Say you like my melodies But you will never get your hands on me The more I see 'bout how things are done, The less I want from you or anyone Thanks to you I almost lost my pure love for rock and roll First you start by breaking the rules, Then someone's money turns you into fools Smash things up, yes, you should still do, But there will never be another Who Say your prayers when someone adds on The false maturity of Mellotron Once macabre Now it's the turtleneck of rock and roll To be a parasite on the rich: Now that is something that's still worth shooting for First you think you have to rebel You don't even have to do it well Then you find that rebellion Is not convincing as it's all been done So there's nothing new anymore? Well, I still have something I wake up for So the boardroom killed rock and roll? But I am music and that's all I know

They might just stop the world tomorrow So let me open up my heart I could hold you close tonight And let the whole thing come apart If you've got something that you want to do Think of this and nothing more Start a flame inside before The end of summer comes around I try to keep it all together But next to you I feel so old You can't believe that we're so bad off I can't believe what we've been told If you've got something that you want to do Don't believe that you can't do it Hurry find your own way through it The end of summer comes around

This is the medley I warned you about You might not have the time it takes to play out You always seem to be going somewhere ... At this point, the ineffectual singer attempts a number of tricks, all futile, to get the listener's attention. Turn off your radio Turn off your stereo You won't be sorry

Do you know what you're saying, Eddie? Do you think that it's all just a joke? We won't be forgiven for what we have done Why would you want to tell anyone? Do you know what you're doing to me? We've got the cash in the bag With just ten more hours to be in the clear Easy Street's never seemed so near Easy Street: Where the trees hang down in endless day And we stand above and drink and survey And never ask a price again No more hotels and chamber maids to leave without a trace No saving soaps and kitchen raids, we'll buy the fucking place I know we'll always have our problems But I'd rather be rich than poor They say that wealth can mess your mind up But I don't want to close that door Misery brings strength And I'm sure that's a rare and wondrous feeling! But I'd rather be rich than poor No one is ever always happy ... Some people say that we are the ones Who are bringing the country down But then I stop and I look around And things they look bad all around Two happier people in this world has got to be a good thing Do you know what you're saying, Eddie? Can I trust you to keep to the plan? Just tell me you love me, don't walk out that door Don't make me show you what this is for

You're feeling bad And when you're sad You throw your weight around But not on me This time, I'm free You still deserve it all I'm not connected to you I'm not refracted through you And yes, I'm enjoying it There's nothing that's more healing Than to know that you're still feeling Worse than I ever did The bridges burn At every turn You barely know me now Three minutes long Is never wrong It's all you ever need You'd like to hypnotize us You'd like to get inside us That's one place you'll never be 'Cause even if you hear this You can't be sure who it is By throwing your weight around
6.
Do you know what's going on? I've been there and I know it No, nothing's going wrong You are strong down inside you You are the passage from me to the world You are the one and I know it Giving up hope isn't hard, but the world Doesn't quite like you to show it Do you know what's going on? I'm fading and I know it Soon, you will move into the light Tell me, are you ready for a new world?? You are the passage from me to the world You are the one and I know it I am the tree that is blown by the wind You are the root down below it

Minutes 03:43
Turn on the radio and hear the air Open the metal door and go nowhere I don't really need to make a stand And I'm tired, yes I'm tired Grey streets and stadiums are full of snow Nothing that's still around asks "Where'd they go?" I don't really need to understand But I tried, yes I tried And I've not forgotten why I hated you all I always said that I'd be going away But I'm alone here today There's no more reason to leave: you're no longer here The one mistake that always seems to be made Is, though a couple are great, That man as a whole can be good – though we know that he should I stand before you at the end of the world It wasn't supposed to be good And I've had better days But not very many
8.
Years 07:34
Remember when you came in? Now you're gone Gone with no trace All you are, all erased Nonsensical, in vain, life just does what it does You're here and then you're gone Sense is a human thing Our life is long And we hope for our share We stand in line But then find nothing's there Throw your problems into the one only real abyss There's really only the one for you to understand You cannot hide And the hole never fades from you Until you've died And you fade to running eyes Throw your problems into the one only real abyss Embrace the void and be calm Let go of the little ones
9.
Free in Time 05:06
I took Sunset west Of all the overrated ones, I guess he's the best I didn't play too well A weak goodbye and I undoubtedly failed the test Free in time You'll see sometime We'll be fine And so now it's done The game is over and we still don't know what we've won But you know, we're free Of everybody in the world who's just trying to be Free in time You'll see sometime
