Marchin' Already by Ocean Colour Scene

Hundred Mile High City

So I said I'm on the roam so I need a car
And I know that I'm getting alive
And I say I got faith and a season
And I say that's where I'm going to

I get a need and I'm wanting to please it
I gotta face and I'm wanting to feel it
The more I feel is the more that I need it
The more I need is the less I believe it

Well I want a good love by my side
Keep on getting out of love and my pride
And I know I keep hurting my love yeah
But i know it ain't killing

Better Day

Sonny signed his name up for tomorrow
And laughed with all of this friends
At all the little men who borrow tunes
They heard just yesterday
Davey got us down but we got away
And drank to all the days
That we just whiled away
Just playing Robin Hood a little out of phase

And then the nightmares come
And you get blown away
(when your friends go away, on last chorus)
And up in your room your walls are cold
You find your head is holding out

For the welcome of a better day
And then the nightmares come
And you get blown away
And up in your room
Your walls are getting colder
Like you're getting on a roller coaster
You can't find the breaks

Stevie burned the sky when he flew away
And left us things to say
When all the world was falling down
Around our shoulders; cold and grey
Harry carried on in his usual way
And Minnie went inside
And came out once and we both cried
And Minnie blew my head away

(Repeat Chorus)

When you're giving everything away
Everybody lets you pray
You're saving up for a better day
Seeing things in a better way
When you know you've got to live
There's nothing you won't give
To hear the phone and not let it ring
Every monday morning
Shughie found love and he almost cried
We laughed and wondered why
We loved the sky and found the space
And gazed out over Stevie's plane

(Repeat Chorus)

Travellers' Tune

Where do you go buttoned up in your favourite coat
Stepping out to a different world
And you might be home late
And where are you now
Staring at your favourite box
The one with the traveller's cross
On the road past the gate

But if you find yourself standing on the corner
While you're thinking of a different world
Then you might see me waiting on the corner
Staring through you in your different world

And if I could swim
Then I'd get out and find my boat
Sail away to my favourite coast
And let you all in
And if I could do all the things you're asking for
Then maybe I'd find your door
And bring it home to you

(Repeat Chorus)

So where do we go
Like two Christopher's in the snow
Yeah we're blind but we want to know
Just to say I love you
And all of our lives
We'll sail though the suns and moons
To sing our Travellers Tune
Just to say I love you

(Repeat Chorus)

Big Star

I don't want to be another big star
Picking at your cars
Stealing at your clothes
Finding out what you don't know
You don't know

I don't want to be your big star
Picking your calls; saying I don't know
I don't want to be your suitor
Lacking at your feet
Trying to love the things you need

Oh you know I've heard this before
And you know I've heard this some more
And please give me the chance
To break down your door
But I sit
Oh Oh
I still sit here

I don't want to be another tailor
Pricking at your thumb
Washing all the tears away
Some words
Oh no I believe they don't feel you
Picking up your dirt
And washing dreams away

Debris Road

She nails down moon beams
And talks in double time
Stumbling to whenever she goes
I live in the meantime
And I get frustrated
So I put my wager on Debris Road

It keeps me running down Debris Road
I'm not scared but it's somewhere I cling to
And all the places I want to go
They won't cast a shadow on my Debris Road

(Repeat Chorus)

Someone got moonfaced and someone gets tearful
Talking so much that they really don't know
Staying up all night singing songs 'till daylight
And striking a match with the devil below

(Repeat Chorus)

Besides Yourself

Before I let you all go
Before I pull you from this show
Before I wave to you
I'd like to say to you
I wish you never to be alone

Besides yourself what can you say
Millions apart and miles away
Besides yourself what do you need
Some feel no pain while others bleed

So if you're going to save my words
Make sure it's this time you deserve
Before I walk away
I know your every day
Will play before you on it's own

(Repeat Chorus)

And I'm not saying I'm not saying any wrong by you
And I'm not saying I'm not talking my time for you

(Repeat Chorus)

Get Blown Away

And when she blows the candle flame to smoke
She says a prayer for all of those who live in houses and in homes
And monday she'll go down town standing naked in the road
You may know what I am
But who I am you don't know

She'll run across the mustard dust sand
Scream down the wind
And the sea is in a cold
Like when in holiday homes
And houses like sweet confectionary
And sandcastles and drinking wine
Hungry diners perfectly timed

And mother and father glowing young
Happy to be each other together
When she blows the candle out
She goes to bed and lies and drags through her head
The day that went way of every day
But tomorrow she'll fly a plane
Over the fields where the houses aren't built yet

She smiled sweetly across the room
Through the lunch time smoke
And I loved her for a second
And discarded the queen and I know
How sweetness turns sour
And leaves they turn to brown
And then to earth and dust
And settle in this town
You get blown away

(Repeat 1st Half)

She smiled sweetly across the lunch time smoke
And I loved her for a second and discarded the queen and I know
When men are being little boys again
And women cruel step mothers of old
And this is the invention
The adventure of my own
I get blown away

Tele He's Not Talking

Tele he's the one he knows what to say
Know how to find his way
He knows the roads by night and by doorways
But watching the light in a hall
Won't change a thing or say at all
What it is that he says

Still he says that I don't know
Still he says that I don't know

I don't why I'm thinking about so much
When I don't know what it is I can't say
And I wouldn't change a thing if I believe it all
And screamed in your face

Still I'd says hey I don't know
Still I'd says hey I don't know

Tele deals the cards and draws an ace
And finds himself miles away
Where skies ain't bruised by towers and fumes
And children ain't to young to play
Would i change a thing
I'd change it all
But were born different days

Still I'd say hey I don't know
Still I'd say hey I don't know

(Repeat Chorus)

Foxy's Folk Faced

I think everybody's after me
They want to know just what i feel
Pushing wires under my nose
Everybody's standing on my toes
Telling the world what I should know

You said you'd seen life from near the floor
You opened every closing door

Thank you for always being there
And all the nights in which we shared
And we know we're always here

If it gets you down
You know I'll always be around
Cos too much just ain't enough

(Whistle)

We - we who are your property
Whose every single move you see
We don't mind the prying eyes
We don't mind all your lies
Or the headlines that you write

All Up

Instrumental

Spark & Cindy

Spark and Cindy live by their own means
They wouldn't have if I only
know'd where they'd been
And I want to make things a part of my life
And I want to see that
things are going to be right
But if you can't even
stand on your feet
And if you don't own the
air that you breathe
Then it's not for me to say

But I wouldn't live that way
and I wouldn't stand apart
And I wouldn't find the real
and I wouldn't play a part
And I wouldn't find in love
so misguided by some fool
And just what I'm trying t say
makes my head spin round the room

(Repeat from 3rd line onwards)

Half A Dream Away

We're just half a dream away
Sitting on our fences
Building up defences
Making up rules by which you play

We're just half way down the road
Staking our postions
But stupid supersitions
Only give fools too heavy a load

The magpie screeched and the windows shattered
Her body's bruised but her soul's not battered
The fireman tried but the hose was broken
The cupboards bare but the door needs closing

We spend half our time away
From being where we want to
And seeing who it's fun to
Not blaming ourselves for our mistakes

We spend half a dream away
Looking out of windows
Waiting for a signal
Waiting for night to close the day

The tree was bare but the birds were singing
The milk turned sour and my thirst needs quenching
The meat was dead and I need me feeding
The room was cold but the night was freezing

The rainbow frowned when the sun was laughing
A baby's snatched on a beatiful morning
A dog runs wild and the brakes are screaming
A church on fire is struck by lightining
The dead man's hands had beautiful fingers
The princess frowned at her lovers mistress
She went insane and poisoned the children
A teacher's drowned and a child is laughing

It's A Beautiful Thing

Sonny went and flipped away and said he had to go
How could you ever say he never stayed alone
And how could I belong with anyone you know
Come on every line's a line I'll never know

Oh......it's a beautiful thing
Oh......it's a beautiful thing

Sometimes I can get along alone enough
Backing everyone away and never have enough
And how could I be playing every line for you
Look at the things today that I can never choose

(Repeat Chorus)

Sometimes I could never ever ever fade again
Sometimes I could never ever ever fade again
Sometimes I could never ever ever fade again

And how could I be palying every line for you
Look at the things today that I never choose

(Repeat Chorus)
