SUBSTITUTE
you think we look pretty good together you think my shoes are made
of leather but i'm a substitute for another guy i look pretty tall but
my heels are high the simple things you see are all complicated i look
pretty young, but i'm just back-dated, yeah substitute your lies for fact
i can see right through your plastic mac i look all white, but my dad was
black my fine looking suit is really made out of sack i was born with a
plastic spoon in my mouth the north side of my town faced east, and the
east was facing south and now you dare to look me in the eye those crocodile
tears are what you cry it's a genuine problem, you won't try to work it
out at all you just pass it by, pass it by substitute me for him substitute
my coke for gin substitute you for my mum at least i'll get my washing
done
OUT OF TIME
you don't know what's going on you've been away for far too long you
can't come back and think you are still mine you're out of touch, my baby
my poor discarded baby i said, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time well,
baby, baby, baby, you're out of time i said, baby, baby, baby, you're out
of time you are all left out out of there without a doubt 'cause baby,
baby, baby, you're out of time you thought you were a clever girl giving
up your social whirl but you can't come back and be the first in line,
on no you're obsolete my baby my poor old-fashioned baby i said baby, baby,
baby you're out of time well, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time i said,
baby, baby, baby, you're out of time yes, you are left out out of there
without a doubt 'cause baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME
there's a new sun risin' up angry in the sky and there's a new voice
sayin' "we're not afraid to die" let the old world make believe it's blind
and deaf and dumb but nothing can change the shape of things to come there
are changes lyin' ahead in every road and there are new thoughts ready
and waiting to explode when tomorrow is today the bells may toll for some
but nothing can change the shape of things to come the future's comin'
in, now sweet and strong ain't no-one gonna hold it back for long there
are new dreams crowdin' out old realities there's revolution sweepin' in
like a fresh new breeze let the old world make believe it's blind and deaf
and dumb (but) nothing can change the shape of things [4x] to come
SOMEBODY TO LOVE
when the truth is found to be lies and all the joys within you dies
don't you want somebody to love don't you need somebody to love wouldn't
you love somebody to love you better find somebody to love when the garden
flowers baby are dead yes and your mind is full of red don't you want somebody
to love don't you need somebody to love wouldn't you love somebody to love
you better find somebody to love your eyes, i say your eyes may look like
his but in your head baby i'm afraid you don't know where it is don't you
want somebody to love don't you need somebody to love wouldn't you love
somebody to love you better find somebody to love tears are running ah
running down your breast and your friends baby they treat you like a guest
don't you want somebody to love don't you need somebody to love wouldn't
you love somebody to love you better find somebody to love
WHEN I WAS YOUNG
the rooms were so much colder then my father was a soldier then and
times were very hard when i was young when i was young i smoked my first
cigarette at ten and for girls i had a that yen and i had quite a ball
when i was young when i was young it was more important pain more painful
and laughter much louder, yeah when i was young when i was young i met
my first love at thirteen she was brown, and i was pretty green and i learned
quite a lot when i was young when i was young when i was young it was more
important pain more painful and laughter much louder, yeah when i was young
when i was young my faith was so much stronger then i believed in fellow
men and i was so much older then when i was young when i was young when
i was young...
7 AND 7 IS
when i was a boy i thought about the times i'd be a man i'd sit inside
a bottle and pretend that i was in a can in my lonely room i'd sit my mind
in an ice cream cone you can throw me if you wanna 'cause i'm a bone and
i go oop-ip-ip oop-ip-ip, yeah! if i don't start cryin' it's because that
i have got no eyes my father's in the fireplace and my dog lies hypnotized
through a crack of light i was unable to find my way trapped inside a night
but i'm a day and i go oop-ip-ip oop-ip-ip, yeah! one... two... three...
four!
MY BACK PAGES
crimson flames tied through my ears rollin' high and mighty traps pounced
with fire on flaming roads using ideas as my maps "we'll meet on edges,
soon," said i proud 'neath heated brow ah, but i was so much older then,
i'm younger than that now half-wracked prejudice leaped forth "rip down
all hate," i screamed lies that
life is black and white spoke from my skull
i dreamed romantic facts of musketeers foundation deep, somehow ah, but
i was so much older then, i'm younger than that now in a soldier's stance,
i aimed my hand at the mongrel dogs who teach fearing not that i'd become
my enemy in the instant that i preach my pathway led by confusion boats
mutiny from stern to bow ah, but i was so much older then, i'm younger
than that now ah, but i was so much older then, i'm younger than that now
yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats too noble to neglect deceived
me into thinking i had something to protect good and bad, i define these
terms quite clear, no doubt, somehow ah, but i was so much older then,
i'm younger than that now ah, but i was so much older then, i'm younger
than that now ah, but i was so much older then, i'm younger than that now
