closing in on empty spaces winners laugh too soon a paper world with paper faces beneath a paper moon there's a man, a real pacesetter coming after me and after him there's someone better and after him there's me he'll offer you a cigarette he'll offer you a light but he hasn't finished with you yet on another long, knife night so look behind you there's the man you're chasing look behind you let's go human racing human racing let's go racing now open arms and open purses open season's here fill your heads with clever verses and then they disappear silent vows in secret places they'll get you somehow cos you never win in human races so who's the loser now look behind you there's the man you're casing look behind you let's go human racing human racing let's go racing now

i got two strong arms blessings of babylon with time to carry on and try for sins and false alarms so to america the brave wise men save [chorus] near a tree by a river there's a hole in the ground where an old man of aran goes around and around and his mind is a beacon in the veil of the night for a strange kind of fashion there's a wrong and a right but he'll never, never fight over you i got plans for us nights in the scullery and days instead of me i only know what to discuss of for anything but light wise men fighting over you it's not me you see pieces of valentine with just a song of mine to keep from burning history seasons of gasoline and gold wise men fold [chorus repeat] i got time to kill sly looks in corridors without a plan of yours a blackbird sings on bluebird hill thanks to the calling of the wild wise mens child

Wouldn't It Be Good - Nik Kershaw I got it bad You don't know how bad I got it You got it easy You don't know when you got it good It's getting harder Just keeping life and soul together I'm sick of fighting Even though I know I should The cold is biting Through each and every nerve and fibre My broken spirit is frozen to the core Don't wanna be here no more Wouldn't it be good to be in your shoes Even if it was for just one day And wouldn't it be good if we could wish ourselves away Wouldn't it be good to be on your side The grass is always greener over there Wouldn't it be good if we cold live without a care You must be joking You don't know a thing about it You've got no problem I'd stay right there if it were you I got it harder You couldn't dream how hard it got it Stay out of my shoes If you know what's good for you The heat is stifling Burning me up from the inside The sweat is coming through each and every pore Don't wanna be here no more Wouldn't it be good to be in your shoes Even if it was just for one day And wouldn't it be good if we could wish ourselves away Wouldn't it be good to be on your side The grass is always greener over there And wouldn't it be good if we could live without a care
