No need for lyrics.
They are clear.
How many jabs?
What union?
And you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack
And you may find yourself in another part of the world
And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile
And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife
And you may ask yourself, "Well... how did I get here?"
[Chorus]
Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground
[Verse 2]
And you may ask yourself, "How do I work this?"
And you may ask yourself, "Where is that large automobile?"
And you may tell yourself, "This is not my beautiful house"
And you may tell yourself, "This is not my beautiful wife"
[Chorus]
Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground
[Refrain]
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
[Verse 3]
Water dissolving and water removing
There is water at the bottom of the ocean
Under the water, carry the water
Remove the water at the bottom of the ocean
Water dissolving and water removing
[Chorus]
Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again, into the silent water
Under the rocks and stones, there is water underground
Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground
[Verse 4]
You may ask yourself, "What is that beautiful house?"
You may ask yourself, "Where does that highway go to?"
And you may ask yourself, "Am I right? Am I wrong?"
And you may say to yourself, "My God! What have I done?"
[Chorus]
Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again, into the silent water
Under the rocks and stones, there is water underground
Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground
[Outro]
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was and look where my hand was
Time isn't holding up, time isn't after us
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Letting the days go by, same as it ever was
Here a twister comes, here comes the twister
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was (Letting the days go by)
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was (Letting the days go by)
Once in a lifetime, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground

Nothing left in the tank old chap?
Fancy some real daft shit.
How daft is this youth?
Madness, madness
They call it madness
Madness, madness
They call it madness
It is plain to see
That is what they mean to me
Madness, madness
I call it gladness
Madness, madness
They call it madness
Madness, madness
They call it madness
I'm about to explain
That someone is losing his brain
Madness, madness
They call it gladness
Propaganda ministers
Propaganda ministers
I've got a heavy due
I'm gonna walk all over you
'Cause
Madness, madness
I call it gladness
Well if this is madness
Man I know I'm filled with gladness
It's gonna be rougher
It's gonna be tougher
And I won't be the one who's gonna suffer
Oh no, I won't be the one who's gonna suffer
You are gonna be the one who's gonna suffer
Madness, madness
They call it madness
Madness, madness
They call it madness
It is plain to see
That is what they mean to me
Madness, madness
I call it gladness
Madness, madness
They call it madness
Madness, madness
They call it madness
I'm about to explain
That someone is losing his brain
Madness, madness
They call it gladness
Propaganda ministers
Propaganda ministers
I've got a heavy due
I'm gonna walk all over you
'Cause
Madness, madness
I call it gladness
Well if this is madness
Man I know I'm filled with gladness
It's gonna be rougher
It's gonna be tougher
And I won't be the one who's gonna suffer
Oh no, I won't be the one who's gonna suffer
You are gonna be the one who's gonna suffer

Talking heads, wow, I loved their music.
Here's a thing you probably didn't know about me.
From the 'Stones to Led Zep and Pink floyd to the Talking Heads and everything in between and since, I realised, I generaly didn't pay attention to the lyrics. I had no idea what the fuck they were singing about, whoever they were. (this is the first time I've told anyone this so, you know, be gentle) I listened to the music. The bass, the guitars, the drums, the interplay of the instruments. Bobby Keys sax, the music.
That's why I never had time for Dylan or Neil young or any of those fucking hippy folk 'music' gypos.
“If we stop testing right now we’d have very few cases, if any.” Donald J Trump.
Powers that be.
You better run.
They like a tough game, no rules
Some you win, some you lose
Competition, good for you
To die to be free
They're the powers that be
They like a bomb proof Cadillac
Air conditioned, gold taps
Back seat gun rack
Platinum hub caps
They pick horses for courses
They're the market forces
(Nice car, Jack!)
They like order, make-up
Lime light, power
Game shows, rodeos
Star Wars, TV
They're the powers that be
If you see them come
[Chorus: Roger Waters]
You better run, run
You better run on home
You better run, run
You better run on home
[Bridge: Paul Carrack]
Sisters of mercy better join with your brothers (brothers)
Put a stop to the soap opera right now (yeah)
They say the toothless get ruthless
You better run on home
[Chorus: Roger Waters]
You better run, run
You better run on home
[Break]
(The powers that be, the powers that be, the powers that be...)
[Verse 2: Roger Waters]
They like treats, tricks
Carrots and sticks
(The powers that be...)
They like fear and loathing
(The powers that be...)
They like sheep's clothing
(The powers that be...)
And blacked-out vans
Blacked-out vans
Contingency plans
They like death or glory (death or glory)
They love a good story
[Bridge: Paul Carrack]
They love a good story
Sisters of mercy better join with your brothers (sisters of mercy)
Put a stop to the soap opera state
They say the toothless get ruthless
Run home before its too late
[Chorus: Paul Carrack & Roger Waters]
You better run, run
You better run on home
You better run, run
You better run on home
You better run, run
You better run on home
You better run, run
You better run on home
You better run, run
You better run on home
You better run, run
You better run on home
You better run
[Spoken Outro: Jim & Billy]
[Billy:] Goodnight, Jim
[Jim:] Goodnight, Billy

Lighten up, just because it's the end of liberty.
Bad memories of these fuckers.
Got recruited to lug their gear for them for a gig in Doncaster in the seventies.
Payment was an album cover, the red one, and an ejection from the bus station club.
And they were shit.

Might pick out a few tunes a bit later.
But first off, I have a box of Chang to dispose of.

Thanks dad.
To everything (turn, turn, turn)
There is a season (turn, turn, turn)
And a time to every purpose, under heaven
A time to be born, a time to die
A time to plant, a time to reap
A time to kill, a time to heal
A time to laugh, a time to weep
To everything (turn, turn, turn)
There is a season (turn, turn, turn)
And a time to every purpose, under heaven
A time to build up, a time to break down
A time to dance, a time to mourn
A time to cast away stones, a time to gather stones together
To everything (turn, turn, turn)
There is a season (turn, turn, turn)
And a time to every purpose, under heaven
A time of love, a time of hate
A time of war, a time of peace
A time you may…
