I'll need tonight to sit and think about this
Think what to do
I'll take some strength to banish hollow sorrow
Hollow sorrow's nothing new
Just enough strength to last until tomorrow
Till I believe in my soul, till I believe in my soul

Tonight I lost sight of your purpose
Despite all this trickery you told me was right
I was such a good boy, I let you hold the door
So kind, so nice, where's my prize?

That's all there ever is
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
That's all there ever was
Oh yes, yes, yes
The same for everyone
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

That's all there ever is
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
That's all there ever was
Ah, you must be fucking joking
The same for everyone
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

Would you please repeat that, break this to me gently
Stand over there
Oh, I know I was an arrogant boy, I let you hold the door
So kind so nice, where's the

I believe in
I believe in
I believe, yes
I believe, yeah

I'm on the train from New Street to Euston
I'm going out to Harrow again
And I'm trying to get the feeling
That I had in nineteen seventy two
I'm saying, wait a minute there, wait a minute there
Hold it, stop, stop, let me get this clear

That's all there ever is
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
That's all there ever was
Oh yes, yes
The same for everyone
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

I know what this is, this is just the difference between
It's the battle between the body and the soul, the spirit
What I'm gonna do now is I'm going to punish my body
I'll punish the body to believe in the soul, I will punish
My body, until I believe in my soul
[Inaudible]

Yes, yes, yes, yes
Yes, yes, yes
I believe it's there

That's all there ever is
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
That's all there ever was
Oh yes, yes
The same for everyone
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

That's all there ever is
That's all there ever was
The same for everyone
Yes, yes, yes
That's all there ever is
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

Pure, this must be, it has to be.
Pure, let's make this pure,
(Do you mean it?) Yes I do,
(Then let's sing it) Certainly, but
First bare your hearts and cleanse your souls
(And then?) Let's try and make this precious, like this.
Let's make this precious.
We're striving over here
(Ever nearer?) I think so
(Visions clearer) of course, of course.
But still we must forsake all to win
(All temptation?) everything (for salvation?) now you're talking
Then let this apply to all we do
(And then?) Our striving will guide us
And somehow I think that we'll win.
Let's make this precious,
First let's hear somebody sing me a record
That cries pure and true.
No not those guitars. They're too noisy and crude.
The kind that convinces refuses to leave,
There's no need to turn it up.
If it's pure I'll feel it from here
Let's make this precious, (I think we probably will)
Let's make this precious, (I think we probably will)

Jackie Wilson said it was reet petite
I kind of love you
Yes it knocks me off my feet
Let it all come down
Oh let it all come down
And you know I'm so wired up
I don't need any more tea in my cup
Let it all come down
Oh let it all come down
Now watch this
Toodle langa langa Toodle langa fang
Toodle langa langa Toodle langa fang
I'm in heaven
I'm In heaven
I'm In heaven when you smile
And when you walk across the street
It makes my heart go boom boom boom,
Let It all come down
And every time I stop to think about It
Well little child you simply make my day
Let It all come down
Oh let It all come down
Toodle langa langa Toodle langa fang
Toodle langa langa Toodle langa fang
I'm In heaven
I'm in heaven
I'm in heaven when you smile

Old have memories to keep all cold away.
What is that you say?
No sense to dwell.
Old, are you ridiculed and fumed away,
No attention paid?
I thought as much. Yes and the dumb patriots have their say,
Only see their way.
Nothing to sell.
And worse from us, so obvious,
Preposterous, when you think of the time that each has spent.
Words heaven sent and truly meant to show
Old, may I sit down here and learn today?
I'll hear all you say.
I won't go away

You've always been searching for something
But everything seems so so-so
Tightly close your eyes
Hold out your hand
We'll make a stand
Forget their plans
and their demands
PLAN B
They're testing you - but don't worry
PLAN B
This week I'm strong enough for two
I'm coming
I'm running
I'm burning
I wouldn't sell you anything
It starts off just joking
and then they stop talking to you
and that's the worst thing of all
The worst thing of all
Whispers more than loud enough
Try to make you feel not good enough
Try this
Don't believe your eyes
Hold out your hand
We'll make a stand
Forget their plans
and their demands
PLAN B
Bill Withers was good to me
PLAN B
Pretend I'm Bill and lean on me
I'm coming
I'm running
I'm burning
I wouldn't sell you anything
PLAN B
Hold on to me
PLAN B
No don't be nervous. Just trust in me
I'm coming
I'm running
I'm burning
I wouldn't sell you anything

Nobody tells you. You end up knowing
Bad habits: you should sleep alone
Open to suggestions, is that the way you feel?
'Cos you're the voice of experience, every word
You choose sweet stolen info' you must never lose
Until you're so secure in your habitat familiar
But you won't want from me
There's nothing else to see
Try smoking your own and don't look at me.
No need to explain it, just order dresses
Bad habits: you really shouldn't keep.
Quick nip next door to the vendor of charisma
Because the time, the place and the mood is right
And good old Kevin'll be all right
Here comes ''His Soul

Come on Eileen
Come on Eileen

Poor old Johnny Ray
Sounded sad upon the radio,
He moved a million hearts in mono
Our mothers cried,
Sang along, who'd blame them?

You've grown (you're grown up)
so grown (so grown up)
Now I must say more than ever (come on Eileen)
Toora Loora Toora Loo-Rye Aye
And we can sing just like our fathers

Come on Eileen, oh I swear (well he means)
At this moment, you mean everything.
You in that dress, my thoughts, I confess
Verge on dirty
Ah come on Eileen

Come on Eileen

These people round here, wear beaten
down eyes sunk in
smoke, dried faces, so
resigned to what their fate is

But not us, (no never) no not us (no never)
We are far too young and clever (remember)
Go Toora Loora Toora Loo-Rye-Aye
Eileen, I'll hum this tune forever

Come on Eileen. Oh I swear (well he means)
Ah come on let's, take off everything
That pretty red dress, Eileen (tell him yes)
Ah come on let's, ah come on Eileen
That pretty red dress, Eileen (tell him yes)
Ah come on let's, ah come on Eileen, please


(Come on, Eileen taloo-rye-aye
Come on, Eileen taloo-rye-aye)
Now you are grown, now you have shown
Oh, Eileen

Said come on Eileen, these things they are real
And I know how you feel
Now I must say more than ever
Things 'round here will change. I said
Too-ra-loo-ra too-ra-loo-rye-aye

Come on Eileen, Oh I swear (well he means)
At this moment, you mean everything
You in that dress, my thoughts (I confess)
Verge on dirty
Ah come on Eileen

Come on Eileen, oh I swear (well he means)
At this moment, you mean everything
(in that dress), whoa, my thoughts I confess
Well, they're dirty
Come on Eileen
