All Songs, Words & Music, Written & Arranged By Colin MacIntyre
YOU'RE A STAR
Clothes, you don’t know what I’m wearing you for
You don’t know where I end and you start
You don’t know what my senses are for
Kings, kings and queens of the celebrity show
Gucci smiles for the monkey’s who know
That good intentions don’t dig out the holes
I never knew you had a heart
I never knew you’d make it start
Forget the fool forget that part
I’d rather say, I’d rather say you’re a star
You’re a star cant you see
It’s inside you and it’s free
It’s the answer to your dreams
You’re a star cant you see
It’s amazing when you breath
It’s the wake up call I need
You’re a star, shine on me
Where you are, I wanna’ be
Shoes, you don’t know why I’m walking in you
A thousand doves couldn’t carry me through
The one who knows is the one in this room
Freaks, freakshow logos wherever you walk
TV hosts write their own epitaphs
Public votes show the people have thought
I never knew you had a heart
I never knew you’d make it start
Forget the fool forget that part
I’d rather say, I’d rather say you’re a star
(Chorus)
Star
(Chorus)
You’re a star, shine on me
Where you are, we wanna’ be
You’re a star, shine on me
Where you are, I wanna’ be
BE MY SAVIOUR
Have you always been afraid of what the world can do
Were you always so afraid of what me and you can do to you
Be my saviour, Be my saviour, Be my saviour
It’s cool
Be my saviour, Be my saviour, Be my saviour
It’s cool
But it’s so true
Have you always been afraid of what you could do to you
Were you always so afraid of what the world can do to you
(Chorus)
I tried to imagine that a day could pass without you
I tried to imagine that a day could pass without you
Without you
Have you always been afraid of what the world can do
And were you always so afraid of what me and you could do to you
(Chorus)
THE WATER
I married a girl, I married the one that I want
I married a girl, I married the one that you were
If you could come out of the water, the water
If you could come out of the water, the water
The water, the water, with me
I married a boy, I married the boy that I want
I tried to belong, I held on with both feet at ground
If you could come out of the water, the water
If you could come out of the water, the water
If I could come into the water, the water
The water, the water, with you
And all that I want is you
And all that I need is you
And all that I want is to know that it’s you
I married a girl, a time for me heart to be stilled
I’ll slide in the storm, till I float to where I belong
(Repeat Chorus)
With you
And all that I want is you
And all that I need is you
And all that I want is to know that it’s true
I married a girl, I married the one that I want
I CAN I WILL
I can I will before the thrill
I can I will watch you be still
So what’s the world going on about
So what’s the world going on about
You can do that to me again
And we can be the king and queen of things
So what’s the world going on about
And he knows the nights
Like she knows the days
And he knows the nights
Like she knows the days
We’re just a blip a blot of sorts
And I have changed but stayed the same
So what’s the world going on about
So what’s the world going on about
(Chorus)
I can I will take home this thrill
And we will trip on Lemsip
So what’s the world going on about
So what’s the world going on about
(Repeat Chorus)
FAMOUS FOR BEING FAMOUS
Andy Warhol said
Don’t ever let me be alone, I wont let you be alone
Will you call me on the phone, I will call you on the phone
And I wanna be a wanna be so I’m never alone
But I need to be a liar if I’m gonna be taken seriously
Give me some attention please
I wanna be on the screen
I don’t see you alone you don’t call on the phone
You don’t need me you’re famous for being famous
I don’t see you alone you don’t call on the phone
You don’t need me you’re famous for being famous
Got the cover of ‘Hello’, but my friends all drop like stones
Got the nation on my station and my face is in your home
And I lie awake at night doing press-ups with my toes
Cause my body is my temple now I’m gonna be taken seriously
Give me some attention please
I wanna be on the screen
(Chorus)
‘Hello’ , ‘OK!’ ………
You’re in and you’re out and you’re up and you’re down…….
Got your records in my home, but the headline’s overblown
Got the nation on my station but my face is not my own
And I wanna be a wanna be so I’m never alone
But I need to be a liar if I’m gonna be taken seriously
(Chorus)
Citizen Fame.........
(Chorus)
CAMELOT REVISITED
I don’t know if you can see me if my love is blind
I made promises with the angels to catch your wings when you fall, if you fall
It don’t matter what you are
It don’t matter what you are
It’s better not to play
With swords or ashes when fires are burning
And Camelot is found
Put your body on my body to see what we can become
I said hold me close to the angels with their stories of war, in their hearts
(Chorus)
I can’t help the way that our lives’ keep repeating
I can’t help the way that our fate in the end never stops, it’s a clock
(I cant help the way that our lives’ keep repeating….)
But it don’t matter what you are
It don’t matter what you are
It’s better not to play
With swords or ashes if fires are burning
And fires are burning
But Camelot is found
Hold me closely feel my heartbeat let the blood flow through now
I saw the future bold as sky-scapes our love gets all that it deserves
I DON’T HAVE YOU TO ASK
I don’t have you to ask about the things that I need help about
I don’t have you to ask
I don’t have you to ask about the things that I need help about
I don’t have you to ask
And you’ll find in me the things you hoped for
And you’ll find in me the things you hoped you’d finally see
I don’t have you to ask about the things that I need help about
I don’t have you to ask
I’ve seen the door I’ve seen the door I’ve opened up and asked for more
I’ve found it out at last
And you’ll take from me what I have cared for
And you’ll finally see what you had hoped you’d find in me
I’m turning back
Now I know what to ask
My future self is back
Now I don’t have you to ask
It’s only life unfolding
But you always see what I am made for
And you will find in me what you had hoped you’d finally see
But I’m turning back
Now I know what you asked
My future self is back
Now I don’t have you to ask
I don’t have you to ask about the things that I need help about
I don’t have you to ask
I HAVE BEEN BURNED
You know it’s when anyone
Becomes that someone
You showed me that place again
And like the wind, yeah like the wind can ever be my friend
But I have been burned
I have been burned
By someone, who looks a little bit
Who talks a little bit like you
You floored me to the ground
But I grew again reborn and bound
For anything just to be the one
The one that turns you on
Cause where I’m standing is the background
(Chorus)
Like you, like you
Like you, like you
And we’ll go where other’s go……
I have been burned
I have been burned
By someone, by someone
I have been burned
By someone who looks a little bit
Who talks a little bit like you
STALKER
You have never seen the darkest side of me
So don’t try and limit me to what you think of me
And girls on magazines and cars on housing schemes
All blown to smithereens cause you tried to limit me, yeah
Too much ying and yang for me to understand
And supermarket tills all rigged with cosmetic pills
But you can’t de-face me cause I will always be
The guy who lives next door that paced on top of your floor, yeah
You can/can’t see me hiding round the back of your settee
I’m here with all the things that I cans end from peer to peer
Confused about my status in the world today
The cameras’ on the corner of our street it blinks
And somewhere there’s dummy with a screen that winks
Confused about my status in the world today
The cameras’ on the corner of our street it winks
And somewhere there’s a dummy on a screen
You have never seen the darkest side of me
So don’t try and limit me to what you think of me
And girls on magazines and cars on housing schemes
Yeah you and me we’re limited to what we’ve always been
I’m here and I’m your stalker
Let me through
I poured some wine for you yeah even though I knew
You’d never come around my spirits slowly drowned
I pictured all of you I stole your ID too
It’s all I need to be then you can’t limit me yeah
Watching you watching me
Why don’t you let me, why don’t you let me through
(Repeat)
FUTURE GODS AND PAST KINGS
Preacher why don’t you let me start a war
Preacher why don’t you love me anymore
I’ve been seeing things through different rims
I’ve been seeing things through different
Teacher why don’t you let me start a war
Please Sir why don’t you let me stand a flag
I’ve been seeing things through different rims
Preacher why don’t you let me start a war
Preacher why don’t you love me anymore
I’ve been seeing things through different rims
I’ve been seeing things through different rims
Future gods and past kings
Serial killers on the loose again
Future gods and past kings
Did you ever consider what could happen when
I lose control of my kindness
I was busy busy busy busy making repairs
To myself to myself to myself to my castle
Teacher why don’t you let me have a war
Please Sir why don’t you love me anymore
I’ve been seeing things through different rims
Please Sir why don’t you let me stand a flag
Please Sir why don’t you love me anymore
I’ve been seeing things through different rims
I’ve been seeing things through different rims
(Repeat Chorus)
Does anybody else feel free
Cause I don’t think you noticed me
I’m walking by the lakes again
I’m listening to the skies
This city’s got a hold of me
And cities live but we just breath
The future gods, past kings, didn’t know, didn’t care
What they did, what they’d bring
It’s not too late to burn our things
I’ve been seeing things through different rims
(Repeat Chorus)
FAITH NO. 2
Oh Lord my nose has already been broke
Oh Lord my house has already been robbed
So what’s the matter with you
What’s the matter with you
Who made you God?
Oh love my days are already a joke
Oh my love I’m just about ready to talk all about
What’s the matter with me
What’s the matter with me
It’s you
When I said, it’s almost impossible not to believe in a war
I meant, it’s almost impossible just to believe in you
You you you
It’s almost impossible not to be sold anymore
Oh Lord I’d bow to the lady with sanity clouds up above
My love let’s hold onto hope and let go of the hurt
And what’s the matter with me
No matter what’s the matter with me
I still need you
(Chorus)
It’s almost impossible not to be sold anymore..
And I’ll take the winding road
Why must we take the winding road, the road
I don’t say it’s over..
For you, for you
Oh Lord my nose has already been broke
PAY ATTENTION TO THE HUMAN
So what you gonna do now you’re dead
Don’t let go, they’ll hear your mouse click for support
They’ll hear your digital reports
They’ll know your blood is flowing cold
And here you are, you’re alive
Anything is possible
Cold hearts and souls
Your voice in tact your spirits bold
The camera’s flash, the light is red
The armchair’s wait to zap your head
And here you are, you’re alive
Anything is possible
In war
I want to love you
I want to know it’s you
I want to see you
I want to get you through
Pay attention to the human
Pay attention to the human
Force your soul
To hear their doubts and let them go
To hear their bombs and trigger’s flow
You’re in the their sights
Smile smile
And here you are, you’re alive
Anything is possible
In war
I want to love you
I want to know it’s you
I want to see you
I don’t want to die too soon!
Pay attention to the human..
(You know it’s, you know it’s wrong..)
In a front room, in a city
A family waits for pity
Don’t understand, don’t try to understand
Death of a scientist
Death of the salesman
Death of a culture
Death of a nation
You wake from the shadows
My little one, you’re old enough to know
You wake from the shadows
It’s funny how, it’s funny now
It’s funny how
That you were made in the digital age
That you were taken in the digital age
"We the people" they all say
But do they treat us thus?
Or are we units in a game they play
Men, Women, Black and White
Rich, Poor, Young, Old, Straight or Gay
Defined and safely filed away
For Pollsters, Salesmen and MPs
To be bought or bribed to make them rich
Or Enemies who must be killed
People are made of flesh and blood
with hearts and minds and hopes
and fears, and all just want a Life
Which we must nurture to survive.
We have the power to end the world
We have the power to save the world
The Choice is ours: It is a Moral Choice
To work together in both Peace and Love
We must break Free and be ourselves
There lies the hope for all the human race.
