YOU CAN'T GET OUT OF
I'm not afraid I never thought you were a fool You've got to get yourself together
I will not forsake And you are such a fool You've got to get yourself together I was unconscious, half asleep You've got to get yourself together And if the night runs over And if the night runs over It's just a moment The heart is a bloom It's a beautiful day You're on the road It's a beautiful day Touch me See the world in green and blue It's a beautiful day Touch me What you don't have It's a beautiful day Soul, goal
Beautiful day In New York freedom feels like In New York summers get hot In New York you can forget
New York, New York The Irish have been coming there for years
New York, New York In New York I lost it all You got to put the women New York, New York In the stillness of the evening New York New York, New York As long as the night is coloured As long as you're on your knees Avenue Atlantico She's got the baby Oh mama, mama, mama, ma I'm gonna change like the weather She feels it Oh mama, mama, mama, ma
She's elliptical Ohhh, ohhh, ohhh As long as the night is coloured As long as you're on your knees She can taste every sensation Big Girls
Oh mama, mama, mama, ma It's a beautiful day The heart is a bloom It's a beautiful day Touch me You're on the road It's a beautiful day Touch me See the Bedouin fires at night It was a beautiful day It's a beautiful day What you don't have Beautiful day
Of anything in this world
There's nothing you can throw at me
That I haven't already heard
I'm just trying to find
A decent melody
A song that I can sing
In my own company
But darling look at you
You gotta stand up straight
Carry your own weight
These tears are going nowhere
Baby
You've got stuck in a moment
And now you can't get out of it
Don't say that later will be better
Now you're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it
The colours that you bring
But the nights you filled with fireworks
They left you with nothing
I am still enchanted
By the light you brought to me
I listen through your ears
And through your eyes I can see
To worry like you do
I know it's tough
And you can never get enough
Of what you don't really need now
My oh my
You've got stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it
Oh love look at you now
You've got yourself stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it
The water is warm till you discover how deep
I wasn't jumping
For me it was a fall
It's a long way down to nothing at all
You've got stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it
Don't say that later will be better now
Now you're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it
And if the day won't last
And if our way should falter
Along the stony pass
And if the day won't last
And if your way should falter
Along the stony pass
This time will pass
BEAUTIFUL DAY (live)
Shoots up through the stony ground
But there's no room
No space to rent in this town
You're out of luck
And the reason that you had to care
The traffic is stuck
And you're not moving anywhere
You thought you'd found a friend
To take you out of this place
Someone you could lend a hand
In return for grace
The sky falls
And you feel like
It's a beautiful day
But you've got no destination
You're in the mud
In the maze of her imagination
You love this town
Even if it doesn't ring true
You've been all over
And it's been all over you
Don't let it get away
Beautiful day
Take me to that other place
Teach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case
See China right in front of you
See the canyons broken by cloud
See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
See the Bedouin fires at night
See the oil fields at first light and
See the bird with a leaf in her mouth
After the flood all the colours came out
Don't let it get away
Beautiful day
Take me to that other place
Teach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case
You don't need it now
What you don't know
You can feel it somehow
What you don't have
You don't need it now
You don't need it now
Don't need it now
The goal is soul
Goal, goal, goal
The goal is soul
Sing it
NEW YORK (live)
Too many choices
In New York I found a friend
To drown out the other voices
Voices on the cell phone
Voices from home
Voices of the hard sell
Voices down the stairwell
In New York
Just got a place in New York
Well into the hundreds
You can't walk around the block
Without a change of clothing
Hot as a hairdryer in your face
Hot as a handbag and a can of mace
New York
I just got a place in New York
Forget how to sit still
Tell yourself you will stay in
But it's down to Alphaville
New York, New York
New York, New York
New York, New York
Feels like they own the place
They got the airport, city hall, concrete
Asphalt, they even got the police
Irish, Italian, Jews and Hispanics
Religious nuts, political fanatics in the stew
Living happily not like me and you
That's where I lost you
NewYork
New York
New York, New York
In New York
In New York
In New York
To you and your vices
Still I'm staying on to figure out
My mid wife crisis
I hit an iceberg in my life
But yeah I'm know I'm still afloat
You lose your balance
Lose your wife
In the queue for the lifeboat
And children first
But you've got an unquenchable thirst
For New York
New York
New York, New York
When the sun has had its day
I thought I heard you whisper
Come away child
BIG GIRLS ARE BEST
Blue and black
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
And she's not on her back
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
Seventeen-o-two
She's cocoa butter
Baby, she's the glue
At her breast
She knows big girls are best
Oh mama, mama, mama, ma
Hot to cold
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
She keeps it all together
She's got the mother load
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
Every sensation
She's got a smile
Like salvation
She's got a baby
At her breast
She knows big girls are best
Sexy mama, mama, mama, ma
Oh mama, mama, mama, ma
Sexy mama, mama, mama, ma
Also political
All so spiritual
Not superficial
Yeah, she's tropical
Yes, she's illogical
Those little girls are a pest
Big girls are the best
Ohhh, ohhh, ohhh
Blue and black
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
And she's not on her back
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
She's got a smile
Like salvation
She got a baby
A baby at her breast
She walk like she talk
Big girls are best
Sexy mama, mama, mama, ma
Oh mama, mama, mama, ma
Sexy mama, mama, mama, ma
BEAUTIFUL DAY (Q and S remix)
Don't let it get away
Beautiful day
Shoots up through the stony ground
But there's no room
No space to rent in this town
You're out of luck
And the reason that you had to care
The traffic is stuck
And you're not moving anywhere
You thought you'd found a friend
To take you out of this place
Someone you could lend a hand
In return for grace
The sky falls
And you feel like
It's a beautiful day
Take me to that other place
Teach me, love
I know I'm not a hopeless case
But you've got no destination
You're in the mud
In the maze of her imagination
You love this town
Even if it doesn't ring true
You've been all over
And it's been all over you
The sky falls
And you feel like
It's a beautiful day
Take me to that other place
Teach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case
See the oil fields at first light
See the bird with a leaf in her mouth
After the flood all the colours came out
Don't let it get away
Beautiful day
The sky falls
And you feel like
It's a beautiful day
You don't need it now
What you don't know
You can feel it somehow
What you don't have
You don't need it now
You don't need it now
You don't need it now
