wish that you were less like me 'Cause I believe we're really nowhere See the world on fire it's burning It's turning upside down See the world on fire it's burning It's turning upside down And if I could I'd change the world For every boy and every girl We can't wait until tomorrow The time has come for us to choose And we have nothing left to lose But pain and ignorance and sorrow See the world on fire it's burning It's turning upside down See the world on fire it's burning It's turning upside down See the world on fire it's burning It's turning upside down See the world on fire it's burning It's turning upside down See the world on fire it's burning It's turning upside down And in the war against the truth I make my stand right next to you We need to know we're going somewhere Stars will fall down from the sky This world belongs to you and I We can't go down this road forever See the world on fire it's burning It's turning upside down See the world on fire it's burning It's turning upside down See the world on fire it's burning It's turning upside down See the world on fire it's burning It's turning upside down @SONG: TRIP ON YOU (C.Burrows/P.Coyne/C.Coyne/A.Byworth) When I saw her on the corner I should've told her that I loved her Instead we talked about the weather Agreed to meet another time Then slowly seven days passed And I wished that I could kiss her My heart it's moving like a yo-yo And it spins in different times Colours fly and I don't hear no sounds 'Cause it feels like I'm spinning round and round And round around She started walking straight towards me And said her given name was Jo Jo Her lips they burnt me just like fire I put my heart right on the line Colours fly and I don't hear no sounds 'Cause it feels like I'm spinning round and round And round around Everything I want I can see in you And I want you so bad Everything I want I can see in you So let me trip on you Oh yeah Everything I want I can see in you And I want you so bad Everything I want I can see in you So let me trip on you Now everything is hunky dory And there's a reason and a rhyme And that's the moral of this story Me and Jo Jo's doing fine Colours fly and I don't hear no sounds 'Cause it feels like I'm spinning round and round And round around Everything I want I can see in you And I want you so bad Everything I want I can see in you @SONG: THAT'S THE WAY I FEEL (C.Burrows/P.Coyne/A.Byworth/C.Coyne) You can't see what I can see 'cause I can see it all Can't you see what's going on or is your vision blurred Do you feel the way I feel about the way I

peter all alone And the sun don't shine on my skin and bones I'm left to rot in hell inside a prison cell I'm doing time for something I ain't done A policeman he said I pulled a gun But I wasn't there oh God I swear And I wish that I could be Oh I wish that I could be Yes I wish that I could be So free, so free Slop in slop out and then lights out This prison life is killing me it's wearing me down I crave for liberty they're pissing in my tea Systemised brutality The screws and the cons have it in for me I play the waiting game a number for a name And I wish that I could be Oh I wish that I could be Yes I wish that I could be So free so free So free so free So free so free I miss my girl and I miss my ma I dream of walking out through that door But much to my surprise I'm institutionalised I'm on the inside and I'm looking out Stare at the bars and I scream and shout But no-one hears my plea they've thrown away the key And I wish that I could be Oh I wish that I could be Yes I wish that I could be So free so free So free so free So free so free So free so free So free so free @SONG: SEVEN DAYS (C.Burrows/P.Coyne) You say you love me and you want me for your bed I

dream ever dreamt Will come true a thousand times Man makes the machines And the machines make the man And the stars and the planets and everything Every little thing But without a song the day would never end Without a song a man ain't got no friend Without a song the road would never bend Without a song without a song Hail the king for he is victorious Salute the whores who fight for all of us So that every dream that has ever been dreamt Will come true a thousand times Will come true a thousand times This is the soul of the 21st century @SONG: TIME IS NOW (C.Coyne/P.Coyne) Time is here and time is now Time is what you make it girl Everybody needs some time 'Cause time is right for everyone The time for us is here and now The time is here and the time is now You know the time is here and now And I've got time You've got time We've got time We've all got time Time is old and time is young Time will end what it begun There can be no end to time 'Cause time is yours and time is mine The time for us is here and now The time is here and the time is now You know the time is here and now And I've got time You've got time We've got time We've all got time Time is here and time is now Time is when you've made it girl Everybody spend some time 'Cause time is yours and time is mine The time for us is here and now The time is here and the time is now You know the time is here and now And I've got time You've got time We've got time We've all got time ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ All songs Copyright Control Transcribed by Rich Delano
