Huckleberry Grove
Where the music plays into tomorrow night
Huckleberry Grove
Only fools would need to argue or fight
Shirley had eight children
and each of them was told
You've got joy for singing
burning in your soul
Huckleberry Grove
Where the idiots can't ease you of your mind
Huckleberry Grove
There's a free train, leave your luggage far behind
Ooh she sings shangri-la
Ooh she sings shangri-la
Shirley was a lady
who mostly stayed at home
But she went out dancing
down Huckleberry Grove
Huckleberry Grove
-where the music's guaranteed to blow your mind
Huckleberry Grove
-you'll be groovin' on the best days of your life
Huckleberry Grove
-where the idiots can't ease you of your mind
Huckleberry Grove
-get the free train, leave your luggage get behind
Ooh she sings Shangri-la
Ooh she sings Shangri-la
You and I should ride the coast
and wind up in our favourite coasts just miles away.
Roll a number write another song
like Jimmy heard the day he caught the train
He sipped another rum and coke and told a dirty joke
Walking like Groucho sucking on a number 10
Rolling on the floor with the cigarette burns walked in
Stepping through the door
with the night in store whiling just an hour away,
step into the sky in the star bright feeling its a brighter day.
You and I should ride the tracks
and find ourselves just wading through tomorrow
and you and I when we're coming down
we're only getting back
and you know I feel no sorrow
When you find that things are getting wild
don't you need days like these.
What are you going to do today Mrs Jones
Are you going to face the bills to pay Mrs Jones
or leave them sitting there waiting outside your door
Hoping to find the things you hoped would tell you more
about the dreams that seem to slip away
It's not as if Mr Jones could help in anyway
It's not as if Mr Jones the bills that he could pay
She's living at the Top Of The World
In need of salvation she spoke to her mother
who died in the service of king
What is the meaning of wallflowers receiving
a glance; it would mean everything
And she thinks
She's living at the Top Of The World
Three minutes later she looked in the mirror
And cracked half a smile at her toes
And she knows.....
She's living at the Top Of The World
But I feel a love of jealousy and pain
Lost in the race 'tween the foolish and vain
Come in the morning time whistle to take you away
Where the sun always burns in the Winter
Oh...Here in my Heart
Oh...Here in my Heart
And I know that all I'm saying is wrong
etched in the night - time and rhymed in a song
Come tomorrow I'll lighten-up and drink to the ones
Who love without asking for loving
Don't forsake me
the morning time plays at the children's door
If you leave me
then what would I tell them you're leaving for?
I feel a love that's so hard to bear
won't you come kiss me and take this despair
Let the morning time dapple its light in your hair
Like warm running water in snow
I wanna stay alive with you
I wanna stay alive with you
And they'll look you in the eye
and anyway they'll always slip a smile at you
but thirteen year old girls
in rat-holes on the other side of the world
they wouldn't lie to you
I wanna stay alive with you
I wanna stay alive with you
And free runs into town
where the boys and girls are settling down for the night
to make up and make eyes at you
I wanna stay alive with you
I wanna stay alive with you
Well it's something that your mother can't abide
But it's something that I freely prescribe
Take yourself for a ride
it never felt so good
as the night that you and I played Robin Hood
Stealing through the backrooms of our minds
remembering a time when we were five
a time I thought we'd left behind...
When you're starting to cry
come and sit by my side
and I will love you ...so
And when nightmares come
I will try to be fun, even though;
I'm so scared you know...
Well it's something your mother can't abide
but it's something that I freely prescribe
Take yourself for a ride
it never felt so good
as the night that you and I played Robin Hood
Stealing from the back rooms of our minds
Stealing from a time when we were five
a time I thought we'd left behind...
When you're starting to choke
take some pills with your coke
It's hysterical
Now I've been down to Chelsea Walk
Where the sun just refuses to shine
And I ran back to my little room
And I jumped straight into a bottle of wine
You know I'll be alright for just a day
But tomorrow I must wake
In Chelsea Walk
On Chelsea Walk
Old man I must be on my way
Don't you worry I'm just scared for those who pray
In Chelsea Walk
On Chelsea Walk
If I walk by the trees
I'll catch the falling leaves
If the wind blows
But I know all this means
Is whiling on the hours
watching side-shows
Will I turn my coat to the rain
I don't know
But I'm going somewhere
I can warm my bones
Fare you well I'll carry me away
and sing for those I know
upon their birthdays
And I rose-trayed sailors
And you still shining
And I'm till waiting to got
And I lied for sailors
And I lied for certain
And I lied to everyone I know
Oh I'd believe in God and I'd believe in loving
but I don't speak to anyone who knows
And I need four 50's and three yellow lemons
And someone to take me home
And I'd forgotten the one who was sailing
on the water down beside where you don't go
And it's strange to tell
that the one who is shining
is someone I forgot I used to know
And the clock struck fifteen hours ago
Hey, Hey - what's that I heard you say
Don't think that I would never need it
Hey Hey - what's that I heard you say
Don't think that I would ever believe it
It's just a thought and nothing more
that all your thoughts and moves are taught
and memorised each night before your sleeping
And every word is such a joke
strung form neon masts flying flags you hope
will win you friends and give your life some meaning
Hey, Hey - what's that I heard you say
Don't think that I would ever need it
Hey, Hey - what's that I heard you say
Don't think that I would ever believe it
You told so many lies
your tongue is stained with Alibis
You've been around the world and found it pleasing
And every word is such a joke
with so many pasts you'd be a hundred years old
Don't you wonder why the room keeps on leaving
Hey,Hey - what's that I heard you say
Don't think that I would ever need it
Hey, Hey - What's that I heard you say
Don't think that I would even believe it
Yellow moon rising on the riverboat wild
You keep me running like a child
Bobby don't know
He's got a funny way of seeing situations
You call him on the phone
but ain't it funny how he never seems to get home
Now days catch me without an overcoat
Five o'clock shoes full of snow
All rained out nowhere to go
Memories are sure to find you
No matter how fast you run
Gonna catch up with you
Charlie Brown Says -
Oh this winter sure sure gets me down
When there ain't no friends around
Whatever happened to the Beautiful Losers
Whatever happened to the Beautiful Losers
Your eyes closed and dreamed of places
that you and I would go
it's getting hard for me
To love you, like I used to
I don't believe "hello"
Do you?
