Goodbye Yellow Brick Road lyrics - Aqualung

(originally by Elton John)

When are you gonna come down?
When are you going to land?
I should have stayed on the farm
I should have listened to my old man
You know you can't hold me forever
I didn't sign up with you
I'm not a present for your friends to open
This boy's too young to be singing the blues
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah

So goodbye yellow brick road
Where the dogs of society howl
You can't plant me in your penthouse
I'm going back to my plough
Back to the howling old owl in the woods
Hunting the horny-back toad
Oh, I've finally decided my future lies
Beyond the yellow brick road
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah

What do you think you'll do, then?
I bet they'll shoot down the plane
It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics
To set you on your feet again
Maybe you'll get a replacement
There's plenty like me to be found
Mongrels who ain't got a penny
Sniffing for tidbits like you on the ground
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah

So goodbye yellow brick road
Where the dogs of society howl
You can't plant me in your penthouse
I'm going back to my plough
Back to the howling old owl in the woods
Hunting the horny-back toad
Oh, I've finally decided my future lies
Beyond the yellow brick road
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah

If You Love Somebody Set Them Free lyrics - Aqualung

(originally by Sting)

If you need somebody
Call my name
If you want someone
You can do the same

If you want to keep something precious
You got to lock it up and throw away the key
If you want to hold onto your possession
Don't even think about me
Don't even think about me

If you love somebody
If you love someone
If you love somebody
If you love someone, set them free
Set them free

If it's a mirror you want
Just look into my eyes
Or a whipping boy
Someone to despise
Or a prisoner in the dark
Tied up in chains you just can't see
Or a beast in a gilded cage
That's all some people ever want to be
That's all some people ever want to be

If you love somebody
If you love someone
If you love somebody
If you love someone, set them free
Set them free

You can't control an independent heart
Can't tear the one you love apart
Forever conditioned to believe that we can't live
We can't live here and be happy with less
So many riches
So many souls
With everything we see that we want to possess

If you need somebody
Call my name
If you want someone
If you want someone
You can do
You can do the same

If you love somebody
If you love someone
If you love somebody
If you love someone
If you love somebody
If you love someone, set them free
Set them free
Set them free
Set them free
Set them free

My Girl lyrics - My Girl

(originally by Madness)

My girl's mad at me
I didn't wanna see the film tonight
I found it hard to say
She thought I'd had enough of her
Why can't she see
She's lovely to me?
But I like to stay in
And watch TV on my own
Every now and then

My girl's mad at me
Been on the telephone for an hour
We hardly said a word
I tried and tried but I could not be heard
Why can't I explain?
Why do I feel this pain?
'Cause everything I say
She doesn't understand
She doesn't realise
She takes it all the wrong way

My girl's mad at me
We argued just the other night
I thought we'd got it straight
We talked and talked until it was light
I thought we'd agreed
I thought we'd talked it out
Now when I try to speak
She says that I don't care
She says I'm unaware
And now she says I'm weak

My girl...

Swallow lyrics - Søren Lorensen, Aqualung & Davide Rossi

When did I get so big for my shoes?
Am I left right left behind
I feel like there's someone else singing my blues
Like I'm mute, newt, left behind

Swallow me down
Swallow me down
There is only one way
Follow me down
Follow me down
Cos there's only one way (in)

Can't sit down
There's a ghost in my chair
There's no nowhere for me here
Drop and I drift
It's the same everywhere
There's no nowhere left for me here

Swallow me down
Swallow me down
There is only one way
Follow me down
Follow me down
Cos there's only one way (in)

Tell Her This lyrics - Tell Her This

(originally by Del Amitri)

Tell her not to go
I ain't holding on no more
Tell her something in my mind
Freezes up from time to time

Tell her not to cry
I just got scared, that's all
Tell her I'll be by her side
All she has to do is call
All she has to do is call

Tell her what was wrong
I sometimes think too much
But say nothing at all
Tell her from this high terrain
I am ready now to fall
I am ready now to fall

Tell her not to go
I ain't holding on no more
Tell her nothing if not this
All I want to do is kiss her

Tell her something in my mind
Freezes up from time to time

Time Machine lyrics - Søren Lorensen, Aqualung & Davide Rossi

He says bury me with legs crossed
Head back
Laughing like the fool I was
Just like the fool I was
Singing [?]

You can bury me with eyes open chest open
Falling with my heart worn through with loving you
Singing [?]

He fell
Terminally ill from the age of 5
Around the age of 5
Knew he would not survive
Singing [?]

He lived
Permanently eyeing
His dying
But still that flash between the eyes
Caught him by surprise...
Just tell me...

Oh no
Did you figure it out
I say
All along did you figure it out
I say
How the hell do you figure it out at all?
Dark times
Did you measure it out
I said
How much are you carrying out
I say
How the hell did you figure it out?
You say "alone"

He says, don't regret the things that you did
He said, it is the things you didn't do that really weigh on you
Singing [?]

You can
Bury me with eyes open chest open
Bursting with my heart worn through from loving you...
Just tell me...

Oh no
Did you figure it out
I say
All along did you figure it out
I say
How the hell do you figure it out at all?
Dark times
Did you measure it out
I said
How much are you carrying out
I say
How the hell did you figure it out?
You say "alone"
