Thought i was light years ahead of them
But i was blind they were only miles
Light years ahead of them, he must be right

I was only pretending to be just another wannabe
A love supreme in flip flops
There might be peacocks in disguise
You’d better practice your passing shots
Beware of bishops dealing with their ups and downs

You were born in Christchurch baby
Listen to the bells
They’re ringing again in your ears
They resound in the evening
They resound when you’re young
They’re sound in the morning
They resound when you’re getting old/get things done

Feel young and free
When the sun shines above me
The sounds of the city fill my heart with joy and beauty
Fountains of champagne to celebrate the next day
My generation’s full of optimism
What does it take?
What does it take to be here today?

We're about to
come
Now the wet dream's over
Reality bites
Sometimes i'm
sure you like the way
I sing Van Dyke Parks
Tonight

The
shape of things to come
Well i know it's hard for you to hear
that
Our friendship's gonna die
If you behave like that and
despise the things we said
Tonight

And the streets are
filled with love
If you really take a look
Sit back, relax &
cool it down
The time is right
She's waiting there

« I
know where you're coming from »
Isn't it the best way to
make people
Feel uncomfortable ?
Sometimes i'm sure you liked
the way
I overcame my stage fright

And the streets are
filled with love
If you take a second look
Sit back, relax,
just let it shine
Within your mind
She's waiting there

Don't wanna spend the day
Don't wanna spend my Sunday
Longing for the next train to crash
Don't wanna spend my life, don't wanna spend my life
Waiting for the weekend to get mad
Why d'you so discreetly look at your watch ?
Twice a year, that's not enough, that's not fair, that's pretty rough
Make up your mind

I don't wanna stay
Just need a helping hand
That would make my day
So please don't let me stay

So spread, make up your mind
We're running late
Spread, make up your mind
We can't afford the time to search for another wreck
So spread and dive, maybe find
Another mate of mine
