CIGARETTES & ALCOHOL 

Is it my imagination 
Or have I finally found something worth living for? 
I was looking for some action 
But all I found was cigarettes and alcohol  

You could wait for a lifetime 
To spend your days in the sunshine 
You might as well do the white line 
Cos when it comes on top . . .  

You gotta make it happen!  

Is it worth the aggravation 
To find yourself a job when there's nothing worth working for? 
It's a crazy situation 
But all I need are cigarettes and alcohol!  

You could wait for a lifetime 
To spend your days in the sunshine 
You might as well do the white line 
Cos when it comes on top . . .  

You gotta make it happen!  
  

I AM THE WALRUS (Live at the Glasgow Cathouse) 
Lyrics & Music by Paul McCartney/John Lennon 

I am he as 
You are he as 
You are me and 
We are all together 

See how they run 
Like pigs from a gun 
See how they fly 
I'm crying 

Sitting on a cornflake 
I'm waiting for the van to come 

Corporation t-shirts stupid bloody tuesday 
Man you been a naughty boy 
You let you face go long 

I am the egg man 
We are the egg men 
I am the walrus 

City policeman sitting 
Pretty little policeman in a row 
See how they fly like lucy in the sky 
See how they run 
I'm crying 
I'm crying 
I'm crying 
I'm crying 

Yellow matter custard 
Dripping from a dead dogs eye 
crabalocker fishwife pornographic priestess 
Man you been a naughty girl 
You let your knickers down 

I am the egg man 
We are the egg men 
I am the walrus 

Sitting in an english garden 
Waiting for the sun 
But the sun dont come you get a tan from 
Standing in the english rain 
I am the eggman they are the eggman 
I am the walrus 

Expert texpert choking smokers don't you think 
The joker laughs at you? 
See how they smile like pigs in a sty 
See how they snied 
I'm crying 
Semolina pilchard climbing up the eiffel tower 
Elemntry penguin singing hare krishna 
Man you should have seen them kicking 
Edgar Allen Poe 
I am the eggman 
We are the eggmen 
I am the walrus 
  

LISTEN UP 

Listen up 
What's the time said today 
I'm gonna speak my mind 
Take me up 
To the top of the world 
I wanna see my crime 

Day by day 
There's a man in a suit 
Who's gonna make you pay 
For the thoughts 
That you think and the words 
They won't let you say 

One fine day 
Gonna leave you all behind 
It wouldn't be so bad 
If I had more time 

Sailing down a river alone 
I've been trying to find 
My way back home 
But I don't believe in magic 
Life is automatic But I don't mind being on my own 
No, I don't mind being on my own 

(Repeat from top)  

Sailing down a river alone 
I've been trying to find  
My way back home 
But I don't believe in magic 
Life is automatic 
But I don't mind being on my own 
I said that I don't mind 
Being on my own  
No, I don't mind being on my own 
I said I don't mind being on my own 
  

FADE AWAY 

When I was young  
I thought I had my own key 
I knew exactly what I wanted to be 
Now I'm sure 
You've boarded up every door  

Lived in a bubble 
Days were never ending 
Was not concerned 
About what life was sending 
Fantasy was real 
Now I know much 
About the way I feel  

I'll paint you the picture 
'Cause I don't think you live round here no more 
I've never even seen  
The key to the door 
We only get what we will settle for  

While we're living 
The dreams we have as children  
Fade away 
While we're living 
The dreams we have as children  
Fade away 
While we're living 
The dreams we have as children  
Fade away, away, away 
They fade away, away, away  

Now my life has turned  
Another corner 
I think it's only best  
That I should warn you 
Dream it while you can 
Maybe someday 
I'll make you understand  

I'll paint you the picture 
'Cause I don't think you live round here no more 
I've never even seen  
The key to the door 
We only get what we will settle for  

While we're living 
The dreams we have as children  
Fade away 
While we're living 
The dreams we have as children 
Fade away 
While we're living 
The dreams we have as children  
Fade away 
They fade away, away, away 
Fade away, away, away
