This Is The LifeLets Start A BandMr Rock & RollPoison PrinceLove LoveDon't Tell me That It's Over
Oh the wind whistles down
The cold dark street tonight
And the people they were dancing... to the music vibe
And the boys chase the girls, with curls in their hair
While the shocked too many sit way over there
And the songs get louder each one better than before

And you singing the song thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?
And you singing the song thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?
Where you gonna sleep tonight

. . . . . . .

So you're heading down the road in your taxi for four
And you're waiting outside Jimmy's front door
But nobody's in and nobody's home till four
So you're sitting there with nothing to do
Talking about Robert Ragger and his one leg crew
And where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?

And you singing the song thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Oh where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?
And you singing the song thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?
Where you gonna sleep tonight

. . . . . .

And you singing the song thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Oh where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?

And you singing the song thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?

And you singing the song thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?

And you singing the song thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?

Where you gonna sleep tonight?
Put a ribbon round my neck and call me a libertine
I will sing you songs of dreams I used to dream
I will sail away on seas of silver and gold
Until I reach my home

Give me a guitar and I’ll be a trooper-dor
Your strolling minstrels will century door to door
I don’t know anymore if that feeling is past
Will it last?
Oh how can you be sure?

And how do I know if you’re feeling the same as me?
And how do I know that that’s the only place you want to be?

Give me a stage and I’ll be a rock and roll queen
Your 20th centaury cover of a magazine
Rolling stone hear I come
Watch out everyone
I’m singing, I’m singing my song

Give me a festival and I’ll be Glastonbury star
The lights are shining, everyone knows who you are
Singing songs about dreams, about homes, about schemes
Oooh they just came true

And how do I know if you’re feeling the same as me?
And how do I know that that’s the only place you want to be?
And how do I know if you’re feeling the same as me?
And how do I know that that’s the only place you want to be?

And if you wanted to, then there’s nothing left to do
Lets start a band
Lets start a band
Lets start a band
Lets start a band

And if you wanted to, then there’s nothing left to do
Lets start a band
Lets start a band
Lets start a band
Lets start a band

And if you wanted to, then there’s nothing left to do
Lets start a band
Lets start a band
Lets start a band
Lets start a band
So-called Mr Rock & Roll,
Is dancing on his own again,
Talking on his phone again,
To someone who tells him that his balance is low.
He’s got nowhere to go, he’s on his own again.

Rock Chick of the century,
Is acting like she used to be,
Dancing like there’s no-one there.
Before she never seemed to care,
Now she wouldn’t dare.
It’s so Rock & Roll to be alone.

And they’ll meet one day far away,
And say, ‘I wish I was something more.’
And they’ll meet one day far away,
And say, ‘I wish I knew you, I wish I knew you before.’

Mrs Black & White she’s never seen a shade of grey,
Always something on her mind,
Every single day.
But now she’s lost her way,
And where does she go from here?

Mr. Multicultural sees all that one can see,
He’s living proof of someone very different to me.
But now he wants to be free,
Free so he can see.

And they’ll meet one day far away,
And say, ‘I wish I was something more.’
And they’ll meet one day far away,
And say, ‘I wish I knew you, I wish I knew you before.’

He’ll say, ‘I wish I knew you
I wish I met you when time was still on my side.’
She’ll say, ‘I wish I knew you
I wish I loved you before I was his bride.’

And so they must depart,
Two many more broken hearts.
But I’ve seen that all before,
In T.V, books, and film and more.
And there’s a happy ending,
Every single day.

And they’ll meet one day far away,
And say, ‘I wish I was something more.’
And they’ll meet one day far away
And say, ‘I wish I knew you, I wish I knew you before
The poet’s a genius,
Its something I don’t see,
Why would a genius be trippin on me?

And there’s looking and another ,
Why he can’t see is that I’m looking through his eyes,
So many lies behind his eyes.
N tell me stories from your past,
And sing me songs you wrote before.

I tell u this my Poison Prince,
You’ll soon be knocking on Heaven’s door.

Some kind of Poison Prince,
With your eyes in daze.
Some kind of Poison Prince,
Your life is like a maze.

And what we all want and what we all crave,
Is open up these doors,
So that we can dance the night away.

Who said life was easy,
Who said life was fair,
Who said no one gives a dam,
And no one even cared.

The way you’re acting now,
Like you left that all behind.
You’ve given up,
You’ve given in,
And I’m a sucker of that kind.

Some kind of Poison Prince,
With your eyes in daze.
Some kind of Poison Prince,
Your life is like a maze.

And what we all want and what we all crave,
Is open up these doors ,
So that we can dance the night away.

Some kind of Poison Prince,
With your eyes in daze.
Some kind of Poison Prince,
Your life is like a maze.

And what we all want and what we all crave,
Is open up these doors ,
So that we can dance the night away
Oh love love you tear my world apart
Oh love love you always break my heart
It's been too long since you left me
It's been too long since the start
Oh love love please don't break my heart

Oh love love you always bring me down
Oh love love you turn my life around
Oh I don't know how tell you
Oh I don't know what to say
But my heart is yours love in every single day

And at night I sit and cry it seems
Wondering why love is not like my dreams
Wondering why I am still here all alone
And at night I whish that you were there
Touching my face and stroking my hair
Telling me things, telling me strories
Telling me you love me in all my glory

Love love you're always in my heart
Oh love love I've known it from the start
Oh I whish that I could tell you
Oh I whish that I could say
That my heart is yours in every single way

And at night I sit and cry it seems
Wondering why love is not like my dreams
Wondering why I am still here all alone
And at night I whish that you were there
Touching my face and stroking my hair
Telling me things, telling me strories
Telling me you love me in all my glory

Love love I whish that I could see
What in the world you mean to me
Oh love love you always bring me down down down
Oh love love I whish you'd stick around.
Tell me why this world is a mess
I thought you always tried the best
Tell me what am I to do, maybe you should do it too
Tell me why they’re sleeping alone
No house, nowhere to call a home
Tell me what I meant to see
Won’t you stop preaching at me

And I wanna see what is all about
And I wanna live, wanna give something back

Don’t tell me that it’s over
It’s only just begun
Don’t tell me that it’s over

All the money in the world would never set all the wrongs to right
All the fire in the world will never set my heart alive
A dream of the day, when it’s all gone away
And the sun is shining bright
A dream of the day when it’s all gone away
The dreams are finite.

Don’t tell me that it’s over
It’s only just begun
Don’t tell me that it’s over

Don’t tell me that it’s over please I’m on my knees
I’m beggin you to stop.
Please I’m on my knees, I’m beggin you to stop.
