It's time to tear this place down
I've got the last gig on my mind
Not seen my friends in ages
Have I been left behind?
It's time to figure out why
I find myself in custody
With each and every question
Words come so easily

Fly to El Salvador
I don't know why and I don't know
what for
I've seen the picture for myself
Where did that label go?
I tried it out but it didn't work so
I'll choose the picture for myself

It's time to start all over
Take only one thing spare to wear
Head for the check-in lights and
Get up into the air
It's time to take new measures
Someone will put us up tonight
Far from our place of rest I've
Almost got you in sight

Fly to El Salvador
I don't know why and I don't know
what for
I've seen the picture for myself
Where did that label go?
I tried it out but it didn't work so
I'll choose the picture for myself

First class and big hotels
(I can't quite put my finger on it)
Videos and global sales
(I can't quite put my finger on it)
"Free" drinks that you pay yourself
(I can't quite put my finger on it)

Fly to El Salvador
I don't know why and I don't know
what for
I've seen the picture for myself
Where did that label go?
I tried it out but it didn't work so
I'll choose the picture for myself

All the energetic people they all
sparkle as they're walking down the
street
Can't see their faces but I've noticed
that they seem to have big hands
The stage is set, is there glamour,
who's got my Etnies?

Now you know that I can see you
and you know that it is easy
To see me something has been on
my mind, something has struck me
Kind of odd, look out for quicksand,
there is high ground
Who wants this rockscene?

We sing
Whenever you look you can see that
everybody wants to be part of the
rockscene
Whenever you look you can see that
everybody wants to be part of the
rockscene

Now the time has come and yeah the
show it must stay strong
And are we all part of the latest
craze or is this how we mend our
ways
And I can hear the taxi calling, telling
me we haven't left yet.
As the lights go on with emptiness
and how you seem to stand out
In a crowd you raise the tempo in
the disco as you make this place
your own
The stage is set, is there glamour,
I'm in this rockscene

CHORUS!
Whenever you look you can see that
everybody wants to be part of the
rockscene
Whenever you look you can see that
everybody wants to be part of the
rockscene
Whenever you look you can see that
everybody wants to be part of the
rockscene
Whenever you look you can see that
everybody wants to be part of the
rockscene

House on the rock
Surely it will last forever?
House on the rock
Don't you know it's now or never?
House on the rock
Surely it will last forever?
House on the rock

CHORUS!
Whenever you look you can see that
everybody wants to be part of the
rockscene
Whenever you look you can see that
everybody wants to be part of the
rockscene
Whenever you look you can see that
everybody wants to be part of the
rockscene
Whenever you look you can see that
everybody wants to be part of the
rockscene

When when when when whenever,
rock scene! (repeat)

There was just one
At the top of a pile of one million
And she hasn't got a clue that she's
become
A good samaritan
I missed her name
Before I blinked from the scene she'd
run away
If I got the chance to meet her once
again
What would I hear her say?

It was just one of those things
I needed to deal with
It was just one of those things
It was just one of those things
I needed to deal with

There was just one
At the top of a pile of one million
And there's no way of counting all I
lost
What was I thinking of?
As it kicked off
I kept myself to myself and looked
away
Should've put my foot in but I just
stayed
Wrapped up in my own world

It was just one of those things
I needed to deal with
It was just one of those things
It was just one of those things
I needed to deal with

There was just one
At the top of a pile of one million
And she will be there for many years
to come
Wondering where I am

It was just one of those things
I needed to deal with
It was just one of those things
It was just one of those things
That I should've dealt with
It was just one of those things

(This is just one of those things
You needed to deal with
This is just one of those things
This is just one of those things
You needed to deal with
This is just one of those things)

(This is just one of those things
You needed to deal with
This is just one of those things
You needed to deal with)

Lives in Edinburgh
Just across the road
Sometimes my stereo
And in my aching bones
Its on the sugar hill
And in your ring tone

Shake those windows
Sums and songs and
Beats and rhymes
And I like this blackout
It just helps to
Love those clear night skies

Just let the record play
And bring it back again
You can’t appreciate
What we were into then

In two seconds
He was recognised
And all the old school heads
Nodded back in time
And though we just met
I’ve known you all my life

Shake those windows
Sums and songs and
Beats and rhymes
And I like this blackout
It just helps to
Love those clear night skies

Just let the record play
And bring it back again
You can’t appreciate
What we were into then

Just let the record play
And bring it back again
You can’t appreciate
What we were into then

Just let the record play
And bring it back again
You can’t appreciate
What we were into then

Just let the record play
And bring it back again
You can’t appreciate
What we were into then

Just let yourself go
Just let yourself go
Just let yourself go
Just let yourself go

Just let yourself go
Just let yourself go
Just let yourself go
Just let yourself go

Bring in in the new sound

There's a house at the end of the
road
it's got no windows and
it's hard to see what's going on in
there
there's a man and he asks you what
you want
he's got no reason
but you feel like you can't just ignore
what he says

imagine he's all you've got
imagine he's all you've got

there's a house at the end of the
road
it's got no windows and
it's hard to make out what you just
came here for
catch the sun through the trees as
you are walking
through the garden
you've just got to get in before they
close the door

imagine he's all you've got
imagine he's all you've got

imagine this is all you have come
across
imagine she's all you've got
imagine this is all you will ever have
imagine he's all you've got


. . .


Oh no, gone and put my foot in it
again
Think back, can't believe that it was
me who said that
Last time, I promised I'd bite my
tongue until I counted to ten

I said, oh it's getting hot in here,
Must be something in the
atmosphere
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, it's getting hot in here,
Must be something in the
atmosphere
Oh, we could be laughing about it,
Making the most of the true British
climate
Oh, it's getting hot in here,
Must be something in the
atmosphere
Oh, oh, oh, oh

I've seen the tension on the high
street growing lately
Seems that you have to be careful
who you look at
Sometimes I can't see things the way
you see them
But this is our home

I said, oh it's getting hot in here,
Must be something in the
atmosphere
Oh, we could be laughing about it,
Making the most of the true British
climate
Oh, it's getting hot in here,
Must be something in the
atmosphere
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Yeah, you got the style
And we got the style
And they got the style
And everybody's got it

And you got the style
And we got the style
And they got the style
And everybody's got it

And you got the style
And we got the style
And they got the style
And everybody's got it

And you got the style
And we got the style
Oh oh

Oh, it's getting hot in here,
Must be something in the
atmosphere
Oh, we could be laughing about it,
Making the most of the true British
climate
Oh, it's getting hot in here,
Must be something in the
atmosphere
Oh, oh, oh, oh

It's the simple things like the robots
stevie g draws
and the ease with which we seem to
pull those tricks
there are moments of escape for
every one of us
and the beauty in the times that we
create

i saw you smiling....
and i need my vehicles and animals
and i will be alright
take me back to nineteen seventy
nine
so i can find my open eyes

he can play all by himself for many
hours
i have never seen a kid who's so
content
there is nothing from the outside
that can touch him
cos he's just learning how to be
alone with one

i saw you smiling....
and i need my vehicles and animals
and i will be alright
take me back to nineteen seventy
nine
so i can find my open eyes
and i need my vehicles and animals
and i will be alright
take me back to nineteen seventy
nine
so i can find my open eyes

lying down on my bed
i just got another kick to the head
oh yeah you're a part of me
yet another branch on the family
tree
salt on my fingers salt in my cuts
salt on my face and salt in my guts
it's been a battle but we've come
through ok
stop what you're doing and play

cos we've got our vehicles and
animals so
we're gonna be alright
there's no need for us to go back in
time
because we've found our open eyes

we've got our vehicles and animals
so we're gonna be alright
there's no need for us to go back in
time
because we've found our open eyes

7 out of 21 knocked down
Now only 14 left to go
I didn’t know that I was next in line
But it is not as if I’ve had much time
Jetlag all around me voices calling
Saying please don’t go away
Last thing I remember drifting down
this tunnel
Was bright light ahead

Out of nowhere
It came and him me on the head
Out of nowhere
I saw it over there
Before it hit you on the head
I saw it over there

Out of nowhere
It came and him me on the head
Out of nowhere
I saw it over there
Before it hit you on the head
I saw it over there

7 out of 21 knocked down
Now only 14 left to go
I didn’t know that I was next in line
But it is not as if I’ve had much time
Jetlag all around me voices calling
Saying please don’t go away
Last thing I remember drifting down
this tunnel
Was bright light ahead

Then when I came around
Somebody helped me to my feet
And said I can’t believe you’re still
alive
I’ve seen 20 other people in the last
half an hour
Who’ve been hit right between the
eyes
Seems that somebody some where’s
on a mission to protect you
Knowing that you should have
survived
Hurrah, hurrah, HURRAH
We’re still alive

Out of nowhere
It came and him me on the head
Out of nowhere
I saw it over there
Before it hit you on the head
I saw it over there

It came and him me on the head
Out of nowhere
I saw it over there
Before it hit you on the head
I saw it over there

It came and him me on the head
Out of nowhere
I saw it over there
Before it hit you on the head
I saw it over there
Out of nowhere

I found a rope and a rubber glove
you found some pretty stones and
they had holes so you could tie them
together
tie them together
tie them together

and when we spoke there was
silence
cos there's no need to make a sound
when you've got
smiles instead
smiles instead
smiles instead

let's go to dungeness

no tall latte in a rusty shed
just shots of light and broken bike to
stimulate your busy head
in dungeness

try dungeness

Skip across to Mexico
To get away from all you know

Never meant to overstep the line
Skip across to mexico
