Album: SLADE IN FLAME

How Does It Feel ?

How does it feel runnin' around round round
How does it feel watchin' from upside down
Cos many years from now there will be new sensations
And new temptations
How does it feel
How does it feel right at the start
And how does it feel when you are thrown apart
Cos many years from now there will be new elations
And new frustrations
How does it feel?
Oh! Oh!
Chorus
Do you know know know what it's like to be searchin' in your own time
All your attempting experimenting all on the climb
Do you know know know what it's like to be searchin' and suddenly find
All your illusion, all your confusion all left behind
How does it feel turnin' away
And how does it feel facing another day
Cos many years from now there will be newer poisons
And new horizons
How does it feel?
Oh! Oh! Oh!
Chorus
Do you know know know what it's like to be searchin' in your own time
All your attempting experimenting all on the climb
Do you know know know what it's like to be searchin' and suddenly find
All your illusion, all your confusion all left behind
Cos many years from now there will be new tomorrows
And still some sorrows
How does it feel?
Oh! Oh! Oh!
Chorus
Do you know know know what it's like to be searchin' in your own time
All your attempting experimenting all on the climb Oh!
Do you know know know what it's like to be searchin' and suddenly find
All your illusion, all your confusion all left behind

Them Kinda Monkeys Can't Swing
Holder/Lea

Everywhere has a wheeler an' dealer
Raised in the back streets of town
Everywhere has a spieler who's a clown
Every haunt has a hustler an' bustler
Born with the tongue of a snake
Every haunt has a muscler on the make
Chorus
Them kinda monkeys can't swing
And them birdies can't sing
If them pigs could fly
Maybe they'd fly away from me
Them kinda monkeys can't swing
And them birdies can't sing
If them pigs could fly
Maybe they'd fly away from me
Everywhere has a ducker an' diver
Doin' his best to impress
Everywhere has a sciver in a mess
Every place has a joker at poker
Born with a marked deck of cards
Every place has a smoker in the yards
Chorus
Them kinda monkeys can't swing
And them birdies can't sing
If them pigs could fly
Maybe they'd fly away from me
Them kinda monkeys can't swing
And them birdies can't sing
If them pigs could fly
Maybe they'd fly away from me
Repeat Chorus

So Far So Good
Holder/Lea

For twenty odd years I've taken everything that's bad
For twenty odd years I've wanted things I've never had
Oh was it all in the mind?
Is it living the life of a King making the best out of everything
Chorus
So far, so good doing what we could
Taking chances, those chances, and I'm alive
So far, so good doing what we should
Taking chances, those chances, and I'm alive
For twenty odd years I've been working hard to have my say
And now that it's here the fantasy has worn away
Oh was it all in the mind?
Is it living on Paradise Row making the best out of having a go
Chorus
So far, so good doing what we could
Taking chances, those chances, and I'm alive
So far, so good doing what we should
Taking chances, those chances, and I'm alive
Was it all in the mind?
Is it living the life of a King making the best out of everything
Chorus
So far, so good doing what we could
Taking chances, those chances, and I'm alive
So far, so good doing what we should
Taking chances, those chances, and I'm alive
I'm alive
And I'm alive
I'm alive

Summer Song (Wishing You Were Here)
Holder/Lea

Ev'rybody needs a by the sea affair
Where you get the urge from something in the air
Helter Skelter on a mat "Kiss me Quick" is on my hat
And you do it on the ghost train for a dare
Chorus
Wishing you were here same as ev'ry year
Cos our summer madness is too short
Wishing you were here where the sunshine's near
Is it true that wishes can be bought
Ev'rybody needs the moonlight on the beach
Where the water's cold and no one hears you screech
Getting buried in the sand what you holding in your hand
Let it go or else I'll keep it out of reach
Chorus
Wishing you were here same as ev'ry year
Cos our summer madness is too short
Wishing you were here where the sunshine's near
Is it true that wishes can be bought
The last night you dressed to kill
Will you write? You say you will
Sometimes hopes just drift away
Ev'rybody needs to have a sea romance
When the world around just doesn't stand a chance
Candy floss stuck on your nose and you donkey's name was Rose
What's this cheek to cheek in ev'ry single dance
Chorus
Wishing you were here same as ev'ry year
Cos our summer madness is too short
Wishing you were here where the sunshine's near
Is it true that wishes can be bought

O.K. Yesterday Was Yesterday
Holder/Lea

Boys get tight ooh what a sight ready to use their charms
Girls just might stay out all night ain't gonna do 'em no harm
Lady Luck will do what she oughta
No place left to lock up your daughter
No way out time's getting shorter
Makin' sure your life carries on
Chorus
I say O.K. Yesterday was yesterday
I say O.K. today's a better day
I say O.K. Yesterday was yesterday
I say O.K. today's a better day
All young boys play with their toys, call it a teddy bear
Girls instead take theirs to bed to keep it from getting scared
Lady Luck will do what she oughta
No place left to lock up your daughter
No way out time's getting shorter
Makin' sure your life carries on
Chorus
I say O.K. Yesterday was yesterday
I say O.K. today's a better day
I say O.K. Yesterday was yesterday
I say O.K. today's a better day
Boys get tight out for a fight, love kickin' up a din
Girls just might know how to bite hug 'em and they'll soon give in
Lady Luck will do what she oughta
No place left to lock up your daughter
No way out time's getting shorter
Makin' sure your life carries on
Chorus
I say O.K. Yesterday was yesterday
I say O.K. today's a better day
I say O.K. Yesterday was yesterday
I say O.K. today's a better day
Repeat Chorus
