Live it for today Live it for today Live it for today Live it for today Year Of The Rat Refugee crisis Legalised land grab Black Lives Matter One woman action Extinction Rebellion Seventy thousand badgers Hey Hey Hey Hey We can't wait forever There's no time for never When we see the pain Will we make it right again? Feel the spirit rising Breaking through the compromising Make it simple, make it true For the many and for you Hey Hey Hey Hey Live it for today Live it for today Live it for today Live it for today

Cars 04:07
On the Andalucian Plain In the south of Spain Sierra Nevada Red sky of Granada Paint your body there Eat the Moorish air We'll drive, We'll drive We'll drive, We'll drive CHORUS: 'Cos I can see cars driving in your glasses I can see cars driving in your glasses I can see cars driving in your glasses I can see cars driving in your glasses Eat a prickly pear In a post-Franco square Esta muerto? Esta muerto? Is he really dead? Bash your feet against the ground In the Andalucian sound [CHORUS] Feel the scar upon the soil Thousand trees of olive oil Say no to OTAN NATO away Tacos and raciones Get your dish of the day [CHORUS]

See you in the morning Waking from the sweetest dream Sun is shining brightly Feeling very fine Take a walk for breakfast Feel the warmth upon my skin Sun is shining brightly Feeling very fine How good to feel The day growing strongly The sea stretching forth Beyond the silky waves How good to taste The air in the evening How good to say I'm feeling very fine Feeling very fine Feeling very fine Back to the garden Lying by our favourite tree Living is easy When you let it be Sharing a coffee Talking now about the day Loving that feeling As it comes our way How good to see The moon rising slowly The stars all a glimmer Above the milky way How good to feel Hearts that are glowing How good to say I'm feeling very fine Feeling very fine Feeling very fine Feeling very fine

We slept in a cheap hotel Just when the violence fell In a bar they called the “El Loco” Boris was headman there Wore leather with smoothed back hair Said he was born in Acapulco How a Russian man could stand Like a Mexican in the sand Worried us no more than a poco CHORUS: We walked through the darkest avenue Till a door came in light There we saw crazy dancers by the score In the Fiesta d'Amor In the Fiesta d'Amor We danced the blood-red night Lit by a magic light The girls were all enchanters The smell was strong and sweet With music in our feet We thought nothing could harm us Then on the bar we saw A man with a fat cigar Waving a gun that alarmed us [CHORUS] The girls fell to the floor The man with the fat cigar Told us he's here to charge us We paid him all we had In Pesos and in cash Bullets they flew all around us Then Boris he walked in Dressed up in black satin Saying “Amigos, I'll sort it” He took his gun right out And laid the big man flat As the money flew we all caught it [CHORUS]

Amy 04:52
Amy, I didn't know you, didn't show you What a good time could be And Amy, when you left me, I could never match your luxury And all the time I saw you grow I didn't know you were still a boy Your pretty dress and golden hair Your ballet classes and manicure Your sultry lips and snow-white hands Caressed a dream I could not understand When you took up with a man I felt the pangs of jealousy CHORUS: Amy, I didn't know you, didn't show you What a good time could be And Amy, when you left me, I could never match your luxury One day you left this town behind To live a life of extravagance I followed down to find you there In places I could not be comfortable Your friends were rich and very plush They met your taste for elegance I could not match this life at all Signing each week on the dole [CHORUS] And all the time I saw you grow I didn't know you were still a boy Your pretty dress and golden hair Your ballet classes and manicure Your sultry lips and snow-white hands Caressed a dream I could not understand When you took up with a man I felt the pangs of jealousy [CHORUS]

Saw a girlfriend in the market boulevard Buying shoes for a party late tonight Bought her coffee in the street cafe next door Looked so lovely that I had to ask for more “Too darn rude”, she say, “Too darn rude” “Too darn rude”, she say, “Too darn rude” Later dancing in a place with my good friends Saw a girlfriend looking great again Got to talking with her at the bar Said I'd love to but, I know, I went too far “Too darn rude”, she say, “Too darn rude” “Too darn rude”, she say, “Too darn rude” I was walking in the park today Saw a girlfriend she came my way Got to talking where the children play Tried to kiss her, but I know that's not the way “Too darn rude”, she say, “Too darn rude” “Too darn rude”, she say, “Too darn rude” My sister told me: Never push it Respect must always stay My mother whispered: Son, be patient Let her show the way, let her show the way Got to thinking that very night Would I ever get things right? Then a girlfriend she came to me, Loved me down from ten till three! “Too darn rude”, I say, “Too darn rude” “Too darn rude”, I say, “Too darn rude” “Too darn rude”, I say, “You're too darn rude” “Too darn rude”, I say, “But I like it that way”

There's a risk of scaring the horses Sweet Zombie Horse Sweet Zombie Horse Sweet Zombie Horse Sweet Zombie Horse Neigh neigh neigh Where do you ride? Where do you ride? Where do you hide? Where do you hide? Neigh neigh neigh How swift you fly Above our skies Your equine wings Beyond all things Neigh neigh neigh A magic mane A flying tail Eyes ablaze The astral trail Neigh neigh neigh Sweet zombie horse Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo Neigh neigh neigh Don't be frightened Here come the dollies
