1. How Come?

Music & Lyrics: few

Parents, teachers, politicians
Keep on waffling in their mission
Of making me a better man
A crusade I don't understand

The years have come and gone
And they still keep going, still keep going on

Hoc come the world's like this
That messed up place it really is
When everybody seems to know
So much better than I do

Still a kid, just getting older
I feel the pressure on my shoulders
To be a responsible man
A fine upstanding citizen

The bullshit flows and flows
And I still just want to, still just want to know

Hoc come the world's like this
That messed up place it really is
When everybody seems to know
So much better than I do

2. Aidan

Mummy, how come Oasis is famous and few isn't?
I don't know.

3. Brave New World

Hold me closer now and kiss me
Tell me that it isn't true
That they know everything we're thinking
See everything we say and do

The papers say there'll be and end to the cold
And we'll all be healthy, wealthy, young
Till we get old

In this brave new world, brave new world
Where your face is unknown and your voice is unheard
In this brave new world, this brave new world
In this brave new world

It's cold and grey outside the window
It's grey and cold here where we lie
Wrapped together undercover
Wwishing that the sun could rise

They want to see me prove my love of the cause
Say that I'll fit better after
Some nine-to-five behind closed doors


In this brave new world, brave new world
Where your face is unknown and your voice is unheard
In this brave new world, this brave new world
In this brave new world

4. Eyes of a Child

Astronauts in green pullovers
Climbing bars and playtime
Lunar landings in slow motion
Gingerbread and snow

Let's go watch purple flowers
Let's go bowling in june
Let's just sit here for hours
And dream the dream that we dream will one day come true

If they could've seen what we could see
They would have seen why we smiled
But they couldn't see like you and me
Cause we had the eyes of a child

Outside left and inner circle
Left outside alone 
Must escape the atmosphere here
Rockets primed to go

You're still building your towers
And my mind's still on the moon
The dreams it seems are still ours
And it seems that they have their own way of coming true

If they could've seen what we could see
They would have seen why we smiled
But they couldn't see like you and me
Cause we had the eyes of a child

No they couldn't see what we could see
They always thought we were wild 
No they couldn't see like you and me
Cause we had the eyes of a child

Hey can you see what I can see?
I think that you can if you try
Cause we can see further than the eye can see
With the eyes of a child

5. Candyman

As the night falls in and the dreams begin
Again
You'll be haunted by forgotten sins
Again
In the dead of the night you will scream in fright
And pain
Cause you're all alone as you slowly go
Insane

You've no-one to say they love you
Cause you drove them all away
And you thank the stars above you
That you were so damn good today
And you believe it

It's just a matter of time they'll come to take you away
It's just a matter of time until you hear me say

Paranoid, all alone
Intellectual and stoned
Paranoid, all alone
Overweight and undergrown
Yes, you're all alone, all alone, alone
Yes, you're all alone, all alone, alone
And no-one gives a damn

And you're oh so sad that the friends you had
Are gone
But their jealousy meant they didn't stay
For long
In your tiny mind you are so sublime
And wrong
That the whole damn world around you
Don't belong

You've no-one to say they love you
Cause you drove them all away
And you thank the stars above you
That you were so damn good today
And you believe it

It's just a matter of time they'll come to take you away
It's just a matter of time until you feel the pain

Paranoid, all alone
Intellectual and stoned
Paranoid, all alone
Overweight and undergrown
Yes, you're all alone, all alone, alone
Yes, you're all alone, all alone, alone
And no-one gives a damn


6. Enjoy the Silence

8. Highland Fling

Long ago in a land of velvet green
Lived a happy folk
The likes of which you've never seen

They worked hard, they struggled and they strived 
All day long in the winter just to stay alive

They worked in the fields, all live long day
But when the day was done they knew how to party

They'd dance the highland fling
They'd run and jump and dance and sing
Now that's the highland fling
Hidi hidi ho

It's their dance the highland fling
They jumped around like lambs in spring
Now, that's the highland fling
Hidi hidi ho

A simple folk but, alas, there came the day 
When the pin-striped man 
Came and took their life-style away

They work hard, they struggle and they strive
All day long in the winter just to stay alive

In the factories, all live long day
But when the day is done they know how to party

They'll dance the highland fling
They run and jump and dance and sing
Now, that's the highland fling
Hidi hidi ho

It's their dance the highland fling
They jump around like lambs in spring
Well, that's the highland fling
Hidi hidi ho
