U.S Mods “From The Free World” Lyrics
Nick Of Time
State side we have a lot of fun
Yeah we’ve got some crime
And a little starvation
But all in all we’re all fat
And doin’ fine
And from the free world
We can only guess
Why the rest of the planet’s
Always stuck in such a big mess
Revolution and famine
Happen all the time
In the nick of time
Lady Liberty drew my number
In the nick of time
Uncle Sam is jammin’ down in old Manhattan
On the Hudson Line
It’s over priced when it’s American made
Except for great entertainment
What do you think about that Live Aid
So many people singing for the latest cause
The Government tells us just what to buy
They’ve got a tax on thinking and a tax on the sky
And I don’t wanna pay
Don’t wanna work that hard
In the nick of time
Lady Liberty drew my number
In the nick of time
When the band is jammin’
I know this feeling’s gonna make it fine
Hey! You’re so lucky you were born over here
In the wild west the next to last frontier
Where a man’s a man judged by his brand of beer
Ocean Of Land
There’s an ocean of land between me and my baby
And all I have is a riverboat
As soon as I can I’ll join the dry land Navy
But all I have is a river boat
I’ll save and save and save every penny
I’ll save and save and save every penny
I’ll save and save and save every penny
‘Till I buy me an ocean boat
And when my ship comes in
I’ll be there underneath the sun
I won’t have time to talk
Chit-chat with anyone
You’ll see my face in every magazine
I’ll sing with vibrance
when you talk with green yeah
She’ll be waiting hankerchief in her hand
Wondering when I’ll be back to her
I don’t know if I’ll ever get there
I don’t know if I’ll cross that sea
Maybe baby I may go crazy
Maybe baby I may go crazy
Maybe baby I may go crazy
Wondering when you’ll be back to me
And when my ship comes in
I’ll be there underneath the sun
I won’t have time to talk
Chit-chat with anyone
You’ll see my face in every magazine
I’ll sing with vibrance
When you talk with green yeah
Talk with green yeah
There’s an ocean of land yeah
An ocean of land between me and my baby
No One On My Mind
Some of my friends
Say I’m holding on to the past too long
But I’ve made amends
And I’m ready now to prove they’re wrong
I’ve got no one on my mind
I’ve got no one on my mind
Yes it’s true
That I let her cut me much too deeply
But Doctor Time
Has finally found a cure to heal me
I’ve got no one on my mind
I’ve got no one on my mind
No one on my mind
To all of my friends
Who think I’m holding on to the past too long
I’ve made changes
I’m ready to show you all
I’ve got no one on my mind
I’ve got no one on my mind
No one on my mind
You can look very close and you will find
In the deepest caverns of all time
I’ve got no one on my mind
Thank you Doctor Time
No one’s on my mind
A Million Tears
Always think of the summer
Never think of the rain
It’s always better to ponder the pleasures
Forgetting the pain
Some people live in their sorrows
Others live in their dreams
It’s just as bad as you make it
As bad as it seems
Don’t believe in yesterday
You can’t find it anyway
Let those memories always stay
A million tears away
A million tears away
Yeah you can cry if you want to
And keep on hanging on
You’ve seen the last of your well-kept past
So you’d better move on
And don’t go thinking of troubles
And what you might have done
Just remember the Spring in December
You’re always that young
Don’t believe in yesterday
You can’t find it anyway
Let those memories always stay
A million tears away
A million tears away
Good Shoes
When was the last time you went out
And really did up the town
It sounds like the same old story
Domestic life let you down
It’s easy to let yourself fall
It’s the same old routine
Day in and day out no stopping
It’s time you blow off some steam
It’s time you go out and have some fun
Go down to the beach and catch some sun
It’s time that you show the world
That you’re still kicking
(Put on put on) put on your good shoes
(Put on put on) put on your dress too
(Put on put on) we’re going to a party
You can’t be late now
(Put on put on) put on your good shoes
I’ve made all the reservations
At all the best clubs in town
We’re dining at half past seven
I’m buying the whole bar a round
You always get so excited
You always get so amused
I’m dancing with everybody
You’ve got to kick off your blues
It’s time you go out and have some fun
Go down to the beach and catch some sun
It’s time that you show the world
That you’re still kicking
(Put on put on) put on your good shoes
(Put on put on) put on your dress too
(Put on put on) we’re going to a party
You can’t be late now
(Put on put on) put on your good shoes
Lights Of Love
Some days I’m heavy some days I’m not
Some nights I party some nights a lot
Sometimes I’m working in the night and day
Other times I just sit around and play
But nothing ever gets me down
Not while I got you around
I’m trying not to let myself get confused (over you)
But sometimes it just seems like I’m being used (I can’t get through)
Can’t let that girl get underneath my skin (she can’t get in)
When that happens that’s when the trouble begins
But nothing ever gets me down
Not while I got you around
And I’m looking
Looking in the lights of love
And looking in her eyes above
Now baby who you thinking of
When you’re looking in the lights of love
Some days I’m in it some days I’m not (sometimes everything’s cool)
Some nights I party some nights a lot (sounds good let’s have a brew)
Sometimes I’m working in the night and day (working hard no fun at school)
Other times I just sit around and play play play
But nothing ever gets me down
Not while I got you around
And I’m looking
Looking in the lights of love
And looking in her eyes above
Now baby who you thinking of
When you’re looking in the lights of love
Lights of love
Lights of love
Who Knows (where my baby is)
Who knows where my baby is
She left without a warning
I called her house this morning
But she wasn’t there
Who knows where my baby is
I don’t know why she’s leaving me
Maybe my mind’s deceiving me
Why would she leave
I can’t find a remedy
It’s not the same without her
My life’s a calamity
It’s not the same without my girl
Who knows where my baby’s gone
It seems like she’s been gone so long
What did I say that was so wrong
Why won’t she call
Well maybe one day I’ll run into her
She’ll be all dressed up but I’ll
See right through her
Before she gets a chance I’ll kiss her
And go the other way
I can’t find a remedy
It’s not the same without her
My life’s a calamity
It’s not the same without my girl
Who knows where my baby is
Who knows where my baby is
Who knows where she is
There she is
There she is
View From Another World
Nothing like you has ever opened my door before
Nothing like you has ever given me more
Every time I see you
Suddenly I’m out in space
Looking down all around I see your face
And as the future will unfurl
The sun keeps turning ‘round this world
But now I see it through you girl
A view from another world
Nothing like this has ever opened my eyes this way
Nothing like this has ever begged me to stay
Sometimes memories have a funny way of haunting me
I turn around and I see you in my mind
And as the future will unfurl
The sun keeps turning ‘round this world
But now I see it through you girl
A view from another world
A view from another world
A view from another world
Jill you gave me a view from another
Yeah you gave me a view from another world
Touchdance
I like what I see
And she’s looking at me
She’s makin’ it clear
Her lips in my ear
She wants me to dance
I’m pulling away
She knows what she wants
I know what they say
She does the touchdance
She does the touchdance
Oh she’s dancin’ to me
Oh she sees right through me
I’m trying not to lose my senses
She’s breakin’ down all my defenses
She’s lookin’ for a new attraction
And guaranteeing satisfaction
She’s pulling me under
I’m losin’ my breath
I see lightning and thunder
There’s pleasure in death
Do the touchdance
Do the touchdance
Oh I must be dreaming
Oh her lips are steaming
I can’t seem to regain control
She’s making use of all the holes
She must be bad to be this good
But I’m doing what any man would
She does the touchdance
She does the touchdance
She does the touchdance
She does the touchdance yeah
She Said
Baby don’t you wait too long
She said hey
Baby don’t you wait too long
Give me a call
She said
Bloods been spillin’ out on our lawn too long
She said hey
Baby don’t you wait too long
Give me a call
She said
Give me a call
She said
He’ll kill us all
Raygun (getting’ too strong)
Raygun’s getting’ way too strong
Raygun’s getting’ way too strong
We’ve got blood
Blood’s been spillin’ out on our lawn too long
She said Hey
Raygun’s getting’ way too strong
He’ll kill us all
She said
He’ll kill us all
She said
He’ll kill us all
He got the invitation yeah yeah
Come down and save our nation yeah yeah
Look who you got movin’ into your neighborhood
We train the Sandinista’s yeah yeah
And blame the communista’s yeah yeah
We got those green beretra’s painting the contra crew
In colors red white and blue
Raygun’s getting’ way too strong
Raygun’s getting’ way too strong
Blood’s been spillin’ out on our lawn too long
Raygun’s getting’ way too strong
He’ll kill us all
Yeah Raygun’s getting’ stronger while the country’s getting’ weak
And we’d better keep our cool because the missle’s seeking heat
And if we’re playing with the fire
Then we’re surely gonna burn
And we can dance until we’re leveled
But we’re never gonna learn
Raygun’s getting’ way too strong
Raygun’s getting’ way too strong
Blood’s still spillin’ out on our lawn too long
Raygun’s getting’ way too strong
He’ll kill us all
