OLD FOOLS NEW FOOLS WHAT HAVE YOU GOT TO SAY
THAT’S NOT BEEN SAID BEFORE A HUNDRED TIMES OR MAYBE MORE
OLD FOOLS NEW FOOLS WHO DO YOU THINK YOU’RE FOOLING
HANGING AROUND WITH THE LIVING IN A WORLD SO UNFORGIVING
IF THE LIGHTS OF THE CITY SEEM SO OUT OF REACH
THEY MAY AS WELL BE MARS YOU’RE NEVER GONNA SEE THE STARS
TAKE A LOOK ALL AROUND YOU AS THE WORLD KEEPS PASSING BY
YOU’RE RUNNING ROUND IN CIRCLES JUST TO STAY ONSIDE
OLD FOOLS NEW FOOLS HAVEN’T YOU GOT WORK TO DO
HANGING ROUND IN BARS WHEN YOU SHOULD BE PARKING PEOPLE’S CARS
OLD FOOLS NEW FOOLS WHAT’S THE POINT YOU’RE MAKING
QUOTING FROM THE BEATLES AS LONG AS YOU’RE HEART IS BEATING
TAKE A LOOK ALL AROUND YOU YOU CAN SEE YOU’RE OUT OF TOUCH
ALL YOU HAVE ARE WORDS AND THEY DON’T COUNT FOR MUCH
CAN’T YOU SEE THE DISINTEREST OF THE PEOPLE ON THE STREET
VOTING WITH THEIR FEET BRING OUT YOUR OLD FOOLS
YOU KEEP ON HANGING ON YOU SHOULD BE LETTING GO
THERE IS NO INTEREST IN THE THINGS THAT YOU DON’T KNOW
TAKE A LOOK ALL AROUND YOU’LL SEE NO SYMPATHETIC EYES
YOU’LL FIND THERE IS NO PRIZE FOR BEING WORLDLY WISE
OLD FOOLS NEW FOOLS YOUR TIME HAS COME AND GONE
YOU HAD YOUR CHANCE AND YOU MUFFED IT
AN OPEN GOAL AND YOU FUCKED IT
OLD FOOLS NEW FOOLS GET BACK IN YOUR BOX
YOU’RE TIME IS RUNNING OUT IT’S GOING
TICK TOCK TICK TOCK…

The Boy Needs a Miracle
03:30

EVERY DAY IS JUST LIKE THE LAST
HE SITS WATCHING THE WORLD GOING PAST
THE WINDOW OF HIS LOCAL CAFÉ
AS HE WHILES THE HOURS AWAY
TIL THEY CLOSE HE GOES HOME
TURNS ON THE TV BUT HE MISSES
ALL THE OLD SHOWS ALL THE OLD PRO’S
GOT SOLD DOWN THE THAMES AND HE KNOWS
TO GET ON IN THIS WORLD
THE BOY NEEDS A MIRACLE
HIS FAVOURITE ALBUM DON’T SOUND LIKE IT USED TO
SINCE IT’S BEEN REMASTERED REPACKAGED REDUX
LIKE HIS LIFE IT’S LOST IT’S FEELING
LOST IT’S FLAVOUR IT’S VERVE AND IT’S MEANING
IT SOUNDS EMPTY NOW
THE WORDS USED TO SPEAK TO HIM LOUD
AND HE FELL IN WITH THE CROWD BUT THINGS CHANGE
AND IT’S CLEAR TO HIM NOW
TO GET ON IN THIS WORLD
THE BOY NEEDS A MIRACLE
EVERY DAY IS JUST LIKE THE LAST
HE CAN’T HELP THINKING THE WORLD
IS SPINNING TOO FAST
HE GETS DIZZY HE FEELS LOST
AND HE SCREAMS I WANT TO GET OFF
STOP THE WORLD I WANT TO GET OFF
STOP THE WORLD I WANT TO GET OFF
STOP THE WORLD I WANT TO GET OFF
STOP THE WORLD I WANT TO GET OFF

I Found You

WHEN YOU’RE ALONE
YOUR FOOTSTEPS SEEM TO ECHO DOWN
THIS CITY STREET HOLLOW
A SOUND SO DESOLATE
IT CUTS RIGHT TO THE BONE
IT SEEMED I HAD TOO FAR TO GO
TO FIND YOU BUT I I FOUND YOU
THE FOOL ON THE HILL
GOT NOTHING ON ME
I WAITED THERE UNTIL
OUR STARS ALIGNED
AND THEN I SAW A SIGN
I WAITED FOR OUR PATHS TO COLLIDE
AND I FOUND YOU I I FOUND YOU
I PUT MY FINGER TO YOUR LIPS
BRUSH THEM WITH MY FINGERTIPS
JUST TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE REAL
WE LOOK UP TO THE STARS AT NIGHT
IT FEELS SO WRONG IT MUST BE RIGHT
OOH I FOUND YOU OOH I FOUND YOU
WHEN YOU’RE ALONE
YOUR FOOTSTEPS SEEM TO ECHO DOWN
THESE COBBLE STREETS AND NO
YOU CAN’T FIND YOUR WAY HOME
I THOUGHT I HAD TOO FAR TO GO
TO FIND YOU BUT I I FOUND YOU
I PUT MY FINGER TO YOUR LIPS
BRUSH THEM WITH MY FINGERTIPS
JUST TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE REAL
WE LOOK UP TO THE STARS AT NIGHT
IT FEELS SO WRONG IT MUST BE RIGHT
OOH I FOUND YOU OOH I FOUND YOU
OOH I FOUND YOU OOH I FOUND YOU

NOBODY’S GONNA TELL ME HOW TO LIVE MY LIFE
OR WHAT I SHOULD DO IF I WANT TO SURVIVE
AND MY BAD HABITS ARE NOBODY’S BUSINESS BUT MINE
WELL I’M NOT TRYING TO HURT ANYONE
BUT I’LL SAY ANYTHING IF I THINK IT’S FUN
I WANT TO BE THE PERSON WHO RUINS IT FOR EVERYONE
I MIGHT BE OUTSPOKEN AND I MIGHT BE BRASH
I MIGHT BE OUT OF MY DEPTH I MIGHT BE MAKING A HASH OF IT ALL
AT LEAST I HAVEN’T GOT FAR TO FALL
IT COULD BE TOO LOUD IT COULD BE TOO LONG
BUT NO-ONE’S GONNA TELL ME
THAT THERE’S SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY SONG
EVEN SOMEONE WHO’S CLASICALLY TRAINED
NOW EVERYBODY WANTS TO LIVE THEIR LIFE ON LINE
WE SHOULD HAVE BETTER THINGS TO DO WITH OUR TIME
THAN TELL EVERYONE ABOUT OUR DIET AND OUR EXERCISE
COS IF YOU’RE REALLY TELLING ME IT’S FUN TO RUN
WELL WHY SHOULD I CARE HOW MANY MILES YOU’VE DONE
MY EYES ARE GLAZING OVER YOU HAVEN’T EVEN BEGUN
WELL I COULD BE HAPPY OR I COULD BE SAD
BUT PEOPLE’S OPINIONS ARE DRIVING ME MAD ALL THE TIME
WHY DOESN’T EVERYBODY LISTEN TO MINE
AND I COULD BE RIGHT OR I COULD BE WRONG
I COULD FALL FLAT ON MY FACE
YOU COULD BE LAUGHING AT ME ALL ALONG
LAUGHING AT ME ALL ALONG
NOBODY’S GONNA TELL ME HOW TO LIVE MY LIFE
OR WHAT I SHOULD DO IF I WANT TO SURVIVE
AND MY BAD HABITS ARE NOBODY’S BUSINESS BUT MINE

SAMANTHA SITS AND THINKS ABOUT HER LIFE
PONDERS ON THE THINGS SHE’S NEVER DONE
SHE’S NEVER BEEN ANYBODY’S WIFE
NEVER BEEN SOMEBODY’S MUM
SAMANTHA SITS AND THINKS OF ALL THE TIMES
THAT SHE COULD CHOOSE TO GO OR STAY
NO STRINGS TO TIE YOU DOWN OR HOLD YOU BACK
NO ONE TO MISS WHEN YOU GO AWAY
NEVER HAVE TO TOW THE LINE
BITE HER LIP OR BE POLITE
TO CONDESCENDING YES MEN
FAT ON SPITE
NEVER WANTING CLINGING NEEDING
NO REGRETS AND NO HARD FEELINGS
NO ONE GETS HURT AND EVERYTHING’S ALRIGHT
SAMANTHA SITS AND CONTEMPLATES
ALL THE WINDING ROADS SHE NEVER TOOK
SHE SMILES AND POURS ANOTHER GLASS OF WINE
AND FALLS BACK INTO HER BOOK

IT DOESN’T MATTER WHAT YOU SAY NOW
IT DOESN’T MATTER WHAT YOU DO
IT DOESN’T MATTER WHERE YOU GO GIRL
I WANNA GO WITH YOU
IT DOESN’T MATTER WHAT YOU’RE FEELING
I’M FEELING IT TOO
AND I’M SORRY IF YOU’RE HURTING
I NEVER MEANT TO HURT YOU
IT TAKES A LITTLE BIT OF FEELING SHOW A LITTLE BIT OF FAITH
YOU GOT SOMETHING TO BELIEVE IN
SO WIPE THOSE TEARS FROM YOUR FACE
YOU BETTER NOT FEEL SORRY
YOU BETTER NOT FEEL BLUE
IF YOU’RE LOOKING FOR PERFECTION
I CAN ONLY DISAPPOINT YOU
WE’VE HAD SOME HARD TIME BABY BUT WE’VE SEEN ENOUGH
TO FEEL SECURE WHEN THE GOING GETS TOUGH
AND THOUGH WE’RE NOT SMART GIRL WE KNOW IT’S NOT ENOUGH
TO CLOSE OUR EYES AND PRAY FOR BETTER DAYS
IT DOESN’T MATTER WHAT YOU SAY NOW
IT DOESN’T MATTER WHAT YOU DO
IT DOESN’T MATTER WHERE YOU GO GIRL
I WANNA GO WITH YOU
IT DOESN’T MATTER WHAT YOU’RE FEELING I’M FEELING IT TOO
AND I’M SORRY IF YOU’RE HURTING I NEVER MEANT TO HURT YOU
WE’VE HAD SOME HARD TIME BABY BUT WE’VE SEEN ENOUGH
TO FEEL SECURE WHEN THE GOING GETS TOUGH
AND THOUGH WE’RE NOT SMART GIRL WE KNOW IT’S NOT ENOUGH
TO CLOSE OUR EYES AND PRAY FOR BETTER DAYS
I’D CLIMB THE HIGHEST MOUNTAIN I’D SWIM THE DEEPEST SEA
I’D BRING THE GOVERNMENT CRASHING DOWN AROUND ME
I’D GO THE EXTRA MILE FOR THE SIGHT OF YOUR SMILE
AND TO BRING MY BABY BACK TO ME

If Things Don't Change

WELL I CAN’T GET OUT OF BED
BECAUSE THERE’S TOO MUCH GOING ON IN MY HEAD
AND I CAN’T FACE ANOTHER DAY
IF THINGS DON’T CHANGE
BECAUSE THIS COUNTRY IS BEING RUN DOWN BY A CLOWN
WHO’S LIKE BRIAN RIX WITH HIS TROUSERS DOWN
BUT HE’S NOT FUNNY AND HE’S A LIAR
AND I CAN’T FALL INTO LINE AND HATE SOMEONE
WHOSE LANGUAGE AND CULTURE IS DIFFERENT TO MINE
NO I CAN’T GET OUT OF BED
BECAUSE THERE’S TOO MUCH GOING ON IN MY HEAD
AND I CAN’T FACE ANOTHER DAY
IF THINGS DON’T CHANGE
I SHOULD JUST GO OUT INTO THE NIGHT
HAND SOME-ONE MY COAT AS I READY TO FIGHT
RAISE MY VOICE UP TO THE SKY
AND WAVE MY BANNER HIGH
BUT THE ANGRY MAN OF MY YOUTH
JUST DISAPPEARED AND AIN’T THAT THE TRUTH
I’M ONLY HALF THAT MAN
JUST A SHADOW OF THAT MAN
AND IT’S RAINING POURING THIS WHOLE TOWN IS SNORING
I SHOULD BE BITING AND CLAWING
BUT I CAN’T GET OUT OF BED
BECAUSE THERE’S TOO MUCH GOING ON IN MY HEAD
AND I CAN’T FACE ANOTHER DAY IF THINGS DON’T CHANG

BUT WHEN I WAKE UP THE SUN STILL SHINES
AND THERE’ MAGIC WHEN YOUR EYES MEET MINE
THERE’S SO MUCH THAT I WANNA DO
AND I WANT TO DO IT ALL WITH YOU
LET’S DO SOMETHING THAT WE HAVEN’T PLANNED
YOU SAY AS YOU TAKE MY HAND
TAKE A BOAT OUT FOR A WHILE
AND I’LL ROW WHILE YOU LIE BACK IN STYLE
LET’S FORGET OUR WORRIES FOR ONE DAY
TIE THEM ALL TO A BIG BALLOON AND WATCH THEM FLOAT AWAY
LET’S FIND OURSELVES A BAR
AND LEAVE A NOTE SO OUR FRIENDS KNOW WHERE WE ARE
COS WE WANT TO SPEND OUR TIME WITH YOU
COME AN JOIN US FOR A DRINK OR TWO
LET’S FORGET OUR TROUBLES FOR ONE DAY
TIE THEM ALL TO A BIG BALLOON AND WATCH THEM FLOAT AWAY
LET’S FORGET OUR TROUBLES FOR ONE THING
WE CAN OPEN UP OUR HEARTS AND SING SING SING
SING IF YOU’RE GLAD TO BE GAY
OR IF YOU’RE STRAIGHT AND YOU’RE HAPPY
OR YOU DON’T CARE EITHER WAY
SING OUT TO PRAISE THE LORD
OR IF YOU DON’T BELIEVE IN NOTHING AT ALL
LET’S START OURSELVES A FIRE
HOLD HANDS AND LAUGH FOR A WHILE
DON’T YOU KNOW NOTHING CAN GO WRONG
COS YOU GOT ME AND WE’VE GOT THIS SONG

supported by 4 fans who also own “vanille”
Eggs On Mars are one of the most consistently great bands of recent times with a ramshackle charm all their own. The 2019 album “It Will Be Like It Was” was one of the best of recent times and Brighter Now is shaping up to be the best of 2021. If you dig Flying Nun, The Pastels, Jad Fair, The Velvets, Beat Happening etc you’ll find plenty to love here.
