Will Anybody Buy My Car

Will anybody buy my car?,
It's been around the clock,
But it's got four wheels and a spare type,
So will anybody buy my car?,
Or should I trade it in for Ferrous Wheel,
And spend half my time ascending to the stars,

Verse 1
Now I got to thinking, it must be some kind of habit,
That's got me rolling round inside my head,
And I just can't quite grab it,
It keeps teasing me with glimpses of what I wish convey,
But I find these words are not my friend,
And language just gets in my way,
Chorus
Oo-oo, a gear slip within my brain,
I got the window wipers working,
But they can't keep up with all this rain,
Oo-oo, it's impeeding on my sight,
When your mind is like a motor car,
Sometimes you don't like driving through the night,
Verse 2
It's like I'm driving in circles,
I'm repeating all my thoughts,
And then you think you're making progress,
But the sat nav tells you you are lost,
And when I finally feel I'm stumbling on the words,
I emerge from all the speed bumps,
And somehow I'm travelling in reverse,
Chorus
Bridge
In some clapped out banger,
But I'm saving up my money, before I hit one more disaster,
It's getting busy inside, yeah I'm steaming up the windows,
And I bet it looks real dodgy from the outside,

Verse 1
Work with me and make the pieces fit,
Let the units work together,
Keep it unified forever,
Sing with me and mean every little bit,
Where all note just work together,
A song people will sing forever,
Pre-chorus
Come inside, until the whole world's on my side,
Chorus
And we'll ride, and don't look back to yesterdays spent tears,
For tonight's the night all of the hatered disappears,
Now we enroll to everybody elses goal,
And hide our tears no more,
Verse 2
Cry with me, a loss can really hit,
Remember all the best together,
Don't let us forget forever,
Laugh with me, into a hysteric fit,
Although we don't get on together,
And the punchline wasn't all that cleaver,
Jeckle or Hyde?, would you just make up your mind,
Chorus

Verse 1
Do you remeber all the women that you've loved?,
Do they remember you as well?,
I bet you never thought as you were growing up,
That you would ever love so well,
Chorus
When did you open your mind?, x3
That you could truely love so well,
Verse 2
Is there a limit to the love that you can give?,
Is there a quota for the heart?,
Many sing about the pain an end to can bring,
But just for now let's sing about the start,
Chorus
Bridge
And when you feel incomplete,
It delivers a rush that near knocks you off your feet,
Then you will never know, you will never know,
How you ever felt incomplete,
Chorus

Verse
She emerged from the ashes of a four letter word,
Spoken so often but were never heard,
'It's time now' she feels,
As she drops to her knees and prays,
But she knows the answer in within her self,
She pulls herself together not asking for help,
A set back's a set back,
It can't stop you getting your way,
Pre-chorus
'Try to see what is best for me,
My new life is starting today,
If I can't be relied on, who can I rely on?
If this is some game then let's play!'
Chorus
Hey!, They say, Just walk away,
As they stand on the top of the world in the rain,
But then Hey!, We say, Don't walk away,
The party's just starting so come out and play with us now,
In the light, say goodbye to the dark of the night,
So join us now, Hey!, Stay, Don't walk away,
As we stand on the top of the world naked without the rain,
Verse 2
He emearged from the ashes of a fallen down world,
A place filled with anger where insults are hurled,
He sits down and reflects on a life that has now passed away,
He constantly grinning and can't stop himself,
Feels he should be crying but then would it help,
And in the confusion he thinks about things a new way,
Bridge 2
'Try to see this is best for me'
My new life is starting today,
So it may take some time, and a few minor crimes,
But things could be looking my way,

Verse 1
Recently it had been coming back to haunt me,
Sitting boxed up my room,
My faith was wearing thin, I did not have a clue,
Of where I could begin,
But then hope comes in unlikely forms,
And then hope comes and I feel reborn,
Chorus
And I feel I need this charity, x3
Even more,
Verse 2
Well that's the problem with feeling like a puppet,
When you have not got any strings,
But I'm a real boy yeah watch my little legs run,
Now I'm someone else's toy,
Because hope comes in unlikely forms,
And then hope comes and I feel reborn,
And then hope comes and it takes the strain,
And then hope comes and it dries the rain,
Chorus
Bridge
And kindness comes, in the form of strangers,

Verse 1
Focus upon these details which were from,
So long ago, I'm not sure if you know,
About my past, there are questions you have,
Yet to ask, about the...
Chorus
Days we placed our hopes on the stars above,
In the days we lost ourselves in forbidden loves, x2
Verse
My choice of words at this moment in time,
Has been disturbed, it never used to be like,
This, I preferred when things were simpler,
Just like I remember in the...
Chorus

Days fading into grey,
Here comes the rain, don't look up today,

Verse 1
Where did we go?
How did we find the route for us?
Well I do not know,
And if we don't know then no one does,
Chorus
Until we lie, the good is gone for ever,
Until we lie, the good is gone for good,
Until we cry, the good is gone for ever,
And we'll never say a word, until it's gone,
Verse 2
Fever runs high,
It's always the same the morning after,
I'm an idiot I haven't been sure,
And I will be even less sure after,
Chorus
Bridge
The flowers grow high, the sun's in the sky,
But I only have these stars in my eyes,
But I will be fine, once I have drunk enough,
To remember the events of the night,

Verse 1
My angel tried to tell me that I should cut my hair,
My angel always tells me to shave my facial hair,
My angel tried to teach me how people get along,
My angel really taught me, I shouldn’t have stayed so long,
Chorus 1
But what’s done is done,
And I try to hate you for the things that you’ve done,
And I try to hate you but I know it’s a losing cause,
And I try to hate you now,
Verse 2
My angel tried to tell me, “You can’t be everywhere”,
My angel tried to tell me she had no time to spare,
They say that angels come to save immortal souls,
My angel’s saving spirits; she’s in the boozing hole,
Chorus 2
And she stays all night long,
And I try to hate you for the things that you’ve done,
And I try to hate you but I know it’s a losing cause,
And I try to hate you now,
Bridge
My angel sent a message, saying it’s over and done,
My angel sent a message, asking can we get along,
My angel really isn’t, isn’t one to talk,
My angel really isn’t heavenly endorsed,
Chorus 1
But what’s done is done,
And I try to hate you for the things that you’ve done,
And I try to hate you but I know it’s a losing cause,
And I try to hate you now,
And I try to hate you for the things that you’ve done,
And I try to hate you but I know it’s a losing cause,
And I try to hate you now,

Verse 1
Paint a smile on my head,
Then take it back,
When it's time for us to go to bed,
Hold a candle to my face,
And blow it out,
When you're satisfied you've had a taste,
In the darkness you leave me in haste,
Someone tell me what have I done wrong?,
Chorus
If I show no signs of life am I not alive?,
If I show no signs of hate does it mean I love you?,
If I don't, don't communicate,
Does it mean I'm dumb?,
Verse 2
Drive me out in your car,
Then push me out,
After you have taken me so far,
Talk to me about my worries,
But don't say a word,
After the final alarm's be heard,
Like a singing licence for the birds,
Would someone tell me what is going on?
Chorus
Bridge
Do we lend a hand or is it supply and demand,
Can we bare to give anything away,
Down in Hollywood they say the atmosphere is good,
Just goes to show you can buy anything these days,
Chorus
