Lyrics - You Gotta Go There To Come Back: Stereophonics @ WelshBands
Help Me (She's Out Of Her Mind)
Dancing
In the mirror
You could see her from a mile man
She was alright
She looked right over her shoulder
Right at me
I was falling through the floor now
She came, over me
Help me, oh help me,
She's out of her mind
Help me, oh help me
Somebody tonight
Laughing, all night
She could tell a funny story
She could stay up all night
She was someone to remember
She was black and white
We did it on a sunbed
And she did it right
Help me, oh help me,
She's out of her mind
Help me, somebody
Oh help me, tonight
Prancing, around a low lit light
Running rags over her shoulders
Red chilli lights
She drink you underneath the table
She hold you heavenly tight
Slap you right across ya white face
She make you cry like a child
Help me, oh help me,
She's out of her mind
Help me, oh help me
Somebody, tonight
Crazy, out of her mind
You wanna shoot her wanna love her
You can't make up your mind
You wanna tell her all your stories
Wanna open your mind
You wanna show her how your heart works
But she ain't got the time
You're fighting, all the time
There's nothing working, nothing gaining
Just a waste of time
You're trying hard to remember
All the beautiful times
But yer clouded by the bullshit
All of the time
Loving, on a Saturday night, making love under a blanket
With the telly on loud
You wanna show her that you love her
But there's sex on ya mind
Makin' love from watching movies
I think I'm doin' it right
Help me, oh help me
She's out of, her mind
Help me, so help me
Somebody tonight
Maybe Tomorrow
I've been down and I'm wondering why These little black clouds Keep walking around With me With me
It wastes time And I'd rather be high Think I'll walk me outside And buy a rainbow smile But be free They're all free
So maybe tomorrow I'll find my way home So maybe tomorrow I'll find my way home
I look around at a beautiful life Been the upperside of down Been the inside of out But we breathe We breathe
I wanna breeze and an open mind I wanna swim in the ocean Wanna take my time for me All me
So maybe tomorrow I'll find my way home So maybe tomorrow I'll find my way home
So maybe tomorrow I'll find my way home So maybe tomorrow I'll find my way home
So maybe tomorrow I'll find my way home So maybe tomorrow I'll find my way home
Madame Helga
Mary Mary where you been You've been out all night You ain't got no sleep
I've been dancing in the hills At a place I know She said 'and that's the place Where the fire flies glow'
Had to slap my white face Pull my head from the clouds
And I kept Buying and, lying and flying, relying and dying To know what spins her world around
Good morning I missed ya But ya bring me down I saw an Indian roller Today on the line
It was the forty eighth hour We fought our forty eighth fight Madame Helga's folly Is where I spent last night
She's been married not once Not twice, but three And that's the livin' lovin' woman I want me to be
There were pictures and paintings Of freaks like me So I drank with my devil For my company
Had to slap my white face Pull my head from my clouds
And I kept Buying and, lying and flying, relying and dying To know what spins her world around
Good morning I missed ya But ya bringing me down I saw an Indian roller Today on the line
It was the forty eighth hour We fought our forty eighth fight Madame Helga's folly Is where I spent last night
Good morning I missed ya But ya bringing me down I saw an Indian roller Today on the line
It was the forty eighth hour We fought our forty eighth fight Madame Helga's folly Is where I spent last night
Climbing The Wall
I'm just lying here Thinking to myself again I'm round the bend
I've been driving round Talking to myself again Not making no sense
What makes you and What makes me What makes men lie Through their teeth And what makes ten-ton birds Fly me across the sea
And who's to say, that if the sun went out today That all the movie stars would drive their cars away Fallen angels from their pay cheques on parade
What's going down? What's going around? I'm climbing the wall
I'm just standing here Looking at myself again I'm going blind
I'm just sitting here Playing with myself again It's turning me on
So what makes you and what makes me What makes women lie through their teeth And what makes ten-ton ships Sail me across the sea
And who's to say, that if the sun went out today That all the movie stars would drive their cars away Fallen angels from their pay cheques on parade What's going down? What's going around? I'm climbing the wall
So what makes you and what makes me What makes people lie through their teeth And what makes ten-ton trains Rail me under the sea
And who's to say, that if the sun went out today That all the movie stars would drive their cars away Fallen angels from their pay cheques on parade What's going down? What's going around? I'm climbing the wall
Getaway
Remember when we were angels Before we stole cars And when sex and drugs Lived up in another world... not a care in the world
Hide and seek, kissing and running Till you were out of breath In the late night day sun Until you Mamma called you home... and you didn't wanna go
Fly High Be my getaway Gotta getaway
Fly High Be my getaway Gotta getaway
Coppers, robbers, cowboys and Indians Hanging round the corner Of the street you lived How come it felt so far away... just a stone throw away
Your best friend wasn't someone you worked with And money from your old man Would burn a hole in yer pocket all day... Not a single debt to pay
Fly High Be my getaway Gotta getaway...
You Stole My Money Honey
You stole my money honey You're cold your blood's stopped running And know you're buying your new life Can't help but find you funny The clothes you wear are something You made your whole life boasting lies
Pretend you're high and something To think, you think I'm dumb, you're blind!
I'll get by fine without you I lie about you You got no spine only mine Don't you know wrong from right
It's up to you You're such a fool
See I'm a giver, taker! You liked your cocaine chaser The girls you love all sleep around You got a piece of something But what it's worth is nothing Coz what you want you just can't buy
Pretend you're high on something To think you think I'm dumb, you're blind
I'll get by fine without you I lie about you You got no spine only mine Don't you know wrong from right You got no style about you I try to like you I got no time for you now Cos your time's running out
It's up to you You're such a fool
I'll get by fine without you I lie about you You got no spine only mine Don't you know wrong from right You got no style about you I try to like you I got no time for you now Cos your time's running out
It's up to you It's up to you Such a fool It's up to you
Jealousy
Jealousy my devil Jealousy my hell Jealousy insomnia Jealousy sleep well
Innocence is heaven Innocence is hell Innocence in everyone Innocence is dead
Four and twenty black boys Singing in the street Getting high on most things Wishing they were free
My angel, my devil My hell, my heaven My storm, my calm My photograph, my palm
Four and twenty white boys Singing in the the street Getting high on most things Wishing they were free
I've been your preacher I've been your boy I've been your teacher I've been your joy I've been your drunk I've been your home I've been your rock You've been my stone
Four and twenty poor boys Singing in the street Getting high on most things Wishing they were free
I'm Alright (You Gotta Go There To Come Back)
I'll drink another drink for you One, two, three, four, five, once I drank a fish alive I'll drop another pill for you Six, seven, eight, nine, ten, did it before, I'll do it again
I'll tell another joke for you Did you hear the one about the one that looks like you I'll sleep with sleep arounds for you Why don't you scratch my back and chew the tongue I chew
I'm alright I'm alright
I'll tell another lie for you Tell you what you wanna hear, but that don't make it true I'll wear another smile for you That way you know I'm fine, and having fun with you
I'll draw another line for you That way you know I'm hip, that way you know I'm cool I'll smoke another smoke for you I'll blow back in your mouth and you can blow back too
I'm alright I'm alright You gotta go there to come back
I'll take another punch for you Tie my hands behind my back, that way you cannot lose I'll make another pound for you So you can drive your motor car, and drive you to the moon
I'm alright I'm alright
You. Me. Us. Free... we're alright, alright Love. Pain. Hate. Rain... we're alright, alright Give. Take. Time. Place... we're alright, alright
Nothing Precious At All
I been people watching again I think they watch me too There's a new girl at the coffee house She's got first day blues
She's got red hair and a motorbike And lime green shoes A mohair hat and a summers dress And black tattoos
And then she fly away In her high heel feet And her fire dress And she's throwing things That took her time to save it up And buy what's special Then she look around And sees what's left And it's nothing much Nothing precious at all Nothing precious at all
Gonna drink herself to sleep tonight And that's nothing new She goes out almost nine every night And gets high as the moon
She takes photographs of American cars Where she went to school She likes fireworks and candlelight And fake bad news
And then she fly away In her high heel feet And her fire dress And she's throwing things That took her time to save it up And buy what's special Then she look around And sees what's left And it's nothing much Nothing precious at all Nothing precious at all
Nothing precious at all
Is she a loner or a mother's girl That's up to you She got fine lines round her tired eyes And they're painted blue She could sleep around with anyone If she wanted to Gotta go my time is up right now Got stuff to do
Rainbows & Pots Of Gold
I heard you're doing well Selling art and everything I like you're stuff; good for you I'll buy a piece or maybe two
Do you ever think of me? Do you remember all our stupid dreams? Rainbows and pots of gold So much to prove before we got old
I took you places round the world I miss you're face sometimes you know You took my picture a thousand times I bought them back; I don't mind
I lost my way but found my track I'm sorry if I never listened back I've been round; I've been up and down And you missed the one we dressed like clowns
And how's your car and how's your life? How's my friend; when's she gonna be your wife? I'm sitting up writing down These things I sometimes dream about
I knew your number off by heart It's the only one I like to talk It wasn't me using you I trusted you; one of the few
And we had some laughs; had some rows But in the end the walls came down You like the place I'm living now It's a shame you can't come around
And I've grown a lot since we last spoke Got myself together; fixed what was broke I wonder if we'll talk again Or drink together just like then
I suppose it's different now it's new Whoever points the finger at who I really hope you're happy both of you And maybe sometimes you miss me too
I Miss You Now
I feel I wanna hold you, wanna tell you that you'll be alright Sang this song today, it's recalling your pictures all in my mind I miss you now I miss you now Although we're getting old now my old friends gonna leave me and die I'm helpless, it's gonna get us before we get this, I wanna kiss you goodbye I miss you now I miss you now I miss you now
I feel I wanna hold you, wanna tell you that you'll be alright I'm helpless, it's gonna get us before we get this, I wanna kiss you goodbye I miss you now I miss you now I miss you now
High As The Ceiling
Come on get up high as the ceiling Get up on the floor Think I lost my mind and my feeling Been there all before
Find my way Free my soul Blind and loaded Lined and sorted It's time......
If you think you'll make a fool out of me I got a little something up my sleeve I can think of better places to be So get yourself down on the street
So come on take my hand if you need me Just knock up on my door You got to stop your mind from dreaming And live your life some more
Find my way Free my soul Wine and water Shine light on my time......
If you think you'll make a fool out of me I got a little something up my sleeve I can think of better places to be So get yourself down on the street
Come on get up high as the ceiling Leave me a light at home I'm running out of time and I need it I need a lifetime more
Find my way Free my soul Eyes wide open Time is on my side......
If you think you'll make a fool out of me I got a little something up my sleeve I can think of better places to be So get yourself down on the street
Come on get up high as the ceiling Get up on the floor Come on get up high as the ceiling Get up on the floor Come on get up high as the ceiling Get up on the floor Think I lost my mind and my feeling Been there all before
Since I Told You It's Over
Black and blue from the wind and the rain Said I'm sorry for the lies and the pain I never ever meant to make you cry If I could take you back, you know, I would, I wanna burn up and die
So take a look at me now Since I told you it's over You got a hole in your heart I'll find a four leaf clover You can't tell me this now This far down the line That you're never, ever gonna get over me
You've seen a cross, it's a cross I bear You're drinking, hard up, living without a hope or a care You're making do to please, see what makes you smile You're not around for long, you gotta see what's gonna move your life right along
So take a look at me now Since I told you it's over You got a hole in your heart I'll find a four leaf clover You can't tell me this now This far down the line That you're never, ever gonna get over me
I'm lost I'm cold I'm getting old My head is filled with lies I told
I've been down I've been around But I've fallen on my own two feet And I've left you out to drown I never meant for that
I look around, sometimes I stare I think back now and then, I hope you know I care I walked away that day, trying to treat you right But you were on your track, it was me turning back, I left you freezing outside
So take a look at me now Since I told you it's over You got a hole in your heart I'll find a four leaf clover You can't tell me this now This far down the line That you're never, ever gonna get over me Never get over me Never get over me
But you were on your track, it was me turning back, I left you freezing outside
So take a look at me now Since I told you it's over You got a hole in your heart I'll find a four leaf clover You can't tell me this now This far down the line
