Journey
to the center of the mind
Leave your cares behind
Come with us and find
The pleasures of a journey
to the center of the mind
Come along if you care
Come along if you dare
Take a ride to the land
inside of your mind
Beyond the seas of thought
Beyone the realm of what
Across the streams of hopes
and dreams where things are really not
Come along if you care
Come along if you dare
Take a ride to the land
inside of your mind
But please realise
You'll probably be surprised
For it's the land unknown
to man
Where fantasy is fact
So if you can, please understand
You might not come back
Come along if you care
Come along if you dare
Take a ride to the land
inside and you'll see
How happy life could be
If all of mankind
Would take the time to journey
to the center of the mind
Would take the time to journey
to the center of the mind
Center of the mind
Substitute
You think we look pretty
good together
You think my shoes are made
of leather
Well, I'm a substitute for
another guy
I look pretty tall but my
heels are high
The simple things you see
are all complicated
I look pretty young, but
I'm just back-dated, yeah
Substitute your lies for
fact
I can see right through
your plastic mac
I look all white, but my
dad was black
My fine looking suit is
really made out of sack
I was born with a plastic
spoon in my mouth
The north side of my town
faced east, and the east was facing south
And now you dare to look
me in the eye
Those crocodile tears are
what you cry
It's a genuine problem,
you won't try
To work it out at all you
just pass it by, pass it by
Substitute me for him
Substitute my coke for gin
Substitute you for my mum
At least I'll get my washing
done
Well, I'm a substitute for
another guy
I look pretty tall but my

Out of
time
You don't know what's going
on
You've been away for far
too long
You can't come back and
think you are still mine
You're out of touch, my
baby
My poor discarded baby
I said, baby, baby, baby,
you're out of time
Well, baby, baby, baby, you're
out of time
I said, baby, baby, baby,
you're out of time
You are left out
Out of there, baby, out
of doubt
'cause baby, baby, baby,
you're out of time
You thought you were a clever
girl
Giving up your social whirl
But you can't come back,
be the first in line, oh no
You're obsolete my baby
My poor old-fashioned baby
I said baby, baby, baby
you're out of time
Well, baby, baby, baby, you're
out of time
I said, baby, baby, baby,
you're out of time
You are left out
Out of there, baby, out
of doubt
'cause baby, baby, baby,
you're out of time
Baby, baby, baby, you're
out of time
I said, baby, baby, baby,
you're out of time
You are left out, yes you
are
I said, you're out of there,
baby, out of doubt
I said, baby, baby, baby,
you're out of time
The shape
of things to come
There's a new sun
Risin' up angry in the sky
And there's a new voice
Cryin' "We're not afraid
to die."
Let the old world make believe
It's blind and deaf and
dumb
But nothing can change the
shape of things to come
There are changes
Lyin' ahead in every road
And there are new thoughts
Ready and waiting to explode
When tomorrow is today
The bell may toll for some
But nothing can change the
shape of things to come
The future's comin' in, now
Sweet and strong
Ain't no-one to hold it
back for long
There are new dreams
Crowdin' out old reality
There's revolution
Sweepin' in like a fresh
new breeze
Let the old world make believe
It's blind and deaf and
dumb
But nothing can change the
shape of things
Nothing can change the shape
of things
Nothing can change the shape
of things
Nothing can change the shape
of things to come
Somebody
to love
When the truth is found to
be lies
And all the joys within
you dies
Don't you want somebody
to love
Don't you need somebody
to love
Wouldn't you love somebody
to love
You better find somebody
to love
When the garden flowers,
baby, are dead, yes
And your mind is full of
red
Don't you want somebody
to love
Don't you need somebody
to love
Wouldn't you love somebody
to love
You better find somebody
to love
Your eyes, I say, your eyes,
baby, look like his, yeah
But in your head baby i'm
afraid you don't know where it is
Don't you want somebody
to love
Don't you need somebody
to love
Wouldn't you love somebody
to love
You better find somebody
to love
Tears are running, up and
down your breast
And your friends baby they
treat you like a guest
Don't you want somebody
to love
Don't you need somebody
to love
Wouldn't you love somebody
to love
You better find somebody
to love
When
I was young
The rooms were so much colder
then
My father was a soldier
then
And times were very hard
When I was young
When I was young
I smoked my first cigarette
at ten
And for girls I had a that
yen
And I had quite a ball
When I was young
When I was young it was more
important
Pain more painful and laughter
much louder, yeah
When I was young
When I was young
I met my first love at thirteen
She was brown, and I was
pretty green
And I learned quite a lot
When I was young
When I was young
When I was young it was more
important
Pain more painful and laughter
much louder, yeah
When I was young
When I was young
My faith was so much stronger
then
I believed in fellow men
And I was so much older
then
When I was young
When I was young
When I was young
When I was young
When I was young
When I was young
When I was young
7 and
7 is
When I was a boy I thought
about the times I'd be a man
I'd sit inside a bottle
and pretend I was in a can
In my lonely room I'd sit
my mind in an ice cream cone
You can throw me if you
wanna 'cause I'm a bone and I go
Oop-ip-ip, oop-ip-ip, yeah!
If I don't start cryin' it's
because I have got no eyes
My father's in the fireplace
and my dog lies hypnotized
Through a crack of light
I was unable to find my way
Trapped inside a night but
I'm a day and I go
Oop-ip-ip, oop-ip-ip, yeah!
One... Two... Three... Four!
My back
pages
Crimson flames tied through
my ears
Rollin' high and mighty
traps
Pounced with fire on flaming
roads
Using ideas as my maps
"We'll meet on edges, soon,"
Said I
Proud 'neath heated brow
Ah, but I was so much older
then,
I'm younger than that now
Half-wracked prejudice leaped
forth
"Rip down all hate," I screamed
Lies that life is black
and white
Spoke from my skull I dreamed
Romantic facts of musketeers
Foundation deep, somehow
Ah, but I was so much older
then,
I'm younger than that now
In a soldier's stance, I
aimed my hand
At the mongrel dogs who
teach
Fearing that I'd become
my enemy
In the instance that I preach
My pathway led by confusion
boats
Mutiny from stern to bow
Ah, but I was so much older
then,
I'm younger than that now
Ah, but I was so much older
then,
I'm younger than that now
Yes, my guard stood hard
when abstract threats
Too noble to neglect
Deceived me into thinking
I had something to protect
Good and bad, I define these
terms
Quite clear, no doubt, somehow
Ah, but I was so much older
then,
I'm younger than that now
I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now
Ah, but I was so much older
then,
I'm younger than that now
Can't
seem to make you mine
I can't seem to make you
mine
I can't seem to make you
mine
You're flyin' around like
a bee
Hurtin' everything you see
I tried everything I know
To make you wanna love me
so
The only thing you do
Is try to put the hurt on
me
Can't you see what you're
doin' to me
You fill my heart with a
misery
With every breath and step
I take
I'm more in love with you
I can't go on like this
A little bit of love, not
one kiss
I gotta have your love everyday
A love that's real that
will stay
I can't seem to make you
mine
I can't seem to make you
mine
I can't seem to make you
mine
I can't seem to make you
mine
Can't you see what you're
doin' to me
You fill my heart with a
misery
With every breath and step
I take
I'm more in love with you
I can't seem to make you
mine
I can't seem to make you
mine
Come back, baby, to me
In My Misery
I give you love, not any
day
Never ever go away
I can't seem to make you
mine
I can't seem to make you
mine
Have
you ever seen the rain
Someone told me long ago
There's a calm before the
storm,
I know, it's been comin'
for some time
When it's over, so they say,
It'll rain a sunny day,
I know, shinin' down like
water
I want to know, have you
ever seen the rain?
I want to know, have you
ever seen the rain?
Comin' down on a sunny day
Yesterday, and days before,
Sun is cold and rain is
hard,
I know, been that way for
all my time
'til forever, on it goes
Through the circle, fast
and slow,
I know, it can't stop, I
wonder
I want to know, have you
ever seen the rain?
I want to know, have you
ever seen the rain?
Comin' down on a sunny day
Yeah!
Someone told me long ago

water
I want to know, have you

I want to know, have you

Comin' down on a sunny day
I
can't control myself
I can't stand still cause
you've got me goin'
Your slacks are low and
your hips are showin'
I take you girl as you're
standin' there
Your low cut slacks and
your long black hair
Don't want you goin' round
with no one else
'cause when I'm with you
I can't control myself
Defenses down and you got
me shakin'
You got me so that my nerves
are breakin'
If you knew me like I know
you girl
Your knees would bend and
your hair would curl
You make me move yea like
no one else
'cause when I'm with you
I can't control myself
I've got this feeling that's
inside of me
It makes me think of how
things used to be
It makes me feel alright
When I'm with you at night
and we love
And we love
You thrill me so with this
big temptation
This kind of feelin' could
move a nation
And I'm okay when I'm here
with you
I do the things that you
want me to
I do these things for no
one else
'cause when I'm with you
I can't control myself
I can't control myself
I can't control myself
I can't control myself
I can't control myself
I can't control myself,
baby
