WHY DON'T YOU JUST SAY?
Why don't you just say, say that it’s over? Why don't you just say?
You said we were fine, made for each other. Tell me, what's gone wrong? And why you've changed your mind
You said we were gold. We'd be together always. But now, your touch is cold. Drifting apart for days and days.
Come on, fill me in, tell me your story. Come on fill me in, what's going on?
Why don't you say, say that it’s over? Was that too hard, why don’t you just say?
You said we were fine, made for each other. Tell me, what's gone wrong? And why you've changed your mind?
Come on, fill me in, tell me your story. Come on fill me in, what's going on?
Why don't you say, why don’t you just say? Why don’t you just say?
Come on, fill me in, tell me your story. Come on fill me in, what's going on?
Why don't you say? (We were just like gold) Say that it’s over. (We'd be together, always.)
Was that too hard? Why don’t you just say? (Drifting apart for days and days.)
Come on, fill me in, tell me your story. (Say that it’s over. ) Come on fill me in, (Was that too hard? ) Why don't you just say? (What's going on?)
Why don't you say, Say that it’s over? Was that too hard, Why don’t you just say?
Why don't you just say, say that it’s over? Why don't you just say? Why don't you just say, say that it’s over...

‘Trouble’
Damn it Janet, The state of the planet. Asleep at the wheel, the people who ran it. Hey Joe, What do you know? Bad news today, and nowhere to go. Candy says she feels so dead; stuck at home, with Corona dread. Louie, Louie, just couldn’t stand it. A world of problems, only one planet! Oh, Ohh, We’re in Trouble! Oh, Ohh, We’re in Trouble! Jean Genie loves chimney stacks. But greenhouse gases damage the masses. Ice, ice baby, homeless and crazy; alone and no fun, steals from his mum. Oh Ohh, We’re in Trouble! Oh, Ohh, Just one planet! Hey! We’re in trouble! Just one planet! Lots of trouble now! Stupid leaders, liars, deceivers! Rigged elections, we’re in trouble! Arrogant bastards, get money for disasters. Boy’s club bigots, we’re in trouble! Greed is the norm, in a climate storm. Oval office tweets and we’re in trouble!

EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU
You think it’s everything, everything about you! You have that special thing, that special thing about you!
Everything, everything, everything about you! That special thing, that special thing, that special thing about you! These days, strange days. How many times, can I rearrange, all the things, in my life, to make it all just, just all fit right. These days, strange days. How many ways, can I really say, you’re not a thing, in my life. You know you just, don’t fit right. Lies, more lies, just lazy words, that I despise. You think it’s everything, everything about you! You have that special thing, that special thing about you! These days, strange days. How many times, can I rearrange, all the things, in my life, to make it all, all fit right. Could it fail? Could it fail? Our world, run by alpha males. Boys and toys, manic drivers, won’t be survivors. Lies, more lies. Just lazy words, that I despise! You think it’s everything, Everything about you! You have that special thing, that special thing about you! You think it’s everything, everything about you! You think it’s everything, everything about you! These days, strange days. How many ways, can I really say, you’re not a thing, in my life. You know you just, don’t fit right...Everything about you! (Don’t fit right) ….Everything about you! (Don’t fit right)...Everything about you!….everything about you! You think it’s everything, everything about you! You have that special thing, that special thing about you! Everything, everything, everything about you! That special thing, that special thing, that special thing about you!

THE NEXT TIME
Blind faith can’t earn a place, In the democratic process. Make a valid choice. Between what is worse, Incompetence or corruption? Maybe they won’t lie. Next time, next time. Maybe pigs will fly, Next time, the next time. Self-interest in conflict with the common good. Do we always speak and act, as we should? As we should? Media moguls, Mining tycoons. Are doing fine, not thinking of you. Media moguls and Mining tycoons. Aren’t thinking of you, Not thinking of you! Maybe they won’t lie. Next time, next time. Maybe pigs will fly, Next time, the next time. Not thinking of you! Not thinking of you! Cast your vote. But they’re all the same. They won’t think of you. They won’t think of you. If voting could change anything, it would. But it changes nothing, It changes nothing! Next time, next time. Maybe pigs will fly, Next time, the next time. But it changes nothing, It changes nothing. But it changes nothing, It changes nothing. Next time, They’ll lie. Like they always do,(But it changes nothing the Next Time) They’re not thinking of you. False promises Are all they say. (But it changes nothing the Next Time) False promises, They’ll make you pay (But it changes nothing the Next Time). Next time.

NO COMPROMISE
I say ‘black’’, you say ‘white’, We won’t work it out without compromise. You say ‘work’, I say ‘play’, It ain't gonna work with no shades of grey. No compromise, no loving eyes. Just stupid lies, and no compromise! You want it all, I just want some. And you don’t talk, You’re just no fun. I say it's true, you say it’s lies. We won’t survive with no compromise. No compromise, no loving eyes. Just stupid lies. And no compromise! And no compromise! And no compromise! If we can’t meet midway. Let's call it a day. If we can’t sort it out. Then we’re done. Then we’re done! And no compromise! No compromise, no compromise. Just stupid lies. And no compromise! No compromise, No compromise, And no compromise.

THIS UNQUIET MIND
Always looking, but nothing to find, can’t escape, this, unquiet mind. Always changing, can’t unwind, no control, over this, unquiet mind. I’ve got to get out of here, I’ve got to find. I’ve got to get some relief, away from this, unquiet mind. Ups and down, round and round. Body pulsing, can’t slow down. I’ve got to get out of here, I’ve got to find. I’ve got to get some relief, away from this, unquiet mind. And the colours all get closer, swirling all around, wrapping round my body, all around, all around. Wrapping round my body, all around, all around, then a hand in the sky, lifts me off the ground. Ups and down, round and round. Body pulsing, can’t slow down. I want to get out of here, I’ve got to find. I’ve got to get some relief, away from this, unquiet mind. Yeah. I want to get out of here, I want to find. I’ve got to get some relief, away from this, unquiet mind. Yeah. I’ve got to get out of here.

(THE WORLD IS) Not an ASHTRAY
I won’t assume that you know nothing. I’ve done some living, and some loving too. I’m not invisible, just a little bit older. Keeping my nerve, trying to be bold. But…The world is not your ashtray! The world is not your cash tray. The world is not an ashtray! Take it from me, I’ve been right around. I’ve seen some things, heard a lot of sounds. I’ve been knocked down. Got up off the ground. But I’ve got to say...The world is not an ashtray! I see you walking down the street with trash in hand. Walking down the street with your head in the sand. Walking down the street with your cash in your hand. Where there’s smoke there’s fire and the ashes they don’t fly... away. Where there’s smoke there’s fire and the world is not your ashtray. Look at the earth; hear what she told you. So keep your nerve, try to be bold. You can be wiser, as well as older. So keep your nerve, try to be bold. The world is not your ASHTRAY!
