Take Care The Road You Choose
Take Care The Road You Choose
If I ever get out of these shoes
And I shrug off a skin or two
I'll come looking in the wasted places
Beat-up, last ditch rendezvous
If it had been some other place
Some other time to find me
If I had been in my right mind
Not looking for ghosts behind me
Then I'd hold you with my fingers burning
Kiss your little tears of yearning
But sometimes there's no turning
Take Care The Road You Choose
If I ever get out of my mind
Guillotine myself to stop me dreaming
And let my heart go where it will
Without those other voices screaming
Some take the high, some take the low
Some take the straight and narrow
Some still standing at the crossroads
Some fly like an arrow
With my radar I'll find you, darling
No regrets to blind you, darling
And never look behind
Take Care The Road You Choose
Mr. Stupid
If I say what's on my mind dear
The judge will slap me down
You got me in the corner
And it's only the second round
So I'll keep my mouth shut darling
I'll be quiet as a lamb
And I'll act just as dumb dear
As you really think I am
I can shake your hand like an orang-utang
Act goofy as a clown
Clear the streets and book your seats
Mr Stupid's back in town
You can see me shoot right through that hoop
It's a trick of great renown
Flip your lids and bring the kids
Mr Stupid's back in town
And when your friends point out you're stuck with
A neanderthal for an ex
Don't fret about it darling
I still sign my name on cheques
I could grunt my way through questions
I could scratch myself and howl
I could numb you with my dumbness
I could lay it on with a trowel
I can shake your hand like an orang-utang
Act goofy as a clown
Clear the streets and book your seats
Mr Stupid's back in town
O Mr Stupid's back in town
Mr Stupid's back in town
Mr Stupid's back in town
On your thirty seventh birthday
When he handed you that mink
Did you still feel like a victim
With your elbows in the sink?
But I've said too much already
Now I think I'll step aside
My alter ego's ready
For any questions on your mind
I can shake your hand like an orang-utang
Act goofy as a clown
Clear the streets and book your seats
Mr Stupid's back in town
You can see me shoot right through that hoop
It's a trick of great renown
Flip your lids and bring the kids
Mr Stupid, Mr Stupid's back in town
Dad's gonna kill me
Out in the desert there's a soldier lying dead
Vultures pecking the eyes out of his head
Another day that could have been me there instead
Nobody loves me here, nobody loves me here
Dad's gonna kill me
Dad's gonna kill me
You hit the booby trap and you're in pieces
With every bullet your risk increases
Old Ali Baba, he's a different species
Nobody loves me here, nobody loves me here
Dad's gonna kill me
Dad's gonna kill me
I'm dead meat in my HumV Frankenstein
I hit the road block, God knows I never hit the mine
The dice rolled and I got lucky this time
Dad's gonna kill me
Dad's gonna kill me
I've got a wife, a kid, another on the way
I might get home if I can live through today
Before I came out here I never used to pray
Nobody loves me here, nobody loves me here
Dad's gonna kill me
Dad's in a bad mood, dad's got the blues
It's someone else's mess that I didn't choose
At least we're winning on the Fox evening news
Nobody loves me here
Dad's gonna kill me
Dad's gonna kill me
Dawn Patrol went out and didn't come back
Hug the wire and pray like I told you, Mac
Or they'll be shoveling bits of you into a sack
Dad's gonna kill me
And who's that stranger walking in my dreams
And whose that stranger cast a shadow 'cross my heart
And who's that stranger, I dare speak his name
Must be old death a-walking
Must be old death a-walking
Dad's gonna kill me
7 muzzle monkeys standing in a row
Standing waiting for the sandbox to blow
Sitting targets in the wild west show
Nobody loves me here
Dad's gonna kill me
Another angel got his wings this week
Charbroiled with his own Willie Pete
Nobody's dying if you speak double-speak
Dad's gonna kill me
Poppy-Red
Emma love used to lie
Like a pearl by my side
Everything sweet, everything so complete
Emma love makes her bed
The poppies grow over her head
There in a field, there in a field
Warm and red as the blood she shed
Now everything is poppy red, poppy red
Everything is poppy red in loving memory
Everything is poppy red, poppy red
Everything is poppy red
The gift she gave to me
In loving memory, memory, memory
She said there's a wind that blows
Where it blows from who knows?
And if I don't go I'll never know peace of mind
Everything's upside down
Everything's turned around
She was my first, she was my last
She was my friend until the end
Now everything is poppy red, poppy red
Everything is poppy red in loving memory
Everything is poppy red, poppy red
Everything is poppy red
The gift she gave to me
In loving memory, memory, memory
I'll always see her that way
Dressed in that red white and grey
Slowly she turned
Slowly she turned
Into the ring and walked away
Now everything is poppy red, poppy red
Everything is poppy red in loving memory
Everything is poppy red, poppy red
Everything is poppy red
The gift she gave to me
In loving memory, memory, memory, memory
Bad Monkey
One thing always leads to another
In life and love they say
You got too close and now
That boy's gonna make you rue the day
You grab his ankles when he flies
You catch him when he falls
Here's the thing to say to him
Before you climb the walls:
Shame, shame on you, you Bad Monkey
One day you're up, next day you're down
Why do you monkey my heart around
Shame, shame on you, you Bad Monkey
I'm not coming on the roller coaster with you
I see your nerves are jangled, honey,
You're a walking emotional wreck
He's dealing you some jokers
Off the bottom of the dec
He goes from joy to suicide
About 15 times a day
Here's the thing to scream out loud
From 100 miles away
Shame, shame on you, you Bad Monkey
One day you're up, next day you're down
Why do you monkey my heart around
Shame, shame on you, you Bad Monkey
I'm not coming on the roller coaster with you
Where's the joy in a boy who dribbles
When he drinks his tea
I've seen better manners from
A baby chimpanzee
On fairground rides you grip the sides
And scream until you're blue
You'll be screaming the rest of your life
If he gets hold with you
Francesca
Who shook the stars from her eyes
Who shook the stars from her eyes
Who took the shine
Made water out of wine
And left her alone in the world
Who put a cloak round her soul
Who put a cloak round her soul
Who stole the prize
That glittered in her eyes
And left her the fool of the world
O Francesca
Who's going to save you now
O Francesca
Who's going to save you now
It takes guts to put your hand up
To risk it all and stand up to the
Tongue twisters
Campaign of whispers
Who dragged her name
Through the dirt
Who dragged her name
Through the dirt
Trampled it down
Burned it to the ground
Left her the orphan of the world
Who put that twist in her vows
Who put that twist in her vows
Who took her speech
Bent it out of reach
Put out the light of the world
Who laid her down, took her rose
Who laid her down, took her rose
Who took her flower
Now she charges by the hour
Left her the w**** of the world
