Hey, Mumma what you say?
Come up and step this way.
You make me feel so blue, blue, blue, blue.
Why don't you take a stand?
Come up and be a man.
And let the people choose, choose, choose, choose.
We love it, they know it, we take it, they blow it.
We're all on this ride ride ride ride.
So come bring it on, wade through this old swamp,
I tell ya things are gonna be alright.
We're live and we're loud.
And we live for the crowd.
We wear our jeans loose and we squeeze out the fun like grape juice.
Hey, brother come here, lad.
You're the native's nomad.
We're going to spin you around round round round.
Let me play your guitar,
Just like Ziggy Star,
In for a penny then you're in for a pound.
We love it, they know it, we take it, they blow it.
We're all on this ride ride ride ride.
So come bring it on, wade through this old swamp,
I tell ya things are gonna be alright.
We're live and we're loud.
And we live for the crowd.
We wear our jeans loose and we squeeze out the fun like grape juice.
What does it mean to you to be high?
Come on and follow me and we'll try.

California Quickly

I'm so bored of here, my skin's so dry and the leaves have all got outta here.
And I'm left all alone.
I can't score here, my feet are tired and the trees have cried their final tear.
Now I'm just a bag of bones. And I.
Get me to California quickly.
Take me through whatever city,
That helps me find my way home.
Get me to California quickly,
My words are true believe me.
That this time is on a loan.
I don't belong here, my eyes can't see and the noise it fills my leading ears,
So I don't hear a note.
It's been so long here, my arms can't reach and the earth has shaken up my fear,
And broken down the door. And I.
Get me to California quickly.
Take me through whatever city,
That helps me find my way home.
Get me to California quickly,
My words are true believe me.
That this time is on a loan.

The Informer

The voices consume me, I can't win.
the space falls beneath me, I'm left in a spin.
Trying to, trying to let it go.
You are, the informer.
You are, the informer.
Lord, why am I so weak? Please let me know.
The branch breaks where I sit, I fall below.
Trying to, trying to let it be.
You are, the informer.
You are, the informer.
You are, the informer.
You are, the informer.

This Song's For You

I could watch you forever.
I love all your jokes they're so clever.
I love how you work a room.
So this song's for you.
I could dance with you for hours.
I will always bring you flowers.
Though there's not a lot that I can do.
I wrote this song for you.
I tried to put into words, just how I feel.
So I hope that you know how I feel.
I could hold you and never let go.
Together disgracefully we could both grow old.
To show you love that I can prove.
I wrote this song for you.
I tried to put into words, just how I feel.
So I hope that you know how I feel.
When you see me so happy, it's all because you're near.
When you need me just call me and I'll sing in your ear.
That this song's for you.
This song's for you.
This song's for you.

Ooh La La

I've always been a dreamer,
You say I've missed the boat.
But what if I prefer to jump in and float?
All the feelings of my past,
Coming back in droves.
All the places we played as kids,
Where'd the time go?
You smell like my favourite colour.
And you taste like forever.
You look like the first song I heard.
You're the kindest weather.
Say, Ooh La La.
Ooh, la la.
Jumped off the bridge,
Built the wings as I fell.
Waiting for the wind,
To fill my sails.
You smell like my favourite colour.
And you taste like forever.
You look like the first song I heard.
You're the kindest weather.
Say, Ooh La La.
Ooh, la la.
