 Hush little mammy don't you cry
 Got to see what it's like on the world outside
 We got to get out of this life somehow

 I don't wanna be a constructor of highways,
 a sweeper of sidewalks. I've got to do in my way
 I'm too ill-equipped for a mathematician,
 a shrewd politician, a maker of decisions

 We're not the greatest when we're separated

 I don't wanna be like a fascist dictator,
 a saint or a sinner, I wanna be a winner

 Strangers
 ------------------------------------------
    
 Where are you going? I don't mind. I've killed my world and I've killed my time
 So where do I go? What do I see? I see many people coming after me
 So where are you going to? I don't mind. If I live too long I'm afraid I'll die
 So I will follow you wherever you go. If your offered hand is still open to me
    
 Strangers on this road we are on
 We are not two, we are one
 So you've been where I've just come. From the land that brings losers on
 So we will share this road we walk, and mind our mouths and beware our talk
 Till peace we find tell you what I'll do. All the things I own I will share with you
 And if I feel tomorrow like I feel today, we'll take what we want and give the rest away
    
 Strangers on this road we are on
 We are not two, we are one
 Holy man and holy priest, this love of life makes me weak in my knees
 And when we get there, make your play, 'cause soon, I feel you're gonna carry us away
 In a promised lie you made us believe. For many men there is so much grief
 And my mind is proud but it aches with rage. And if I live too long I'm afraid I'll die
 Strangers on this road we are on
 We are not two, we are one
 Strangers on this road we are on
 We are not two, we are one

 Down the way from the Tottenham Court Road
 Just 'round the corner from Old Soho
 There's a place where the publishers go
 If you don't know which way to go
 Just open your ears and follow your nose
 'Cause the street is shakin' from the tapping of toes
 You can hear that music play
 Anytime on everyday
 Every rhythm, every way
 You go to a publisher and play him your song
 He says "I hate your music and you hair is too long
 But I'll sign you up because I'd hate to be wrong"
    
 You've got a tune, it's in your head, you want to get it placed
 So you take it down to a music man, just to see what he will say
 He says "I hate the tune, I hate the words, but I'll tell you what I'll do
 I'll sign you up, and take it round the street, and see if it makes the grade
 [ch]A[/ch] N.C. [ch]D[/ch] N.C.
 And you might even hear it played on the rock 'n' roll hit parade"
 Daytime, night time, every week
 You can hear that heavy beat
 Now the walls are shaking from the tapping of feet
 Daytime, night time, every day
 You can hear that music play
 Every rhythm, every way

 Facing the world ain't easy, when there isn't anything goin'
 Standing at the corner waiting, watching time go by
 Will I go to work today, or shall I bide my time?
    
 'Cause when I see that union man walking down the street
 He's a man who decides if I live, or I die, if I starve, or I eat
 Then he walks up to me and the sun begins to shine
 Then he walks right past and I know that I've got to get back in the line
 Now I think of what my mama told me
 She always said that it would never ever work out
 But all I want to do is make some money
 And bring you home some wine
 I don't want you ever to see me, standing in that line
    
 'Cause that union man's got such a hold over me
 He's a man who decides if I live, or I die, if I starve, or I eat
 Then he walks up to me and the sun begins to shine
 Then he walks right past and I know that I've got to get back in the line
 Get back, get back, get right back in the line

 Lola
 ------------------------------------------
    
 I met her in a club down in Old Soho
 where you drink champagne and it tastes just like Coca Cola
 [ch]A[/ch] ([ch]Asus4[/ch] [ch]A[/ch])
 C-O-L-A, cola
 She walked up to me and she asked me to dance
 I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said "Lola"
 L-O-L-A, Lola. Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola
 Well I'm not the worlds most physical guy, but
 when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine, oh my Lola
 Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola
 Well I'm not dumb but I can't understand
 why she walked like a woman and talked like a man, oh my Lola
 Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola. Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola
    
 Well, we drank champagne and danced all night
 under electric candlelight
 She picked me up and sat me on her knee
 and said "Dear boy, won't you come home with me?"
 Well, I'm not the world's most passionate guy
 But when I looked in her eye, well, I almost fell for my Lola
 Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola. Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola
 Lola. Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola. Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola
    
 I pushed her away. I walked to the door
 I fell to the floor. I got down on my knees
 Then I looked at her, and she at me
 Well that's the way that I want it to stay
 and I always want it to be that way for my Lola
 Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola
 Girls will be boys, and boys will be girls
 It's a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world except for Lola
 Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola
    
 Well I left home just a week before
 And I'd never ever kissed a woman before
 But Lola smiled and took me by the hand
 and said "Dear boy, I'm gonna make you a man"
 Well I'm not the worlds most masculine man
 but I know what I am, and I'm glad I'm a man
 and so is Lola. Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola. Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola
 Lola. Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola. Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola
 Lola. Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola. Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola
 Lola. Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola. Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola

 N.C.
 (Yes, it's number one. It's Top of the Pops)
    
    
 I've just come in at number twenty five
 I'm oh so happy, so glad to be alive
 Everybody says it's going to get to the top
 [ch]A[/ch] N.C.
 Life is so easy when your record's hot
 E (Riff)
 Go tell my mama, and my sister, too
 Press my trousers and polish my shoes
 I might even end up a rock 'n roll god
 [ch]A[/ch] N.C.
 It might turn into a steady job
 E (Riff)
    
 And my agent said to me, "Son, I always told you so"
 Now my record's number eleven on the BBC
 But number seven on the NME
 Now the Melody Maker want to interview me
 And ask about my politics and theories on religion
    
 (I'd like to ask you a little bit about your influences in your career so far)
 (Ok man, now stand over there, I wanna nice shot of you all, alright, alright
 shot of a lifetime)
    
    
 Now my record's up to number three
 And a woman recognized me and started to scream
 This all seems like a crazy dream
 I've been invited to a dinner with a prominent queen
    
 Now I've got friends I thought I'd never have before before
    
    
    
 E (Riff)
 It's strange how people want you when you record's high
 When it drops down, they just pass you by
 Now my agent called me on the telephone
 [ch]E[/ch] N.C.
 And said "Son your record's just got to number one"
    
    
 "And do you know what this means? This means you can earn some real money"
    
 ------------------------------------------
 The Moneygoround
 ------------------------------------------
    
 Robert owes half to Grenville, who, in turn, gave half to Larry, who
 Adored my instrumentals. And so he gave half to a foreign publisher
 He took half the money. That was earned in some far distant land
 [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] ([ch]G[/ch])
 Gave back half to Larry. And I end up with half of goodness knows what
    
 Can somebody explain why things go on this way?
 I thought they were my friends. I can't believe it's me
 [ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] N.C.
 I can't believe that I'm so green
    
 Eyes down, round and round. Let's all sit and watch the money-go-round
 Everyone take a little bit here and a little bit there
    
 Do they all deserve money from a song that they've never heard?
 They don't know the tune and they don't know the words
 But they don't give a damn
    
 There's no end to it. I'm in a pit and I'm stuck in it
 The money goes 'round and around and around, and it comes out here
    
 When they've all taken their share
    
    
 I went to see a solicitor, and my story was heard and the writs were served
 On the verge of a nervous breakdown I decided to fight right to the end
 But if I ever get my money I'll be too old and grey to spend it
 Oh, but life goes on and on, and no one ever wins
 And time goes quickly by just like the money-go-round
 I only hope that I'll survive
 ------------------------------------------
 This Time Tommorow
 ------------------------------------------
    
    
 This time tomorrow where will we be?
 On a spaceship somewhere sailing across an empty sea
 This time tomorrow where will we know?
 Will we still be here watching an in-flight movie show?
    
 I'll leave the sun behind me
 And I'll watch the clouds as they sadly pass me by
 Seven miles below me, I can see the world and it ain't so big at all
 This time tomorrow what will we see?
 Fields full of houses, endless rows of crowded streets
    
 I don't know where I'm going. I don't want to see
 I see the world below me looking up at me
    
    
    
    
    
    
 Leave the sun behind me
 And I'll watch the clouds as they sadly pass me by
 And I'm in perpetual motion
 And the world below doesn't matter much to me
 Well, this time tomorrow where will we be?
 On a spaceship somewhere sailing across an empty sea
 Well, this time tomorrow where will we be?
 This time tomorrow what will we see?
 This time tomorrow

 A Long Way From Home
 ------------------------------------------
    
 You've come a long way from the runny-nosed and scruffy kid I knew
 You had such good ways
 I can remember the little things that always made you smile
 They made you happy
    
 Now you think you're wiser because you're older
 And you think that money buys everything
 And you think you need no one to guide you
 But you're still a long way from home
 You've come a long way, you're self-assured
 And dressed in funny clothes
 But you don't know me.
    
 I hope you find what you are looking for
 With your car and handmade overcoats
 But your wealth will never make you stronger
 'Cause you're still a long way from home
 Yes, you're still a long way from home

 Rats

 I was lost just wandering round downtown. Many people were pushing me around
 Hate spreads just like infection
 Those rats jumping on and off my back, fat black rats holding me down
 I see rats in every direction
    
 No time to catch your breath. Crazy people lost their heads
 Masses trampling on my feet, inconsiderate in their heat
 Those rats breeding angriness and spite. Never have done anything right
 for people like you and me
 Walk over all the people you can't see. If they die there's more bread for me
 Like snakes crawling through the grass
    
 No time to catch your breath. Crazy people lost their heads
 Masses trampling on my feet, inconsiderate in their heat
 Those rats breeding angriness and spite. Never have done anything right
 for people like you and me
    
 See that face, man, look at me, he's much too selfish to see
 Once he was warm and was kind, now all he has got is a pinstripe mind

 Apeman
 ------------------------------------------
    
    
    
 I think I'm sophisticated 'cause I'm living my life like a good Homosapien
 But all around me everybody's multiplying
 til' they're walkin' round like flies, man
 So I'm no better than the animals sitting in their cages in the zoo, man
 'Cause compared to the flowers, and the birds, and the trees, I am an apeman
 I think I'm so educated, and I'm so civilised 'cause I'm a strict vegetarian
 But with the over-population, and inflation, and starvation,
 and the crazy politicians
 I don't feel safe in this world no more, I don't wanna die in a nuclear war
 I wanna sail away to a distant shore, and make like an apeman

 I'm an apeman, I'm an ape, apeman, oh, I'm an apeman
 I'm a King Kong man, I'm a vooddoo man, oh, I'm an apeman
 'Cause compared to the sun that sits in the sky,
 compared to the clouds as they roll by,
 compared to the bugs, and the spiders, and flies,
 I am an apeman

 (In man's evolution he has created the city and the motor traffic rumble)
 (But, give me half a chance and I'd be taking off my clothes and living in the jungle)
 'Cause the only time that I feel at ease is swinging up and down in a coconut tree
 Oh, what a life of luxury to be like an apeman

 I look out the window, but I can't see the sky,
 The air pollution is a-fuckin' up my eyes,
 I want to get out of this city alive, and make like an apeman
    
 La-la-la-la La-la-la
 A-come on and love me
 N.C. [ch]A[/ch]

 Powerman
 ------------------------------------------
    
    
    
    
 I know a man, he's a powerful man
 Got the people in his power in the palm of his hand
 He started at the bottom and he worked his way up
 Now he's never going to stop until he reaches the top
    
 It's the same old story. It's the same old dream
 It's Powerman, Powerman, and all that it can bring
 If you want your money, better stand in the line
 'Cause you'll only end up picking up the nickels and dimes
 You call him names and he sits and grins
 'Cause everybody else is just a sucker to him
    
 And he's got my money, 'cause I've got my faith
 And Powerman, Powerman, I'll never be your slave
    
 It's the same old story, it's the same old game
 It's Powerman, Powerman, he's driving me insane
    
    
    
 People tried to conquer the world. Napoleon and Genghis Khan
 Hitler tried and Mussolini too
 Powerman don't need to fight, Powerman don't need no guns
 Powerman got money on his side
    
 Well I'm not rich, and I'm not free,
 but I've got my gal and she got me
 He's got my money and my publishing rights
 But I've got my gal and I'm alright
    
 And she got me going. And she keeps me sane
 But Powerman, Powerman, got money on the brain
    
 It's the same old story, it's the same old game
 It's Powerman, Powerman, he's driving me insane

 Soon the sun is going to shine
 We're gonna free like the birds and the bees
 Running wild across the big country
    
 ([ch]E[/ch]) [ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch]
 Got to be free to do what I want, walk if I want, talk if I want
 Got to be free to say what I want, make what I want, and play what I want
 As free as the birds up in the sky, as free as the bugs, and the spiders, and flies
 I don't know how, but I'm gonna try. I've just got to be be free
 ([ch]E[/ch]) [ch]B7[/ch] [ch]E[/ch]
 And it won't be long, 'cause we are right and they are wrong
 Yeah, we got to be get out of this life somehow
 We got to be be free, we got to be be free now
    
 ([ch]E[/ch]) [ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch]
 Got to be free to laugh when I want, think what I want, and cry if I like
 Got to be free to do what I want, say what I want, and swear if I like
 As free as the sun and the moon in the sky, as free as a flea or a proud butterfly
 I don't know how, but I'm gonna try. I've just got to be be free
 ()     
 Yeah, we got to be get out of this life somehow
 We got to be be free, we got to be be free now
    
 ([ch]E[/ch]) [ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch]
 Got to be free to do what I want, walk if I want, talk if I want
 Got to be free to say what I want, make what I want, and play what I want
 Well, I've got to be be proud and stand up straight, and let people see I ain't nobody's slave
 Well, I've got to be free before it's too late. I've just got to be free
 ([ch]E[/ch]) [ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch]
 Well, I've got to be free to do what I want, walk if I want, talk if I want
