Song lyrics

Bullshit and la de da

You took me by the hand

and led me to some phoney promised land

those promises you made

were empty vessels in a cheap arcade

nothing that you said to me

is standing up to scrutiny

Chorus

I see you now for what you are

the bullshit and the la de da

my heart was just a perch on some

selfish lifestyle search

I see you know for what you are

the bullshit and the la de da

nothing that you said to me

can hurt me any more

You picked on me for security

and I helped you build a life with me

but all the things you said to me

all the promises that we’d always be

turned out to be just fantasy

ripples in an ebbing sea

Chorus

Instrumental

You said you wanted

to stand on your feet

to make your way down

life’s long street

but far from standing on your own

you’re digging for another home

all that passion you talked about

are dying embers – you’re all burnt out

Chorus x2 to end

Cuba

Your dress is in tatters

your hair is a mess

you look like

you've been undressed

But as you

keep dancing on

you sing your songs

of revolution

Your skirts of green

your tears of pain

everyone is equal

but no one's the same

You shout at giants

you beat your drum

you cannot win

so you swim alone

Keep breaking rules

keep crying out loud

your name is Cuba

and you're so proud

Keep breaking rules

keep crying out loud

your name is Cuba

and you're so proud

Each lover's kiss

is now long gone

Jose Marti gave you his song

then Che bared his soul for you

can fidel carry you through

Keep breaking rules

Keep crying out loud

your name is Cuba

and you're so proud

instrumental

Keep breaking rules

keep crying out loud

your name is Cuba

and you're so proud

Neverland

Evil Queens and growing beans

Giant's itch and dastard witch

fly our bed to neverland

hear the unicorn jazz band

Firey dragon and a grizzly troll

dancing with a gangsters moll

stepped into the haunted wood

escape the world if we could

A fairytale for you and me

another place for us to be

trip outside and we will be

just fine

The owl and kitty in their boat

sailing round their endless moat

the cheshire cat is grinning wide

as jack and jill begin to slide

A fairy tale . . . .

instrumental

Little Timmy and riding hood

knew they shouldn't

but knew they would

take a dip in the enchanted pool

the fantasy's not real you foold

A fairy tale . . .
