Well it's a strange choice to come to the middle of England.
Yes, strange city right in the middle of England.
Strange people, strange ways.
A strange customs, strange days in the middle of England.
Well you must be quite strange too.
Well you must be one of those dudes
That seize opportunities when they appear
Welcome to the strange things we do here.
'cause we are strange, strange, strange, strange, strange
And I see you everyday from near and afar
And I believe you when you say you'd rather be where you are
'cause you're a strange person-strange like a human being
A strange life this is, a strange thing to be..
'cause we are strange, strange, strange, strange, strange
Yes we are strange, strange, strange, strange, strange
And didn't it occur to you
of the many things to do
That it's strange for you to choose
Sitting here in solitude?

In at the Deep End

You gotta go out tonight you gotta get out
you gotta get on the bus and you gotta flaunt it about
and at the end of the evening
you gotta get up and do your thing
you gotta get on the stage and
you gotta sing
you gotta sing
you gotta sing.
You got the reasons and I got the fear
you got us here safely so I get up here?
you gotta acknowledge
haven't got to at all
but heaven is waiting
while you slip and you stall
you stall
you stall.
It's easy to say that while you're drinking your beer
Complacently, impatiently, I'm not really here
I said I need an answer, but I didn't get one then
I think I'm falling apart but you say I'm on the mend
I'm on the mend
I'm on the mend
I'm waiting by the side of the pool and the water's so clean so inviting.
Let's just say you were right and I got it completely wrong
But it's amenable to changes, it's only a song
But one that goes a little bit, well a little bit like this
It's saying this is not a circle but a spiral towards bliss
(and I'd like to thank you
so hear this)

Just a Little Bit

And as the afternoon draws closer to the evening
and we find that our words become a little more clear
And maybe once we've had that final conversation
We will be convinced that at last we've left
Just a little bit of ourselves here..
It's not the end - it's really not the beginning
Of another life though I recognise that the seeds have been sown
We're going on with this song that we've been singing
In another key, another melody
There's just a little bit left of our own.
It doesn't matter much that this has finished,
'cause it had to go, it ceases, just like everything does
But as it's drawing to a close now there is joy if we disclose now
That we're just a little bit sad that it must.

Meeting you was watching the sun go down and the moon rise
Habibi
Habibi
When's it gonna happen?
Habibi
Habibi.
'cause every single night and every single day
I'm alone in my soul and I just pray
Habibi
Habibi
Habibi, come on back to me.

Everything's coming or going
(to be recited over chords)
We are the music makers
And we are the dreamers of dreams,
Wandering by lone sea-breakers,
And sitting by desolate streams;
World losers and world forsakers
On whom the pale moon gleams,
Yet we are the movers and shakers
Of the world forever it seems.
With wonderful deathless ditties
We build up the worlds great cities
And out of a fabulous story
We fashion an Empire’s glory.
One man with a dream at leisure
Can go forth and conquer a crown
And three with a new song’s measure
Can trample a kingdom down.
We in the ages lying
In the buried past of the earth
Built Ninevah with our sighing
And Babel itself of our mirth.
And oe’rthrew them with prophesying
To the old of the new world’s worth.
For each age is a dream that is dying
Or one that is coming to birth.
O 'Shaughnessy
VERSE/CHORUS repeat as required..
Open up your eyes
Be real to the surprise
'cause everything's coming or going
Yes everything's coming or going (x2)
You and me we've got a lot to learn (x2)
You and me and humanity
Welcome to the story 'cause that's what's going on
I've never seen much sanity
But if we're not falling apart we must be
falling together.
