Oh here it comes a sudden rush laugh oh laugh I'm fit to burst walking on just happy to be... well I just can't explain It's a wonderful day, in my own little way I'm clean of politicians fn my head I'm clean of fn tv done fn my head.

Anna had a kid, a kid called Emma, girls of a kind both Anna and Emma with a big big heart and the liking for a drink, drink and the loving of a life no guilt for the loving of a life.

Ive got no ambition instead butterflies instead in my head i guess you must get frustrated... i'd rather walk than get ahead. catch a falling catch a falling catch a falling star silver tongues immaculate dress I just can't help they don't impress - me I know that you think I'm a mess but i'd rather watch the mountain glow catch a falling catch a falling catch a falling star watching the grass grow is fine by me, and the paint as it dries, has some mystery - for me.

See it everyday in the papers and the TV see it in my local bar CNN BBC Fox news n Aljezira, (they say ) only immigrants and poor that are bad. but i've never seen a kid a kid born evil never seen a kid born bad

We Got Today 02:28
I got a thousand ways to hate a thousand ways to detest you but not today but not today Gonna wash it all away, gonna be so clean for you today and thats today thats today. Yesterdays gone and tomorrow's yet to come, we got today we got today Well your head is bigger than the solomon islands and your heart beats faster at the sound of your own voice... but I don't care I don't care. Because my Guinness glass is overflowing and the sun is shining and I know where I'm going... I'm happy today happy today Yesterdays gone and tomorrow's yet to come, we got today we got today How good how good can it get, I never thought this could happen to me How good how good can it get, I aint finished yet I got NYC I got you n me you and me I'm sooooooooo happy.... Gonna park my spleen, gonna park my spleen, gonna park my spleen in a plastic bag and never look back.
