Holy Water 05:17
lyrics
buy track
Give me a dose of the holy water Helps me to sleep now the nights are shorter Hold me back from a life spend in the shade All those promises you made To change your way of life Give me a dose of the holy water Have you been back lately? Give me a dose of the holy water Leave me to drink to my daily quota There’s never smoke without fire there’s never heat Without drink you couldn’t eat Couldn’t think you couldn’t breathe Give me a dose of the holy water Have you been back lately? Each move across the border Leaves another day of common sense behind Another piece of mind goes wanting The living picture is broader And it’s moving on as you leave yourself behind Another mind, see your face in the water Can you picture yourself? Give me a dose of the holy water Helps me to sleep now the nights are shorter Hold me back from a life spend in the shade All those promises you made To change your way of life Give me a dose of the holy water Have you been back lately? Have you been back lately? Have you been back lately?

Danzuker 04:03
lyrics

Water on the doorstep Ripen up a Jersey cow I don’t believe in Danzuker I’d rather be a sugar lump Melt into a hot cup Float across a camomile I don’t believe in Danzuker Danzuker You know what I’m on about Who bothers with tea in a coffee house? Oo ooh I’m as Chinese as I’m wurst and sauerkraut But you’re selling me out Freaky little two step Preaching to my grandfather He’ll never be a Danzuker He’s regimental sugar lump Jack he is a fruitcake Is he just a little queer? He’d rather be a Danzuker Danzuker You know what I’m on about Who bothers with tea in a coffee house? Oo ooh I’m as Chinese as I’m doner kebab But you’re selling me out Humour me for God’s sake You think I’m scared to move forward But I don’t believe in Danzuker Danzuker, you know what I’m on about Danzuker, you know what I’m on about Danzuker, you know what I’m on about

What I Know 03:05
lyrics

Breezed into a water hole in Wimbledon Cross legged with the flock you sit and sway Ooh but the shock, as you see my face I look in your eyes and watch as your head goes down Ooh la la la la la Ooh what I know Ooh la la la la la Spaced out like a bum don’t make you different Your silver spoon and your tongue give you away Ooh but you try and you try so hard I look in your eyes and watch as your head goes down Ooh la la la la la Ooh what I know Ooh la la la la la Lets go Ooh what I know Pale heads that bear clip-on dreads bewilder me Be cool but don’t fool yourself like that Ooh cos I know that there’s something wrong I look in your eyes and watch as your head goes down Ooh la la la la la Ooh what I know Ooh la la la la la Lets go Ooh what I know

Here on the street I’m afraid of nothing Loosen the lead I’m a live go-getter Taking a ride form myself Walking astride singing Rice/Lloyd Webber One more bone And I’ll be alone Sunning myself Sunning myself Buying the kids on Christmas morning Gratis of hand-out’s and old ladies pensions Stealing a thought from your mind Leaving a card of condolence behind Under a stone I’ll be alone Sunning myself Sunning myself Good on my feet and I don’t mind bad weather Know all the tricks think I’ll join the Police Force Become a law unto myself Lying in bed with a hat on my head Out on my own One happy clone

Something v Nothing 07:08
lyrics

Something or nothing Nothing at all I'll be the one Who'll be the one to take it all Cos I'll come and find you I'll search deep inside I know where you hide i've been there before in my own life Something or nothing We play by the rules I'll be the one so you'll be the one who'll never lose Something is better It promises hope Pouring the sun and water Where little blossoms grow Something is precious Surrounded by stone Filled with all kinds of magic We might have never known Nothing is gone Consigned to the past Together we'll build a future And make forever last Something or nothing Something or Nothing Something or Nothing We'll be the ones to take it all Something or nothing Something or nothing Something or nothing We'll be the ones to take it all Something or nothing Something or nothing Something or nothing We'll be the ones to take it all Something or nothing Something or nothing Something or nothing Something or nothing Something or nothing Nothing at all I'll be the one Who'll be the one to take it all Something or nothing Something or nothing Something or nothing We'll be the ones to take it all Something or nothing Something or nothing Something or nothing We'll be the ones to take it all Something or nothing Something or nothing Something or nothing Something or nothing

Moving in Circles 02:41
lyrics

Find me a space Away from the money Far from the dust The houses and crowds Float me above ‘til the party comes back again Bruce is a nut He spent all his money In barbers, on suits And chrome for the wheels Red white and blue As we ride through the town at ten It’s gonna be alright We’re moving in circles Round and around ‘til the party comes back Alright We’re moving in circles Round and around ‘til the party comes back Follow the sun Out of the city Forming a tail Through Sussex we coast The place with the buzz Where we always come back again The sense is sublime I’m just seventeen The beach is a coat A fountain of green I’m part of a scene And a face amongst friends again It’s gonna be alright We’re moving in circles Round and around ‘til the party comes back Alright We’re moving in circles Round and around ‘til the party comes back It’s gonna be alright We’re moving in circles Round and around ‘til the party comes back Alright We’re moving in circles Round and around ‘til the party comes back

This Way (The Right Way) 04:21

I know that this way, that you say Is the right way I know that this way, that you say Is the right way Oh, and if you're dreaming Its much better if you close your eyes Oh, and if you're leaning Thank God you're not centralized And oh, and if you're feeling Well thank the Lord because you're alive Oh, if you're believing Its much better than real life I'm walking round in casualty with blood on my hands Around me are familiar signs I don't understand A sip from the water fountain cleanses my soul I look for the exit now I'm under control because.... I know that this way, that you say Is the right way I know that this way, that you say Is the right way Oh and if you're dancing Its much better than working out Oh and if you're resigning Its much better than kissing arse I know, yes I know, that this way, that you say Is the right way I know, yes I know, that this way, that you say Is the right way Oh and if you're dancing Its much better than working out Oh and if you're resigning Its much better than kissing arse I know that this way, that you say Is the right way.

For all this time You;ve been much more than a friend to me More than a girl You’ve been a fortress around me And I am to you So tell me how it is we can make the clear waters cloudy Baby, ooh, you’’ve got to say it now And we might just make it or the chance will pass us by Call it what it is (it’s love) Call it what it is We may never get a better chance to make it babe You’d better show me what it means Call it what it is (it’s love) Call it what it is It only takes a second now for a lifetime together So let’s start from now, uh huh, yeah, yeah. For all this time (you tell me) You kept a light on inside you And it burns like fire So call it what it is this is more than desire Call it what it is (it’s love) Call it what it is It only takes a second now for a lifetime together So let’s start from now, uh huh, yeah, yeah. Call it what it is (it’s love) Call it what it is It only takes a second now for a lifetime together So let’s start from now, uh huh, yeah, yeah.

You are the one who strikes my senses You are the one who makes life fair You are the one who’ll climb a mountain with me You are the one who’s always there You are the strongest of foundations Someone I’m desperate to impress You are the one who gives me all that I need You are the one who’s always there Oh my love you’re like gold dust to me Oh my love you’re like gold dust to me Oh my love you’re like gold dust guiding me Always driving me onwards, onwards You are the one who makes things happen You are the one who makes me brave You can accept me with all the faults that I bear You are the one who’s always there Oh my love you’re like gold dust to me Oh my love you’re like gold dust to me Oh my love you’re like gold dust guiding me Always driving me onwards, onwards Oh my love you’re like gold dust to me Oh my love you’re like gold dust to me Oh my love you’re like gold dust guiding me Always driving me onwards, onwards You are the one who makes me happy You are the one who makes me late You are the one who shares my pain and despair You are the one who’s always there Oh my love you’re like gold dust to me Oh my love you’re like gold dust to me Oh my love you’re like gold dust guiding me Always driving me onwards, onwards
