OUTSIDER - ROGER TAYLOR

Testi tratti da genius.com

1.Tides

The only whisper is the wind
The only motion is the wave
The only constant is the change
And all I’m left with is the tide

That tells me all the things must live
Some day must die

The only thing to cling to is the hope
The constant movement holds the key
My only friend now is the tide
The constant change you can rely
To tell you all the ones you love
Some day must die

My only friend now is the tide
My only friend now is the tide
My only friend now
(My only friend now)
(My only friend now)

2. I Know, I Know, I Know

know, I know, I know
I know, I know
I've been bad

I know, I know, I know
I know, I know
I made you sad

How many times
Have I wondered
Lost my way
How many chances
Have I squandered
And stumbled
And strayed

I know, I know, I know
I know, I know
Didn't mean to make you cry
I know, I know, I know
I know, I know
With no good reason why

How many times
Have I let you down
How many nights
Have I failed you
And left you to drown

I know, I know, I know
I know, I know
I've been such a freak
I know, I know, I know
I know, I know
Get me to be so clean

How many times
Did I make excuses and lie
And how many times
Did you tell me
That's just how
The faintdom dies (fate-hood?)

I know, I know, I know
I know, I know
What can I say
It's the hardest word anyway

[Outro]
I know, I know, I know
I know, I know

I know, I know, I know
I know, I know

3. More Kicks (Long Day’s Journey into Night… Life)


[Verse 1]
I was looking for trouble
I wasn't looking for a wife
I wasn't looking for an answer
To the meaning of life

[Verse 2]
I was young and stupid
I didn't feel no pain
I was looking for trouble
I didn't feel no shame
[Verse 2 Tag:]
I was heading for a long day's journey
In the night - light-
I wanted more kicks

[Verse 3]
I was looking for a party
I was looking for fun
I was headed for disaster
I was the song of a gun

[Verse 4]
I was young and stupid
I didn't feel no pain

"life":
I wanted more kids

4. Absolute Anything

Ahhhhh
Anything
Ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh
Anything

Absolutely anything
And everything is true
Mad and bad and funny things
All there for me and you

Ahhhhh
Anything
Ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh
Anything

Absolutely anything
For you

I would give you everything
It's in my power to do
Shiny pointy funny things
A thousand pairs of shoes

Ahhhhh
Anything
Ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh
Anything


5. Gangsters are running this world

There's blood on the streets
Panic in the air

The markets are trading up
In madness and fear
As I lay on my bed
Mind’s trying to rest
There's a whole heap of worry
Pushing down on my chest

Gangsters are running this world
You can shout but never be heard
Gangsters are running this world

We all need a reason
To be alive and wonder
The smell of the coffee and bread
The sound of the rain and the thunder
The mist in the frozen fields
The thrill of the race
The sweet pain of your first love lost
The sun on your face
(All the while)

Gangsters are running this world
We're all just sheep in the herd
Gangsters are running this world

I wanna fly on the wings of love
I want the clean, fresh air in my face
I wanna tear down every border and wall
I wanna take part in the human race
I wanna fly on the wings of love
I wanna run down a path of hope
I wanna fly on the wings of love

Gangsters are running this world
You can shout but never be heard
Gangsters are running this world

(All the while)
Gangsters are running this world

6. We're all just trying to get by

Through the airports and train stations
Of the multiplex of nations
All the creatures of creation
All the fishes and crustaceans
To satisfy their sense of station
Through the rules and regulations
And just get by

We're all just trying to get by
We're all just trying to get by
We're all just trying to survive

All the time ants in the sand
All the insects in the land
All the wildlife on the plain
Jungle plants expecting rain
All are playing the same game
In the struggle to remain
And just get by

[Chorus 2]
We're all trying to get by
We're all just trying to get by
We're all just trying to survive

7. Gangsters running this world (purple version)
  
[Intro]
Oooh-oh

[Verse 1]
Wake up, you boys
Shape up, you girls
Are you aware
There's gangsters running this world

[Chorus]
(Gangsters)
Are running this world
(Gangsters)
Are running this world
(Gangsters)
(There's gangsters running this world)

[Verse 2]
Stand up and fight
You have no rights
They own you whole
They own your soul

[Chorus]
(Gangsters)
Are running this world
(Gangsters)
Are running this world
(Gangsters)
Gangsters running this world

8. Isolation

So here we sit, in isolation
We calm our fears, we're marking time
An endless tide, of information
We find our feet, we're doing fine
Just fill your day, in isolation
It's everyone, in every home
It's every man of every station
We change our ways, we're doing fine

[Chorus]
Strange times indeed
Strange times indeed
Strange times indeed

[Verse 2]
And every child, does what they can
In every house, in every land
So settle back and see it through
When this all ends, we'll think anew

[Chorus]
Strange times indeed
Strange times indeed
Strange times indeed

9. The clapping Song

3, 6, 9
The goose drank wine
The monkey chewed tobacco
On the streetcar line
The line broke
The monkey got choked
They all went to heaven
In a little row-boat

[Chorus 1]
Clap-Pat
- Peace in America!
Clap pat
- Peace to the world!
Clap-Pat
Clap;
Slap

[Verses 2]
My mother told me
If I was good
That she would buy me
A rubber dolly

My aunty told her
I kissed a soldier
Now she won't buy me
A rubber dolly
Hands!

[Chorus 2]
Clap-clap
- Clap your hands and prepare to pat
Pat
- Take your right arm
Clap
- Take your partner's right palm with your right palm
Pat
Clap
Pat
Clap;
Slap

[Bridge]
Takе the pats of your palms
And slap with your thighs
And watch the fun materializе
As you sing this little song

[Verses 2 repeat]
My mother told me
If I was good
That she would buy me
A rubber dolly

My aunty told her
I kissed a soldier
Now she won't buy me
A rubber dolly

10. Outsider 

In time of worry
when life is tought
The World's gettin to you
And you've had enough
Time to stand up tall
And lock 'em in the eye
Sometimes my friend, it's do or die

File like i'm always on the outside looking in
Kick the door wide open
Time you must decide
Walk right in and smoke 'em
My friend it's time to win

There's a killer that's twice your size
Always bugging you in class
Walking home from school
He's hiding in the glass

Or he's waiting with his friends
With an ill-intentioned grin
You better makе your mind-up;
It's time to win

Feel like I'm always on the outsidе looking-in
Don't stop to think it over
In time, you must decide
The devil is on your shoulder
My friend, it's time to win

Feels like I'm always on the outside looking-in
Feel like I'm always on the outside looking-in
Feels like I'm always on the outside looking-in
Maybe this time
You'll win

11. Foreing Sand (english Mix)

Why do we fear what we don't understand
Can't we reach out our hand to try just say 'hello'
Try to plant a seed, fulfill the need to make it grow, just say hello
And when you're far from home try to learn from all you see
Your eyes will tell you everything you need

Why do we dread what we really don't know
Come not as concubine, come not as foe
Come with intentions clearly shown
Try to plant a seed, fulfill the need to make it grow, just say hello
And though you're far from home try to learn from all you see
Your mind will tell you everything you need, everything you need

Here we go ain't it grand
Here we stand on foreign sand
And we're not alone

Red, yellow, black and white
Every man stand in the light, stand not alone

And though you're far from home try to learn what you could be
Your heart will tell you everything you need

Your heart will tell you everything you need


12. Journey's End

In my life I’ve always dreamed
In my dreams I live to fly
And when I fly, I’m flying blind
So many questions spring to mind

And see the snakes around the bend
On my way to journey’s end
Around the bend, just out of sight
Around the corner shines a light

Just out of touch and out of reach
Beyond all sound, beyond all speech
The curtain falls, but who knows when
Hmm, my journey ends, my journey’s end

Fly like the swallows
That dance through the sky
Fly into tomorrow
Through the wind, through the fire

Fly like an eagle
Fly straight, with no fear
Fly, from all sorrows
From all sadness, from all care
Fly...
