Be Here Now lyrics
D'you Know What I Mean?
Step off the train all alone at dawn, Back into the hole where I was born, The sun in the sky never raised am eye to me, The blood on the trax must be mine, The fool on the hill and I feel fine, Don't look back cos you know what you might see.
Look into the wall of my minds eye, I think I know but I don't know why, The questions are the answers you might need, Coming in a mess going out in style, I ain't good looking but I'm someones child, No-one can give me the air that's mine to breathe.
I met my maker I made him cry, And on my shoulder he asked me why, His people won't fly through the storm, I said "Listen up man, they don't even know you're born".
All my people right here right now, D'you know what I mean?, All my people right here right now, D'you know what I mean?, All my people right here right now, D'you know what I mean?, Yeah, Yeah.
I don't really care for what you believe, So open up your fist or you won't receive, Thoughts and the words of every man you'll need, So get up off the floor and believe in life, No-ones ever gonna ask you twice, Get o the bus and bring it on home to me.
My Big Mouth
Everybody knows... but no-one's saying nothing, And it's a sound so very loud... that no-one can hear, I got something in my shoe... it's keeping me from walking, Down this long and winding road... back hoe to you.
And round this town you've ceased to be, That's what you get for sleeping with the enemy, Where angels fly you won't play, So guess who's gonna take the blame for...
My big mouth, my big name, Who'll put on my shoes while they're walking, Slowly down the hall of fame?, Into my big mouth, you could fly a plane, Who'll put on my shoes while they're walking, Slowly down the hall of fame?, Slowly down the hall of fame?
I ain't never spoke to God, And I ain't never been to heaven, But you assumed I knew the way, Even though the map was given, And as you look into the eyes, Of a bloody cold assassin, Only then you realise, With whose life you have been messin'.
Magic Pie
An extra-ordinary guy, Can never have an ordinary day, He might live the long goodbye, But that is not for me to say, I dig his friends, I dig his shoes, He is just a child with nothing to lose, But his mind.
They are sleeping while they dream, And then they wanna be adored, They who don't say what they mean, Will live and die by their own sword, I dig their friends, I dig their shoes, They are like a child with nothing to lose, In their minds, their minds.
But I'll have my way, In my own time, I'll have my say, My star will shine.
Cos you see me I got my magic pie, Think of me yeah that was me I was that passer by, I've been and now I've gone.
There are but a thousand days preparing for a thousand years, Many minds to educate the people who have dissapeared, D'you dig my friends, D'you dig my shoes, I am like a child with nothing to lose but my mind, My mind.
Stand By Me
Made a meal and threw it up on sunday I've - Gotta lot things to learn, Said I would and I'll be leaving one day - Before my heart starts to burn.
So what's the matter with you?, Sing me something new... Don't you know, The cold and wind and rain don't know, They only seem to come and go away.
Times are hard when things have got no meaning, I've found a key upon the floor, Maybe you and I will not believe in the things we find, Behind the door.
Stand by me - nobody knows the way it's gonna be, Stand by me - Nobody knows the way it's gonna be, Stand by me - Nobody knows the way it's gonna be.
If you're leaving will you take me with you, I'm tired of talking on my phone, There is one thing I can never give you, My heart can never be your home.
I Hope, I Think, I Know.
They're trying hard to put me in m place, And that is why I've gotta keep running, The future's mine and it's no disgrace, Cos in the end the past means nothing.
You tell me I'm free then you tie me down, And from my chains I think it's a pity, What did it cost you to wear my crown, You don't like me why don't you admit it.
D'you feel a little down today?, Bet you ain't got much to say?, You're gonna miss me when I'm not there, And you know I don't care, You know I don't care.
As we beg and steal and borrow, Life is hit and miss and this, I hope I think I know, And if I ever hear the names you call, If I stmble catch me when I fall, Cos baby after all, you'll never forget my name.
The Girl In The Dirty Shirt.
If I may so bold could I just say something, Come and make me my day, The clouds around your soul don't gather there for nothing, I can chase them all away.
Why do you need a reason for to feel happy, Or shining for the rest of the world, Give me just a smile and would you make it snappy, Get your shit together girl.
You got a feeling lost inside, It just won't let you go, Life is sneaking up behind, It just won't let you go, No it just won't let you go, Is what I'm trying to say...
Is would you maybe, come dancing with me, Cos to me it doesn't matter, If your hopes and dreams are shattered, Cos when you say something you make me believe, In the girl who wears a dirty shirt, She knows exactly what she's worth to me!, That I can see, I can see.
If you ever fnd yourself inside a bubble, You gotta make your own way home, You can call me any time you're seeing double, Now you know you're not alone.
Fade In-Out
Get on the rollercoaster, The fair's in time today, Y'gotta be bad-enough to beat the brave.
So get on the helter skelter, Bowl into the fray, Y'gotta be bad-enough to beat the brave.
You fade in-out, You fade in-out, Without a doubt, I don't see no shine, Today is just a daydream, Tomorrow will be cast away.
Coming in-out of nowhere, Singin' rhapsody, Y'gotta be bad-enough to wanna be.
Sitting upside a high-chair, With the devils refugee, Is gonna be-blinded by the light, That follows me.
She fade in-out, She fade in-out, Without a dobt, I don't see no shine, Today is just a daydream, Tomorrow we'll be castaway.
Don't Go Away
A cold and frosty morning there's not a lot to say, About the things caught in my mind, As the day is dawning my plane flew away, With all the things caught in my mind.
And I wanna be there when you're..., Coming down, And I wanna be there when you hit the ground.
So don't go away, say what you say, But say that you'll stay, Forever and a day... in the time of my life, Cos I need more time, yes I need more time, Just to make things right.
Damn my situation and the games I have to play, With all the things caught in my mind, Damn my education I can't find the words to say, About the things caught in my mind.
Me and you what's going on?, All we seem to know is how to show, The feeling's that are wrong.
Be Here Now
Was your face in the morning sun, Flash your pan at the song that I'm singing, Touch down bass living on the run, Make no sweat of the hole that you're digging.
Wrap up cold when it's warm outside, Your shit jokes remind me of Digsy's, Be my magic carpet ride, Fly me down to capital city.
Kickin' up a storm from the day that I was born, Sing a song for me one from let it be, Open up yer eyes, get a grip of yourslef inside, You betcha!
All Around The World.
It's a bit early in the midnight hour for me, To go through all the things that I want to be, I don't believe in everything I see, Y'know I'm blind so why do you disagree.
So take me away cos I just don't wanna stay, And the lies you make me say, Are getting deeper everyday, These are crazy days but they make me shine, Time keeps rolling by.
All around the world, you've gotta spread the word, Tell them what you heard, We're gonna make a better day, All around the world, you gotta spread the word, Tell them what you heard, You know it's gonna be o.k.
So what you gonna do when the walls come falling down?, You never move you never make a sound, So where you gonna swim with the riches that you found?, If you're lost at sea I hope that you've drowned.
It's Gettin' Better Man
Say something shout it from the rooftops of your head, Make it sort of mean something make me understand, Or I'll forget, The people here on lifes beaches, They wish upon the waves that hide the sand, Let them know that life teaches you, To build a castle in your hand.
Maybe the songs that we sing are wrong, Maybe the dreams that we dream are gone, So bring it on home and it won't be long, It's getting better man!
Hey! What was that you said to me?, Just say the word and I'll be free?, And where the stars are shining bright, It's gettin' better man!, And crashing in upon a wave, It's calling out beyond the grave, And we're the fire in the sky, It's gettin' better man!
Build something build a better place and call it home, Even if it means nothing you'll never ever feel that you're alone.
