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
7. Tonight I'm the Singer
kommt bald...
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
