[VERSE 1:]
Young men’s hope are dashed to Hell, it’s hard to earn a dime
They’re kicking their heels, revving their wheels, searching for better times
Me, I’m kicking into my prime
‘Cause I was born at the right time

[VERSE 2:]
Old men’s thoughts are in the past, their future holds no store
Their lives are left in tatters, fighting someone else’s war
I wasn’t party to that crime
‘Cause I was born at the right time

[CHORUS:]
Now I’m living on the coastline
I got up from the breadline
Now I’m drinking the good wine
Go fishing in the summertime
Sleep all day if I have a mind
‘Cause I was born at the right time
Yes, I was born at the right time

[VERSE 3:]
I want no part of being young, don’t want the wisdom of a sage
While there are songs still to be sung, new words to grace the page
A better age I’ll never find
‘Cause I was born at the right time

[CHORUS:]
And now I’m living on the coastline
I got up from the breadline
Now I’m drinking the good wine
Go fishing in the summertime
Sleep all day if I have a mind
‘Cause I was born at the right time

[BRIDGE:]
And so while wishing that we’ll all see better days
My secret feeling is, I’m happy in my ways
An inner smile comes on me, thinking of the past
But I won’t sigh for days gone by
Now is where I’m at___

[CHORUS:]
And now I’m living on the coastline
I got up from the breadline
Now I’m drinking the good wine
Go fishing in the summertime
Sleep all day if I have a mind
‘Cause I was born at the right time

[CHORUS:]
And now I’m sleeping on the coastline
I got up from the breadline
Now I’m drinking the good wine
Go fishing in the summertime
Sleep all day if I have a mind
‘Cause I was born at the right time
I was born at the right time
I was born at the right time
And I was born at the right time

[VERSE 1:]
I’m all choked up inside
Knowing that you and me have tried
Tried to preserve something that died
All of the truth has turned to lies

[VERSE 2:]
We still could carry on
Making the same mistakes again
Feeling familiar tears and pain
It’s no use, I can’t stand the strain

[CHORUS:]
(Oh no, no)
This has got to end
(Oh no, no)
I’m unable to bend
(Oh no, no)

[VERSE 3:]
I think it’s time to say
Ohh, that maybe we’ve had our day
There’s no need to try and to go on
We would be better off alone

[CHORUS:]

This has got to end
(Oh no, no)
I’m unable to bend
(Oh no, no)
This has got to end___
End___

[BRIDGE:]
We’d still go on ‘til we were old
‘Til we’re too tired to fight or scold
Every chapter, every line
Same old story, same old lies

[VERSE 1:]
Wake up little sister
Tell me what you’ve got
I can see you’re dreaming quite a lot
And if the sun is shining, we can make it to the top
Wake up little sister and tell me what is and what is not

[VERSE 2:]
Wake up little dreamer
You’ve been dreaming too long
I can feel your heartbeat like a song
With you beside me, I can feel both gentle and strong
Wake up little dreamer and tell me what’s right and what is wrong

[VERSE 3:]
Wake up little sister
Help me through the night
We got to make it, got to make it alright
And in the morning when we have to say goodnight
We’ll say hello, I know, and walk off into the light

But the judge is a grudge man (the judge is a grudge man___)
And that’s a fact (and that’s a fact)
The judge is a grudge man (the judge is a grudge man___)
And that’s a fact
You shouldn’t let yourself get caught in the act

[Verse 2]
Sorry for the damage I’ve done, try to pay it back
The only crime I ever committed was, being caught in the act
So the next time that you feel good, don’t forget the fact
There’s a man in blue and he wants you to-a, be caught in the act

And the judge is a grudge man (the judge is a grudge man___)
And that’s a fact (and that’s a fact)
Well, the judge is a grudge man (the judge is a grudge man___)
And that’s a fact
Hope that you never get caught in the act

[VERSE 1:]
When I was young and in my prime
Looking for to have a good time
I met a young girl with a cute little curl
On the borderline

[VERSE 2:]
Thinking that I knew it all
I took her to my favourite wall
Where I’d written her name next to mine
In letters ten feet tall
She shook her head, that was all

[CHORUS:]
She said, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it like this
She said, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it like this
She said, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it like this
Do it like this
Do it like this

[VERSE 3:]
One thing lead to the next
I mean, what else could you expect
Married in the spring, baby in the fall
Each day different than next

[VERSE 4:]
Well, the old folks said, “I told you so”
I mean, you gotta watch out how you go
Never thought that I’d be a teenage bride
But then again, what do they know
You gotta go with the flow

[CHORUS:]
She said, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it like this
She said, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it like this
She said, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it like this
Do it like this
Do it like this

[VERSE 5:]
Now, mama’s got a brand new bag
Man is it driving me mad
Clean out the kitchen
Put out trash for the ragman

[VERSE 6:]
Way back when, it was fine
Now it’s nag, nag, nag all the time
Bring in the dog, put out the cat
Leave that bottle of wine
And she says, “Turn off the light”

She said, she said, she said

[CHORUS:]
She said, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it like this
She said, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it like this

[Verse 1]
Lenin lies so stately, Karl’s a forgotten man
Joseph played his cards wrong, ‘cause he couldn’t understand

[Verse 2]
History is bunkum, I heard, some American said
If you can’t deal with the living, you might as well be with the dead

Mother Russia, your sons have left you crying in the rain
Your sadness tears my heart out, but it isn’t easy to explain____

[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
The rat race is coming to get you, his bony hands reach long
You might as well forget you ever played a different song

[Verse 4]
No Tolstoy no Tchaikovsky gonna get you out of this
Just close your eyes and turn your cheek, get ready for the Judas kiss

Mother Russia, your sons have left you crying in the rain
Your sadness tears my heart out, but it isn’t easy to explain
I walk your fields in wonder, as I softly call your name
Mamma, Mamma, Mamma, isn’t it a shame
Isn’t it a shame
Isn’t it a shame (Mother Russia - whoa-oh)
Isn’t it a shame (Mother Russia - whoa-oh, whoa-oh)

[Verse 5]
In war your sons were taken, in peace they built a wall
Their future’s now forsaken, who’ll be there to break your fall?

(## repeat, adlib and fade to end ##)
Mother Russia, your sons have left you crying in the rain
Your sadness tears my heart out, do you think it’s easy to explain

Isn’t it a shame (Mother Russia)

Though the trinkets of glory have fallen my way
I haven’t got what I had yesterday
I have forgotten what I had to say
It’s one for the man down there__
One for the man down there

[VERSE 2:]
Although it’s not new, it’s been said before
While I’m just sitting, I’ll say it once more
As soon as you sign it, it becomes law

And as I try to look life in the face
Forced to partake in this whole human race
You look for your money, it’s gone, left no trace

The man down there says he’ll take good care of you
By this time next week you’ll hold the sun___
He will remove___ all the pain and misery
One day you’ll look, see you’re gone

Down, down, I’m feeling down___
But for now I’ll stick around
Just to see if it was really me
Or if I’m right in thinking you’re wrong[C-C-C]

You took me in on a pleasure trip___
But the waves got high and sunk the ship
And the captain was mad and so was his crew
And they all looked just the same__ as you[C-C-C]

Earth to the moon and back through the sky__
But the wings that I wore didn’t fit me too well
I only wanted to fly, but I fell[C-C-C]

Sometimes I feel like a broken doll
A Christmas toy lying on the shelf
Al Capone’s cast off moll
A broken doll lying by itself

[Verse 2]
Sometimes I feel like a second-hand Rosie
I guess I know it right from the start
Searching ‘round for tea and sympathy
A broken doll with a broken heart

Don’t say it (no), don’t say it , don’t mention anything
Don’t say it (no), don’t say it, intention is a sin
Let me look for one last time at what once was
This broken doll might have a broken heart, but it’s yours___

[Verse 3]
Sometimes I feel like a broken doll
In need of some repair it seems
In the night I hear you call to me
A broken doll still can have its dreams

Don’t say it (no), don’t say it , don’t mention anything
Don’t say it (no), don’t say it, intention is a sin
Let me look for one last time at what once was
This broken doll might have a broken heart, but it’s yours___

[Verse 1]
Two by two the lovers wandered off into the night
Leaving me alone with someone that I only knew by sight
So we sat and watched each other through the fading firelight
Each one waiting for the silence to be broken

But the things I should have said
That were whispering in my head
Would not be spoken___

[Verse 2]
The black gowned master glared at me with malice in his eye
The spittle from his twisted lips ran down to his bowtie
I was dumb before his accusations, I did not deny
When he’d done with me, I stood outside there, shattered

And the things I should have said
That came rushing to my head
No longer matter_____

[Instrumental]
D C (8x)

[Verse 3]
Teachers from whose hallowed mouths, great pearls of wisdom fall
To those who scrawl obscenities upon the alley walls
The joke is on the bloke who never spoke a word at all
But whose dreams lay unrevealed, ‘til they were rotten

And the things I should have said
That I was keeping in my head
Have been forgotten__

(## repeat and fade ##)
All the things I should have said
