D'You Know What I Mean?


D'You Know What I Mean?

Step off the train all alone at dawn
Back into the hole where I was born
The sun in the sky never raised an eye to me
The blood on the trax and must be mine
The fool on the hill and I feel fine
Don't look back cos you know what you might see

Look into the wall of my mind's eye
I think I know, but I don't know why
The questions are the answers you might need
Coming in a mess going out in style
I ain't good-looking but I'm someone's child
No-one can give me the air that's mine to breathe

I met my maker
I made him cry
And on my shoulder he asked me why
His people won't fly through the storm
I said "Listen up man, they don't even know you're born"

All my people right here, right now
D'You Know What I Mean?
All my people right here, right now
D'You Know What I Mean?
All my people right here, right now
D'You Know What I Mean?
Yeah, yeah

I don't really care for what you believe
So open up your fist or you won't receive
The thoughts and the words of every man you'll need
Get up off the floor and believe in life
No-one's ever gonna ever ask you twice
Get on the bus and bring it on home to me


Stay Young

One way out is all you're ever gonna get
From those who'll hand it out don't never let it upset you
Cos they'll put words into our mouths they're making us feel so ashamed

Making us take the blame
Making us cold in the night
Making us question my heart and soul
And I think that it's not quite right

Hey! stay young and invincible
Cos we know just what we are
And come what may we're unstoppable
Cos we know just what we are

Feed your head with all the things you need
When you're hungry
Stay in bed and sleep all day as long as it's Sunday
Cos they'll put words into your mouth they're making you feel so ashamed


Angel Child

Take me ... won't you take me to the edge of night
And make me ... walk into the night
And there'll be no eyes ...
No eyes that seen such beauty would lose their sight
And there'll be no lies
No lies that you could tell me would make things right

Cos I gave all my money to people and things
And the price in still playing and the shit that it brings
Doesn't fill me with hope for the songs that you sing
Tonight this is your life
Angel child (of mine)

When you find out ... when you find out who you are you know
You'll be free ... to free your own ability
And there'll be no eyes ...
No eyes that seen such beauty would lose their sight
And there'll be no lies
No lies that you could tell me
Would make things right


Heroes

I,I wish I could swim
Just like a dolphin
Like dolphins can swim

'Cause nothing is gonna keep us together
But we can beat them forever and ever
'Cause we can be heroes just for one day

I,I will be king
And you
You're gonna be my queen

Yeah but nothing is gonna drive us away
'Cause we can be heroes just for one day
Now we're gonna be ourselves just for one day

I,I can remember
When I was standing
By the wall

And with their guns they shot over our heads
And then we kissed
As though nothing could fall

Well but the shame yeah the shame was on their side
But we're gonna beat them forever and ever
'Cause we can be heroes just for one day
