Nobody knows where you are, how near or how far.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Pile on many more layers and I'll be joining you there.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
And we'll bask in the shadow of yesterday's triumph,
sail on the steel breeze.
Come on you boy child, you winner and loser,
come on you miner for truth and delusion, and shine

Listen to your heart and not your head
I know that this is what the wise man said
Maybe he's wrong...
And all this talk of yet another war
Contradicits just what the heart is for
Just what is it for??
'Cause everybody lies
Everybody cries in the end...
But I'm like the bluebird in the sky
Ya can't drag me down 'cause I'm so high!
And you know it's easy if you try
You can let the bluebird fly so high...
HA!
Why are you waiting by the phone??!
It only ever rings when no-ones home!
So go outside
There is no reason to delay
Grab your hat. Go out. Do it today.
Go out and play
So listen to me now because if ya can't believe be afraid
'Cause everybody lies
Everybody cries in the end...
But I'm like the bluebird in the sky
Ya can't drag me down 'cause I'm so high!
And you know it's easy if you try
You can let the bluebird fly so high...
So listen to me now because if ya can't believe be afraid
'Cause everybody lies
Everybody cries in the end...
But I'm like the bluebird in the sky
Ya can't drag me down 'cause I'm so high!
And you know it's easy if you try
You can let the bluebird fly
You can let the bluebird fly
You can let the bluebird fly so high...

she's been here so many times before she can't remember
when she last felt anything at all but this pain and anger
she stares intently at the door, listens for his footsteps
she knows exactly what's in store, and the knowing makes it worse
when he calls her daddy's little girl, she doesn't hear him
when he crushes her, she can't feel her screams are silent
hides in the corners of her mind where she plays contently
she leaves this nightmare far behind, she escapes inside her dreams
floating high above her bed
staring at her father's head
wishing one of them were dead
so this hell could finally end

I thought that if i ate the food of the area i was visiting.
That i might assimilate the point of view of the people there.
As if the point of view was somehow in the food.
So i would make no choices myself regarding what food i ate.
I would simply follow the examples of those around me.
I would study menus very carefully,
Making note of important differences and similarities.
When shopping at the supermarket
I felt a great desire to walk off with someone else's groceries
So that i could study them at length
And study their effects on me.
As though if i ate their groceries i would become that person; until i finished their groceries.
And we might find ourselves going to the same places.
Running into one another at the movies
Or in a shopping mall.
Reading the same books.
Watching the same tv programmes.
Wearing the same clothes.
Travelling to the same places.
And taking the same pictures.
Getting sick at the same time.
And getting well again simultaneously.
Finding ourselves attracted to the same people.
Working at the same job.
And making the same amount of money.
Living identical lives - as long as the groceries lasted.

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
And their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head i want to drown my sorrow
No tommorow, no tommorow
And i find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which i'm dying
Are the best i've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
'cos i find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very
Mad world
Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy birthday, happy birthday
Made to feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Went to school and i was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me

Song by the band also named world party, which can
Be found on their album entitled "private revolution"
Can you hear the music
It's coming from the forest where we used to live.
Can you hear the laughing
Coming from the clearing
At the bottom of the hill?
Ba-ba-ba-bah
Climb the hill and see the creatures
Run about their world.
World party - how can i say no?
No party - you know i've got to go
Go party - to a world party tonight.
I'm going to ask a dolphin
See if you can find a tiger
Whose eyes are still alight
With your little head in his mouth
Everything's gonna be alright.
I hear theres going to be a harvest
Where every creature gets a share
Of life and food and light.
Ba-ba-ba-bah
Unless we learn we're the dumbest creatures
That ever walked the world
Are you going?
Yes we're going to a world party.
Well, how can i say no?
Yes we're going to a world party.
You know i've got to go.
Yes we're going to a world party.
You know, you know, you know, he
Pa-party
Pa-pa-party
This party's in the mountains
And in the fields and on the shore
And at the bottom of the sea
In the desert, in the marshes
Underground up your tree
Ba-ba-ba-bah
And out in space you can hear the creatures
Sing about their world
Are you going?
Yes we're going to a world party,
Well, how can i say no?
Yes we're going to a world party.
You know i've got to go.
Yes we're going to a world party.
Yes we're going to a world party.
Yes we're going to a world party.
Yes we're going to a world party.

My my, at waterloo napoleon did surrender
Oh yeah, and i have met my destiny in quite a similar way
The history book on the shelf
Is always repeating itself
Waterloo - i was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo - promise to love you for ever more
Waterloo - couldn't escape if i wanted to
Waterloo - knowing my fate is to be with you
Waterloo - finally facing my waterloo
My my, i tried to hold you back but you were stronger
Oh yeah, and now it seems my only chance is giving up the fight
And how could i ever refuse
I feel like i win when i lose
Waterloo - i was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo - promise to love you for ever more
Waterloo - couldn't escape if i wanted to
Waterloo - knowing my fate is to be with you
And how could i ever refuse
I feel like i win when i lose
Waterloo - i was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo - promise to love you for ever more
Waterloo - couldn't escape if i wanted to
Waterloo - knowing my fate is to be with you
Waterloo - finally facing my waterloo
