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

Oh What A World
03:12
|

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

She ain't no damsel in distress
because she ran and hid, yeah
Shape up and, wake up
Well a Super hero man ain't nothing to aim for

I Don't Wanna Be Friends
02:26
|
|||
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

One Instead Of Two
04:25

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...
