ELEGANCE ON YOU I can’t promise you and I am going to tell you a lie but not kind of Lip service. I feel bad for you I have been so sarcastic, in front of you I am just nervous. I haven’t noticed you’ve got a bad taste I still think you are so elegant. I said I never show you my writings with my broken English, there is no intelligence I said to you “Please not to marry anyone who just takes an easy chance on you. And who never understand you are the one has got all those charms and elegance on you Elegance on you. I can’t stand up straight now for the memories and songs about foolish romance. I’ve got a hook on the dream that you ruined my days. I can’t keep my balance. Elegance on you ‘promise to make and break it too’ If any other chance for me. I would be a better man for you. Don’t let me down anymore Elegance on you. Elegance on you. Tomorrow we will go to the church on the little hill. We will see so famous archangel stand still. You may speak in tongues and cure someone’s ill. I’ve had enough for that. But elegance on you. Elegance on you But elegance on you. Elegance on you Written by Tomokazu Date

Brown Paper 03:09
Brown paper 'Please reply oh my love' She wrote it under her name She had many letters but she always out of home. I get annoyed with something like she said She wants to go Rome. 'if you want to love me I need your fame so this is the game" Well she asked me where is our paradise? Please say something! you've got a trouble. and I wanna try to help you even if you so such a shameful things. I really don't care she said you always pretend to cry All I want to know is how can she try to love them? I know she is in love somebody else. Now Brown paper crumpled with her tears. She's the set of fire for the wheels of fate and fears. Don't you cry anymore. I know you are out of tears. I can't stop loving you until the end of this beautiful world. run la run la la la run la run la la la run la run la la la

Red Bicycle 05:25
Red Bicycle All of my life had been going as slowly as a snail. I have no good idea, I have no any idea though I snipped out of my fingernails. Well, I think of you every day by day, Can I have something out of my hand. Red Bicycle I need the Red Bicycle to turn out of cycles. I just want you! Red Bicycle I need the Red Bicycle to turn out of cycles. I just want it for getting into my head! (Em-E7sus4/Em-E7sus4/Em-E7sus4/Em-E7sus4/Am/Am/Em-E7sus4) Please don't talk to me now about your long stories. I can't stand it anymore. Please don't' take me out with your beautiful motorcar, I can see me gone to a nightmare. Well, I used to take a sleeping pill on late night. Your smiling face is melting away to the milky sky. Red Bicycle I need the Red Bicycle to turn out of cycles. I just want you! Red Bicycle I need the Red Bicycle to turn out of cycles. I just want it to get into my head! (C/G/C/G/C/G/C/G/G) In the newspaper, I saw "the fear escaped" ! I couldn't understand and I couldn't bear to the worldfull of hopelessness and that savageness. (Your sense of humor is almost killing me, why don't you look around Mr. Lonely. ) (D/G/D/C-Em-G/D/G/D/C-Em-G/C-Em-G) Red Bicycle I need the Red Bicycle to turn out of cycles. I just want you! Red Bicycle I need the Red Bicycle to turn out of cycles. I just want it for get into my head!

Swaddle 07:07
Swaddle Some other day I think of you. You were rushing this way for the Parallel world's lover. And I came down here after big footprints, who made it. I really don't know and I really don't care. I was an Angel of you, I can see no my vanishing point. Those winding road, I fall down on the street alley. I think I hate I bought the cheap heartache like I drink sour milk when I was a child. Cho. You will sweep me down on, oh Angel. and I am so afraid of being wrapped with those swaddling clothes. If you've got to swaddle me, oh Angel. Please don’t let me take upon the throne. You will take me down oh Angel And you complete your mission and throw the horse of ashes. I think of next year I am going to be old enough to be in love with someone like every people in this world. I don't want to hear your whole holy life story. Like Someone wins and someone lost in no reason. Every mother's prospect for their dear child, They’ve got the silver wings and they try to get the sun. Sometimes I feel very low down, but there should be another way, there should be other light shining through Cho. You will sweep me down on, oh Angel. and I am so afraid of being wrapped with those swaddling clothes. If you've got to swaddle me, oh Angel. Please don’t let me take upon the throne. You will take me down oh Angel And you complete your mission and throw the horse of ashes. Cho. You will sweep me down on, oh Angel. and I am so afraid of being wrapped with those swaddling clothes. If you've got to swaddle me, oh Angel. Please don’t let me take upon the throne. You will take me down oh Angel And you complete your mission and throw the horse of ashes.

Sunday School's Old Piano That time was chasing this boy who never return to those days. That boy has got a miracle like 'turn the water into good wine' He never thought he only had to save those castaways. He ever thought he could get anything out of his prayer. and also He was a player of Sunday School's old piano. We were singing the song of old melody. I know you know he wanted to know how could he play  those difficult keys. Also his life same as piano How could he play in difficult keys! That boy used to stumble on the street so many times And his girlfriend left him there until very next morning. No No what you want to do. Don't tell me you should live in the way. Don't you try to redeem the world from sin and damnation. and also He was a player of Sunday School's old piano. We were singing the song of old melody. I know you know he wanted to know how could he play in difficult keys. Also his life same as piano How could he play in difficult keys!

Sweet Talk 03:43
Sweet Talk Subi do bi do bi dou pa Pa, Subi do bi do bi dou pa Pa, La La la la la la la I’ve got feeling and good time. You get me down and said Good-bye. You never telephone since last summer You went to Europe and stay where is good for you. But all those Postcard cut me down, down, down I stick around I had to go somewhere, somewhere special. But how can I leave this town where I had memories of you. You know I can’t shoot my green eyed monster off. Sweet Talk gets in-between my teeth. Sweet Talk gets in-between my teeth. Sweet Talk get me to underneath. Sweet Talk I won’t be fool around. La La la la la la la It is been so long time I haven’t seen you since we started to feel in that way of life without you. We didn’t want to hurt each other, Though we didn’t hope for something good coming like Candyfloss. We get it at the local fun fair. We used to have a laugh and fun and fancy-free. Sweet Talk gets in-between my teeth. Sweet Talk gets in-between my teeth. Sweet Talk get me to underneath. Sweet Talk I won’t be fool around. Is there something I should say more enough. I think there is nothing, nothing to lose. We deserve for the everlasting love. So we must take it. Take it, take it. But you won’t fake it, no you won’t take it. Wooo---. La La la la la la la

Just No Defense I don’t wanna kiss you I don’t wanna dance with you I don’t wanna touch you I don’t wanna stay with you Because my love has got no point that you don’t love me I tried to make up your mind and tried to trust me But you never understood me. And you used to say that ‘ Oh Think about your mother!’ What do you mean by that? Please don’t bother you don’t love me like you used to Just no defense Just no Action Oh No offense but Just no reaction. It’s enough said and enough done and I can’t take it. You show your muddy hand and I can’t do anything ‘That’s unfair’ well how could you say to me ‘Don’t move further distance you made it for You are not a lover but In fact, I still love you Just no defense Just no Action Oh No offense but Just no reaction. You put on me and you put me out like everyday people I think you come from the outer space and there is no love.

He is a society man He was called the man of out time for his mushroom cut, He couldn’t change his idea and his radical set. He used to walk in the Regent’s Park with his silly hat. One day He has brought the colorful psychedelic mat At the Camden Market where he lived nearby And On the boat, he used to throw the black quoit. He is so society man. He has a thousand names in his visitor book Sometimes he speaks little French for the Kids walk past his door. He studied the criminal law and Criminology and he also check out for behavioral biology He cries out for his life could be more aristocratic. But He is a drug addict and he likes to be Sherlock. He has surrounded by the world moves so slow and quiet. Would he be found by the nature full of mystic light? He is so society man. He is a hero of his own kingdom. Sometimes he says he wanted to be born in far eastern Europe. He is so society man. He is a hero of his own kingdom. Sometimes he says he wanted to be born as Dutch and in Amsterdam.

My Fanciful Story Wow ~ Wow Wow Oh She went out so far away and she’s got one spare room for the pool of tears. Now I don’t smoke cos Smoke makes ash. All turns gray and acting miserably. Ho ho hold on I holds on her suitcase. Spin out my head said by Orange hare. I hope I pray someday soon the Rabbit help me to get out of here. Homebound express on the way. Oh My Fanciful Story, Just like Alice’s story Wonderland and Glory. Just like your wonderful story. When I was a little boy, everybody said to me. You look so old like one in Vanity Fair. I don’t wanna see no, see no evil and the serious moon at night. They have got the pocketful of jokes Golden afternoon at the queen’s croquet-garden all hearts made a line. Through the looking-glass I see you. Holy oh but don’t play the game they do. Oh My Fanciful Story, Just like Alice’s story Wonderland and Glory. Just like your wonderful story.

All of This 04:13
All of this Yes I know I can be taking the liberties of Open your mind there is no full of guarantees! I want to talk with Mrs.Grundy. But I wouldn't like to sip of old brandy. Hey, you are candy boy! Stop making sense of humor. Where were you? when I was chasing the rumor. ‘Don’t you move!’ I said to the town’s mover. Yes, I could be so talkative and a murderer. It's all of this. It's all of that. It's nothing at all before something changes. It's all of this. It's all of that. It's nothing at all before something changes. Just a little bit It's the flowering season of our mind. it's wonderful reason we all could be kind. It’s kind of medicine for unstable mind something that poisoned I took, then I fainted. The wild wise boy moves in the traitor’s house. All of the gleemen was singing for the child’s head. It should be a peaceful life on my table for my next life It's all of this. It's all of that. It's nothing at all before something changes. It's all of this. It's all of that. It's nothing at all before something changes. Just a little bit Oh oh oh oh oh
