The Jeremy Days - Lyrics

Julie thru the Blinds

Don't talk now
big plans are made listening
but all my words
come back to me
slowly
the heavenly music would stop
I'm sure it would stop
ooh if the angels
could only see us now
Julie thru the blinds
I see something I've never seen before
Julie thru the blinds
I know there's music outside this door
Julie on my mind
if it means something to us
Julie outside
everyday they bring us more
and more
just my luck
if you're building walls
you can't see no more
I swear
if I could tear them all down
and I'll talk and talk for hours
see how far that gets me
I told ya
Julie thru the blinds
I see something I've never seen before
Julie thru the blinds
I know there's music outside this door
Julie on my mind
if it means something to us
Julie outside
everyday they bring us more
more and more and more.

Are you inventive?

The world made up fear and love the pain
don't fall from heavens above
and nowhere is the place
and all you need is love love love
are you inventive?
now this day like young girls talk
it ain't sweet
not right for doing much
and lately we ain't been doing much...how 'bout you
hey hey hey
what you do when the rain falls down
and there's nothing to wake up to
what you do when the sun don't shine
no more no more no more no more
you lie down on your sinless bed
and understand what understanding never meant
this is a call-out
covers everything
from this side of the earth to the other side...
are you inventive?
are you
are you inventive well well
everybody's talkin' 'bout the real thing
there's a world outside this room
hello
where did the sun hide away
and you're a fighter I hear
well if they took you today
to be strong
to bring pain
I see a quiver in your lip
see to me it's all the same
hey hey hey
but what you do when the rain falls down
and there's nothing to wake up to
what you do when the sun don't shine
no more no more hey no more no more hey
are you inventive?
are you inventive
everybody's talkin' 'bout the real thing
there's a world outside this room
are you inventive? are you inventive
everybody thinks they got the hard-line
there's a world outside this room.

Brand new toy

She wakes me from my sweet jealousy
to tell me she's scared just like me
she takes me like nobody before
... wherever she goes
she would paint the empty skies
just to catch your fleeting smile
she can make me feel a little shy
she's my brand new toy
I like the way she moves me
my brand new toy
she turns to me so softly
she says... lean on me
she's my brand new toy
I like the games we're playing
my brand new toy
and I'll make her sit and wonder
I'm under her impression too
so early out and into bed again
night to day she'd rest my aching head
and I'd take this world to show my interest
to find that leaves her totally unimpressed
my smile, my words, my charm
when she takes me in her arms
she makes me feel a little bold
cause...
she's my brand new toy
I like the way she moves me
my brand new toy
she turns to me so softly
she says lean on me
she's my brand new toy
I like the games we're playing
my brand new toy
and I'll make her sit and wonder
I'm under her impression too
just wake me up.

That's what I call love

Where are you right now
does it feel much better
now that you're gone
and if I had a heart of stone
I guess I'd never played your games
but I don't dear
no I don't
some may say
to hurt is to be afraid
but that don't get rid of this pain
so hurt the hand that holds you
that's what I call love
please explain to me
maybe I could understand
now how would that be
and all these things you do
well I can't get it thru my head
look how you break us in two
such a lonesome game
so take away
the one thing you never had
and forsake the only love you'll ever know
so hurt the hand that holds you
that's what I call love
that's what I call love
that's what I call love.

Rome wasn't built in a day

Close your eyes my love
fill your sleep with dreams
words stray endlessly
flow like pouring rain
feel the time go by
till it slaps you in the face
in your corner of the sky
where you leave me
to answer my question
will I miss someone?
Rome wasn't built in a day
wasn't built in a day
waiting for the dance
with my best new american friend
as she turns so graciously
to see the state I'm in
but oh how good it feels
to walk away all regrets
that's something for us to keep
here's something for us now
just like a thousand goodbyes
wipe the tears from your eyes
like I'm losing myself
Rome wasn't built in a day
all she said was she never knew me at all
Rome wasn't built in a day
when she left she left nothing in return
Rome wasn't built in a day
so I lay my head to rest now
to say it simply
when all escapes me
at the bottom of the sea
I found the love that left me
Rome wasn't built in a day
all she said was she never knew me at all
Rome wasn't built in a day
but when she left she left nothing in return
nothing in return
nothing in return.

Fantastic friend

I feel so good today
and if I never come down
I wouldn't worry
I haven't missed anything
you can take the wide world
shove it
in a little hole
see if anything grows
see if I care
my fantastic friend
it ain't all what it seems
my fantastic friend
behind the colour parade
the colours stay the same
gold and rose and lilac too
marching down 5th avenue
see the girl with the grapesugar?
her lipstick is smeared
and the boys from the fire department
hurry on as another
stupid joker throws a bomb on the cars
heading for the jersey side
my fantastic friend
it ain't all what it seems
my fantastic friend
behind the colour parade
the colours are the same
my fantastic friend
now some other mad hatter brings the chatter to a stop -
this morning there was far
on every window south of Washington Square
my fantastic friend
behind the colour parade
the colours are the same.

Food and coffee

The land where my mother lies
the rain has a friendly smile for me
and give and take many days like this
sleeping and waking up to you
is what I like to do
so goodbye world
you're too wonderful for them
to see
food and coffee
clock's ticking goodbye
I just can't believe
that someday I just die
the sun beats upon my head
and if I go out today I know
I will not be sad
but when I am dead my dearest
sing no sad songs for me
for you see
goodbye world you're too wonderful
for them to see
goodbye world
you're too wonderful for them
to see
to see
... food and coffee
clock's ticking
goodbye.

This world

I got bullets in my brain
tell me what I want
chitty chatty lies
stories passing by
although I win most of things
I lose and fail miserably
organizing myself
tell me how hard it is
tell me what I want
in this world
tell me what it is
with this world
tell me what I get
on a grey day
a grey day
I got a whole lot of money
for acting quite stupid
my words and moves
all in one a mess
and if I come to rescue you
would you rescue me back
and if I kissed you
would you leave me by your door till dawn
tell me what I want in this world
in this world.
tell me what it is
with this world
tell me what I get on a grey day
a grey day
tell me what I get on a grey day
a grey day
tell me what I want
in this world
in this world.

Starting to pretend

there is a girl
who's waiting out for me
who's love
is stronger than anything
she prays for me
but when we lie together in my room
it's a dark and lonely truth
that hides beneath the lies
hey hey
I'm starting to pretend
hey hey
I'm starting to pretend
so pure and simple
is my deceit
she never knows
what goes on in my head
I never hear her say
a bitter word
although the way I mess around town
she should see that ...
hey hey
I'm starting to pretend
hey hey
I'm starting to pretend
oh please now
like it never ends
hey hey
I'm starting to pretend.

Raintree country

The end

Sitting in a grass hut
all made up
with the message
discouraging news never keep me too long
and the thunder comes thru my root
but I sit on
cause I will not
I will not be refused...
till the end of time
the end
till the end of time
I'll be with you
and from the highest cline
rank lush and vine
till the end of time
the sun then burst
and as I looked around me
there was noone
but a sweet breath from the trees
to welcome the sun
and I thought why I'll not go back
to where the serious people live
cause I will not
no I will not be serioused
serious
till the end of time
the end
till the end of time
I'll be with you
and from the highest cline
rank lush and vine
till the end
the end of time.
