| Be Here Now (1997) |
Back into the hole where I was born
The sun in the sky never raised an eye to me
There's blood on the tracks, and it must be mine
The fool on the hill, and I feel fine
Don't look back cos you know what you might see
Look into the wall of my mind's eye
I think I know, but I don't know why
The questions are the answers you might need
Coming in a mess, going out in style
I ain't good-looking, but I'm someone's child
No-one can give me the air that's mine to breathe
I met my maker, I made him cry
And on my shoulder he asked me why
His people won't fly through the storm,
I said "Listen up man, they don't even know you're born"
All my people right here, right now,
D'You Know What I Mean? Yeah Yeah
All my people right here, right now,
D'You Know What I Mean? Yeah Yeah
All my people right here, right now,
D'You Know What I Mean? Yeah Yeah
Yeah, Yeah
Yeah, Yeah
I don't really care for what you believe
So open up your fist or you won't receive
The thoughts and the words of every man you'll need
Get up off the floor and believe in life
No-one's ever gonna ever ask you twice
Get on the bus and bring it on home to me
I met my maker, I made him cry
And on my shoulder he asked me why
His people won't fly through the storm
I said "Listen up man, they don't even know you're born"
All my people right here, right now,
They Know What I Mean. Yeah Yeah
All my people right here, right now,
They Know What I Mean. Yeah Yeah
All my people right here, right now,
They Know What I Mean. Yeah Yeah
Yeah, Yeah
Yeah, Yeah
Yeah, Yeah
All my people right here, right now
D'You Know What I Mean? Yeah Yeah
All my people right here, right now
D'You Know What I Mean? Yeah Yeah
All my people right here, right now
D'You Know What I Mean? Yeah Yeah
Yeah, Yeah
Yeah, Yeah
Yeah, Yeah
Yeah, Yeah
But no one's saying nothing
Is the sound so very loud
That no one can hear?
I've got something in my shoes
That's keeping me from walking
Down the long and winding road
Back home to you
A Rolling Stone cease to be
And swear she's never sleeping with the enemy
Where angels fly
You won't play
So guess who's gonna take the blame
For my big mouth
And my big name
Who'll put on my shoes while I'm walking
Slowly down the hall of fame?
Into my big mouth
You can fly a plane
Who'll put on my shoes while I'm walking
Slowly down the hall of fame?
I ain't never spoke to god
And I have never been to heaven
I've seen machine gunnings away
Even though the man was given
And as you look into the eye
Of a bloody cold assassin
Only then you'll realize
This is what you call redemption
When all your songs cease to be
That's what you get for sleeping with the enemy
Where angels fly
You won't play
So guess who's gonna take the blame
For my big mouth
And my big name
Who'll put on my shoes while I'm walking
Slowly down the hall of fame?
Into my big mouth
You can fly a plane
Who'll put on my shoes while I'm walking
Slowly down the hall of fame?
Slowly down the hall of fame?
Slowly down the hall of fame?
When all your songs cease to be
That's what you get for sleeping with the enemy
Where angels fly
You won't play
So guess who's gonna take the blame
For my big mouth
And my big name
Who'll put on my shoes while I'm walking
Slowly down the hall of fame?
Into my big mouth
You can fly a plane
Who'll put on my shoes while I'm walking
Slowly down the hall of fame?
Slowly down the hall of fame?
Slowly down the hall of fame?
Slowly down the hall of fame?
Slowly down the hall of fame?
Slowly down the hall of fame?
Slowly down the hall of fame?
Slowly down the hall of fame?
An extraordinary guy can never have an ordinary day,
He might live a long goodbye,
but that is not for me to say,
I dig his friends,
I dig his shoes,
But he is just a child with nothing to lose,
but his mind, his mind.
They are sleeping while they dream,
but then they want to be adored,
They who don't say what they mean,
Will live and die by their own sword.
I dig their friends,
I dig their shoes,
But they are like a child with nothing to lose,
But their minds, yeah their minds.
I'll have my way,
In my own time,
I'll have my say,
My star will shine.
Cos you see me,
I've got my Magic Pie.
Think of me,
yeah that was me
I was that passer by,
I've been and now I've gone.
There are but a thousand days but heading for a thousand years,
Many minds to educate, and people who have disappeared,
To dig my friends,
to dig my shoes,
I am like a child with nothing to lose,
But my mind, yeah my mind,
We'll have our way,
In our own time,
In our own time,
We'll have our say,
Cos my star's gonna shine.
Cos you see me,
I've got my Magic Pie.

Made a meal and threw it up on Sunday,
I've, Got a lot of things to learn,
Said I would and I believe in one day,
Before my heart starts to burn.
So whats the matter with you,
Sing me something new,
Don't you know the cold and wind and rain don't know,
They only seem to come and go, away.
Times are hard when things have got no meaning,
I've found a key upon the floor,
Maybe you and I will not believe in,
The thing we find behind the door.
So whats the matter with you,
Sing me something new,
Don't you know the cold and wind and rain don't know,
They only seem to come and go away.

My heart will never be your home,

They're trying hard to put me in my place,
And that is why I've gotta keep running,
The future is mine and its no disgrace
Cos in the end the past means nothing.
You tell me I'm free then you tie me down,
And from my chains I think its a pity,
What did it cost you to wear my crown,
You dont like me why don't you admit it.
I feel a little down today,
And I ain't got much to say,
But your gonna miss me when I'm not there
You know I dont care,
You know I dont care,
As we beg and steal and borrow,
Life is hit and miss,
And this, I Hope, I Think, I Know,
If I ever hear the names, you call,
And if I stumble catch me when I fall,
Cos baby after all,
You'll never forget my name,
You'll never forget my name.
Your trying hard to put me in my place,
And that is why I've gotta keep running,
The future is mine and its your disgrace,
Cos in the end your laugh means nothing.
To feel a little down today,
But you ain't got much to say,
Whos gonna miss you when your not there,
You know we don't care.

Come and make me my day,
The clouds around your soul,
Don't gather there for nothing,

Or shining for the rest of the world,

About the things caught in my mind,
And as the day was dawning,

I don't wanna be there when you hit the ground,
So dont go away,
Say what you say,
Say that you'll stay,
Forever and a day,
In the time of my life,
Cos I need more time,
Yes I need more time just to make things right
Damn my situation and the games I have to play,
With all the things caught in my mind,

Wash your face in the morning sun,
Flash your pen at the song that I'm singing,
Touchdown base living on the run,
I make no sweat at the hole that you're digging.
Wrap up cold when it's warm outside,
Your shit jokes remind me of Digsy's,
Be my magic carpet ride,
Fly me down to capital city in the sun.
Kicking up a storm,
From the day that I was born,
Sing a song to me,
One from Let It Be,
Open up your eyes get a grip on yourself inside.!

To go through all the things that I want to be,
I don't believe in everything I see,
Y'know I'm blind so why d'you disagree
Take me away, cos I just dont want to stay,
And the lies you make me say are getting deeper every day,

Shout it from the rooftops that you're here
Even if it means nothing
Make us realize all that we're here
Do it in a wise teaching
Wishing on a wave that soon appears
Something about a life teaches
You to build a castle in the sun
Maybe the songs I sing are wrong
Maybe the dreams I dream are gone
Bring it on home and it won't be long
It's getting better, man
And what was that you said to me?
Just say the word and I'll be free
And while the stars are shining bright
It's getting better, man
And crashing in upon a wave
It's coming up beyond the grave
I'll light a fire in the sky
It's getting better, man
Build something
Build a better place and call it home
Even if it means nothing
You'll never ever feel that you're alone
Maybe the songs I sing are wrong
Maybe the dreams I dream are gone
Bring it on home and it won't be long
It's getting better, man
And what was that you said to me?
Just say the word and I'll be free
And while the stars are shining bright
It's getting better, man
And crashing in upon a wave
It's coming up beyond the grave
I'll light a fire in the sky
It's getting better, man
It's getting better, man
And what was that you said to me?
Just say the word and I'll be free
And while the stars are shining bright
It's getting better, man
And crashing in upon a wave
It's coming up beyond the grave
I'll build a fire in the sky
It's getting better, man
It's getting better, man
It's getting better, man
It's getting better, man
It's getting better, man
It's getting better, man
It's getting better, man
It's getting better, man
It's getting better, man
