[Intro]
Oi!

[Verse 1]
I fucked up
I'm not the first to do it
Must forgo now, your smile
Off the wall, beige
I'm fixtures and fittings now
Call me out, but call me

[Chorus]
'Cause there's something down here
And it's livin' under the floorboards (Ah)
It's grabbed me 'round the neck
With its long and slender claws
Ooh, don't leave me here, baby
Don't leave me completely
'Cause I might not get back to myself at all

[Post-Chorus]
Ah, oh, ah-ooh
Ah

[Verse 2]
St. Charles Square
This year's migration
Basement flat with window bars
Pauli's outside
Spare me the gloaters and the pain
I don't want it anymore

[Chorus]
'Cause there's something down here
And it's living under the floorboards
It's up and down the clock
Of the town hall back in time
Oh, I'll ride with you, baby
I'll ride with you forever
But we might not get back to ourselves at all, no

[Bridge]
Tesco disco
The room is shrinking fast around me
It grabbed me by the ankle and pulled me under
Loneliness, I've been here before
'Cause every generation has its gilded posers

[Outro]
Weird vibrations in the basement
I don't like this scene
Pauli's ghost come back to haunt me
Think I'm gonna

[Verse 1]
You're taking the fun out of everything
You're making me run when I don't want to think
You're taking the fun out of everything
I don't want to think at all

[Chorus]
There's no other way, there's no other way
All that you can do is watch them play

[Verse 2]
You're taking the fun out of everything
You're making it clear when I don't want to think
You're taking me up when I don't want to go up anymore
I'm just watching it all

[Chorus]
There's no other way, there's no other way
All that you can do is watch them play
There's no other way, there's no other way
All that you can do is watch them play

[Bridge]
I'll watch you play
I'll watch you play

[Chorus]
There's no other way, there's no other way
All that you can do is watch them play
There's no other way, there's no other way
All that you can do is watch them play
There's no other way, there's no other way
All that you can do is watch them play
There's no other way, there's no other way
All that you can do is watch them play

[Verse 1]
A fervid image of another world
Is nothing in particular now
And imitation comes naturally
But I never really stopped to think how
And everyone is a clever clone
A chrome-covered clone am I
So in the absence of a way of life
Just repeat this again and again and again

[Chorus]
Hey, hey, come out tonight
Hey, hey, come out tonight
Popscene!
Alright

[Verse 2]
I'm leaving town to run away
Run into your twisted arms
No queues and there's no panic there
Just dangle your feet in the grass
My lack of natural lustre now
Seems to be losing me friends
So in the absence of a way of life
I'll repeat this again and again and again

[Chorus]
Hey, hey, come out tonight
Hey, hey, come out tonight
Popscene!

[Instrumental break]

[Chorus]
Hey, hey, come out tonight
Hey, hey, come out tonight
Popscene!
Alright
Hey, hey, come out tonight
Hey, hey, come out tonight
Popscene!

[Verse 1]
(Tracy Jacks) Works in civil service
(Tracy Jacks) It's steady employment
(Tracy Jacks) Is a golfing fanatic
(Tracy Jacks) But his putt is erratic
(Tracy Jacks) Saw a Harley Street doctor
(Tracy Jacks) Who prescribed healthy living
(Tracy Jacks) But he's getting past forty
(Tracy Jacks) And all the seams are splitting

[Chorus]
Every day he got closer
He knew in his heart he was over
"I'd love to stay here and be normal
But it's just so overrated"

[Verse 2]
(Tracy Jacks) Left home without warning
(Tracy Jacks) At five in the morning
(Tracy Jacks) Got on the first train to Walton
(Tracy Jacks) And stood on the seafront laughing
(Tracy Jacks) Threw his clothes in the water
(Tracy Jacks) And ran around naked
(Tracy Jacks) Got stopped by the police
(Tracy Jacks) And escorted back home

[Chorus]
Well, every day he got closer
He knew in his heart he was over
"I'd love to stay here and be normal
But that is just so overrated"

[Refrain]
(Tracy Jacks) Woo-ooh, woo-ooh
(Tracy Jacks) Woo-ooh, woo-ooh
(Tracy Jacks) Woo-ooh, woo-ooh
(Tracy Jacks) Woo-ooh, woo-ooh

[Bridge]
And then it happened on a Tuesday morning
Tracy Jacks bulldozed down the house he lived in
Saying it's just so overrated

[Refrain]
(Tracy Jacks) Woo-ooh, woo-ooh
(Tracy Jacks) Woo-ooh, woo-ooh
(Tracy Jacks) Woo-ooh, woo-ooh
(Tracy Jacks) Woo-ooh, woo-ooh

[Chorus]
Every day he got closer
He knew in his heart he was over
"I'd love to stay here and be normal
But it was always overrated"

[Outro]
Woo-ooh, woo-ooh
Woo-ooh, woo-ooh
Woo-ooh, woo-ooh
Woo-ooh, woo-ooh
Woo-ooh, woo-ooh
Woo-ooh, woo-ooh
Woo-ooh, woo-ooh
Woo-ooh, woo-ooh
Woo-ooh, woo-ooh
Woo-ooh, woo-ooh

[Verse 1]
Beetlebum
What you done
She's a gun
Now what you done, beetlebum
Get nothing done
You beetlebum
Just get numb
Now what you done, beetlebum

[Chorus]
And when she lets me slip away
She turns me on and all my violence gone
Nothing is wrong
I just slip away and I am gone
Nothing is wrong
She turns me on
I just slip away and I am gone

[Verse 2]
Beetlebum
Because you're young
She's a gun
Now what you done, beetlebum
She'll suck your thumb
She'll make you cum
'Cause she's your gun
Now what you done, beetlebum

[Chorus]
And when she lets me slip away
She turns me on and all my violence gone
Nothing is wrong
I just slip away and I am gone
There's nothing wrong
She turns me on
I just slip away and I am gone

[Outro]
He's on, he's on, he's on it
He's on, he's on, he's on it
He's on, he's on, he's on it
He's on, he's on, he's on it
He's on, he's on, he's on it
He's on, he's on, he's on it
He's on, he's on, he's on it
He's on, he's on, he's on it

[Verse 1]
I got no style
I take my time
All those losers on the piss again
I doze, doze away
That's just the way it is
That's just the way it is

[Chorus]
I've got trimm trabb
Like the flash boys have
And I can't go back
Let it flow, let it flow
I sleep alone
I sleep alone

[Verse 2]
That's just the way it is
Just the way it is
Just the way it is
Just the way it is
Just the way it is
That's just the way it is

[Chorus]
I've got trimm trabb
Like the flash boys have
And I can't go back
Let it flow, let it flow
I'll sleep alone
I'll sleep alone
I'll sleep alone
I'll sleep alone

[Bridge]
I've got no style
I'll take my time
All those losers on the piss again
I doze, doze away
That's just the way it is
That's just the way it is

[Chorus]
I've got trimm trabb
Like the flash boys have
And I can't go back
Let it flow, let it flow
I'll sleep alone
I'll sleep alone
I'll sleep alone
I'll sleep alone

[Verse 1]
Practice doesn't make perfect when you're interbreeding
Speaking drivel, can it get confused with heavy breathing
Mixing drinks at water holes get snarled up in the suburbs
Meandering through this and that, you're suspected of vagueness

[Chorus]
When work is done, go to Villa Rosie every night
So tasty
Go form a queue at Villa Rosie every night
So tasty

[Verse 2]
Across the common every day, you come across the fine line
But wearing boots can prevent the leeches in the long grass
Eating between meals stifles the appetite, is it healthy
Coming home, that nagging doubt there in your belly

[Chorus]
And all the while at Villa Rosie every night
You're tasty
A sweeter life at Villa Rosie every night
So taste

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
All losers come to Villa Rosie every night
They're waiting
So form a queue at Villa Rosie every night
So tasty
Don't break your own back at Villa Rosie every night
We're tasting
A sweeter life at Villa Rosie every night
So tasty

[Verse 1]
The suburbs, they are dreaming, they're a twinkle in her eye
She’s been feeling frisky since her husband said goodbye
She wears a low cut T-shirt, runs a little B&B
She's most accommodating when she's in her lingerie

[Pre-Chorus]
Wife-swapping is your future
You know that it would suit ya

[Chorus]
Yes, they’re stereotypes, there must be more to life
All your life you're dreaming and then you stop dreaming
From time to time, you know
You should be going on another bender

[Verse 2]
The suburbs, they are sleeping, but he's dressing up tonight
She likes a man in uniform, he likes to wear it tight
They're on the lovers' sofa, they're on the patio
And when the fun is over, watch themselves on video

[Pre-Chorus]
The neighbours may be staring
But they are just past caring

[Chorus]
Yes, they're stereotypes, there must be more to life
All your life you're dreaming and then you stop dreaming
From time to time, you know
You’re going on another bender
Yes, there must be more to life than stereotypes

[Instrumental Break]

[Pre-Chorus]
Wife-swapping is your future
You know that it would suit ya

[Chorus]
Yes, they’re stereotypes, there must be more to life
All your life you're dreaming and then you stop dreaming
From time to time, you know
You should be going on another bender
Yes, there must be more to life than stereotypes
All your life you’re dreaming and then you stop dreaming
From time to time, you know
You should go on another bender
Before you come to offend her

[Verse 1]
Where's the love song to set us free
Too many people down
Everything turning the wrong way 'round
And I don't know what love would be
But if we stop dreaming now
Lord knows we'd never clear the clouds

[Chorus]
And you've been so busy lately
That you haven't found the time
To open up your mind
And watch the world spinning
Gently out of time

[Verse 2]
Feel the sunshine on your face
It's in a computer now
Gone to the future way out in space

[Chorus]
And you've been so busy lately
That you haven't found the time
To open up your mind
And watch the world spinning
Gently out of time

[Instrumental bridge]

[Chorus]
And you've been so busy lately
That you haven't found the time
To open up your mind
And watch the world spinning
Gently out of time
Tell me I'm not dreaming
But are we out of time

[Outro]
We're out of time
Out of time
Out of time
Out of time
Out of time

[Verse 1]
Do you feel like a chainstore
Practically floored
One of many zeros
Kicked around, bored
Your ears are full but you're empty
Holding out your heart
To people who never really
Care how you are

[Chorus]
So give me coffee and TV
Easily
I've seen so much, I'm going blind
And I'm brain-dead, virtually
Sociability
It's hard enough for me
Take me away from this big, bad world
And agree to marry me
So we can start over again

[Verse 2]
Do you go to the country
It isn't very far
There's people there who will hurt you
Because of who you are
Your ears are full of the language
There's wisdom there, you're sure
Until the words start slurring
And you can't find the door

[Chorus]
So give me coffee and TV
Easily
I've seen so much, I'm going blind
And I'm brain-dead, virtually
Sociability
It's hard enough for me
Take me away from this big, bad world
And agree to marry me
So we can start over again

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]
So give me coffee and TV
Easily
I've seen so much, I'm going blind
And I'm brain-dead, virtually
Sociability
It's hard enough for me
Take me away from this big, bad world
And agree to marry me
So we can start over again

[Outro]
Oh, we could start over again
Oh, we could start over again
Oh, we could start over again
Oh, we could start over again

[Verse 1]
There were blue skies in my city today
Everything was sinking, said snow would come on Sunday
The old school was due and the traffic grew
Upon the Westway
Where I stood watching comets' lonesome trails
Shining up above me, the jet fuel, it fell
Down to earth where the money always comes first
And the sirens sing

[Verse 2]
Bring us the day they switch off the machines
'Cause men in yellow jackets putting adverts inside my dreams
An automated song and the whole world gone
Fallen under the spell of the distance
Between us when we communicate
Still picking up shortwave, somewhere they're out in space
It depends how you're wired when the night's on fire
Under the Westway

[Verse 3]
Now it's magic arrows hitting the bull
Doing one-eighty, still standing at last call
When the flag's coming down
And the Last Post sounds just like a love song
For the way I feel about you
Paradise not lost, it's in you
On a permanent basis, I apologise
But I am going to sing

[Outro]
Hallelujah
Sing it out loud and sing it to ya
Am I lost out at sea
'Til a tide wash me up off the Westway

[Verse 1]
She says there's ants in the carpet, dirty little monsters
Eatin' all the morsels, pickin' up the rubbish
Give her effervescence, she needs a little sparkle
Good morning TV, you're looking so healthy

[Chorus]
We all say, don't want to be alone
We wear the same clothes 'cause we feel the same
We kiss with dry lips when we say goodnight
End of a century, oh, it's nothing special

[Verse 2]
Sex on the TV, everybody's at it
The mind gets dirty as you get closer to thirty
He gives her a cuddle, they're glowin' in a huddle
Goodnight TV, you're all made up and you're lookin' like me

[Chorus]
We all say, don't want to be alone
We wear the same clothes 'cause we feel the same
We kiss with dry lips when we say goodnight
End of a century, oh, it's nothing special

[Bridge]
Can you eat her
Yes, you can

[Chorus]
We all say, don't want to be alone
We wear the same clothes 'cause we feel the same
We kiss with dry lips when we say goodnight
End of a century, oh, it's nothing special
We all say, don't want to be alone
We wear the same clothes 'cause we feel the same
We kiss with dry lips when we say goodnight
End of a century, oh, it's nothing special, oh
End of a century, oh, it's nothing special

[Verse 1]
Sunday, Sunday, here again in tidy attire
You read the colour supplement, the TV guide
You dream of protein on a plate
Regret you left it quite so late
To gather the family around the table
To eat enough to sleep
Oh, the Sunday sleep

[Verse 2]
Sunday, Sunday, here again, a walk in the park
You meet an old soldier and talk of the past
He fought for us in two World Wars
Says the England he knew is now no more
He sings the Songs of Praise every week
But always falls asleep
For the Sunday sleep, but he knows what he knows

[Bridge]
Sunday, Sunday
La-la, la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la, la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la, la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la, la-la, la-la
Oh, the Sunday sleep

[Instrumental break]

[Verse 3]
Sunday, Sunday, here again in tidy attire
You read the colour supplement, the TV guide
You dream of protein on a plate
Regret you left it quite so late
To gather the family around the table
To eat enough to sleep
And Mother's pride's your epithet
That extra slice you'll soon regret
So going out is your best bet
Then bingo yourself to sleep
Oh, that Sunday sleep

[Intro]
So the story begins

[Verse 1]
City dweller, successful fella
Thought to himself, "Oops, I've got a lot of money" (Lot of money)
Caught in a rat race, terminally
I'm a professional cynic but my heart's not in it
I'm paying the price of living life at the limit (To the limit)
Caught up in the century's anxiety
Yes, it preys on him (Preys on him)
He's getting thin (Getting thin)
Try the simple life

[Chorus]
He lives in a house
A very big house in the country
Watching afternoon repeats
And the food he eats in the country
He takes all manner of pills
And piles up analyst bills in the country
Oh, it's like an animal farm
That's the rural charm in the country

[Verse 2]
He's got morning glory and life's a different story
Everything's going Jackanory (Jackanory)
Touched with his own mortality
He's reading Balzac and knocking back Prozac
It's a helping hand that makes you feel wonderfully bland
(Close your eyes, try it)
Oh, it's a century's remedy
For the faint at heart (Faint at heart)
A new start (New start)
Try the simple life

[Chorus]
He lives in a house
A very big house in the country
(Blow, blow me out, I am so sad, I don't know why)
He's got a fog in his chest
So he needs a lot of rest in the country
He doesn't drink, smoke, laugh
Takes herbal baths in the country
(Blow, blow me out, I am so sad, I don't know why)
But you'll come to no harm
On the animal farm in the country
In the country, in the country, in the country

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Bridge]
Blow, blow me out, I am so sad, I don't know why
Blow, blow me out, I am so sad, I don't know why

[Chorus]
Oh, he lives in a house
A very big house in the country
(Blow, blow me out, I am so sad, I don't know why)
Watching afternoon repeats
And the food he eats in the country
He takes all manner of pills
And piles up analyst bills in the country
(Blow, blow me out, I am so sad, I don't know why)
Oh, it's like an animal farm
That's the rural charm in the country
Oh, he lives in a house
A very big house in the country
(Blow, blow me out, I am so sad, I don't know why)
He's got a fog in his chest
So he needs a lot of rest in the country
He doesn't drink, smoke, laugh
Takes herbal baths in the country
(Blow, blow me out, I am so sad, I don't know why)
But you'll come to no harm
On the animal farm in the country

[Outro]
Who's that? La-la
I wanna be, I wanna be

[Intro: Phil Daniels]
Oy

[Verse 1: Phil Daniels & Graham Coxon]
Confidence is a preference for the habitual voyeur of what is known as (Parklife)
And morning soup can be avoided if you take a route straight through what is known as (Parklife)
John's got brewer's droop, he gets intimidated by the dirty pigeons, they love a bit of him (Parklife)
Who's that gut lord marching? You should cut down on your porklife mate, get some exercise

[Chorus: Damon Albarn & Phil Daniels]
All the people
So many people
And they all go hand in hand
Hand in hand through their parklife
You know what I mean
I know what you mean, Phil, I really do
Tonight, I really know what you mean

[Verse 2: Phil Daniels & Graham Coxon]
I get up when I want, except on Wednesdays when I get rudely awakened by the dustmen (Parklife)
I put my trousers on, have a cup of tea and I think about leaving me house (Parklife)
I feed the pigeons, I sometimes feed the sparrows too, it gives me a sense of enormous wellbeing (Parklife)
And then I'm happy for the rest of the day, safe in the knowledge there will always be a bit of my heart devoted to it

[Chorus: Damon Albarn]
All the people
So many people
And they all go hand in hand
Hand in hand through their parklife

[Verse 3: Damon Albarn, Phil Daniels, & Graham Coxon]
You know, for anyone who likes cinema
Parklife (Parklife)
Phil was in one of the best films ever called, "Meantime"
Parklife (Parklife)
It's got nothing to do with your Vorsprung durch Technik, you know
I do
Parklife (Parklife)
And it ain't about you joggers who go 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round
Parklife (Parklife)

[Chorus: Damon Albarn]
All the people
So many people
And they all go hand in hand
Hand in hand through their parklife
All the people (You sing it)
So many people
And they all go hand in hand
Hand in hand through their parklife

[Outro: Phil Daniels, Graham Coxon, & Damon Albarn]
Oy
Wait, I wanna get back in my little hut
Go back to where you belong
Oh, I can relax now
What happened? What happened
What just happened
I don't know, I was gonna
Stop that, stop that, stop that, stop that, stop that, stop that, stop that
It's a very fair point, what happened
When I met you when you were twelve and I was thirteen
Yeah
It's a long time, you know what I mean
It's like, imagine that, we're at school, and we're here now
It's mad for us, it really is

[Verse 1]
All those dirty words
They make us look so dumb
Been drinking far too much
And neither of us mean what we say

[Chorus]
Well, you and I collapsed in love
And it looks like we might have made it
Yes, it looks like we've made it to the end

[Verse 2]
What happened to us
Soon it will be gone forever
Infatuated only with ourselves
And neither of us can think straight any more

[Chorus]
Well, you and I collapsed in love
And it looks like we might have made it
Yes, it looks like we've made it to the end
When you and I collapsed in love
Well, it looks like we might have made it
Yes, it looks like we've made it to the end

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
You and I, we just collapsed in love
And it looks like we might have made it
Yes, it looks like we've made it to the end

[Verse 1]
Lead in me and me in water
Dangling in my world
I swallowed too much oily water
Now it's slipping down my spine
In a sense of self in decline
Growing fat on sound
It's only an early morning dream
And the whole world will be alright

[Verse 2]
My head hurts with suspicion
I'm coming home sometime
I've swallowed too much oily water
It's slipping down my spine
A sense of self in decline
I'm lying on my back
It's only an early morning dream
And the whole world will be alright

[Intro]
Food processors are great!

[Verse 1]
It's six o’clock on the dot and I'm halfway home
I feel foul-mouthed as I stand and wait for the Underground
And a nervous disposition doesn't agree with this
I need something to remind me that there is something else

[Chorus]
You need a holiday somewhere in the sun
With all the people who are waiting, there never seems to be one
Say something, say something else
Say something, say something else

[Verse 2]
Advertisements are here for rapid persuasion
If you stare too long, you lose your appetite
And a nervous disposition doesn’t agree with this
You need fast relief from aches and stomach pains

[Chorus]
I need a holiday somewhere in the sun
With all the people who are waiting, there never seems to be one
Say something, say something else
Say something, say something else

[Bridge]
One, two, three, four
Five, six, seven, eight
Nine, ten, eleven, twelve
Thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen
(You can have a holiday in the sun, yes
Ladies and gentlemen, one week only, on special offer)

[Chorus]
You need a holiday somewhere in the sun
With all the people who are waiting, there never seems to be one
Say something, say something else
Go on, say something, say something else
Say something, say something else
Say something, say something else

[Intro]
Woo-hoo
Woo-hoo
Woo-hoo
Woo-hoo

[Verse 1]
I got my head checked
By a jumbo jet
It wasn't easy
But nothing is, no

[Chorus]
(Woo-hoo) When I feel heavy metal
(Woo-hoo) And I'm pins and I'm needles
(Woo-hoo) Well, I lie and I'm easy
All of the time, but I'm never sure why I need you
Pleased to meet you

[Verse 2]
I got my head done
When I was young
It's not my problem
It's not my problem

[Chorus]
(Woo-hoo) When I feel heavy metal
(Woo-hoo) And I'm pins and I'm needles
(Woo-hoo) Well, I lie and I'm easy
All of the time, but I'm never sure why I need you
Pleased to meet you

[Outro]
Yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah
Oh, yeah

[Verse 1]
And into the sea
Goes pretty England and me
Around the Bay of Biscay
And back for tea
Hit traffic on the Dogger Bank
Up the Thames to find a taxi rank
Sail on by with the tide
And go to sleep
(And the radio says)

[Chorus]
This is a low
But it won't hurt you
When you're alone
It will be there with you
Findin' ways to stay solo

[Verse 2]
Up the Tyne, Forth and Cromarty
There's a low in the high forties
Saturday's locked away on the pier
Not fast enough, dear
And on the Malin Head
Blackpool looks blue and red
And the Queen, she's gone 'round the bend
Jumped off Land's End
(And the radio says)

[Chorus]
This is a low
But it won't hurt you
When you're alone
It will be there with you
Findin' ways to stay solo

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]
This is a low
But it won't hurt you
When you're alone
It will be there with you
This is a low
But it won't hurt you
When you're alone
It will be there with you
Findin' ways to stay solo

[Verse 1]
Streets like a jungle
So call the police
Following the herd
Down to Greece
On holiday
Love in the '90s
Is paranoid
On sunny beaches
Take your chances
Looking for

[Chorus]
Girls who are boys who like boys to be girls
Who do boys like they're girls, who do girls like they're boys
Always should be someone you really love
Girls who are boys who like boys to be girls
Who do boys like they're girls, who do girls like they're boys
Always should be someone you really love

[Verse 2]
Avoiding all work
'Cause there's none available
Like battery thinkers
Count your thoughts
On one, two, three, four, five fingers
Nothing is wasted
Only reproduced
You get nasty blisters
Du bist sehr schön
But we haven't been introduced

[Chorus]
Girls who are boys who like boys to be girls
Who do boys like they're girls, who do girls like they're boys
Always should be someone you really love
Girls who are boys who like boys to be girls
Who do boys like they're girls, who do girls like they're boys
Always should be someone to really love
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh

[Chorus]
Looking for girls who are boys who like boys to be girls
Who do boys like they're girls, who do girls like they're boys
Always should be someone you really love
Girls who are boys who like boys to be girls
Who do boys like they're girls, who do girls like they're boys
Always should be someone you really love
Girls who are boys who like boys to be girls
Who do boys like they're girls, who do girls like they're boys
Always should be someone you really love
Girls who are boys who like boys to be girls
Who do boys like they're girls, who do girls like they're boys
Always should be someone to really love
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh

[Verse 1]
He's a twentieth century boy
With his hands on the rails
Trying not to be sick again
And holding on for tomorrow
London ice cracks on a seamless line
He's hanging on for dear life
And so we hold each other tightly
And hold on for tomorrow, singing

[Chorus]
La, la, la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la
La, la, la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la
La, la, la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la
Holding on for tomorrow (-row-row-row-row)

[Verse 2]
She's a twentieth century girl
With her hands on the wheel
Trying not to make him sick again
Seeing what she can borrow
London's so nice back in your seamless rhymes
But we're lost on the Westway
And so we hold each other tightly
And we can wait until tomorrow, singing

[Chorus]
La, la, la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la
La, la, la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la
La, la, la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la
Holding on for tomorrow (-row-row-row-row)

[Verse 3]
We're trying not to be sick again
And holding on for tomorrow
She's a twentieth century girl
Holding on for dear life
And so we hold each other tightly
And hold on for tomorrow, singing

[Chorus]
La, la, la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la
La, la, la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la
La, la, la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la
Holding on for tomorrow (-row-row)

[Chorus]
Jim stops and gets out the car
Goes to a house in Emperor's Gate
Through the door and to his room
Then he puts the TV on
Turns it off and makes some tea
Says, "Modern life, well, it's rubbish"
I'm holding on for tomorrow (-row-row)
Then Susan comes into the room
She's a naughty girl with a lovely smile
Says, "Let's take a drive to Primrose Hill"
It's windy there and the view's so nice
London ice can freeze your toes
Like anyone, I suppose you're
Holding on for tomorrow, oh-ho

[Verse 1: Damon Albarn]
Tender is the night
Lying by your side
Tender is the touch
Of someone that you love too much
Tender is the day
The demons go away
Lord, I need to find
Someone who can heal my mind

[Chorus: Damon Albarn]
Come on, come on, come on
Get through it
Come on, come on, come on
Love's the greatest thing
Come on, come on, come on
Get through it
Come on, come on, come on
Love's the greatest thing
That we have
I'm waiting for that feeling
I'm waiting for that feeling
Waiting for that feeling to come

[Post-Chorus: Graham Coxon]
Oh, my baby
Oh, my baby
Oh, why
Oh, my
Oh, my baby
Oh, my baby
Oh, why
Oh, my

[Verse 2: Damon Albarn]
Tender is the ghost
The ghost I love the most
Hiding from the sun
Waiting for the night to come
Tender is my heart
I'm screwing up my life
Lord, I need to find
Someone who can heal my mind

[Chorus: Damon Albarn]
Come on, come on, come on
Get through it
Come on, come on, come on
Love's the greatest thing
Come on, come on, come on
Get through it
Come on, come on, come on
Love's the greatest thing
That we have
I'm waiting for that feeling
I'm waiting for that feeling
Waiting for that feeling to come

[Post-Chorus: Graham Coxon]
Oh, my baby
Oh, my baby
Oh, why
Oh, my
Oh, my baby
Oh, my baby
Oh, why
Oh, my

[Chorus: Damon Albarn]
Come on, come on, come on
Get through it
Come on, come on, come on
Love's the greatest thing
Come on, come on, come on
Get through it
Come on, come on, come on
Love's the greatest thing
That we have
I'm waiting for that feeling
I'm waiting for that feeling
Waiting for that feeling to come

[Post-Chorus: Graham Coxon]
Oh, my baby
Oh, my baby
Oh, why
Oh, my
Oh, my baby
Oh, my baby
Oh, why
Oh, my

[Verse 3: Damon Albarn]
Tender is the night
Lying by your side
Tender is the touch
Of someone that you love too much
Tender is my heart, you know
I'm screwing up my life
Oh, Lord, I need to find
Someone who can heal my mind

[Chorus: Damon Albarn]
Come on, come on, come on
Get through it
Come on, come on, come on
Love's the greatest thing
Come on, come on, come on
Get through it
Come on, come on, come on
Love's the greatest thing
That we have
I'm waiting for that feeling
I'm waiting for that feeling
Waiting for that feeling to come

[Verse 1]
Looked in the mirror
So many people standing there
I walked towards them
Into the floodlights
I heard no echo (No echo)
There was distortion everywhere (Everywhere)
I found my ego (My ego)
I felt rubato standing there
Found my Transcendent (Transcendent)
It played in mono painted blue (Painted blue)
You were the Pierrot (The Pierrot)
I was the dark room (The dark room)

[Chorus]
I'ma shine a light in your eyes (In your eyes)
You'll probably shine it back on me
But I won't fall this time
With Godspeed, I'll heed the signs

[Verse 2]
I saw the solstice (The solstice)
The service station on the road (On the road)
I took the acid (The acid)
Under the white horses (Down the road)
My heart, it quickened (It quickened)
I could not tear myself away (Myself away)
Became addiction (Addiction)
If you see darkness, look away (Look away)

[Chorus]
I'ma shine a light in your eyes (Look away, look away)
You'll probably shine it back on me (Look away)
Yet I won't fall this time
With Godspeed, I'll heed the signs

[Verse 3]
Oh, glorious world (Glorious)
Oh, potent waves valleys gone wild (Potent waves)
Connect us to love (Us to love)
And keep us peaceful for a while (For a while)

[Chorus]
I'ma shine a light in your eyes (For a while, for a while)
You'll probably shine it back on me (For a while)
But I won't fall this time
With Godspeed, I'll heed the signs (In your eyes)
I'ma shine a light in your eyes (In your eyes, in your eyes)
You'll probably shine it back on me (In your eyes)
But I won't fall this time
With Godspeed, I'll heed the signs
I won't fall this time
With Godspeed, I'll heed the signs

[Verse 1]
This is the next century
Where the universal's free
You can find it anywhere
Yes, the future has been sold
Every night we're gone
And to karaoke songs
How we like to sing along
Though the words are wrong

[Chorus]
It really, really, really could happen
Yes, it really, really, really could happen
When the days, they seem to fall through you
Well, just let them go

[Verse 2]
No one here is alone
Satellites in every home
Yes, the universal's here
Here for everyone
Every paper that you read
Says tomorrow's your lucky day
Well, here's your lucky day

[Chorus]
It really, really, really could happen
Yes, it really, really, really could happen
If the days, they seem to fall through you
Well, just let them go
Well, it really, really, really could happen
Yes, it really, really, really could happen
When the days they seem to fall through you
Well, just let them go

[Outro]
Just let them go
Just let them go
