Sleeping Rough - Prefab Sprout

Last night I went and took a drive Drove underneath the city lights They reminded me of singing "Fireflies", our ears were ringing In that karaoke bar When we were dancing under chairs And toasting to our future years Oh, I blinked and it went missing And now all I do is sit and think And wonder where you are I'm tired of all the "what-ifs" and "maybes" The curiosity is driving me crazy I'm going back to the place where we found us I'm gonna stay here even if the cold gets tough 'Cause I got high, high hopes that you might show up And until you do, I'll be sleeping rough And, yeah, the world will turn and the rain might pour But that don't change who I will be waiting for 'Cause I got high, high hopes that you might show up And until you do, I'll be sleeping rough The runners, yeah, they pass me by The school run on the nine-to-five Said, "I've been here for days I don't care, I'm happy waiting" If you wanna know why I'm tired of all the "what-ifs" and "maybes" The curiosity is driving me crazy I'm going back to the place where we found us I'm gonna stay here even if the cold gets tough 'Cause I got high, high hopes that you might show up And until you do, I'll be sleeping rough And, yeah, the world will turn and the rain might pour But that don't change who I will be waiting for 'Cause I got high, high hopes that you might show up And until you do, I'll be sleeping rough Sleeping rough So if you ever find yourself looking for me You don't need to call, you'll know where I'll be Look for the sign in the corner of the street That's where I'll be, that's where we'll meet Back at the place where we found us I'm gonna stay here even if the cold gets tough 'Cause I got high, high hopes that you might show up And until you do, I'll be sleeping rough Yeah, the world will turn and the rain might pour But that don't change who I will be waiting for 'Cause I got high, high hopes that you might show up And until you do, I'll be sleeping rough Sleeping rough

Late at night, all systems go You've come to see the show We do our best, you're the rest You make it real, you know There is a feeling deep inside That drives you fuckin' mad A feeling of a hammerhead You need it oh so bad Adrenaline starts to flow You're thrashing all around Acting like a maniac Whiplash Bang your head against the stage Like you never did before Make it ring, make it bleed Make it really sore In a frenzied madness With your leathers and your spikes Heads are bobbing all around It's hot as hell tonight Adrenaline starts to flow You're thrashing all around Acting like a maniac Whiplash Here on the stage The Marshall noise is piercing through your ears It kicks your ass, kicks your face Exploding feeling nears Now's the time to let it rip To let it fuckin' loose We're gathered here to maim and kill 'Cause this is what we choose Adrenaline starts to flow You're thrashing all around Acting like a maniac Here we go! Whiplash The show is through, the metal's gone It's time to hit the road Another town, another gig Again we will explode Hotel rooms and motorways Life out here is raw But we'll never stop, we'll never quit 'Cause we're Metallica Adrenaline starts to flow You're thrashing all around Acting like a maniac

What in the world's come all over me? I ain't got a chance of one in three. Ain't got no rap, ain't got no line But if you'll give me just a minute I'll be feelin' fine. I am the one who can fade the heat, The one they all say just can't be beat. I'll shoot it to you straight and look you in the eye. So gimme just a minute and I'll tell you why I'm a rough boy, I'm a rough boy. I don't care how you look at me Because I'm the one and you will see We can make it work, we can make it by. So give me one more minute and I'll tell you why I'm a rough boy, I'm a rough boy. - Billy Gibbons, Dusty Hill & Frank Beard

Cruel is the Gospel thats sets us all free Then takes you away from me There is no Chicago urban blues More heartfelt than my lament for you I'm a liberal guy, too cool for the macho ache With a secret tooth for the cherry on the cake With a pious smile, a smile that changes what I say While I waste my time in regretting That the days went from perfect to just okay Lordy, what would I do? Don't call me possessive But God if he's smoochin' with you I's a jealous boy root, the world should be free But don't you go following suit, my heart is aligned It couldn't be neutral, I couldn't be that way inclined It's hard to defend Paa paa paa, these feelings might tuppent up friend, it's cruel Paa paa paa, it's cruel Paa paa paa, it's cruel, it's crueler than cruel But cruel is the Gospel thats sets us all free Then takes you away from me Should a love be tender and bleed out loud Or be tougher than tough and prouder than proud? If I'm troubled by every folding of your skirt Am I guilty of every male inflicted hurt? But I don't know how to describe the modern rose When I can't refer to her shape against her clothes With the fever of purple prose Lordy, what would I do? Don't call me possessive But God if he's smoochin' with you I's a jealous boy root, the world should be free But don't you go following suit, my heart is aligned It couldn't be neutral, I couldn't be that way inclined It's hard to defend Paa paa paa, these feelings might tuppent up friend, it's cruel Paa paa paa, it's cruel Paa paa paa, it's cruel, it's crueler than cruel But cruel is the Gospel thats sets us all free Then takes you away from me Cruel is the Gospel that sets us all free Then takes you away from me My contribution to urban blues

Some expressions take me back Like hair of gold and sweet Mary And running to me The sweet sweet songs that cloud your eyes Nostalgia supplies Loreto Highstreet buried me Beneath the oak tree As this is to me Then so to you is something else That keeps you up long past your bedtime, tearing hair The sweetest moment comes at last The waitings over In shock they stare and cue fanfare When Bobby Fischer's plane touches the ground He'll take those Russian boys and play them out of town The sweetest moment comes at last The waitings over In shock they stare and cue fanfare When Bobby Fischer's plane touches the ground He'll take those Russian boys and play them out of town Playing for blood as grandmasters should Some obsessions take me back Like hair of golden and sweet Mary And running to me The sweet sweet songs that cloud your eyes Nostalgia supplies Loreto Highstreet buried me Beneath the oak tree When Bobby Fischer's plane touches the ground He'll take those Russian boys and play them out of town The sweetest moment comes at last The waitings over In shock they stare and cue fanfare When Bobby Fischer's plane touches the ground He'll take those Russian boys and play them out of town Playing for blood as grandmasters should

I've been asking what is new, like my streetwise buddy do Body talk seems big with him, so it's conversations in the gym Ooh enchanted ooh enchanted "Pray Forsooth" and "I Adore" ain't the ticket anymore So how'd you recognise a king? You ask yourself can that cat swing It's time to learn tiger stretch tiger burn Ooh enchanted And the calendar pages blew Like the Montagues, like the Capulet crew Ooh enchanted We're addicted to friction too Comin' down the years, plain enchantment That's the glue that binds and bonds The dying to the new, plain enchantment Ain't no purple rain quite like it Here's something to dwell upon Now we're living next we're gone, so if you've love please pass it on 'Cos it's a disbelieving world, but sensitive as any girl It's time to learn tiger stretch tiger burn Ooh enchanted And the calendar pages blew Like the Montagues, like the Capulet crew Ooh enchanted We're addicted to friction too It's time to learn tiger stretch tiger burn Ooh enchanted And the calendar pages blew Like the Montagues, like the Capulet crew Ooh enchanted We're addicted to friction too Ooh enchanted now we're living!
