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"

Eggshells lyrics - Aqualung (feat. Lianne La Havas)
Big black crows
They're back here again
They pick at the ground, the ground, the ground
In the dead back yard
Big black crows
With tiny black eyes
How we gonna make you stay away, stay away, stay away this time
Underneath the eggshells, eggshells
Underneath the eggshells, eggshells
Guess what I, guess what I found?
Guess what I found?
Solid ground
Solid ground
Solid ground
Big black clouds
Are back here again
Just hanging around, and around, and around
Til I can't see your face no more
Underneath the eggshells, eggshells
Underneath the eggshells, eggshells
Guess what I, guess what I found?
Underneath the eggshells
Underneath the eggshells, eggshells
Guess what I, guess what I found?
Solid ground
Solid ground
Solid ground
Underneath the eggshells, eggshells
Underneath the eggshells, eggshells
Guess, guess what I found?
They're back here again
They pick at the ground, the ground, the ground
In the dead back yard
Big black crows
With tiny black eyes
How we gonna make you stay away, stay away, stay away this time
Underneath the eggshells, eggshells
Underneath the eggshells, eggshells
Guess what I, guess what I found?
Guess what I found?
Solid ground
Solid ground
Solid ground
Big black clouds
Are back here again
Just hanging around, and around, and around
Til I can't see your face no more
Underneath the eggshells, eggshells
Underneath the eggshells, eggshells
Guess what I, guess what I found?
Underneath the eggshells
Underneath the eggshells, eggshells
Guess what I, guess what I found?
Solid ground
Solid ground
Solid ground
Underneath the eggshells, eggshells
Underneath the eggshells, eggshells
Guess, guess what I found?
Clean lyrics - Aqualung (feat. Sweet Billy Pilgrim)
Swim to the island
Surrounded by the tide
One half drowning
The other one alive
Oh, an awful long way to go
Oh, an awful long time ago
Hold for the island
The seer in the sky
Gently drowning
Your tiny yellow eyes
Oh, an awful long way to go
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, my soul
Be clean once more
My soul
Once more be clean
Even on the island
Night is gonna fall
Sunset's burning
Underneath it all
Oh, an awful long way to go
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, my soul
Be clean once more
My soul
Once more be clean
My soul
Be clean once more
My soul
Once more be clean
My soul
Once more be clean
Surrounded by the tide
One half drowning
The other one alive
Oh, an awful long way to go
Oh, an awful long time ago
Hold for the island
The seer in the sky
Gently drowning
Your tiny yellow eyes
Oh, an awful long way to go
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, my soul
Be clean once more
My soul
Once more be clean
Even on the island
Night is gonna fall
Sunset's burning
Underneath it all
Oh, an awful long way to go
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, my soul
Be clean once more
My soul
Once more be clean
My soul
Be clean once more
My soul
Once more be clean
My soul
Once more be clean
To The Wonder lyrics - Aqualung
There's a song we sing
Elemental sound
Where it all begins
It can draw you in, drag it out
But it's hard to hear
That distant voice
It would ring so clear
If we could only tune out the noise
To the wonder
There's a song we know
If you listen close
It will always be
As it always was
It always was, it always was
Elemental sound
Running underneath it all
To the wonder
To the wonder
To the wonder
Elemental sound
Where it all begins
It can draw you in, drag it out
But it's hard to hear
That distant voice
It would ring so clear
If we could only tune out the noise
To the wonder
There's a song we know
If you listen close
It will always be
As it always was
It always was, it always was
Elemental sound
Running underneath it all
To the wonder
To the wonder
To the wonder
Hummingbird lyrics - Aqualung
Such a tiny spark,
Little tiny spark,
But a spark it could catch and could grow and could burn this whole place,
To the ground.
Such a little voice,
Little tiny voice,
Still its easy to hear how it someday could fill a whole world,
With sound.
But you hardly breath,
Cause you move so fast,
Never looking back,
Never looking back.
Oh do you know where your going,
Do you know where your head is?
Where your sweet crooked smile is taking you,
Hummingbird.
Oh she won't be denied,
She wont be denied.
Oh she won't be denied,
She wont be denied.
There's a world out there,
And its unaware,
Of the world that is coming,
But soon you will have this whole place,
In a spin.
See its in her eyes, in those worldly eyes,
Shes a wonder of nature, a wonderful creature,
So sly tonight is she.
Oooh do you know where your going,
On this journey your making,
Watch your too tiny face are fighting for.
Like a little hummingbird,
Hovering innocently,
Flying in though my window,
Taking over.
(Taking over)
Ah she won't be denied,
She won't be denied,
Ah She won't be denied,
She will not be denied.
Ah do you know where your going?
Little tiny spark,
But a spark it could catch and could grow and could burn this whole place,
To the ground.
Such a little voice,
Little tiny voice,
Still its easy to hear how it someday could fill a whole world,
With sound.
But you hardly breath,
Cause you move so fast,
Never looking back,
Never looking back.
Oh do you know where your going,
Do you know where your head is?
Where your sweet crooked smile is taking you,
Hummingbird.
Oh she won't be denied,
She wont be denied.
Oh she won't be denied,
She wont be denied.
There's a world out there,
And its unaware,
Of the world that is coming,
But soon you will have this whole place,
In a spin.
See its in her eyes, in those worldly eyes,
Shes a wonder of nature, a wonderful creature,
So sly tonight is she.
Oooh do you know where your going,
On this journey your making,
Watch your too tiny face are fighting for.
Like a little hummingbird,
Hovering innocently,
Flying in though my window,
Taking over.
(Taking over)
Ah she won't be denied,
She won't be denied,
Ah She won't be denied,
She will not be denied.
Ah do you know where your going?
Baby Goodbye lyrics - Aqualung
Only when I close the door
Only when I turn the key
Only then I really know
Ooh
Love walked out a long time ago
Without a warning
Left me here with you alone
Holding out my empty hand
Spelling out my empty words
Pouring out my empty heart
Ooh
All this time wondering why
My kisses made you cry
Oh I never realised
You could see it in my eyes
Love is blind
Unkind
And always gets its way
And love wont spare
Us joy
Or consequence or pain
And love wont wait for me
To work out how to save
Should've done this differently
Would have seen love slip away
Could have made it stay a while
But love walked out a long time ago
Without warning
Oh I never realised
You could see it in my eyes
Yeah yeahhhhhhhhhh
This love wont wait for me
To work out how to save
Goodbye
Baby goodbye
Goodbye
Baby goodbye
Goodbye
Baby goodbye
Spelling out my empty words
Pouring out my empty heart
Goodbye
Baby goodbye
Only when I turn the key
Only then I really know
Ooh
Love walked out a long time ago
Without a warning
Left me here with you alone
Holding out my empty hand
Spelling out my empty words
Pouring out my empty heart
Ooh
All this time wondering why
My kisses made you cry
Oh I never realised
You could see it in my eyes
Love is blind
Unkind
And always gets its way
And love wont spare
Us joy
Or consequence or pain
And love wont wait for me
To work out how to save
Should've done this differently
Would have seen love slip away
Could have made it stay a while
But love walked out a long time ago
Without warning
Oh I never realised
You could see it in my eyes
Yeah yeahhhhhhhhhh
This love wont wait for me
To work out how to save
Goodbye
Baby goodbye
Goodbye
Baby goodbye
Goodbye
Baby goodbye
Spelling out my empty words
Pouring out my empty heart
Goodbye
Baby goodbye
All Or Nothing lyrics - Aqualung
It all depends on how you look at things
It all depends on what the day might bring
The problem is I never really know what way is up
Coz I could turn around another way
Could turn it into something that would make me stay
(ah yeh)
You've took the best days I've ever known
Just the best days or so I'm told
But then again perhaps its just like any other day
(other day)
I tried to run I wanna stand and stare
I wanna take you with me wanna leave you there
I want it all or nothing
I want it all or nothing
I want it all or nothing
I wanna push you away
Wanna beg you'll stay
I don't know what I want
I don't know what I want...
...no.
Have you ever lost yourself in the feeling
Have you ever felt yourself feeling weak
I find myself and realize I don't know where I am
My heart is racing as I look around
I'm scared of staying up but I don't wanna come down
I want it all or nothing
I want it all or nothing
I want it all or nothing
I want it all or nothing
I want to push you away
I want to beg you'll stay
I don't know what I want
I don't know what I want
Why don't you leave me alone
Why don't you leave me alone
I want it all...
I want it all or nothing
I want it all or nothing
I want it all or nothing...yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh...
Why don't you leave me alone
Why don't you leave me alone
I want it all or nothing
I want it all or nothing
It all depends on what the day might bring
The problem is I never really know what way is up
Coz I could turn around another way
Could turn it into something that would make me stay
(ah yeh)
You've took the best days I've ever known
Just the best days or so I'm told
But then again perhaps its just like any other day
(other day)
I tried to run I wanna stand and stare
I wanna take you with me wanna leave you there
I want it all or nothing
I want it all or nothing
I want it all or nothing
I wanna push you away
Wanna beg you'll stay
I don't know what I want
I don't know what I want...
...no.
Have you ever lost yourself in the feeling
Have you ever felt yourself feeling weak
I find myself and realize I don't know where I am
My heart is racing as I look around
I'm scared of staying up but I don't wanna come down
I want it all or nothing
I want it all or nothing
I want it all or nothing
I want it all or nothing
I want to push you away
I want to beg you'll stay
I don't know what I want
I don't know what I want
Why don't you leave me alone
Why don't you leave me alone
I want it all...
I want it all or nothing
I want it all or nothing
I want it all or nothing...yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh...
Why don't you leave me alone
Why don't you leave me alone
I want it all or nothing
I want it all or nothing
Take Me Home lyrics - Aqualung
Every day,
Keep making the same mistakes
Once again,
I find myself in the same old place
And I'm wandering,
Wondering where to turn
There's a dead end straight ahead
Won't you take me home?
And you said
There's nothing you wouldn't do
And I answered
There's nothing in this world I need you to do
Just hold me in your arms.
I feel so cold.
There are dark clouds gathering
Won't you take me home?
Oh, won't you take me home?
Got me wandering,
Wondering where to turn
There's a dead end straight ahead
Won't you take me home?
Oh please, won't you take me home?
Oh, won't you take me home?
Keep making the same mistakes
Once again,
I find myself in the same old place
And I'm wandering,
Wondering where to turn
There's a dead end straight ahead
Won't you take me home?
And you said
There's nothing you wouldn't do
And I answered
There's nothing in this world I need you to do
Just hold me in your arms.
I feel so cold.
There are dark clouds gathering
Won't you take me home?
Oh, won't you take me home?
Got me wandering,
Wondering where to turn
There's a dead end straight ahead
Won't you take me home?
Oh please, won't you take me home?
Oh, won't you take me home?
