ARENA SUPERGRASS LYRICS

I'd Like To Know
I like to wake up on a Saturday, say hello you,
A cup of coffee and I smoke a cigarette or two
I never had it so good, I never got it, it could be love before,
I like to run around with everyone, you know it's true,
Driving down the street, I'm always looking for a better view,
I'd like to know where all the strange ones go, I'd like to go where all the strange ones go, I'd like to know what all the strange ones know, I'm gonna go where all the strange ones go, do they live alone?
I like to wake up in the middle of a dream with you, going up and down I'm always looking for a better view,
I'd like to know where all the strange ones go, I'd like to go where all the strange ones go, I'd like to know what all the strange ones know, I'm gonna go where all the strange ones go,
I'd like to know where all the strange ones go, I'd like to go where all the strange ones go, I'd like
to know what all the strange ones know, I'm gonna go where all the strange ones go, all the strange ones go.......

Caught By The Fuzz
Caught by the fuzz, I was still on a buzz,
In the back of the van with my head in my hands,
Just like a bad dream, I was only fifteen,
If only my brother could be here now, he'd get me out, he'd sort me out alright,
I knew I should have stayed at home tonight!
Locked in a cell, feeling unwell,
I talked to a man who says "better to tell"
Who sold you the blow?
Well it was no one I know,
If only you'd tell us, we'd let you go,
we'll make it hard for you my son, so tell us what you know,
we'll make you wish you stayed at home tonight!
Here comes my mum, well she knows what I've done,
Just tell them the truth, you know where he's from,
You've blackened our name, well you should be ashamed,
If only your father could see you now, he'd break down and he'd throw you out for sure,
I never should have let you out tonight!


Mansized Rooster
Wait a minute now, you just can't run away,
you've got no money and you've got no place to stay, things are bad, but there's always another way,
How would you know if you never ever saw me?!
Oh no, when I look at you I say, "Why you lookin' so crazy? Why you lookin' so lonely for love? What do you wanna be now? Why you lookin' so crazy? Why you lookin' so lonely for love? What do you wanna see now?"
Wait a minute, it's all wrong! Wait a minute, it's all gone wrong!
Wait a minute now, you just can't hide away,
You've got no money and you've got no face to save, you think it's bad, but there's always another way, how would you know if you never ever saw me?
Oh no, when I look at you I say "Why you lookin' so crazy? Why you lookin' so lonely for love? What do you wanna be now? Why you lookin' so crazy? Why you lookin' so lonely for love? What do you wanna be now?"
Oh yeah, what do you wanna see? Oh yeah, what do you wanna be? What do you wanna feel?

Alright
We are young, we run green, keep our teeth nice and clean, see our friends, see the sights, feel alright!
We wake up, we go out, smoke a fag, put it out, see our friends, see the sights, feel alright!!!!
Are we like you? I can't be sure! On the scene as she turns, we are strange in our worlds, but
We are young, we get by, can't go mad, ain't got time, sleep around if we like, we're alright!
Got some cash, bought some wheels, took it out, 'cross the fields, lost control, hit a wall, we're alright!
Are we like you? I can't be sure! On the scene as she turns, we are strange in our worlds, but
We are young, we run green, keep our teeth nice and clean, see our friends, see the sights, feel alright!!!

Strange Ones
There's a place where the strange ones go that nobody here could know,
They look down from the clouds and smile at everyone down below,
There's a place where the strange ones go that nobody here could know,

I wanna cry for you, I wanna die for you, everybody needs a home, well, are you strange enough? Are you deranged enough? Every fucker needs a home!

Sitting Up Straight
Sitting up straight on the back of the bus, Mimmicking time as evening turns to dusk,
Well I look at the boy with his face to the floor,
Have a little smoke just to pass the time of day, hey hey, hey hey!!
He's like me, well he'll do anything to get away,
I know, can you believe it? Everyday I know I can, believe in you, well it means everything and every pound to me!

She's So Loose
Take my love away! It's never gonna work for you!
Well I met her at night, you know that seeing is believing, I know the feeling was right, she couldn't stop screaming,
And she swallowed him down, to the heart of the world! She's so loose!
Take these wings away! They're never gonna work for me!

We're Not Supposed To
We're not supposed to make friends with you, because you look so lonely, so we're going to make friends with you
We're not supposed to talk to you,
because we know you're stranger, but you're no stranger than me or you, then me or you,
But everybody's going away, and everybody wants us to stay, but you-ou, and everybody's coming to say, that everybody wants us to stay, but you-ou!
We're not supposed to make love to you, because we know you're younger, but you're no younger than me or you, than me or you,
Than me or you!!!

Sofa (Of My Lethargy)
I wandered for awhile,
I didn't have that far to go,
Waiting for a letter,
Only to discover that I'm not with you,
I know it to be true,
you're only gonna go again,
standing at the harbour,
There is only water to be talking to,
I sold it to the trees,
I didn't know which way to go,
Underneath the harbour,
waiting for the sun to settle down,
I owe it to your dreams,
They always seem to bring me 'round,
Waiting at the harbour,
There is only water to be talking to,
Hold on now, all I wanna do is see you,
But everybody's there just sitting 'round staring at the ceiling,
What 'cha gonna find in your mixed up mind when you're dreaming?!
Could it be we're not like you at all?!
Hold on now, all I wanna do is see you,
But everybody's there just sitting 'round staring at the ceiling,
It's funny what you find in your mixed up mind when you're dreaming?!
May'be we're not like you at all!!

Time To Go
Thanks to everyone for everything you've done, but now it's time to go!
You know it's hard, we've had some fun, but now that morning's come it's time to go!
Who could ask for more?!
Who could ask for more?!
Thanks to everyone for everything you've done, but now it's time to go!
You know it's hard, we've had some fun, but now that morning's come it's time to go!
Who could ask for more?!

Odd?
I drift out to sea,
Moving slowly away,
Along on the breeze,
Put my sorrow to sleep,
But I know, yes I know how to live,
And true love for me is all that I need,
It's something I've always done wrong!
To sleep and not dream,
Is the way I feel,
There's one for me,
On the bed of the sea
But I know, yes I know how to live,
And true love for me is all that I need,
It's something I've always done wrong!
But I know, yes I know how to live,
And true love for me is all that I need,
It's something I've always done wrong!
But I know, yes I know how to live,
And true love for me is all that I need,
It's something I've always done wrong!
I know all sorts of things.....

Stonefree (Jimi Hendrix)
Everyday of the week,
I feel the wind, honey,
But if I stay too long,
They try to hold me down,
They talk about me like a dog,
Talk about the clothes I wear,
But they don't realize
They're the ones who're square

Yeah that's why,
You can't hold me down,
Don't wanna be tied down,
I wanna be free, yeah, oh, say,
Stonefree, do what I please,
Stonefree, ride on the breeze,
Stonefree, I can't stay,
Got to, got to, got to get away!
Oh yeah!

I rode 'em here,
I rode 'em there,
They keep me in a plastic cage,
But they don't realize,
It's so easy to break,
Sometimes I, I feel like,
I've got to run wild,

Sex!
Sex is a very funny thing,
Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad,
You can't get it all the same,
First time can be very hard, but you know you've gotta try it again,
Yeah, just try it again!
Now, sex is a curious thing,
Sometimes it burns, sometimes it stings,
sometimes it leaves a stain,
One day you've just had enough,
Next day, you've gotta try it again,
And again and again!
....A year's supply of shepherd's pie!
Now, sex is a very funny thing,
Sometimes it's , sometimes it's , sometimes it's ,
The first time can be very hard,
But you know you've gotta try it again,
Yes just try it again and again,
And that's sex!!

Condition (Kenny Rogers)
I woke up this morning with the sun down shinig in,
I found my mind in a brown paper bag with in,
I tripped on a crowd, baby, eight miles high,
I tore my mind on a jagged sky,
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in!
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah,
What condition my condition was in!!
I pushed my soul to the deep dark hole,
And then I followed it in,
I watched my self crawling out as I was crawling in,
I got so much, I could not wind,
I saw so much, I broke my mind,
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in!
So when baby wake up sun,
I'm a dead inside,

As I left my room and out of my mind,
And right down in Memphis where I got the -----

Sometimes I Make You Sad

Shut up,
the world is getting dizzy,
some let me climb inside.

There's only one way you can do it,
Just let your mind unwind,

That turns the world as sane, hello,
But the people don't care,
There's nothing out there,

Once there was a boy,
Spend years all alone,
What a poor boy, oh oh,

I really didn't know,
The sound of the sane,
Coming back from the sun,
In order,

You're muv will have to get pretty,
Sometimes I make you sad,

How about the pigs you've been feeding,
It's like the world is sane,
And then the curtain falls on you,
But the people don't care,
There's nothing out there,

And all the world has said it's true,
The people don't care,
There's nothing out there

Late In The Day

Things that you say.
So long,
So long for me,

It's late in the day,
I'm talking to you
Hear what I say,
So long,
So long for me,

All the time I thought of you ,
In an ordinary way,
You slip back down the heart away,
All I really have to say
Is people pass along the way,
Thoughts of you and me again,

I lay on my bed,
Searching my mind,
Writing my love,
So long,
So long for me,

I sleep on the road,
Dreaming of a sound,
Coming my way,
So long,
So long for me,

All the time I thought of you,
In an ordinary way,
Check back down the heart away,
And all I really have to say
Is people pass along the way,
Thoughts of you and me again,

All the time I thought of you,
In an ordinary way,
You slip back down the heart away,
And all I really have to say
Is people pass along the way,
I close my eyes and turn away,
All the time I think of you,
In an ordinary day,
Check back down the heart away,
And all I really have to say
There's people passin' 'long the way,
Thoughts of you and me again!

Sun Hits The Sky
I know a place where the sun hits the sky,
Everything ages and blows out the night,
Everyone knows why my time can't be tied,
Cos I want to be where the sun meets the sky!

I am a doctor,
I'll be your doctor,
I'm on my way,
And you won't come down today,
Live by the rat race,
Been with the rat ones,
And they hold you down,
We'll turn the world around!

Well I just don't know why the sun hits the sky,
Everyone's dreams get to turn out the light,
Living is easy,
When time's on my side,
Cos I want to live where the sun meets the sky!

I am a doctor,
I'll be your doctor,
I'm on my way,
You won't come down today,
Live by the rat race,
Been with the rat ones,

It's Not Me
Over their heads,
I find a place to crawl away,
So many times,
I hear the things they used to say,

Into the night,
The conversation fades away,
Losing the drift,
Of all the things I have to say,

I'ts not me, no, no, not me,
But I don't knwo what is,
And I try and find my piece of mind,,
But I know what I miss,
Now it's gone,
Now it's gone,
Now it's gone,

As everyone listens,
My head turns away,
I know what I'm missing,
They have nothing to say,

It's not me, no, no, not me,
But I don't know what is,
I try and find my piece of mind,
But I know what I miss,

No, it's not me, no, no, not me,
But I don't know what is,
I try and find my piece of mind,
But I know what I miss!

Cheapskate
Lift me up,
And move me closer,
Holding on to what I know,

She's the one who lives in the fine life,
I see a side you'll never know,

I need someone to be around,
Cos I'm breakin' into life,
Somebody stop me,
Cos I'm lookin' for my,
Lookin' for my high,

She's the one who lives the fine life,
I see a side you'll never know

Somebody stop me,

Now I'm breakin' through the dawn,
Somebody stop me,
Cos I'm lookin' for my,
Lookin' for my....!!!

Over blue seas,
I'm alone,

You can see me,
I'm not ready to go,
You can see me,
You can see me,
I'm not ready to go,
You can see me,

You can see me,
I'm not ready to go,
You can see me,

You can see me,
I'm not ready to go,
You can see me!

Hollow Little Reign
I've tried,
Thinking things over,
Conversations running 'round in my head,
Good times last so much longer,
And summer love going straight to my head,
Some day when I care,

Cool skies,
Drinking the sunshine,
Feel the wind going through my hair,
It's our time,
Talking it over,
Take you home for the hell of my babe ________,
Some day when I care,

Sometimes, clouds will come over,
There'll be spots,
Soak run in our eyes ___________,
One day when we're feeling alot better,
Take a train to cooler climes,
Someday when I care!

Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others (Morrisey)
From the ice age
To the dole age,
There is but one concern,
I have just discovered,
some girls are bigger than others,
Some girls are bigger than others,
Some girls' mothers are bigger than other girls' mothers,
And as Antony said to Cleopatra,
As he opened a crate of ale,
Oh I said
Some girls are bigger than others,
Some girls are bigger than others,
Some girls' mothers are bigger than other girls' mothers!
