EGO TRIPPING
You got to take control of your ego before your ego takes control of you
I’ve seen it so many times, blind people losing their minds
Everybody’s gotta have some pride and confidence
But you can’t let them swallow you whole
There ain’t no reason to hide and there ain’t no reason to lie
Ego Tripping
You gotta slow it down and listen to what I say
You turn you’re guitar up way too loud
It’s making my head hurt and my ears bleed
But it ain’t too late for you to turn around and become a man
It ain’t an easy flight back down to earth
If you want your parachute to open you got to defeat your ego let it go
Or if you want to come crashing down just keep on acting like the way you do
Ego Tripping
You gotta slow it down and listen to what I say
Turn it down so I can really hear you play
Slow it down

Half Lemon Moon
05:30

The stars seem so close tonight
Reach out and touch the shining light
The evening’s never been so bright
You make me feel high, high as a kite
Half Lemon Moon
Don’t fade too soon
Everywhere you look everywhere you go
Life is just like a video
Get something for nothing, so something’s always on my mind
That’s why everywhere I go I seem to leave something behind
Half Lemon Moon
Don’t fade too soon
Life is like a dream
Things exactly how they seem
Believe what you wanna believe
Half Lemon Moon
Don’t fade too soon
The stars seem so close tonight
Reach out and touch the shining light

No Surprise
04:13

It's a small world
And it’s getting smaller
With every bullet fired
In hate and anger
Every bomb dropped from the sky
Though it seems so far away
The world keeps shrinking
Getting smaller every day
It's a small world
So like a roll of the dice
Lightning keeps on striking in the same place twice
It’s a small world
So it comes as no surprise
When lightning keeps on striking in the same place twice
For every planet expired
And each star that turned to dust
For every species extinct and every language lost
For every tribe forgotten and every martyr slain
A gun blast in freedoms name is a shot fired in vein

Adjust My Bra
03:59
|
|||
In the night
Surrounded by bodies
I caught your eye
How unexpected
I tried to resist
Just drinking my whiskey
You gave me that smile
That I couldn’t ignore
It was so hot in the evening
So hot in the dark
Sweating all over gonna make you shout
Oh! Feel you melting right into my skin
Over and over again
Ooh again
Put down my whiskey
Adjusted my bra
I saw you watching
So we started to walk
Closer you came
You hovered over me
My heart just pounding
These feelings grew strong
I don’t care about your money
No! I don’t care about your name
I’m just playing on your game
I feel you losing control
Again…let me feel you again…Oh come over again…and again and again
Now were face to face
I’m ready I’m willing
I heard your words
Stumble out of your mouth
Got nothing to say
Not a hint of magic
I’m feeling sober
Got to walk away
…over and over again
Over and over
What could have been

Let Your Mind Wander
03:25

Let my mind wander
On a cold winter day
Walking down country roads
Take a piss by the side of the road
Stop for a cigarette and let my mind wander
Let your Mind Wander
Walking through city streets
Talking no notice of the people we meet
Stop to rob an old lady
Or smoke a quick rock
There ain’t no time
To let your mind wander
Let your mind wander
Take a holiday
Stay at home to watch the rain
Watch it trickle down your drain
Ain’t it sweet like sugar cane
To let your mind wander
Let your mind wander

Well, the smackhead who lives at number 43, I stopped inviting him around for tea Since the day I fell asleep and he took my flatscreen TV. And there’s a fine looking woman living right next door isn’t it a pity she’s a dirty crackwhore,around my block there are fifteen moreIn my beautiful neighbourhood
Sometimes she’ll knock on the door in the middle of the morning-without warning-she’ll fall to her knees and beg me for just a little pebble o’ rock,go on please I’ll even suck your…
Oh baby, won’t you come and save me, take me outta this shit-hole, where the rain keeps falling, Oh baby, won’t you come and save me, take me outta this shithole, to a nicer place
At number 46 lives old family man lee, a nicer chap there never could be and he’s always guaranteed to vote UKIP in my beautiful neighbourhood
Each evening he’ll meet his mates down the pub, they’ll talk politics, and then afterwards, they’ll beat up a man just for the colour of his skin in my beautiful neighbourhood
At number 39 today, you could hear the screams from four houses away, it were Jack the wife beater, battering his wife in my beautiful neighbourhood
And the scum of the earth lives at number 47, if there’s a God he’ll never get to heaven. Selling crack to the kids in my beautiful neighbourhood
Me I live at number 35, struggling just to stay alive, sign on every two weeks at the job centre in my beautiful neighbourhood
Well the council have given me this lovely flat and I guess I should be thankful for that, but someone’s even gone and run over the cat in my beautiful neighbourhood

Well there were two chief suspects in this terrible case
And they both had a really guilty look upon their face
They both had the motive and they both had the means
And they both had traces of Elton’s blood upon their jeans
They both had a questionable alibi
And fingerprints all over Elton’s tie
It was a difficult case and a despicable crime
Caused many a detective to lose their mind
Because it was quite clear that there could have been only one
Killer in the case of the murder of Sir Elton
Who murdered Elton John? Who murdered Elton? Was it George Michael? Or was it Michael Barrymore? (Tell me more, tell me more)
Now for Elton’s 65th birthday he organised the world’s biggest musical parade
How was he to know that on that very day would see him fall to his grave?
All the nation’s most famous celebrities were gathered there from Dale Winton to Julian Clary
There were even crazy rumours murmured of a guest appearance from the ghost of the late Freddie Mercury
It was quite the most unexpected of assassinations
And it fuelled some absolutely ridiculous allegations
Conspiracy theorists did their best to compose
A thousand different plots they tried to expose
They even tried to pin the blame on the royal family and the government too; and all kinds of other terrorists for the first few weeks of the case until the weapon was found
It was an antique silver knife owned by George Michael buried underground
So the arrest was made, “George Michael’s the killer!” the tabloids proclaimed
But the complications of the case they didn’t end there, ‘cause forensics found Barrymore’s fingerprints on Michael’s knife and the case went on….
Who Murdered Elton John? Who Murdered Elton John?
Was it George Michael? Or was it Michael Barrymore?

Bird and a Fish
05:05
|

Those pretty faces at my door
Every hour and every day
They’re searching for something more
I open my eyes
I open their eyes take another step
Looking for something
Feeling something
Because they might just let it slip
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Asking him a question or tell her a favourite line
Can see right through him
See right through her
Pretend or feel alive
Water or air
Trees or winding weeds
She’s been waiting and he’s been need-ing
Let loose their fears and hear them say
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Red or yellow or pink or blue
Something sour bittersweet or new
She loves him and he loves her
A bird and a fish
Falling up and down and down and up
Falling up or down
Falling up and down and down and up
Falling up or down
Oh oh oh uh uh oh oh
Oh oh oh uh uh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
A bird and a fish
A bird and a fish
A bird and a fish
A bird and a fish
…A bird and a fish
What will they do?

Just One More
04:58
|

After the rain settles
She kicks off her boots
Runs through the wild fields
With her hair falling loose
It’s been awhile since I last saw her smile
Begs him to change but
He kisses her so gently in the morning
Memories they haunt her
It’s true what they say
Love can be blinded
But they rather not change
Maybe in dreams they can feel alright
Trying for perfection but
Just wore each other out in the end
Whisper, whisper in the night
Then kiss her, kiss her, Oh that’s nice
Then one more, one more, one more dance
All through the night
Then maybe in dreams they can feel alright
A universe so simple where love never falls out in the end
Oh sweet darling
He’s got a few bad habits
Choosing his time over materialistic matters
But when tomorrow comes and the pain will start to fade
Remember yourself in the most carefree way that you were
But in their time they’ll see
Just how love suppose to be
Or become…

Unnatural High
04:38
|

A taste of your lips is like snorting cocaine
The touch of your hands is just like ecstasy
Girl, you’re like whiskey and wine
You give me an Unnatural high
You’re making me crazy
You’re like marijuana baby
You send me soaring through the sky
You give me an Unnatural high
You run right through my veins
Like an opiate
And you're my methadone too when I need to go dry
You’re my coffee in the morning, pick me up help me concentrate
You’re my cuppa tea in the afternoon, when its time to detoxinate
Unnatural high
You give me an unnatural high

Excuse Me Motherfucker, did you spill my beer (motherfucker, scuse me motherfucker)
Excuse me motherfucker, did you call me a queer (motherfucker, scuse me motherfucker)
Whether you did or not, does it matter? Not a lot, I’m gonna fight you anyway I’m gonna fight you today,
I love to fight (just for the fun of it)
I love to fight (just for the hell of it)
I love to fight fight fight everyday and all night, I love to fight fight fight (til the broad daylight)
And I’ll bottle you anytime, of night or day
Excuse Me motherfucker, did I see you chatting up my gal (motherfucker, scuse me motherfucker)
Excuse Me motherfucker did you try and pick a fight with my pal (motherfucker, scuse me motherfucker)
I’ll fight you if you’re white, fight you if you’re black
Punch you in the face or stab you in the back
I love to fight fight fight everyday and all night, I love to fight fight fight (til the broad daylight)
And I’ll bottle you anytime, of night or day
Excuse Me motherfucker, did you step on my shoe (motherfucker, scuse me motherfucker)
And I swear I heard you mutter somethin’ bout my mama too (motherfucker, scuse me motherfucker)
I’ll fight you if you’re boy girl woman or man, fight you if your name’s Keith, Kevin or Dan
Fight you if you’re weak, fight you if you’re strong, fight you whether I’m right or wrong
I love to fight fight fight everyday and all night, I love to fight fight fight (til the broad daylight)
And I’ll bottle you anytime, of night or day
So if you see me in the street with a glass bottle in my hand (motherfucker, scuse me motherfucker)
if you see me in the street with a glass bottle in my hand (motherfucker, scuse me motherfucker)
Unless you’ve got a gun you’d be well advised to run because I’m a street fighting man

The two chief suspects were questioned by Scotland Yard’s finest experts in crime
The case dominated the pages of every newspaper from the Sun to the New York Times
Sherlock Holmes himself would have found the case almost impossible to solve
Both suspects denied their involvement, it was the story on everyone’s lips
Who murdered Elton? Was it Michael or Michael? For the killer is about to be revealed
‘Cause the murderer’s now locked up for life and the verdict will never be repealed
Who murdered Elton John? Who murdered Elton John? Well it wasn’t George Michael (Oh No) No it was Michael Barrymore (Oh Yes)
Yes it was Barrymore who murdered John
He brought a sorry end to old Elton
The case is no longer a mystery
Barrymore’s locked up for eternity
‘Cause Barrymore had earlier stolen the knife at a party held by George Michael
Elton John had also been there and the rest is really better left unsaid
Who murdered Elton John? Who murdered Elton John? It wasn’t George Michael, yes it was Michael Barrymore!
Now on the first anniversary of Elton’s death a tribute concert was held
Barrymore watched the show from a prison cell, while George Michael sang at the show, and he was singing,
“Goodbye, Elton John, May you ever grow in our hearts”
