
And on a summer's day
When thoughts are drifting far away
And life is good and real to see
My world is saved and I am free
But in the night
Still I know I must be dreamin' (Yeah)
[Pre-Chorus]
Feel the soul, quiet emotion
Sail on by, helpless devotion
If that's how it feels
It better be real
[Chorus]
Take care of your woman
Or you'll never ever see the light
Take heed of the warnin'
Or you know it's gonna be too late
Too late, ah, oh
It's too late, it's too late
It's too late, it's too late
It's too late, it's too late, it's too late
