V1. Travel in Cruise control
Authority on the mind
Call on the CCHR
Seeking to undermine
V2. Follow the Dianetics
Something to help ease the pain
Sipping a Coca-Cola
It's syrup for the brain
It's syrup for the brain
Ch. Use propaganda, destroy reputation
Cancel the order, for public relation
Old father Hubb wages stubborn pursuit
Cut down to size, shrink respectable suit
V3. Forces of madness have won
Bailey expressed in a letter
Lapsing into a coma
Bailey never got better
Bailey never got better
Ch. Use propaganda, destroy reputation
Cancel the order, for public relation
Old father Hubb wages stubborn pursuit
Cut down to size, shrink respectable suits
M8. Miscavige must have misgivings
Inviting Ronson today
35 miles south of city
Musical chairs to play
Musical chairs to play
V4. Straight from the mouth of a hopper
The velvet as blue as can be
As broad as a moor & as wily
When will I ever be free
When will I ever be free
Ch. Use propaganda, destroy reputation
Cancel the order, for public relation
Old father Hubb wages stubborn pursuit
Cut down to size, shrink respectable suits

You come to me every Friday expecting miracles
I don't recall disappointment of watching your hair fall
With regard to our arrangement there's nothing that I'd hide
I've been loving you this way since 1965, Since 1965
We'd meet Jackie & Norm
Take the Palais by storm
Both of them sworn to keep secrets
Twist until dawn with Jackie & Norm
Georgie Fame singing live yeah yeah
1965, 1965
It's not the shoes that make the man but the cowboy boots you wear
I'd never steal from E.L.O, but I would wash their hair
From Vienna to the pie stand , Alex always on my mind
There's Kennedy & Seberg still cutting it so fine, still cutting it so fine
We'd meet Jackie & Norm
Take the Palais by storm
Both of them sworn to keep secrets
Twist until dawn with Jackie & Norm
Georgie Fame singing live yeah yeah
1965, 1965
Forty years & I'm still winning, both women keep their smile
I cut it now just as its always been
Since 1965, 1965
I shook his hand & told that man that I'd take care of her
I shook his hand & told that man that I'd take care of her

Clean Break
02:51
|
|||
Turn up the heat & roll up up your sleeves.
I'm running wild in the Costa breeze.
I’m Living the dream
Breakfast at Maraboos served with a smile.
Crook for cook bakes cakes with a file.
I’m Living the dream
I'll take a sabbatical with all that I've earned.
The move wasn't practical but lessons were learned.
I'm catching the sun cause my fingers got burned.
So I'm living the dream, I'll make a clean break of it.
Under the palms trees I'm starting to
wheeze
Ride in the surf right up to my knees
I'm living the dream
I'm making the most of it
I'll take a sabbatical with all that I've earned.
The move wasn't practical but lessons were learned.
I'm catching the sun cause my fingers got burned.
So I'm living the dream, I'll make a clean break of it.
I'm living the dream

Benny Rise And Shine

After the light fades, walk into the wings
Empty the bottle & the fat lady sings
The front row is restless these tickets were gold
Telling his story & selling his soul
Curse at the mirror you're no friend of mine
This is a story it's a sorry decline
Take a bow
Benny Rise & Shine
Tear down the billboards, box office closed
No one remembers, nobody knows
This best friend of mine lays upon the floor
When did they stop asking for more
Curse at the mirror you're no friend of mine
This is a story its a sorry decline
Take a bow
Benny Rise & Shine
Take a bow
Take a bow
Take a bow

I was tempted by the camouflage & the fox holes.
Searching for the thrill I lost in Tescos.
So let the games begin.
The place where I fit in.
At the weekend.
I was tempted by the camouflage & the fox holes.
Searching for myself inside a deep hole.
So let the games begin
The place where I fit in
I'm Mr Bob De Niro & all of Kelly's Heroes, at the weekend.
Count my Dirty Dozen, just to get me buzzing at the weekend
At the weekend
I was tempted by the camouflage & those fox holes
Shooting from the hip just off the B roads
So let the games begin
The place where I fit in
You'll never take me alive at the weekend
Cause I know how to survive at the weekend

Home on the grange he covers the ground
Steed engaged, she won't make a sound
Snakes in the grass he’ll slide until dawn
The legend of Josi and Juke has been born
Miniatures rattle inside of his glove
It's soup for the soul that lets him show you the love
Scatter the fox he’ll ride until dawn
The legend of Josi and Juke has been born
This is the east so show me your teeth
As wild as the west and as mean
At Leyton Lagoon he'll stow in the flume
The chlorine can't keep them all clean
The chlorine can't keep them all clean
Riding alone like Cushman before
He packs enough heat to burn holes in your door
Asunder the rats he’ll pipe until dawn
The legend of Josi and Juke has been born
This is the east so show me your teeth
As wild as the west and as mean
At Leyton Lagoon he'll stow in the flume
The chlorine can't keep them all clean
The chlorine can't keep them all clean
I was born a cowboy, I'd never ride a horse
It's all about the boots and hat and what you ride of course
I'll die a cowboy, but cowboys never cry
I was born a cowboy, cowboys never lie
I was born a cowboy, cowboys never lie

Postcards From The Boys
03:05

From Sunny Heights to Sellers place
Retreat to Rishikesh
The magic Christian paid for this
I bought all the rest
The nashville sky took just two days
An abundance of the blues
A bathroom full of scorpions
A suitcase full of shoes
I'm reading postcards from the boys
Something had to give
Let's love one another and get it over with
I'm reading postcards from the boys
We knew how to live
Let's love one another and get it over with.
From one 10 o' clock to 1 o' clock
we'd listen to the tracks
Make a beacoup full of blues
To paper over cracks
Who'd have thought it would come to this
Written one one side
Sent to Compton avenue
Nowhere left to hide
I'm reading postcards from the boys
Something had to give
Let's love one another
And get it over with
I'm reading postcards from the boys
We knew how to live
Let's love one another
And get it over with
Let's love one another
And get it over with

List Song
03:58
|

Taking steps, touching hearts
Catching breath, making starts
Falling down, standing tall
Breaking bones, climbing walls
Feeling great, talking brave
Cheating chance, breaking waves
Healing hands, killing time
Mending hearts, friends of mine
Mending hearts, friends of mine
Jump into the river
Cling on to deadwood
Pulling the trigger
Wishing you could
Swim to the mainland
Dry in the sun
If love is the answer
I love no one
If love is the answer
I love no one
Making plans, empty task
Cry for help, scared to ask
Bridge a gap, cover tracks
Moving on, stepping back
Jump into the river
Cling onto deadwood
Pulling the trigger
Wishing you could
Swim to the mainland
Dry in the sun
If love is the answer
I love no one
If love is the answer
I love no one
Watching clocks, counting sheep
Priceless words, talking cheap
Closing time, ringing bell
Up or down, time will tell
Up or down, time will tell
If love is the answer
I love no one
If love is the answer
I love no one

Not Brenda's Song
03:17

The red tops paint a picture
But you read it black & white
What was the motivation
Just try to make it right
I wasn't born a bad man
I'll show you right from wrong
Embrace a new beginning
This isn't Brenda's song
Don't shoot the messenger, shoot the passer by
Climb the stairs to Henniker Point until you touch the sky
Don't tell me you don't want this, I can see it in your eyes
Don't shoot the messenger, shoot the passer by
The number 257
Will pass the Bakers Arms
Don't forget the green man
Do they carry lucky charms
I didn't read a bad sign
They showed me right from wrong
Embrace a new beginning
This isn't Brenda's song
Don't shoot the messenger, shoot the passer by
Climb the stairs to Henniker Point until you touch the sky
Don't tell me you don't want this, I can see it in your eyes
Don't shoot the messenger, shoot the passer by
I want born a bad man
I'll show you right from wrong
Embrace a new beginning
This isn't Brenda's song
Embrace a new beginning
This isn't Brenda's song
This isn't Brenda's song
This isn't Brenda's song
This isn't Brenda's song

I'll bring the men & mountains to life, from Borrowdale to Ben
Obsess about the BGR, the 42 & then.
I'll grab this tiger by the tail & see it all so clear.
Running down the mountain, just a three-song drive from here.
He danced just like an angel, his feet are in the clouds.
On points so needle sharp, they never touched the ground.
He grabbed that tiger by the tail & saw it all so clear.
Running down the mountain, just a three -song drive from here
Tell all of your friends that I'm winning
Tell all of your friends that I'm home
These are the scenes from a fell-running year
Tell all of your friends that I'm home
Tell all of your friends that I'm home
Sometimes I feel so ashamed, now that I'm over this hill.
The Londoner won't say his sorry, now that he's standing still
He grabbed this tiger by the tail & saw it all so clear.
Running down the mountain, just a three-song drive from here
Tell all of your friends that I'm winning
Tell all of your friends that I'm home

In 1957, Harley Earl designed the most beautiful automobile the world would ever
see.
By 1960 the tail-fin was all but extinct.
In 2013 Harley Earl appeared to Essex chancers David Myers and Malcolm Moore in a dream.
‘Create melody and meaning that will allow the human race to move freely and without drag...
Be aer-o-dy-NAS-mic.
Be The 1957 Tail-Fin Fiasco’.
