Rock & Roll On Bones

You may take my freedom
You may take my gold
You may strip me
Of all I've ever owned
You may leave me hungry
You may leave me cold
But you may never make me leave
What I have found myself
Rock and Roll on Bones X2
Them Bones
Them rock and roll,rock and roll
Rock and roll, rock and roll
Rock and roll bones
And I maybe queuing
And I maybe fuming
And I maybe late on a date
That is 10 years old
But I won't be wishing
Cause I won't be missing
I got these grooves cut down
Deep down
Rock and Roll on Bones X2
Them Bones
Them rock and roll,rock and roll
Rock and roll, rock and roll
Rock and roll bones

Felicity

She got a tattoo of a tiger on her chest
It's paws and claws are on her left breast
She got a ring through her nipple
Got one through her nose
She once was a designer of babies clothes
Felicity, Felicity
Don't you make a fool out of me
Dating a traveller at age 13
One year later she was living the dream
She learnt to breath fire
Learnt to juggle flame
She took a trip to orbit
Just to learn her name
Felicity, Felicity
Don't you make a fool out of me
She left the circus when the tents burnt down
Started car jacking with Freddy the Clown
Well that bad business
Well it didn’t last long
Now Freddy's in jail
And she's in Saigon
Felicity, Felicity
Don't you make a fool out of me
Now she pickles snakes
In whiskey and rum
Smoked a pipe when I can along
We started going steady but a bless my soul
She's not really into rock and roll
Felicity, Felicity
Don't you make a fool out of me

Year As A Ghost
05:46
|
|
||
|
Living underground
In a foreign town
Been on the cards
Since I touched down
Started that night
When I lost all the ground
And my words
They made no sound
A Thousand miles I roam
Trying to find a place to call my own
In a house that's not a home
Spend the year as a Ghost
Rats scurry above my head
But they wont bite
Unless I'm dead
Lit blue by the light
Of a TV screen
And there's no windows
Or doors
A Thousand miles I roam
Trying to find a place to call my own
In a house that's not a home
Spend the year as a Ghost
And as the winter closes in
I haunt the places
Where I have been
Now just a shadow that moves at night
On the road
By dawn
A Thousand miles I roam
Trying to find a place to call my own
In a house that's not a home
Spend the year as a Ghost

Too Much
03:40
|
|

I smoke too much
That much is true
I think it helps me
Get over you
I drink too much
Same reason as before
I sleep too much
Can't wake up
Well what's the point
What's the point
It's all too much
It's all too much for me
I dwell too much
That much is true
It doesn't help me
Get over you
I waste my time
That doesn't help
Either
I think too much
Just can't stop
Well what's the point
What's the point
It's all too much
It's all too much for me
It's all too much
And not enough
My situation is
One as such
That it's all too much
It's all too much for me

Leave It Alone
03:18
|
|

|
You got to leave it alone and forget about it
Leave it alone and forget about it
You got to leave it alone and forget about it
You just got to move on
What's the use in all this trouble
What the use in hitting the wall
It doesn't matter if its double
Scales on your eyes like poor old Saul
You got to leave it alone and forget about it
Leave it alone and forget about it
You got to leave it alone and forget about it
You just got to move on
You can't get it back and you can't change it
The pieces are scattered here to Istanbul
The monkey on your back is throwing marbles
Under you feet as you fall
You got to leave it alone and forget about it
Leave it alone and forget about it
You got to leave it alone and forget about it
You just got to move on
She's a crazy little lady but she won't give you love
Not the sweet kind that you're thinking of
I can tell by your eyes that you'll never give up
But she might break you in two
You got to leave it alone and forget about it
Leave it alone and forget about it
You got to leave it alone and forget about it
You just got to move on

Rats off a sinking ship
Push comes to shove
Jump in the thick of it
I will sink or swim
To a land without green packages
Awash in teenage dreams
What part of no don't you understand?
You're particularly diligent in a parallel land
Abundantly redundant, a rock in my hand
What part of no don't you understand?
Yes bruv, don't you know?
You speak a little louder
As her hips swing down the hall
My face would open doors
Electronical reassurance
Beeping from the walls
What part of no don't you understand?
Your particularly diligent in a parallel land
Abundantly redundant a rock in my hand
What part of no don't you understand?
Lesson twenty one
Lesson three & four
I missed lesson two
As I fell through the floor
Shatter well place plans
Of coasting down the middle
To a grown up land
Seven months spent on the tube
Didn't learn a single thing
Didn't think I would
What part of no don't you understand?
Your particularly diligent in a parallel land
Abundantly redundant a rock in my hand
What part of no don't you understand?

Little Black Box
03:39
|
|

There's a little black box
Hidden in the corner
Of a room where nobody goes
And the walls are painted black
So you can't see it
And they're all the windows
And the room's in a house
At the bottom of the street
That is falling into the sea
And the sea is turning black
Like the tarmac
That's in-between you and me
Oh sweet thing you got to dive a little deeper
Dive a little deeper than this
And oh my my, breathe a little harder
breathe a little harder than this
All this time been a stumbling and a searching
Looking for a place to be
And that little black box on the bottom of the ocean
That separates you and me
Roll over rocks
Roll through the gulleys
The sea is silver tonight
And the little black box
At the bottom of the ocean
Reflects no pale moonlight
And they say it's full of silver
They say it's full of gold
They say it buys company
But all this treasure
Cannot change the weather
That's in-between you and me
Woah Yeah!
There's a little black box

Sea of Tranquility
04:28

When things just ain't right
And nobody, nobody puts up a fight
And it all goes wrong in the end
Well I can't pretend to comprehend
Well I guess it comes right down
To how hard we all hit the ground
Search for possibilities
Like sailing on the sea of tranquillity
When the crunch
Comes crushing down
And there no one to blame
'Cause they've all skipped town
And they leave with all the profits and gold
So I've been told its been foretold
Well I guess it comes right down
To how hard we all hit the ground
Search for possibilities
Like sailing on the sea of tranquillity
Save your money
But what a price
When god's in heaven
Well he's throwing dice
The situation is driving you crazy
You'll never know till you're pushing up daisies
So keep on keeping on
If you can't stop it
Let it roll on
Let it pass, it will set you free
And you'll sail the sea
Well I guess it comes right down
To how hard we all hit the ground
Search for possibilities
Like sailing on the sea of tranquillity
