III Wishes

If I had three wishes, I'd wish for five,
Panorama, men at work, oh man alive,
If I had five wishes I'd wish for six,
I'd have a Midas touch and not a nervous twitch,
If I had six wishes I'd wish for seven,
No I'll go the whole hog give me a hundred and eleven wishes,
What are they all for,
So I can have everything I've ever wished for and more,

If I had three wishes I'd wish for five,
Then I could breath under water and I'd still be alive,
I'd be as strong as ten tigers and fly through sky,
Or be completely invisible yet still pleasing to the eye,
Oh just nine wishes, no make it ten,
So I can travel through time and start all over again.
So I can travel through time and start all over again.

 Refrain:
If I had three wishes I'd wish for five,
Peace on earth, ban the bomb, get along and survive,
If I had five wishes I'd wish for six,
I'd have a flat in the city and a house in the sticks,
If I had six wishes I'd wish for seven,
Just decide what you want and then make it happen.
Just decide what you want and then make it happen.

Refrain:
Wish me luck, wish me well,
Wish me all the best and the rest to hell,
Wish happy birthday, wish good new year,
It's a wish wash there I bet you was here,
It's a wish wash there I bet you were here,

Refrain:
If I had three wishes, 
I'd have a hundred and eleven wishes. (repeat to end).

Josephine

I had a friend called Joe,
When friends were hard to find,
He had a restless soul,
And something on his mind,
One day I went away,
and then returned to the scene,
Not to find restless Joe no,
But to find Josephine,

I asked her what her game was,
She said Joe had left the scene,
I asked her what her name was,
And she said.......They call me Josephine.

It took a while to click,
But then I got the gist,
The girl by my side,
Was the guy I'd missed,
I took her for a beer,
To talk about old times,
Just to find that beer,
Was now a sweet white wine,

I asked her what her game was,
She said Joe had left the scene,
I asked her what her name was,
And she said.......They call me Josephine.

So we talked all night,
And I just can't pretend,
Although I lost old Joe,
I got a new girlfriend,

I asked her what her game was,
She said Joe had left the scene,
I asked her what her name was,
And she said.......They call me Josephine.
I asked her what her game was,
She said Joe had left the scene,
I asked her what her name was,
And she said.......They call me Josephine.

Hypnotised  

I was cynical, not a great believer,
I thought these things were here to deceive you,
I thought it can't be true, couldn't happen to me,
Be under some-one's power by the count of three,
But I barked like a dog and I walked like a chicken,
They said I took my clothes off, or were they just kidding,
Or were they just kidding ?
Sleep, a deep deep sleep,
I can't remember except for little bits and peeps,
And everyone else they had a better time than me,
But at least I volunteered and that's to say the least,
'Cos' I joined in when they were all chicken,
Now I get a strange feeling when I hear a bell ringing,
Is that a bell ringing ? 


I'm in charge of the world, Why don't you bow down before the king,
I'm the president of it all in control of everything,
I'm that thing I can't recall, sorry what was I saying ?,
Oh I think it's happened again,oh my god how embarrassing. 


What happened,then it all went hazy,
I hope I'm all right and I'm not going crazy,
Oh it'll be fine just delayed reaction,
So we go for a curry before the taxi rank and,
delayed reaction, 


I'm in charge of the world, Why don't you bow down before the king,
I'm the president of it all in control of everything,
I'm that thing I can't recall, sorry what was I saying ?,
Oh I think it's happened again,oh my god how embarrassing.

  
Watch the watch,
Watch it swinging,
Your eye's are getting heavy,
Your mind's relaxing,
watch the watch,
watch it swinging,
Your eye's are getting heavy,
Your mind's relaxing,1 2 3 


I'm in charge of the world, Why don't you bow down before the king
I'm the president of it all in control of everything,
I'm that thing I can't recall, sorry what was I saying ?,
Oh I think it's happened again,oh my god how embarrassing.

Cant Get You Out Of My Mind

All right now,so she knows what going on,
Just lately she hates me,can't take no more,
And I cannot guarantee the things you say to me will make me run along,

I wanna tell you,how much I miss you,
I need to be you, I need to see you,
I got to tell you how much I need you,
COs I can't get you out of my mind,
Give me one more, 

It's up to me she said,
Decisions mine and yet I don't know what to do I really don't know what
to do,
She told me straight she said the plan was safety don't forget what to do
now don't forget what to do,
I promised you security forever, every night and every day,
Because, 

I wanna tell you,how much I miss you,
I need to be you, I need to see you,
I got to tell you how much I need you,
COs I can't get you out of my mind,
Give me one more try, 

My conscience plays tricks upon me, I'm not guilty until proved,
But your refusal to get to know me leaves me so confused I don't know
what to do, 

I wanna tell you,how much I miss you,
I need to be you, I need to see you,
I got to tell you how much I need you,
Cos I can't get you out of my mind,
Give me one more try,
I wanna tell you,how much I miss you,
I need to be you, I need to see you,
I got to tell you how much I need you,
Cos I can't get you out of my mind,

In Your Shoes

It really wouldn't happen in my day,
None of this was going on,we had to make our own fun and games,
I didn't fight two wars to be this way,
I'm looking forward to my sixties again maybe this time round we'll make
it past the grade,
Past eighty eight,
On past the grade,
On to fun and games, 


When I was in your shoes,
There was always something to do,
I was down a pit, up to my neck in it,
When I was in your shoes,
There were so many rules,
So much law, now they don't know they're born. x2 


This really wouldn't happen in Margate,
None of this was on the prom you had to take your own fun and games,
I haven't worked nine lives to live this way,
I'm looking back to the sixties again maybe this time round we'll make it
past eighty eight,
Past eighty eight,
On past the grade,
On to fun and games, 


When I was in your shoes,
There was always something to do,
I was down a pit, up to my neck in it,
When I was in your shoes,
There were so many rules,
So much law, now they don't know they're born. x2 


I ain't survived five hips to walk this way,
This has all gone on too long,now you know it's not all fun and games. 


When I was in your shoes,
There was always something to do,
I was down a pit, up to my neck in it,
When I was in your shoes,
There were so many rules,
So much law, now they don't know they're born.

Swings And Roundabouts

I like it on a Sunday morning if I've been out the night before,
I get the feeling the whole world's yawning but I don't want to sleep no
more,
And you won't see me around the town because I spent last night on a
roundabout, 


I wander round at night,
It's easy to think in the bright moon light,
When you're comfy in the darkness looking up at the stars,
Wondering if there is really life on Mars,
Wondering if there is really life on Mars, 


It's easy like a Monday morning if I've been out the week before,
I usually phone you by Tuesday evening with the faintest hope you'll let
me know the score,
COs I just want to come round your house because I spent last week on
a roundabout,
You won't see me hanging around, I spent my life on a roundabout, 


I wander round at night,
It's easy to think in the bright moon light,
When you're comfy in the darkness looking up at the stars,
Wondering if there is really life on Mars,
Wondering if there is really life on Mars, 


I light a candle,watch it drip down to the floor,
If it takes an hour it takes a minute who's keeping score,
I try to tell myself I gotta stop messing with the things I should ignore,
But I'm here again and you're somewhere else and my company's getting
bored. 


I wander round at night,
It's easy to think in the bright moon light,
When you're comfy in the darkness looking up at the stars,
Wondering if there is really life on Mars,
Wondering if there is really life on Mars,
I wander round at night,
It's easy to think in the bright moon light,
When you're comfy in the darkness looking up at the stars,
Wondering if there is really life on Mars,

Day After Day

Nobody loves you not quite the way you do,
Not saying they hate you, oh no it's more the things you do,
If you've got a choice of things to say,
You chose to use that certain way, that says, 

Day after day I think a little bit, I run it through my brain,
All the ways I've heard you say,
You've had a little think and thought it best to think again, 

A careless words starts the argument,
The agreement starts the fight,
That starts riots,
That start the fires which now burn so bright,
Build the mountains from the hills and standing at the top,
Out of sight, with all your might, singing everything's gonna be all right,
Meanwhile there's decisions to be made,
Speak out there's no need o be afraid, you say, 

Day after day,
I think a little bit, I run it through my brain,
All the ways I've heard you say,
You've had a little think and thought it best to think again, 

And I just want to lose grip,
But you're too busy being wonderful, 

Day after day,
I think a little bit, I run it through my brain,
All the ways I've heard you say,
You've had a little think and thought it best to think again,
Day after day,
I think a little bit, I run it through my brain,

Left To The Right

To the left to the right, round and round and out of sight,
Up and down, side to side searching all over far and wide, 

To the left to the right, round and round and out of sight,
Up and down, side to side searching all over far and wide, 

I was sitting at the station waiting for my train to a new destination to
relax the strain,
Call it a holiday, call it a break, it's just something to save me for
saviors sake, 

And I'm not looking for trouble, I'm not not looking for fame,
I'm not looking for anything, maybe a little bit of personal gain,
I don't claim to be original, originality's not my claim,
If someone does it better then do it like Kurt Cobain,
As you are, come as you like from far around and out of sight,
Up and down, side to side searching all over far and wide, 

I was renting this car, I was on my way, I was sitting at the junction at
the end of the lane,
Taking a holiday, taking a break, it's just something for the good of me
for goodness sake, 

And I'm not looking for trouble, I'm not not looking for fame,
I'm not looking for anything maybe a little bit of personal gain,
I don't claim to be original, originality's not my claim,
If someone does it better then let's all do it again,

Cantankerous

                                       

I used to just wash, now I wash and I dry and I put away,
I'd started to shop and now I shop and I cook since you went that day,
You took your own words,
Your own terms,
Your own way,
I know I pushed my luck but look at me now I'm pulling my weight,
Just want to talk about it,
Or waste some time with that,
Try to make sense about it, 
That's why. 


To pack it in could be so damned easy yeah,
Make it out as though no-one really cares,
It's in your own words,
Your own terms,
Your own way,
What I'd took for granted, now I really do appreciate,
But I don't want to talk about it,
Don't waste time with that,
Can't make sense about it,
That's why. 


What I'm trying to say is I'm mad, I've had enough of that?
I've heard it all before so I know the score,
To me it's tough etc and I know I'm a fool,
I'm tired and emotional about all the rules,
When everything I've done or said is taken the wrong way,
Everything from A to Z thrown back in my face,.....Back in my face, 


Don't want to talk about it,
Don't waste time with that,
Can't make sense about it,
Oh, that's why... 


Variety is the spice of life,
A change is as good as a rest,
It's good to do what the hell you want to do, 
Until the son of a bitch hits a technical hitch and then no-one's too
impressed, 


Don't want to talk about it,
Don't waste time with that,
Can't make sense about it,
Oh, that's why...

Tequila

Ode to Jose the curse of Cuervo, 
So hard to say no though it gives one the fever,
Pretends to be friendly,
Then it's all over, over,
It's all over, over,
Pretends to be fine,
Then the curse of Tequila, 


It makes me happy,
Con Tequila it feels fine,
Con Tequila when the doors are opened,
And con Tequila when they're calling time,
That's the curse of, 


Sierra sunrise and Margarita,
They'll break your heart in the desert heat,
Tell you you're thirsty,
They'll tell you you're sober, sober,
It's all over, over,
They'll tell you you're fine,
Then the curse of Tequila.... 


If there's a lot on your mind it's there to help you forget,
To relax and rewind and leave behind the regret,
First sip makes you well before you know it it's time,
And you're saying to hell with the salt, lemon and lime,
Salt, lemon and lime, time Tequila, 


That's the curse of Tequila.....

Vegas

Put your shoes on,
Put your coat on,
Put your hat on,
Put your scarf on,
Pick yourself up,
Pick your moment,
And let's go, 


Snow flake was in love with Dewdrop,
But Dewdrop had an eye on Lake,
Well lake was going out with Swan just by coincidence,
And Dewdrop didn't know they were that way,
So they all traveled on in a purple camper van,
With Las Vegas or bust as their fame and fortune plan,
With one of them material,
One of them spiritual,
And two of them were visual people who, 


Who put their shoes on,
Put their coats on,
Put their brave face on,
Put a smile on,
Picked themselves up,
Picked their moment and let go, 


Harry got a job in an office,
Dewdrop found a place on stage,
Swan and Lake well they got married by Elvis Presley,
And drank every drop of their wage,
And they'd all agreed a plan to sell the purple camper van,
Put the lot on eighteen red and not to give a damn,
With one of them in clerical,
One of them dramatical,
And two of them incapable people,
Harry met Chris in cafe,
Where they laughed about Swan and lake,
A voice said Lake had run off with Storm Flower,
It was Lou who said come on let's all go home again,
So they'd put in 'what they can' to buy another trusty van,
Leave the bright lights behind to another restless gang,
Not one of them was cynical,
But one of them got biblical,
All three of them were different people. 


Put your shoes on,
Put your coats on,
Put your brave face on,
Put your smile on,
Pick yourself up,
Pick your moment and let's go,
Go home.

Spanner In The Works

You're the spanner in the works,
You're the throbbing sensation I get in my head,
You're the knife in my back that turns,
Or the broken heart that makes me wish I was dead,
When I say that you mean everything to me,
Haven't you heard. 


You're the sunshine spoiled by rain,
You're the sadness, loss and all that kind of pain,
You're my jinx,my hex,my curse,
Or time just after I thought things couldn't get worse,
When I tell you that you're everything,
I mean every word. 


It's never enough oh no it's never enough,
It's never enough oh no it's never enough,
It's never enough oh no it's never enough,
It's never enough oh no it's never enough, 


You're the thorn in my side,
You're the sun but you're getting in my eyes,
You're the problem that returns,
You're the same mistake and still I never learn,
When I tell you that you're everything,
I mean every word, 


It's never enough oh no it's never enough,
It's never enough oh no it's never enough,
It's never enough oh no it's never enough,
It's never enough oh no it's never enough, 


Everything you've ever done, everything you ever said,
Everything I ever heard get's me angry seeing red,

When I Die

Yes I've been without, been down and out,
Out on a limb with nowhere to go,
I was told it would be one less thing on my mind, 

Not to worry about, all the paying out,
The piles of bills and final demands,
They'd all be sorted when I die. 

I was going off the rails, no matter how I tried,
If all else fails failed and part of me just died,
And nothing ever changes, forever stuck on my tune,
Baby I was born to lose, 

Then my luck came in, I got a lucky win,
Hundreds of thousands and thousands of friends,
Had no more worries for a time, 

Didn't care about if I was paying out,
Its there to enjoy, have it on me,
Can't take it with you when you die. 

I was back on happy trails, I didn't have to try,
The wind was in my sails, I was so happy I could cry,
COs " nothing changes " changed, I felt like time was on my side,
I was happy and I really felt alive, 

When I'm falling, I'm tumbling down,
I'm crawling around on the ground,
I've been wondering, wondering why,
Wondering why life's so up and down, 

A sense of irony sweeping over me,
Back in the jug again ain't that swell,
Incurable nothing I could buy, 

Don't want no policy, to totally cover me,
No hidden small print to sell my soul to hell,
No parting gesture to say goodbye, 

Well you can stick your bonds and bails where the sun don't shine,
I'm not going to be pleasant,you can think what you like,
COs if it ever changes it goes from bad to worse,
I might as well face it man I'm cursed. 

When I'm falling, I'm tumbling down,
I'm crawling around on the ground,
I've been wondering, wondering why,
Wondering why life's so up and down,
When I'm falling, I'm tumbling down,
I'm crawling around on the ground,
I've been wondering, wondering why,
Wondering why life's so up and down,

On A Mission

 

Your hair's a mess, it's called distressed, 
It's the latest fashion don't I know,
Oh where have I come from, 
I must've been living under a stone, 


Or was I off of this planet,
Was I high on a rocket,
Was the G-force pushing my eyes out of the socket,
Was I spinning through orbit,
Hurtling through space,
Off on a mission and out of this place, 


I took a pill they said won't kill but that was back in 71',
Oh what do I do now and what's more the point what have I done, 


Since I've been off of this planet,
I've been high on a rocket,
And the G-force pushing my eyes out of the socket,
I've been spinning through orbit,
Hurtling through space,
Off on a mission and out of this place,
I've been off of this planet,
I've been high on a rocket,
And the G-force pushing my eyes out of the socket,
I've been spinning through orbit,
Hurtling through space,
Off on a mission and out of this place,
Off of this planet and into outer space, 


And it's been two thousand years,
It's been two hundred decades,
The second millennium's now the twenty first century,
Time don't wait for no-one at all, 


Climbed in the Merc, set off for work just like I did every day,
Where I climbed into my rocket, oh yeah, and they fired me, off into
space, 


I was off of this planet,
I was high on a rocket,
And the G-force was pushing my eyes out of the socket,
I was spinning through orbit,
Hurtling through space,
Off on a mission and out of this place,
Off of this planet,
High on a rocket,
G-force was pushing my eyes out of the socket,
I'm spinning through orbit,
Hurtling through space,
Off on a mission and out of this place,
Inter outer space.
