Lyrics – Don’t Believe The Truth

1. Turn Up The Sun main

i carry madness
everywhere i go
over the border
and back to the snow

so if you see me
and i look right through
you shouldn't take it
as a reflection on you

come on, turn up the sun
turn it up for everyone
love one another
love one another

the boys in the bubble
they wanna be free
they got so blind
that they cannot see

but i'm not your keeper
i don't have a key
i got a piano
i can't find the 'c'

come on, turn up the sun
turn it up for everyone
love one another
love one another

come on, turn up the sun
turn it up for everyone, yeah
love one another
love one another

2. Mucky Fingers main

i know you think you deserve
an explanation on the meanings of life
but what you think that you heard
slipped away out the back of your mind!!

you'll get your mucky fingers burned
you get your truth from the lies you were learned
when all your plastic believers will leave us
they won't return (walk on)

and when you look in that mirror
and you're tying up your buttons and bows
and as you face your disease
you can squeeze into the emperor's clothes

you found your god in a paperback
you get your history from the union jack
and all your brothers and sisters have gone
and they won't come back

i'm fed up with life in the city
all the phoneys have blown my mind
when i'm gone, you look like you'd miss me
so come along with me
but don't ask why

cos it's all mine!!
it's all mine!!
it's all mine!!
it's all mine!!

cos it's all mine!!
it's all mine!!
it's all mine!!
it's all mine!!

3. Lyla main

Calling all the stars to fall
And catch the silver sunlight in your hands
Come for me, set me free
Lift me up and take me where I stand

She believes in everything
And everyone and you and yours and mine
I waited for a thousand years
For you to come and blow me out my mind

Hey Lyla... The star's about to fall
So what d'you say.. Lyla
The world around us makes me feel so small... Lyla
If you can't hear me call, then I can't say... Lyla
Heaven help you catch me if I fall

She's the queen of all I've seen
And every song and city far and near
Heaven help my mademoiselle
She rings the bell for all the world to hear

Hey Lyla... The star's about to fall
So what d'you say.. Lyla
The world around us makes me feel so small... Lyla
If you can't hear me call, then I can't say... Lyla
Heaven help you catch me if I fall

Hey Lyla... The star's about to fall
So what d'you say.. Lyla
The world around us makes me feel so small... Lyla
If you can't hear me call, then I can't say...
Lyla
Heaven help you catch me when I fall

5. The Importance Of Being Idle main

i sold my soul for the second time
cos the man don't pay me
i begged my landlord for some more time
he said "son the bills are waiting"

my best friend called me the other night
he say "man - you crazy"
my girlfriend told me to get a life
she say "boy - you lazy"

but i don't mind
as long as there's a bed beneath the stars that shine
i'll be fine, if you give me a minute
a man's got a limit
i can't get a life if my heart's not in it

i don't mind
as long as there's a bed beneath the stars that shine
i'll be fine, if you give me a minute
a man's got a limit
i can't get a life if my heart's not in it

i've lost my faith in the summertime
cos it don't stop raining
the sky all day is as black as night
but i'm not complaining

i begged my doctor for one more line
he say "son - words fail me
it ain't your place to be killing time"
i guess i'm just lazy

i don't mind
as long as there's a bed beneath the stars that shine
i'll be fine, if you give me a minute
a man's got a limit
i can't get a life if my heart's not in it

6. The Meaning Of Soul main

I'm gonna show you 'bout the meaning of soul
I'm takin' a load tonight
Get outta my way
I'm 'bout to dig what you say
An that ain't enough alright

A different beat
I'm outta your league
I'm 10 outta' 10 all night
Get outta my way
I'm bout to dig what you say
An that ain't enough alright

All rise I see the love in your eyes
If it's allright then I'll be your light

I gotta show you 'bout the meaning of soul
I'm takin' a load tonight
Get outta my way
I'm bout to dig what you say
An that ain't enough alright

A different beat

I'm 10 outta' 10 all night
Get outta my way

An that ain't enough alright

All rise I see the love in your eyes
If it's allright then I'll be your light

7. Guess God Thinks I'm Abel main

I could be your lover
You could be your mine
We go on for ever
Till the end of time

You could be my best friend
Stay up all night long
You could be my railroad
We go on and on

Let's get alone, there's nothing here to do
Let's go find a rainbow
I could be wrong, but what am I to do
Guess God thinks I'm Abel

You could be my enemy
I guess there's still time
I get round to loving you
Is that such a crime?

Let's get alone, there's nothing here to do
Let's go find a rainbow
I could be wrong, but what am I to do
Guess God thinks I'm Abel

No-one could break us, no-one could take us
If you tried
No-one could break us, no-one could take us
If you tried
No-one could break us, no-one could take us
If you tried

Come along let's make it tonight

8. Part Of The Queue main

Suddenly I've found that I've lost my way in this City
The streets and the thousands of colours all bleed into one
I fall down
Heaven won't help me
I called out
no-one would hear
All of a sudden I've lost my way out of this City

Stand tall
Stand proud
Every beginning is breaking it's promise
I'm having trouble just finding some soul in this town

The names on the faces in places
They mean nothing to me
It's all they can do to be part of the queue in this town
I fall down
Heaven won't help me
I call out
No-one will hear
There'll be no tomorrow they say
Well I say more's the pity

Stand tall
Stand proud
Every beginning has broken it's promise
I'm having trouble just finding my soul in this town

Stand tall
Stand proud
Every beginning has broken it's promise
I'm having trouble just finding my soul in this town

Finding my soul in this town

Keep on trying
Keep on trying
Keep on trying
Keep on trying...............

9. Keep The Dream Alive main

'four seasons' seconds flicker and flash, i'm alone
a lonely screen provides the scene, it's no home
every night i hear you scream
but you don't say what you mean
this was my dream, but now my dream has flown

i'm at the crossroads, waiting for a sign
my life is standing still, but i'm still alive
every night i think i know -
in the morning - where did it go?
the answers disappear when i open my eyes

i'm no stranger to this place
where real life and dreams collide
and even though i fall from grace
i will keep the dream alive
i will keep the dream alive

'four seasons' seconds flicker and flash, i'm alone
a lonely screen provides the scene, it's no home
every night i hear you scream
but you don't say what you mean
this was my dream, but now my dream has flown

i'm no stranger to this place
where real life and dreams collide
and even though i fall from grace
i will keep the dream alive
i will keep the dream alive

i'm no stranger to this place
where real life and dreams collide
and even though i fall from grace
i will keep the dream alive
i will keep the dream alive

nah nah nah
nah nah nah

10. A Bell Will Ring main

A little space, a little time
See what it can do
A little faith, piece of mind
See what puts things through

The sun will shine on you again
A bell will ring inside your head
And all will be brand new

Come along, come on in
Here's something that you'll know
Who wonders why as he rushes in?
To entertain your goal

The sun will shine on you again
A bell will ring inside your head
And all will be brand new
All will be brand new

I can tell you what you wanna hear
I've been here once before
You put me through my empty night
Sleepless on your floor

The sun will shine on you again
A bell will ring inside your head
And all will be brand new

All will be brand new
All will be brand new

11. Let There Be Love main

Who kicked a hole in the sky
So the heavens would cry
Over me

Who stole the soul from the sun
In a world come undone
At the seems

Let there be love, let there be love

I hope the weather is calm
As you sail up your heavenly stream
As you spend the clear in the sky
Are the words that we sing in our dreams?

Let there be love, let there be love
Let there be love, let there be love

Come on baby blue
Shake up your tired eyes
The world is waiting for you
May all your dreaming fill the empty skies

But if it makes you happy
Keep on clapping
Just remember I'll be by your side
And if you only go, it's gonna pass you by

Who kicked a hole in the sky
So the heavens would cry
Over me

Who stole the soul from the sun
In a world come undone
At the seems

Let there be love, let there be love
Let there be love, let there be love
Let there be love, let there be love
Let there be love, let there be love
Let there be love
