If I could choose the life I please. Then I would be a boatman. On the canals and the rivers free. No hasty words are spoken. . My only law is the river breeze.
The Devil went down to Georgia,. He was looking for a soul to steal.. He was in a bind, 'cause he was way behind,. He was willing to make a deal.. When he came across this young man.
There was Robbie Jones. He used to walk so tall. You know he'd hurt no one at all. Chased the girls around the world. Danced them round the dance halls.
This is the tale of old England. We've got rocks and coke. We've got kids that smoke. Pram pushers and devil's folk in old England. . What's the weather, sunshine or rain?.
In the life in front of you and me. Seems there is no logic, no place that you must be. And there are times that it gets so hard to see. . To find the valid reasons for the things that come to be.
The year was 1991, it seems that freedom is dead and gone. The power of the rich is held by few. Keep the young paralyzed, educated by your lies. Keep the old ones happy with the news.
Saturday to sunday's waste. Then monday's soon around. It's always time to leave. The nightlife first. And catch the last bus out of town. And the sentiment of the last song that I heard.

She took the world up. She was higher than the sun. She didn't have a need. She didn't really want for anyone. She didn't ask for any of this. . She painted in the dark.
You see the mist above the water. Blinding all that's there to see. You fell in love with nature's daughter. Or the idea you see. . So many moments were made there.
Down the hill I wander,. Just to watch the world go by.. Passers by pass under,. Underneath the clear blue sky.. No-one seems to notice,. No-one seems to even wonder why..
Well I married me a wife. She gave me trouble all my life. Ran me out in the cold rain and snow. The rain and snow, rain and snow. Ran me out in the cold rain and snow.
Since you came along, high above the scene. You've taken all the worry out of me. Yeah, you brought a change that chemicals can't find. I'm no longer thinking that I'm living in a medium time.
Wine is sweet & gin is bitter. Drink all you can, but you won't forget her. You talk too much, you laugh too loud. You see her face in every crowd. . That's the price of love, the price of love.
He was on the outside. but it was not his own choice. the city schemes had swallowed his dream. . and silenced his voice. . She was on the inside. looking for a way to be free.
There's nothing new. In this sad story. The slaughter of innocence. Without glory. At the foot of your hill. Without warning. The centre of operations.
Pour some metal on your heart, my dear. The puzzle is nearing its end. Yeah, pour some metal on your heart, my love. The destruction of the world is at an end.
Now it sees that night is day. My uneasy focus has slipped away. Drunk from the poison cup brings sheer relief to me. Head full of the news, twenty-first century.
There's only one way of life. And that's your own. . My father when I was younger. Took me up on to the hill. That looked down on the city smog. Above the factory spill.
Far Away:. [Verse 1]. And it will stop. a day that lasts forever. Just as the sun sets. It will rise at dawn. for ever after. And I'm sorry. if it aint that sweet.
