Pick yourself up
03:40
|
|||
You will get knocked back
You may get knocked down
You'll experience set-backs
You will live through that
Pick yourself up & start again
Pick yourself up & try again
I've never perfected the art of dealing with things
when they're going wrong
That bit's always been easier said than done
I've never developed the skills for dealing with things
when they're going wrong
I can only handle a problem after it's gone
after it's gone
Pick yourself up & start again
Pick yourself up & try again

Be open minded

In life, as in art
there are more questions than answers
In art, as in life
there are more questions than answers
You may be afraid of the things that you see
that you don't understand
But life goes on with or without you
whether you understand
Be open minded
In life, as in art
there are more questions than answers
In art, as in life
there are more questions than answers
You may be confused & angry
if you don't understand
that life is richer for all its permutations
through to the last
Be open minded

Keep Talking Man

Keep talking, man
Keep Talking Man
We can all see you
don't give a damn
it's plain as day to us
Keep Talking Man
It doesn't matter
your words don't make any sense
you'll just keep talking
over your opponents
You just keep talking, man
Keep Talking Man
Keep talking, man
Keep Talking Man
Do you come with batteries included
or does someone have to pull a cord?
Out came all these words
none of it made any sense to us
Can we put you back in your box
or will you keep talking, man?
Keep Talking Man
Your words
don't make any sense to us
don't take account of anything
of consequence
It doesn't matter
You just keep talking, man
Keep Talking Man

Myth about disposability
04:45
|
|||
It's a myth about disposability
I held a plastic brooch in my hand
On the back it said "1973"
It looked like new to me
You can try to throw it away
You can try, but you're not getting anywhere
You can try to throw it away, but it's not going anywhere
Did it ever occur to you
every piece of plastic that's ever been
is somewhere on this planet
even if it can't be seen?
You can try to throw it away
You can try, but you're not getting anywhere
You can try to throw it away, but it's not going anywhere
It's not going anywhere
We could send our garbage to outer space
but it might just smack us in the face
What are we going to do with this?
Our planet's getting full of it ...

It takes it out of you
04:03
|

I'm not one to make a mountain
I can't even climb that high
Wish I could just get used to it
but my mind just ain't right
I've felt all the feelings
My cells are like daggers
It's amazing what history does to you
I wish that only now could matter
It takes it out of you
this thing we call life
If you can make another day
you've done something right
Back on top of that mountain
Now you can't get down
My thoughts make me a misfit
I just want to crouch down
It's hard as hell to push forward
My life feels like weights holding me down
If you've made it this far
For god's sake, don't give up now
It takes it out of you
this thing we call life
If you can make another day
you've done something right

Last night's lipstick
02:39
|

Let's talk about dancing
How shoes become sticky from booze
How brow's become sticky from sweat
Let's talk about movement
How the world is spinning the whole time
Let's talk about last night's lipstick
& how it lasts so much longer
than any you would have put on during the day
Let's talk about memories
How they pop up unexpectedly
How sometimes they lead to actions
Those actions aren't always "sane"
Let's talk about last night's lipstick
& how it stays on so much longer
than any you would have put on during the day
We've talked ourselves senseless
not getting anywhere, anyway
Let's talk about lipstick
Cos other shit's too hard to say
Too hard to say

Never too late
02:16
|
|||
Never too late to...
say you're sorry
mend your ways
be a better person
even if it's your dying day
Never too late, never too late
Never too late, never too late
It's never too late
Never too late
Never too late to...
write a song, now
start a band
learn a lesson
lend a hand
talk to strangers
smile and laugh
be a friend, now
change your path
Never too late, never too late...

Hide and Seek
03:03
|
|||
Baby, too shy
yeah you're too shy, babe
Baby, too shy
yeah you're too shy, baby...
Come out and play
You hide & you seek, but don't run
Come out and play
Cos running away ain't no fun
