Mm ba ba de
Um bum ba de
Um bu ba de de
Pressure, pushing down on me,
Pushing down on you, no man ask for.
Under pressure that brings a building down,
Splits a family in two.
Puts people on streets.
Um ba ba be
Um ba ba be
De day da
Ee day da - that's okay.
It's the terror of knowing what this world is about,
Watching some good friends screaming "let me out!"
Pray tomorrow gets me higher...
Pressure on people people on the streets
Day day de,
Da da da ba ba.
Okay.
Chipping around kick my brains around the floor,
These are the days it never rains but it pours.
Ee do ba be
Ee da ba ba ba
Um bo bo
Be lop
People on the streets, - da da de da de
People on the streets, - ee da de da de da de da
It's the terror of knowing what this world is about,
Hearing some good friends screaming "Let me out!"
Pray tomorrow, gets me higher, higher, high...
Pressure on people, people on the streets.
Turned away from it all like a blind man.
Sat on the fence but it don't work.
Keep coming up with love but its so slashed and torn,
Why-why-why?
Love-love-love-love-love.
Insanity laughs, under pressure we're breaking...
Can't we give ourselves one more chance?
Why can't we give love that one more chance.
Why can't we give love, give love, give love, give love,
Give love, give love, give love, give love, give love,
'Cause loves such an old fashioned word,
And love dares you to care for,
The people on the edge of the night,
And love dares you to change our way of
Caring about ourselves.
This is our last dance,
This is our last dance,
This is ourselves...
Under pressure
Under pressure
Pressure...

She's got a smile that it seems to me,
Reminds me of childhood memories.
Where everything,
Was as fresh as the bright blue sky.
Now and then when I see her face,
She takes me away to that,
special place.
And if I stared too long,
I'd probably break down and cry.
Sweet child o' mine.
Sweet love of mine.
She's got eyes of the bluest skies,
As if they thought of rain.
I hate to look into those eyes,
And see an ounce of pain.
Her hair reminds me,
of a warm safe place,
Where as a child I'd hide,
And pray for the thunder,
And the rain,
To quietly pass me by.
Sweet child o' mine.
Sweet love of mine.
Where do we go,
Where do we go now,
Where do we go,
Sweet child o' mine.

Oh yeah, I'll tell you something,
I think you'll understand.
When I'll say that something,
I wanna hold your hand,
I wanna hold your hand,
I wanna hold your hand.
Oh please, say to me,
You'll let me be your man,
And please, say to me,
You'll let me hold your hand,
I'll let me hold your hand.
I wanna hold your hand.
And when I touch you I feel happy,
Inside.
It's such a feeling that my love,
I can't hide,
I can't hide,
I can't hide.
Yeah, you've got that something,
I think you'll understand,
When I'll say that something,
I wanna hold your hand,
I wanna hold your hand,
I wanna hold your hand.
And when I touch you I feel happy,
Inside.
It's such a feeling that my love,
I can't hide,
I can't hide,
I can't hide.
Yeah, you've got that something,
I think you'll understand.
When I'll feel that something,
I wanna hold your hand.

I'm gonna fight 'em off
A seven nation army couldn't hold me back
They're gonna rip it off
Taking their time right behind my back
And I'm talking to myself at night
Because I can't forget
Back and forth through my mind
Behind a cigarette
And the message coming from my eyes
Says leave it alone
Don't want to hear about it
Every single one's got a story to tell
Everyone knows about it
From the Queen of England to the hounds of hell
And if I catch it coming back my way
I'm gonna serve it to you
And that ain't what you want to hear,
But that's what I'll do
And the feeling coming from my bones
Says find a home
I'm going to Wichita
Far from this opera for evermore
I'm gonna work the straw
Make the sweat drip out of every pore
And I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding
Right before the lord
All the words are gonna bleed from me
And I will think no more
And the stains coming from my blood
Tell me go back home

So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell,
blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have you found? The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

I went to a party at the local county jail.
All the cons were dancing and the band began to wail.
But the guys were indiscreet,
They were brawling in the street,
At the local dance at the local county jail.
Well the band were playing,
And the booze began to flow.
But the sound came over on the police car radio.
Down at Precinct 49,
Having a tear-gas of a time...
Sergeant Baker got a call from the governor of the county jail.
"Load up, load up, load up with rubber bullets"
"Load up, load up, load up with rubber bullets"
I love to hear those convicts squeal,
It's a shame these slugs ain't real,
But we can't have dancin' at the local county jail.
Sergeant Baker and his men made a bee-line for the jail.
And for miles around,
You could hear the sirens wail.
There's a rumor goin' round death row,
That a fuse is gonna blow,
At the local hop at the local county jail.
"Whatcha gonna do about it, whatcha gonna do"
"Whatcha gonna do about it, whatcha gonna do"
Sergeant Baker started talkin'
With a bullhorn in his hand...
He was cool, he was clear,
He was always in command...
He said "Blood will flow;
Here Padre.
Padre you talk to your boys..."
"Trust in me -
God will come to set you free"
Well we don't understand
Why you called in the National Guard,
When Uncle Sam is the one
Who belongs in the exercise yard.
We all got balls and brains,
But some's got balls and chains,
At the local dance at the local county jail.
"Load up, load up, load up with rubber bullets"
"Load up, load up, load up with rubber bullets"
Is it really such a crime,
For a guy to spend his time,
At the local dance at the local county jail.
At the local dance at the local county jail.
"Whatcha gonna do about it, whatcha gonna do"
"Whatcha gonna do about it, whatcha gonna do"

You've got your hair permed
You've got your red dress on
Screamin' bout how second gear was such a turn on
And the fog forming on my window tells me that the morning here
And you'll be gone before too long
Who taught you those new tricks?
Damn I shouldn't start that talk,
but life is one big question when your starin at the clock
And the answers always waiting at the liquor store, 40 oz to Freedom,
so I'll take that walk.
And I know that ohhhh...I'm not comin back
Ohh not going back
God knows not going back
You look so fine when you lie it just don't show,
That I know which way the wind blows
40 oz to freedom is the only chance I have to feel good,
even though I feel bad
And I know that ohhhh...I'm not comin back
Ohh not going back
God knows I'm not going back
God knows I'm not going back

She has a girlfriend now.
She has a girlfriend now.
She has a girlfriend now, she said
"Guys don't do no more for me."
"You never loved me, like I wanted you to"
"I loved you baby, what do you want me to do?"
She said she found someone who's gonna hold her hand.
She said she found someone who's gonna understand.
She don't need nobody to be her man.
She don't need nobody to be her man.
I never thought it would end like this,
Just because i've got no tits,
I'll shave my legs,
I'll wear a bra
I'll even cut my dick,
off for you...
she has a
girlfriend
now.

When I was young it came to me, and I could see the sun breaking,
Lucy was high and so was I dazzling, holding the world inside,
Once I believed in everyone, everyone and anyone can see.
Oh oh the night comes down, and I get afraid of losing my way,
Oh oh the night comes down, Oooh and it's dark again.
Once I could laugh with everyone, once I could see the good in me,
The black and the white distinctively colouring, holding the world inside,
Now all the world is grey to me, nobody can see you gotta believe it.
Oh oh the night comes down, and I get afraid of losing my way,
Oh oh the night comes down, Oooh and it's dark again.
And it's dark again, and it's dark again.

Oh, I could hide beneath the wings
Of the bluebird as she sings.
The six o'clock alarm would never ring.
But it rings and I rise,
Wipe the sleep out of my eyes.
My shaving razor's cold and it stings.
Cheer up, Sleepy Jean.
Oh, what can it mean.
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming queen.
You once thought of me
As a white knight on a steed.
Now you know how happy I can be.
Oh, and our good times start and end
Without dollar one to spend.
But how much, baby, do we really need.
Cheer up, Sleepy Jean.
Oh, what can it mean.
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming queen.
Cheer up, Sleepy Jean.
Oh, what can it mean.
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming queen.
Cheer up, Sleepy Jean.
Oh, what can it mean.
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming queen.

I keep on fallin’
In and out, of love
With you,
Sometimes I love you,
Sometimes you make me blue.
Sometimes I feel good,
At times I feel used.
Lovin you darling,
Makes me so confused.
I keep on Fallin’
In and out, of love,
With you,
I never loved someone,
The way that I'm lovin' you.
Oh, oh , I never felt this way,
How do you give me so much pleasure,
And cause me so much pain.
Just when I think,
I've taken more than would a fool.
I start fallin’ back in love with you.
I keep on Fallin’
In and out, of love
With you.
I never loved someone,
The way that I'm lovin' you
Oh baby
I, I, I, I’m fallin’
I, I, I, I’m fallin’
Fall...
I keep on Fallin’
In and out, of love,
With you.
I never loved someone,
The way that I'm lovin' you
I'm fallin’
In and out, of love,
With you.
I never loved someone,
The way that I'm lovin' you
I'm fallin’
In and out, of love,
With you.
I never loved someone,
The way that I'm lovin' you.
Someone once said this song reminded them of me. Poor, poor girl.

Purple Haze was in my brain,
lately things don't seem the same,
acting funny but I don't know why
'Excuse me while I kiss the sky.
Purple Haze all around,
don't know if I'm coming up or down.
Am I happy or in misery?
Whatever it is, that girl put a spell on me.
Purple Haze was in my eyes,
don't know if it's day or night,
you've got me blowing, blowing my mind,
is it tomorrow or just the end of time?

You're beautiful, that's for sure,
You'll never ever fade,
You're lovely but it's not for sure,
That I won't ever change,
And though my love is rare,
Though my love is true;
I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away,
I don't know where my soul is, I don't know where my home is,
(and baby all I need for you to know is)
I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away,
I don't know where my soul is, I don't know where my home is,
All I need for you to know is;
Your faith in me brings me to tears,
Even after all these years,
And it pains me so much to tell,
That you don't know me that well,
And though my love is rare,
Though my love is true;
I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away,
I don't know where my soul is, I don't know where my home is ,
(and baby all I need for you to know is)
I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away,
I don't know where my soul is, I don't know where my home is,
All I need for you to know is;
It's not that I wanna say goodbye,
It's just that every time you try to tell me that you love me,
Each and every single day I know ,
I'm going to have to eventually give you away,
And though my love is rare,
And though my love is true;
Hey I'm just scared,
That we may fall through.
I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away,
I don't know where my soul is, I don't know where my home is ,
(and baby all I need for you to know is)
I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away,
I don't know where my soul is, I don't know where my home is,
All I need for you to know is...
I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away,
I don't know where my soul is, I don't know where my home is ,
(and baby all I need for you to know is)
I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away,
I don't know where my soul is, I don't know where my home is,
All I need for you to know is......

I swore I wouldn't actually do this, this was supposed to be a pure page, but here goes anyway.
We asked Sim to stay at Bath uni...
But he said no!
All Cotswold was watching and crying,
On the day that he crashed and burned...
At our feet!
We asked Maddi "stay at Bath uni..."
But she said no!
All Cotswold was watching and crying,
On the day that she crashed and burned...
At our feet!
We asked them to stay at Bath uni...
But they said no!
All Cotswold was watching and crying,
On the day that they crashed and burned...
At our feet!
We miss you.

Under no circumstances do I condone this song, but.... This ones for you Matt
You're so fit, and you know it,
And i only dream of you
‘cos my lifes such a bitch
but you can change it
maybe you need somebody just like me,
don't turn me down ‘cos i've got no car and i've got
no money...
I asked you to dance at the disco;
But you said No!
The whole world was watching and laughing
On the day that i crashed and burned...
At your feet!
Since the day you dissed me
I'm feeling so pathetic
‘cos the guys... well they've ditched me

The whole world was watching and laughing
On the day that i crashed and burned...
At your feet.

I Feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door

You say that we've got nothing in common
No common ground to start from
And we're falling apart
You'll say the world has come between us
Our lives have come between us
But I know you just don't care
And I said what about "Breakfast at Tiffany's?
She said, "I think I remember the film,
And as I recall, I think, we both kinda liked it."
And I said, "Well, that's the one thing we've got."
I see you - the only one who knew me
And now your eyes see through me
I guess I was wrong
So what now? It's plain to see we're over,
And I hate when things are over -
When so much is left undone
And I said what about "Breakfast at Tiffany's?
She said, "I think I remember the film,
And as I recall, I think, we both kinda liked it."
And I said, "Well, that's the one thing we've got."
You say that we've got nothing in common
No common ground to start from
And we're falling apart
You'll say the world has come between us
Our lives have come between us
But I know you just don't care
And I said what about "Breakfast at Tiffany's?
She said, "I think I remember the film,
And as I recall, I think, we both kinda liked it."
And I said, "Well, that's the one thing we've got."
