01. Nirvana

Music by The Cult
Lyrics by Ian Astbury and Billy Duffy
I float through day and night life, well most of the time
Till I hung up my blues on a nail in your wall
It rained flowers when the music began
Love all around when the music is loud

Every day, nirvana
Always this way, yeah, yeah, yeah
I wish that every day, nirvana
Always this way

I'm not looking for girls or cheap thrills and pills
Or happy to sit on your merry-go-round, no, no
I don't think there's an easy way out of here
But when the music is loud, we all get down

Every day, nirvana
Always this way, always this way, yeah
I wish that every day was like nirvana
Always this way

Take it here, now
Run this through your head

Oh, every day, nirvana
Always this way, yeah, yeah, yeah
I wish that every, like the sun, nirvana
Always this way, oh yeah, yeah

Every day, nirvana
Always this way, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Every, like the sun, nirvana
Always this way, oh yeah

Every day, nirvana
Always this way, oh yeah, yeah
I wish that every, like the sun, nirvana
Always this way
Nirvana

02. Big Neon Glitter

Music by The Cult
Lyrics by Ian Astbury and Billy Duffy
Oh, drag me back and drag me back
And drag me back, drag me back, drag me back
Through the revolution, without solution
And the walls get taller
While you get smaller, while we get smaller
The fear is getting taller

A big neon glitter pushes onto you, oh baby
Sex from the hip at the crack of a whip, oh yeah
The wall gets taller while you get smaller, yeah
Push against the big neon glitter, pushes onto you
None may indeed go out

Oh, drag me back, drag me back
And drag me back, drag me back, drag me back
Through the revolution without solution
And the wall gets taller
While you get smaller, while you get smaller
The fear is getting taller

Neon glitter onto you, oh baby
Sex from the hip at the crack of a whip, oh yeah
The wall gets taller while you get smaller, yeah, yeah, yeah
A big neon glitter pushes onto you, oh baby

Yeah

A big neon, a big neon
A big neon glitter
A big neon glitter
A big neon, a big neon
A big neon glitter
A big neon glitter
A big neon glitter

03. Love

Music by The Cult
Lyrics by Ian Astbury and Billy Duffy
C'mon now
Wanna dig the scene?

Love, obviously, very soon, everybody
Love, obviously, very soon, everybody

Oh, why don't you love that sweet time?
Oh, why don't you love that sweet time?

I spent a long time in this road
I spent a long time in this town
I spent a long time in the road
I spent a long time in this town

Gonna drive away in a big fast car
Gonna drive away, won't get too far
Gonna drive away, don't know how far
Gonna drive away in a big fast car

Love, obviously, very soon, everybody
Love, obviously, very soon, everybody

Oh, why don't you love that sweet time?
Oh, why don't you love that sweet time?

Spent a long time in your hole
I spent a long time in the wrong hole
I spent a long time in this town
I spent a long time in my town

Gonna drive away in a big fast car
Gonna drive away, won't get too far
Gonna drive away, won't get too far
Gonna drive away, don't know how far

How far, oh yeah, in this town
In my town, in my town, that's just my fee

Love, love, love
I've been lookin' for the grand conditions in her heart

Love, love
Little bit of love, don't you require?
Little bit of love, don't you require?
Love, love, love

Yeah
Oh, dig this

Like the heat from a thousand suns that burns on
Rising ever higher
A phoenix from a pyre

The pleasures getting wilder
Circling ever higher

08. Revolution

Music by The Cult
Lyrics by Ian Astbury and Billy Duffy
Seen pictures of never ending dreams
I can't see what these images mean
Locked inside me
Can't set the rainbows free
Like perishin' flowers
They sag and twist and die

There's a revolution
There's a revolution, yea
There's a revolution
There's a revolution

Joy or sorrow
What does revolution mean to you?
To say today's like wishing in the wind
All my beautiful friends have all gone away
Like the waves
They flow and ebb and die

There's a revolution
There's a revolution
There's a revolution
There's a revolution, yea yea

Joy or sorrow
What does revolution mean to you?
To say today's like wishing in the wind
All my beautiful friends have all gone away
Like the waves
They flow and ebb and die

There's a revolution

10. Black Angel

Music by The Cult
Lyrics by Ian Astbury and Billy Duffy
A fugitive has been away so long
A thousand years and now he thinks of home
The long men are waiting in their wings
To put him in chains upon his return

Emptiness his bitterness is gone
Journey on to the eternal reward

It's a long way to go, a black angel at your side
It's a long way to go, a black angel at your side

The sirens call a sailor to die
Enchanted by the sound, his desires have been found
In his mind his life is rushing by
All this while the storm it rages on

He's turning old, he shall never return
Sail on to the eternal reward

It's a long way to go, a black angel at your side
It's a long way to go, with an angel at your side
It's a long way to go, with the reaper at your side
It's a long way to go, a black angel at your side

A fugitive has been away so long
A thousand years and now he thinks of home
The long men are waiting in the wings
To put him in chains upon his return

Emptiness, his bitterness is gone
Journey on to the eternal reward

Oh, no never
Oh, no never
Oh, no no

It's a long way to go, a black angel at your side
It's a long way to go, with an angel at your side
It's a long way to go, with the reaper at your side
It's a long way to go, with an angel at your side

At your side, it's a long
It's a long, long, long goodbye
It's a long, long, long goodbye
