Straight to the Grave from the Midwife
STRAIGHT TO THE GRAVE FROM THE
MIDWIFE
I'm perfectly sane what a mad thing to say
I've questioned my soul in every possible way
Nothing left to bare
She has given me everything
I'm feeling good as a matter of fact
I've taken my script oh I'm not looking back
Doctor agrees its a spurious pact
He says there's nothing wrong with me
Impossible world with an impossible plan
An improbable game for every possible man
Just look at your life through the eyes of a denail
Can you blame her? Did you read the disclaimer?
She underlines my health She owns my wealth
She knows me better than I know myself
Under the knife, its a wonderful life
Straight to the Grave from the Midwife
I'm perfectly sane that's what mad people say
I've answered my soul in every possible way
There's nothing left to bare (Will you fade away?)
We're still burning it day by day (One lifetime at a time)
I'm feeling good as a matter of fact
I'll swallow that script, if it's got my back
Doctor agrees I'm a curious act (But in-between)
Straight to the Grave from the Midwife (Have a marvellous life.......)
Have I been good to you?
I'll give blood to you
Eight billion souls, I'm the only one sane
DON'T YOU DRINK THE WATER
You can come to my party, but don't you drink the water
You can come to my party, but don't you drink the water
I felt the rain burning through the eyes of my children's children
I felt the rain and that's on you, and me too
I felt the sky falling through, and cover the dreams of a generation
I felt the rain and that's on you, and me too
And me too
You can come to my party, but don't you drink the water
You can come to my party, but don't you drink the water
I saw the Earth broken in two, one half for me and one half for you
In her crying she calls for you
I can't complain, I was born to a life of champagne
But I felt the rain and it's nothing new, dominion' s not ours we're just passing through
It's a human race to beat the clock, I got first class tickets to leave this rock (we're just passing through)
It's a human race to beat the clock. First class tickets, ain't gonna miss it (we're just passing through)
It's a human race to beat the clock, I got first class tickets to leave this rock
I'm proud I'm vain and I bleed conceit but thank God I've got a window seat
You can come to my party, but don't you drink the water
You can come to my party' but don't you drink the water
You can come to my party, don't you drink the water
and it starts around 8:30, you can bring a friend
you can bring a friend
LIFE AIN'T WORTH LIVING
Whoever I meet. There's no question they don't measure up
Or suggestion they could follow up
Nice try but hey that's no ordinary feat
Don't you need a receipt. I found a world of confidence
I've worked through my due diligence I'm certain
That uncertainty can take a backseat
Should I repeat, or can I simply emphasise
Don't feel the need to apologise or recognise
My life's only intention is complete
When you're up close and personal your personally responsible
For making life taste sweet
Can you pay the price
One thing's for certain, loving means real sacrifice
Life ain't worth living if your lover ain't worth dying for yeh
Life ain't worth living if your lover ain't worth dying for yeh
If you're with the one worth dying for yeh, it's alright
Having never felt so high unusual to know
I never understand the joy without ever feeling low
You stop that search for sure
When you've found just what you're looking for
If you can pay the price
Of one thing I'm certain, loving means real sacrifice
Life ain't worth living if your lover ain't worth dying for yeh (Oh it's time to emphasise it)
Life ain't worth living if your lover ain't worth dying for yeh (Loving means real sacrifice)
Life life life L-L-L-L-Life
Life ain't worth living if your lover ain't worth dying for.........
You can take this anyway, when your life is on the line
Can you hear a word I say? 'Cause I told you many times
Life. It ain't worth, it ain't worth living. If your lover ain't worth dying for yeh
I wanna hear you roar
Life. It ain't worth, it ain't worth living. If your lover ain't worth dying for yeh
REALLY CAN'T SAY
I think it's time we talk, did we run before that walk?
Did I forget to know you?
I'll introduce you to my life. Might take a while
You can sit and smile
And hey. What drove you away?
Who were you hurting for? I really can't say
Oh, what lead you astray
What were you yearning? I really can't say
On any given day you can turn, everybody's sadness upside down
You make me feel so proud
And hey. What drove you away?
What were you hurting for? I really can't say
Oh, what lead you astray?
What were you yearning for?
I really can't say
And I lay awake, and I pray for reprieve' even though I don't believe
For you to say, it's okay, and that you’ll stay
And hey. What drove you away?
Who were you hurting for? I really can't say
Oh, what lead you astray?
What were you yearning for?
You really can't stay?
CHILD WITHOUT A PLAN
On the case. Watch this space
Its a one man city sitting pretty
Adjust your taste of TV pity
Is he Super human race or maybe a man to set the pace?
Or a child, just out of place
Address the nation, self adulation
Is that an autograph or a full on resignation
Is he super human race or is he an ordinary man?
Or a child without a plan
What 'ya gonna do now, before it's much too much too late?
And you're a momentary state. You ain't no Superman
And no I ain't a fan. You make the child but you'll never make the man
What ya gonna do now, before it's much too much too late?
And you're a momentary state. You ain't no Superman
And no I ain't a fan.
Could you be a child without plan
Never one to be unkind (Too much of that'll make you blind)
Do I need remind you? ('Cos it's really not that hard to find you)
Do you see a Peter Pan or a sacrificial lamb
Or a child? But never a man. Never a man
What 'ya gonna do now, when you're much too much too late?
You're a momentary state. You ain't no Superman
Not what you call a fan. Could you be a child without plan?
What ya gonna do now, before it's much too much too late?
And you're a momentary state. You ain't no Superman
And no I ain't a fan.
Could you be a child without plan?
Just a momentary state. Just a moment in time
Or a moment too late?
Such an ordinary face. Could it vanish without trace?
No you ain't no Superman
You're a child o....
Without... without a p-p-p-p-plan
Without a p-p-p-p-plan
If only. If only
That fall didn't break a bone (Get a bandage for that Oscar)
You got crocodile tears to get you home
(And your daddy's on speed dial with the spin doctor)
Don't pretend that you're in the zone (Get a bandage for that Oscar)
You got crocodile tears to walk you home
(And your daddy's on speed dial with the spin doctor)
