Land of the Laughing

Take me back to the land of the laughing
I've been spending so long just bawling
I need to wake up
Start my oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh ah oi oh oh
Take me back to the land of the dancing
I've been spending so long just crawling
I need to wake up
Start my oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh ah oi oh oh
Take me back to the land of the believing
I've been spending so long misbehaving
I need to wake up
Start my oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh ah oi oh oh

High as You Like
03:19
|

You can build it up as high as you like
I am here and I am ready to climb
Might need a little leg-up
Might need a helping hand
But when we get to the top let's leap and see how we land
Maybe we be broken
Maybe we rebound
Maybe we go running when we hit the ground
Let's do as only we would dare
With you I do not care
I'm getting all twisted up
Coming undone
You are all I ever think of
You can drag it out for as long as you like
I've got patience sitting here by my side
A little entertainment while I wait for your hand
And when the waiting's done let's leap and see how we land
Maybe we be broken
Maybe we rebound
Maybe we go running when we hit the ground
Let's do as only we would dare
With you I do not care
I'm getting all twisted up
Coming undone
You are all I ever think of
You can build it up as high as you like

The Old Familiar
03:20
|
|||
I don't know what you want to hear
So I'll just play it to you how I feel it
I don't know how you'd like me to appear
So I'll just wear it the way I wear it
Maybe you want the old familiar
Maybe you want something completely new
I don't know what it is I got
All I know is I've got to give it to you
You can take it
You can leave it
I don't mind
Just feel it
I don't know what you expect me to say
So I'll just tell it to you the way I learnt it
I don't know what you expect me to do
So I'll just do it to you the way I do it
Maybe you want the old familiar
Maybe you want something completely new
I don't know what it is I got
All I know is I've got to give it to you
You can take it
You can leave it
I don't mind
Just feel it

No Entertainment
03:29
|

An evening in
No smoke or drink
Just sink into the sofa
Switch the TV on
A nice hot bath
Cup of cocoa
Early night
So just curl up into bed
There's no entertainment for me around here
So call me up
I will run right over
Grab your hand and lead you out into town
Let's go dancing
Let's go drinking
Get so dizzy we just disappear
All I want to do is go out all night and get wasted
With You
A nice clear desk with two computer screens
A pile of papers and the company pen
Get in on time
Take responsibility
Be sure be early and work a bit late
There's no entertainment for me around here
So call me up
I will run right over
Grab your hand and lead you out into town
Let's go dancing
Let's go drinking
Get so dizzy we just disappear
All I want to do is go out all night and get wasted
With You
There's no entertainment for me around here

Explode
04:48
|
|||
It doesn't make any sense what you're saying to me
I wonder if makes any sense what you say to anybody
I ask you a question you give me your old stock phrase
I wanted your opinion not your cliches
You've got to explode
Break out of your mould
You're so repetitive with repetitive with everything you say
You say the same thing again
Shut up with your American accent
You're from Slough
Shut up with your moaning you silly cow
You've got to explode
Break out of your mould

Slipped Right Through
03:16
|
|||
I can't believe all of our dreams came true
Lucky me, lucky you
We made a little hole in space and time and slipped right through
Out here on the other side
We've got nothing to fear, nothing to hide
So hold on tight and we will slip right through
I can't believe all of our dreams came true
Clever me, clever you
We figured out a way to cheat the system and we slipped right through
Out here on the other side
We'll be taking a dip, taking a dive
And if they cast their nets we will slip right through
I can't believe all of our dreams came true
Lucky me, lucky you
We made a little hole in space and time and slipped right through

Tame Our Monkeys
03:56
|
|||
Haul us up to the top of the hill
Oil our wheels and set us rolling
Give us a kick
I want to give it one more shot
Pick us up at the foot of the hill
Fix our holes and set us sailing
I want to give it one more shot
Teach me how to sort my life out
Teach us how to be insane
Teach us how to tame our monkeys just enough
But I don't want to
You're a scavenger
An opportunist
A hunter-gatherer
You can do just whatever you like
If it feels alright
I want to give it one more shot
Getting out over the ocean
Teach us how to sort our lives out
Teach us how to be insane
Teach us how to tame our monkeys just enough
But I don't want to

Cockatoo
02:39
|

My morning started well
With a cockatoo in a wishing well
Then you went and wrenched me out of my dream
You drag me out and down the road
I'm waking up over a bacon roll
It tastes good but I'd still rather be in bed
Take me back to my cockatoo
We were singing songs you never new
In a wishing well that was full of glue
We were stuck in luck - didn't need you
It was so sublime
I want to do it all the time
Up at six - now it's midday
Time racing away
It feels good but I'd still rather be in bed
Later on in the afternoon
Close my eyes for a snooze
But you went and wrenched me out of my dream
Take me back to my cockatoo
We were singing songs you never new
In a wishing well that was full of glue
We were stuck in luck - didn't need you
It was so sublime
I want to do it all the time

the yes mess UK
Formed by songwriter Danthedan - The Yes Mess is a rock and roll band that contains three bass players.
Fortunately one is contained behind a drum kit and another behind an acoustic guitar; the tallest actually plays the bass.
Add to that: An idiot savant accordion player, some dancing with flamingos and a bumble bee of electric guitar.
The sum pulses and swarms....
