Lyrics for Say album

Utopia
just a whisper amongst the autumn leaves, an embrace in coldness on a walk, you and me. A kiss, boy what a kiss, in the open air, on an October day, you and me without a care. Such a beautiful day, taking in the sunshine, a lover's walk, you're my utopia in this time.














Woman
woman the be all and end all, woman the sun rises and sets, woman the reason for being, woman...you who are all seeing.



Child
child and be all free, be free, growing inside, rest awhile.

CHORUS

good luck to you,
good luck to you,
in this adventure,
in this life,
in this life,
at this precious time.
foetus growing,
all unknown knowing,
growing inside,
rest awhile.

CHORUS

good luck to you,
good luck to you,
in this adventure,
in this life,
in this life,
at this precious time.
look back upon,
my simple song,
good luck to you,
good luck to you,
be free,
be at peace,
be happy,
nephew or niece.

Demons
demons run amok (if unchecked)
they yell out in my head, but...

CHORUS
who will save us?
who will save us?
who will save us from them?
who will be there in the end?
who will save us?
who will save us from them?
demons run amok in my head,
they carrion call up the dea, but...
CHORUS
who will save us?
who will save us?
who will save us from them?
who will be there in the end?
who will save us?
who will save us from them?

demons possess us all (if unchecked),
they speak softly, softly, in my head,
demons run amok (if unchecked),
they torture me in my head.
CHORUS
who will save us?
who will save us?
who will save us from them?
who will be there in the end?
who will save us?
who will save us from them?
demons play here on Earth,
taking life as though it's of no worth,
we needn't allow them in,
as long as joy, peace and love live free,
the demons are kept at bay, and will never be, but..
who will save us?
who will save us?


Maybe
wake up and smell the coffee, rise from your bed, don't sleep in sleepy head.
make your breakfast, pour over the headlines, shower, brush teeth, dress 1st, check the time, check the time.

on the hamster wheel, in the rat race, another drone losing your place, read or crossword puzzle out, don't make a fuss or shout,
for God's sake spare us your moans, for pity's sake, aren't we all drones?
there's a place for us all here in life, there's a way out (somewhere),
I haven't quite figured it out.

commit to the work ethic, rise up through the ranks, tut, admonish banks,
earn an honest crust, holiday twice a year, worry over boom or bust,
check y' life, check our lives, for signs of life,
for joy in this time, for living free; without a care, daydreaming or how it could be?
for living just for today, to how much you get paid,
for sins that we all commit, for putting up with this bullshit,
forlorn and lost on the Circle Line, maybe we all are gulity of wasting time?

Say

say,
say this is truth,
say,
say anything,
say,
say f' all time, say f' all time.

CHORUS
love,
love that feelin',
love,
love that joy,
love,
love that oi yoi yoi!

VOID

Write this down, write this down,

Inspirational clocked,

Paint your mind: colours red and blue,

Paint your mind: yella and true.

Get it down, get it down,

Flotation in vacuum,

Wind, curtain loomed,

Etch your thoughts

In majors and minors,

In resonant discord.

Let the ale be pulled, let the real ale be pulled,

Sink it down, sink it down, sup it, strong.

Let the wine flow, let the red wine flow,

Drop it down, gone, go.

(CHORUS)

I was watching my own space fill,

I was tasting you, watching you fill,

I was touching the void and my heart beat still,

I was watching my void fill.

Blood on the tracks,

Fireworks, whiz bang, snaps,

Erudite, soulful slips, scuppered amidships.

Record it now, record it now,

Blossom notes by accident,

Take a note and indent,

Echo through time, echo through time, echo through time.

Earth

we are expected to act like adults, but who'll pick up the pieces after us?

we have expectations, maybe goals, or are we just on a hiding to nothing? just fools?

we plan out, take up arms, take care, but who'll pick up the tab when we're not there?

CHORUS

our planet revolves and spins, despite anything we do,

the Earth revolves and spins, despite our human presence, despite our sins.

we could be somewhere else, but it's a choice made by someone else,

we could be better but choose not, we could do better, build anew,

we could be many things my friend, to all of these things called life, one must attend.

CHORUS

our planet revolves and spins, despite anything we do,

the Earth revolves and spins, despite our human presence, despite our sins.

our planet is one of many in the great, grand scheme of things,

our Earth is something to be treasured, bountiful life, prodigious, luscious, unmeasured,

we are but specks, micro dots, hear us, if you're out there, call us through the darkness,

we are humans (not machines) see us, in the cold dark emptiness of the Universe,

we can build something better..greatness? war not humans, desist, peace rain on us.
