If your timing was all wrong d'you think I'd tell you in a song? D'you think it's right to fall apart and tell me that I broke your heart? I've gotten over more than you, it wasn't all that hard to do You have to change your line, you use it all the time Go away from my window I can't see you any more Go away from here I'm asking Cos if you don't then I'm not sure you're gonna like what I have to say Please don't think of me at night cos I don't think it would be right I think it's time we both moved on, like I tried after you'd gone But now you're standing at my door saying you can't do this any more All that I can say is you're the one who walked away Go away from my window I can't see you any more Go away from here I'm asking Cos if you don't then I'm not sure you're gonna like what I have to say The truth is that I'm kind of stoned, I could do with being alone To get a handle on my thoughts and be somewhere that you are not I know that this must really hurt, but I have to make this work We have had our time, and the truth is now I'm fine Go away from my window I can't see you any more Go away from here I'm asking Cos if you don't then I'm not sure you're gonna like what I have to say

Listening Listening Not Listening Not Listening Clap your hands while people die Because they tell you to Offer prayers for evil men Who won't do shit for you

Stranger things have happened but I don't know what they are It's easy for you to say that, you haven't travelled far Stranger worlds than this exist if you know where to look But you've never been the type to play it by the book Stranger reasons are given for living in the past You think your mind can save you but these things never last Stranger things than fiction, more unreal than fact You want to find your way home and got lost on your way back

I was born on a hillside, long enough ago Decided to move away, thought I needed to grow Thought the place was holding me back, making me old Needed somewhere I could go where I though the streets were paved with gold Thought I had to be the kind of person I wanted to see When I looked at my reflection So I moved to city, said goodbye to my folks Got a little place to live, ended up flat broke Got my heart broke a couple of times and lost some friends But all in all I thought I'd done ok, in the end But still I couldn't see the person I wanted to be When I looked at my reflection Stumbled all around this place I called my hometwon Tried to make some sense of it all and not fall down Held on to the things that mattered and that was enough Got to realising maybe things weren't so tough Finally started to see that the person I wanted to be Wasn't in my reflection Now I'm living on another hillside and enjoying my life Got a home and a family, got a beautiful wife Realise that my hometown wasn't a curse And that living is easier than trying to rehearse And trying to hide behind the idea in my mind Of what I saw in my reflection

Chorus Hey Cactus Flower, what do you know? Will you come to tell me when it's my time to go? Hey Cactus Flower what will you say? When you come to meet me, and show me the way? 1/ I haven't seen you in such a long long time And for twenty five years that's been fine The last time I saw you, my daddy died The last time you flowered, I broke down and cried Chorus 2/ If my heart was pure, the Lord might let me in To sit at his right hand and be with my kin But the truth, Cactus Flower, is I don't want to go It might make no difference, but I thought that you should know. Chorus

Why is it I only hear from you when I don't need you any more? What is it that makes you go looking for love at someone else's door? You dropped me when I thought I needed you Left me here all by myself But as soon as I find some happiness You show up and want to take me off the shelf You said you loved me and you always had But when we were together you just treated me bad So I moved on and you couldn't stand it I think that you want me left empty handed

Down from the mountain In the shanty town From ghettoes in the city To the suburbs out of town Desperate lives decipher hopes hidden in a song Sing it with some heart my friends And I will sing along There's no tune like a good tune The devil don't own them all Just music from the people Unified in song This machine kills fascists Stands up to Babylon Tells tales of truth and justice Of love, of having fun Play it on your banjo Riff it on your horn Mix it up with drums and bass Guitars and singalong There's no tune like a good tune The devil don't own them all Just music from the people Unified in song This sounds the sound of freedom It hasn't changed in years A blend of many cultures All colours and all creeds Heard it from an old man Whose daddy sang a song Sung in some forgotten show The chorus girls still sing along There's no tune like a good tune The devil don't own them all Just music from the people Unified in song
