New Friend lyrics - aqualung

I got a new friend
He's waving 'Hello'
See he comes like a snail, like a comet tail then he goes

Say 'Hello' to my new friend
From my head to my toes
Oh my, he's filling me up with all these things he knows

Can you hear him singing along?
Do you hear him singing along?
Can you hear
Can you hear what he's saying?

In love with my new friend
Ah, he's good to the eye
So fine
Just a little glint and you will be blind

Say goodbye to your old friends
They're just a week or so old
They wave ....

Can you hear him singing along?
Do you hear him singing along?
Can you hear
Can you hear what he's saying?
Can you hear him singing along?
Are you picking out the words of his song?
Can you hear
Can you hear what he's saying?

He wants to sing it
to sing it
to sing it again!
He wants to sing it and
sing it
to sing it again!
He wants to sing it and
sing it and
sing it forever more!

He wants to sing it
to sing it
to sing it again!
He wants to sing it and
sing it
to sing it again!
He wants to sing it and
sing it and
sing it forever more!

Can you hear him singing along?
Can you hear him singing along?
Can you hear
Can you hear what he's sing?

Can you hear him singing along?
Are you thinking of the words of his song?
Can you hear
Can you hear what he's saying?
Can you hear
Can you hear what he's saying?

I love to sing

I got a new friend
He's waving 'Hello'
See he comes like a snail, like a comet tail then he goes

Reel Me In lyrics - aqualung

Don't listen to the TV
Don't listen to the radio
Don't let anybody tell you
That this old ship is going down

Black bottom of the ocean
Picked up by an invisible hand
Have a feeling down my insides
And now, the sea, the stars, the sky
The sea, the sea, the sea

Washed over to the waterfall
I got swallowed by the undertow
I twist, I turn, but I know there's only one way out of this
So honey if you're listening
Press your lip to the overflow
Cause I'm just down here praying someone hears my SOS
I'm drowning, reel me in

Fly back into the lifeboat
Where did the women and the children go
Are these men my only friends
And we love, we love, we cry, we cry

Out of the boats into the crowds and oohooo,
Out of the crowds into the sleepy room
Pull the covers up to my chin
And we fall, our eyes, we rise, I fall
We leave it all behind

Washed over to the waterfall
I got swallowed by the undertow
I twist, I turn, but I know there's only one way out of this
So if there's anybody listening
Press your lip to the radio
Cause I'm just down here praying someone hears my SOS
I'm drowning, reel me in, reel me in

Walk back along the gangway
Back to the arms of the ones I love
Guess you guys keep your secrets
Hello, hello, hello

Washed over to the waterfall
I got swallowed by the undertow
I twist, I turn, but I know there's only one way out of this
So if there's anybody listening
Press your lip to the radio
Cause I'm just down here praying someone hears my SOS

Washed over to the waterfall, oooohoooo
I twist, I turn, but I know there's only one way out of this
So if there's anybody listening
Press your lip to the radio
Cause I'm just down here praying someone hears my SOS
I'm drowning, reel me in, reel me in

Don't listen to the TV
Don't listen to the radio

Sundowning lyrics - aqualung

I found the missing
Puzzle piece but
I don't know, I don't know where to begin.
Do I have what
What you need to
Put it all back together again?

The breath is in my mouth
To blow this fire out.
These shadows slowly climbing up the walls.
Maybe we are
Sundowning.
Maybe we're just
Sundowning.

We torched another
Golden morning.
You only get, only get back what you can give.
Oh, perhaps we need a
Little time
Little time to remember how to live, oh.

With the rising of the moon
The dying of the afternoon
The evening takes us with it as it falls.

The breath is in my mouth
To blow this fire out.
These shadows slowly climbing up the walls.
Maybe we are
Sundowning.
Maybe we're just
Sundowning.
Maybe we are
Sundowning.
Not waving and not drowning.
Just sundowning.

As daylight drifts away
And everything starts to fade
And all our colors turn to black and white.

The heart don't make a sound.
Feet don't you touch the ground.
Could this be just a tricking of the light?

The breath is in my mouth
To blow this fire out.
But maybe I could wait another night.

Cause maybe we're just
Sundowning.
Baby we are
Sundowning.
Darling we are
Sundowning.
Not waving and not drowning.
Just sundowning.

Just sundowning.

36 Hours lyrics - aqualung

Maybe let the doll house burn
Maybe I can hit and run
Maybe love was flicking through a magazine
Goes away two moons agree?
Starting over is for free
Maybe now I learn to taste the air I breathe

Feel the earth begin to move
Underneath my buckle shoe
Maybe this is just exactly who I am
Taxi's crawling up the hill
Take me where the world stands still
Away from where the air is frozen in your hands

Oh, 36 hours away
36 hours away
In the moonlight
36 hours away
36 hours away
and it's over

In the middle going south
Dirty hands and empty mouth
I am indicating left and pulling out
Turn the map the other way
Through the hope and misery
And tilt the wheel towards the white lights up ahead

Oh 36 hours away
36 hours away
in the moonlight
36 hours away
36 hours away
and it's over

Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Lalalala
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Lalalala

Oh 36 hours away
36 hours away
36 hours away
Oh 36 hours away
36 hours away
and it's over
and it's over

Fingertip lyrics - aqualung

Doo doo, doo doo, doo doo do doo [4x]

I wanna knock knock down your door
Wanna steal your bicycle
Wanna rock your rocking horse
Wonder what's the time now, Mr. Wolf

Dancing in the street
With my suit and my big white teeth
And my shirt and my big white shoes
And almost nothing left to lose

In a minute, I mean it, you lose your grip
'Cause you're hanging, by a fingertip
I'm gonna huff you and puff you and shake your tree
Gonna make you, fall in love with me

Oh oh oh
Ooh ooh ooh

This is the beat beat beat of my heart
It overheats every time we're apart
With the sweat dripping off my chin
Honey you don't know the shape I'm in

Oh, struck down in the street
Staring up ,up at the swings of your feet
Nobody knows the way that it is
Come on baby, baby please

A minute, you lose your grip
'Cause you're hanging, by a fingertip
And I've been waiting, impatient, down underneath,
Just to catch you, when you fall for me

I want to eat with you, sleep with you,
kiss you and listen to you
Get you what you want, give you what you need
I want to sing to and cling to
and wait and see
Gonna make you fall in love with me

'Cause they don't know
They don't know
In a minute, a minute, you'll fall for me
In a minute, any minute, wait and see
In a minute, I mean it, you'll fall for me
In a minute, any minute, oh wait and see

Doo doo, doo doo, doo doo do doo [2x]

'Cause I've been waiting, impatient, down underneath,

just to catch you when you fall for me
And in a minute, I mean it, you lose your grip
'Cause you're only hanging on by a fingertip
I'm gonna huff you and puff you and shake your tree
Gonna make you, fall in love with me
Gonna make you, fall in love with me
Gonna make you make you fall in love with me

Lost lyrics - aqualung

Daylight comes in the nick of time
Shines some light into the darkest corners of her mind
All the world is, all the world is weighing down on you

Piece by piece, it all falls away
All this beauty, all this magic 'til there's nothing there
If only love was enough, I could reach you, I would reach you

I know I'm not tired of you, but maybe you got tired of me
It seems like every little thing I do makes you pull yourself away
So I'm waiting for the sun, but you only see the grey
Oh no - won't you please come on home

Oh, I've been missing you, you got lost along the way
Oh maybe you aren't lost; it's still in you some way
If only love was enough, I could reach you, I would reach you

I know I'm not tired of you, but maybe you got tired of me
It seems like every little thing I do makes you pull yourself away
So I'm waiting for the sun, but you only see the grey
Oh no - won't you please come on home

Seems like every little thing I do makes you pull yourself away
So I'm waiting for the sun, but you only see the grey
Oh no - won't you please come on home

If only love was enough, I would reach you, I could reach you

Time Moves Slow lyrics - aqualung

Leaving on time
Gone to look for a place to stand
And watch the world pass by

Living on a smile
There's nothing you need to explain
Where no one knows your name
And that suits me fine

Once I was young, I was stupid
And sure of myself
The truth is the word that
Gets harder and harder to spell

Maybe tomorrow I'll wake up
And all will be well
But time moves slow

Tonight

Sleeping lay my body down
Dream a dream where everything
You lost can still be found

Escaping laying my body down
All the weight of my skin it goes
At the great unknown
It's all uneven now

Once I was hot, I was hungry
I knew I was right
It's easy to do if you're wearing
Your wounds thrown inside out

??
Stretching out back
But time moves slow

Tonight

I'm leaving for a world
Gone to look for a place to stand
And watch the pass go by

Remember, remember, you told me
You'd be always be mine
We run, we run, we run, we run
We run, we run, we run, we run

Tomorrow wake up ??
Make up my mind
But time moves slow

Tonight

California lyrics - aqualung

Come with me to California
We'll lose our troubles in the sun
Let's fly away

Let's make our grand escape before we come undone
You know I've always been a dreamer
How you laugh at all my silly silly dreams
Let's fly away
Let's make our big mistake before we come undone
Before we come undone, yeah
Oh, come with me to California
Before we come undone

Come with me to California
We'll lose our troubles in the sun
Let's fly away

Remember Us lyrics - aqualung

Baby don't talk,
Don't say anything.
No need,
To say anything.

Cos lately when we talk,
We just spin it around,
So tonight, why don't we just set it down?
Let our shadows show us what to do.
What to be.
And in the hush,
Remember us.
Skin across my skin.
Do you feel it now?
Darlingm do you know me now?
In this remembering.

Remembering how we used to be.
Oh my - how we're supposed to be.
And when, as one, we come undone.
Then we find, as our souls unwind,
they intertwine.
And we find, that in the hush,
We remember us.

Thin Air lyrics - aqualung

You know that I'm in love with you
You know I always will be
I'm haunted by the same dream
Haunted by the melody

Feels like a raincloud passing over
Looking for a place to stay
Eyes making rainbows as the rain goes down

You know what I think we should do
Take a train down to the sea
Desperate times, desperate measures
Wind rushing over me

Feels like the evening coming closer
Drumming like the shore around you
It's a beautiful sunset
Still the sun goes down, down

Tell me that you'll love me forever
Going on another world
With our hands are only tied together
Out into the new world

And you're standing on the edge of something
Tell me I was right to care
Well you know that I'm in love with you
Stepping out into the thin air

I believe in you [x6]

Oh, lay me down and love with you
Cause you know I always be
Oh

Feels like the evening's coming closer
Drumming like the shore around you
It's a beautiful sunset
Still the sun goes down, down

Tell me that you'll love me forever
Going on another world
With our hands only tied together
Out into the new world

And you're standing on the edge of nothing
Tell me I was right to care
Well you know that I'm in love with you
Yeah you know that I'm in love with you [x2]
Stepping out into the thin air

I believe I can [x6]
I believe I can [x6]

Magnetic North lyrics - aqualung

You're my, you're my underscore.
My kite in a thunderstorm.
When you're cold, I will keep you warm.

You're my, you're my auto-chord
Anagram of a dirty word.
The best joke I ever heard
The best joke I ever will.

You're my compass my magnetic north,
You keep this old ship on course.
Without you we would all be lost
So I'm begging you, to stay true.

When I write, you're the perfect verse.
I'll send it out through the universe.
Steal a star, just for the two of us.

See all, all the things we've made.
Ticket tape and the motorcade.
Dip a toe into our middle age
Dip a toe and in we'll go

You're my compass my magnetic north,
You keep this old ship on course.
Without you we would all be lost
So I'm begging you...

My compass my magnetic north,
You keep this old ship on course.
Without you we would all be lost
So I'm begging you...

to stay true.

7 Keys lyrics - aqualung

It wasn't open but somehow you let yourself in
Closed off and broken, I never wanted to go there again
I wasn't waiting but you came at just the right time
Maybe I'm wasted, I never knew I could feel so alive

Darling believe you're closer than anyone has ever been
So baby don't leave me alone, I'm yours for eternity
You hold the 7 keys to my soul

I feel so connected like I've known you all along
I never expected to fall into loving so deep
So deep and so strong

Darling believe you're closer than anyone has ever been
So baby don't leave me alone, I'm yours for eternity
You hold the 7 keys to my soul

Closer than anyone, this is where we belong [x4]

Darling believe you're closer than anyone has ever been
So baby don't go, I'm yours for eternity
You, you, you, you
7 keys to my soul
7 keys to my soul
You hold the 7 keys to my soul

Slip-Sliding Away lyrics - aqualung

Slip-sliding away, slip-sliding away
You know the nearer the destination the more you're slip-sliding away

And I know a man, he came from my home town
He wore this bad shirt for his woman like a thorny crown
He said, "Dolores, I live in fear"
"My love for you is so overpowering I'm afraid that I will disappear"

He's slip-sliding away, slip-sliding away
You know the nearer the destination the more you're slip-sliding away

And I know a woman, became a wife
These are the very words she uses to describe her life
She says, "A good day ain't got not rain"
She said, "A bad day is when I lie in bed and think of things that might've been"

She's slip-sliding away, slip-sliding away
You know the nearer the destination the more you're slip-sliding away
You're slip-sliding away, slip-sliding away
You know the nearer the destination the more you're slip-sliding away

Mmhmmm
And I know a father who had a son
He longed to tell him all the reasons for the things he'd done
He came a long way just to explain
He kissed his boy as he lay sleeping and he turned around and headed home again

He's slip-sliding, slip-sliding away
You know the nearer the destination the more you're slip-sliding away
Slip-sliding away, slip-sliding away
You know the nearer the destination the more you're slip-sliding away
