SOME MIGHT SAY - 06/05/1995
1 week at #1 - 27 weeks on chart

Some might say that sunshine follows thunder
Go and tell it to the man who cannot shine
Some might say that we should never ponder
On our thoughts today 'cos they will sway over time

Some might say we will find a brighter day
Some might say we will find a brighter day

Cos I've been standing at the station
In need of education in the rain
You made no preparation for my reputation once again
The sink is full of fishes
Cos she's got dirty dishes on the brain
It was overflowing gently but it's all elementary my friend

Some might say they don't believe in heaven
Go and tell it to the man who lives in hell
Some might say you get what you've been given
If you don't get yours I won't get mine as well

Some might say we will find a brighter day
Some might say we will find a brighter day

Cos I've been standing at the station
In need of education in the rain
You made no preparation for my reputation once again
The sink is full of fishes
She's got dirty dishes on the brain
How my dog's been itching
Itching in the kitchen once again
Some might say
Some might say
You know what some might say
You know what some might say
You know what some might say
You know what some might say
You know what some might say
You know what some might say
You know what some might say
You know what some might say

DON'T LOOK BACK IN ANGER - 02/03/1996
1 week at #1 - 24 weeks on chart

Slip inside the eye of your mind
Don't you know you might find
A better place to play
You said that you'd never been
But all the things that you've seen
Slowly fade away

So I start a revolution from my bed
Cos you said the brains I had went to my head
Step outside summertime's in bloom
Stand up beside the fireplace
Take that look from off your face
You ain't ever gonna burn my heart out

And so Sally can wait
She knows it's too late
As we're walking on by
Her soul slides away
But don't look back in anger
I heard you say

Take me to the place where you go
Where nobody knows if it's night or day
Please don't put your life in the hands
Of a rock 'n' roll band
Who'll throw it all away

I'm gonna start a revolution from my bed
Cos you said the brains I had went to my head
Step outside cos summertime's in bloom
Stand up beside the fireplace
Take that look from off your face
Cos you ain't ever gonna burn my heart out

And so Sally can wait
She knows it's too late
As she’s walking on by
My soul slides away
But don't look back in anger
I heard you say

So Sally can wait
She knows it's too late
As we're walking on by
Her soul slides away
But don't look back in anger
I heard you say

And so Sally can wait
She knows it's too late
As she’s walking on by
My soul slides away
But don't look back in anger
Don't look back in anger
At least not today

D'YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN - 19/07/1997
1 week at #1 - 18 weeks on chart

Step off the train all alone at dawn
Back into the hole where I was born
The sun in the sky never raised an eye to me
The blood on the trax and they must be mine
The fool on the hill and I feel fine
Don't look back cos you know what you might see

Look into the wall of my minds eye
I think I know but I don't know why
The questions are the answers you might need
Coming in a mess going out in style
I ain't good looking but I'm someone's child
No-one can give me the air that's mine to breathe

I met my maker, I made him cry
And on my shoulder he asked me why
His people won't fly through the storm
I said listen up man, they don't even know your born
All my people right here right now
D'you know what I mean yeah, yeah
All my people right here right now
D'you know what I mean yeah, yeah
All my people right here right now
D'you know what I mean yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah

I don't really care for what you believe
So open up your fist or you won't receive
The thoughts and the words of every man you'll need
So get up off the floor and believe in life
No-ones ever gonna ever ask you twice
Get on the bus and bring it on home to me

I met my maker, I made him cry
And on my shoulder he asked me why
His people won't fly through the storm
I said listen up man, they don't even know your born
All my people right here right now
They know what I mean yeah, yeah
All my people right here right now
They know what I mean yeah, yeah
All my people right here right now
They know what I mean yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah

All my people right here right now

All my people right here right now
D'you know what I mean yeah, yeah
All my people right here right now
D'you know what I mean yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah

1 week at #1 - 9 weeks on chart

It's a bit early in the midnight hour for me
To go through all the things that I wanna be
I don't believe in everything I see
Y'know I'm blind so why d'you disagree
Take me away 'cos I just don't wanna stay
And the lies you make me say

And where you gonna swim with the riches that you found
If you're lost at sea well I hope that you've drowned
Take me away cos I just don't wanna stay
And the lies you make me say
Are getting deeper every day
These are crazy days but they make me shine
Time keeps rolling by

GO LET IT OUT - 19/02/2000
1 week at #1 - 12 weeks on chart

Paint no illusion
Try to click with whatcha got
Taste every potion
Cos if you like yourself a lot
Go let it out
Go let it in
And go let it out

Life is precocious in the most peculiar way
Sister psychosis don't got a lot to say
She go let it out
She go let it in
She go let it out

She go let it out
She go let it in
She go let it out

Is it any wonder why princes and kings
Are clowns that caper in their sawdust rings
Ordinary people that are like you and me
We're the keepers of their destiny
We're the keepers of their destiny

I'm gonna leave this city
I'm going driving out of town
And you're coming with me
The right time is always now

So go let it out
And go let it in
And go let it out

So go let it out
So go let it in
And go let it out

Is it any wonder why princes and kings
Are clowns that caper in their sawdust rings
Ordinary people that are like you and me
We're the builders of their destiny
We're the builders of their destiny
We're the builders of their destiny
We're the builders of their destiny

So go let it out
Go let it in
And go let it out
Don't let it in
And go let it out
Go let it in
And go let it out
Don't let it in
Don't let it in
Don't let it in

I get up when I'm down
I can't swim but my soul won't drown
I do believe I've got flare
I got speed and I walk on air

Cos God give me a soul
In your rock n' roll babe
Cos god give me a soul
In your rock n' roll babe
And I get so high I just can't feel it
And I get so high I just can't feel it
In and out my brain
Running through my veins
You're my sunshine
You're my rain

There's a light that shines on
Shines on me
And it keeps me warm
It gave me peace
I must say
I can't sleep
Cos the world won't wait

Cos God gave me a soul
In your rock n' roll babe
Cos god give me a soul
In your rock n' roll babe
And I get so high I just can't feel it
And I get so high I just can't feel it
In and out my brain
Running through my veins
You're my sunshine
You're my rain

And I get so high I just can't feel it
And I get so high I just can't feel it
And I get so high I just can't feel it
And I get so high I just can't feel it
In and out my brain
Running through my veins
You're my sunshine
You're my rain

LYLA - 28/05/2005
1 Week at #1 -

Calling all the stars to fall
And catch the silver sunlight in your hands
Call for me to set me free
Lift me up and take me where I stand

She believes in everything
And everyone and you and yours and mine
I waited for a thousand years
For you to come and blow me out my mind

Hey Lyla
The stars about to fall
So what you say Lyla
The world around us makes me feel so small Lyla
If you can't hear me call
Then I can't say Lyla
Heaven help you catch me if I fall

She's the queen of all I've seen
And every song and city far and near
Heaven help me mademoiselle
She rings the bell for all the world to hear

Hey Lyla
The stars about to fall
So what you say Lyla
The world around us makes me feel so small Lyla
If you can't hear me call
Then I can't say Lyla
Heaven help you catch me if I fall

Hey Lyla
The stars about to fall
So what you say Lyla
The world around us makes me feel so small Lyla
If you can't hear me call
Then I can't say Lyla
Heaven help you catch me when I fall Lyla

Hey Lyla

Hey Lyla

Hey Lyla

THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING IDLE - 03/09/2005
1 week at #1

I sold my soul for the second time
Cos the man, he don't pay me
I begged my landlord for some more time
He said Son, the bills waiting

My best friend called me the other night
He said "Man, are you crazy?"
My girlfriend told me to get a life
She said "boy, you lazy"

But I don't mind
As long as there's a bed beneath the stars that shine
I'll be fine
If you give me a minute
A mans got a limit
I can't get a life if my hearts' not in it

I don't mind
As long as there's a bed beneath the stars that shine
I'll be fine
If you give me a minute
A mans got a limit
I can't get a life if my heart's not in it

I lost my faith in the summertime
Cos it don't stop raining
The sky all day is as black as night
But I'm not complaining

I begged my doctor for one more line
He said Son, words fail me
It ain't no place to be killing time
But I guess I'm just lazy

I don't mind
As long as there's a bed beneath the stars that shine
I'll be fine
If you give me a minute
A mans got a limit
I can't get a life if my hearts' not in it
