Think about the good times
Think about the people you love
Think about the sun that is gone
Think digital, synthisise, computerise, think visual

This is our lot,
This is private, please get off my line.
This is really heavy weather
This is Surbiton, Surbiton. The train at Platform Two is for Wimbledon and Waterloo only.
This is the age of machinery,

This is the end of civilization
This is the end, this is the last time,
This is the morning after (2) (3) (4) (5) (6)

This world is spinning and turning
Thomas A'Becket, Thomas Moore, and don't forget the Kray twins
Those ducks are getting up my nose.
Those economic vultures
Those endless days, those sacred days you gave me. (2) (3)
Those great, so great
Those happy days we spent together
Those juvenile fantasies and innocent dreams we shared.
Those killer's eyes (2) (3) (4)
Those other romances come and go,
Those scattered clues she left behind
Those Sunday dinners that we had at home
Those that faded, (2)
Those that made it, (2)
Those that never even made the grade, (2)
Those that we thought would never last. (2)
Those who laughed were not friends anyway.
Though all the children have gone away
Though at the time they filled me with dismay.
Though everybody tried their best,
Though he was big and fat,
Though he would like to try
Though I ain't got a beanie
Though I am poor, I am free
Though I didn't know you yesterday. (2)
Though I don't even know your name.
Though I knew it was my dad
Though it's cold outside
Though it's scattered in the world beyond
Though Maria is not lovely,
Though my hills are not green,
Though she's far from home
Though the past is just a blink away,
Though the world was hard and its ways were set
Though we seem together, it's breaking my heart.
Though you are hot, forget me not
Though you say goodbye.
Thought I was brave till I saw
Thought I was cured but here it comes again
Thought that you were my friend
Thought this empire would be here
Thought you were fooling around, now it's too late to say I'm sorry
Thousand on raft, cold French fries (2)
Thousand on raft, cold French fries,
Thousands into millions, millions into billions
Thousands of people passing through,
Thousands of trees
Three bags full Sir
Three days to kill and my per diem's getting low
Threw back all the beads at the parade
Threw the Christians to the lions, sold out every night
Through a misty, silky screen.
Through all of your difficulties
Through it all we were scattered
Through the bright city lights,
Through the dark alley-ways and passages of London, London
Through the poverty and grime
Through the shadows of the moonlight, I walk my beat.
Through the storms and hurricanes we rode
Through the wall of fire (2)
Through this sleepless night. (2)
Throw out imperfection,
Thunder and lightning. (2) (3) (4)
Thunder clap smoke a frightnin',
Tickling their fancy,
Tidy ladies shine their shoes.
Till from the earth we are torn
Till I find myself a home
Till she walked the streets of the big black smoke,
Till the end of the day (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) (8) (9)
Till the office blocks and parking lots
Till then I've got nothing to ease my mind,
Till then the jet stream up above
Till there's mass contamination.
Till they're walking round like flies man
Till we go sleep at night
Till we meet again bravely walk the line
Till you at last became a star.
Till you can't take any more
Time and space and why world's move
Time goes by and he pays off his debts
Time goes by and people change
Time goes by but we never forget
Time goes by it takes us all,
Time has come for a new crusade
Time has gone and nothing ever can replace
Time is as fast as the slowest thing,
Time was on our side and I had everything to gain
Time won't wait
Times are hard but we'll all survive
Times are rough,
Times like this, I just drift away
Times will be hard, rain will fall (2)
Tip-toeing on the great high wire (2)
Tired of looking at wealthy faces
Tired of waiting (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) (8) (9) (10) (11) (12)
Tired of waiting for you (2) (3) (4) (5) (6)
To a city that is really too hot,
To a land of bananas and sand
To a new depth
To a new horizon
To a new life, a new dawn
to a stab in the back.
To a time when he was so young and green
To a worrying mind
To an atomic mind
to appear as if in a dream
To be a cut price person in a low budget land
To be repaid a hundred percent.
To be yourself you have to put on an act.
To bring some money home to you.
To build a better world for me and you.
To build a better world, a new society
To catch a kissable lady,
To change the world.
To clear the storm away,
To cramp your style and blow your cover
To cross the other side.
To do it all again
To do the Idiot Jack
To drink her afternoon tea
To dust away the cobwebs of your mind.
To every fella that she met.
To feed the reporter with your views
To find, to find, you're mine...
To follow a Mercedes Benz?
To get a better deal for yourself,
To get a better deal for yourself. (2)
To get away from another full moon.
To get away from that stormy sky.
To get background for his songs.
To grow wild and sleep rough
To have a happy home once more.
To have a little holiday today, holiday,
To have a little holiday.
To have educated muscles and bones.
To help classify my disease,
To help improve the circulation
To help uncomplicate my life,
To his worn out seventy-eights.
To hit New York City
To impress my peers I struck a creative stance
To keep the wealthy fat.
To let the inside out
To lift me up from the ground
To live in a world without suffering and pain
To live on the land.
To live together,
To live within our artificial world. (2)
To look at all the little girls.
To make it perfectly clear.
To make me still want you (2) (3)
To make you feel ashamed,
To make your body move.
To me you are gorgeous,
To meet their children coming home from school
To meet your own demands,
To my island in the sun
To my tropical fantasy
To Oklahoma U.S.A.,
To our play
To press my trousers and polish my shoes
To protect her and him I've used a pseudonym,
To prove, who we know
To pull it back together
To put that music out of her head.
To put you straight about the rumors they're spreading about me back home.
To raise your expectations
To relieve your situation
To satisfy my appetite.
To satisfy your appetite.
To Scrapheap City. (2) (3)
To see first hand the brand new start you made
To see if anybody was there.
To see my baby (2) (3)
To see my rise and see my fall
To see Piccadilly,
To see what life's cut out for me
To send him to the brink
To share my little holiday,
To shoot the bloodstains on the pavement
To sleep
To spend my time
To stand where light can find us
To start another day
To stop the truth, so tell your lies
To syncopate and celebrate the U.K. Jive.
To take me away. (2) (3) (4)
To take you as I find you
To take you in my arms and tell you to stop all your sobbing
To that island of my dreams
To that little, that little semi-detached
To the cripples and the beggars
To the earth you are scattered
To the fields we are scattered (2)
To the rock stars of the past, (2)
To the sound of Livin' La Vida Loca
To the sound of the tourists in the casino
To the things I used to know.
To the wives and the lovers and friends who had their time
To their depot in south Wales
To them you're just a speck of dirt
To think that we would always be,
To those bright city lights.
To those damaged limitations
To those family celebrations?
To titty bars and low life clubs
To use your natural gifts, you got natural gifts, yeh
To wear at all her social affairs
To your friends and family
Today has got to be a good day, (2)
Today is gonna be a good day, (2) (3) (4)
Together now!
Together on this special day
Together we can find a way (2)
Together we can find a way.
Tom is as bold as the knights of old
Tomorrow I'll be back in the race, till then
Tomorrow I shall become Norman,
Tomorrow we'll laugh about it;
Too bad for them, too bad for mine
Too far this time.
