Iāve Changed My Address Lyrics
4 ContributorsIāve Changed My Address LyricsKnew the time to leave had come when you pointed out your ring
Never could see what was in this matrimony thing
Baby, baby, baby you sure made a noise when I left
And your father started shouting least you ironed my shirts
'fore I left
Would've liked to explain first but it was a split decision thing
Couldn't see me settling down with a mortgage and a kid
Now I hear you've been looking for me
Combing every single inch
You'll probably find me in Hyde Park
Try the hotel first then a bench
Baby, baby, baby I've changed my address
I didn't mean to make you cry but I know it's for the best
Baby, baby, baby I've changed my address
It's OK being in love, girl, but then fun is second best
No one's gonna tie me down
Nobody tell me what to do
Don't you see I've got to be free
Sorry baby that's the way it is - get with me
I said maybe!
I didn't mean to break your heart and I know it's not your choice
Better think of it this way, there's other fools to entice
That's right!
Baby, baby, baby I've changed my address
I didn't mean to make you cry but I know it's for the best
Baby, baby, baby I've changed my address
It's OK being in love girl, but then fun is second best
Baby, baby, baby I've changed my address
I didn't mean to make you cry but I'm sure it's for the best
Baby, baby, baby I've changed my address
It's OK being in love girl, but then fun is second best
I Got By in Time Lyrics
5 ContributorsI Got By in Time LyricsSaw a girl that I used to know
I was deep in thought at the time
Didn't recognise her face at first
'Cause I was probably looking at mine
Well she was the only girl I've ever loved
But my folks didn't dig her so much
I was young
It was serious
To me she was the world (she was my world now)
I thought I'd never live without her
But I got by in time
Well let me tell you now
Saw a guy that I used to know
Man he'd changed so much
I think it hurt him to say 'hello'
'Cause he hardly opened his mouth
Yeah well he was my best friend a few years ago
We were truly inseperable
We were young
We were full of ideals
We were gonna rule this whole world
But something happened
I didn't know why
But that's the way that it goes
I suppose
What you say - what you do
Don't mean nothing, nothing at all
When all the bonds you make between ya
Can be broken any time you want now
Please tell me if my philosophy's wrong
I've got to know the truth
I don't mean to offend anyone but
You know it's something that I do, oh-
So nice to see you tonight
And I'm so glad that you came
Some of the people understand this song
Now I say d'you ever feel the same
Yeah my point is in a round about way
Given time you don't always forget
'Cos the memories
That are shouting me on
To me they're everything (they're everything now)
I know they always will be mine, yeah
And no one can take them away

Time for Truth Lyrics
11 ContributorsTime for Truth LyricsWhatcha trying to say that haven't tried to say before
You're just another revolu with a lot of hot gass
Why don't you fuck off?
And you think you've got it worked out
And you think you've got it made
And you trying to play the hero
But you never walk home in the dark
I think it's time for truth
And the truth is you've lost uncle Jimmy
Admit your failure and decline with honor while you can
And you think you've got it sussed out
And you think that we're brain washed
And you're trying for a police state
So you can rule our bodies and minds
What ever happened to the great empire?
You bastards have turned it into manure
Time for the young to stick together now
I bet you sleep at night in silk sheets and a clean mind
While killers roam the streets in numbers dressed in blue
And you're trying to hide it from us
But you know what I mean
Bring forward those six pigs
We wanna see them swing so high
Liddle Towers!
And you think you've got it worked out
And you think you've got it made
And you trying to play the hero
But you never walk home in the dark
What ever happened to the great empire?
You bastards have turned it into manure
Time for the young to stick together now
Takinā My Love Lyrics
7 ContributorsTakinā My Love LyricsWell come on pretty baby you know what I like now
You're shakin' all over and it's feeling alright now
You're rockin' and rollin' and I don't know what to say
But daddy's little cat's gonna rock all day
Well come on pretty woman you know what I mean now
You're just stoppin' what's gotta be, babe
We'll go and fuck around 2am
The beat's just screamin' right through your head
Shakin' my heart, shakin' my soul
I just go crazy wanna rock-n-roll, babe
There you go takin' my love from me
Say, there you go takin' my love from me
Drive you home my country rose now
Hold you tight never let you go now
Kissing and huggin' outside your door
'Til your pa sees and wants no more
Shakin' my heart, shakin' my soul
I just go crazy wanna rock-n-roll, babe
There you go takin' my love from me
Say, there you go takin' my love from me
(Watch out now, hey, hey, hey!)
Bricks and Mortar Lyrics
6 ContributorsBricks and Mortar LyricsBricks and mortar, reflecting social change
Cracks in the pavement, reveal cravings for success
Why do we try to hide our past
By pulling down houses and build car parks
Windows and mirrors like a two-way glass
This is progress, nothing stands in its path
Yellow bulldozers, the donkey jackets and J.C.B.'s
While hundreds are homeless they're constructing a parking space
Why do they have to knock them down
And leave the site dormant for months on end?
Who has the right to make that choice?
A man whose house has cost forty grand
Tell me!
Bricks and mortar, bricks and mortar
Bricks and mortar, bricks and mortar
Knock 'em down!
