california sunshine
skating so freely rolling blind on the promenade
a take a look at the half pipes that you have all made
a take my time so fine like my 99 ice cream cone
a simple kinda place where i could stay where i could build my home
along the shoreline sun kissed bodies are mixed with the sand
this burning sensation slowly travels to the back of my hand
and its surely gonna come and grab me somehow
il take you back to my shed and you"l be placing a bet
the surfboard is waxed down
and so you"l never forget mm mm thats right
you know theses waves are all mine
mm mm i can surf it anytime i like
mm mm when i ripple with moon chimes
and i wait for california sunshine for california sunshine
clean off my shade remove the finger mark upon the lens
and down on the bay life guards running round dressed in red
tick tock hour look out tower sharks on the see bed
am basking in glory save the story of the california stretch
and hollywood hill throw me thrills and the vibe where i can sin
and these la lights seem so bright now the tide has washed in
and its surely gonna come and grab me somehow
il take you back to my shed and you'l be placing a bet
the surfboard is waxed down
and so you'l never forget mm mm thats right
you know theses waves are all mine
mm mm i can surf it anytime i like
mm mm when i ripple with moon shine
and i wait for california sunshine for california sunshine
for california sunshine for california sunshine
for california sunshine for california sunshine

mountain

i’l be your skeleton but bare no bones
watch as they turn to dust
a lonely old car thats salvaged from this wreckage
body’s all covered in rust
i am a building that is weathered no shielding
see my foundations shake
into this nightmare you will threaten to kill me
s quick now must away
cause you'll always be there to remind me
of just how far we may have come
and you'll warn me look out behind me
and see this man on the run
cause i am a rock and i am a mountain
and iv towered over all your seas
and taken a drink out youth from the fountain
but i’m older than iv ever been
so look at the clock and see the seconds they’re counting
the time away for us to greave.... this time away for us to greave
i am the ink thats drawn in your tattoo
but sunlight makes me fade
i am a time bomb that is constantly ticking
but i refuse to detonate
cause i am the food thats buried deep in your closet
well passed sell by date
and i am the thread thats sown into your pocket
caught ripped torn away... caught ripped torn away
and you'll always be there to remind me
of just how far that we might have come
and you'll warn me beware cause behind me
is this man on the run
cause i am a rock and i am a mountain
and iv towered over all your seas
and taken a drink out youth from the fountain
but i’m older than iv ever been
so look at the clock and see the seconds they counting
the time away for us to greave this time away for us to greave
i am a mountain i am a stream

pot of gold

so long to my rainbow i guess i lost me my pot of gold
and everything well it just aint the same yo
and i guess these bridges will never last
so long to my girlfriend i met you when i was just 15
and now theres no more phony letters or post cards to send
and guess no reason for you to write to me
so you watch your world collide without me by your side
forever till we die because this is the last time that i’l be running back running back
draw you this chalk line that you’l be rubbing black rubbing black
inside of my mind i’l know that i’m back on track back on track
say yay yay yay i’m back on track back on track
so long to my best friend i guess i had me quite a few
sometimes i break up relationships sometimes they mend
friends are always there to see you thru
so long to my family i hold you close here in my hands
at times we experience such tragedies
but like i said things weren’t meant to last
and you watch your work aline an al be by your side
forever till we die because this is the last time that i’l be running back running back
draw you this chalk line that you’l be rubbing black rubbing black
inside of this mind you know i’m back on track back on track
t say so long yay im back on track back on track
t say so long yay im back on track back on track
t say so long yay im back on track back on track

if the pieces of my mind they start to crack then you’l hold them steady
cause iv been in the trap’s waiting on gun sounds and u better believe i’m ready
cause this machine that we have built will not communicate shut it down
and before you leave you turn out the lights on everybody in this old town
and just for my violence i’m gonna stay here in silence and then i'll go home
so sick and tired of being admired they wont leave me alone yeh you’ll never leave me alone
because holding on to you has always been so new and a little bit frightening
so out with old news its time to tell the truth and you know that its exciting
so lets cut loose when this storm brews and hits like thunder and lightning like thunder and lightning yea its like thunder
cause if the pieces of my heart they start to implode here on impact
then i’l be here trapped the side of the road and you know that its a fact
cause this machine that we have built will not communicate shut it down
and before you leave you turn out the lights on everybody in this old town
and just for a second with finger your begging come over here boy
forgetting to mention but in time yea i’l reckon i’l never be your toy
yea il never be your fucking toy
cause holding on to you has always been so new and a little bit frightening
so out with old news its time to tell the truth and you know that its exciting
so lets cut loose when this storm brews and its like thunder and lightning like thunder and lightning yea
cause holding on to you has always been so new and a little bit frightening
so out with old news its time to tell the truth and you know that its exciting
so lets cut loose when this storm brews and its like thunder and lightning like thunder and lightning yeay its like thunder

oxygen

i’l be a speaker alone in a box when
delivering my last stand
and you’l bring the matches to ignite the fire
when petrols leaking from your can
cause i’m just a hero been traveling to zero
been up and down distorted lands
cause flames that go higher will only aspire
so douse them out with bags of sand
chorus
and i’m calling out for a fire brigade
when i’m afraid of everything an
999 catch me in your freak parade
you’l see me there waiting the last one i’m waving
breathing oxygen oxygen
early in the morning
breathing oxygen oxygen
open my mouth and start yawning
breath oxygen oxygen
an live my live without warning
cause i’m a lone ranger been heading for danger
i carry poison in my veins
awake in your manger but i’m not a stranger
i’ve traveled thru the storm and rains
cause flames that go higher will only aspire
so douse them out with bags of sand
and remain a here thats traveling to zero
up and down distorted lands
chorus
cause oxygen fading its time i should leave
struggle so hard when i’m trying to breath again
cause i’m just your hero thats traveling to zero
up and down distorted lands
cause i’m just your hero thats traveling to zero
up and down distorted lands

so you tired to escape you ask if a maybe take you with me
but your a little late to sail away on my boat thats going out to the sea
and i can hardly wait to see the sunset strip thats bringing remedy
and i wont hesitate to throw you out my rope i see you drowning
and ohhh my ohhh me the rains they came falling
and they washed me down to the sea and the day break was dawning
and then all around was scenery it was beautiful as can be
beautiful as can be beautiful as can be with scenery
so shake your coconut tree and through binoculars
you’l maybe send me a wave
but i can hardly see just dig around
down here with my bucket and spade
and how the sunshine glows al find myself a cool path and lay in the shade
and watch the scenery grow and look around at the beautiful things god made
cause ohh my ohhh me the rains they came falling
and they washed me down to the sea and the day break was dawning
and then all around was scenery it was beautiful as can be
beautiful as can be beautiful as can be with scenery
it was scenery it was scenery it was scenery

cancer
03:05

you say that you got the cancer
eats away down in your heart
but iv been telling you thats not the answer
and i keep telling you it from the start
you say that you got a tumor
eats away down in your brain
but i think you've got a sick sense of humor
and maybe baby your a little insane
inside your cold cold heart is a cold cold mind
and your cold cold tears will slowly dry back into your eyes
into your eyes
you say that you got a disease
from which you’l never get no release
and you keep telling lies by accident
well the truth i know is sure been bent
so why say that you got an illness
when you know they'l always think of you less
cause i know you got a sick sense of humor
when you lie about your brain tumor
in you’r cold cold heart is a cold cold mind
now watch cold cold tears as they slowly dry back into your eyes
eyes eyes
flow into your eyes
