Kula Shaker Lyrics

HEY DUDE


All I have is all I need
Enough for love but not for greed yeah
I was younger once this guy came to me
Told me about the honey out there
He said honey gold jewels money
Women wine cars that shine
I don't know what he was talking about
But I think I had an idea
He said smell the rose, sweet sweet rose
Catch the sun find where it grows,
Smell the rose, the sweet sweet rose
That grows on castle walls in heaven
In heaven yeah
Well if it feels like summer
You're catching the sun
And I'm catching the moment you fall
If it tastes like honey don't swallow it all
Don't wait for the moment to come - and catch the sun
Hey dude, don't lean on me man
Cause I'm losing my direction and I can't understand, no no
Hey dude, well I do what I can
But you treat me like a woman
When I feel like a man
I was crossing the city one day
Everybody was flashing by me
Like images of tombstones, images of tombstones
On a Friday night I've seen everybody
Looking for their little bit of honey
To alleviate the pain, to alleviate the pain
Well if it feels like summer don't burn in the sun
Don't wait for the evening to fall
If it tastes like honey don't swallow it all
Don't wait for the moment to come - and catch the sun
No, no, n no, no, n no, no etc.
When I feel like a man!
Hey dude etc...

KNIGHT ON THE TOWN

She had been waiting all week for her knight on the town
He saw a lost soul of heaven that walked on the ground
Well the motor car felt like a carriage
The disco became as a palace and shone like a crown
It shone like a crown
All that we said was forgotten now we don't belong
Games for the lost souls of heaven that walk on the ground
Monday arrived but instead she was feeling so blue
Where was the garden of Eden she thought had come true?
She felt like she should have been praying
Her love was a memory fading but what can you do
When you're feeling blue.......
All that we said was forgotten now we don't belong
Games for the lost souls of heaven that walk on the ground

TEMPLE OF EVERLASTING LIGHT

Will I ever see the pleasure that will never end
Hidden in the misty forest that desire sends
Mesmerised like fireflys falling through a flame
If I wait I'll be too late to holler out your name
If I wait another day to travel to the east
Time may prey upon me, dance upon me with it's feet
Hidden in the temple they are building to the sun
Hidden in the forest, hidden figure with a gun
I have waited to be here
Now I feel you, feel you near
Take me home

SMART DOGS

Dancing in your shadow
I was riding through a different state of mind
No-one can perceive the state I'm in
It's like the living world is blind
It's a feeling like no other
Spending easter with your mother darling
It's a freaky roller coaster ride
Well if you know the feeling baby
Peel me off the ceiling baby
Did you know the planet earth was blue - turning blue
Don't you try and talk to me
I'm a spaceman sitting in the sky
I'm a sleeping sweetly honey
Let the sleeping pretty smart dogs lie - let 'em fly
Wait until tomorrow
See the summer sun upon the ocean sky
Look to the creator
See the master of magicians fantasise
It's a feeling like no other
Spending easter with your mother darling
It's a freaky roller coaster ride
Well if you know the feeling baby
Peel me off the ceiling baby
Did you know the planet earth was blue - turning blue
Don't you try and talk to me
I'm a spaceman sitting in the sky
I'm a sleeping sweetly honey
Let the sleeping pretty smart dogs lie - let 'em fly

MAGIC THEATRE

So I lay my head to rest
All alone it seems
There my guide is waiting
In a world of dreams

INTO THE DEEP

Into the deep, the long forgotten sleep
You can feel that your eyes are suht closely now
Where do you know, there's no-one that can know
As you lie you can try to be happy now
Fly brother fly, may you feel the love tonight
Fly brother fly, well I hope you meet your maker
Enter your heart, and never let it part
Yesterday was a lie so be happy now
When all you can feel is what you take as real
Come alive, realise it's a feeling
Fly brother fly, may you feel your love tonight
Fly brother fly well I hope you meet your maker
I know, the time has come to let you go
Time to sleep, to sleep.

TATTVA

Tattva, acintya bheda bheda Tattva (4 times)
Like the flower and the scent of summer
Like the sun and the shine
Well the truth may come in strange disguises
Send the message to your mind
Tattva, acintya bheda bheda Tattva (4 times)
At the moment that you wake from sleeping
And you know it's all a dream
Well the truth may come in strange disguises
Never knowing what it means
Tattva, acintya bheda bheda Tattva (4 times)
For you shall be tomorrow
Like you have been today
If this was never ending
what more can you say?

GRATEFUL WHEN YOU'RE DEAD

I'm painting, I paint a picture in your mind
If you're driving roads to suicide, I know you can sympathise
If your love is a cheatin'
And if you're blinded by the pain
Your honeymoon in summer is a picnic in the rain...
You'll be grateful when you're dead
Grateful when you're dead
Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba.
I'm shaking, I shake the spear before your eyes
Well if you know your history, you will read between the lines
If you're waiting for a vision, to illuminate your mind
To leave this world of misery, oh leave it all behind...
You'll be grateful when you're dead
Grateful when you're dead
Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba

JERRY WAS THERE

Jerry was there, Jerry was there...(many times!)
Oh I'm telling you man
Jerry was there
You could feel his presence everywhere (repeat)
"I seen him man - looked me right in the face."

303

I'm just I'm just I'm just a man stuck pushing some wheel
Moving on and down the road to the 303
In the land of summer sun we have just begun
Riding out with my friends in a Mercedes Benz
You can find your way home on the 303
You can let somebody know on the 303
On the 303 etc
Hard times, well all I know is that...Dark times?
Gotta let it go because I got my friends
And I love my friends
Yeah got my friends right to the end
Round the bend, all together now
I've got to, got to, get to some place I've not been
Headless guru in the night show me what you mean!
In the land of summer sun we have just begun
Perfect picture card scene, changing all that has been
You can find your way home on the 303
You can let somebody know on the 303
On the 303 etc
Hard times, well all I know is that...Dark times?
Gotta let it go because I got my stash
And I love my hash, yeah got my stash
Think I'll grow myself a big ol' hairy moustache

START ALL OVER

Oh my love, I wish that we could start all over
I'm so gone I really want to love again
Cause I know if it's real
No-one else could understand
Take me back, make me real, make me feel
Oh no no (I'm so gone)
Oh my love, I wish that we could start all over
I'm so gone I feel like I'm half way there...
Cause I know if it's real, no-one else could understand
Take me back make me real, make me feel
Oh no no (I'm so gone).
Oh my love, I wish that we could start all over
I'm so gone I really want to love again
I really want to start all over
Really want to love again
I really want to start all over
Really want to love again

HOLLOW MAN (PART 2)

I can only speak the words
As quickly as they're coming now believe me
Looking down upon the bed
Suspended by a silver thread I'm dreaming
From the feeling I had to be sure
When you know that you've felt this before
It's a long road, long journey home.
Trying to see poetry
Within the shifting imagery of meaning
Well if you're feeling hollow man
Just throw the stone and shatter your reflection...
With questions
Well if you're trying as hard as you can
To see where you fit in this plan
It's a long road, long lonely road
It takes time to find the place you love (twice)
Well if you've got to be sure
In that feeling you've got to take time
It takes time to find the place you love
It's a long road... long journey home.
