LYRICS:

Did I tell you today that I love ya
or did the donkey work get in the way
there's no time for squeezing oranges
no time for waltzing today

It's not quite the dream I had for ya
I promised three summers ago
I didn't mean you to cry
oh my sweet butterfly
there's no time for waltzing today

I'm calloused and scarred but I love you
The field fare have flown from the brae
my fingers are froze as i fight my way home
there's no time for waltzing today

It's not quite the dream I had for ya
I promised three summers ago
there's no time for squeezing oranges
No time for waltzing today

Did I tell you today that I love ya
or did the donkey work get in the way
I didn't mean you to cry
oh my sweet butterfly
there's no time, for waltzing today

and when the last bus has gone
and the donkey works done
there's no time for waltzing today

Squeezing Oranges - Steve Jones

Lyrics:

I'm gonna download the universe
got to get a few things straight
I'm gonna learn it word for word
read between the lines

With the giants and the kings
with the saints and the sinners I will sing
and with the romans and the celts
we'll get a few things straight

[I'm gonna download the universe 
and get a few things straight] x3

And if I had a way with words
I'd read the writing on the wall
I'd raise up my colours
and put a few things straight

I'm gonna hitch a ride with time
I'll carbon date my fate
until the bells of freedom chime
then put a few things straight

[I'm gonna download the universe 
and get a few things straight] x3

If you should whisper in my ear
if we were half a million strong
then we could blow away all fear
and put a few things straight

[I'm gonna download the universe 
and get a few things straight] x3

Download The Universe - Steve Jones

Lyrics:

I got a one night stand
I got a grand in my hand
but tonight
I'm sad as hell

I got a photograph
Of a girl with a ring in her hand
but tonight
I'm a one man band

I'm inside out like a lovers name
written on the back of a window pane
upside down like a man insane
broken like a brolly in the pouring rain

I used to be a somebody
a paid up member of society
but now, now i'm slow like candy

I've got the devil in me
I got a head full of songs
I got love in my veins 
I got something to say

Yeah I used to be a player
In the devils band
The ground wasn't level fate took my hand
and now, now I'm slow like candy

Slow Like Candy - Steve Jones

LYRICS:

[and she sways to the rhythm 
of the great composers
yeah she moves to the sound
of something older
she can stand up straight
till she falls right over] *vs1

takes a swig or two of apple juice
she says it makes it feel real
and then she shines like a knife
on a sharpening wheel

and she wears pretty green
she bought a ticket for a seat
now she can dream
[on the last bus baby to the place
where the sun goes down] x2

she said i won't hold my breath
for a better world
she says a worse world is bound
that's why i'm on the last bus
baby to the place where
the sun goes down

she's in the deep deep rush of lust
on the back of a late night bus
she's on the last bus baby to the place
where the sun goes down

and she plays rough guitar
lives her life just like a human should
she saws her fiddle like a piece of wood

vs1 x 2

[yeah she stands up straight 
till she falls right over
yeah we all stand up straight till we fall right over] x2


We All Fall Over - Steve Jones

LYRICS:
I'm not looking for trouble
i'm not looking for revenge
there's my white flag
blowing in the wind

I put my knees down 
to the sand
I sing songs of dissent
i sing hard times
and this land is ours

and with the predators and prey
and those songs i thought had gone away
i mark my time day by day
and as i stand upon this earth
i am branded i am guilty i am cursed
i'm not the last i'm not the first

I'm not looking for trouble
i'm not looking for revenge
there's my white flag
blowing in the wind

but i know that you don't give
and I know that you don't live
and you know the things you say i don't believe
your ramblings nothing more than words to me

you question my religion
you question my decisions
did you think i was so easily deceived
did you think you were easily believed

well shall we gather by the sea
agree or disagree
in a bare knuckle cage you and me
in a bare knuckle cage you and me

Steve Jones - St Ives, Cornwall
