Catch Me (Rod Goodway)
Here we go now walking down the street
Look at all the people who I'd really like to meet
Where they all going to, moving at such a speed
Is it for necessity or is it just for greed
You're working on a treadmill that goes round into infinity

Here I go now walking down the road
Look at all the people just doing what they're told
Paying all their taxes and using nuclear power
Don't they know the fact is taking chances by the hour
Oh and what about the acid rain look out here comes a shower
Catch me

Here we go now flying through the air
Do the people know I say or do they even care
Because of war there's people starving, getting in a state
While in the western world inflation helps the mortgage rate
While the homeless ones are forced to squat on some else's property
Catch me

Here we go now walking down the street
Look at all the people who I'd really like to meet
Where they all going to, moving at such a speed
Is it for necessity or is it just for greed
Do you want to buy shares in a chance for immortality?
Catch me
Back to THE JELLYCLOUDS
Midnight Train (Steve Lines)
Sunny Daze (Rod Goodway)
To Tuesday (Steve Lines)
Well I've taken all I can and I ain't gonna take no more
Don't wanna spend my time on the bottom floor
Well I don't need it, you're always putting me down
I won't take it I don't need you around

I don't mind you looking at those other girls
I got more than good looks underneath these curls
I don't want you why can't you understand
Things have changed I don't want you around

Don't push me around (Don't push me around)

Well I've had enough of you treating me like a fool
You think you're smart but honey you're so uncool
Don't you know that a woman needs respect
And that's just one thing I know I'll never get
20th Century Girl (Steve Lines)
Me I have no future
'cos I'm a memory man, and can
See life drifting past me
Here I am

People always ask me
Why am I this way, I say
The past is so much better
Than today

memories I hold are my future
But money so I'm told means so much more
But are the money'd people really happy
Counting out their fortunes on the floor?

Me I have my old friends
And thoughts of long ago, and so
Although they're all gone now
Dreams will flow

The dreams of life will flow
Deadman's Creek )Steve Lines)
Feeling like a vintage wine
Happy just to read the signs
Tell it's a beautiful day
Knew it would be anyway

Everyday can be a sunny day
Oh man do you understand?

If you feel it's not your day
Won't you try it anyway?
Even if it's not your style
Try it for a little while

Do it if it makes you smile
Take it for a little while
I promise you I will not say
I told you anyway
The midnight train is pulling on out
Leaving me with fear and doubt
As it rides, through the night
Taking the one I love from my sight

Hear the whistle blowing down the track
That midnight train ain't ever coming back
As it rides, through the night
Taking the one I love from my sight

See the smoke vanish into the dark
That midnight train is tearing up my heart
As it rides, through the night
Taking the one I love from my sight
Well it looks like she's on the edge and she's finally going over
I don't know what to do, you were a friend of hers
Can you help her at all?
It looks like she'll take that ledge and nothing else can save her
It's come down to this, it was the final straw
She can't take it any more

Oh please help her, she can't make it on her own
Giver her a reason and she will find the rhyme

She said you'd be sorry in the note she left you
She stole all your things and sold them cheap to a friend of your
Now she's waiting there for the final curtain
one small step, to fall to the street
And the curious stares

She's just a girl with no future in her eyes
Nobody seems to care if she lives or dies
Just down the river about a mile or so
There's a place where the townsfolk used to go
A deep cool creek where the river slows down
But nobody goes there now

On a day long gone a young boy drowned
And they say his body has never been found
Some say that he's down there still
Waiting for someone to kill

The water looks cool and pleasant
When the sun burns hot on the street
But listen to,what I tell you
Don't go swimming in Deadman's Creek

They say he's waiting there way down deep
And his rotting bones won't rest in peace
If you go swimming he'll pull you down
Just to watch you drown
Memory Man (Rod Goodway)
Darkness Weaves (Steve Lines)
Back to THE JELLYCLOUDS
Living On My Own (Rod Goodway)
When The Dream Fades (Steve Lines)
Car headlights in the night
Between the valleys of this land
Lampposts stretch their claws
At lovers walking hand in hand

Jet planes they whistle by
Spiders on a frosty lake
A savage dragonfly
Lovers kissing by a gate

In the mist a train screams by
With dreams of lizard skin
Tracks marks across this land
Love is just like heroin
So you've taken my advice
And you've gone out on your own
I really gotta say
Didn't mean it anyway
But I'm trying to ring ya now
To say I love ya anyhow

Are you hanging on the phone
While I'm sitting here alone?
You left me living on my own

Well I wonder what you'll say
When I tell you that it's true
That I was really just afraid
Of hanging on to you
So I acted like a fool
And I told you to be cool

I must insist you let me know
Where I stand in this affair
Did I encourage you to go
If I did ten tell me so
Can't you hear me calling out your name?
'cos I feel just the same
Don't Push Me Around (Steve Lines)
Plastic patterns on the floor
Dare I ask for more?
Cascading colours at my door
Feeling too unsure
Went to my window
What did I see?
Reflections of me

Plastic patterns in the rain
Through my window pane
I saw those colours once again
Happily insane
Stared through my window
What did I see?

Patterns faded in the snow
Pastel colours cannot flow
And after all my mind has known
It's gone and failed to show
Me through my windows
Tell me what did I see?
What did I see?
I wanna white Rolls Royce, wanne pink Cadillac
Tie myself to the railroad track
Dance and shout hear the boys scream
I wanna be a teenage dream
C'mon everybody and dance with me
I'm a 20th century girl

I wanna hear those songs on a chrome guitar
Rock 'n' roll baby, be a star
Trip and glide, bop to the beat
Move and groove it's really neat
C'mon everybody and dance with me
I'm a 20th century girl

Oooh oooh yeah

I'm a 20th century girl
It doesn't matter to me anymore
I can't explain what I'm living for
People are strange remember the line
Nowadays I seem to be making it mine

Nothing is as simple as it seems from the stars
You can play with my mind but not with my heart
I feel like I'm falling off the edge of my mind
Pushing too hard and I'm dying inside

Black is the colour inside my mind
Feeling afraid but I've already cried
It doesn't matter to me anymore
I can't explain what I'm living for


Alone with the pain that a memory leaves
In the night as the darkness weaves
The Jellyclouds
Plastic Patterns (Rod Goodway)
Hideaway (Steve Lines)
You take my heart and you break it to pieces
I'll never know how I was defeated
The dark is warn and I want to hide away

In the street with darkness around me
Velvet heat come and surround me
The dark is soft and I want to hide away

But I can't walk out in the light of day
No I can't walk out so I hide away

In the dark I feel so happy
Underground where no one can catch me
The night is soft and I want to hide away

You take my heart and you break it to pieces
I'll never know how I was defeated
The night is warm and I want to hide away
Rhyme & Reason (Steve Lines)
It's not the way you cloud the brightest sky
It's not the way you dull the clearest eye
It's not the way you kiss the darkest lie
It's just that I don't love you
It's just that I don't love you
I just don't love you anymore

It's not the way you twist the knife in me
It's not the way you watch my spirit bleed
It's not the way you curse the birds so free
It's just that I don't love you
It's just that I don't love you
I just don't love you anymore

The autumn leaves, spiral gently from the trees
And for one brief moment they are free

What do you do when the dream fades?
What do you do when the dream fades?
What do you do when all your memories have turned to dust?
The Jellyclouds (Steve Lines)
It was raining, it was pouring and I looked up in the sky
There were colours in the trees, plastic patterns low and high
The wind began to blow as I floated off the ground
And I met all the people in the Jellyclouds

I saw a big storm monster step across a hill
Smiling as he sat on my window sill
All the people started running as he look around
But I was safe as houses  in the Jellyclouds

In the Jellyclouds we were jumping up and down
In the Jellyclouds, yeah spinning round and round
Jellyclouds - in a psychedelic swirl
Jellyclouds - floating all over the world
All the colours of the rainbow
All the shades of the sun
In the Jellyclouds
