Lyrics


1. CLEAN TOWN

You wanna worship its feelings
The ones who's squeezing the shame from every man
And if mama says it's dinner time,
If she ruins your love, run away
So you live in a prison
So you're wasting your life
On a system you never will understand
Are you the one I dreamed of. Man!

[Chorus]
Clean town if you want to get away
You pack your cases and you hope for a better day
Mama's alright she said she didn't want your love
Clean town if you want to get away,
You pack your cases and you hope for a better day
Joni's alright she said she didn't want your love

Won't you walk down the main street
Take the bridge over never ending rails
And even if you're falling down
That's an open door to the outside world
So you live in a bubble
So you're wasting your life
On a system you never will understand
Are you the one I dreamed of. Man!

[Chorus]

You can drive to the east cost
Disappear for a while
Put the band-echo on, then we'll give him a ride
Are you the one I dreamed of. Man!

[Chorus]

Won't you get away...


2. YOUR LOVER'S NERVE

Belgium or France maybe England
Reading your lips and they could be easily for me
Oh so fine and free
Well I went down here for your number
But your colours were grey
I obeyed the fact that you were small,
Oh so silly small
But I'm easy for your lover's nerve
I'm easy and you might be hurt in a year or two weeks from now on
And when I think of it you lied you cut all my maybes twice
You might be far away

Tango and waltz in the evening
Chasing the fears and they could be finally for me hunt them to be free
Load my revolver discussed with the old man stinking of gin
We'll it could be clear as ice to see just like you and me my friend
'Cause I am easy for your lover's nerve...
I am easy for your lover's nerve...
You might be far away, but I just don't know...


3. HAIL THE SUNNY DAYS

Share some thoughts for all the pretty people
Bless the gods and all the wealthy fellas
See how they run, see how they try
To give their best for all our beauty

They wear dignity like the falling angels
Proper shoes and the velvet trousers
We were tramps and whores who gathered around
Let’s shed a tear for those who’s crying

[Chorus]
And there ain’t no shame
Everybody’s waiting for a sunny day
Everybody gets their shot of being someone
So use your sunny day

We’re the dirt in the fields you're running
We’re the springtime’s first carnation
And we are all alone and so we stand
Above you all, the matched creation

Let’s all sing for our broken future
Let’s sing for all the idiots
Who will not share their lands
Their lands of gold and big ideas
We ain’t got nothing to live up to

[Chorus]

And we share our pain
Everybody’s waiting for a sunny day
Everybody gets their shot of being someone
So hail the sunny days

[Chorus](x2)

You gotta hail your sunny days
You gotta hail your sunny days
