The Charlatans "Us and Us Only" 10/19/99

Forever

Forever you're my foundation
I know I can keep
Told I was good for nothing
Branded a cheat
Now I know why you listen
I can help you anytime
Love is all there is
I wonder what you people do with your lives
Hey

Oh! I wonder what you people do with your lives
Oh! I wonder what you people do with your lives
Oh! I wonder what you people do with your lives
Once more this will be forever

I can't withold secrets
I know I'm going where the sun always shines
I know, my son, we've made it
It can't escape my mind
I know my star, I know my star
Is the brightest star, the brightest star
Forever be in my arms
Forever be in my arms

This could be a myth in the making
Under a spell
Down to ambition
I guess you could even call it a miracle

I see my true love coming
My little bundle of joy
I can help you realise
It's us and us only

I know I'm as good as my neighbour
A starter for ten
I can't promise you I'll always need you
I promise I'll always be there
Oh! I wonder what you people do with our lives
Oh! I wonder what you people do with our lives
Hey, oh, I wonder what these people do with their lives

When you find it you'll feel it
I'll give you all my love
Hold it, don't leave it, misuse it
As long as you believe enough
My mind is multiplying
I have so much to give
I wouldn't underestimate you for the way you want to live
Forever, Forever, Forever
Forever, Forever, Forever
Forever, Forever, Forever
Forever

Good Witch, Bad Witch
 
I'm goin' where the good wind blows   4xs
Goin' where the good wind blows blows blows blows


I'm on the bad bad side of the road
I'm on the bad bad side of the road
You know you're goin' where the good wind blows
I'm on the bad bad side of the road

Impossible

Impossible raw women, I you know you're all too hard to please

I can help you, if you only ask me kindly
Don't make me get down on my knees
God bless these hungry women, impossible to ever keep
Your breath has never tasted so sweet

I don't need you to need me to need my freedom
My freedom is a vision you seek
And the place you disappear to, is the place I wish to be
I beg you, instill you
Don't treat it like some kind of joke
This song is, kind lady , my only hope
You can't kill an idea just 'cause it's raining
Keep it in the family, keep it in the kids
(You know) they're all handing out free tickets
This big old boat is a startin to sink
This whole world is getting hungry
And it ain't memories you need from me
And if memories are all you need from me
You're a hard act to please


[I miss you and it's lonely
I admit I can hardly sleep
Y'know he looks like a plastic surgeon
Just look at him he's a piece
The whole world is like a postcard
Easily lost and easy to reach
And if this is where you're going I will surely leave


Ex-impossible raw woman
You know you're oh so hard to please
Your new friend he seems to love you
I hope he cries himself to sleep] -it appears they dropped this section of the lyrics, consistently
She will fool you
Destroy you
Disappear
Without so much as smoke
This song is, cool lady, my only hope

 
My Beautiful Friend
 
My beautiful friend

I will pay attention
Don’t say this is the end
I find it hard to describe you
To point and discover you
Could I tell you once again
O my beautiful friend


Let me sleep and I will feed you when you’re hungry
4 ever live inside of me
Thru the holes in the pockets of my clothes
High as, as high as an angel
I will stand there beside you
Love is all we need
My beautiful friend
My beautiful friend


My beautiful friendI swear I adore you
Ain’t no woman deep enough
I don’t know how we made it this far dear
Without losing at least an ear
I could leave us, I could leave us a painting
Our lives are-a-changing
I couldn’t and I wouldn’t want to change you
Don’t you know it I can save you
I will do all of this on my very own
My beautiful friend
My beautiful friend


(Can I ask you) do you ever get this feeling
That we've got to carry on
Do you ever get this feeling
When it’s hard to carry on
Do you ever get this feeling
That we've got to carry on

 Senses (Angel on My Shoulder)

You're my sweet black angel
Laughing on my shoulder
Always taking special care of me
You live with me in the night and in the day
And it's your world
You and me
You're an angel
You see only what you wish to see
Where's my sweet black angel
Laughing on my shoulder
Your world is my saviour
It's all that I live for
And it's your world
You live with me night and day
And it's eating my whole heart away

Look at my skin shine
Look at my skin glow
Look at my skin laugh
Look at my skin cry


I'm tired of doing things for others, who give nothing in return
Take a vow with my sweet angel
You're everything I do deserve
When you smile
Just a little bit
You're all I need
You and my philosophy
I am a simple messenger
I can help you if you please
I want you
To be
All I need to be
Yes!!

The Blind Stagger


Lord

It's been a long time
And people don't you find
Always leave their troubles at your door
I live on my own
I don't need a bitter soul beatin' on about my country anymore
Don't you think your daddy needs you home right away
Your Daddy needs you home right away 
Oh, it's about time, could you for once be strong
You know I bleed a little too
You're invisible, is there something I can give to you
I see my light come shining
There is good on the horizon
Daylight sneaking through my window
I will give you a rainbow and a bucket full of gold
You been bitten by eleven hungry kittens
Who will go the whole distance while the blind stagger


Oh, let the light shine, could you for once be strong
You know I bleed a little to
You're invisible, is there something I can give to you
I see my light come shining
There is good on the horizon
Daylight, sneaking through my window
I will give you a rainbow and a bucket full of gold
You been bitten by eleven hungry kittens
Who will go the whole distance while the blind stagger



Watching You


Watching you

Learning to have every faith
In all of the things that you do
How much I've lied
Tears have been cried


Loving you
Hoping to finally nail this
All I need is your word
Lazy bones
Where are all our friends
Where are all our friends
Going down again


Watching you
Finally finding the feeling I know there's
Too much to do
Hiccups and pride
Tears I cried
A feelin' all of it's own


Look at all our friends
Goin' down again
Goin' down again


I can hardly get no feelin' at all
Like a baby first starting to crawl
When I'm with you
I only want to see you smile
All I need is a satisfied mind
It's a long road


Don't cry, put your head on my shoulder
Take a long time to re-cover
It took a long time and I'm missing you
It took a long tim
But now I found you
It took a long time
But I found ya
I found you



I Don't Care Where You Live


Here I stand at the foot of the window

Oh please, I can help you fill the hole
All my life I depend on opinion
You have solid soul


I don't care where you live
I don't care where you live
For today, I started loving you again
Here I stand at the foot of the window
Oh Lord, I don't care where you live
Tell me why, and please be kind
My only companion, oh yeah


I don't care where you live
I don't care where you live
I will follow you
Wherever you
Wanna go


I will follow you, wherever you
I will follow you, wherever you
I will follow you, wherever you


Wait with me
As our love is for keeping
Oh pease, I can help you fill the hole
My, My your daddy cares
He's just not here today
It goes on


I don't care where you live
I don't care where you live
For today, I started loving you again
