Live at Leeds

On top of the sky is a place where you go if you've done nothing wrong,

If you've done nothing wrong. 



And down in the ground is a place where you go if you've been a bad boy,

If you've been a bad boy.



Why can't we have eternal life,

And never die,

Never die? 



In the place up above you grow feather wings and you fly round and round,

With a harp singing hymns.



And down in the ground you grow horns and a tail and you carry a fork,

And burn away.



Why can't we have eternal life, And never die,



Never die?

Got a feeling inside (Can't explain)

It's a certain kind (Can't explain)

I feel hot and cold (Can't explain)

Yeah, down in my soul, yeah (Can't explain)



I said ... (Can't explain)

I'm feeling good now, yeah, but (Can't explain)



Dizzy in the head and I'm feeling blue

The things you've said, well, maybe they're true

I'm gettin' funny dreams again and again

I know what it means, but



Can't explain

I think it's love

Try to say it to you

When I feel blue



But I can't explain (Can't explain)

Yeah, hear what I'm saying, girl (Can't explain)



Dizzy in the head and I'm feeling bad

The things you've said have got me real mad

I'm gettin' funny dreams again and again

I know what it means but



Can't explain

I think it's love

Try to say it to you

When I feel blue



But I can't explain (Can't explain)

Forgive me one more time, now (Can't explain)



I said I can't explain, yeah

You drive me our ot my mind

Yeah, I'm the worrying kind, babe

I said I can't explain

Went to the fortune teller

To have my fortune read

I didn't what to tell her

I had a dizzy feeling in my head



Said she'd take a look at my palm

Said "Son do you feel kind of warm?"

And she looked into her crystal ball

Said "You're in love."



Said it could not be so,

Not with all the girls I know.

Said when the next one arrives

Looking into her eyes.



I left there in a hurry

Much to my big surprise

The next thing I discovered

The fortune teller told me lies



So I ran back to that woman

Mad as I could be

Told her I didn't see nobody

How she made a fool out of me



At last something shook me

As if it came down from above

And now the fortune teller

And I fell in love

Me and my brother were talking to each other

'Bout what makes a man a man

Was it brain or brawn, or the month you were born

We just couldn't understand



Our old man didn't like our appearance

He said that only women wear long hair



So me and my brother borrowed money from Mother

We knew what we had to do

We went downstairs, past the barber and gymnasium

And got our arms tattooed



Welcome to my life, tattoo

I'm a man now, thanks to you

I expect I'll regret you

But the skin graft man won't get you

You'l be there when I die

Tattoo



My dad beat me 'cause mine said "Mother"

But my mother naturally liked it and beat my brother

'Cause his tattoo was of a lady in the nude

And my mother thought that was extremely rude



Welcome to my life, tattoo

We've a long time together, me and you

I expect I'll regret you

But the skin graft man won't get you

You'll be there when I die

Tattoo



Now I'm older, I'm tattooed all over

My wife is tattooed too

A rooty-toot-toot, rooty-tooty-toot-toot

Rooty-toot-toot tattoo too

To you

Oh well a young man ain't got nothin' in the world these days

I said a young man ain't got nothin' in the world these days



You know in the old days

When a young man was a strong man

All the people they'd step back

When a young man walked by



But you know nowadays

It's the old man,

He's got all the money

And a young man ain't got nothin' in the world these days

I said nothing



Everybody knows that a young man ain't got nothin'.

Everybody!

Everybody knows that a young man ain't got nothin'

He got nothin'

Nothin'



Take it easy on the young man

They ain't got nothin' in the world these days

I said they ain't got nothin'!

They got sweet fuck-all!

You think we look pretty good together

You think my shoes are made of leather



But I'm a substitute for another guy

I look pretty tall but my heels are high

The simple things you see are all complicated

I look pretty young, but I'm just back-dated, yeah



Substitute your lies for fact

I can see right through your plastic mac

I look all white, but my dad was black

My fine looking suit is really made out of sack



I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth

The north side of my town faced east, and the east was facing south

And now you dare to look me in the eye

Those crocodile tears are what you cry

It's a genuine problem, you won't try

To work it out at all you just pass it by, pass it by



Substitute me for him

Substitute my coke for gin

Substitute you for my mum

At least I'll get my washing done

Happy Jack wasn't old, but he was a man

He lived in the sand at the Isle of Man

The kids would all sing, he would take the wrong key

So they rode on his head on their furry donkey



The kids couldn't hurt Jack

They tried and tried and tried

They dropped things on his back

And lied and lied and lied and lied and lied



But they couldn't stop Jack, or the waters lapping

And they couldn't prevent Jack from feeling happy



But they couldn't stop Jack, or the waters lapping

And they couldn't prevent Jack from feeling happy



The kids couldn't hurt Jack

They tried and tried and tried

They dropped things on his back

And lied and lied and lied and lied and lied



But they couldn't stop Jack, or the waters lapping

And they couldn't prevent Jack from feeling happy



(I saw ya!)

Well, I'm a-gonna raise a fuss,

I'm a-gonna raise a holler

About a-workin' all summer 

Just to try to earn a dollar

But every time I call my baby

Try'na get a date

My boss says, "No dice, son,

You gotta work a-late."

Sometimes I wonder what I'm a-gonna do

There ain't no cure for this summertime blues



Well, my mom 'n' poppa told me,

"Son, you gotta earn some money

If you wanna use the car

To go ridin' next Sunday."

Well, I didn't go to work,

Told the boss I was sick -

"Now you can't use the car

'Cos you didn't work a lick!"

Sometimes I wonder what I'm a-gonna do

There ain't no cure for this summertime blues



Well, I'm gonna take two weeks,

Gonna have a fine vacation,

I'm gonna take my problem

To the United Nations.

Well, I called my congress man

and he said - quote -,

"I'd like to help ya son

But ya're too young to vote"

Sometimes I wonder what I'm a-gonna do

There ain't no cure for this summertime blues

When you move in right up close to me

That's when I get the shakes all over me



Quivers down my backbone

I got the shakes in the knee bones

Shivers down my thigh bones

Like I'm

Shakin' all over



That's what happens when you say goodnight to me

Bring this feeling all inside of me

Quivers down my backbone

I got the shakes in the knee bones

Shivers in the thigh bones

Like I'm

Shakin' all over

People try to put us d-down (Talkin' 'bout my generation)

Just because we get around (Talkin' 'bout my generation)

Things they do look awful c-c-cold (Talkin' 'bout my generation)

I hope I die before I get old (Talkin' 'bout my generation)



This is my generation

This is my generation, baby



Why don't you all f-fade away (Talkin' 'bout my generation)

And don't try to dig what we all s-s-say (Talkin' 'bout my generation)

I'm not trying to cause a big s-s-sensation (Talkin' 'bout my generation)

I'm just talkin' 'bout my g-g-g-generation (Talkin' 'bout my generation)



This is my generation

This is my generation, baby



Why don't you all f-fade away (Talkin' 'bout my generation)

And don't try to d-dig what we all s-s-say (Talkin' 'bout my generation)

I'm not trying to cause a b-big s-s-sensation (Talkin' 'bout my generation)

I'm just talkin' 'bout my g-g-generation (Talkin' 'bout my generation)



This is my generation

This is my generation, baby



People try to put us d-down (Talkin' 'bout my generation)

Just because we g-g-get around (Talkin' 'bout my generation)

Things they do look awful c-c-cold (Talkin' 'bout my generation)

Yeah, I hope I die before I get old (Talkin' 'bout my generation)



This is my generation

This is my generation, baby

Every day I get in the queue (Too much, Magic Bus)

To get on the bus that takes me to you (Too much, Magic Bus)

I'm so nervous, I just sit and smile (Too much, Magic Bus)

You house is only another mile (Too much, Magic Bus)

I want it, I want it, I want it, I want it ... (You can't have it!)

Thruppence and sixpence every day

Just to drive to my baby

Thruppence and sixpence each day

'Cause I drive my baby every way

As I drive my baby in my Magic Bus (Too much, Magic Bus)
