Oh Jack

Oh Jack, I won't go your way,
Oh Jack, I won't go your way,
That's just the road to ruin.
The opposite of this is that
Lay down your hat
Go send for the cat
And find a good room
You're still at the party
And there's no end in sight
You know that the party
Goes on all night, every night, every night
Oh Jack, the answer
Is not in the ocean
Oh Jack the answer
Is not at any extreme
That's just the way it seems:
That every square is white or black
And you walk in between
Oh Jack, all these old faces and..
Now Jack, bringing neophytes to the game
They all know your name
Bounding in or bowing out
You're going against the grain
You're still at the party
And there's no end in sight
You know that the party
Goes on all night, every night, every night
Oh Jack, I won't go your way,
Oh Jack, I won't go your way,
That's just the road to ruin.
The opposite of this is that
Lay down your hat
Go send for the cat
And find a good room

Moon

I spoke to you today
You're thousands of miles away
I didn't see your face or hear your voice
I drank my vitamin C from a can of apple juice
Ate my ready meal, crawled back to my tomb
We're already living on the moon
We're already living on the moon
We're not ready
but we're already living on the moon
I woke from a dream so intense
I could not make sense
Of up, left, right or down
I knew I wouldn't make it into town
I'm out of breath, my guitar's out of tune
And no amount of alcohol could unspin my room.
We're already living on the moon
We're already living on the moon
We're not ready but
we're already living on the moon
We're already racing round the paper lamp shade
We're already spinning like a ten pence piece
We're already eating from a broken plate
We're down to the last of the Cornish Cream
We see our reflections in the back of the spoon
And we're sick of this living on the moon
I was standing in the queue,
Waiting for my rescue,
The atmosphere was thinly spun
I was the last one that they let on
Now flash into the black
With someone's elbow in my back
Acceleration showing on my face
Not enough space; I've had enough of space
Not enough space; I've had enough...
My muscles feel like they're wasting away,
My poor body never felt so old
Everything feels silent and cold,
The ringing in my ears is unwelcome company
And my beat up dreams won't let me be
We're already living on the moon
We're already living on the moon
We're not ready but
we're already living on the moon
We're already racing round the paper lamp shade
We're already spinning like a ten pence piece
We're already eating from a broken plate
We're down to the last of the Cornish Cream
We're all distorted from the curvature of space
And it's plain for all to see
That we're sick of these tranquil seas
We'd rather be living in the trees
We'd rather be living in the trees
We're not ready!
We're not ready!

Better Blue

Gold is not my colour
That's not something new
I'm not green enough for miracles
But there's a better blue
The night rolls on too long
That's not down to you
But like a clear sky in November,
There's a better blue
I want to love you better
I want to love you better
I want to love you better
I want to love you better
I want to change my hue
Just by a shade or two
I'm not saying there's a path
I don't believe in fate
Everybody got to learn to live with themselves
Everybody learns too late
There are parts of myself
I'd rather keep from you
I'm not green enough for miracles
But there's a better blue
I'll try to love you better
I'll try to love you better
I'll try to love you better
I'll try to love you better
I can try and change my hue
Just by a shade or two
There's a better blue.
