The Masterplan Lyrics

ACQUIESCE

I don't know what it is
That makes me feel alive
I don't know how to wake
The things that sleep inside
I only wanna see the light
That shines behind your eyes

I hope that I can say
The things I wish I'd said
To sing my soul to sleep
And take me back to bed
You want to be alone
When we could be alive instead

Because we need each other
We believe in one another
And I know we're going to uncover
What's sleepin' in our soul
Because we need each other
We believe in one another
(And) I know we're going to uncover
What's sleepin' in our soul
What's sleepin' in our soul

There are many things
That I would like to know
And there are many places
That I wish to go
But everything's depending
On the way the wind may blow
I don't know what it is
That makes me feel alive
I don't know how to wake
The things that sleep inside
I only wanna see the light
That shines behind your eyes

What's sleepin' in our soul
What's sleepin' in our soul
'Cause we believe
'Cause we believe
Yeah, we believe
'Cause we believe
'Cause we believe
'Cause we believe
Because we need
Because we need

UNDERNEATH THE SKY

Underneath the sky of red
there's a story teller sleeping alone
He has no face and he has no name
and his where a bouts are sort of unknown

All he needs is his life in a suitcase
it belongs to a friend of a friend
and as we drink to our selves we'll amuse our selves
underneath the sky
underneath the sky again
underneath the sky again

So wish me away to an unknown place
I'm living in a land with no name
I'll be making a start with my band new heart
Stop me making sense once again

All we need is our lives in a suitcase
They belong to a friend of a friend
and as we drink to our selves we'll amuse our selves
underneath the sky
underneath the sky again
underneath the sky again

TALK TONIGHT

Sittin' on my own
Chewin' on a bone
A thousand million
Miles from home
When Something hit me
Somewhere right between the eyes

Sleepin' on a plane
You know you can't complain
You took your last chance
Once again
I landed, stranded
Hardly even knew your name

I wanna talk tonight
Until the mornin' light
'Bout how you saved my life
You and me see how we are
You and me see how we are

All your dreams are made
Of Strawberry lemonade
And you make sure
I eat today
You take me walking
To where you played
When you were young

I'll never say that I
Won't ever make you cry
And this I'll say
I don't know why
I know I'm leavin'
But I'll be back another day

I wanna talk tonight
Until the mornin' light
'Bout how you saved my life
(You saved my life)
I wanna talk tonight
(I wanna talk tonight)
'Bout how you saved my life
(I wanna talk tonight)
'Bout how you saved my life
(I wanna talk tonight)
'Bout how you saved my life
(I wanna talk tonight)
'Bout how you saved my life

GOING NOWHERE

Hate the way you've taken back everything you've given to me
And the way that you'd always say it's nothing to do with me
different versions of many men come before you came
All their questions were similar the answers just the same

Gonna get me a motor car maybe a jaguar maybe a plane or a day of rein
Gonna be a millionaire so can you take me there wanna be wild cos my lives so tame
Here am I going nowhere on a train
Here am I growing older in my rein
Here am I going nowhere on a train
Here am I getting lost and lonely sad and only worse sometimes does my life feel so tame

FADE AWAY

When I was young
I thought I had my own key
I knew exactly what I wanted to be
Now I'm sure
You've boarded up every door

Lived in a bubble
Days were never ending
Was not concerned
About what life was sending
Fantasy was real
Now I know much
About the way I feel

I'll paint you the picture
'Cause I don't think you live round here no more
I've never even seen
The key to the door
We only get what we will settle for

While we're living
The dreams we have as children
Fade away
While we're living
The dreams we have as children
Fade away
While we're living
The dreams we have as children
Fade away, away, away
They fade away, away, away

Now my life has turned
Another corner
I think it's only best
That I should warn you
Dream it while you can
Maybe someday
I'll make you understand

I'll paint you the picture
'Cause I don't think you live round here no more
I've never even seen
The key to the door
We only get what we will settle for

While we're living
The dreams we have as children
Fade away
While we're living
The dreams we have as children
Fade away
While we're living
The dreams we have as children
Fade away
They fade away, away, away
Fade away, away, away

I AM THE WALRUS

I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together
See how they run like pigs from the gun, see how they fly, I'm cryin'
Sitting on a cornflake, I'm waiting for the van to come
Corporation t-shirts, stupid bloody Tuesday, man, you've been a naughty
boy, you let your face grow long
I am the eggman, we are the eggmen,
I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob

Mister City Policeman sitting, pretty little policemen in a row
See how they fly like Lucy in the Sky, see how they run, I'm cryin'
I'm cry......, I'm cryin', I'm cry........

Yellow matter custard, dripping from a dead dog's eye
Crabalocker fish wife, pornographic priestress, man you've been a
naughty girl you let your knickers down
I am the eggman, we are the eggmen, I am the walrus,
goo goo g' joob, g' goo goo g' joob

Sitting in an English garden waiting for the sun
If the sun don't come you get your tan from standing in the english rain
I am the eggman, we are the eggmen, I am the walrus
goo goo g' joob, g' goo goo g' joob

Experts textperts choking smokers, don't you think the joker laughs at you
See how they spy like pigs in the sky, see how they snide, I'm cryin'
Semolina Pilchard, climbing up the Eiffel Tower
Element'ry penguins singing Hare Krishna, man, you should've seen him
kicking Edgar Allen Poe
I am the eggman, we are the eggmen, I am the walrus
goo goo g' joob, g' goo goo g' joob
goo goo g' joob, g' goo goo g' joob
g' goo...
A du-du-du baw, a du-du-du baw, a du-du-du baw, a du-du-du baw,
a du-du-du baw

LISTEN UP

Listen up
What's the time said today
I'm gonna speak my mind
Take me up
To the top of the world
I wanna see my crime

Day by day
There's a man in a suit
Who's gonna make you pay
For the thoughts
That you think and the words
They won't let you say

One fine day
Gonna leave you all behind
It wouldn't be so bad
If I had more time

Sailing down a river alone
I've been trying to find
My way back home
But I don't believe in magic
Life is automatic But I don't mind being on my own
No, I don't mind being on my own

(Repeat from top)

Sailing down a river alone
I've been trying to find
My way back home
But I don't believe in magic
Life is automatic
But I don't mind being on my own
I said that I don't mind
Being on my own
No, I don't mind being on my own
I said I don't mind being on my own

ROCKIN CHAIR

I'm older than I'd wish to be
This town hold no more for me
All my life I try to find another way
I don't care for your attitude
You bring me down I think you're rude
All my life I try to make a better day

It's hard enough being alone
Sitting here by the phone
Waiting for my memories
To come and play

It's hard enough sitting there
Rockin' in your rockin' chair
It's all too much to take
When you're not there

HALF THE WORLD AWAY

I would like to leave this city
This old town don't smell too pretty and
I can feel the warning signs running around my mind
And when I leave this island I'll book myself into a soul asylum
And I can feel the warning signs running around my mind

So here I go still scratching around the same old hole
My body feels young but my mind is very old
So what do you say?
You can't give me the dreams that are mine anyway
You're half the world away
Half the world away
Half the world away
I've been lost I've been found but I don't feel down.

So here I go still scratching around in the same old hole
My body feels young but my mind if very old
So what do you say?
You can't give me the dreams that are mine anyway
You're half the world away
Half the world away
Half the world away
I've been lost I've been found but I don't feel down

(IT"S GOOD) TO BE FREE

Head like a rock spinning round and round
I found it in a hole sitting upside down
You point the finger at me but I don't believe
Paint me a wish on a velvet sky
You demand the answers but I don't know why in my mind
There is no time

But the little things they make me so happy
All I want to do is live by the sea
Little things they make me so happy
But it's good it's good it's good to be free

So what would you say if I said to you
It's not in what you say it's in what you do
You point the finger at me but I don't believe
Bring it on home to where we found
My head like a rock sitting upside down
In my mind there is no time

But the little things they make me so happy
All I want to do is live by the sea
Little things they make me so happy
But it's good it's good it's good to be free

STAY YOUNG

Wrong way out is all your ever gonna get from
those who have their mouths, don't ever let it upset you
'cause they put words into your mouths
They're making you feel so ashamed
They're making you take all the blame
They're making you cold in the night
They're making you question your heart and your soul
and the thing that is not quite right

Hey! stay young and invincible
'cause we know just what we are
come why me? were unstoppable
'cause we know just what we are
yeah we know just what we are
yeah we know just what we are

Feed your head with all the things you need when your hungry
stay in bed and sleep all day as long as it's sunny
'cause they'll put words into my mouth
They're making me feel so ashamed
They're making me take all the blame
They're making me cold in the night
They're making me question your heart and your soul
and the thing that is not quite right

Hey! stay young and invincible
'cause we know just what we are
'cor why me? were unstoppable
'cause we know just what we are
yeah we know just what we are
yeah we know just what we are

Hey! stay young and invincible
'cause we know just what we are
'cor why me? were unstoppable
'cause we know just what we are

Hey! stay young and invincible
'cause we know just what we are
'cor why me? my face, unshrinkable
'cause we know just what we are

'cause we know just what we are
'cause we know just what we are
'cause we know just what we are
'cause we know just what we are

know just what we are
know just what we are
know just what we are
know just what we are

HEADSHRINKER

I know a girl who's lost and lonely
Sits by the phone on her own
But the phone don't ring
And the birds don't sing in her tree
She lost herself in a haze of pity
And doesn't know where to run
Needs a headshrinker now
And I think its time we had some fun

Lost in a fog
Up a tree like a dog
And I'm out of here
I got no name
And I feel no shame
And I got no fear
And I bow down
To the tears of a clown
Whatever's going down
Is coming around
I hope you don't regret today
For the rest of your lives

For the rest of your lives
For the rest of your lives
For the rest of your lives

THE MASTERPLAN

Take the time to make some sense
Of what you want to say
And cast your words away upon the waves
Bring them back with Acquiesce
On a ship of hope today
And as they fall upon the shore
Tell them not to fear no more
Say it loud and sing it proud
And they...

Will dance if they want to dance
Please brother take a chance
You know they're gonna go
Which way they wanna go
All we know is that we don't know --
What is gonna be
Please brother let it be
Life on the other hand won't let you understand
Why we're all part of the masterplan

I'm not saying right is wrong
It's up to us to make
The best of all things that come our way
And all the things that came have past
The answer's in the looking glass
There's four and twenty million doors
Down life's endless corridor
Say it loud and sing it proud
And they...
