Couldn't sleep last night
With the next day buzzing in my ears
Trouble funked my brain
Played with all my fears
I haven't had this much fun in years
You can sing, but you can not act
Oh, you can not act
It's a matter of fact
Think you can dance, but you're bad at that
Oh so bad at that
It's a matter of fact
It's the mother of all intention
The father you never knew
In your little room
Locked up all these years
Everything you ever thought impossible
Is possible
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You can sing, but you can not act
Oh, you can not act
It's a matter of fact
Think you can dance, but you're bad at that
Oh so bad at that
It's a matter of fact
Sing, sing, sing - sing louder now
Sing, sing, sing - sing louder now
Sing, sing, sing - sing louder now
Sing, sing, sing - sing louder now
Sing, sing, sing - sing louder now
Sing, sing, sing - a-sing a-you, you, you
You can sing, but you can not act
Oh, you can not act
It's a matter of fact
Think you can dance, but you're oh bad at that
Oh but it don't matter if you're bad at that
Cos you can smile

Feel the Breeze

Hookers with hobbies are home for the weekend
Powdering noses for hobbledy horses
Straight jacket perversions for bent politicians
It's all in a days work for the night apparitions
Lightning bolt flashes alarming the masses
Reflect in the faces of those painted ladies
Escaping in carriages whilst wiping their faces
From the shame they acrued from all their disgraces
Oh, feel the breeze
Feel the breeze
Rocking horse children have no one to rely on
As ladies in dresses spend a day at the races
Watching pirates protest being put through their paces
& secretly wish they could all takes their places
There's a war in the sky 'tween the thunder and the rain
And the elements fight till the end of the day
And they're both just like actors, trying to get laid
In their own sweet, fucked up way
Oh darling, feel the breeze
Oh feel the breeze
Sometimes we says things, we don't always mean things
And sometimes it seems we only say mean things
Get carried away at the edge of extreme things
Breaking down chairs, and shouting and screaming
As we run over rooftops away from the madness
Of crowded up coffee shops, aggressively hounded
By sounds in surround, like a coat made of foxes
It feels so luxurious and totally toxic
And sometimes you're in love
sometimes you're with love
sometimes you give love
sometimes you hate love
Sometimes you take love
And sometimes you make love
Sometimes you fake love
But it's totally great, love
Oh feel the breeze
Oh darling, feel the breeze
There's a sun in the sky, as the rain washes down on you
They spit in your eye, and they kick you to the ground
As they leave you to die, and you're lost, but you've found
That you're breathing alive, as you fight to survive it all
Oh
Oh
Feel the breeze

Cowboy's Lament

Oh well you found me in a bar on 109th
When my head was filled with gin
Your pin striped suit and your pick up line
About a beer just pulled me in
I looked in your direction
And I thought I'd found redemption
It was just a trick of the light
After a couple of beers of boozing
And a couple of rounds of losing
It ended up being just another one of those same old lonely nights
Why does it always take so long to say goodbye
And I'm creeping out of here by the old, oak door
No more long goodbyes
Oh this time, no reason why
You'll be waking in the bedroom
And I'll be gone
Oh well, I'm riding down the highway
Where the arrows point out for me
To where the angels all are living out the dream
That's when we moved in together
Thinking things would soon get better
But the discord start screaching
And the bottle started preaching
Taking my bereaving
To another lonely time and space
Oh yeah
Why does it always take so long to say goodbye
Now I'm creeping out of here by the old, oak door
No more long goodbyes
Oh, this time no reason why
You'll be waiting at the window
And I'll be gone
Why does it always take so long to say goodbye
Why does it always take so long to say goodbye
Why does it always take so long to say goodbye
Why does it always take so long to say goodbye
Now I'll be gone

You've got to take it when it's all over
You get the freeze out with the cold, cold shoulder
It leaves your mouth a-hanging
It leaves your trousers flapping
And you've been winded like a-never before
You've got to take it when it's all over
Hit on the chin, and now you're stone cold sober
It leaves your tongue a-twanging
It leaves your heart a-banging
A hit & run, you're spread all over the floor, wo wo wo
Ooh la la la la
Ooh la la la la
Ooh la la la la
Ooh la la la la
Two thousand men
They couldn't glue you together again
Ever again
Oh, left out in the rain
Don't feel so clever again - no no no
Can't believe it when it's all over
You're getting dumped on like an ice cold shower
It leaves your ears a-ringing
It leaves you jaw a-dangling
And you've been winded like a-never before
Ooh la la la la
Ooh la la la la
Ooh la la la la
Ooh la la la
You took your meds
Went back to bed
And even your dog is hanging his head
Yanking his chain
Going insane
Cos I'd do the same, yeah
