Where can I stand in my uniform
Cannon fodder-six foot tall
Big and brave, next to my grave
Wait patiently for the death of me
CHORUS
Swings and roundabouts on unfairgrounds
Ground in the ground on the merry-go-rounds
Blood and toil swim well in oil
And you and me the perfect foil
Unfield units to invest
Patriots do not protest
CHORUSThe weight of the world on your shoulders
A brass monkey on your back
As beautiful gardenia boulders-or
Dead meat hung on a rock
Bigger the man, bigger the desk
Questioning your IQ test
Are you now so easily led
And lose the brains inside your head
CHORUS
(Vamp) weight of the world on your shoulders
Boulders on your boack-wait patiently
For the death of me
Could have been a major problem
But i did not-I didn't look back
And all you dirty druggies
Chicken shit-sad sacks
Rewriting history
Tampering in my story
Standing in my shadow
But still so pale, so shallow
Think tank, winner takes all, loser takes blank
Think tank: burning off steam, I'll let you dream
Dream onMother nature's kind regards
Balancing the house of cards
Assuming and consuming
Of the peg commodities
The politics of common sense
Violence as self defense
Smiles and metaphors
The languages of lesser whores
I might no know much-but I know all this
Did you think-I would not notice
Love loves money-and delights in praise
Easy money as a virtue, watch it quickly fade
And it could have been a problem
But I did not-I don't look back
CHORUS
Drawing you in drawing you on
Leading you in taking you on
I can see potential
I can see intention
With a pocket full of seeds
Hope keeps me alive
I can see contention
Financing situations
And maybe may never be
CHORUSNothing comes from nothing
No wisdom than the silence
Negotiable affections
Even lovers need lessons
CHORUS
Love bites trivia severely
It has to be treated with respect
And-taken seriously-seriously-lonely
I want to belong
CHORUS
I can only feel and think in the language of
Cliches otheres have concocted for you
Prefabricated pre-conception
Worn like the walls around you
All around you
How good to walk-with the caprice of God
How good to talk-with the caprice of God
Build your ivory tower
So you can scratch the sky
How could I forget that, you're not finished yet and that
All that you have done, still adding up the sum
This totem has some use, the total of abuse
Real life is never used as truth
Angry artillery on your tongue
Bows and arrows highly strung
Same shadow I can see right through
Whenever I picture you
How good to walk-with the caprice of God
How good to talk-with the caprice of God
An ordinary human-an ordinary mortal, and ordinary model
Build your ivory tower-so you can touch the sky
Don't hide inside the sentiment
The real test is never finished yet
Face up, collect the interest
Of all the idiots you should detest
How good to walk-with the caprice of God
How good to talk-with the caprice of God
An ordinary human-an ordinary mortal-
An ordinary model
Is there a king that can do no wrong
The crown that sings its very own song
When I play my fiddle-will I see you dance
You crack the whip-and I'll break the lance
CHORUS
You make me feel like an emperor
You make me feel so proud and sure
So secure from the familiar
Uncommon sense is the great leveller
An emperor-we need you
An emperor-we need you
Best to flatter the devil-than fight him
The weak heart hidden-in weaker sin
An occupation is as good as land
In you I have a kingdom in the palm of my hand
CHORUS
Even a speckle of sand
Can be dangerous in the right handDon't want to be no inflexible flake
If I'm standing too brittle-I know that I'll break
And all the doors-I broke inot
And all the doors-I opened for you
I've seen too many crack at the seams
I need the wonder of all my wet dreams
The chance to put heaven back on earth
And lift the hammer-lift the curse
CHORUS
Little fears keep us in chains
And throw away thoughts, flushed down the drains
Sweet poetry
CHORUS
Body and soul-an animal
As a sword-swing double edged
Dig deep down-that monthly frown
You have the tools-to make men fools
Cleopatra-the rat catcher
Preambling-eyeball shopping
You're measuring-your next victim
Too good to be sin-far too entertaining
She said the most evil thing
I can do
Is to give my body to youIn silhouette-the suffragette
Behind the scenes-the deadly schemes
Your best nightmare-without a prayer
>From ship to shore-paramour l'amour
Inside our head-22 lead
The modern miss-with modern gifts
In tragedy-hilarity
Never sin-far too entertaining
Some unions are based on trust
Some unions are a must
Trussed up like a turkey
Upside down on a turn key-you and me
some like it on the other side
Others like to play both sides
CHORUS
Big Girls big joys big toys
I got you covered
I got you covered
I'll give you gristle-you blow the whistle
Waiter service-wait for this miss
And don't you diss this-this is bliss miss
Around the world with this Miss
Disgusting lewd rudeness
Secretly seductive, spontaneous combustive
Happiness a penis-I give I give I give...
CHORUSYou can wear high heals in unusual places
And different situations can fit into new faces
Somebody's like to roll in a sleaze
Never mind me-just do as you please
All these implications
All these connotations
The pleasure in the leisure
Without the complications
CHORUS
I give I give I give...
What does it mean, what does anything mean
Sending out signals I see the smoke screens
What is not dirty, what is not clean
What should we not hear, what shouldn't be seen
Running off verbals like a runaway truck
Who censors the censor, can I do that myself
Make up my own mind like anyone else
Forget me, forget me not
Remember me like acid drops
Mind over morals, anything banned
The zealots are marching with Bible in hand
Keyed to the roof 100 proof
Some of them hairpins, some of them clams
Desperate Susans, desperate Dans
Who censors the censor, can I do that myself
Make up my own mind like anyone else
You read but missed my plot
You only see that what is not
These are clueless, living in fear
Scared of their own sex or anything clear
Still looking down proboscis crown
Vague hope and no charity-welcome to the 21st centuryThe hush puppy hushes, a dummy dumb struck
What is bad language, what shouldn't be heard
Or used as a token or used as a word
What is not dirty what is not clean
What is not filthy, what is obscene
Who censors the censor, can I do that myself
Make up my own mind like anyone else
Forget me forget me not
Remember me like acid drops
These different colours, different style
Different cultures-these blend in a while
Prejudice prods through a big picket fence
Divided we fall without a defense
The seat of easement, the privy parliament
Petticoat merchants bent on intent
There everywhere, these tricks of the trade
Some in the light, some in the shade
The moon shines bright in the desert night
The other side of a clear sunlight
The other side of a character
Comes out to play before the day
The devil follows out his plans
And makes his work for idle hands
Neatly packaged bird has flown
The devil takes care of his own
Clouds now greeting this aeroplane
Tearing across the empty sky
A bomb implant in the luggage hold
The devil takes care of his own
Madmen fry
This is bad for their health
In the midday sky
Everything has its appointed hour
Get down on their knees
Why should the devil have all the good tunes
BUt the sand won't freeze
Those that do you wrong will never forgive you
CHORUS
Deciding on decisions-deciding on decisions-a war between the ears
Laughing like a madman-laughing like a madman-laughing at the madman
On the barren waste
With the mind of roadworks full of parked cars
You will decorate
An incident of original sin
With skull and bone
An accident of true distinction
Your final home
You spoke too quick, now count the stars
CHORUS
Evaporation, dehydration
An innocent of original sin
With this skull and bones, dehydrating on the desert sands
Raised my height
took an all time low
Took away a little part of me
Sand castles in the snow
And everything you knew
Has turned its back on you
Sand castles in the snow
Deciding on decisions
Deciding on decisions
Well I raised my heights
Took an all time low
I'm laughing at this madman
And all these things
You did and said
All these things
Running through my head
Laughing at the madman
Deciding on decisions
Diplomatic Washing machine
climb down from cloud cuckoo land
Dish this dirt for senile convert
Clean living as in the adverts
CHORUS
And in this brave new world
Proud is the Philistine
And in this brave new world
Who needs the sun to shine
Dig this grave, don't make no waves
Fairy tales and stagnant pools
YOu call this living, well I call you fool
This ideal vision propped up on a astool
CHORUSBlank cheques-prosperity
What do you want, what do you want from me
I'm ever so sorry-I'm ever so sorry
I can't help you-I can't even help me
CHORUS
And proud is that mirror of mine
Talk talk talk talk talk
Like that, she did not like that
She did not like that
She never will
Like that
She did not like that
She did not like that
She never will
Just like a woman
Bad boy you should not do that
You penny pincher from rags to riches
And it's a pity so inexpertly
You mixed your roses with your cabbages
Like that. She does not like that
Like that. She did not like that
Just like a woman
And every man
In human nature these snakes and ladders
The fairground noises are messages
Life would be dull and boring
Without the choices of passages
Just like those dancing dervish
We spin in circles we strike up poses
Just like a woman, and every man
Combine those dreams and wishes
Promises, promises
Old tired, worn out second hand sentences
One thing, with you is certain
You’re a really sad person. So sad.
CHORUS
Disappointed a few people
When friendship reared its ugly head
Disappointed a few people
Well, isn't that what friends are for?
What are friends for?
You, you're just a really bad person
Who won't, you won't, listen to anyone. No not you
With those half moon eyelids
Just babbling on, your useless defences. So sad.
CHORUS
This erratic haphazard, fluttering
This to-ing and fro-ing
Like a confused moth
The collusion, illusion
And it's all ad infinitum
You're a really sad person. You're really so sad
CHORUS
Fools and horses
Running their courses
And brow beaten down
Like dust on the ground
You cheat easily
Like sweet charity
And all of the bastards
The world despises
Springing surprises
In newer disguises
You cheat easily
Fields they have eyes
Woods they have ears
Fish always sink
Head first downward
I'll never dismount
I ride the tiger
Crosses are ladders
Leading to heaven
Keep the candle burning
Bright in the window
It's the only light
I'll see tonight
Beggars can't be choosers
Shrouds have no pockets
Some of us wake up
Others roll over
Hear the dog bark
Watch the trees sway
Keep the candle burning
Both night and day
Many invade
I take no quarter
This is my land
Black rubber bag
Black rubber bag
Black rubber bag
Black rubber bag
Black rubber bag
Black rubber bag (repeat)
Sun burns in a perfect day
Now smell the air of this perfect sky
Silent sweet
A precious place
Desirable shade
Beneath the pinion pine
Drawn by the beauty
Of my own terror
Close to the edge
Swallow the void
Vultures fly
The Arizona sky
These tell-tale signs
Bloated body like a TV dinner
Let the death move in
And let the feast begin
Flock of flowers
Desert develops fever-blister
After the rain
Black rubber bag
Black rubber bag
Black rubber bag
Black rubber bag
Black rubber bag
Black rubber bag (repeat)
Flock of flowers
Desert develops fever-blister
After the rain
Black rubber bag
Black rubber bag
Black rubber bag
Black rubber bag
Black rubber bag
Now pay no heed
Don't care for you
These things in ease
These things in ease
These things in ease
You can generalise
Very easily
These things in ease
These things in ease
These things in ease
Walk and talk
Dysentery
These things in ease

Susan and Norman
You're so normal

Procreation
Have a nice day

What makes you happy
Your misery
These things in ease
These things in ease
These things in ease
Susan and Norman
You're so normal
Susan and Norman
Voice moaning in a speaker
Never really get too close
Only a gimmick pointed fingers
Never more serious sight
Wouldn't waste the effort on entertainment
Out of control - mob running wild
All you ever get is all you steal
Side of London that the tourists never see
Angle ambience
Chant
(Mob, War, Kill, Hate)
(Love, War, Fear, Hate) YOU DECIDE!
Don't know why I bother
There's nothing in it for me
The more I see the less I get
The likes of you and me are
An embarrassment
Chant
It's not important
It's not worth a mention in The Guardian
Every librarian has its theory
Chant chant angle ambience
Chant
Voice moaning in a speaker
Don't you worry
Worry no more
Your own holocaust to wallow in
Exaggeration in story telling
Merely a statistic in this latitude
Don't you worry
These words are like bullets
They go straight to my head
And I grow on greed, with the mother of invention
Don't you worry
These words are like bullets
They go straight to my head
The fruits of life
Gave me dysentery
These words are like bullets
They go straight to my head
Keep an ear to the ground
Only flesh is earthbound
Don't you worry no more
Hello
Hello
Where are you
Where are you
Where are you
Where are you
Where are you
So now you keep your distance
Double on the nuisance
Avoid the situation
Avoid your occupation
Hardly surprising
Too busy socialising
Where are you
Where are you
Where are you
Where are you
You’re never here when you’re needed
Nothing ever heeded
The lying and the faking
The lying and the waiting
It’s hardly surprising
Too busy socialising
The lying and pretending
But you don’t even try
Where are you
Where are you
Where are you
Where are you
A car without an engine
A plane without a pilot
It’s hardly surprising
Too busy socialising
The lying and the faking
Fake
Fake
Fake
Where are you
Where are you now
Where are you
Where are you
Where are you
Now I understand (ha, ha, ha)
Now I understand (ha, ha, ha)
Theme going on and on and on
Its not the same anymore
No, never, never no
Wish

Wish I could die
Now walk alone
Now walk in drain
Does not compute
Not a cliche
And I wish I could die (ha, ha, ha)
Random
There is only one reaction
You must never underestimate
And I wish I
And I wish I could die (ha, ha, ha)
Now understand
Now I understand
It doesnt matter no more
Another leap in the dark
I will survive
And I wish I could die
And I wish I could die
And I wish I

I wish I could die (ha, ha, ha)
Its only excuses
Never mistaking
Rhyme or reason
No, never no never
And I wish I could die
And I wish I
And I wish I could die (ha, ha, ha)
I wish I could die
Understand
Themes going on
On and on and on

On and on and on and on
Will survive
I wish I could die

Understanding doesnt matter no more
Leap in the dark
I will survive
Wish I could die
Wish I could die
Wish I could die
Wish I could die
I just died
It is your character
Deep in your nature
Take one example
Sample and hold
Romance and replace
The lack in yourself
It is your nature
It is your nature
We see you climbing
Improving the effort
Wearing my suit
It is your character
There is a limit
Over your shoulder
Everyone loves you
Until they know you
Perfume aerosols
May champion the strangers
Nick
Standing around
All the right people
Crawling
Tennis on Tuesday
The ladder is long
It is your nature
You've gotta suntan
Football on Sunday
Society boy
On social security
It is your nature
Tennis on Tuesday
Sipping champagne
Football on Sunday
Home on the train
It is your nature
Girl from Totteridge Park
Said you were nice
So was my suit
I think it’s just been another bad night
I think it’s just been another bad night
I think it’s just been another bad night
I think it’s just been another bad night
I’m not an actor
I cannot hide away
Whatever I want to say
I let it out
Maybe I’m wrong
The games you play
Go on too long
I think it’s just been another bad night
I think it’s just been another bad night
I put my foot in it
I said the wrong thing
I opened my mouth
I let the rubbish flow out
I wish that sometimes
I wouldn’t talk so blind
And I always guess
Lucky you

This is not a love song
This is not a love song
This is not a love song
This is not a love song
This is not a love song

Happy to have, not to have not
Big business is very wise
I'm crossing over into

I'm going over to the other side
I'm happy to have not to have not
Big business is very wise
I'm inside free enterprise
I'm adaptable
I'm adaptable
I'm adaptable and I like my new role
I'm getting better and better
And I have a new goal
I'm changing my ways where money applies
This is not a love song
This is not a love song
This is not a love song
This is not a love song
This is not a love song
Now are you ready to grab the candle
That tunnel vision - not television
Behind the curtain - out of the cupboard
You take the first train - into the big world
Now will I find you - now will you be there
Not a love song (echo)
Not a love song
Seeing in your eyes
Words can never say the way
Told me in your eyes
Final in a fade
Never no more hope away
Final in a fade
Seeing in your eyes
Seeing in your eyes
Never really know
Never realise
Silence in your eyes
Silence in your eyes
Never really know
'Til it's gone away
Never realise
The silence in your eyes
Seen it in your eyes
Seen it in your eyes
Never no more hope away
Final in a fade
Watch her slowly die
Saw it in her eyes
Choking on a bed
Flowers rotting dead
Seen it in her eyes
Ending in a day
Silence was a way
Seeing in your eyes
Seeing in your eyes
Seeing in your eyes
I'm seeing through my eyes
Words cannot express
Words cannot express
Don' like the look of this old town
What goes up must come down
Character is lost and found
On unfamiliar playing ground
Get out of my world
What in the world
Shoeboxed around the rifle range
Have all your functions rearranged
Your mind and body gagged and bound
On a new familiar playing ground
The ordinary will ignore
Whatever they canot explain
As if--nothing ever happened
And everything remained the same again
What in the world
Get out of my world
Get up, get out, get out of my world
Open your mouth now
Secret signs and knowing looks
These sunny days will cook the books
Happy to take the misery
This mortal life can bring to me
Don't like the look of this old town
What goes up must come down
Character is lost and found
On unfamiliar playing ground
What in the world
What in, get out, get out, get out of my world
What in the world
Round and around
Around, around, round, round
Round and around
Around, around, round, round
Round and around
Around, around, round, round
Well of course
We've always had it in us
For a million years
Sleeping halitosis
Deaf ears provide
Perfect pure protection
Round and around
Around, around, round, round
Mushrooms on the horizon
Mushrooms on the horizon
You seem to say to say
Nothing can be something
Ignorance now
Dominates the season
Cruel fool
Idiot and spastic
Dutch courage
Talking like an ashtray
Round and around
Around, around, round, round
Mushrooms on the horizon
Mushrooms on the horizon
How many of you have seen a factory
As the boss held high
And the children die
Don't lecture here
Don't spit on my life
Round and around
Around, around, round, round
Mushrooms on the horizon
Mushrooms on the horizon
Round and around

Where is all began
born on desert sands
Desperate citizens
Led by scorpions
Now the condition
Religious discipline
Foraging fanaticism
Heaven this mouth of soap
God his private joke
So save me
This camel in the needles eye
Will laugh and let you die
Tear from limb to limb
Take this pound of flesh
Searing chiking dust
Madness full of lust
Tear from limb to limb
Take this pound of flesh
Save me
Save me
Faith in foolish words
Cows now join the heard
A mass of mindless ants
Dead as decadence
Grind this golend crock
And bleat among the flock
Save me
Back,
Back to the country
Back to mother earth
Out near sellafield my nuclear birth
And Save me
Save me
Save me
Drive to the forest in a japanese car
The smell of rubber on concrete tar
Hindsight done me no good
Standing naked in the back of the woods
The cassette played poptones
I can't forget the impression you made
You left a hole in the back of my head
I don't like hiding in this foliage and peat
It's wet and I'm losing my body heat
The cassette played poptones
This bleeding heart
Looking for bodies
Nearly injured my pride
Praise picnicking in the British countryside
Down in the dark
Tell us a story
From the room below
You are an Ostrich
Bury your head
Personal Austwich
Fermenting in bed
Empty promises help to forget
No more No more
Repair the damages you made
Amen, Amen, Amen,
Empty promises help to forget
No more, no more
This could be heaven
Shallow spreads of ordered lawns
I like the illusion
Illusion of privacy
The careful trees blending so perfectly
Bland planned idle luxury
A caviar of silent dignity
Life in lovely allotted slots
A token nice
A nice constitution
A layered mass of subtle props
This could be heaven
Mild mannered mews
Well intentioned rules
To dignify a daily code
Lawful order standard views
When the blood in your drugs turns to shale
They had you hung, drawn and quartered tooth and nail
Empty pockets make idle hands
And mugging as a job requires good plans
[CHORUS]
Luck's up-tuff stuff-your luck's up-tuff stuff
Luck's up-tuff stuff-unlucky you
And where were you when the pickings were thicker than
slime
A serious problem needs to be on time
not good enough to crawl in the dark
You idiot getting ripped off in the park
[CHORUS]
When the drugs you were mixing blew up in your face
You blew your brains out and put a hole in its place
You wear your luck now all over your face
Still singeing like an old fire place
[CHORUS]
So yet again I hear you're gonna clean up your act
But once a junkie-always and that's a fact
You've begged, stole and borrowed time far too long
See you at your funeral, I'll sing your swan song
Hello
Hello
Hello hello
Hello
Hello
Ha ha ha ha
You never listened to a word that I said
You only seen me from the clothes that I wear
Or did the interest go so much deeper
It must have been to the colour of my hair
The public image
What you wanted was never made clear
Behind the image was ignorance and fear
You hide behind his public machine
You still follow same old scheme
Public image
Two sides to every story
Somebody had to stop me
I`m not the same as when I began
I will not be treated as property
Public image
Two sides to every story
Somebody had to stop me
I`m not the same as when I began
It`s not a game of monopoly

The public image belongs to me
It`s my entrance my own creation
My grand finale
My goodbye

Ego-maniac traitor
You never did understand
You fell in love with your ego
It did not fit into plan

30 years too late
No closet is private
Can see the crack in your face

Bourgeois Anarchist
I read you despise us
Always hurt the one you love
Shit in a drain

You are a fool to yourself
You lie to be distant
Ignorant selfish

Low Life
Bourgeois Anarchist
I read you despise us
Always hurt the one you love
Dead dreams
Dead dreams flying flags
Flapping into the breeze
Wave your coloured rags
Hard times
Were they never any better
Maybe never ever
The slogan will take you like lemmings to the cliff
You'll feel better than ever
And into the abyss
Ha! Ha! Ha ha!
Hard times
Were they never any better
Every crack every crevice will be sanitised
There'll be no more war
There'll be no more choice
And those not behind you
Should go live elsewhere
Spies everywhere
You put the poison in the air
Hard times
Were they never any better
Maybe never ever
The words cry for help
But the music says no
Every sentence a siege of national pride
Hard times
Were they never any better, maybe
And I
I won't answer the call
I don't like khaki
I won't wear your uniform
There'll be no more war
There'll be no more choice
There'll be no more war
There'll be no more choice
Hard times
All those oh! so trendy in their flapper and flair
Delinquent derelict, four walls and a square
Never should you worry about society
The best things in this life are never free
Treat this whole world to a cavalry rout
And when you've had enough of go, go, go and get out
CHORUS
Is everybody happy? Well are you happy?
Get a live-in lover, never leave her alone
The lifestyle is impressive, and you've moved up a tone
Circulate in circles, leave the centre at home
And happy is this hero, never needing a throne
CHORUS
We're having a party and everyone's welcome
And if you've got no friends I'm sure we'll invent some
It's things and then it's places
Not people and their faces
It's things and then it's places
Not people and their faces. And are you happy?
Don't go near the water till you learn how to swim
The parodies and prophecies, cataclysm
Probably a proverb, like blood from a stone
And happy is this hero, never needing a throne
CHORUS
It's things and then it's places
Left
Right
Left
Right
Don't look back
Take second best
Number one protect
Self interest
Here every day is a Monday, Monday
Left, right
Left, right
Left, right, left, right
Get it up, get the right armour
Don't look back
Look after your health
Good days ahead
Don't listen to the red refugees
Aliens
Go back, go back
Go back, go back
Extreme right
The face is white
Left foot, right foot
Keep the shoulders up
Column eighty eight
The master plan
Uber alles
The Klu Klux Klan
Improvements on the domestic front
Have a cup of tea
Good days ahead
Don't ever look back
Good days ahead
Don't ever look back
Good days ahead
Don't ever look back
Good days ahead
Don't ever look back
Good days ahead
Don't look back
Good days ahead
Don't look back
Good days ahead
Don't ever look back
Improvements on the domestic front
Good days ahead
Don't ever look back
Don't ever look back
Good days ahead
Don't wanna go near there

Doom sits in gloom in his room
Destroy the infidel
In a mosque

Only ending is easy

Arise in the West
Better days will never be (x3)
What does this mean
It means
We get the best scene
When politics talk
The ends of power meet
Nice to be wanted
Safe and protected
The ends of power
When politics talk
Better days will never be (x3)
Better days will never be
Home sweet home
Home, home
Let's talk politics
Every dog has its day
For me
I don't believe
Better days ahead
Will never be
I don't believe in anything
(nuclear day)
Better days will never be (x3)
Spare no man
Match bomb for bomb
All is fair in war
When the ground is soft
With hot blood
Spare no man
Better days will never be
(match bomb for bomb)
A scorched earth
(flatten the earth, this home sweet home)
No charity
(burn everything, from lust to dust)
No weak pity
(no charity, no weak pity)
From lust to dust
(all is fair in war)
With the fly in my eye
It didn't take long
To realise
The desert sun
Might be good for some
Oh no, but not for I
Fat Chance Hotel
Fat Chance Hotel
I get bored in the brain
Out here
Doing nothing at all
Some useless holiday
This turned out to be
The dinner gave me
The splattery botty
Fat Chance Hotel
Fat Chance Hotel
Burning
All day long
I, I don't belong
Itching in frustration
This is not my ideal vacation

Fucking hell thirsty work in’it being famous
This track is dragging on
Do you think it’ll ever end
One more time?
What did you think of the engineer looking through that
glass window?
I think he's rather suspicious
He looks very suspicious to me
Very dubious guy with that long haired hippy roadie
next to him
I think these long haired chaps...
I don't really think much of them, but don't you like
their jokes?
They don’t realise that
love makes the world go round
We only wanted to be loved

It’s blue
Oh no
Oh yes!
We only wanted to be loved
Go on John tickle the old Joanna
We only wanted to be loved
Loved, loveddddd
*IF YOU MADE IT THIS FAR, YOU ARE A SAD, SAD PERSON!
Closed mouth catches no flies
Burning bridges as you're crossing is not very wise
When analysed
Be tongue-tied
Play snakes and ladders
But not suicide
Like casting pearl before swine
Talking to you is a waste of time
You burned the bridges you've been crossing
Go crawl back into your dustbin
Crawl back in your own dustbin
From you expect this lack of respect
To be sly
Not one of a kind
Pretty picture
Bad frame of mind
Like casting pearl before swine
Talking to you is a waste of time
You burned the bridges you've been crossing
Go crawl back into your dustbin
Go crawl back into your dustbin
Go crawl back into your dustbin
Go crawl back into your dustbin
Go crawl
I've learned caution
This comes from wisdom
These altitudes
These dizzying heights
These bottomless pits
These sweet delights
Like me
You are unlike me
Like me
You are unlike me
Go crawl
Back in
Your dustbin
Talking to you is a waste of time
You burned the bridges you've been crossing
Under surveillance
Sweet subservience
I think you're stupid
But you're worth the mention
People who need people
Are the stupidest of people
Go crawl back into your dustbin
Go crawl back into your dustbin
Go crawl back into your dustbin
A face is raining
Across the border
The pride of history
The same as murder
Is this living
He's been careering
The steady hand as planned
Behind the reasoning
No claim for property
Both sides of the river
There is bacteria
Is this living
He's been careering
Trigger machinery
Mangle the military
No one should be there
Is this living
Blown into breeze
Scatter concrete
The jagged metal bad life
Manufactured
He's been careering
Is this living
A face is raining
Across the border
The pride of history
The same as murder
Is this living careering
There must be meaning
Behind the moaning
Spreading tales
Like coffin nails
Is this living
He's been careering
It's raining
I need to hide
Trigger machinery
I've been careering
Across the border
Is this living
Both sides of the river
There is bacteria
Hello
What do you want
You're irritating
Go away
Its not my fault
That you're lonely
Just look around
I think you'll find that
Everyone has the same problem
This is not a real home
The walls are so thin
The neighbours listen in
Keep the noise down
They're complaining
Humiliated
You were born and bred
Humble to the spoon fed
Why worry now
You're not dead yet
You've got a whole lifetime to correct it
You're wasting
Admiring hating
This lot are not happy heroes
Just better actors
A hundred and one dilations
And fifty seven varieties
Outside with the empties
Keep banging the door
Keep banging the door
Keep banging the door
I won't answer the phone
I won't answer the door
Reptilians
I won't let you in
If he knew we were here
I'm sure he'd let us in
I won't let you in
Alright, stop Nick
This is not a real home
The walls are so thin
The neighbours listen in
Keep the noise down
They're complaining
I won't let you in
If he knew we were here
I'm sure he'd let us in
I won't let you in
I won't let you in
Won't let you in
If he knew we were here
I'm sure he'd let us in
I won't let you in
If he knew we were here
I'm sure he'd let us in
Keep banging the door
Keep banging the door
Keep banging the door
I won't answer the phone
I won't answer the door
Seeing in your eyes
Words can never say the way
Told me in your eyes
Final in a fade
Never no more hope away
Final in a fade
Seeing in your eyes
Seeing in your eyes
Never really know
Never realize
Silence in your eyes
Silence in your eyes
Never really know
Til its gone away
Never realize
The silence in your eyes
Seen it in your eyes
Seen it in your eyes
Never no more hope away
Final in a fade
Watch her slowly die
Saw it in her eyes
Choking on a bed
Flowers rotting dead
seen it in her eyes
Ending in a day
Silence was a way
Seeing in yoru eyes
Seeing in your eyes
Seeing in your eyes
I'm seeing through my eyes
Words cannot express
Words cannot express
Like a criminal.
Did you think it could be like on TV?
Where you could be big in your own movie?
Did real life let you down?
A genuine Pygmalion.
CHORUS:
(Criminal) Like a criminal.
(No) No good to anyone.
(Foolish) Gotta get a life and get sensible.
(No) No pity, no pardon.
Criminal. Just like a criminal.
Could've been a factor.
Could've been another distracter.
Some like it in limousines, I like it in a tractor.
Solo, separate, not just one of a crowd.
Indifferent to compliment.
I leave my funeral ground.
CHORUS
(Criminal) Like a criminal.
(No) No pity, no pardon.
Just a criminal.
Haven't got a clue.
Cannot comprehend anything you value.
I'm probably just like you.
Yes, I haven't got a clue.
Just let that Judas goat lead you down that narrowing
path.
As affluence is your influence.
You'll be of no consequence.
CHORUS
(Criminal) Like a criminal.
(No) No pity, no pardon.
Yes, I haven't got a clue.
Just like a criminal.
I can not comprehend anything you value.
Probably just like you.
Yes, I haven't got a clue.
Someone made the story up
I tell the truth
It wasn’t me
Let me in
I wont be long
Open doors
Feel the draft
Someone made the story up the next day
Being here
Is not enough
Another
Another
Another
I tell the truth
It wasn’t me
Follow the leader
I can’t be patient
I am a shadow
Coming

Think I’m proud to be your enemy
Take your hands off of me
You’re worse than the thing that possessed me
They way they were
The way they should have been
Annalisa
Annalisa was 15 years
Stole her soul
But I hear no tears
Ever been alone
And heard the voice
Not your own
I’ve seen those fears
Annalisa
Somehow you used ignorance for sense
Melodrama in your eyes
All concern rests with the dead
Annalisa
Annalisa had no escape
Starved to death in a waiting room
Cheap concern and rosary beads
Did not solve screaming needs
Annalisa
Annalisa
Annalisa was 15 years
Stole her soul
But I hear no tears
Ever been alone
And heard the voice
Not your own

Annalisa
Annalisa
Annalisa
Crawl like rabid dog
Your savage mind
Has made you deaf dumb blind
Your savage heart is tearing you apart
You, you make me angry
You, you make me angry
You're lost in the crowd
Wearing numbers like a shroud
You are a coward we watch you conform
An what you're wearing
Is just another
Like any other uniform
You are fashionable
Like any other trend
You follow on
Pose
Pretend
You, you are not your own person
You, took a tactical diversion
Why, not try and be yourself
No individual
Self made perfect creation
And all of the clones
That have impressed you
Have turned you up and out and into a court jester
No excuse you are no use
I could be desperate
I think I'm brave
Could stay and watch you
(repeat)
You gave me nothing
An early grave
I'm vegetating I want more, more, more
I want everything in 1981
Anywhere
Any place will do
I'm leaving England
We're near the ending
You gave me nothing
No more pretending
I'm looking forward
To our parting in 1981
1981
We're near the ending
I'm just pretending
It's all been said before
I want more, more, more in 1981
1981
1981
You gave me nothing
I want more, more, more
I want everything in 1981
I'm leaving England
We're near the ending
You gave me nothing
No more pretending
1981 (repeat)
I want everything in 1981
1981 (repeat)
Nearly ten thirty
I'm rising early
I've got an eye to buy the best
Before the rush
Someone left a baby
In the car part
Never any reason
Don't you listen
One more sob story
Some one is calling
Seen through the window
Calling through mirrors
Don't you listen
Don't interfere
Ignore it and
It will go away
Someone is calling
Don't you listen
Don't you listen
Someone is calling
Don't you listen
Someone is calling
Don't you listen
Think I’m proud to be your enemy
Take your hands off of me
You’re worse than the thing that possessed me
They way they were
The way they should have been

Crawl like rabid dog
It came out of the wall
A single cadaver
(under the house)
It went under the house
Scream in the trees
Under the moon
(scream in a dream)
Solid the grave
(vile stinking)
Stone cold ambition
Solid and gross
It went under the house
It's not the sun I wear as a crown
I colour the clouds
Under the house
Solid the grave
Stone cold ambition
(solid discreet)
It came out of the wall
A single cadaver
It went under the house
A scream in the trees
Under the moon
Ages apart
Under the house
It's not the sun I wear as a crown
I follow the clouds
Under the house
Scream in the trees
Under the moon
It came out of the wall
A single cadaver
It went under the house
The jugular bulge rips
Steal if I could
Under the house
(ages apart, under the house)
Scream in the trees
(stone cold ambition, solid discreet)
Under the moon
(under the house)
It went under the house
Under the house
A scream in the trees
Under the moon
The vile stink in my nostril
A single cadaver
(stone cold ambition)
It clouded out of the wall
Solid disgrace
(the smoke is a float)
It's not the sun that I wear as a crown
(every breeze brings disease)
Ages apart
Under the house
Mercenary
A bed in the corner
The suffering suffragette
Such an obvious trap
Imagine that
A Butterball turkey
Spread her body
Naked and silly
A bulbous heap
Batting her eyelids
The lights go down
Erupting in fat
The blackwall tunnel
An elephant's grave
A second-hand mattress
Come and play total commitment
Premenstrual tension
Trials and tribulations
When I was born the doctor didn't like me
He grabbed my ankles
Held me like a turkey
Dear mummy
Why'd you let him hit me
This was wrong
I knew you didn't love me
There is selection
Many shapes and sizes
Variety
Fondling surprises
The syllables
Trigger happy opposites
Encountering those devious devices
Satisfying all that you are craving
Considering life is now worth saving
Tie me to the length of that
Tie me to the length of that
Tie me to the length of that
Tie me to the length of that
Tie me to the length of that
You’ll be sorry you don’t love me
Something is happening to my body
Nature is those little bits and pieces
Tie me to the length of that
Tie me to the length of that
Tie me to the length of that
When I was born the doctor didn't like me
He grabbed my ankles
Held me like a turkey
Dear mummy
Why'd you let him hit me
This was wrong
I knew you didn't love me
I keep these feelings deep inside my body
It's not the union both of us expected
Remember daddy
When you made him hold me
Safe in his arms
Then the bastard dropped me
Ooh, ahh
Pretty, pretty baby
Pretty baby
Baby, baby boo-hoo...
Tie me to the length of that
Tie me to the length of that
Considering life is now worth saving
Stupid drunk
You’ll be sorry you don’t love me
Ooh, ahh
Pretty, pretty baby
Pretty baby
Baby, baby
Ooh, ah
What a lovely little baby
There is selection
Many shapes and sizes
Variety
Fondling surprises
The syllables
Trigger happy opposites
Encountering those devious devices
Satisfying all that you are craving
Considering life is now worth saving
Tie me to the length of that
Tie me to the length of that
Tie me to the length of that
I think you need me now
From chapter to chapter
I'll never let go
I have an appetite
Follow these rules of life
Never the same thing twice
(repeat)
Admire the scenery
It's where I left it last
This room now has a view
It's nearly night at last
The ceiling seal of ice
These walls and windows have your eyes
Almost a honeymoon
I feel clean inside
This body beautiful
This body beautiful
This body beautiful
This body beautiful
I think you need me now
I'm from chapter to chapter
I never let go
I had this appetite
Follow these rules of life
Never the same thing twice
Admire the scenery
It's where I left it last
This room now has a view
It's nearly night at last
The ceiling seal of ice
These walls and windows have your eyes
Almost a honeymoon
I feel clean inside
I'm safe inside this body
Body beautiful

Stained glass windows keep the cold outside
While the hypocrites hide inside
With the lies of statues in their minds
Where the Christian religion made them blind
Where they hide and prey to the God
Of a bitch spelled backwards is dog
Not for one race, one creed, one world
But for money, effective, absurd
This is religion
Theres a liar on the altar
The sermon never falter
This is religion
Do you pray to the Holy Ghost when you suck your host
Do you read whos dead in the Irish Post
Do you give away the cash you can't afford
On bended knees and pray to lord
Fat pig priest
Sanctimonious smiles
He takes the money
You take the lies
This is religion
Theres a liar on the altar
The sermon never falter
This is religion
This is religion and Jesus Christ
This is religion cheaply priced
This is bibles full of libel
This is sin in eternal hymn
This is what they've done
This is your religion
The apostles were eleven
Now there's a sod in Heaven
This is religion
Theres a liar on the altar
The sermon never falter
I am born in the London
I am no vulture, this is my culture
The laws of nature,... all listen friends
We come from chaos, you cannot change us
Cannot explain us and that's what makes us
We are the ageless, we are teenagers
We are the focused out of the hopeless
We are the last chance, we are the last dance
One drop in all of this ocean
Not gotta be causing commotion
One drop not follow the motion
Not drop no proper emotion
One drop in all of this ocean
Get proper, follow the motion
Get proper drop of emotion
Not gotta be causing commotion
One drop,
We all go down,
The laws of nature, be for all us a lesson friend
We come from chaos, you cannot change us
Cannot explain us and that's what makes us
We are the ageless, we are teenagers
We are the focused out of the hopeless
We are the last chance, we are the last dance
One drop in all of this ocean
Not gotta be causing commotion
One drop not follow the motion
Not gut no proper emotion
One drop in all of this ocean
Get proper, follow the motion
Get proper drop of emotion
Not gotta be causing commotion
We come from chaos, you cannot change us
Cannot explain us and that's what makes us
We are the ageless, we are teenagers
We are the focused out of the hopeless
Born in the London, out of London, born in the London
But really we are born everywhere
One drop in all of this ocean
Not gotta be causing commotion
One drop not follow the motion
Not gut no proper emotion
One drop in all of this ocean
Get proper, follow the motion
Get proper drop of emotion
Home
I got the oven repaired
This was security in luxury
Home is where the heart is
The daily paper and the carpet
My body burns
My body needs to follow suit
Blind lead the blind
From Russia with love
I look good in dust
Shadow in the back of the hall
The images of everyone
Isn’t nature such a wonderful thing
Spreading all over the world
By geography
I’m not a stranger
My fingers burn
My body burns
I’m practising
I’m separating
I look good in dust
My body burns
My body needs to follow suit
Blind lead the blind
From Russia with love
I look good in dust
I look good in dust
Spreading all over the world
I got the oven repaired
This was security in luxury
Home is where the heart is
The daily paper and the carpet
My body burns
Shadow in the back of the hall
The images of everyone
Isn’t nature such a wonderful thing
Spreading all over the world

My fingers burn
My body burns
I’m practising
I’m separating
Farewell my fairweather friend
Senseless reasoning
You believe what you want to believe
Farewell my fairweather friend
On you no one can depend
Bad times
Now they must end
Whatever you want it to be
For you that's what it will be
Honesty to you is arbitrary
Logic is lost in your
Cranial abattoir
Shallow
Empty inside
Sly witted
Full of snide
Bad times
Now they must end
The shutter-speed of your thinking process
Is small
Too small
Too full of pride
Bad times
Now they must end
Farewell my fairweather friend
Bad times
Now they must end
Farewell my fairweather friend
Farewell my fairweather friend
Bad times
Now they must end
You used to be nice
Now you're twice as nice
You used to be good
Now you're too good
Farewell my fairweather friend
Bad times
They must end
On you no one can depend
Farewell my fairweather friend
Logic is lost in your cranial abattoir
Shallow
Empty inside
Sly-witted
Full of snide
The shutter-speed of your thinking process
Is small
Too small
Too full of pride
Lost in a storm
Farewell my fairweather friend
Bad times
Now they must end
Bad times
They must end
On you no one can depend
Farewell my fairweather friend
Farewell my fairweather friend
Farewell my fairweather friend
What you gonna do
When the river runs dry
Put your drills in the mud
And death up in the sky
You should have saved those bottles
You should have saved those cans
You shouldn't ought'a listen to the plastic man
And there's no more toilet paper
It's gone just like the trees
Do you like the taste of honey
Isn't it best without the bees
Be careful what you're doing
You're messing up my life
And if all the world's a cake
Then you cut too big a slice
What's it all about
They scream and then they shout
Don't ask me
Cause I don't know
What's it all about
They scream and then they shout
Don't blame me
I told you so
You read it in the papers
You hear it on the news
Very few listen
A spew without a view
And is it really worth it
Choking on remote
I can see the red tide coming
But I don't even vote
Infection in the greenhouse
Dizzy in the clouds
Oily as an ocean
Heaven disembowelled
Still planning on a future
Well lucky for some
You can develop your body
But your mind is still a slum
The product in the packaging
Of multi-layered glam
150 layers of materials
To cover up a sham
Protecting my planet
Wrap it in plastic
The package is product
Perfected eternal
A crap in a cling wrap
I never met yet a prime minister or president
Who told the truth yet
Swimming in the slurry
Burning in the heat
Wind blown is the weather
I eat what you secrete
Climb the highest derrick
This circus has no prayer
No UFO to save us
And do we really care
Kiss goodbye to the earth, the sun, the moon
(Lydon/Levene/Atkins)
Call me up after midnight
Tell me I'm wrong
Tell me I'm right
What do you want
What do I get
Did you just need the argument
Well, bad life
Corporate city
Lucky for some
Richest island in the sun
That's life
Name of the game
It's competition
Top of the pile
Not demolition
This is what you want
This is what you get
Bad life
Bad life
Now this machine is on the move
Now looking out for number one
The open road
I’m getting gasoline
Well, bad life
Bad life
Human gets dubious side
Well, that's life
Call me up after midnight
Tell me I'm wrong
Tell me I'm right
What do you want
What do I get
Did you just need the argument
Well, bad life
Bad life
Bad (etc)
Bad life
Now looking out for number one
The open road
Getting gasoline
Human gets dubious side
Well, that's life
Bad life
Now looking out for number one
The open road
Getting gasoline
Human gets dubious side
Well, bad life
Bad life
Human gets dubious side
Well, that's life
Well, that's life
Well, that's life
This is what you want
This is what you get
This is what you want
This is what you get
This is what you want
This is what you get
