Mondo Akimbo A-Go-Go

In the trials of my youth On my way to being man There were caustic words of ill advice I'd never understand But their hometown dreams were shattered When ambition foiled their plans But you can't be the one who tries That they love to criticise, I know Or at least they'll try C'mon! Laughin' is all that I can do Tryin' to keep from fallin' through Nothin' ever changes, nothin' ever changes They all got advice to give 'Cause they got no life to live Nothin' ever changes, nothin' ever changes Nothin' ever changes but the shoes In my one-man crusade Doin' what I knew was right They would tempt me with the honest sweat Of labour, love and life And they only find respect for you If you give up the fight Oh, but you can't be the one who tries They'll cut you down to size, I know Or at least they'll try C'mon! Laughin' is all that I can do Tryin' to keep from fallin' through Nothin' ever changes, nothin' ever changes They all got advice to give 'Cause they got no life to live Nothin' ever changes, nothin' ever changes Nothin' ever changes but the shoes But the shoes I wanna be there when you say you're wrong I wanna be there when you crawl I wouldn't piss on your opinions And if I stand on top of the world Then maybe I'll find somebody I know And if I don't Laughin' is all that I can do Tryin' to keep from fallin' through Nothin' ever changes, nothin' ever changes They all got advice to give 'Cause they got no life to live Nothin' ever changes, nothing ever changes Nothin' ever changes but

You, with their sadness in your eyes You've got places you can dream to if you'd only take the time I've got the arms to break your fall But you're sad without a reason and that's the baddest kind of all Down, down see them drown Why do you let it get you down? Those empty headed heroes and those rumours coming round Tired (of) all the people you despise You've got so much a-love inside you that you've never exercised Down, down see them drown You can't stop crying over, can't stop crying over nothing You can't stop crying over, can't stop crying over Nothing (x3) CHORUS: It's all right, so why care? If you bleed for the light I will follow you there 'cos there's a sun kissed cloud over raindog holiday ...holiday CHORUS Crying over nothing (x6) Crying over…

Do you remember British achievement, and living when times were good? Watching the start of the end of an era, would you go back if you could? When I was younger, the smell of the hunger, in all of the music you played Kept me believing you lived for the lifestyle and not just the cash to be made 'cos it's a place where people happen, it's the corner of success Everybody loves you, and you're never second best The smell of easy money, and you follow it to death I smell… the shit… upon your breath CHORUS: I remember you when you were an Englishman But now you're turning American, turning American (x2) Walking away from the crumbling empire Won't make it grow anymore Changing your style 'cos the radio tells me How can you sleep? you're a commercial whore And you'd lick the steaming phallus if it'd offered you a hit Clean you of integrity and then they'll make you fit You think you'll glide to stardom then you'll show them what you've got Your pride, your balls, they own your lot CHORUS I want to be American, I want to be a star You should be over there, you should go far But I don't want to learn 'cos I know it all now You should be guaranteed to find out how You'll always be a wanna be, you look too far away... 'cos it's a place where people happen, it's the corner of success Everybody loves you and you're never second best The smell of easy money, and you follow it to death I smell… the shit… upon your breath CHORUS

(clouded/crying) grey and blue my mind is ten miles high and rising Misty waters calling down surrounding me with healing To rise, to climb above the chaos, and wash away the filth To hide inside my reason, the only one I need And all I can remember is all I can forget To taste you is to trust you CHORUS: I'm hitting that high, I'm hitting that high… Leave me be man I just wanna be on my own (x2) I've got (sickness/secrets) in my head, I got spiders in my bed, I said Leave me be man I just wanna be on my own Twist myself around the wreathing corridors around me Embryo I am my mother smothers me in safety My own, I could be here beside you, in sickness and in health Gonna (dook) me so I need it CHORUS I'm coming down, I'm coming down, I'm coming Down (x3) Wooooah
