Son of Corsica, born apart The glory of France seared on my heart Though my 51 years seem short to you My time was not mine, and there's nothing we can do Tuscan nobility thrust from my home Made my own legacy, built my own throne Freedom financial, fearsome fighters Lighting the flame of my empire Victory, dominion 'til Waterloo The Old Guard defeated, there's nothing we can do There's nothing There's nothing Brought peace to the masses, no sovereignty My will made their fortune, my code bound them to me Exile and infamy were what I was due My kingdom, an island, there's nothing we can do My return to power was very short-lived The captors called, but my wife never did A glorious home-coming but a cut-short coup Defeated, I retreated, there's nothing we can do Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh There's nothing There's nothing There's nothing There's nothing I died on St. Helena, forsaken by friends Let history judge my worth in the end From an unmarked grave to a glorious tomb My story has ended, there's nothing we can do

Postcards and letters T-shirts and sweaters Passports and Parkas Mobiles and chargers Two tennis rackets Blue Rizla packets A new sheep-skin jacket I lost it all All through my life there have been Many rare and precious things I have tried to call mine But I just cannot seem To keep hold of anything For more than a short time Possessions of a sentimental kind They were mine, now they're not Gym-kits and trainers Asthma inhalers Silk-cuts and Bennies Ten-packs and twenties C-class narcotics Antibiotics The holes in my pockets I lost it all All that I'd like is to know Just where do those lost things go? When they slip from my hands Then one night in a dream I passed through a sheepskin screen To a green, pleasant land I found them all piled up into the sky And I cried tears of joy

It was not that long ago it first occurred to me That my mother was a person in her own right And now I realize how very lucky I have been And there, but for the grace of God, go I, go I Mother dear, she can see inside Mother dear, and I've nowhere to hide Mother dear, did I spoil your plans? Mother dear, I do the best I can When I was a teenager, I really did believe That my parents had adopted me And the way I carried on they must have thought They'd brought the wrong little baby home from maternity Well, I'd like to say I'm sorry but my Mother dear, she already knows Mother dear, she'll never let me go Mother dear, kept me warm and safe Mother dear, I'll never lose my faith in mother dear If I ever get arrested by the C.I.A. Because they take me for a foreign spy They won't need no lie-detector, all they'll have to do Is make me look into my mother's eyes And I'll tell them anything they like Mother dear, she can see inside Mother dear, and I've nowhere to hide Mother dear, kept me warm and safe Mother dear, I'll never lose my faith in mother dear Mother dear, mother dear My mother dear Mother dear, did I spoil your plans? Mother dear, I do the best I can

Give me your love And I'll give you the perfect lovesong With a divine Beatles bassline And a big old Beach Boys sound I'll match you pound for pound Like heavy-weights in the final round We'll hold on to each other So we don't fall down Give me a wink And I'll give you what I think you're after With just one kiss I will whisk you away To where angels often tread We'll paint this planet red We'll stumble back to our hotel bed And make love to each other 'Til we're half dead Maybe now you can see Just what you mean to me Give me your love And I'll give you the perfect lovesong Give me your word That you'll be true to me always come what may Forever and a day No matter what other people may say We'll hold on to each other 'Til we're old and grey
