Mondo Akimbo A Go Go Lyrics
1. Nothing Ever Changes But The Shoes
In the trials of my youth
On my way to being a man
There were caustic words of ill advice
I'd never understand
But their hometown dreams were shattered
When ambition foiled their plans
But you can't be the one who tries
They love to criticise
I know, or at least they'll try
Laughing is all I can do
Trying to keep from falling through
Nothing ever changes
Nothing ever changes
They all got advice to give
Cos they got no life to live
Nothing ever changes
Nothing ever changes
Nothing ever changes but the shoes
In my one man crusade
Doing what I knew was right
They would tempt me with the honest sweat
Of labour, love and life
And they only find respect for you
If you give up the fight
But you can't be the one who tries
They'll cut you down to size
I know, or at least they'll try
Laughing is all I can do
Trying to keep from falling through
Nothing ever changes
Nothing ever changes
They all got advice to give
Cos they got no life to live
Nothing ever changes
Nothing ever changes
Nothing ever changes but the shoes
But the shoes
I want to be there when you say you're wrong
I want to be there when you crawl
I wouldn't piss on your opinions
And if I stand on top of the world
Then maybe I'll find somebody I know
And if I don't
Laughing is all I can do
Trying to keep from falling through
Nothing ever changes
Nothing ever changes
They all got advice to give
Cos they got no life to live
Nothing ever changes
Nothing ever changes
Nothing ever changes but
2. Crying Over Nothing
You, with the sadness in your eyes
You've got places you could dream to
If you'd only take the time
I've, got the arms to break your fall
Bad you're sad without a reason
And that's the baddest kind of all
Down, down, see then drown
Why, do you let it get you down
Those empty headed heroes
And those rumours going round
Tired, of having people you despise
But you've got so much love inside you
That you've never exercised
Down, down, see then drown
You can't stop crying over
Can't stop crying over nothing
You can't stop crying over, can�t stop crying over
Nothing, nothing, nothing
It's alright, so why care?
If you bleed for the light
I will follow you there
'Cos there's a sun kissed cloud over rain dog holiday's holiday!
Crying over nothing
3. Turning American
Do you remember British achievement?
Living when times were good
Watching the start of the end of an era
And would you go back if you could?
When I was younger the smell of the hunger
In all of the music you played
Kept me believing you lived for the lifestyle
And not just the cash to be made
Cos it's a place where people happen
It's the corner of success
Everybody loves you
And you're never second best
The smell of easy money
And you follow it to death
I smell the shit upon your breath
I remember you when you were an Englishman
But now you're turning American
Turning American
I remember you when you were an Englishman
But now you're turning American
Turning American
Walking away from the crumbling empire
Won't make it grow anymore
Changing your style cos the radio tells me
How can you sleep?You're a commercial whore
And you'd lick the steaming phallus
If it offered you a hit
They'll clean you of integrity
And then they'll make you fit
You'll think you'll glide to stardom
Then you show them what you've got
Your pride, your balls, they own your lot
I remember you when you were an Englishman
But now you're turning American
Turning American
I remember you when you were an Englishman
But now you're turning American
Turning American
I want to be American, I want to be a star
You should be over there, you should go far
But I don't wanna learn cos I know it all now
You should be guaranteed to find out how
You'll always be a wanna be
You look too far away
Cos it's a place where people happen
It's the corner of success
Everybody loves you
And you're never second best
The smell of easy money
And you follow it to death
I smell the shit upon your breath
I remember you when you were an Englishman
But now you're turning American
Turning American
I remember you when you were an Englishman
But now you're turning American
Turning American
4. Liberty Cap
Clouded grey and blue my mind is ten miles high and rising
Misty waters calling down surrounding me with healing
To rise, to climb above the chaos, and wash away the filth
To hide inside my reason, the only one I need
And all I can remember, is all I can forget
To taste you is to trust you
I'm hitting that high, I'm hitting that high
Leave me be, man, I just wanna be on my own
Leave me be, man, I just wanna be on my own
I've got sickness in my head, I got spiders in my bed
I said, leave me be, man, I just wanna be on my own
Twist myself around the wreathing corridors around me
Embryo I am my mother smothers me in safety
My own, I could be here beside you, in sickness and in health
Good luck is all I needed
I'm hitting that high, I'm hitting that high
Leave me be, man, I just wanna be on my own
Leave me be, man, I just wanna be on my own
I've got sickness in my head, I got spiders in my bed
I said, leave me be, man, I just wanna be on my own
I'm coming down, I'm coming down
I'm coming down, down, down, down
Wooaah!
