Ocean Colour Scene - The Clock Struck Fifteen Hours Ago - lyrics

And the clock struck fifteen hours ago; it is shining
And the man who is wasting on the wall
Looks a lot like jesus
And a little bit resembling
The man in the mirror in the hall
And I rose-trayed sailors
And you still shining
And Im still waiting not to go
And I lied for sailors
And I lied for certain
And I lied to everyone I know
I believe in God and I believe in loving
But I dont speak to anyone who knows
And I need four 50s and three yellow lemons
And someone to take me home
And Id forgotten the one who is sailing
On the water beside where you dont go
And its strange to tell that the one who is shining
Is someone I forgot I used to know
And the clock struck fifteen hours ago

Ocean Colour Scene - The Downstream - lyrics

Lay down your head & look to your window
Where do you go when its not where youre going
And how do you see when the light isnt shining
Where you could be if you worked out the timing
And how does it feel when the world comes on so real & true
And how do you do the things you do to you
If I were a king & you were a lady
What would I sing to say what Im saying
And would you believe the verses left open
My heart on my sleeve the rhyming all broken
And how does it feel when the world comes back so real & true
And how do you do the things you do to you
Sell me a river and Ill skate away
To the downstream where I did play
So easy minded like a hill on the skyline
Tripped up and blinded getting lost on the sidelines
And how does it feel when each word comes back so real & true
And how do you do the things you do to you

Ocean Colour Scene - The Day We Caught The Train - lyrics

I never saw it as the start
It's more a change of heart
Rapping on the windows, whistling down the chimney pots
Blowing off the dust in the room where i forgot
Yeah i laid my plans in solid rock
Stepping through the door like a troubadour whiling just an hour away
Looking at the trees on the roadside feeling it's a brighter day
You and i should ride the coast
And wind up in our favourite coats just miles away
Roll a number, write another song like
Jimmy heard the day he caught the train
He sipped another rum and coke and told a dirty joke
Walking like groucho sucking on a number 10
Rolling on the floor with the cigarette burns walked in
Yeah i miss the crush and i'm home again
Stepping through the door with the night in store whiling just an hour away,
Looking at the trees and the star-bright feeling it's a brighter day
Repeat chorus
You and i should ride the tracks
And find ourselves just wading through tomorrow
But you and i when we're coming down
We're only getting back
You know i feel the sorrow
When you find that things are getting wild
Don't you want days like these...
Don't you need days like these...

Ocean Colour Scene - The Inheritors - So Low B-side - lyrics

Brother dont lose that fire-stick no way
The night is coming thin
Might tire to light that stick
Brother dont lose that stick no way
Dont lose that heating fork no way
Dark (? ? ? )s coming down
Need someone to eat off the ground
Need something to eat (? ? ? ) today
Brother dont lose your bares no way
Dont know which side were on
Blue then its green then its brown
Mines hard and its red and its coming my way
We all be together
And we all turn the same land
And if the man cant be the child
Then the devil will take the man
Get you behind me quick
Hey brother dont lose that stick
Need something to light my way today
Brother dont start no slowing down today
Come here with your big ideas
Shooting inbetween your ears
Come here with your big ideas today

Ocean Colour Scene - All Up - lyrics

Spark and Cindy live by their own means
They wouldn't have if I only
know'd where they'd been
And I want to make things a part of my life
And I want to see that
things are going to be right
But if you can't even
stand on your feet
And if you don't own the
air that you breathe
Then it's not for me to say
But I wouldn't live that way
and I wouldn't stand apart
And I wouldn't find the real
and I wouldn't play a part
And I wouldn't find in love
so misguided by some fool
And just what I'm trying t say
makes my head spin round the room
(Repeat from 3rd line onwards)

Ocean Colour Scene - Take You Back - Up On The Downside B-side - lyrics

Resting so alone
Way back home
Waiting for a long
Way to go
Nothing if I take you back
Id rather never take you back for you
Waiting so fast
For a way to go
Wrestling with the past
Long way to go
Nothing if I take you back
Id rather never take you back for you
I got more than I can have cant really say
I get more than I can use day to day
I get more time to take you back
Id rather never take you back for you
Waiting so alone
Long time ago
Waiting so hard
On the radio
Wasting if I take you back
Id rather never take you back for you
I got more than I can have cant really say
I get more than I can use day to day
I get more time to take you back
Id rather never take you back for you

Ocean Colour Scene - Talk On - lyrics

Lay her gently
Gently slowly
Lay her in the ground
I dont know if shell come at all

Ocean Colour Scene - Tele He's Not Talking - lyrics

Tele hes the one he knows what to say
Knows how to find his own way
He knows the roads by night and by doorways
But watching the light in a hall
Wont change a thing or say at all
What it is that he says
Still he says that I dont know
Still he says that I dont know
I dont why I think about so much
When I dont know what it is I cant say
And I wouldnt change a thing if I believe you all
And scream it in your face
Still Id say hey I dont know
Still Id say hey I dont know
Tele deals the cards and draws an ace
And finds himself miles away
Where skies aint bruised by towers and fumes
Children aint too young to play
Would I change a thing
Id change it all
But were born different days
Still Id say hey I dont know
Still Id say hey I dont know
(repeat chorus)
Would I change a thing
Id change it all when Im miles away
Would I change a thing
Id change it all but we were born on different days
Id change a thing
Id change it all when Im miles away...

Ocean Colour Scene - The Clock Struck 15 Hours Ago - lyrics

And the clock struck fifteen hours ago; it is shining
And the man who is wasting on the wall
Looks a lot like Jesus
And a little bit resembling
the man in the mirror in the hall
And I rose-trayed sailors
And you still shining
And I'm till waiting to got
And I lied for sailors
And I lied for certain
And I lied to everyone I know
Oh I'd believe in God and I'd believe in loving
but I don't speak to anyone who knows
And I need four 50's and three yellow lemons
And someone to take me home
And I'd forgotten the one who was sailing
on the water down beside where you don't go
And it's strange to tell
that the one who is shining
is someone I forgot I used to know
And the clock struck fifteen hours ago

Ocean Colour Scene - The Best Bet On Chinaski - Better Day B-side - lyrics

Henry took out all the wrong and never thought
Do you know what hed say, its a beautiful day
Henry took out all his money and found he had none
Do you know what hed say, its a beautiful day
And he would not buy the things that you were handing down
And he would not clear it off for you and leave you lying down
Henry found the love and he found it just today
Do you know what hed say, its beautiful day
Put my face in all the things that Ive never done
Do you know what hed say, its beautiful day
And he would not follow things that others said or done
And he would not follow things that you call everyone
cause henry found the note and he found it hard to give away
Do you know what hed say, its a beautiful thing
Bottled up a ticket to God knows where
Do you know what he said to the driver, its a beautiful day
And he would not follow things that you were handing down
And he would not buy the alternate news when the dogs were being drowned
cause henry found the love and he found it today
Do you know what hed say, its a beautiful thing
And you know what he knows, that its a beautiful day
And you know what hed say, that its a beautiful day
cause henry got it all and he found it just today
Do you know what hed say, its a beautiful day...
