Ten Years 04:34
Gazing up at the sky Watching the clouds drift by Wonder where I'll be in ten years' time Will I be here? Will I be there? Will I be, anywhere? Will I still be alive? Will I be stuck in the same old town? Will I be living it up in the city? Will I be living in a quiet little village, With the love of my life? I don't know, I can't know I couldn't possibly comment All I can do is count the time But I know, yes I know I could keep telling myself that, Ten years is a long long time. Sitting back on the grass Feeling it grow between my toes Wonder where I'll be in five years' time. Will I be rich? Will I be poor? Will I be, sleeping in a doorway? Will I have my own four walls? Will I be stuck in the same old town? Will I be living it up in the city? Will I be living in a quiet little village, With the love of my life? I don't know, I can't know I couldn't possibly comment All I can do is count the time But I know, yes I know I could keep telling myself that, Five years is a long long time. Stepping out on the stage I can hear the sound of drums Wonder where I'll be in one years' time Will I be here? Will I be there? I don't know and I don't care As long as I survive. I don't know, I can't know I couldn't possibly comment All I can do is count the time But I know, yes I know I could keep telling myself that, One year is a long long time Five years is a long long time Ten years is a long, long time.

I'm so scared, yeah I'm all alone Can't call you up, they've tapped my phone Can't leave the house, they're outside Waiting for me, so, I'd better just hide You talk too much, yeah a hell of a lot You say the wrong thing, so they call up the cops That's what you get, for airing your views As a Rock & Roll Hero on the six o'clock news They ask me 'bout the world and what I think of it I said, the system, is the pits The rich get the goods and the poor get had It's the kind of thing that makes you really mad You talk too much, yeah a hell of a lot They ask me what you want, I said: "What have you got?" Don't be surprised, when they start to sue A Rock & Roll Hero on the six o'clock news You talk too much, yeah a hell of a lot You say the wrong thing, so they call up the cops That's what you get, for airing your views As a Rock & Roll Hero on the six o'clock news Rock & Roll Hero on the six o'clock news x 3

I don’t know why, it made me cry but it did So I kept myself quiet, I stayed inside and I hid Oh what a world for a lonely girl I don’t think anyone has felt this way before, but Oh my goodness what do I do about you Talking to you, it made me feel blue, but no more Should have known you were false, the moment you waltzed through my door Oh what a joy to be hurt by a boy And now it seems I’m coming back for more, but Oh my goodness what do I do about you I don’t know why, it made me cry but it did So I kept myself quiet I stayed inside and I hid Oh what a world for a lonely girl I don’t think anyone has felt this way before, but Oh my goodness what do I do about you...

Selfie Song 02:04
So let's all take a selfie la la la If you take a selfie you'll go far You'll travel all across the world Like millions and billions of other girls You can even take a selfie in your bra Let's all take a selfie la la lo It's like you are the star of your own show I know this trend is not a menace If you're sort of photogenic Maybe one day I'll give it a go There's nothing wrong with being photographed I've had a few myself and they're a laugh But I really think it should be made a crime To stand there taking selfies all the time So let's all take a selfie la la la Like that time you took a selfie in your bra I showed it to all of my friends you never spoke to me again So we had a selfie with your selfie ha ha ha There's nothing wrong with being photographed I've had a few myself and they're a laugh But I really think it should be made a crime To stand there taking selfies all the time. Send all of your selfies on Snapchat And if you can't then do it on WhatsApp And if you really really want people to look Then you can shove them on Facebook And you can take a selfie... Just like that

Too Late 04:10
Friday night: He's out on the town That's the only time he can act like a clown Girls at the bar, he buys one a drink He's in with a chance. Or that's what he thinks He's spending all his money Why should he not touch his daily bread? In the corner of his drunken mind, He remembers just what his parents said: "Save it for your wedding!" "Save it for your wedding!" Too Late! Saturday: At Five AM Love's young dream, says hello once again Sits up, with a pain in her head And he cannot wait, 'til she's out of his bed She's gonna go to the supermarket, buy herself a bag of frozen peas As she stops along the road, She's made to talk to the local priest Talks about the birds and bees And when to use the thing between her knees: "Save it for your Wedding!" "Save it for your Wedding...Night!" Too Late! x 3 Nine months later, there's a knock on the door When he opens it up, it's that chick from before Hands him a basket, along with a note Saying, this is what happens when you say: "Get your coat!" Early on a, Sunday afternoon Daddy's feeding a baby that he's had too soon Now they're getting married Now they're getting married

Everybody say "Hooray!" Won't you? He'll save the damsel in distress and make her feel more depressed Won't you?

Well you tell me you don't want the kind of things that I want Well that's not exactly news that I wanted to hear 'Cause I don't haunt, or lurk, or shirk 'cause I'm not a jerk Like the guys who've messed you around That's not why I'm here, and I hope that it ends 'Cause I don't wanna be friends I wanna be be more I don't wanna be friends I wanna be more Well when we have a drink I think that everything's fine But I can probably see you've got a lot on your mind But you make it all worthwhile, when you start to smile And words start pouring out of our mouths And I hold you near, and I tell you again How I don't wanna be friends I wanna be be more I don't wanna be friends I wanna be more If you'd let me in Into your heart and under your skin Bring me your pain so I can lighten your load Before we trip and laugh in the road And I am falling down, like a house of cards In a hurricane, and I don't know, If I can pretend That I don't wanna be friends I wanna be more I don't wanna be friends I wanna be more I don't want this to end I don't wanna be friends I don't wanna be friends I don't wanna be friends I wanna be more I don't wanna be friends I wanna be more I wanna be yours

Saturday Afternoon, on the Barbecue Tasting strange flavours, on the patio Watching the clouds a mysterious red While snowflake dreams, drift in and out of my head And it all comes out in the end On a Sunday Morning, just after ten And it all comes out in the end, yeah Thoughts are running through my mind As the sun comes down, I watch it shine I'm walking on air but I can't understand It's all in my head, and that I'm still on land And it all comes out in the end On a Sunday Morning, just after ten And it all comes out in the end, yeah I awake the next day, as if from a dream I check out my head, there's nothing wrong with me But I get this feeling, deep inside My stomach's in knots and I run outside And it all comes out in the end On a Sunday morning, just after ten And it all comes out in the end The End

A Tramp to some, A Princess to me Straight out of my head, the girl of my dreams She sleeps in the toilets, at Swansea Quadrant Getting her clothes from wherever she can Twice a week she scrubs up at the local Y-M Gets given a meal and then she's on the streets again I asked her out on a whim and a prayer ...She took ages to answer but then she said "Yeah" So we went for a walk and we started to talk about things Then we went to a pub and I offered to get her a drink Two days later, on our second date I walk behind, while she roller skates She told me her life had been once filled with art 'Til a man came along and blew it apart I took her to mine, hoping that face Would fit in a place not in my life She told me she couldn't: "It's not fair on you" "You can't look after me, and you know it too" So we went to my bed and we stayed up and talked until three Then she turned off the light and said: "Nos da" to me When I awoke something was wrong My girl and her roller skates had gone I looked all around thinking it was a dream But, when I looked in my bed, well it couldn't have been 'Cause I looked in my bed, guess what I saw? It was a picture of us that she had drawn A picture of us that I now hold quite dear, Of us holding hands on the Mumbles Pier Of us holding hands on the Mumbles Pier

I've never been blessed with romantic success Every time I've tried it's just made me feel depressed But I just keep on trying 'cause I owe it to myself Let's get together so you can put me on your shelf But, I won't be ignored I'm not a chore for when your bored You know it's true, We'll be better off as one instead of two. So don't be shy, tell that guy Tell him anything you want, just don't leave him wonder why You just keep lying 'cause you think that it's all done Stop making excuses and start having fun 'Cause I won't fall apart. So stop toying with my heart 'Til it's black and blue, We'll be better of as one instead of ...Too many people Trying to tell me what is what You keep reminding me and acting like it's me who's forgot So tell me Brenda, what's the Agenda? Why don't you just be my friend I won't be ignored I'm not a chore for when your bored You know it's true I won't fall apart So stop toying with my heart 'Til it's black and blue We'll be better of as one instead of two So are you scared? Scared of what you'll find If you care to look, Deep in your mind Are you ashamed? Ashamed of what you feel, Is it all too much? Can you just not deal? Well you'll never know now, no No you'll never know now, no (So are you scared?) No you'll never know now, no (Scared of what you'll find) No you'll never know now, no (If you care to look) No you'll never know now, no (Deep in your mind) No you'll never know now, no...
