Bombs Away 

The general scratches his belly and thinks
His pay is good but his officers stink
Guerilla girl, hard and sweet
A military man would love to meet

The President looks in the mirror and speaks
His shirts are clean but his country reeks
Unpaid bills
In Afghanistan hills

Bombs away
But we're O.K.
Bombs away
In old Bombay

The general only wants to teach France to dance
His army life doesn't give him any romance
Guerilla girl, hard and sweet
A military man would love to meet

The general scratches his belly and thinks
His pay is good but his company stinks
Guerilla girl, hard and sweet
A military man would love to meet

Bombs away
But we're O.K.
Bombs away
In old Bombay

The Book Of My Life

Let me watch by the fire and remember my days
And it may be a trick of the firelight
But the flickering pages that trouble my sight
Is a book I'm afraid to write

It's the book of my days, it's the book of my life
And it's cut like a fruit on the blade of a knife
And it's all there to see as the section reveals
There's some sorrow in every life

If it reads like a puzzle, a wandering maze
Then I won't understand ‘til the end of my days
I'm still forced to remember,
Remember the words of my life

There are promises broken and promises kept
Angry words that were spoken, when I should have wept
There's a chapter of secrets, and words to confess
If I lose everything that I possess
There's a chapter on loss and a ghost who won't die
There's a chapter on love where the ink's never dry
There are sentences served in a prison I built out of lies.

Though the pages are numbered
I can't see where they lead
For the end is a mystery no-one can read
In the book of my life

There's a chapter on fathers a chapter on sons
There are pages of conflicts that nobody won
And the battles you lost and your bitter defeat,
There's a page where we fail to meet

There are tales of good fortune that couldn't be planned
There's a chapter on god that I don't understand
There's a promise of Heaven and Hell but I'm damned if I see

Though the pages are numbered
I can't see where they lead
For the end is a mystery no-one can read
In the book of my life

Now the daylight's returning
And if one sentence is true
All these pages are burning
And all that's left is you

Though the pages are numbered
I can't see where they lead
For the end is a mystery no-one can read
In the book of my life

Born in the '50's

We were born
Born in the fifties
Born
Born in the fifties

My mother cried
When president Kennedy died
She said it was the Communists
But I knew better

Would they drop the bomb on us
While we made love on the beach
We were the class they couldn't teach
'Cos we knew better

We were born
Born in the fifties
Born
Born in the fifties

They screamed
When the Beatles sang
And they laughed when the King fell down the stairs
Oh they should've known better

Oh we hated our aunt
Then we messed in our pants
Then we lost our faith and prayed to the TV
Oh we should've known better

We were born
Born in the fifties

We freeze like statues on the pages of history
Living was never like this when we took all those G. C. E.'s
Oh you opened the door for us
And then you turned to dust

You don't understand us
So don't reprimand us
We're taking the future
We don't need no teacher

Brand New Day

How many of you people out there
Been hurt in some kind of love affair?
And how many times did you swear 
That you'd never love again?
How many lonely, sleepless nights?
How many lies, how many fights?
And why would you want to 
Put yourself through all of that again?

"Love is pain," I hear you say 
Love has a cruel and bitter way of
Paying you back for all the faith you ever had in your brain
How could it be that what you need the most 
Can leave you feeling just like a ghost?
You never want to feel so sad and lost again

One day you could be looking 
Through an old book in rainy weather 
You see a picture of her smiling at you
When you were still together 
Or you could be walking down the street 
And who should you chance to meet 
But that same old smile you've been thinking of all day?

Why don't we turn the clock to zero, honey
I'll sell the stock, we'll spend all the money 
We're starting up a brand new day 
Turn the clock all the way back
I wonder if she'll take me back 
I'm thinking in a brand new way 

Turn the clock to zero, sister
You'll never know how much I missed her 
I'm starting up a brand new day 
Turn the clock to zero, boss
The river's wide, we'll swim across 
We’re starting up a brand new day

It could happen to you,
Just like it happened to me,
There's simply no immunity 
There's no guarantee.
I say love's such a force if you find yourself in it 
You need some time for reflection
You say, baby wait a minute, wait a minute 
Wait a minute, wait a minute 
Wait a minute, wait a minute 

Turn the clock to zero, honey 
I'll sell the stock, we'll spend all the money 
We're starting up a brand new day 
Turn the clock to zero, Mac 
I'm begging her to take me back 
I'm thinking in a brand new way 

Turn the clock to zero, boss
The river's wide, we'll swim across 
We're starting up a brand new day 
Turn the clock to zero buddy 
Don't wanna be no fuddy duddy 
Started up a brand new day

I'm the rhythm in your tune 
I'm the sun and you're the moon 
I'm the bat and you're the cave 
You're the beach and I'm the wave 
I’m the plow and you’re the land
You're the glove and I'm the hand
I'm the train and you're the station 
I'm a flagpole to your nation - yeah

Stand up all you lovers in the world 
Stand up and be counted every boy and every girl 
Stand up all you lovers in the world 
Starting up a brand new day

I'm the present to your future
You're the wound and I'm the suture
You're the magnet to my pole
I'm the devil in your soul
You're the pupil I'm the teacher
You're the church and I'm the preacher
You're the flower I'm the rain
You're the tunnel I'm the train
    
Stand up all you lovers in the world 
Stand up and be counted every boy and every girl 
Stand up all you lovers in the world 
Starting up a brand new day
    
You're the crop to my rotation
You're the sum of my equation
I'm the answer to your question
If you follow my suggestion
We can turn this ship around
We'll go up instead of down
You're the pan and I'm the handle
You're the flame and I'm the candle
    
Stand up all you lovers in the world
Stand up and be counted every boy and every girl
Stand up all you lovers in the world
We're starting up a brand new day

Bring on the Night

The afternoon has gently passed me by
The evening spreads its sail against the sky
Waiting for tomorrow
Just another day
God bid yesterday goodbye

Bring on the night
I couldn't spend another hour of daylight
Bring on the night
I couldn't stand another hour of daylight

The future is but a question mark
Hangs above my head there in the dark
Can't see for the brightness
Is staring me blind
God bid yesterday goodbye

Bring on the night
I couldn't spend another hour of daylight
Bring on the night
I couldn't stand another hour of daylight

Bring on the night
I couldn't spend another hour of daylight
Bring on the night
I couldn't stand another hour of daylight
