Big Boot Dance

You're not the reason
I gave it all away

I could be lying
Who can say?

It won't be the first time
Won't be the last

'Cos you're not the reason
You're not the reason

I was dejected
I was a cold arsed soul
Feeling rejected
Beginning to lose control

But you were so loaded
High as the sun
Who did you walk on?
Look what you've done

You're not the reason

I didn't throw it away
Just opened my mouth
When there was nothing to say
An ignorant git
Levi coat
Zip up boots
Looked like a nanny goat

'72. I was just 19
And I saw things
That I had never seen
Bluffing the gig
Jig-a-jig jig
That's what we did
Jig-a-jig jig

And if I had my time again
Well then it`s au revoir my friend

And when I'm dreaming
I dream of you
'Bin such a long time
But when I look at myself
I know that I can
Finally face the truth

You're not the reason
You're not the reason
You're not the reason

The rhythm of the rain
Plays a sad refrain
On my window

It`s a sorry symphony
That was written just for me
I know

There's a cloud above, up in the sky
But it don't possess no silver lining
That's for sure

Low on cigarettes
And my broken TV set
Holds no solace

The meter in the hall
Just reminded me it`s empty
Like my pockets

Well I guess I am
A lucky man
I`ll fall right through the eye of that needle

Shoes are worn out
Arse down to the bone
Spirt's weak
My aspiration`s torn

So I'm just kickin' stones
Yeah kickin' stones

Here in my prison cell
Surrounded by the books
You read

My loneliness is cold
And I can't find the warmth
Instead

I'm just kickin' stones
Yeah kickin' stones

Dreams are worn out
Threadbare left alone
Soul in torment
Inspiration gone

So I'm just kickin' stones
Yeah kickin' stones

Monday morning comes around
Sunday's rain lies on the ground
I'm still waiting for my sixty nine

Tuesday come then Tuesday go
Wednesday I just dont know
Thursday I never have the time

Friday greets me with her smile
Maybe I could stay a while
Play here like a silly child

But Saturday keeps playing on my mind
Playing on my mind
Playing on my mind
Playing on my mind

Something that somebody said
Is runnung round inside my head
But Saturday is playing on my mind
Playing on my mind

Though I wish my life away
There really is no other way
Dreaming of another day
'Cos Saturday is always on my mind

Always on my mind

Always on my mind

Monday come
Tuesday go
Wednesday I just don't know
Come Thursday I never have no time
Give me Friday
'Cos Saturday is always on my mind.

First time I saw you
You took me by the hand
Smiled like a woman
Then you hit me like a man

Now I can't let go
Can't let go
No matter how hard I try I know
You're living within my soul

And a can't let go
Woah Lord I can't let go
You treat me like a prisoner
You hold the key that locks the door
And I can't let go
Can't let go

Talked to the preacher
He gave me wine and bread
He said the cross that you bear`s
Gonna weigh you down
Take the righteous road instead

But I can't let go
Lord I can't let go
There are chains tied deep inside me
Connected to my soul

And I can't let go
Oh Lord I can't let go

Only you can set me free
You're the one that holds the key
And I can't let go
Can't let go

You took the blue from my rainbow
Turned it into gold
Tied me up
Inside these chains now
I can't let go

You beat me like a refugee
Abused the soul that lives in me
But I can't let go
Can't let go
You got the key that locks the door
And I don't think I can take no more

You pick me up
You bring me down
Spin my head round and round
But I can't let go
'Cos I can't say no

NO!!

Bet you talk like an angel
Walk like a saint
Coming on like the innocent
But Lord knows that you ain't

Starchild you're turning me on

When you sing I'm arrested
From the head to the hip
I`ve never felt so connected
Take me on that magic ship

Starchild you're turning me on
Starchild you're turning me on

And I feel so Connected

Starchild you're turning me on

Beneath the stars in the dark sky
Flowers in your hair
Let's start a new revolution
You can take. You can take me there

Starchild you're turning me on
Starchild you're turning me on

And I feel so connected

You you're turning me on!!

When I hear the ringing of a Gretch guitar
I feel Connected

When I hear you singing yeah yeah yeah
I'm connected

Been to Waterloo and watched the sunset Dave
I was arrested

Now I'm connected

I'm connected

I'm connected

I'm connected

I'm connected

I'm connected
