What a Beautiful Day

[Chorus]
What a beautiful day,
I'm the king of all time,
And nothing is impossible,
In my all powerful mind.

Was on the fifth of November,
When time it went back,
Some say that that's impossible,
But you and I, we never looked back,
And wasn't it incredible,
So beautiful and above all,
Just to see the fuse get lit this time, 
To light a real bonfire for all time.

[Chorus]

I was drinking in my nightclub,
It felt good to be back,
When Hepburn said, "I love you",
And Flynn said, "Make mine a double, Jack"
Was then we planned the revolution,
To make things better for all time,
When Guevara said "That's crazy",
And ordered up a bottle of wine.

[Chorus]

[Chorus]

In there on the big screen,
Every night I've seen,
The way all things could be,
For me,
For me, for me, for me.

The news broke after midnight,
That we'd pulled the temples down without a sound,
But the generals they were hiding,
And the ministers, well, they'd all gone to ground,
Wealth re-distribution,
Became the new solution,
So I got a paper bag,
But you got the one with all the holes.

[Chorus]

What a beautiful day,       (what a beautiful day)
I'm the king of all time,   (it's a beautiful day)
And nothing is impossible,  (it's a beautiful,   )
In my all powerful mind.    (it's a beautiful day)
Oh yeah, 
Nothing is impossible       (it's a beautiful,   )
In my all powerful mind.    (it's a beautiful day)
That's because,
Nothing is impossible,
In my all powerful mind.

Bar Room Jury

Every body knows the story
They've got the details, What the score is
But if you want the truth, girl,
I'll take more than a day

You'll need to move a little closer
These walls have ears if you didn't know, girl.
There's certain things you need to know,
Before you go on your way.

It seems the world is a little busy
Selling lives on for a living.
And in the blinking of an eye,
The true hurt slips away.

And the writing's written on the wall,
For everyone to see.

It lives on even though you think it's dead and gone.
The legacy it leaves begind was never easy never kind.
It lives on even though you think it's dead and gone.
The legacy it leaves behind was never one to mind.

Moving on to the next installment,
Case the barroom jury dies of boredom.
The vultures are a-waiting 
For the next meal of the day.

Another tale so sad and sorry 
About another love that went so wrong.
And on the inside guts and glory, 
That pushed it all along.

It's hard to find any words to say, 
You just let the days go by come what may.
And all the things that we should have done,
That just happened anyway.

And the writing's written on the wall,
For everyone to see.

It lives on even though you think it's dead and gone.
The legacy it leaves begind was never easy never kind.
It lives on even though you think it's dead and gone.
The legacy it leaves behind was never one to mind.

All Your Dreams

Jesus, Mother, Mary, God,
All of you who cliam to know the soul,
What's your view?
Let me take you by the hand,
Show how it isn't planned,
What they say about you.

People who wander blindly following all manner of false illusions,
In the search for truth.

Let me take you by the hand,
Hope that you might understand,
What's in front of you.

And I hope that all your dreams,
All of your dreams,
All your dreams will come true.
And I hope that all your dreams,
All of your dreams,
All your dreams will come true.

Jesus, Mother, Mary, God,
All of you who cliam to know the soul,
What's their view?
Let me take you by hand,
Show how the it's all been planned,
Despite the things you do.

And the millions following blindly all manner of false illusion,
??? let them suffer in shame.
??????? below,
So much better and it's right
All this in your name

And I hope that all your dreams,
All of your dreams,
All your dreams will come true.
And I hope that all your dreams,
All of your dreams,
All your dreams will come true.

Jesus, Mother, Mary, God,
All of you who claim to know the soul,
What's your view?
Let me take you by the hand,
Show you that the futures planned,
No matter what you do.

By people who wander blindly with no reason and no direction,
With bloodstains on their hands.

Let me take you by the hand,
Show you how it isn't bad,
What's in front of you.

And I hope that all your dreams
All of your dreams
All your dreams will come true.
And I hope that all your dreams
All of your dreams
All your dreams will come true.

Price Of Love

Wine is sweet, and Gin is bitter,
You drink all you can, but you wont forget her.
You talk too much, you laugh too loud,
You see her face in every cloud,

[Chorus]
That's the price of love, the price of love,
A debt you pay with tears and pain.
That's the price of love, the price of love,
It costs you more when you're to blame.

Kiss a girl, and kiss another,
Kiss some more, but you wont recover.
You're danceing slow, you're danceing fast,
You're happy now, but that wont last,

[Chorus]

[Chorus]

Hang On To Your Ego

I know too many people
Who think they can go it alone,
Isolate their heads,
And stay in their safty zone,

What can you tell them?
What can you say that wont make them defensive?

Hang on to your ego,
Hang on cos I know you're going to lose the fight.

They come home like their peaceful,
But inside they are so uptight.
They trip through the day,
And waste all their thoughts at night.

How can I say it?
How can I come on,
When I know I'm guilty?

Hang on to your ego,
Hang on, cos I know you're going to lose the fight.
Hang on to your ego,
Hang on, cos I know you're going to lose the fight.

How can I say it,
How can I come on,
When I know I'm guilty?

Hang on to your ego,
Hang on, cos I know you're going to lose the fight.
Hang on to your ego,
Hang on, cos I know you're going to lose the fight.

Germ Free Adolescence

I know your antiseptic,
Your deodourant smells nice,
I'd like to get to know you,
But you're deep frozen like ice,

[Chorus]
He's a germ free adolescent,
Clenliness is her obsession,
Cleans her teeth ten times a day,
Scrub away, scrub away, scrub away,
The s.r. way.

And you may get to touch her,
If your gloves are sterilised,
Rinse your mouth with listerine,
Blow disinfectant in her eyes.

[Chorus]

Her phobia is infection,
She needs one to survive,
It's her inbuilt protection,
Without fear she'd give up and die.

He's a germ free adolescent,
Clenliness is her obsession,
He's a germ free adolescent,
Clenliness is her obsession,
He's a germ free adolescent,
Clenliness is her obsession,
Cleans her teeth ten times a day,
Scrub away, scrub away, scrub away,
The s.r way.
