Millionaires
Song (The)
(Kevin Coyne)
Everybody
jump for joy
I'm my
mother's pride and joy
Sitting
here with the millionaires
A long
cool drink by my side
Here
comes my blushing bride
Sitting
here with the millionaires
Chorus:
I've
done well for a working class boy, everybody knows
Look
at my hair, look at my shoes, look at my fancy clothes, look at my fancy clothes.
I'm sailing
on the sea
Everybody's
waving at me
Sitting
here with the millionaires
I arrived
by a big jet plane
Everybody
knows my name
Sitting
here with the millionaires
Chorus
I've
left the factory behind
I've
found money and peace of mind
Sitting
here with the millionaires
Come
on waiter, over here
Bring
me an ice and.another long beer
Sitting
here with the millionaires
Chorus
- Solo - Chorus
My mother's
coming out to see me tonight. She's coming out on a big jet plane and she's
bringing more money. We've made so much money these last few years and my
wife is very happy. lt's marvellous to be rich. I never want to be working
class again. Oh I'm so happy with all this money, look at these millionaires,
they all love me, they're all smiling at me. Happy happy boy. No more dirty
factories for me. Oh I'm so happy. What a wonderful live we're living... So
nice there by the Mediterranean... marvelous, wonderful, beautiful...
I
Couldn't Love You
(Hans Pukke/Kevin Coyne)
I
couldn't love you anymore than I do (spoken twice)
Hey honey
it's me on your street
Waltzing
around, kicking up my feet
That's
you waving from your door
I couldn't
love you anymore
It feels
good to be back home, I know you've been alone
Chorus:
I couldn't love you anymore than I do (four times).
Hey honey,
who's talking to me?
Seems
to be the neighbours are watching
But I
feel free to kiss and hug you all down the road
Your
mine, your mine and everybody knows
I know
you've been alone but now I'm really home
Chorus
(four times)
I know
you've been alone but now I'm really home
Chorus
(six times)
I love you, love you so, love you everywhere I go
You're
on my mind, on my mind, on my mind, on my mind
Not
The Way
(Kevin Coyne)
Sunday
morning in the kitchen
Dry toast,
all alone
Wandering
round, doing nothing
The one
I love's just left home
It's
usual sometimes to quarrel a litlle, have a fight
But she
told me it's the last time
She's
not coming back, it s not right
Chorus:
Hey hey
this is not the way they write in books
Hey hey,
this is not the way, I don't like the way things look.
Chauvinism?
Maybe I got it?
But I'm
getting old and it's hard to change
Darning
socks is a strange occupation
But you
never did it anyway!
I thought
we were free and liberal and easy
That's
what I was always told !
It's
strange to be so adrift
When
you're getting, getting old
Chorus
It's a new life, a new start
But where
do I go, go from here?
I got
used to the life we had
Although
it was complicated, it was usually clear
That
I loved you and you loved me
This
was always agreed
Now I
know that something's wrong
And maybe
you don't love me
Chorus
- Solo - Chorus
We
Don't Talk Too Much
(Hans Pukke/Kevin Coyne
)
Hey
see the bright sunlight
Flickering
through the blinds
Feel
our bodies moving closer, closer, closer
Just
like our minds
Like
a river flowing through my head
Hear
the seagulls flying overhead
Chorus: We
don't talk too much, in fact we don't talk at all (twice)
Hey is that
the rolling sea
A vision in
front of me
You and I
on an island somewhere
A million,
million miles from anywhere
Like
a river flowing through my head
Like
the seagulls flying overhead
Chorus
Like
a river flowing through my head
Like
the seagulls flying overhead
Chorus
x2
We don' talk,
we don't talk at all, we don't talk too much (ad lib)
Here
Comes The Morning
(Hans Pukke/Kevin Coyne)
Chorus:
Here comes the morning,
the crystal white light
Here
comes the morning, it's been a long night.
I heard
the footsteps crashing down the stairs
Stood
in the bedroom, but no help was there
Chorus
I watched
the traffic, the people racing by
I realised
that could live again
, that our love was a lie
Chorus
I heard
strange music, a new symphony
It seemed
that a new love was singing just for me
City
Crazy
(Hans
Pukke/Kevin Coyne)
Oh
mercy mercy, there's a train trough my head
It's
got big headlights and it's taking me for dead
Looking
out my window at the big placards
There's
a man with a big red nose and he's laughing oh so hard
I can
see the traffic, hear it roaring all the time
And every
car that passes by it's going through this head of mine
Chorus:
City crazy, and its driving me mad (x4)
Freedom
- Money (x4).
The walls
are closing in, crack in the ceiling there
Everything
that comes through here is foul and bad air
The
smoke is pouring through the garden, ripping up the weeds
See an
old lady standing by, her head it starts to bleed
Chorus
I'm just
rolling around looking for a place
Where
people don't laugh at me and they like my face
I've
been like this for years searching high and low
For a
country place and somewhere peaceful to go
Chorus
Freedom
- Money (ad lib)
Take
Me Back In Your Arms (Kevin Coyne)
Take
me back in your arms,
I was lonely but you're here again
Take
me back in your arms, I've been waiting for your train
Take
me back in your arms, lt's lovely to see you sitting here
Take
me back in your arms, our love's so strong and clear
Cause
I was lonely, such a fool, treated you badly oh so cruel
Take
me back in your arms, honey I apologise
Take
me back in your arms, you forgive me, see it in your eyes
Take
me back in your arms, I'll never hurt you again
Take
me back in your arms, I want you, my only friend
Cause
I was lonely and treated you cruel but now you're back, I was such a fool,
such a fool, such a fool, such a fool, that's how I was, such a fool
Cause
I was lonely and treated you cruel but now you're back, I was such a fool
Take
me back in your arms, it's alright now the lights are low
Take
me back in your arms, we're holding, you really know
Take
me back in your arms, my conscience is clear at last
Take
me back in your arms, let's forget all the past
, all the past,
all the past
Last
Time Blues (Hans Pukke/ Kevin Coyne)
Up
and down every single day, h
azy, crazy, nothing's going my way
Here
comes another lover, m
ust be number twenty-two
This
i s the last time honey you are giving me the blues
Racing
down the street in my new pair of shoes
Letting
in the water, what can I do?
Knock
upon your door honey, honey, please choose
It's
the last time baby you're giving me the blues
You gave
me the runaround for almost ten years
FilIed
me full of pain, filled me full of fear
Treat
me like a baby, what can I do?
Seem
to be your captive
Last
time your giving me the blues
Let me
go, let me go
Tough
hearted women always pick me
They
can kick me around, give me misery
I've
had enough of that stuff, I know just what to do
It's
the last time last time honey you are giving me the blues, yes it is
It's
the last time, it's the last time for you (ad lib)
It's
the last time last time honey you are giving me the blues
Got to
choose
It's
the last time, it's the last time for you (ad lib)
Slave
(The)
(Hans Pukke/ Kevin Coyne)
Apartment
nightmare, wandering round
Kicking
up the carpet, my head's down
Strange
hotel, the people in bars
Nobody
loves me, they say I'm a star
Chorus:
I'm a slave to love (eight times).
Oh what
is happening to the telephone?
Nobody
answers, nobody's home
Where
is she? Gone away tonight
She's
gone wih some male friend, it don't seem right
Chorus
Out in
the park, in the noonday
s
un
Children
are running round, having fun
Sitting
on a bench, with my schnapps and beer
No one
to talk to, nobody's here
Chorus
Old
Hippie
(Kevin Coyne)
Sitting
complaining in the public bar
To your
small circle of friends
you know you're a star
You don't
like the govemment
you say that it's too right
You're
getting drunk and it's late at night
Chorus:
Just an old hippie, a bitter hippie, a sleepy hippie, getting old
Talk
about peace and love, full of hate
You haven't
got a lob, nothing regular, it's too late
You were
going to be a poet
b
ut now it's in the past
How long
can your attitude last?
Chorus
Radio
(Hans Pukke/Kevin Coyne)
Hey
honey there's a man in the moon
singing you a silly tune
He'll
be talking, talking soon, turn your radio on
Here's
the sun up in the sky, it's like a ball of fire
You can
see it flying high, turn your radio on
Chorus:
Turn it on (nine times), turn it up, turn it on
Turn
it on (nine times), tum it up, turn it on.
Everyone
in the city tonight, they're smiling, smiling bright
They
can hear, hear the light, turn your radio on
There's
hope and there is joy for every girl, every boy, hi hi hi foy loy, turn your
radio on
Chorus
Getting
dizzy with the feeling, feeling, feeling
x2
In the
jungle hear them loud baboons, monkeys, a happy crowd
What
a little happy crowd, turn your radio on
You can
hear the lions roar, you can see heavens door
You can
see the golden floor, turn your radio on,
Chorus
ad lib
Everybody's
Naked
(Hans Pukke/Kevin Coyne)
Bedside
manners, they're no good
Don't
you know I'm made ot flesh and blood
Feeling
easy in the dark
Feeling
good, feeling sharp
Feeling
wonderful, feeling good (four times)
Chorus:
Hey, it's ok, there' nothing more to say
Hey,
it's ok, everybody's naked in their way.
It's
a natural feeling It've got right now
I can't
lose it, no way, no how
Hey where
am I? Could be on Mars
Got me
rolling and a tumbling like a superstar
Chorus
Feel
so wonderful, feel so good (four times)
Hey there's
nothing, nothing more to say, all is clear and all is ok
There's
nothing more, nothing more to say
Hey,
everybody's naked in their way (repeat)
Turn
on the lights, turn off the lights, it's alright, everybody's naked in their
way (ad lib)
