Funny Man 03:03
You're a funny man You twist around and turn What a laugh you are You see it's sunny man Get in before you burn You shouldn't go that far Your right will shake my hand And with your left you pull a gun You try to take a stand You try to light your matches in the sun What's that, funny man? You say you're in for bliss You don't mind being poor You feel the consequence You don't know what it is You don't know what it's for You like to have the answers And you feel the need to show But if I don't ask a question Then maybe I don't want to know You're a funny man You're a funny man

Kingmaker 02:53
I never knew you as a heartbreaker Always talking like a kingmaker I saw you trippin' like a blind man running I thought I'd find my way out without making a sound Took an apple from the apple tree I looked at Adam, and he looked at me I sold it to him as I lit one, smiling And I could find my way out, without making a sound I slipped a million to the Tambourine Man He moved to Cuba, bought an icecream van Upset my mother, still she made my dinner And I could find my way out without making a sound Never knew you as a heartbreaker Always talking like a kingmaker I saw you trippin' like a blind man running I thought I'd find my way out without making a sound I'm a kingmaker - a heartbreaker I'm a kingmaker - a heartbreaker

Stop It 02:57
The sun was out, but I was hiding in a corner I saw the shine, but I wouldn't let it get to me Oh, the summer knows I never cared much for her But all day, she's in my face, and she won't let me be So I went out, to make another cup of coffee I know that I'm not a moneymaking factory Oh, it goes to show, the food and drinks are plenty But today, I know there ain't nothing left for me As the morning calls I worry where my shadow falls And now my head's inside A war I thought I left behind It's probably best to stop it When people talk, I know their minds ain't speaking They mean it well, but I can tell that they are on to me Over all the roads I won't follow the beacon A sorry state, but I won't pray for your empathy As the morning calls I worry where my shadow falls And now my head's inside A war I thought I left behind It's probably best to stop it

You gotta walk before the green light starts flashing And run before your old age starts bashing you Down to the ground Where you'll be making no more sound You got your worries You got your style You got your hopes and sorrows So make the most of your time Put them all together Write yourself a song Don't wait until tomorrow Else you will be dead and gone You gotta walk before the green light starts flashing And run before your old age starts bashing you Down to the ground Where you'll be making no more sound Outside it's gruelling People in doubt So why don't you come in and listen The fever is taking the crowd Here you stand at the crossroads Taking one out of five You can stay if you want to Living the end of your life You gotta walk before the green light starts flashing And run before your old age starts bashing you Down to the ground Where you'll be making no more sound There's a road ahead and a way to follow One look behind you and hey, there you go Down to the ground Where you'll be making no more sound

Pass on nearly everything Don't care what the wind blows in Desperate man who wants to know Which turn to take, which way to go, so Sunlight doesn't stop the train Clouds have crossed into the rainbow My head is hanging by a string Doesn't that change anything for you? Desperate man Know that only you can make him talk again Desperate man Know that only you can make him walk again Changing rules within the game Anything to make the shame go Desperate man he's out of tune Nights of howling to the moon Sunlight doesn't stop the train Clouds have crossed into the rainbow My head is hanging by a string Doesn't that change anything for you? Desperate man Know that only you can make him talk again Desperate man Know that only you can make him walk again

Share the love from the heart with your brothers Let it out, let it in Give your heart, give your soul to the others So no man can ever No man can ever hate Share the love from the heart with your brothers Let it out, let it in Give your heart, give your soul to the others So no man can ever No man can ever hate Share the love from the heart, all my sisters Let it out, let it in Give your heart, give your soul to the others So no man can ever No man can ever hate Share the love from the heart with your brothers Share the love from the heart with your brothers

Is It Wrong 02:58
Is it wrong to feel bad about life? Is it wrong to feel sad for a while? Are the days in your wake Nothing more than a waste of your time? Is it wrong to feel bad about life? Is it wrong to feel sad for a while? Are the days in your wake Nothing more than a fake of your smile? Is it wrong to feel bad about life? Is it wrong to feel sad for a while? Are the days in your wake Nothing more than a waste of your time?

I would love to just call her But she wouldn't be talking to me I want to be silent together And I won't hang up 'till she's asleep I would love to but I can't, I can't 'cause I'm still on the phone with you Let's burn all the roses now Comfort ourselves with the heat of the fire And when we run out, lose what we admire Life without roses, a permanent frown We are watching the sunrise I'm drawing our names in the sand And just as I want to start talking She quietly squeezes my hand I don't want to go, because when I wake up I'm still lying next to you Let's burn all the roses now Comfort ourselves with the heat of the fire And when we run out, lose what we admire Life without roses, a permanent frown
