- Beatnik
Alright!
He's a rebel, he's a guru, and he's a beatnik
He's a rebel, he's a traitor, and he's a beatnik
He's a runner, and he's in the race to be a beatnik
He's a mentor, and he's a traitor, and he's a beatnik
She's a pebble, he's the water, he's a beatnik
- Books Of California
All these words I wrote
Those books were mine
From shattered avenues
Lost silver shine
"You can't catch death" wrote my baby girl
But I'd left that street
And I'd left the world
- I Close My Eyes And Think Of God
He said he felt like falling
(I feel like falling)
Said I can't stop drinking
(It helps the fever)
I close my eyes to think of God but he ain't there
I close my eyes to think of you but you ain't there
I close my eyes to think of God but he ain't there
- look at you now you're crying
And there's no-one to say goodnight to
And the simple English rain
Just breaks her heart again
She looks at her hands
And expects raindrops and pearls
All for her love was had
But she's the MTV girl
- Love Without Lies
He's worn the same suit for weeks and moused up his look
He's got a pocket for his walkman and a pocket for his bus book
In order to be smart he'll switch off his brain.
If conditions were different he'd do exactly the same
The same damn way
Again
Cut off my hair
- Why I Try to Look So Bad
I was trying to look so hard
I was trying to find my way
I woke up sleeping
With green eyes, brown eyes
Get them away from me
There's nothing I will regret
There's nothing to forget
