album: Alone With Everybody (2000)
(Check the meaning)
When I'm low, and I'm weak, and I'm lost
I don't know who I can trust
Paranoia, the destroyer, comes knocking on my door
You know the pain drifts to days, turns to nights
But it slowly will subside
And when it does, I take a step, I take a breath
And wonder what I'll find
Can you hear what I'm saying?
Got my mind meditating on love, love
Feel what I'm saying
Got my mind meditating on love, love
(The human condition, the human condition)
Too much blood, too much hate, turn off the set
There's got to be something more
When Mohammed, Allah, Buddah, Jesus Christ
Are knocking down my door
I'm agnostic getting God, but man
She takes a female form
There's no time, no space, no law
We're out here on our own
Can you hear what I'm saying?
Got my mind meditating on love, love
Feel what I'm saying
Got my mind meditating on love, love
Check the meaning
(The human condition)
Check the feeling
(The human condition)
Guess it's life, doing it's thing
Making you cry, making you think
Yeah life, dealing it's hand
Making you cry and you don't understand
Life, doing it's thing
Making you cry now, making you think of
Pain, doing it's thing
Making you cry yeah, making you sing
Don't say it, don't say it's too late
Don't, don't say it's too late (It's never too late, it's never too late)
Don't, don't say it's too late (It's never too late)
Don't, don't say it's too late
The human condition, the big decisions
The human condition, the big decisions
I'm like a fish with legs, I fell from the tree
I made a rocket (check the meaning), I made a wheel
I made a rocket (check the feeling), I swam the ocean (check the meaning)
I saw the moon (say a prayer), I seen the universe (and beyond)
I see you (check the feeling), I see me (check the meaning)
That's my reality
And while the city sleeps we go walking
It's a beautiful world
And when the city sleeps we go walking
We find a hole in the sky and then we start talking
And then we say "Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ
Buy us some time, buy us some time"
Hear what I'm saying
Can you hear what I'm saying?
Can you hear what I'm saying?
Can you hear what I'm saying?
It's gonna be alright
Baby come on, come on down
And love please don't make a sound
Let nature strike a chord
'Cos nature is the Lord that I depend
When you learn to cut it loose
All the things that've been drowning you
Let 'em slide from your hands
The foolish demands from the people round you
I know you can buy it in bottles and
I know you may find it with prayer
I know it all so very well
Until I get there then
I'll be looking for the sense
You can meet me where I am
And here I stand, and here I stay
I know you can buy it in bottles and
I know you may find it with pills
I know it all so very well
Stuck in this life where nothing changes
I'm born of man, I'm born of ages
I know you can buy it in bottles and
I know you may find it with prayer
I know it all so very well
I know you can buy it in bottles and
I know you may find it with pills
I know it all so very well
Until I get there then
Until I get there then
Until I get there then
Until I get there then
The bright lights of the big city
They taught us how to think, they taught us how to steal
Come on and steal me, steal me
You took your razor tongue to my lovin' eyes
You said "A time to live, now's the time to die"
Come on now die with me, die with me
Can't you see there must be more for me
You know you're livin' a lie
And so am I
You know I'd have a breakdown
But I don't have the time
I get up straight, I take my pill
I swallow it whole, I don't feel ill
It ain't a crime to live, it ain't a crime to die
It ain't a crime to walk in this big, big sky
Come on now walk with me, walk with me
Can't you see there must be more for me
You know you're livin' a lie
And so am I
I know you'd have a breakdown
But you don't have the time
And you're all messed up
Waiting for a sign
You want me to paint it
I haven't got the time
Take a ride with me
It ain't no crime to walk, it ain't no crime to fly
It ain't no crime to die, it ain't no crime to take a walk in
the big sky
The bright lights of the big city
They taught us how to think, they taught us how to see can you
(Twenty, twenty-first century breakdown)
Can't you see there must be more for me
You know you're livin' a lie
And so am I
I know you'd have a breakdown
But you don't have the time
And you're all messed up
Waiting for a sign
You want me to paint it
I haven't got the time
And it's making me crazy
I don't know where I fit
I guess in the end
We're all sick
Come on now ride with me, come on now ride with me
Come on now ride with me, come on now ride with me
Come on now ride with me, just take a ride with me
Twenty twenty twenty twenty twenty twenty-first
Twenty twenty twenty twenty-first
Twenty twenty twenty twenty twenty
(The bright lights of the big city)
Twenty twenty twenty twenty twenty sound
(The bright lights of the big city)
Twenty twenty twenty twenty twenty vision
(The bright lights of the big city)
Come on now ride with me
Come on now ride with me
You're just like I was
So full of love, so full of love
I feel you're taking me back
To all those feelings of yesterday
Dark and dusty tracks
How long can I stay here?
How long can I pray here?
You know we meet in another space
You turn around and I see your face
Oh what a fruit, what a tree you shall be
You'll be fed by the mountains, fed by the streams
(Set a sail) Set a sail for paradise (We'll leave in the morning)
(Set a sail) Set a sail to paradise (We'll leave in the morning)
I know when I'm losing control
I play I am the cosmos
And let the feelings roll
How long can I stay here?
How long can I pray here?
You know we meet in another place
You turn around and I see your face
Oh and what a fruit, what a tree you shall be
You'll be fed by the mountains, the crystal streams
Then we go for a walk
We hold hands and start to talk
Oh what a fruit, what a tree this love will be
You'll be fed by the mountains, fed by me
Set a sail for paradise (Leave in the morning)
Set a sail for paradise (Leave in the morning)
Set a sail for paradise
Leave in the morning
We can leave in the morning
Leave in the morning (Set a sail)
Leave in the morning
Leave in the morning (Set a sail)
Sometimes you hold the world in your hands
Sometimes the world it baffles you with plans
Some days you drift oh so easy and free
Some nights you sleep in blissful harmony
How do we leave the wreckage of our lives?
How do you leave the past out in the night?
Don't throw away the pictures that give you a smile
Don't throw away the memories that make you cry
I saw God in the numbers
I saw God in the numbers
I saw God in the numbers
I saw God in the numbers
I know that I could learn a little harder
There's so much that I want to read and know
But maybe I'm a little lazy
Maybe I don't really want to know
I saw God in the numbers
I saw God in the numbers (I saw God in the numbers)
I saw God in the numbers
I saw God in the numbers (I saw God in the numbers)
I saw God in the numbers
I saw God in the numbers (I saw God in the numbers)
I saw God in the numbers
I saw God in the numbers (I saw God in the numbers)
The more I learn of history the more I hate it
'Cos we're repeating things we did a thousand years ago
We're building palaces of fortune in the sky
There's an underclass dying whilst we smile
I saw God in the numbers (I saw God in the numbers)
I saw God in the numbers (I saw God in the numbers)
I saw God in the numbers (I saw God in the numbers)
I saw God in the numbers (I saw God in the numbers)
I saw God in the numbers (I saw God in the numbers)
I saw God in the numbers (I saw God in the numbers)
God in the numbers (I saw God in the numbers)
I saw God in the numbers (I saw God in the numbers)
(I don't wanna
I don't wanna
I don't wanna)
We are on a rock, spinning silently
But I'm safe when you're here with me
These questions I'm asking, they've been haunting me
I need some security, can't you see?
Her love was like a fountain rushing and pouring down
The darkness is putting out the light in me
She's a well to be dug, she's a university
A cosmic library - wait and see
We are on a rock, spinning silently
Won't you get close to me
We are on a rock, spinning in infinity
Won't you get close to me
Is it my genes that have made me?
Is it the things I took, is it the things I said
Does karma rule?
Well if there's a God well can you hear me now?
I am crying out, hoping you know
And in my baby's arms I need no faith
I need no words to define myself
And when I'm holding you, light rushing through
I wanna make it now, safe and straight
We are on a rock, spinning silently
Baby get a hold of me
We are on a rock, spinning in infinity
Baby consoling me
Oh I don't know when the fear's going to end
I don't know if my prayers are received - the ones I send
(We are on a rock, spinning silently)
I can't live in pain and fear
(We are on a rock, spinning in infinity)
Oh I see so much joy and it makes me scared
(We are on a rock, spinning silently)
Oh I don't know if my prayers are received, until the end
(We are on a rock, spinning in infinity)
Oh I guess it ain't offet for you to pray for peace
Oh baby I don't know where I'm going
All I know is that I need you as a friend
Hey, I heard you'd run away
But where you gonna run?
You got such a pretty face, and the world's a small, small place
'Cos when you're running on your own
You know you ain't like a rolling stone
Because a stone will find it's place
And when you hear this space
Just crawl and never run
And when you're work is done
Then you'll see the sun
So sing what you want I'm a man on a mission
No time to love, no time to be wasting
I wanna know if you feel above him
All the things you do that just make yourself feel undone, feel undone
Blues, I heard you caught the blues
And what was it they said
Have you got out of bed, have you got out of that?
I know a headspace that you don't
I will - you cannot and you don't
A fortune has been made on all the illness they made
And then we've got to pay for the drugs to take it away
And then you're going to find there's nothing in your mind
That you don't already know, that you ain't already seen
Do you live in a dream?
Sing your song, and don't you cause trouble
Man on a mission there's a man in a bubble but
I wanna know if you feel above him
All the things you do that just make yourself feel undone, feel undone
Sing your song, and don't you cause trouble
Man on a mission there's a man in a bubble and
Play your cards, throw your dice
You get a piece of land and a piece of advice
No time to be wasting there's no time to be wasted
No time to be wasting there's no time to get wasted
No time to be wasting always time to get wasted
No time to be wasting there's no time to get wasted
There's always time to get wasted (There's no time to waste)
There's always time to get wasted (There's no time to waste)
There's always time to get wasted (There's no time to waste)
There's always time to get wasted (There's no time to waste)
There's always time to get wasted (No time to waste)
There's always time to get wasted (No time to waste)
They've got me wasting time (No time to waste)
Got me wasting time (No time to waste)
They got me wasting time (No time to waste)
Got me wasting time (No time to waste)
Don't drink me I'm like turpentine
Make you blind, burn your insides
If I don't know me then I don't know you
Can't figure out what I'm supposed to do
I ain't running away from my mind this time
I ain't running away from my mind this time
There's a killer in me and a killer in you
A little talent but a lot would do
If I don't know me then I don't know you
I don't know why I do the things I do
I ain't running away from my mind this time
I ain't running away from my mind this time
I ain't running away from my mind this time
I ain't running away from my mind this time
Too stressed to eat, too tired to sleep
Alien to all you meet
It's the season of the witch, it's the season of the spin
And nobody knows what state we're in
It's the season of the witch, it's the season of the spin
And nobody knows the trouble we're in
It's the season of the witch, it's the season of the spin
Lord, I've been trying
Trying to keep myself from crying
And it gets hard, there's no use denying
There's been some nights when I did a little lying
Sure feels like I've been here before
Yes it sure feels like I've been here before
Captain tell me where I've been,
Are there waves left there for me?
Is there something left to see?
Is there something left to be?
Oh I know that I'm holding on but I've got time to grow
Alright, alright, alright
Said it's alright, now
Days that I've been spending
And all these blues - they're never ending
And it gets hard, and life will go on again
Gonna shake off these blues, I'm leaving them now
Sure feels like I've been here before
Yes it sure feels like I've been here before
Captain tell me where I've been,
Are there waves left there for me?
Can you see the warning sign
Flashing there in my mind?
My mind is free and I'm talking up to you - I say
"Alright, alright, alright"
(I've been trying)
It feels good, it feels good, it feels good, it feels good, it feels good
(To keep my soul from crying)
My love is alright now,
(I've been trying)
Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it feels right
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it feels right
Old river and your
Restless wonder and your
Graceful leisure rolling to the sea
How many men have stood like I am
Gazing out and wishing for someone
Some are living and
Some are dead and
Some are hiding, waiting for the sun
Nature is the law, baby
Nature is the law, now baby now
Nature is the law, baby
Nature is the law, now baby now
The old river with your
Restless swagger and your
Graceful wonder flowing to the sea
I am begging you to hold me and throw me in and
Tell me when I will find my peace
Some are dead endings
Some are living and then
Some are waiting for the sun
Nature is the law, baby
Nature is the law, now baby now
Nature is the law, baby
Nature is the law, now baby now
Nature is the law, baby
Nature is the law, now baby now
Restless wonder roll into the sea
Nature is the law, baby
Nature is the law, now baby now
Restless wonder flow into the sea
Nature is the law, baby
Nature is the law, now baby now
Nature is the law, baby
Nature is the law, now baby now
Nature is the law, baby
Nature is the law, now baby now
Restless wonder roll into the sea
Nature is the law, baby
Nature is the law, now baby now
Restless wonder roll into the sea
Nature is the law, baby
Nature is the law, now baby now
Restless wonder flow into the sea
(Some are dead)
Nature is the law, baby
(Some are buried)
Nature is the law, now baby now
(Some are waiting)
Restless wonder roll into the sea
Nature is the law, baby
Nature is the law, now baby now
Restless wonder roll into the sea
This song believes you're a miracle
Don't believe in the cynical
And if you can hear it too, you better move along
You see time you feel it slip away
Man, you better get a plan today
Karma coming to get you down
You better jump out of the way
It's gonna be a long, long road
Gonna be a million paths to sow
Gonna be trouble on the way
Gonna get your fair share of the pain
And there's gonna be laughter and joy
Gonna be friends that you're gonna destroy
And there's gonna be family that don't exist
And there's gonna be people that you wished you'd never missed - just like...
Oh, I love the innocent
The way they see things is the end
Oh, I hope you see them too
I'm in danger of flipping my sideline wall
Hoping that you don't hear me fall
'Cos the echo is gonna hit you one day
You'd better jump out of the way, yeah
Gonna be a long, long road
Gonna be a million paths to sow
Gonna be trouble on the way
Gonna get your fair share of the pain
But there's gonna be laughter and joy
Gonna be things that you wanna destroy
There's gonna be family that don't exist
And there's gonna be people that you know you'll never miss -
just like...
(I must be dreaming) oh just like...
Dream on dreamer, dream on dreamer, dream on dreamer,
(I must be dreaming)
Dream on dreamer, dream on dreamer, dream on dreamer,
(I must be dreaming)
Dream on dreamer, dream on dreamer, dream on dreamer,
(Too busy dreaming)
Dream on dreamer, dream on dreamer, dream on dreamer, dream on dreamer
Dream on dreamer, dream on dreamer, dream on dreamer, dream on dreamer
I spend the night
Yeah looking for my insides in a hotel room
Waiting for you
Were gonna make it tonight
Yeah something in the air tells me the time is right so we better get on
Chorus
Dj,play a song for the Lovers tonight
Please, play a song for the lovers tonight
Don't wanna wait

Oh, play a song for the Lover tonight
Dj, play a song for the Lover tonight
Dj, play a song for the Lovers tonight

O brother wont you lend a hand Im alone in a room
And Im waiting for love
I dont know when this dreams gonna stop
But im telling you friend I dont want to get up x2
I get my beat with you
When we see things through
And I think about you all the time
Who the winners in the game were playing
I don't even think they know
Who the losers and how much their paying
I don't even think they know
I need to hear the truth
From the soul of you
Chase the moments we can share
Who the winners in the game were playing
I don't even think they know
Who the losers and how much their paying
I don't even think they know
They got time
They got life
Take and take your time
I got to hear the sound of the morning song
It's the right place with your head
I'm blowing smoke and I'll feel so damn fine
I know you care
Who the winners in the game were playing
I don't even think they know
Who the losers and how much their paying
I don't even think they know
Into the brave new world
I hope I see you on the other side
Of this changing world
Baby when my ship pulls in
I try to believe in anyone
Look at the state I'm in.
But for now
I'm just sitting at the table
Hearing songs
Wishing I was able, stable
NAH NAH NAH NAH NAH x 3
I hope I see you on the other side x 2
Brother don't try to find
Don't try to believe in anyone
For I would change your mind
Baby when my ship pulls in
I try to believe in anyone
Look at the state I'm in, I'm fine
But for now
I'm just sitting at the table
Hearing songs
Wishing I was able, stable
NAH NAH NAH NAH NAH x 6
I hope I see you on the other side x6
But for now
I'm just sitting at the table
Hearing songs
Wishing I was able, stable
Brave new world x 3
NAH NAH NAH NAH NAH x 6
I hope I see you on the other side x6
re you tuning in x4
And I wanted to go
Half my life
And I feel kind of strange
Like I never lived that life
And I'm trying hard
To control my heart
And I always want to know
And I always want to go
Chorus
New York are you tuning in
New York big city of dreams
New York oh what a city
New York Are you tuning in x4
There's now time to unpack yet
Let's get straight out on the street
And feel no inhibitions
This city was built for me
And my head is full of questions
When did I feel this good
In the arms of my lover
Burning through the night of New York
And its funny how time fly's
In the city that never sleeps
It's getting after hours
And I'm feeling the heat
I'M almost dead and buried
The day nearly done
But I want to keep on going
I'm going to kiss the sun in New York
And I'm feeling kind of selfish
I've been busy on your island
Just having my own fun
It's an English tradition
Find some money make some time
Get busy on your island
And slowly lose our minds in New York
You ain't ever seen
The way to find your dreams
Forget what's within within
Cos who you've been you've been
If all we lose is the skin
I'm putting you under within
We're gonna make this life together
The symptoms are too deep
I got you on my mind in my sleep you on my mind in my
sleep
Do you know how hard I'll try
To lose this foolish pride
Can you take me as I am
Can you understand me
Unchain me now
If all we lose is the skin
I'm putting you under within
We're gonna make this life together
The symptoms are too deep
I got you on my mind in my sleep you on my mind in my
sleep
I got you on my mind in my sleep
Heavenly body
There's nothing really wrong with the state of your
ambition
The whole world is crumbling
Cos your crazy vision
All wars are boys and death is what you hate most
Come on baby
Don't you want to get a new size x4
It's a crazy world
For a mixed up boy and a mixed up girl x2
So you got no god
You got no love
To tell me off
But you've got that spirit
So please stick with it
This world wouldn't be
A world without you in it
Please Shelter Me x2
I found this Crazy World
It's chewing on my brain like a desert train locus
I find it hard to love I find it hard to focus
The whole world is crumbling
Cos their crazy visions
Come on baby
Don't you want to get a new size x4
It's a crazy world
For a mixed up boy and a mixed up girl x2
So you got no god
You got no love
To tell me off
You got to keep your spirit
(You stick with it)
There ain't a world without you in it
(You stick with it)
So you got no god
You got no love
To tell me off
Shelter me x8
I have swum those raging seas.
Washed up by an ocean who had tired of me.
How I survive I will never know.
This wreck's got a home and a whole lot of hope.
I'm out on a beach, sat on a rock,
Thinking of you and the love I've got.
I saw the devil's servant. I sent her home.
I said, "Bring me your master. I don't want his dog."
I'm on fire. I'm full of a new desire.
I'm full of love and new desire.
I lit my fire; blew my conch. Nobody comes.
I built my boat from bamboo, but it sunk.
I looked at the sky for vapour trails. Nobody comes.
I wrote your name on a tree
along with the days this has taken you away from me.
I'm out on a beach, eating my heart,
Thinking of you and the love I got.
I saw the devil's servant. I sent her home.
I said, "Bring me your master. I don't want his dog."
But, I'm on fire. I'm full of a new desire.
I need somebody like you, a warm body.
I ain't afraid to die.
There you go,
"?in't afraid to die."
I'm out on a beach, eating my heart,
Thinking of you and the love I got.
I saw the devil's serpent. I sent him home.
I said, "Bring me your master. I don't want his dog."
I'm out on a beach, sat on a rock,
Thinking of you and the love I got.
I saw the devil's servant. I sent her home.
I said, "Bring me your master. I don't want his dog."
I need somebody like you.
Oh I got money to burn I want to burn it on you
Come on yeah yeah

::Come on People Were Making It Now
Sometimes I feel like I can't move on
Nothing in life is turning me on
But I still see clearly, when I see you smiling
You know nothing seems to fit
I couldn't see my way through the shit
When every single second of my waking day
Was thinking of you
Thinking of you
You never know
That I am alive
I am alive
I wanna grow
There are so many things I can do
Just like falling in love with you
Take my hand now, understand me
You can come here too
C'mon people, we're making it now
Yeah, yeah, yeah
C'mon people, we're making it now
Yeah, yeah, yeah
But today I worked it out
I got something I can shout about
Someone who believes in all the things I'm thinking
But where have you gone
Where have you gone
I'll never know
And I am alive
I am alive
I wanna grow
There are so many things I can do
Just like falling in love with you
Take my hand now, understand me
You can come here too
Everybody
Cool morning
I was looking out it was a cold day
Songbird was drinking from a table
But songbird you just flew away
Everybody's gotta feel the weight of death sometime
And find out what it's like to be left behind
Sometimes you don't get a chance to ask where or why
So let it break the magic beauty of your fragile mind
And let it break the magic beauty of your fragile mind
It's not a sign of weakness
When you're searching for the places where the
memories flow
There may come a time when you rearrange and may leave
those memories
You've gotta let them go
Everybody's gotta feel the weight of death sometime
And find out what it's like to be left behind
Sometimes you don't get a chance to ask where or why
Let it break the magic beauty of your fragile mind
Let it break the magic beauty of your fragile mind
Let it break the magic beauty of your fragile mind
Let it break the magic beauty of your fragile mind
Everybody's gotta feel the weight of death sometime
And find out what it's like to be left behind
Sometimes you don't get a chance to ask where or why
Let it break the magic beauty of your fragile mind
Let it break the magic beauty of your fragile mind
Let it break the magic beauty of your fragile mind
Let it break the magic beauty of your fragile mind
Stay strong
Move on
Keep on
Stay strong
Move on
Keep on
