I Wouldn't Want To Be Like You
If I had a mind to
I wouldn't want to think like you
And if I had time to
I wouldn't want to talk to you
I don't care
What you do
I wouldn't want to be like you
If I was high class
I wouldn't need a buck to pass
And if I was a
fall guy
I wouldn't need no alibi
I don't care
What you do
I wouldn't want to be like you
Back on the bottom line
Diggin' for a lousy dime
If I hit a mother lode
I'd cover anything that showed
I don't care
What you do
I wouldn't want to be like you
Some Other Time
In a matter of a moment
lost till the end of time
it's the evening of another day
and the end of mine.
Now the starlight which has found me
lost for a million years
tries to linger as it fills my eyes
till it disappears.
Could it be that somebody else is
looking into my mind.
Some other place
somewhere
some other time.
Some other place
somewhere
some other time.
Like a mirror held before me
large as the sky is wide
and the image is reflected
back to the other side.
Could it be that somebody else is
looking into my mind.
Some other place
somewhere
some other time.
Some other place
somewhere
some other time.
Breakdown
I breakdown in the middle and lose my thread
no one can understand a word that I say
when I break down just a little and lose my head
nothing I try to do can work the same way.
Any time it happened I'd get over it
with a little help from all my friends
anybody else could see what's wrong with me
but they walk away and just pretend.
When I breakdown
I breakdown in the middle and lose my thread
no one can understand a word that I say
when I break down just a little and lose my head
nothing I try to do can work the same way.
Where are all the friends who used to talk to me
all they ever told me was good news
people that I've never seen are kind to me
is it any wonder I'm confused.
When I break down, when I break down
Freedom, freedom, we will not obey
freedom, freedom, take the wall away
freedom, freedom, we will not obey
freedom, freedom, take them all away.
Don't Let It Show
If it's getting harder to face every day
don't let it show, don't let it show
though it's getting harder to take what they say
just let it go, just let it go.
And if it hurts when they mention my name
say you don't know me
and if it helps when they say I'm to blame
say you don't own me.
Even if it's taking the easy way out
keep it inside of you
don't give in
don't tell them anything
don't let it
don't let it show.
Even though you know it's the wrong thing to say
say you don't care, say you don't care
even if you want to believe there's a way
I won't be there, I won't be there.
But if you smile when they mention my name
they'll never know you
and if you laugh when they say I'm to blame
they'll never own you.
Even if you feel you've got nothing to hide
keep it inside of you
don't give in
don't tell them anything
don't let it
don't let it show.
The Voice
It's almost a feeling you can touch in the air
you look all around you but nobody's there
it's been a long time now since you've been aware
that someone is watching you (he's gonna get you).
Sooner or later when your big chances come
you'll look for the catches but there will be none
remember before you grab the money and run
that someone is watching you (he's gonna get you)
Before you run and hide
he's gonna get you
you got no choice
because you can't escape the voice.
Jumping at shadows that come up from behind
scared of the darkness that's there in your mind
you're frightened to move because of what you might find
that someone is watching you (he's gonna get you).
Before you run and hide
he's gonna get you
you got no choice
because you can't escape the voice.
Day After Day
Gaze at the sky
and picture a memory
of days in your life
you knew what it meant to be happy and free
with time on your side.
Remember your daddy
when no one was wiser
your ma used to say
that you would go further than he ever could
with time on your side.
Think of a boy with the stars in his eye
longing to reach them but frightened to try
sadly, you'd say, someday, someday.
But day after day
the show must go on
and time slipped away
before you could build any castles in Spain
the chance had gone by.
With nothing to say
and no one to say it to.
Nothing has changed
you've still got it all to do
surely you know
the chance has gone by.
Think of a boy with the stars in his eye
longing to reach them but frightened to try
sadly, you'd say, someday, someday.
But, day after day
the show must go on
and you gaze at the sky
and picture a memory of days in your life
with time on your side.
With time on your side
(day after day the show must go on)
with time on your side
(day after day the show must go on).
