Lyrics - Paul Addie Songs
ANOTHER DAY
Pigeon holes & fires & fairy tales
Slumber time recedes
Connected to the lies of somebody else’s
Barren burden dream
Crossing through breezes
Hat tipping Jesus (Jesus)
Crossing foreign lines
Berated by the ways of somebody else’s day
That might be tomorrow
That just can’t be tomorrow
Another day
Steeped within the wells of yesterday
With ashes to the sea
Like a little boy with little pleadings to she & I
There’s better ways to be
So crossing through breezes
Hat tipping Jesus (Jesus)
Still crossing foreign lines
What a body, what a brain
What a way to explain another day
That cannot be tomorrow
That just can’t be tomorrow
Another day
Another day
Another day
Another day
Oh yeah….
Another day…

GRAVY TRAIN
I – Got a table full of Sunday’s news
Shares apparently are going down
I think that I’ll neglect all that I’ve got to do today
It isn’t raining, but give it time
Ahhhh
Seeking answers not with friends
There’s no advantage in the end
The screaming lights are flashing
My meager psychic means have crashed
No white light new age shit to bring me round
If you wanna go, if you wanna go
If you wanna go round hiding under cover
If you wanna go, if you wanna go
If you wanna go to where you’ll be discovered
Take the gravy train
One way through your brain
Take the taste test – what’s inside (Don’t deny)
Let your feelers go
Suss the bad and keep the gold
No clipped wings anymore, it’s time to fly
Ahhhh
Funny little things can get me down
Lovers kind of use them when they’re found
Can seem like a demolition
A war head detonation
Do the games keep circling round and round
(And round and round)
So you see, there’s plenty ground that we can cover
To lead the simple life
Don’t tip toe round the strife
Looks like I’ve got a lot to do today
If you wanna know, if you wanna know
If you wanna know what’s hiding under cover
If you wanna know, if you wanna know
If you wanna know what’s there to be discovered
Take the gravy train
One way through your brain
Take the taste test – what’s inside (Don’t deny)
Let your feelers go
Suss the bad and keep the gold
No clipped wings anymore, it’s time to fly
Ahhhh

YOU
Helplessly I fear what I can do
Butterflies & carpet rides
Frayed & fallen through
Ending at the means no longer true
Flowers falling from the sky
Can I
Melt with
You
Velvet shines so pretty in the sun
Paisley in your eyes
Swirling as we bleed to one
Whispers softer than the breeze
Softer than the morning light
Fragile as the leaves
Are
You
Through space and time
Oh oooh
Oh
Through space, through space & time
Whooo o o o oo
Through space & time
Ooh
You will be mine
Through space and time
Through space, through space, and time
Whoo hoo o o o ooo o ooo ooo

NANNA
Take your mind back to your happiest days
When you were two foot nothing
And always had your own way
You bring the milk bottles out with the milk bottle change
And a big hug from Nanna that still means so much today
Another notch on the wall to show how big I am
Another big hug from Nanna, ‘You’re my little big man’
(Chorus)
Who can you count on, who can you lean on
Who keeps on loving like a never ending fountain
Who keeps you smiling, never leaves you crying
No-one can compare, that’s my Nan
Coming home from school my report’s in my hand
Only one person’s smiling
You guessed it, Nan
Well the years tick by through the adolescent age
Giving love to the many, forgetting the one that stays
How could I forget you, how could I neglect you
You’re the star that always shines
Living in the big world, making my stand
I’ve still got my Nanna, I’m still her little big man
Well I’ve got credit cards & nasal hair
And things to fix that need repair
A body not so beautiful
Oh yeah and women too
A hundred people good & bad
Philosophies that drive you mad
Situations every day
Enough to drive you insane
(Chorus)
Who can you count on, who can you lean on
Who keeps on loving like a never ending fountain
Who keeps you smiling, never leaves you crying
No-one can compare. that’s my Nan
That’s my Nan
That’s my Nan
Nanna
Take your mind back to your happiest days
And a big hug from Nanna that still means sooo much, today

‘CAUSE DAMMIT BABY
And I
Can’t read the lines to play my mind it’s true
It’s just the things I do, you know
That I
Won’t write a book describing de ja vu
You know we’ve been there too
You know that
When it rains, you know she shines, in equal arid times
What can I do
‘Cause dammit baby I love you
Don’t you know that I
Sure can dirty up and make that violet bloom
Catweasel to a loom
You know that I
Won’t share a glass half empty till it’s full
Then drink yo Katmandu
You know that
You seal my breath with grace
And wrap my mind in lace
What can I do
‘Cause dammit baby I love you
(Bridge)
Whooo, it’s a dirty word, it’s a holy world
Such a silly world where all out dreams come true
Whooo
Such a funny girl, it’s a sunny swirl
It’s a penchant for a charm in life
It’s a boy scout boy with a girl guide knife
And I
Sure can summon any army with a flute
Or weave my golden suit
You know that I
Sure can relocate I think my new tattoo
So was that good for you
You know that
You look so fine as I drift on by
So even when I die, you’ll know it’s true
‘Cause dammit baby I love you
You know it’s true
Tight fit for one that’s built for two

I GOT A FEELING
Suspicious furrowed brow
What good is it to me now
A saucer full of secrets
That slip into the crowd
The crystal ball of foresight
That tarot chandelier
The love that once was there now gone
Can anybody hear
I got a funny feeling
I commandeer the mirror
Sadness stares straight back
The pain inside my stomach stings
She’s never coming back
Ain’t good enough for Heaven
Too bad to go to hell
Altar boy or sinner on the run
God knows I cannot tell
I got a feeling
Something’s not quite right here
A whisper through my brain and bones, accompanies the air (4x)
Suspicion’s furrowed brow
What good is it to me now
A saucer full of secrets
That slip into the crowd
The crystal ball of foresight
That tarot chandelier
The love that once was there now gone
Can anybody hear
Can anybody hear
Can anybody, anybody
Can anybody hear
Can anybody hear me
Can anybody hear me
Can anybody hear me
Can anybody, anybody
Can anybody heeeeeaaaaaar me.

IT’S ALL OVER AGAIN
Taking old rides on this path I’m taking
Raining old tunes in my head
Taking steps forward terrain uncertain
The future keeps hiding instead
And it’s all over again
Much the same as it’s been
Something out of reach lol ok’s a bit familiar
Keeps a little out of the way
Could it be the same looking round my shoulder
The vision feels exactly the same
And it’s all over again
Much the same as it’s been
Well I’m sick and tired now of pushing on with the crowd
The re-runs in my head are just the same as they are now
The TV channels differ but this soapie’s still a’ playing
Where’s the entertainment guide
Where the hell’s it taking me
And it’s all over again
Much the same as it’s been

PHAZER
With just a single smile
You floor the passers by
It’s only fun
It’s only fun you’re having
A bleak and weary day
All the people were wasting away
Till you came in
Till you came singing hymns of
Love
It’s only love
It’s only love she’s playing
It’s only love
It’s only love she’s playing
Illumination supreme
As you writhe it’s plain to see
It’s just a game
It’s just a game you’re playing
Feathered beauty and pain
Shimmers down like rubys and rain
To you came in
Till you came
Singing hymns of
Love
It’s only love
It’s only love she’s playing
It’s only love
It’s only love she’s playing

MISSAPOINT
Missapoint this gaze
Yea I know this place
And you know I want to
Suitcase in your hand
Product in demand
You know we all can’t stand you
Ooooh
Staring into space, picture human race
Ooooh
I’ve never seen a colder face
And you make your shapes
Furthering the pace
Everyone’s in prisms
And you make your call
To another grip
It’s not ice, it’s snow
Ooooh
Staring into space, picture human race
Ooooh
I’ve never seen a colder face
El soni le
You kick the serpentine, you drop the bottom line
El soni Lee
Sipping turpentine
El soni Lee
There’ll be a second time, Is there a second time
El soni Lee
And you make your call, trouble on the wall
No one else can feed you
And you make your shapes
Furthering the pace
All the blood and jism

MONASTERY
I look like I’m bad
I look like I’m ROCK
I look like the apocalypse & ready to shock
I look like a nightmare your mother would hate
To send down the river & subjugate
Hair’s messy & long
I ding Motörhead songs
I played the role too long
Now my lover is gone – Hey
I feel like, I feel like, living in a monastery
I feel like, I feel like, ain’t another chance for me
I feel like, I feel like, slipping right away from me
I wonder if the sexy arty girls will ever look that way again to me
(Uno dos tres quattro)
I know I’ve been cheeky
I’ve looked other ways, yea
Most of my mind has been pure, but
I still can’t really blame her today
‘Cause I’m a hundred, I’m one
I’m still sweet sixteen
I’m a wise forty-five, yea
You know what I mean?
I’m a freedom fighter
A spirit reviver
A holy diver
Breathing life into the meek
I nestle tighter
With society smiters
I Nestle tighter
With society smiters
Hair’s messy & long
I sing Motörhead songs
Hair’s messy & long
I sing Motörhead songs
Hair’s messy & long (Killed by death)
I sing Motörhead songs (Killed by death)
Hair’s messy & long (Killed by death)
I sing Motörhead
Sing Motörhead songs yeah!
I feel like, I feel like, living in a monastery
I feel like, I feel like, ain’t another chance for me
I feel like, I feel like, slipping right away from me
I wonder if the sexy arty girls will ever look that way again to me
