Old Medley (Live at the Niedersachsenstadion, Hannover, 10th July 1992)

[Part I: Dance on a Volcano]

[Verse 1]

Holy Mother of God

You've got to go faster than that to get to the top

Dirty old mountain all covered in smoke

She can turn you to stone

You better start doing it right

Yes, you better start doing it right

All right

[Verse 2]

You're halfway up and you're halfway down

The pack on your back keeps turning you around

Throw it away, you won't need it up there, and remember

You don't look back, whatever you do

Yes, you better start doing it right

All right

Yes, you better start doing it right

[Part II: The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway]

[Intro]

And the lamb lies down, down, down, down on Broadway

[Verse 1]

Early morning Manhattan

Ocean winds blow in off the land

The Movie-Palace is now undone

The all-night watchmen have had their fun

Sleeping cheaply on the midnight show

It's the same old ending – it's time to go

Get out!

It seems they cannot leave their dream

There is something moving in the sidewalk steam

And the lamb it lies down, down, down, down on Broadway

[Verse 2]

Nighttime flyers feel their pains

Drugstore takes down its chains

Metal motion comes in bursts

But the gas station can quench that thirst

Suspension cracked on an unmade road

The trucker's eyes, they read 'Overload'

And out on the subway

Rael Imperial Aerosol Kid

He Exits in the daylight, spray gun hid

And the lamb it lies down, down, down, down on Broadway

On Broadway

On Broadway

On Broadway

[Outro]

They say the lights are always bright on Broadway

They say there's always magic, in the air, tonight, tonight, tonight

They say the lights are always bright on Broadway

They say there's always magic in the air

[Part III: The Musical Box]

[Verse 1]

She's a lady, she's got time

Brush back your hair, and let me get to know your face

She's a lady, she is mine

Brush back your hair, and let me get to know your flesh

Just a little bit

[Verse 2]

I've been waiting here for so long

And all this time passed me by

It hardly seems to matter now, not now

[Verse 3]

You stand there with your fixed expression

Just casting doubt on all I have to say

So why don't you touch me, touch me

Why don't you touch me, touch me, touch me

[Chorus]

Now, now, now, now, now

Now, now, now, now, now

Now, now, now, now, now

Now, now, now, now, now

Now, now, now, now, now

[Part IV: Firth Of Fifth]

[Instrumental]

[Part V: I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe)]

[Intro]

It's one o'clock and it's time for lunch

Bum de dum de dum, dum, dum

When the sun beats down, and I lie on me bench

I can always hear them talk

[Verse]

Ah, there's always been Ethel

“Jacob, wake up, you've got to tidy your room now!”

And then Mister Lewis:

“Isn't it time that he was out on his own?”

Over the garden wall, two little lovebirds – cuckoo to you!

Keep them mowing blades sharp

[Chorus]

I know what I like

And I like what I know

Getting better in your wardrobe

Stepping one beyond your show

Oh, your show, it's your show

I know, yes, I know what I like

And I like, I like what I know

Is getting better in your wardrobe

Stepping one beyond your show, your show

Your show, you know that is your show

[Post-Chorus]

Your show

You know that is your show

Your show, you know

You know that is your show

[Instrumental Break: "Tambourine Dance"]

[Outro]

When the sun beats down, and I lie on me bench

I can always hear them talk

Me, I'm just a lawnmower

You can tell me by the way I walk

Walk!

[Part VI: That's All]

[Verse]

Well just as I thought it was going all right

I found out I'm wrong when I thought I was right

It's always the same, it's just a shame, that's all

And I could say day, and you'd say night

And tell it's black when I know that it's white

It's always the same, it's just a shame, that's all

[Part VII: Illegal Alien]

[Chorus]

No, no, no, it's no fun being an illegal alien

No, no, it's no fun being an illegal alien

It's no fun being an illegal alien

No, no, no, no, no, it's no fun being an illegal alien

[Part VIII: Your Own Special Way]

[Interlude]

You have your own special way

[Part IX: Follow You Follow Me]

[Chorus]

And I will follow you, will you follow me

All the days and nights that we know will be

I will stay with you, will you stay with me

Just one single tear in each passing year

I will follow you, will you follow me

All the days and nights that we know will be

I will stay with you, will you stay with me

Just one single tear in each passing year there will be

[Part X: Stagnation]

[Bridge]

Oh, ohhh

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh, oh, ohhh

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh, oh, ohhh

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

[Part XI: I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe) (Reprise)]

[Chorus]

Ye-ye-ye-ye-yes I know, well, I know what I like

And I like, well, I like what I know, I know, I know

It's getting better in your wardrobe

Stepping one beyond your show

Your show, you know it's your show
