- Older
-
- When you smiled I was alive
- When you walked out I cried
- What does it mean now
- Nothing much at all
- The rain has washed it all away
-
- Now I’m older
- And the time has passed
- All the things that could have been
- And all the things that are
- We can't change a single thing
- All the scrapes and all the cuts
- All the ifs and all the buts
- I raise a glass to now
-
- I go for a pint now
- And I watch the people play
- But this ain't the city that I left behind that day
- Something has changed
- She didn't grow with me
- I don't belong here on these streets
-
- Now I’m older
- And the time has passed
- All the things that could have been
- And all the things that are
- We can't change a single thing
- All the scrapes and all the cuts
- All the ifs and all the buts
- I raise a glass to now
-
-
-
- Innocent Times
-
- The human race
- Is it almost run
- The sins of the fathers
- To be paid by the sons
- You can't undo what's been done
- The human race
- Is it almost run
-
- We're guilty of possession
- Guilty of too many crimes
- Do you ever long for
- More innocent times
-
- When you say your prayers
- Do you close your eyes
- Will you see color
- On the other side
- You say your heart is open wide
- You’ve got it all yet you scream like a child
-
- We’re guilty of corruption
- All the way down the line
- Have we ever lived in
- More innocent times
-
- Wild fires burning
- The world's still turning
- Flowers blooming
- Moonshine drinking
- People dancing all night long
-
- Well I took a breath
- And I stepped outside
- Saw mountains as high as the sky is wide
- You can’t outrun your foolish pride
- It’ll be right beside you on the day that you die
-
- We’re guilty of deception
- The most devious kind
- How much do you want for
- Your innocent times
-
- The human race
- Is it almost run
- The sins of the fathers
- To be paid by the sons
- You can't undo what's been done
- The human race
- Is it almost run
-

-
- Bringing the Sunshine
-
- Locked out found out
- Down by the river
- Where there’s a dollar there’s a dime
- You're out of the sun
- In need of some vitamins
- Might not be as easy as toeing the line
-
- From the markets of Singapore
- To the streets of Hong Kong
- All the way to old Bombay
-
- Here she comes again
- Here she comes again
- Bringing the sunshine
- Bringing the sunshine
-
- Well tonight you're a rock n roll star
- You know you’re a survivor
- Like the monkeys and the tigers
- Cadillacs and Pontiacs
- And vintage Impalas
-
- Nothing in this game for two in a bed
- You can’t always take back what you did or what you said
- You may wish you could
-
- Here she comes again
- Here she comes again
- Bringing the sunshine
- Bringing the sunshine
-
- Well you know what they say
- Crime doesn’t pay
- Do you wish you could stay here
- For eternity
- Half a world away
- Maybe that’s not far enough
-
- And you're all out of gurus
- Sailing on this ship of fools
-
- Here she comes again
- Here she comes again
- Bringing the sunshine
- Bringing the sunshine
-
-
-
- Hold On
-
- I watched the rain fall on the river
- I think it came out of the sky
- I felt the tears on my shoulder
- I know they came out of your eyes
-
- Hold on
- You've got to walk before you run
- Hold on
- You're still young and this world's not done
-
- Your legs are heavy and your mind is weary
- Feel like you're going nowhere fast
- They're putting walls up all around you
- Like you're a prisoner of the past
-
- Hold on
- There's often sunshine after rain
- Hold on
- You can make it through the pain
-
- Glass houses glass houses
- Everybody throwing stones
- Glass houses
- All I see is everybody throwing stones
-
- I watched the rain fall on the river
- I think it came out of the sky
- I felt the tears on my shoulder
- I know they came out of your eyes
-
- Hold on
- You've got to walk before you run
- Hold on
- You're still young and this world's not done
-
-
-
- Hot in the City
-
- It's getting hot in the city
- It's getting hot in the city
- And the money's tight
- And the pressure's starting to rise
-
- And the rats are running loose out on the streets
- Don't lose your head
- Don't lose your head
- Try to keep your feet
-
- And in the darkest corners
- Where the devil takes his due
- There's a little bit of real estate
- Waiting just for you
-
- So try to keep a little money safe
- Just in case
- But sometimes it's not enough
- Sometimes you're just too late
-
- Cos no one's gonna help you
- You're completely on your own
- At the mercy of the seeds
- That others may have sown
-
- And the people with the money
- They won't be giving it away
- Cos they don't want to be where you are
- Not on this or any other day
-
- It's getting hot in the city
- It's getting hot in the city
- It's getting hot in the city
- It's getting hot in the city
-

- Alien in Disguise
-
- He's taking his six o'clock run
- He's getting things done
- You've seen him around
- He's in everyone's town
- But he’s underneath the radar
-
- He’s an alien in disguise
- He came here in ’45
- He’s living amongst us
- He don’t make a fuss
- He’s just sitting there quietly at the back of the bus
-
- She's not trying to hustle
- She’s not in need of any kind of muscle
- She's not looking for any fun
- She's a creature of a different sun
-
- She's an alien in disguise
- She came here in '45
- She’s living amongst us
- She don’t make a fuss
- She’s just sitting there quietly at the back of the bus
-
- She does an honest day’s work
- For an honest day’s pay
- And she wonders when
- All that went away
-
- Now she needs all kinds of money
- To rent a shoe box in the city
- She really thinks that it needn’t be
- Such a matter of great complexity
-
- But she’s just an extraterrestrial
- What would she know
- What would she know
-
- Look over there there’s someone
- Ever so pleased with themselves
- Outstanding achievements litter their past
- And nobody cares
-
- They’re talking amongst themselves
- They’ve got all the books and they’ve got all the shelves
- The bodies are in their basement
- Treated with contempt by most of their children
- Most of their children sincerely despise them
-
- They say there ain’t no shame in being shameless
- If it pays the bills
- Monetizing hatred all day long
-
- Well it's the end of the road for me
- My story's already been told
- It's the end of the road for me
- Mrs Jones
-
- I got that greed
- I got that somnolence
- Maybe it’s a question of confidence
-
- Eyes wide open fast asleep
- I won't tell you any secrets
- That you can't keep
-
- It's the end of the road for me
- My story's already been told
- It's the end of the road for me
- Mrs Jones
-
-
-
-
- It's Alright
-
- It's alright it's alright
- From the Caribbean islands
- To the wide Pacific skies
-
- Hear Trenchtown sing
- No woman no cry
- Every little thing is gonna be alright
- Is gonna be alright
- Every little thing
-
- The rain still falls and the sun still shines
- The flowers bloom on the mountainside
- They somehow find a way to make it through
- Just like you
- Just like you're gonna do
-
- Every little thing
-
- It's alright it's alright
- From the misty mountain mornings
- To the city nights
- Running around just trying to stay alive
- Lord knows it ain't easy
-
- It's alright it's alright
- From the Caribbean islands
- To the wide Pacific skies
-
- Hear the reggae man sing
- No woman no cry
- Every little thing is gonna be alright
- Is gonna be alright
- Every little thing
- Every little thing is gonna be alright
-
-
-
- The Rule of Law
-
- So that's the way it is now
- You can't believe what anybody says now
- Y’all got an agenda everybody’s got a line
- It’s all some kind of power play
- And we’re all just seconds away
- From some kind of thought crime
-
- Closed ranks and off-shore banks
- Just a puddle hopper away from hiding it all
- You got the pilot and the gangster
- The accountant and the lawyer
- And they all got a politician in the pocket
- Of their tropical Shirt
- Gonna hide all the dirt
-
- They say they follow the money
- Yeah
- But never all the way down the line
- That’s where the sun never shines
- At the end of the line
-
- When the rule of law walks out the door
- The devil walks in
-
- And everyone’s corruptible and everyone’s a mule
- If it’s plausibly deniable
- Hell show me what the rule is
- It’s not that I don’t remember I simply can’t recall
- Doing seeing hearing saying anything at all
- I simply can’t recall
-
- When the rule of law walks out the door
- The devil walks in
-
- There ain’t no shame it’s just a game
- It all paid off you made it back to the top
- And you put all your guilt in a little old box
- And you hide it away
- But you see it in your eyes
- When you’re hiding in plain sight
- Plain enough for everyone to see
-
- The rule of law walked out the door
- And the devil walked in
- Yeah the rule of law walked out the door
- And the devil walked in
-
- Put his feet up
- And made himself at home
- Right at home
-
- So that’s the way it is now
- That’s the way it is now
-
-
-
- Capri
-
- I hear Monaco has lost its style
- Saint-Tropez ain't what it used to be
- Let’s not talk about Capri
- Let’s not talk about Capri
-
- Ah the season
- Rubbing shoulders with the tops and tails
- Champagne caviar and cream teas
- And all the crimes against humanity
-
- But there’ll always be a flask of tea
- For you and me
- Somewhere by the sea
- That’s all we’ll ever need
-
- Saint Moritz has lost its glitz
- Verbier’s so yesterday
- And Aspen’s just a shadow
- Of the place that it once was
-
- The Biennale is under water
- Cruise ship tsunami
- There ain’t no way to stop the slaughter
- It’s globalized
- Mediocrity
-
- But there’ll always be a flask of tea
- For you and me
- Somewhere by the sea
- That’s all we’ll ever need
-
- Yeah I hear Monaco has lost its style
- And Saint-Tropez ain't what it used to be
- Let’s not talk about Capri
- Let’s not talk about Capri
-
-
-
-
- How does it feel?
-
- The grass is always greener on the other side
- The grass is always greener on the other side
- Now you’re on the other side
- How does it feel right now
-
- There’s always one more mountain that you’re gonna want to climb
- It’s gonna be that way until the end of time
- Until you realize they’re only mountains in your mind
- How does it feel right now
-
- How does it feel
- How does it feel
- How does it feel right now
-
- Clock in clock out
- Twist and shout
- Tune in tune out
- All those years of saying
- That you knew what it was all about
- How does it feel right now
-
- You were oh so certain
- Oh so sure
- With your 20 20 vision
- Like you’d seen it all before
- Now any ounce of credibility
- Lies in tatters on the floor
- How does it feel right now
-
- How does it feel
- How does it feel
- How does it feel right now
-
- You got it coming man
- You know you do
- You’re running out of scoundrels who can squeeze you through
- The net is closing and there’s nothing you can do
- How does it feel right now
-
- How does it feel
- How does it feel
- How does it feel right now
-

- My Kentucky Friends
-
- I got a taste for the bourbon
- Not sure where it’s gonna lead
- I know I’m not charred in the same kind of fire
- But the grass may well be as green
-
- And I keep some songs for the angels
- I gotta believe that they care
- I sing my songs for the angels
- I know they’ll be getting their share
-
- And I keep a watch in the night
- And I drink my whiskey with ice
- I may be a fool but I’m keeping it cool
- With my Kentucky friends by my side
-
- Yeah I got a taste for the bourbon
- Blessed by the oak and the corn
- I can’t tell you much but some lessons I’ve learned
- I’ve been dying since the day I was born
-
- And I keep some songs for the angels
- I gotta believe that they care
- I sing my songs for the angels
- I know they’ll be getting their share
-
- And I keep a watch in the night
- And I drink my whiskey with ice
- I may be a fool but I’m keeping it cool
- With my Kentucky friends by my side
-
- I got a taste for the bourbon
- Not sure where it’s gonna lead
- I know I’m not charred in the same kind of fire
- But the grass may well be as green
-
- The bluegrass may well be as green
-
-
-
-
- On the Radio
-
- People talking on the radio
- Just like they’re supposed to do
- Cheerfully disguising all the sadness in their eyes
- That you can’t see
- On the radio
- On the radio
-
- Hold on to all the love you can get
- Hold on
- Hold on
- To all the love you can get
-
- As a red umbrella walks by
- As a red umbrella walks by
- Sometimes alone and sometimes side by side
- With other kinds of umbrella
-
- Hold on to all the love you can get
- Hold on
- Hold on
- To all the love you can get
-
- People talking on the radio
- Just like they’re supposed to do
- Cheerfully disguising all the sadness in their eyes
- That you can’t see
- On the radio
- On the radio
-
-
- The Tyranny of Certainty
-
- It’s dark sometimes
- Sometimes it’s dark
- You’re alone sometimes
- Sometimes you’re alone
-
- I’m crazy
- Crazy
- Crazy crazy crazy
-
- I’m crazy
- Crazy crazy crazy
-
- Can you see the light
- The light of the sun
- Can you hear the screams
- The screams of everyone
-
- I’m crazy
- Crazy
- Crazy crazy crazy
-
- I’m crazy
- Crazy crazy crazy
-
- With the tyranny of certainty
- Oh how happy you must be
-
- The call of the wild
- The wide open spaces
- With the mind of a child
- I go running to those places
-
- I’m crazy
- Crazy
- Crazy crazy crazy
-
- I’m crazy
- Crazy crazy crazy
-
- With the tyranny of certainty
- Oh how happy you must be
-
