Verse 1
I wanna get up and go and get on an aeroplane,
And see what the winds will bring,
If anything at all.
Verse 2
Where do make a new start,
Tell me where do you begin
Because I'm running out of oxygen
And I can stand no more.
Verse 3
I wanna send postcards from places that I've never been,
Feel the need to go traveling,
Keep going, on and on and on.
Chorus
10,000 Feet High And Rising
I'm going to live so far away.
Why don't you broaden your horizon,
I thought I heard you say.
Verse 4
I wanna get up and go but I don't like aeroplane's.
I'll take a fistful of valium,
Just to ease my nerves.
Verse 5
You say you've seen things, but you've seen nothing.
I just want to feel something.
What I don't yet know.
Chorus x 4

Get Out

Verse 1
She said get out of my life
She said get out of my life,
Cause I don't want you
She said get out of my dreams,
She said get out of my dreams,
You give me nightmares.
Chorus
Because I, I, I, I, I, I, I don't want you.
Verse 2
She said get out of my house,
She said get out of my house,
Your going nowhere.
Well it's plain to see,
Your doing nothing for me,
There's just nothing.
Chorus
Because I, I, I, I, I, I, I don't want you.
Bridge
She never loved me
She never needed me
She never loved me
I couldn't believe it
Never been through anything like that before
Never been through anything like that before
Breaking my heart
She's wrecking my dreams
Breaking my heart
It's just the way it seems
Never been through anything like that before
Don't want to see your face no more
Chorus

My Window
04:00
|
|||
Verse 1
I can see the world, see the world, see the world,
From outside my window.
It don't look much to much to me,
But what would I know.
Verse 2
I can see the world, see the world, see the world,
Pass by my window,
Some just shoot the breeze, do as they please,
But mostly no shows.
Chorus 1
And as this world falls away,
I'm on my own, out on my own.
Most people got nothing to say.
Is there anyone home,
Is there anyone home.
Chorus 2
And as this world falls away,
I'm on my own, out on my own.
Your throwing you life away.
Is there anyone home,
Is there anyone home.

All Across the World
02:41
|
|||
Verse 1
All across the world with my friends and me
Taking pictures as the days they go by
And everywhere I go it's the same story
Some fucker with something for me to buy
Chorus
While up in the sky a shooting star is born
As another star dies
And down in the village
A little child is born
You can hear its cries
As another man dies
Verse 2
Well I just want to go where I can be free
Where the welcome mats say hello and not goodbye
And every corner turned will be a new story
These things in life that money just can't buy
Chorus
Bridge
And I know how good it feels
To have sunlight on my face
But I know how good it will feel
To be home, home again
Verse 3
All across the world with my compadres
Some fall short while others stand beside
And on and on we seem to go
Stretch across the great divide.

I Turned Out A Punk
03:43
|
|||
Verse 1
Mummy was a hostess, daddy was a drunk
'Cos they didn't love me then, I turned out a punk
An ex house full of memories, memories and junk
Never had a childhood, I turned out a punk
Chorus
Better learn to play guitar with a plink and a plunk
I didn't like jazz, I didn't like funk
I turned out a punk
I turned out a punk
Verse 2
Slowly started slipping down 'till my ship was sunk
Going nowhere in my life, I turned out a punk
Didn't care 'bout anyone, sat 'round smoking skunk
Didn't know what I had done, I turned out a punk
Chorus
Better learn to play guitar with a plink and a plunk
I didn't like jazz, I didn't like funk
I turned out a punk
I turned out a punk
Chorus
Better learn how to play guitar with a plink and a plunk
I didn't like jazz, I didn't like funk
I turned out a punk
I turned out a punk
Verse 3
Woke in the afternoon with a mouth full of gunk
Blob out with my video, I turned out a punk
Took my disabilities, packed them in a trunk
Rock 'n' roll's alright by me, I turned out a punk
Chorus
Better learn how to play guitar with a plink and a plunk
I didn't like jazz, I didn't like funk
I turned out a punk
I turned out a punk
I turned out a punk
I turned out a punk
