They took the man from out of town They won't believe his alibi And on that day the sky fell down I swear I heard that young boy cry He told them: I'm no ordinary In your eyes I never will be I'm strange and peculiar Drive on, Drive on I want to go to paradise Drive on, Drive on The feeling cuts me like a knife Drive on, Drive on The rains came late again this year The crops won't grow without the sun It's better there than over here When will Dreamtime come? He told them: I'm no ordinary In your eyes I never will be I'm strange and peculiar Drive on, Drive on... I want to go to Paradise Drive on, Drive on The feeling cuts me like a knife Don't lose your head Just take your time Can't you see if I'm worth having I'm worth waiting for

I wish I had a penny For every time I told her I loved her But that sincerity I know won't raise the fare She was born with a wanderlust And against the odds she made the grade Now out of sight is out of mind to her I'm scared... It's a big bad big bad dead end world If I close my eyes I can't forget you, stranger In my sleep I see you dancing into danger Mister don't shoot her You can't see the whites for the reds of her eyes Maybe she's been crying over me While you're lying over her Talk of us is words in perfect tenses It seems that action men have broke down your defences We're passing strangers But your leaving left me wondering why These times have changed us Caught in the middle of a big bad dead end world Caught in the middle of a big bad dead end world Friends rally round but it's not just a question of sympathy Others come and go why won't you come and go with me? We're passing strangers But your leaving left me wondering why These times have changed us Caught in the middle of a big bad dead end world Caught in the middle of a big bad dead end world

Here we are Alive and free Far away in time from our darkest day That took our young and brave From the cradle to the grave 70 years ago on July one 1916 on the Somme The enemies had never seen fighting like this before Such a simple plan-- How could any german man Survive through that ordeal? Company 'A' to Company 'B' "Morale is high here, sir, but I don't think it's safe to go" Company 'A' from Company 'B' "Mister you have your orders and you must obey" So the first line rose, and the first line fell And a poet who survived later wrote about A "Sunlit vision of Hell" And "Larks singing" Because after all it's just another summer's day in France And the Tommies on the Somme sang "We are fighting to turn no-man's land into a common ground" A common ground
