Journey to the Center of the Mind Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Leave your cares behind
Come with us and find
The pleasures of a journey to the center of the mind
[Chorus]
Come along if you care
Come along if you dare
Take a ride to the land inside of your mind
[Verse 2]
Beyond the seas of thought
Beyond the realm of what
Across the streams of hopes and dreams where things are really not
[Chorus]
Come along if you care
Come along if you dare
Take a ride to the land inside of your mind
[Verse 3]
But please realize
You'll probably be surprised
For it's the land unknown to man
Where fantasy is fact
So if you can, please understand
You might not come back
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Come along if you care
Come along if you dare
Take a ride to the land inside and you'll see
[Post-Chorus]
How happy life could be
If all of mankind
Would take the time to journey to the center of the mind
Would take the time to journey to the center of the mind
Center of the mind
[Guitar Solo]
Substitute Lyrics
[Intro]
You think we look pretty good together
You think my shoes are made of leather
[Chorus 1]
But I'm a substitute for another guy
I look pretty tall but my heels are high
The simple things you see are all complicated
I look pretty young but I'm just back dated, yeah
[Chorus 2]
Substitute your lies for facts
I see right through your plastic mac
I look all white but my dad was black
My brand new suit's really made out of sack
[Bridge]
I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth
The North side of my town faced East and the east was facing South
[Pre-Chorus]
And now you dare to look me in the eye
Those crocodile tears are what you cry
It's a genuine problem you won't try
To work it out at all, just pass it by, pass it by
[Chorus 3]
Substitute me for him
Substitute my Coke for gin
Substitute you for my Mum
At least I'll get my washing done
[Chorus 1]
I'm a substitute for another guy
I look pretty tall but my heels are high
The simple things you see are all complicated
I look pretty young but I'm just back dated, yeah
[Bridge]
I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth
The North side of my town faced East and the east was facing South
[Pre-Chorus]
And now you dare to look me in the eye
Those crocodile tears are what you cry
It's a genuine problem you won't try
To work it out at all, just pass it by, pass it by
[Chorus 3]
Substitute me for him
Substitute my Coke for gin
Substitute you for my Mum
At least I'll get my washing done
[Chorus 2]
Substitute your lies for facts
I see right through your plastic mac
I look all white but my dad was black
My brand new suit's really made out of sack
Out of Time Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You don't know what's going on
You've been away for far too long
You can't come back and think you are still mine
You're out of touch, my baby
My poor discarded baby
I said, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
[Chorus]
Well, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
I said, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
You are all left out
Out of there without a doubt
Because baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
[Verse 2]
You thought you were a clever girl
Giving up your social whirl
But you can't come back and be the first in line, on no
You're obsolete my baby
My poor old-fashioned baby
I said baby, baby, baby you're out of time
[Chorus]
Well, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
I said, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
You are all left out
Out of there without a doubt
Because baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
The Shape of Things to Come Lyrics
[Verse]
There's a new sun Rising up angry in the sky
And there's a new voice Saying we're not afraid to die
Let the old world make believe It's blind and deaf and dumb
But nothing can change the shape of things to come
There are changes Lying ahead in every road
And there are new thoughts Ready and waiting to explode
When tomorrow is today The bells may toll for some
But nothing can change the shape of things to come
The future's coming in, now Sweet and strong
Ain't no-one going to hold it back for long
There are new dreams Crowding out old realities
There's revolution Sweeping in like a fresh new breeze
Let the old world make believe It's blind and deaf and dumb
[Chorus]
But nothing can change the shape of things
But nothing can change the shape of things
But nothing can change the shape of things
But nothing can change the shape of things to come
Somebody to Love Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When the truth is found to be lies
And all the joys within you dies
[Chorus]
Don't you want somebody to love?
Don't you need somebody to love?
Wouldn't you love somebody to love?
You better find somebody to love
[Verse 2]
When the garden flowers baby are dead yes
And your mind is full of red
[Chorus]
Don't you want somebody to love?
Don't you need somebody to love?
Wouldn't you love somebody to love?
You better find somebody to love
[Verse 3]
Your eyes, I say your eyes may look like his
But in your head baby I'm afraid you don't know where it is
[Chorus]
Don't you want somebody to love?
Don't you need somebody to love?
Wouldn't you love somebody to love?
You better find somebody to love
[Verse 4]
Tears are running ah running down your breast
And your friends baby they treat you like a guest
[Chorus]
Don't you want somebody to love?
Don't you need somebody to love?
Wouldn't you love somebody to love?
You better find somebody to love
When I Was Young Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The rooms were so much colder then
My father was a soldier then
And times were very hard
When I was young
When I was young
I smoked my first cigarette at ten
And for girls I had a that yen
And I had quite a ball
When I was young
[Chorus]
When I was young it was more important
Pain more painful and laughter much louder, yeah
When I was young
When I was young
[Verse 2]
I met my first love at thirteen
She was brown, and I was pretty green
And I learned quite a lot
When I was young
When I was young
[Chorus]
When I was young it was more important
Pain more painful and laughter much louder, yeah
When I was young
When I was young
[Outro]
My faith was so much stronger then
I believed in fellow men
And I was so much older then
When I was young
When I was young
When I was young
When I was young
7 and 7 Is Lyrics
[Verse]
When I was a boy I thought about the times I'd be a man
I'd sit inside a bottle and pretend that I was in a can
In my lonely room I'd sit my mind in an ice cream cone
You can throw me if you want to because I'm a bone and I go
Oop-ip-ip oop-ip-ip, yeah!
If I don't start crying it's because that I have got no eyes
My father's in the fireplace and my dog lies hypnotized
Through a crack of light I was unable to find my way
Trapped inside a night but I'm a day and I go
Oop-ip-ip oop-ip-ip, yeah!
[Outro]
One... Two... Three... Four
My Back Pages Lyrics
[Verse]
Crimson flames tied through my ears
Rolling high and mighty traps
Pounced with fire on flaming roads
Using ideas as my maps
We'll meet on edges, soon,said I
Proud 'neath heated brow
Ah, but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now
Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth
Rip down all hate,I screamed
Lies that life is black and white
Spoke from my skull. I dreamed
Romantic facts of musketeers
Foundationed deep, somehow
Ah, but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now
In a soldier's stance, I aimed my hand
At the mongrel dogs who teach
Fearing not that I'd become my enemy
In the instant that I preach
My pathway led by confusion boats
Mutiny from stern to bow
Ah, but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now
Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats
Too noble to neglect
Deceived me into thinking
I had something to protect
Good and bad, I define these terms
Quite clear, no doubt, somehow
Ah, but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now
Can't Seem to Make You Mine Lyrics
[Verse]
I can't seem to make you mine
I can't seem to make you mine
You fly around like a bee
Hurting everything you see
I try everything I know
To make you want to love me so
The only things you do
Is try to put the hurt on me
Can't you see what you're doing to me
You fill my heart with misery
In every breath and step I take
I'm more in love with you
Can't go on like this
A little bit of love and not one kiss
I've got to have your love every day
Love that's real and will stay
I can't seem to make you mine
[Chorus]
I can't seem to make you mine
I can't seem to make you mine
I can't seem to make you mine
I can't seem to make you mine
[Outro]
Can't you see
I can't seem to make you mine
I can't seem to make you mine
Come back baby to me
And my misery
I give you love night and day
Never ever go away
I can't seem to make you mine
I can't seem to make you mine
I can't seem to make you mine
Have You Ever Seen the Rain Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Someone told me long ago, there's a calm before the storm
I know, and it's been coming for some time
When it's over, so they say, it'll rain a sunny day
I know, shining down like water
[Chorus]
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain?
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain
Coming down on a sunny day?
[Verse 2]
Yesterday, and days before, sun is cold and rain is hard
I know, been that way for all my time
Until forever on it goes through the circle fast and slow
I know, and it can't stop, I wonder
[Chorus]
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain?
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain
Coming down on a sunny day?
I Can't Control Myself Lyrics
[Verse]
I can't stand still because you've got me going
Your slacks are low and your hips are showing
I take you girl as you're standing there
Your low cut slacks and your long black hair
Don't want you goin' round with no one else
Beccause when I'm with you I can't control myself
Defense is down and you've got me shaking
You've got me so that my nerves are breaking
If you got me, I like you girl
Your knees would bend and your hair will curl
You make me move, yeah, like no one else
Because when I'm with you I can't control myself
I've got this feeling that's inside of me
It makes me think of how things used to be
It makes me fell allright
When I'm with you at night and we love
You hold me so with this quick temptation
This kind of feeling could move a nation
And I'm okay when I'm here with you
I do the things that you want me to
But do these things for no one else
Because when I'm with you I can't control myself
[Outro]
I can't control myself
I can't control myself
I can't control myself
I can't control myself
I can't control myself baby
Surf City Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I bought a pretty cool wagon and we call it a woody Surf City, here we come
You know, it ain't very cherry, it's an oldie but a goody Surf City, here we come
Well, it ain't got a backseat or a rear window
But it still gets me where I wanna go
[Chorus]
And we're going Surf City, because it's two to one
You know we're going Surf City, gonna have some fun

[Verse 3]
And if my woody breaks down

I'll strap my board to my back and hitch a ride in my wet-suit Surf City, here we come
And when I get to Surf City, I'll be shooting pearl
And checking out the parties for surfer girls
[Chorus]
And we're going Surf City, because it's two to one

Yeah we're goin' Surf City, because it's two to one
You know we're going Surf City, going to have someone, now
