‘Side One, Song One’ Lyrics

’24 More’ Lyrics

Well I did not know which way to go, I had so many ways to turn
Did not know what I should know, I had so many things to learn
I was high every day and every night (it’s not right)

Oh no, Oh no, I’ve got 24 more to go, Oh no, Oh no, I’ve got 24 more to go
I’ve got 24 more to go, and I didn’t even let her know
I’ve got 24 more to go in the morning

Well I did not know my right from wrong, I had so many ways to turn
Did not know the words to all the songs I had to learn
I was crawling around on the ground all the time ( all mine)

Oh no, Oh no, I’ve got 24 more to go, Oh no, Oh no, I’ve got 24 more to go
I’ve got 24 more to go, and I didn’t even tell her so
I’ve got 24 more to go in the meantime

And life is strange for me now
And life is strange for me now

Oh no, I’ve got 24 more to go (*4)
24 more to go.

‘Three Weak Words’ Lyrics

Love is a free bird, say these three weak words and you know that I’ll feel o.k.
Oh, love is a free bird, won’t you let your singing heart out of its cage.

And if you need someone to talk to, you can always talk to me.
If you need someone to see, see me, see me
I’m just trying to be more like how you would like me to be
there’s a picture of you in my heart, and it’s a picture of you folding up a picture of me.

CHORUS

Love is a feeling, love is a word, love is a sentence or something you
thought you read about or heard or felt along the way.
And I’m so happy ‘cos you’re so happy we’re all so happy now.
We can fight our way through happiness somehow, somehow, somehow.

CHORUS

‘Little Things’ Lyrics

Some people say, the best things in life are for free.
But that dont mean much to me.
Some people say the best things in life cost so little
but they all add up to me

And those little things add up
Yeah those little things add up
I tried and I tried not to let that girl inside of my mind
But she bore through the skin and bone, and now she’s always in my eyes and I know why
And the skeleton grin was no disguise
seeing life ever clearer, through the darkly spinning skies

And all the carbon debris spinning round in space, rearranging ever changing,
actions forming like the solar winds that howl through the distance in this space between us now.
Another starlight dies.

CHORUS

And even if they want you, you know the way, some people live their lives.
Ever wanting everything to change, but stay the same they never realise.
And you got something you need to say, but they never look your way
always needing someone right now, but never needing you.
And you got short changed on the inside, never ever wanted be on the outside
Take the things you can and get away, away away.

But those little things add up….

CHORUS

Finally magnificent, she radiated from the sun.

‘Theme From The Dead’ Lyrics

Well I’ve got this way of living and I dont know why
Just like I’ve been hatched from an egg or maybe fell from the sky
And they’ve got trouble in the waters baby,
They’ve got trouble in the sky
And I don’t live for tomorrow
And there’s trouble in these eyes

It’s a captive role reversal and you’ve given me time,
and I’ve loved the tightrope act and all the fire in your mind
But there’s bones inside this alien skin of mine.
Never wanting, who to go to, but there’s rest in the sun, and holding and wanting never hurt anyone.
And a few of the children that you see are ghosts these days.
These days…

It’s the Quick and the Dead, and they’re all in your mind,
so get out of your head and leave youre troubles behind
And they’re constantly evolving, and they’re changing every time you close your eyes.
You take the trouble to the gutter baby, you cut the problem down to size

And we never had a problem but the worlds gone wrong,
and the trouble in the sky that meant the sun was soon gone.
And we drowned in the knowledge that we learned that day ( from the glacial brigade)
It’s just a perfect combination of the still and the sane,
and its not like you’re crazy, but we think its a shame
That the way we all feel that you should be is not the same anymore.
And you’ve changed.

And you’re painting all the walls of the house that you built stone grey
Its the Quick and the Dead baby,
There’s trouble in the air, and trouble in the sky and on the way
its the Quick and the Dead, baby now.
