Everyone's Got a Voice

If you feel like singing, and you want to rejoice
Close your eyes and open your mouth
Everyone's Got a Voice.
If you feel like singing, then you've got no choice
Close your eyes and open your heart
Everyone's Got a Voice.

Don't Change Your Mind

If you ever feel for the first time
That I would ever leave you high and dry,
And if you never feel my love full time
Then I'll endeavour to lift you once again into the sky (oh and baby)
Don't change your mind, don't be unkind
Don't change your mind, don't waste your time.

When the sunshine
Everyone dances and sings and the world turns around,
When the rainbow
Everyone comes out to see.
When the snowman
Everyone packs up their things and the world turns around,
When the window
Everyone will disagree.
地球に乗って回れ

Swimming

I don’t care if it’s sunny or grey
I’m gonna stay here the rest of the day.
And I don’t care if you have to go home
I’m just as happy here on my own.
Bring as many friends as you like
As long as I can have a go on a bike.
But I don’t think I can come up for air,
And I don’t think anyone really cares
When I’m swimming
In a back-yard above-ground pool
When I’m swimming
It’s the best way to be cool.
Don't be scared if it's starting to rain
Underwater there is no pain.
And if the Cramps don't come, their sister will
And everything's good and time stands still.
When I’m swimming
In a back-yard above-ground pool
When I’m swimming
It’s the best way to be cool.
So put your hopes inside a diving bell,
And dive into my wishing well…

Now that we’ve got your attention
There’s something that we want you to hear.
It took us all day to record it
But we’ve been practicing for nearly a year.
I wanted to impress my girlfriend
By writing her into a song
And playing it to her on her birthday,
But I got the day and the month all wrong.
So we’ve got a brand new single baby,
We’ve got a brand new single baby.
We played it at a housewarming party
In fact it was our very first gig
When an A & R guy with a goatee
Said “This song could make you real big”
So they spent twenty thousand dollars
On turning it into a hit
And tarting us up for the cover shot
But we all thought that it sounded and looked like shit
So we’ve got a brand new single baby,
We’ve got a brand new single baby.
We’ll make it somehow

I wouldn't lie to you
No, I wouldn't lie to you
I wouldn't lie to you
I wouldn't lie to you, not on your life.
I wouldn't lie to you
No, I wouldn't lie to you
I wouldn't lie to you
I wouldn't lie to you, but you know that I can.

You're getting letters still from the man on the hill
Says he's got a pill but you know you must ignore him
And after a while he gives you a smile
Take a look at that dial, you hate him and you abhor him
And no-one at all seems to care
There's a strange rotting funk in the air
And you wonder how anyone there
Can believe anything that they see.
CH: A million feet keep the beat (Don’t believe the politician)
And now we live in different times (Don’t believe the television)
History doesn’t always repeat (Don’t be fooled by superstition)
But sometimes we can hear the rhymes. (Damn the Minute, and Curse the Hour!)
And it ain't no joke when you're starting to choke
And you don't even smoke and still they just evade you
'Til a smoke screen comes or a smoking gun
Designed to distract, divert, beguile and persuade you.
But I’ll live ’til I draw my last breath
And I’m living myself to death.
And you wonder how anyone here
Can believe anything that they hear.
CH: A million feet keep the beat (Don’t believe the politician)
And now we live in different times (Don’t believe the television)
History doesn’t always repeat (Don’t be fooled by superstition)
But sometimes we can hear the rhymes. (Damn the Minute, and Curse the Hour!)

If I could get up and make the morning last all day,
I wouldn’t go out, and my bed would stay unmade.
Cereal for dinner
If I could sleep in, the night would last a little longer.
I wouldn’t worry, might even feel a little younger.
Today is yesterday’s tomorrow
Here and now is here to stay
Relax and the rest will follow
‘Cause today is tomorrow’s yesterday.

Isn't he a panic?
Isn't he a scream?
Didn't know he had a mind 'till he lost it.
Isn't he a panic?
Isn't he a scream?
Did know what he would find until he got it.

What They Want

Give 'em love
Give 'em money
Give 'em something they've been waiting for.
Give 'em some
Give 'em many
Give 'em everything, they still want more.
That's What They Want

All You Need Is Money
03:25
|

Money’s all you need, forget the blood, the sweat, the tears.
Money’s all you need, don’t even need to have ideas.
When I was young it never mattered
But now all my ideals are shattered
All you need is money and you can buy credibility.
In your company I will always be your faithful partner.
Put your trust in me, I’m a guaranteed return.
But every day as I get older
I feel the weight upon my shoulder
All you need is money and you can buy anything you want.
I used to think that honesty was all that I would need,
But I’d rather have my poverty than someone else’s greed.
But every now and then I wonder
Every day as I go under
All you need is money and you can do anything you want.
But every day as I get older
I feel the weight upon my shoulder
Don’t you think it’s funny, in the land of milk and honey
That all you need is money and you can buy anyone you want.
Tell me how! (Money’s all you need)
Want it now! (Money’s all you need)
Anyhow! (Money’s all you need)
Wow! (Money’s all you need)
Mindanao! (Money’s all you need)

I got the hour, you got the memory.
We got the power, we got the energy.
I got the tower, you got the westerly.
We got the power, we got the energy.
We're planting flowers, and burning effigies.
We got the power, we got the energy.
We're getting louder, that's the big idea.
We got the power, we got the energy.
We've got the power behind us.
We got everything, we got all we need,
We got everything, we got the energy!
I'm a good consumer, with a sense of humour.

A stone-ager, alone and afraid
Searches the sky for friend or foe.
At wi-fi's edge, he wanders forlorn
To lands unknown, into tomorrow.
And he knows it's true.
He's coming through.
He's a stone-ager.
Just a stone-ager.
A lone-ager.
Hey! What happened? Where is everyone?
The last time I was here there was work to be done.
Hey! Where are they? Where did they go?
The last time I was here was a full moon ago.
