Nobody knows what you’re saying, Nobody knows what you mean, It’s always the same when you’re riding a train in your dream, Nowhere’s the place that you’re going, And nowhere’s the place that you’ve been, It’s always the same when you’re riding a train in your dream, Nothing is all you can think of, And nothing is just what it seems, It’s always the same when you’re riding a train in your dream, It’s always the same when you’re riding a train in your dream, Train it is slowing, Track it is clear, Train it is slowing, Nowhere is here,

Happy Today 02:37
Happy today, The sky is falling down, Happy today, The world stopped spinning round, Happy today, Cos no-one knows the rules, Happy today, Sailing on this ship of fools, And oh, where is the bolt of love? And oh, where is that lightning bolt of love? Happy today, To wave at all those clowns, Happy today, To let the world just drown, Happy today, With fingers in your ears, Happy today, We can’t get ourselves in gear, And oh, where is the bolt of love? And oh, where is that lightning bolt of love? Happy today, Happy today, Happy today, Happy today, And oh, where is the bolt of love? And oh, where is that lightning bolt of love? And oh, where is the bolt of love? And oh, where is that lightning bolt of love?

Little flower, see good things can come from the dirt, Little flower, twisting that pain and that hurt, I hear you singing that tune without words, Fly like a bird on the wing, Little flower, the sky it is calling to you, Little flower, how much do you need to do? I hear you singing that tune without words, Fly like a bird on the wing, The saints they are calling, The world it is falling, Again and again, The saints they are calling, The world it is falling, Again and again, I hear you singing that tune without words, Fly like a bird on the wing, Little flower, see good things can come from the dirt,

Quelque chose de très bizarre, To see a rocket from your car, Quelque chose de très bizarre, Keep on wishing on a star, It’s just so bizarre, What little things we are, And I don’t know just what a war is for, Quelque chose de très bizarre, To have to run so very far, Quelque chose de très bizarre, To make a flower from your scar, It’s just so bizarre, What fragile things we are, And I don’t know just what a war is for, It’s just so bizarre, What perfect things we are, And I don’t know just what a war is for,

My love she is like an echo, Waiting for the world to let her go, Please let her go, My love she can give you roses, Knows the garden better than the road, Let’s take that road, But do we really wanna go there anymore? But do we really wanna go there anymore? My love she is made of memory, Memory of the time, the time before, Back through that door, But do we really wanna go there anymore? But do we really wanna go there anymore? My love she can see the future, Hold it in her hand and let it go, Don’t let it go, But do we really wanna go there anymore? But do we really wanna go there anymore?

Futureland 02:30
God only knows the place you go, When you’re holding on so hard, You can’t let go, Just take my hand, Let’s make a stand, For the Futureland, The roses they will die, But then they’ll grow, Resurrected by the spring from winter snow, So take my hand, Let’s make a plan, For the Futureland, Premonitions come and then they go, And will they all come true? I just don’t know, Please take my hand, Let’s make a stand, For the Futureland, God only knows the place you go, When you’re holding on so tight, Please don’t let go,

That Rain 03:49
Yes I’ve been here so long, Feels like time is the rain, That’s been falling on me, But there still is a song, I’ve got something to give, Who is there to receive? Yes that rain is all we really need, Yes I’ve been here so long, Find it hard to perceive, All the things that I need, But there still is the song, It will fly down the years, If I just sow the seed, Yes that rain is all we really need, Yes that rain is all we really need, Yes that rain is all we really need,

Take a train to anywhere you want to, Hold your children’s fingers in your hand, Tell your mother often that you love her, Cos all the bells are ringing, Ain’t that grand? Don’t be working all the hours that God gives, Take a minute listen to the band, Hold a close one longer than you need to, Cos all the bells are ringing, Ain’t that grand? Hear those bells a ringing, Hear those bells a ringing, Hear those bells a ringing, Hear those bells a ringing, now,

I’ve come to see those famous people waiting by the bridge, They’re only gonna cross it if we let them, There’s always so many more of us than there ever can be of them, So hold hold hold your children close, We’re waiting in the wings for something so much better than this, It’s not who shouts the loudest is the winner, We’re waiting on the truth and summer love we can but feel, So hold hold hold your children close, The sadness it is ringing in my ears like big explosions, And every person’s tears are just my own, What can I do but love you? It’s the only thing I’ve got, So hold hold hold your children close, What can I do but love you? It’s the only thing I’ve got, So hold hold hold your children close, So hold hold hold your children close,

See every word inside your mind, A premonition of the things we left behind, And all you can do, Is know it will come true, Every time, We stand in line and wait to hear, Predictions of those things that never should appear, And all we can do, Is know it will come true, Every time, We wipe our tears and look away, From prophecies of things we never need to say, And all we can do, Is know it will come true, Every time, We shine projections on the wall, The divination tells us everything must fall, And all we can do, Is know it will come true, Every time, Every time, Every time, Every time, Every time, All you can do, Is know it will come true, Every time,

Yellow sunflower, Bluest sky, Every time you say goodbye, I can always hear the sea, Yellow sunshine, Bluest sea, Will you please come back to me, I can always see the sky, Yellow sunflower, Bluest sky, Every time you say goodbye, I can always hear the sea,
12.
Somebody pull the strings, Let’s make this small thing fly, Feel the sun upon your face, It’s not so difficult, To let the washing dry, Feel the sun upon your face, Let’s all go running wild, Up in the sky tonight, Feel the sun upon your face, Feel the sun upon your face,

Frogs 01:41
I can be the one, You’re looking for, Let’s go have some fun, Before the world burns down… I can hear the sun, Inside my head, Frogs are on the run, Before the world burns down…
