The threads of life start to tear Hang above the pit of our despair Seems the end is growing near The life you knew will disappear Every human life will overlap and intertwine Create the fabric and the destiny of mankind START THE FIRES TILL THEY SURROUND They start the fires burning until they surround Is there nothing left Worth fighting for? Forever more Beneath the waterline Sinking further down I dwell in silence now Awake and face the truth of all that you have lost A tongue tied explanation raining down from scattered thoughts START THE FIRES TILL THEY SURROUND They reinforce their doubts until they draw blood Forever more Beneath the waterline Sinking further down I dwell in silence now Forever more I will leave this world behind Finally I drown I dwell in silence now
Choking in the grip of suspicion Trapped beneath the sword of absolution Escape is impossible, Indulge yourself in ignorance Blocking out the sun, turning in the breeze Hung high above in a noose of sympathy What has become? The seeds I"ve sown Still haunting m endlessly Escape is impossible Indulge yourself in ignorance What has become? The seeds I"ve sown Still haunting me endlessly Thy will be done All I′ve been shown Is still haunting me endlessly Escape is impossible Indulge yourself ignorance Choking in the grip of suspicion Trapped beneath the sword of absolution Through the souls of ages This deceitful elevation Collapsing into rages From corrupted meditations What hs become? The seeds I′ve sown Still haunting me endlessly Thy will be done All I′ve been shown Is still haunting me endlessly Indulge in the pleasures of the fallen Give yourslef away
Intimidation I stand before you now Hold my ground, you won′t strike me down A validation Of all the blood I spilled Survival of my will There′s nothing left to say Yourself you have betrayed We must try to seize the day All the world will hear you Redemption in the power of the sound Interpretation Of all the thoughts I shared Draw you near, creating all your fear A brand new nation For those who preserve The future is so clear A validation of all the blood I spilled A validation... All your blood spilt
I am the heir of the damned kingdom Born into a legacy of regret Searching for the promise of salvation Overwhelmed by the tides of our despair Been pulled deep into the chasm By the grip of our desire THE GRIP OF OUR DESIRE Must escape the weight of this depression The choices that lead you to dismay Who would save those who condemn themselves CRIPPLE! Cripple your own savior The failure, failure of the devout Set in motion by final sacrifice Change begun in the name of righteousness Infiltrated by greed, lust and hatred Once more corrupted by the hands of man Been pulled deep into the chasm By the grip of our desire Must escape the weight of this depression The choices that lead you to dismay The handsome mask of the devil The lure of the cross! Of the dark! You violate the sacred with your greed Prey upon the people′s misery and needs With your greed, with your greed, with your greed! I am the heir of this damned kingdom Born into a life of regret Searching for a promise That′s no longer kept
Seeing it all Heeding the call Lost! Without hoping to be found A willing exile, I turn away Rather face the endless silence Than the hopeless and fear of today The ashes choke the sky Death′s swift hand in disguise Awaiting the final call No use hesitating ARE WE Fearful of how dark it′s grown? The emptiness surrounds WILL NOT BELIEVE Refuse to think I′m on my own Who will be CAST OUT? Trust! In the lies that held you bound Their twisted values lead you astray They disgrace th world with violence Leaving bitterness despair and decay
(In the) Darkened shroud of morning Simplified in face and stature Blessing in the storming Sweetness of a subtle feature Alone and safe inside Without worry, with out knowing who′s Been cast aside Twisted down, escape to rest
I will writhe in my December
These crafted understandings Smother citadel defending They′ll miss a motive is cast together (The) comfort, effort in the end Alone and safe inside Without worry Who′s been kept alive Without knowing
I will writhe in my December
Learned, learned I love the air here And I learned, learned I love the roar in my ears I satiate this urge of mine I substitute the urge to hide Alone, alone and safe inside
The echoes creep into your dreams Torn awake from your sleep Unholy nightmare of savagery THIS CAN NOT BE! The warmth soaks into your fingers and soothes away the pain Franticly replay the days The tattered clothes still drape your frame Crimson cloaked memories Blood soaked destiny This can not be the way it seems Incapable of these things Lost hold of demons inside of me (The damage done) The desolation that′s inside us This violence lurks beneath the skin (Beneath the skin) Do not be fooled by the quiet (What I′ve become) This silent killer dwells within The conclusion comes crashing in This is happening once again! Can it be that I am capably murderous?

Though the sea will be strong I know we′ll carry on ′Cos if there′s somebody calling me on She′s the one If there′s somebody calling me on She′s the one
When you get to where you wanna go And you know the things you wanna know You′re smiling

I was her she was me We were one we were free If there′s somebody calling me on She′s the one If there′s somebody calling me on She′s the one
If there′s somebody calling me on She′s the one Yeah she′s the one
If there′s somebody calling me on She′s the one She′s the one
Please don′t think of me If you do you gotta block it I got chills tonight And you can′t be here to stop it I′m not a parasite It′s just a lonely night Tonight I walked from the bar ′Cause they were only laughing I wished on our star But they covered it in satin I′m not a gigolo That′s what I want you to know Tonight
Ooh ooh I′ve hurt you I can see Ooh ooh Do you think it′s not hurting me
Ooh ooh The grass ain′t always green And if it′s hurting you You know that′s its hurting me You know that′s its hurting me
You′ll meet other men Who will break your heart If I see you with them It′s gonna tear me apart
Maybe in another life We wouldn′t be alone Tonight
Ooh ooh I′ve hurt you I can see Ooh ooh Do you think its not hurting me
Ooh ooh The grass ain′t always green And if it′s hurting you You know that it′s hurting me You know that it′s hurting me You know that it′s hurting me You know that it′s hurting me
You said when you′d die that you′d walk with me every day And I′d start to cry and say please don′t talk that way With the blink of an eye the Lord came and asked you to meet You went to a better place but He stole you away from me
And now she lives in heaven But I know they let her out To take care of me
There′s a strange kind of light Caressing me tonight Pray silence my fear she is near Bringing heaven down here
I miss your love I miss your touch But I′m feeling you every day And I can almost hear you say ′You′ve come a long way baby′
And now you live in heaven But I know they let you out To take care of me
There′s a strange kind of light In my bedroom tonight Pray silence my fear she is near Bring your heaven down here
You taught me kings and queens While stroking my hair In my darkest hour I know you are there Kneeling down beside me Whispering my prayer
Yes there′s a strange kind of light Caressing me tonight Pray silence my fear She is near Bringing heaven down here
The next time that we meet I will bow at her feet And say wasn′t life sweet Then we′ll prepare To take heaven down there
You′re one of God′s better people And you don′t know That′s why you′re special And I cry so I can talk like this From my downbeat existence And I know that you can make my wish If my wish is pure But I don′t know I just don′t know I don′t know Let me love you so Now I can′t live this without you I′d die without you Without you, without you
You′re one of God′s better people And you don′t know That′s why you′re special It must hurt to see your favourite man Lose himself again and again And I know that you′re my only friend From way back when
My wish was pure It was oh so pure It was pure I couldn′t love you more Now I can′t live this without you I′d die without you Without you Now I can′t live this without you I′d die without you Without you, without you
′cos I don′t know no more I just don′t know no more I jsut don′t know Let me love you so Now I can′t live this without you I′d die without you Without you Now I can′t live this without you I′d die without you Without you, without you
You′re one of God′s better people And you don′t know That′s why you′re special
I know I stand in line Until you think you have the time To spend an evening with me And if we go someplace to dance I know that there′s a chance You won′t be leaving with me
Then afterwards we drop into a quiet little place And have a drink or two And then I go and spoil it all By saying something stupid Like I love you
I can see it in your eyes That you despise the same old lines You heard the night before And though it′s just a line to you For me it′s true And never seemed so right before
I practice every day to find some clever lines to say To make the meaning come through But then I think I′ll wait until the evening gets late And I′m alone with you
The time is right Your perfume fills my head The stars get red And oh the night′s so blue And then I go and spoil it all By saying something stupid Like I love you I love you...
I′ve sung some songs that were lame I′ve slept with girls on the game. I′ve got my Catholic shame Lord I′m in purgatory Basically it′s all come-on talk for me
I wasn′t me when we met You haven′t lost my respect I′m here to serve and protect What shape of insanity Keeps leading you back to me?
So put your hands across the water Oh my Sharon Monsoon Come soon
Don′t wanna piss on your parade I′m here to make money and get laid Yeah I′m a star but I′ll fade If you ain′t stickin your knives in me You will be eventually
To all you Sharons and Michelles With all your tales to sell Save your meat money well I′m glad that spending a night with me Guaranteed you celebrity.
And I can′t talk in a crowd When I′m alone I′m too loud You′ve done your daddy′s proud Thank you for keeping me company You′ve all been so nice to me
So put your hands across the water Oh my Sharon Monsoon Come soon
Oh Lord I feel Nothing I know much smarter men Never got this far
I got too many regrets I′ve smoked too many cigarrettes I′ve had more blondes than brunettes I′m not expecting your symphathy But it′s all been too much for me
So put your hands across the water Oh my Sharon Monsoon Come soon
How do you rate the morning sun After a long and sleepless night How many stars would you give to the moon? Can you see those stars from where you are? Shine on the lost and lonely The ones who cant get over it
You always wanted more than life But now you dont have the appetite In a message to the troubadour The world don′t love you anymore Tell me how do you rate the morning sun?
Stuck inside the rainbow You could happen to be Cause I′ve been close to where you are I drove to laces you haven′t seen It all seems so familiar Like they′ve been sent to kill′ya
It does′nt take an astronaut To float in a space is just a thought The morning brings a mystery The evening makes it history Who am I to rate the morning sun?
And the village drunk You know he sadly passed away, It was a shame I never knew his name I wonder if he sat there in the morning
Watched the sunrise
How do you rate the morning sun It′s just to heavy for me And all I wanted was the world And you were the star that lit the sun Dont go wasting your time Cause there is no finish line And you dont see anything, Not even love not anything, The night can take the man from you A sense of wonder overdue The morning brings a mystery The evening makes it history Who am I to rate the morning sun?
So unimpressed, but so in awe Such a saint, but such a whore So self-aware, so full of shit So indecisive, so adamant I′m contemplating, thinkin′ about thinkin′ It′s overrated, just get another drink and

So write another ballad, mix it on a Wednesday Sell it on a Thursday buy a yacht on Saturday It′s a love song, a love song Do another interview, sing a bunch of lies Tell about celebrities that I despise And sing love songs, we sing love songs so sincere
So sincere
Come undone They′re selling razor blades and mirrors in the street Come undone I pray when I′m coming down, you′ll be asleep Come undone The young pretend you′re in the clouds above the sea I come undone I am scum Love your son You′ve gotta love your son Come undone You′ve gotta love you son Come undone
Love your son I am scum I am scum I am scum I am scum I am scum I am scum

(I want perfection) Jesus didn′t die for you Why did you are? (Jesus didn′t die for you)
Loose lips sunk ships I′m getting to grips With what you′ve said No it′s not in my head I cannot awaken the dead day after day. Why don′t we talk about it ? Why do you always doubt that there could be a better way? It doesn′t make me wanna stay
(Chorus) Why don′t we break up ? There′s nothing left to say I′ve got my eyes shut, praying they won′t stray and we′re not sexed up That′s what makes the difference today I hope you blow away
You say we′re fatally flawed Well I′m easily bored, Is that okay? Strike me off your list Make this the last kiss I′ll walk away
Why don′t we talk about it? I′m only here Don′t shout it Given time we′ll forget Let′s pretend we never met
(Chorus)
Screw you, I didn′t like your taste Anyway, I chose you and that′s all gone to waste It′s Saturday, I′ll go out and find another you
Chorus:
Why don′t we Why don′t we break up There′s nothing left to say I′ve got my eyes shut Praying they won′t stray And we′re not sexed up That′s what makes the difference today I hope you blow away I hope you blow away I hope you blow away I hope you blow away. blow away blow away just blow away

If you drop me I′ll fall to pieces on you If you don′t see me I don′t exist It′s nice to meet you Now let me go and wash my hands Cause you just met the world′s most handsome man The world′s most handsome man
Y′all know who I am I′m still the boy next door That′s if you′re Lord Litchfield and Roger Moore Have I gone up in the world or has the world gone down on me I′m the one who put the Brits in celebrity
Give in and love it What′s the point in hating me You can′t argue with popularity Well you could But you′d be wrong
If you drop me I′ll fall to pieces on you If you don′t need me I don′t exist You voted for me Now let me see a show of hands Here before you stands
Can you make me laugh and sign this autograph Though it′s not for me Flip a grin, shake a thing, name a shame Then I′m out of here It′s not very complicated I′m just young and overrated
Please don′t drop me I′ll fall to pieces on you If you don′t see me I don′t exist It′s nice to meet you Now let me go and wash my hands Cause you just met the world′s most handsome man Here before you stands Please don′t drop me I′ll fall to pieces on you If you don′t need me I don′t exist It′s nice to meet you Now let me go and wash my hands Cause you just met the world′s most handsome man The world′s most handsome man The world′s most handsome man The world′s most handsome man

(talking: You′ve been naughty...very very naughty) Are you cut up Or do you easily forget Are you still around Why haven′t you managed to die yet You could prop up the bar in hell
How do you sleep You′ve never loved Why was I never good enough You thought you′d leave me falling forever Karma killer
Needless to say I guess you know I hate you You′re so full of sin Even the devil rates you I hope you choke On your Bacardi and Coke
How do you breathe Why don′t you cry How come you never ask me why You′re not a man stand and deliver Karma killer
How do you sleep You′ve never loved Why was I never good enough You thought you′d leave me falling forever
It was me and my monkey Him with his dungarees and rollerblades Smoking filter tips reclining in the passenger seat of my supercharged jet black Chevrolet He had the soft top down He liked the wind in his face He said ‘Son, you ever been to Vegas?’ I said ‘No’ he said ‘That’s where we’re gonna go, you need a change of place’ And when we hit the strip with all the wedding chapels and the neon signs he said ‘I left my wallet in El Segundo’ and proceeded to take two grand of mine We made tracks to the Mandalay Bay hotel Asked the bell boy if he’d take me and my monkey as well He looked in the passenger seat of my car and with a smile he said ‘If your monkey’s got that kind of money sir, and we’ve got a monkey bed’
Me and monkey With a dream and a gun Hoping my monkey Don’t point that gun at anyone Me and monkey Like Butch and the Sundance Kid Trying to understand Why he did what he did Why he did what he did
And at the elevator I hit the 33rd floor He had a room up top with a panoramic view it’s like nothing you’ve ever seen before He went to sleep in the bidet and when he awoke He ran his little monkey fingers through the yellow pages Called up escort services and ordered some oki doke Forty minutes later there came a knock at the door In walked this big, bad-ass baboon into my bedroom with 3 monkey whores ‘Hi, my name is Sunshine. These are my girls. Lace my palm with silver baby oh yeah and they’ll rock your world’ So I watched pay per view and polished my shoes and my gun Was sticking on Kurt Cobain sing about lithium There came and knocked at the door and in walked Sunshine ‘What’s up?’ - ‘You better get your ass in here boy your monkey is having too much of a good time’
Me and my monkey Drove in search of the sun Me and my monkey Don’t point that gun at anyone Me and my monkey Like Billy the Kid Trying to understand Why he did what he did Why he did what he did
Got tickets to see Sheena Easton The monkey was high Said it was a burning ambition to see her before he died We left before encores He couldn’t sit still Sheena was a blast baby But my monkey was ill When I played black jack Kept hittin’ 23 Couldn’t help but notice this Mexican just staring at me Or was it my monkey I couldn’t be sure It’s not like you’ve never seen a monkey in rollerblades and dungarees before Now don’t test my patience cause we’re not about to run That’s a bad-ass monkey boy and he’s packing a gun ‘My name is Rodriguez’ he says with death in his eye ‘I’ve been chasing you for a long time amigos And now your monkey is gonna die’
Me and my monkey Drove in search of the sun Me and my monkey We don’t wanna kill no Mexican But we got ten itchy fingers One thing to declare When the monkey is high You do not stare You do not stare You do not stare
Looks like we got ourselves a Mexican stand off here boy And I ain’t about to run Put your gun down boy How did I get mixed up with this fucking monkey anyhow
He′s chosen my attic I feel it in the static He lives in my basement And I can hardly face it My performance is easy I am the god of romance And in my confusion I have the right to reign
He′s stolen my Oscars He trades on my jokes He makes all my engines go oh oh oh He put an "e" in the arsenal A comb in my ′fro Devine retribution And away we will go Hey hey hey hey
Something′s happening I can feel it Moving out of time you′ll hear it Falling in the way you fear it Jumping thumping shout out something Jumping thumping shout out something
Listen to the radio And you will hear the songs you know Make it effervescent here And you might have a job my dear
I′m searching for something Beyond my understanding Looking for meaning Where nothing is demanding There are no surprises Where nothing is expected If you offer nothing Then everyone accepts
He′s stolen my Oscars He trades on my jokes He makes all my engines go oh oh oh He put an "e" in the arsenal A comb in my ′fro Devine retribution And away we will go Hey hey hey hey
Something′s happening I can feel it Moving out of time you′ll hear it Falling in the way you fear it Jumping thumping shout out something Jumping thumping shout out something
Listen to the radio And you will hear the songs you know Make it effervescent here And you might have a job my dear Ouch Ouch Ouch Radio Ouch Ouch ouch Ouch Radio
He′s stolen my Oscars He trades on my jokes He makes all my engines go oh oh oh He put an "e" in the arsenal A comb in my ′fro Devine retribution And away we will go Hey hey hey hey
Something′s happening I can feel it Moving out of time you′ll hear it Falling in the way you fear it Jumping thumping shout out something Jumping thumping shout out something
Listen to the radio And you will hear the songs you know Make it effervescent here And you might have a job my dear
Listen to the Radio Listen to the Radio Listen to the Radio Listen to the Radio
If a man could be his own fantasy Then to only breed in captivity Is pointless I′ve been doing what I like, when I like, how I like it′s joyless Only you know me
What a waste of war this peace, Baby steps and two more sleeps Till I get to say sorry I get hysterical, historicals, of love it′s just chemical Give us something to stop me Only you know me
Since you went away, my heart breaks everyday You don′t know cos you′re not there You simply found the words to make All modern feelings fade away Only you know me
I′m doin′ fine And the sun often shines What are you thinking? I done bruised up my mind With this thunderbird wine Baby, I′m drinking Only you know me
Since you went away, my heart breaks everyday You don′t know cos you′re not there You simply found the words to make All modern feelings fade away Only you know me Only you know me
Since you went away, my heart breaks everyday You don′t know cos you′re not there You simply found the words to make All modern feelings fade away Only you know me Only you know me Only you Only you Only you know me
Always and forever is forever young Your shadow on the pavement The dark side of the sun Gotta dream the dream all over And sleep here tight You don′t wanna sing the blues In black and white
And it′s hope that spring′s eternal for everyone If it ain′t broken then brake it, oh, the damage done
Trying to love somebody Just wanna love somebody right now There′s just no pleasing me Trying to love somebody Just want to love somebody right now Lady lay your love on me
Violet in the rainbow just melt away There′s not enough minutes in the hour Or hours in the day The song played in a circle that never skips a beat The stranger in a country that I have yet to meet
And it′s hope that springs eternal for everyone Got a lifetime in a second oh the damage done
Trying to love somebody Just wanna love somebody right now Guess there′s just no pleasing me I want to love somebody Just want to love somebody right now Lady lay your love on me
It′ll come in your sweet time, Lord I just gotta let you in The blind leading the blind, Lord Getting underneath your skin I can feel you in the silence Saying let forever be Love, only love, will set you free
I wanna love somebody Wanna love somebody right now There′s just no pleasing me I wanna love somebody Just wanna love somebody right now Lady, lay, lay your love on me
It′ll come in your sweet time, Lord I just gotta let you in The blind leading the blind, Lord Getting underneath your skin I can feel you in the silence Saying let forever be Love, only love, will set you free
Tell me a story Where we all changed And we′d live our lives together And not estranged
I didn′t lose my mind It was mine to give away Couldn′t stay to watch me cry You didn′t have the time So I softly slip away
No regrets they don′t work No regrets now they only hurt Sing me a love song (sing me a love song) Drop me a line (drop me a line) Suppose it′s just a point of view But they tell me I′m doing fine
(Aah) I know from the outside (When they all stared) We were good for each other (So people said) Felt things were going wrong When (aah) you didn′t like my mother (It was all in your head)
I don′t want to hate But that′s all you′ve left me with A bitter aftertaste and a fantasy Of how we all could live
No regrets they don′t work No regrets now they only hurt (We′ve been told you stay up late) I know they′re still talking (You′re far too short to carry weight) The demons in your head (Return the videos they′re late) If I could just stop hating you (goodbye) I′d feel sorry for us instead
Remember the photographs insane The ones where we all laugh so lame We were having the time of our lives Well thank you it was a real blast
No regrets they don′t work No regrets now they only hurt (We′ve been told you stay up late) Write me a love song (You′re far too short to carry weight) Drop me a line (return the videos they′re late) Suppose it′s just a point of view (goodbye) But they tell me I′m doing fine (aah aah)
You can′t manufacture a miracle The silence was pitiful that day. A love is getting too cynical Passion′s just physical these days You analyze everyone you meet But get no sign, love ain′t kind every night you admit defeat and cry yourself blind
[Chorus] If you can′t wake up in the morning Cause your bed lies vacant at night If you′re lost, hurt, tired or lonely Can′t control it, try as you might May you find that love that won′t leave you May you find it by the end of the day You won′t be lost, hurt, tired and lonely Something beautiful will come your way
The DJ said on the radio Life should be stereo, each day In the past you cast the unsuitable Instead of some kind of beautiful, you just couldn′t wait All your friends think you′re satisfied But they can′t see your soul no, no, no Forgot the time feeling petrified, when they lived alone
[Repeat chorus]
Some kind of beautiful (will come your way) [x4]
All your friends think you′re satisfied But they can′t see your soul no no no Forgot the time feeling petrified When they lived alone
I sit and wait Does an angel contemplate my fate And do they know The places where we go When we′re grey and old ′cos I have been told That salvation lets their wings unfold So when I′m lying in my bed Thoughts running through my head And I feel the love is dead I′m loving angels instead
And through it all she offers me protection A lot of love and affection Whether I′m right or wrong And down the waterfall Wherever it may take me I know that life won′t break me When I come to call she won′t forsake me I′m loving angels instead
When I′m feeling weak And my pain walks down a one way street I look above And I know I′ll always be blessed with love And as the feeling grows She breathes flesh to my bones And when love is dead I′m loving angels instead
And through it all she offers me protection A lot of love and affection Whether I′m right or wrong And down the waterfall Wherever it may take me I know that life won′t break me When I come to call she won′t forsake me I′m loving angels instead
And through it all she offers me protection A lot of love and affection Whether I′m right or wrong And down the waterfall Wherever it may take me I know that life won′t break me When I come to call she won′t forsake me I′m loving angels instead
Oh it seemed forever stopped today All the lonely hearts in London Caught a plane and flew away And all the best women are married All the handsome men are gay You feel deprived
Yeah are you questioning your size? Is there a tumour in your humour, Are there bags under your eyes? Do you leave dents where you sit, Are you getting on a bit? Will you survive You must survive
When there′s no love in town This new century keeps bringing you down All the places you have been Trying to find a love supreme A love supreme
Oh what are you really looking for? Another partner in your life to abuse and to adore? Is it lovey dovey stuff, Do you need a bit of rough? Get on your knees
Yeah turn down the love songs that you hear ′Cause you can′t avoid the sentiment That echoes in your ear Saying love will stop the pain Saying love will kill the fear Do you believe You must believe
When there′s no love in town This new century keeps bringing you down All the places you have been Trying to find a love supreme A love supreme
I spy with my little eye Something beginning with (ah) Got my back up And now she′s screaming So I′ve got to turn the track up Sit back and watch the royalties stack up I know this girl she likes to switch teams And I′m a fiend but I′m living for a love supreme
When there′s no love in town This new century keeps bringing you down All the places you have been Trying to find a love supreme A love supreme
Come and live a love supreme Don′t let it get you down Everybody lives for love
Save me from drowning in the sea Beat me up on the beach What a lovely holiday Theres nothing funny left to say
This sombre song would drain the sun But it won′t shine until its sung
No water running in the stream The saddest place we′ve ever seen
Everything I touched was golden Everything I loved got broken On the Road to Mandalay Every mistake I′ve ever made Has been rehashed and then replayed As I got lost along the way
[Refrain]
There′s nothing left for you to give The truth is all that you′Re left with Twenty paces then at dawn We will die and be reborn
I like to sleep beneath the trees Have the universe at one with me Look down the barrel of a gun And feel the Moon replace the Sun
Everything we′ve ever stolen Has been lost returned or broken No more dragons left to slay Every mistake I′ve ever made Has been rehashed and then replayed As I got lost along the way
[Refrain]
Save me from drowning in the sea Beat me up on the beach What a lovely holiday Theres nothing funny left to say
