There's no such thing as a harmless joke
There's no such thing as a gentle toke
There's no such thing as Panama Jack
Who's got the crack, who's got the crack
Who's got the crack, who's got the crack
I am a goat
In a moat
With a boat
Who's got the crack, who's got the crack
Who's got the crack, who's got the crack
I like it when my hair is poofy
I like you when you slip me a roofy
I like it when you've got the crack
Who's got the crack, who's got the crack
Who's got the crack, who's got the crack
I wanna be a hippie
But I forgot how to love
It's hard to be a garbage man
When a sailor stole my gloves
I wanna be reckless
But I'm feeling so uptight
Put your mama in a headlock baby
And do it right
Who's got the crack, who's got the crack
Shoop, shoop, shoop de-lang de-lang
Shoop, shoop, shoop de-lang de-lang
Shoop, shoop, shoop de-lang de-lang
Shoop, shoop, shoop de-lang de-lang
Shoop, shoop, shoop de-lang de-lang
Shoop, shoop, shoop de-lang de-lang

Oh watcha gonna do, Katie?
You're a sweet sweet girl.
But it's a cruel, cruel world
a cruel, cruel world.
My pins are none too strong, Katie
Oh hurry up Mrs. Brown
I can feel 'em coming down
& it won't take none too long
But since you said goodbye
The polka dots fill my eyes
And I don't know why
Shoop, shoop, shoop de-lang de-lang
Shoop, shoop, shoop de-lang de-lang
Shoop, shoop, shoop de-lang de-lang
Shoop, shoop, shoop de-lang de-lang
Oh watcha gonna do, Katie?
You're a sweet sweet girl.
But it's a cruel, cruel world
a cruel, cruel world.
Safety pins are none too strong
They hold my life together
And I never say never ever never
say never again
Oh but since you said goodbye
The polka dots fill my eyes
And I don't know why
Since you said goodbye
The polka dots fill my eyes
And I don't know why
Say you want
Say you will
Say you won't but don't leave me standing
Say you will, it's up to anyone
That's what they all like to know
And since you said goodbye
The polka dots fill my eyes
You smoke your cigarettes down to the bone
And since you vowed to back it and you're too proud to sack it
You have to carry on your own
You think you had it under control
Best foot forward and don't look back no more
It could break your heart and torment your soul
Well, they sold my name after they stole my shame
Sold my name, ah yeah
Tumbled my game, tumbled their game
Got a tablet sized brains, yeah
You smoke your cigarettes down to the bone
And it's best not to mention you're craving for attention
Your love for fame like blood from a stone
Too busy to notice that you've thrown
You turn to dust as there's no one left to trust
Last chance and your mind will go
Suppose my name, suppose it came
And they sold my shame, yeah
And suppose it came out and tumbled their game
Tablet sized brains, yeah
Or is it really such a sin though?
Toll for my sin
Is it such a sin though?
One hand is sailing
One hand is sailing
One hand is sailing
One hand is sailing
One hand is sailing
Come and see the blinding, it's so blinding

But you might be happy oh, happier

Last thing you'll ever see

Freer than you've ever been
What will you do
If she runs out of time for you?

Well, things to be getting on with
On with, on with, on with the show
Come and see the blinding, it's so blinding, it's so blinding
It's the last thing that you'll ever see
Let me show the blinding, it's so blinding, it's so blinding
It's the last thing that you'll ever see
Oh, what will you do
If they run out of time for you?
And crossing the roads without you
Out you, out you go
Out you go, out you go
It's so blinding, it's so blinding
It's so blinding, it's so blinding
It's so blinding, means so blinding
It's the last thing that you'll ever see

So if they talk like they could
Are you going to heed a word they say
All I'm trying to say was
I'm in love with a feeling
I know that it shows
Yes I'm in love with a feeling
And I don't care who knows
There's a very odd man over there
I don't mean to alarm you
He's by the stairs
No I don't mean to alarm you
He's swimming around all over town
...meaning, ....no feeling
Are you going to heed a word they say

I'm still waiting for you to show me fire
Oh how's your fever
Like an open book
Oh you can read me
Ohhh la la la la la
They would if they could, but they can't
So if they talk like they could
Are you going to listen to a word they say
All I'm trying to to say was
I'm in love with a feeling
I know that it shows
I'm in love with a feeling
And I don't care who knows
Because of his hob knob
Ohh la la, I think love was a dirty word
Love all the time
Only in a friendly way
I sit alone almost every night
I watch those trains roll on by, out of sight
No, it's not the same old story, it's news to me
I'd say so it's the not only way to be
I worked in town on nothing for free
Nothing left in this place for, life's offering me
I wish to God, I just wish that I
Got no money in my pockets you see
Gimme no, gimme no, gimme no, gimme no
No money in my pockets you see
Gimme no, gimme no, gimme no, gimme no
It's not the same old story it's news to me
I would say so but the only way to be out
I'm typing almost every night
I watch my dreams float by, out of sight
I wish to God that I just been stabbed
Got no money in my pockets you see
Gimme no, gimme no, gimme no, gimme no
No money in my pockets you see
Gimme no, gimme no, gimme no, gimme no
It's not the same old story it's news to me
I would say so but the only way to be out
I'm typing almost every night
I watch my dreams float by, out of sight
I wish to god that I just been stabbed
I was a troubled teen
Who put adverts in a magazine
To the annoyance of my imaginary lover
Well she questioned my integrity
And this is what she said to me
She said oh, you, you're green
You don't know what love means
Oh let me tell you
She said it tickles you pink, oh yeah
But it likes to hear you scream
Fire and damnation, lamentations
For the likes of you
When she goes, just let her go
If she says she's going
Just make sure she goes
Make sure she goes
I was a troubled teen
Untroubled only in my daydreams
To the annoyance of somebody or other
Oh well, they doubted my philosophy
And this is what they said to me
Oh, you, you'll soon be up where you belong
But it's only blood from broken hearts that writes the words to every song
Oh a beatific smile
For the fawners and the servants
Oh but I, only I, only I
I can see the serpents
Oh, you, you're green
You don't know what love means
Well let me tell you
It tickles you pink, oh yeah
But it likes to hear you scream
Fire and damnation, lamentations
For the likes of you
When she goes, just let her go
If she says she's going
Just make sure she goes, make sure she goes
When she goes
You just let her go
If she says she's going
whats the use between death and glory
how do you tell between death and glory
happy endings they never bored me

in your mind your mind your mind your mind
they'll never play this on the radio
You seem the types who follow the line
Went from cheery vagabondage
To cold blooded luxury in four years
No lick spittle or pick thack
From sycophant claw back flunky
Oh, I want to lay by your side
Oh, I will lay down and die if I can't lay by your side
Weakened vessel or better half?
That woman's tears
Could be the death of me, oh dear
You know when she's had a few
She'll be onto you, there's no letting up
But, I want to lay by your side
Oh, I will lay down and die if I can't lay by your side
It may happen too easily, the golden years
So don't despair, don't dismay dry your tears
Everything is for the best in the best of all possible worlds
I, I had a blast off with the cast of a play on the radio
They were more liberal times
Destined to drone in monotone on your radio
It's a little dream of mine
Oh, but comments were less than complimentary
And the deft left hand it followed the right
I think about my happiest times
And one of them was, sat in bed
Watching a documentary on murderers
A bear cat, a mimosa and a view of arcady
Well, I want to lay by your side
Oh, I will surely lay down and die if I can't lay by your side
I want to lay by your side
Oh, I'll surely lay down and die if I can't lay by your side
Oh, I want to lay by your side
Oh, I will lay down and die if I can't lay by your side
Sit right down if you're a friend
You know there ain't too many left of them
You said, ?I want love, I want it all?
You look better now than last time
But you still look better from afar
The life that you wanted was not in store
You're being in the dark once again
Hello, hello
Hello, my love
Hello, my love
Stop your moaning and I'll give you a taster
They give you and line and they call you a waster
Give you a line, oh what a waster
Say you will or you won't
You do or you don't
You do or you don't
You do or you don't
'Cause you look better now than the last time
But you're still no better than before
The life that you wanted wasn't in store
You're being in the dark once again
Hello, hello
Hello, my love
Hello, my love
When it suits you, you're a friend of mine
When it suits you, you're a friend of mine
When it suits you, you're a friend of mine
When it suits you, you're a friend of mine
When it suits you, you're a friend of mine
When it suits you, you're a friend of mine
When it suits you, you're a friend of mine
When it suits you, you're a friend of mine
When it suits you, you're a friend of mine

You're a friend of mine

You're a friend of mine
'Cause you look better now than the last time
Still no better than before
The life that you wanted was not in store
You're being in the dark once again

Still no better than before
The life that you wanted was not in store
You're being in the dark once again
aint going back to black boy lane,
No I aint going back to black boy lane,
There must be some other way,
Because I aint going back to black boy lane,
Never again...
Do you think you can help?
Can't you make me a call?
We're so near to town,
I can't get nothing at all
Today, are you dancing today?
15 Track-suits coming up my lane,
15 Track-suits coming up my lane,
..................,
There's the men; the ones you must lay,
In which you must lay down and die,
Oh as opposed to strutting all day,
Strutting all night,
Strutting on 'brown,'
Strutting on 'white,'
All day,
Are you dancing today?
Ah there's a bullet there with my name,
So I aint going back to black boy lane,
Never, never again,
What about the fella you knew from sometime before,
In the house by the park with a cage on the door,
You phone and you say, are you dancing today?
Baddie's bound by ancient codes of decency and secrecy
He understands 'bout stabbing backs and shaking hands
So if or when you're behind bars or in front of them as you are
Look out for the man who'll bum your wife and then shake your hand
And oh, you've been here before, you fell in love
And carried her over the threshold
Thinking, she's far too good looking to do the cooking
Now well, that was twenty years ago, twenty years ago
That's a lousy life for the washed up wife
Of a permanently plastered, pissed up bastard
A lousy life for the washed up wife
Of a permanently plastered, pissed up bastard
A lousy life for the washed up wife
Of a permanently plastered, pissed up bastard
A lousy life, a lousy life
The kid was singing, will I ever be free?
Does this town hold no more for me
Club Tropicana, the drinks are free
Stick one in his face for me
Baddie's bound, it's all 'bout you, his decency, his secrecy
And baddies bound, but I do get it
All the way, you've been here before, fell in love
Carried her over the threshold
Just thinking, she's far too good looking to do the cooking
While that was twenty years ago, twenty years ago, oh
That's a lousy life for the washed up wife
Of a permanently plastered, pissed up bastard
A lousy life for the washed up wife
Of a permanently plastered, pissed up bastard
A lousy life for the washed up wife
Of a permanently plastered, pissed up bastard
A lousy life, a lousy life
Oh, the kid was singing, will I ever be free?
Is this town hold no more for me
Club Tropicana, the drinks are free
Stick one in his face for me, for me, a baddie
Baddies bound, baddies bound, it's 'bout you
Everything's got to be
Just how it has to be
Or he won't play
And I know that boy wants to
Approach me and say
All he's got to say
Maybe he'll say it today, maybe no
There was a slight altercation, oh
Down at the station, oh, today
There's blood on hands and steps
I'm holding my head
She's got some front, oh
Did you hear what she said?
I'm so sos if I neglected you
I mean you no harm, mean you no harm
And I'm so sos if I disrespected you
Mean you no harm
Oh look around, it's true
Tonight, I'll be chasing you
I took one draft of life
Paid only the market price
Now I'm estranged
And I'm so lonely now
Though I'm not alone
Licking her boot
Down in Albion
They're black and blue
But we don't talk about that
Are you from 'round here?
How do you do?
I'd like to talk about that
Talk over
Gin in teacups
And leaves on the lawn
Violence in bus stops
And the pale thin girl with eyes forlorn
Gin in teacups
And leaves on the lawn
Violence in dole queues
And the pale thin girl behind the checkout
If you're looking for a cheap sort
Set in false anticipation
Ill be waiting in the photo booth
At the underground station
Now come away, won't you come away
We can go to
Deptford, Digbeth, Tuebrook
Anywhere in Albion
Yellowing classics
And canons at dawn
coffee wallows and pith helmets
and an English sun
New bought classics
And canons at dawn
Terrible warlords, good warlords
and an English song
But if you're looking for a cheap sort
Glint with perspiration
There's a four-mile queue
Outside the disused power station
Ah come away, won't you come away
We're going to...
Watford, Enfields
Anywhere oh
If you're looking for a cheap tart
Glint with perspiration
Theres a five mile queue
Outside the dissused power station
Oh come away, won't you come away
We're going to...
Don't talk about it
Don't want to know about it
Arguing with you's no good
You'll be nobody's fool but you'll almost speak...
Don't let me know about it
Don't let me know about the 32nd of December
Oh, thats the night I'm trying so hard to forget
All you do is you come around and make me remember
What I try, oh that I, what I....
Still you talk about it
Still don't wanna know all about it
Anybody want tea?
Anybody, thank you, ah fuck me
But don't speak
And don't talk about it
Don't talk about the 32nd of December
Thats the night im trying so hard to forget
So all you do is you phone me, and I remember
Remember what I try
That I, what I...
You know that I...
You was a stickler for manners
So don't you say goodbye
No, not to a good old friend,
I get by, please
I get by
And get by
Argggh, so what you running from?
Still, ahh don't talk about it
Still, don't want to know about it
Don't want to know about it
The 32nd of December
Thats the night im trying so hard to forget
All you do is come around and make me remember
Remember what I try
What I, that I...
... nice reason, I'll go
But they'll never do
Now here's a tale
Tale I will tell
Blood lust after no sweet love
And a many, many things I do so well
Oh you know that's the end
That's the end so far away down
They said that I was as good as dead
And there was hope, but not for us together
My friend, my only friend
Oh well you know that that's the end
And that's the end so far away down
Skip... fame on the run
Don't look back into the motherfucking sun, no
Oh well you know that that's the end
And that's the end so far away down
Sticks and stones
May break my bones
Oh but your words
They really kill me
Sticks and sto-o-o-o-ones
May break my bo-o-o-o-ones
Sticks and stones may break my bones
Oh but your words they really kill me
And there you know that's the end
What's that song we use to sing?
It's about anything, everything and anything
What's that song we use to sing?
You have always thinking of her
You're in love and you don't know what to say
But I saw her at the fair
And she feels the same way
She was married by the merry-go-round
The merry-go-round
The merry-go-round
Merrily we go round
It was the first one of the day
It was the last one of the night
Oh hold me tight, hold me tight, hold me tight now
It was the first one of the day
It was the last one of the night
Oh hold me tight, hold me tight, hold me tight now
There's a parade of girls outside
That boy's so shy, why'd you punch out his lights?
They said you were wrongened
But I can see in your eyes
How you are gentle and wise
And you had the good stuff
There's a parade of girls outside
That boy's so shy, why'd you punch out his lights?
What was that song you used to sing?
What was that song we used to sing?
What was that song you used to sing?
What was that song we used to sing?
Sing that song we used to sing
What was that song you used to sing?
It's about anything and everything
Everything and anything
The times of your life, the people that we meet
It was the first one of the day
It was the last one of the night
It was the first one of the day
It was the last one of the night
Oh hold me tight, hold me tight, hold me tight now
There's a parade of girls outside
That boy's so shy, why'd you punch out his lights?
You have always thinking of her
You're in love and you don't know what to say
But I saw her at the fair
And she feels the same way
She was married by the merry-go-round
The merry-go-round
The merry-go-round
There's a lesson I have learnt
If you play with fire you will get burnt
Hell hath no fury
Like woman scorned
I'll tell you my story
Make you wish you never, wish you...
Wish you never never, wish you never been born
I may never learn, never know
I may live and learn but never know
I may crash and burn, oh no
I may take my turn
If you love her, then tell her you love her and
You could be kissing her soon
If you need her, oh, tell her you need her and
You won't be missing her soon
Oh, but for a love to be true
It must come from her too
It's a lesson hard learned
If you play with fire you will get burnt
Hell hath no fury
... (?)
Oh, I may never learn, you never know
I may live and learn, never know
I may crash and burn, oh no
I may take my turn
If you love her, then tell her you love her and
You could be kissing her soon
If you need her, oh, tell her you need her and
Oh Paddy put the pipe down
If you got the right sound
If it's not the right sound
Neither am I, oh my oh my

And there ain't no turning back
Oh on The Sun

Comes undone

He was the last one of the night
Oh hold me tight, hold me tight
They said you were wrongened
But I can see in your eyes
How you are gentle and wise
And you had the good stuff
Oh there's a parade of girls outside
That boy's so shy
Why'd you punch out his lights?
He was the first one of the day
He was the last one of the night
Oh mop it up, she'll be alright
Mop it up, she'll be alright
There's a parade on the hall outside
Its one and the same, one and the same oh,
So whats the use between death and glory?
How can you choose between death and glory?
Happy endings, no, they never bored me
Happy endings, they still don't bore me
But they, they have a way
They have a way to make you pay
And to make you toe the line
Sever the ties
Because I'm so clever
But clever ain't wise
Fuck forever
If you don't mind
Oh fuck forever?
If you dont mind, dont mind,i dont mind,i dont mind
Oh whats the use between death and glory?
I cant tell between death and glory?
New labour and Tory
Purgatory and no happy families
Its one and the same, one and the same
No, its not the same
Its not supposed to be the same
You know about that way
The way they make you pay
And the way they make you toe the line
I've severed my ties
Oh, you're so clever, you're so clever
But you're not very nice
So fuck forever
If you don't mind
Oh I'm stuck forever
In your mind, your mind, your mind
But have you heard about that way,
To make you feel I should soon make you pay
And to make you toe the line, line
I Sever my ties
Oh well i never
Sever the ties
And fuck forever
If you don't mind
See i'm stuck forever
Oh i'm stuck in your mind, your mind, your mind
I never played this on the radio
I heard it said
You had come back from the dead
You were playing so fine
Scooping up the soul of the wine
Now courage my boy
When they look you in the eye
Try not to look too scummy
If you need some money
And you want their money
Now I know...
This ain't no happy place to be
You know they're nice around me
You know they're nice about me
And everyone agrees
About what's won in a year from here, my friend
Promises, promises...
You've heard it all before
But nobody ever
Ever get me more...
Oh yes courage my boy
When you look them in the eye
That they laugh if they try to be funny
All along...
Belong
You're still my son
And coin my words
Oh it's absurd how you get so
Very old, man
Typical tan
Took me in hand
To ...
... hour
You sent for me
I was knock knock knocking on death's door
You ignore, adore, a rebours me
You leave me washed up begging for more
If you really cared for me
Ah you'd let me be
You'd set me free
But what you robbed me of is my...
Oh is my liberty
The curtain was calling
You were there blewn away and a rebours
In the mirror bawling
If you want it so much you are gonna have it all
Ah if you really cared for me
Christ knows you'd let me be
You'd set me free
I'm too polite to say...
I defy you all
You know twice as much as nothing at all
It's still nothing at all
I can defy us all
Tides are now turned and hammered it all
Hammered it all
Ah, no, ah no, ah no...
I've been running round this world too much, girl
Pretending not to see
What's drilling me, it's killing me
Oh no, I think I understand
What I misunderstood before
How your love gives me so much more
I am free again, I can see again..
But if I should fall
Would you vow today to pay tomorrow
The fucked off big debt I owe to sorrow...
Ah, oh... sorrow... sorrow...
Ah, oh... sorrow
You talk, you talk a good game
I wish I could talk the same
And a song is just a game
I'm getting good at cheating
That's how you talk
Ah yes, you talk a good game
Won't you teach me the same?
I would love to explain
I love to show your hand and all about
Oh well, I know, I know, I know
I know it's wrong and so and so
So what, I suppose it's got to go out
I never ever said it was clever
I just like getting leathered
Looking for the light
Light behind your eyes
Well, you talk, you talk a good game
I wish I could talk the same
And a song is just a game
I'm getting good at cheating
[Incomprehensible] Utah, remember Utah in the rain
And those little red shoes
And some kid with the blues
Who gets right on your tits
You just grin and bear it
Yeah, I know, I know, I know
I know it's wrong and so and so and so
And so it's got to go out
I never ever said it was clever
I just like getting leathered
I'm looking for the light
Light behind your eyes
Bevan, he drops stones from heaven
L O R D forever
And the love, the love behind your eyes
You talk, you talk a good game
You talk, you talk a good game
You talk, you talk a good game
You talk, you talk a good game
Well, I never ever said it was clever
I just like getting leathered
Looking for the light
Behind your eyes
Bevan, he drops stones from heaven
L O R D forever
Listen hard and close
Why are you morose
Did you take an overdose
To the winner's post
Can you make the chase?
Internet database
Webpage, you're outta your face
I'm in and out of space
Wolfman
It's giving me the hump, man
It's coming like a swamp, man
I jump when you say jump, man
The spitz's on you
So what you gonna do
You got a junkie for a mother
Your dad drank special brew
From the estate
You got enough on your plate
There was a gang in the shadow
I made the getaway
Wolfman
It's giving me the hump, man
It's coming like a swamp, man
I jump when you say jump, man
Jump
JUMP
JUMP
Get into the vibe
Slam in a megadrive
Arcade, the fire denied
I pulled my flick knifes
Sent into kingdom come
Alley-cat got your tounge
Schizoid it's fame on the run
Wanted by the sun
Wolfman
It's giving me the hump, man
It's coming like a swamp, man
I jump when you say jump, man
Up the morning, up, up the morning
Up the morning, up, up the morning
Up the morning, up, up the morning
Up the morning, up, up the morning
Up the morning, up, up the morning
Everytime I see your face
It makes me sad, it makes me chase
Chase my love across the world
Even though you're not it's taste
Simple, evil, I don't walk alone
Everytime I see your face
It makes me cry, it makes me wait
Waited far too long
And you were over me
But it's ok, cause I know, where you will go, I will go
Up the morning, up, up the morning
Up the morning, up, up the morning
Up the morning, up, up the morning
Up the morning
Up the morning
Up the morning, up, up the morning
Ayyyyyyyy
And if I, if I could go
Back in time
And if I, if I could go
Back in time
I'd go to show, what did I show?
I would not show
The nights and the fights when I came rumbling out the door
Well what was I supposed to do?
Where's a boy supposed to, supposed to go?
Up the morning, up, up the morning
Up the morning, up, up the morning
Up the morning, up, up the morning
Up the morning, up, up the morning
He's stronger than the walls
You tried to build around him
To dumb and dumbfound him
For two thousand years I waited for your call
Screaming from the windows
Screaming bloody murder
The more that you follow me
The more I get lost
You think that you know me
You're pissing me off
Yeah, you said that you love me
Why don't you fuck off?
Anyone would think that you own me
You're ripping me
Messed my head, I messed my head
Oh, happy will I be
To shine fire upon everyone and no one
I messed my head and I messed my head
Oh, happy would I be
To shine fire upon everyone and no one
Wolfman and Bilo, on the run
Wolfman said to Bilo, "I'm calling it on"
Bilo said to blue eyes, "Put your trousers back on"
He's stronger than the walls
You tried to build around him
To dumb and dumbfound him
Two thousand years I waited for your call
Screaming from the windows
He is stronger than the walls
That you tried to build around him
To dumb and dumbfound him
For 2000 years I have waited for this call
Screaming from the windows
Screaming bloody murder
He is stronger than the walls
That you tried to build around him
To dumb and dumbfound him
For 2000 years I have waited for this call
Screaming from the windows
Screaming bloody murder
The more that you follow me
The more I get off
You think that you know me
You're pissing me off
You think that you own me
Why don't you fuck off?
He is stronger than the walls
That you tried to build around him
To dumb and dumbfound him
For 2000 years I have waited for this call
Screaming from the windows
Screaming bloody murder
I messed my head, I messed my head
Oh happy will I be
Seem to shine fire upon everyone and no one
I messed my head, I messed my head
Oh happy will I be
And there goes a Bilo on the run
In the morning there's a buzz of flies
Between the pillows and the skies
That beg into your eyes
Through the looking glass
And between your thighs
And it's written no small surprise
Let's straight down the rabbit hole
There we go
I've been meaning to tell you
A sentimental thing that occurred to me
I've been waiting to show you
A set of photographs
That'll make you laugh and smile
You might wanna stick one on his nose
Around his teeth, down this drug hole of him
They've nowhere else to go
In the morning there's a buzz of flies
Between the pillows and the skies
That beg into your eyes
Through the looking glass
And between your thighs
And it's written no small surprise
Let's straight down the rabbit hole
There we go
I've been meaning to tell you
A sentimental thing that occurred to me
I've been waiting to show you
I, I do declare, I was surprised to see you stay
Only to be betrayed
By the one you gave all your love and trust to
And tell me how could I let go?
Since I caught a glimpse of your immense soul
You were dancing to northern soul
Just one glance, ah well, you know
There she goes, a little heartache
There she goes, a little pain
Make no mistake she sheds her skin like a snake
On the dirty road to fame, dirty road to fame
My love, now oh, there she goes, a little heartache
There she goes, a little pain
Make no mistake, sheds her skin like a snake
You're going to walk the plank again, walk the plank again
My love, now
I was to implore that you forget all you saw
When you came through my door and from your bag
Pulled out more skag than I'd ever seen
No, how could I let go?
Since I caught a glimpse of your white plimsolls
Twisting and turning to northern soul
Just one glance, ah well, you know
Everybody knows
There she goes, a little heartache
There she goes, a little pain
Make no mistake, sheds her skin like a snake
On the dirty road to fame, dirty road to fame
My love, now oh, there she goes, a little heartache
There she goes, a little pain
Make no mistake, sheds her skin like a snake
And you walk the plank again, walk the plank again
My love, now
There she goes a little, there she
If I Could Tell You How Much I Loved You,
Then You Would Know I Would Never Be Without You,
My Only Wish Is To Be There For You,
Out After Midnight Walking In Moon light,
Do you still bowl around after dark
Blowing your hope and your smoke in the rain
I lit a little fire off your chimney spark
And I knew then I would never see you naked again
The whole world is our playground
The whole world is our playground
Take the night by the hand
And set it on fire again
If I hear this song on the radio
I swear I'll go out of my mind
But I try not to think about you every minute or so
But they, they... sold you as a prize
The whole world is our playground
The whole cell is our playground
Take the night by the hand
And set it on fire again
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
I don't know how to begin
This song I hide away
But I know that you know
And I know that you've been where I've been
Seen what I've seen that was too far away
The kitchen light is too bright
And the light in your mind is a sin
It's killing me everyday
There's a man who came to stay
The boy he replaced, disappeared without a trace...
Stole all my songs and my style away
No-one would say what they wanted to say
So he was king for a day..
If you sail into the sun
Beware the eyes of green
And if the whole room tells you 'you are the one'
I defy you not to believe them, my son...
There's a man who came to stay...
Never showing on time
Out of his mind, diddly doo doo dine
Every single gig I play
Something's not right inside
Paranoia and pride, nowhere to hide...
If you sail into the sun, la la la la lala
Beware the eyes of green
And if the whole world tells you 'you are the one'
You must be hearing those voices again my son
If you sail into the sun
Please beware the eyes of green
While there's still a fighting chance
Can't you just get up and go
And get away from this hollow romance
It's slowly binding us both
Because you tell me what you want and I'll avoid it
Tell it to the sick and to the damned
Show me what you love, watch me destroy it
For your love just crumbles in my hands
But if you stay for a while..
I'll try to think of something kind to say
And maybe if we pray for a while
St. Jude may hear my pleas
And see me on my bended knees
Because she knows how I adore you
We won't be fighting again tonight
Not if she knows I adore you
No fighting again tonight..
I laugh and fall just like Grimaldi
You wear your make-up like Baby Jane
All of those promising lies that you told me
Come on and tell me them again
I walked these streets all of my life..
The fear and hope
Because you tell him what you want and he'll avoid it
May as well tell it to the sick and to the damned
I'm half dead, I'm the third alive
A quarter ticking over on the middle by the side of the road
Don't get surrounded by people you hate
They'll choke you out the house
Down the path and out the garden gate
Ooh, I'll ever, never, not once when we're together
One gun punks on vogue at the side with the bands
And the vans and the gangs and the clan
With the monkey man high with a little girl at his side
What is it that you're doing to me?
Oh, I don't know, I know, I know, I know
I know, there came a truce and tea
Ooh, I will never, never, not chop those two together
With wheeling dope just do it on the side
With the bands and the fans and gangs and the clan
With the monkey man high with a little girl at his side
Well, I'll never, ever, now that we're together
Waiting on the dope
As he's queuing up inside, inside graveyard
I'm half dead, I'm the third alive
Sedative
Sedative
Was my hero
Oh, it was
What's it really like now
It's been a long, long time since I've step outside
To the morning sun now
Would you take me out now?
Take me by the hand now
It's been a long, long time since I've step outside
To the morning sun
Sedative
Sedative
Was my hero
And I had a hit
[Incomprehensible]
Sedative
It was my hero
And I had a hit on it
What's it really like now
It's been a long, long time since I've step outside
To the morning sun now
Would you take me out now?
And I crawl along now
It's been a long, long time since I've step outside
To the morning sun
My faith in you
[Incomprehensible]
Yes, I got faith in you
What's it really like now
It's been a long, long time since I've step outside
To the morning sun now
Would you take me out?
And I crawl along now
It's been a long, long time since I've step outside
To the morning sun
My faith in you
Faith in you
One's too many and a hundred ain't enough
For Corna baby give me more oh that stuff
Oh baby, oh baby
We had a real good time
Pipey Magraw
Pipey Magraw
Pipey Magraw
Pipey Magraw
I run a monkey casino
I gotta head full of beano
I hear the voices of evil
Telling me to do murder
I got my false feel
I got my false friends
I got my rum deal
I got my slow train
It's coming round the bend
And believe me
You know you wouldn't wanna be me
Nor would you want the shame or the strain of my name
But if I can live my life all over again
There ain't one single thing I'd change
Bilo, they call me Billy Bilo
I'm like a fish on a lilo, I'm all out of place
It's written all over my face
Bilo, some call me blood clot wierdo
Oh they fuck with your mindo
When you do it skag and bone
Bilo, they call me Billy Bilo
Oh they fuck with your mindo
When you do it skag and bone
Pipey Magraw
That's Pipey Magraw
Pipey Magraw
That's Pipey Magraw
One's too many and a hundred ain't enough
For Corna baby give me more oh that stuff
Oh baby, oh baby
Are you still talking to
All of those dead film stars
Like you used to
And are you still thinking of
All of those pretty rhymes
And perfect crimes
Like you used to love
And if you're still alive
When you're twenty five
Shall I kill you like you asked me to
If you're still alive
When you're twenty five
Shall I kill you I know you told me to
But I really don't want to
I remember all of the thing-things said to me
Until ... calvary
Ah you said, you said new love grows on trees
New love grows on trees
New love grows on... new love grows on trees
Are you still shaking out
All the dead wood from your bed love
Well times don't change and you're still thinking of
All of those pretty rhymes for love divine
Oh no, you really don't have to
If you're still alive
When you're twenty five
Shall I kill you
Oh I know you asked me to
But I really don't want to
I remember every single thing you said to me
You said new love grows on trees
My darling Clementine, you know I love you
My darling Clementine, you know I do
I bless and curse the day I found you
I wonder why
I get lost in the wonderland around you
But you're always welcome here
I keep love handy, I keep it near
And I take note of all of your witty reposts
And I follow with the famous quotes and
If i say I care, I really mean it
She's got the money, and she
She's moving on
She's thinking on
She's thinking on all the good advice
Because there's always good advice
The man with the golden arm rarely deals a joker
But he kept two aside, just for you
The Lust of the Libertines
Is really quite tame
It rages quietly nigh here beside you
And your lust for fame
But fame is such a sinister game, I know...
It could all end this way then
Some things won't be the same
Oh just a face, and a name on a page
But I'll be soundly sleeping
I'll be soundly sleeping
I'll sleep right through that age
Cause I can deal with all...
The blood on my shoes
The holes in my soul
My spirit is tainted
All my tears are painted
Am just so long as you...
You don't forget to... oh uh ow
Cut me on the wall
By the graffiti of all the things
I just couldn't say
Shove me up the wall
Oh my darling (oh Poor Cow)
It was a kind of loving
But you've left me in the family way again
The dust on my tambourine
Really can be explained
I need to shake it more often
I need to shake away the blame
Oh well, fame is such a sinister game, I know...
The taste of goulash in your mouth
As you stumble offstage...
Forget-me-nots bloom on this day then
But they whither with age
Oh I can deal with all...
The blood on my shoes
The holes in my soul
My spirit is tainted
All my tears are painted
Am just so long as you...
You don't forget to... oh uh ow
Cut me on the wall
By the graffiti of all the things
I just couldn't say
Oh won't you hove me up the wall
Oh Poor Cow
It was a kind of loving
I'll never really understand why I believe you
You're so sly and underhand, I think I'll leave you now
With everything I stole since we met
I stole no kisses, just some books and the odd cigarette
I never liked South London anyway
It must be true what they say
Oh well, you've scuppered all my best laid plans
I can't believe you just dismiss my pleas right out of hand
I can't believe you've listed everything I stole since we met
But I stole no kisses, just some books and a butterfly net
It's raining,
(Now it's sunny)
It's raining,
(Now it's sunny)
Once upon a time
Once upon a time
When the cold wind that blows
When the cold wind that blows in my heart
It was a summer breeze
And she would meet me
In Chinatown for opium and tea
And she always brought me flowers
Oh, but I spared you those old ballads
All the songs I couldn't play
But every giro day
Where you'd dress me like a ladyboy
And take me high out of the way
And let the horse chase the new deal away
No if we make love in the morning
Oh, don't my eyes look like two marbles in my head
But Lady don't you fall backwards
Come on fall into my arms
And don't you fall backwards
I wouldn't want for you to come to any harm
And tell me if the darkness comes
I will sing you a song
And I'll love you forever
Till the morning comes
But don't you fall backwards
Ohhh ohhh ohhhh
Why would you pay to see me in a cage?
And why would you pay to see me in a cage?
Some men call the stage
Listen now I have gone
You will know
I was the only one that would have gladly died
What was wrong in the eyes of the unwell and unwise
They killed a man for his giro today
Wasn't very game, I didn't mind
I wasn't a money man anyway
They killed a man for his giro today
Why, would you pay
Why, would you pay
To see me in the cage
Just a hole across the stage
And know
When the night has gone
You might say
I was not the only the one that would've died
What was wrong in the eyes of the cruel and unwise
And they killed a man for his giro today
On the off chance that you're listening
To the radio
I thought you might like to know you broke my heart
You can only start to know or hedge your bets
And take a chance you never get again
All my ties, time and time
I keep on trying hard not to try too hard
When I forgive, I won't forget
To killing time, so I'm better now
I don't need it anymore
Anything that makes you, feel hate
Can do without hate
Now I believe in love
Now I have gone
Oh yeah, I will pay
For everything you've done
What was wrong
In the eyes of the unwell and unwise
They killed a man for his giro today
We've been running round this world too much, girl
Trying not to see
But no freer then, we can see again
Now the old corruption packed its ransom sack
Buttoned his dirty Mac
He won't be coming back with us,
He won't be welcomed back
Oh you, you never show your face no more
Slam the door
Changes...
But if, oh... if you should fall
I vow today to pay tomorrow
The debts you owe to sorrow
We've been running round this world too much, girl
I get around to singing about
That gang of gin I'm in
Then you'll know most certainly
The kind of game I'm in
You sound around to swinging about
The gang of gin I'm rolling in, oh
Then you'll know
The kind of state I'm in
Who will buy my beautiful roses?
Who will buy my beautiful songs?
Who will buy my beautiful roses?
Who will buy my beautiful songs?
Oh in a nutshell
Yeah in a nutshell, oh
In a nutshell
In a nutshell
I get around to singing about
That gang of gin I'm in
Then you'll know
The kind of game I'm in
She was getting pally with a scally in the alley
Giving head for gear
She calls a spade a spade
Got slit from ear to ear
Who will buy my beautiful roses?
Who will buy my beautiful songs?
Who will buy my beautiful roses?
Who will buy my beautiful songs?
Well I showed no decorum
Spilled my heart out on the forum
Looked like a snapshot
Of the most tragic day
I'll tell you my story
The treachery it bores me
Carl and McGee both promised me
It would not happen this way
Carl is kept sedated
The frontman elevated
And McGee doing all he can to ruin my band
And keep me out the way
In this industry of fools
Musclemen and ghouls
If you're not a puppet or a muppet
Then you might as well call it a day-ayay
The truth here gets distorted
The wall scrapings get snorted
I'm welcome back if I give up crack
But you gave me my first pipe anyway
Can't show no decorum

Well, it's a long, long way, oooh
From Bollywood to Battersea
Bollywood to Battersea
Bollywood to Battersea
La la la la
I was a child of the pound and the crown
I lost myself in the haze
Of the new life that I found
On the silver screen
She was a child of the movies and the dollar
One fine day I was led astray
She took me by the collar
Said, "You must follow me"
Well, it's a long, long way, ooh
From Bollywood to Battersea
Bollywood to Battersea
It's a long, long way, ooh
From Bollywood to Battersea
Bollywood to Battersea
Bollywood to Battersea
Yeah, I was a child of the suicide and the leisure
Oh one fine day I was led astray to a burning collar
Said, "What's your pleasure?"
I was born in the four minute warning
My old man said as he shook his head
I model lackluster panicky in vain search for the remedy
No words only melody come so I take my day off my love
My love she sits with me, I love, I love her company
Raindrops on roses and dust filled trinkets
All this washes over you, my French dog blues
Chien Bleu Chien französicher Hund
And the French dog blues
And the French dog blues by the French dog blues
Never surrender to flattery
Frown on, come down on duplicity
And above all things my son
Take the money and run
I still model lackluster panicky in vain search for the remedy
No words only melody comes, I take another day off
Oh, this washes over you, my French dog blues
Chien Bleu Chien französicher
Yeah, I see you
I only ever wanted the one with the flag
All you ever wanted was a sixty dollar bag
And a cheap limousine for your deep pile dreams on the highway
On the highway, highway, oh
Chien Bleu französicher Chien
That is the French dog blues
That is the French dog blues
That is the French dog blues
By, oh by, the way of an explanation
Cast adrift of the shores of shorty's nation
I had a lick, it caved my skull in like a brick
Call now, what use am I to anyone
I'm fucked, forlorn, frozen beneath the summer
Don't sing along or you'll get what I got
So, here comes a delivery
Straight from the heart of my misery
So, here comes a delivery
Straight from my heart to you
Yeah you, now you, now you, you finally left school
Oh, what on earth do you intend to do?
See if you can take the man go downtown
Where all your skins and mods, you get together
Make pretend it's 1969 forever
Find a girl, have a drink, have a dance and play
It's a song that deliver me
Straight from the harshness of misery
Is a song that you'll ever hear
Straight from my heart to you
Yes, here comes a delivery
Straight from the heart of my misery
Or a song might deliver me
Straight from my heart to you
Yes, here comes a delivery
Straight from the heart of the misery
Here comes a delivery
Everything's got to be
Just how it has to be
Or he won't play
And I know that boy wants to
Approach me and say
All he's got to say
Maybe he'll say it today, maybe no
There was a slight altercation, oh
Down at the station, oh, today
There's blood on hands and steps
I'm holding my head
She's got some front, oh
Did you hear what she said?
I'm so sos if I neglected you
I mean you no harm, mean you no harm
And I'm so sos if I disrespected you
Mean you no harm
Oh look around, it's true
Tonight, I'll be chasing you
I took one draft of life
Paid only the market price
Now I'm estranged
And I'm so lonely now
Though I'm not alone
Licking her boot
I've been wandering East of Eden
Been lost, cold, lonesome as a sparrow in the rain
I found myself tumbling to a sinking feeling
When someone said I done gone wrong
Couldn't feel no shame
I'll be leaving town on the very next train
You can wait for me little girl
But I won't be coming this way again
And it ain't nobody's business if I do
There's a slow train rumbling east of a place called Eden
Ah, the wind blowing in proud as the trees upon the plain
And a stranger's voice talked to me of liberty and freedom
Yeah, it seems like he done gone wrong again
And he wears the hat like shame
Well he tasted the fruit of another
And when his Margie, when she discovered
Said she's gonna love him ten times more
Ain't nobody's business if she do
He said "some men born rich, some men born poor
But they're rich in other ways"
Into my heart his wisdom poured
It's no good crumblin, I'm making tracks to live
When I laid my love down in the light
You should've seen all the things my shadow did
The filth and the fury, the fear and the pain
It's all disappearing now
Faster than the smoke from this old train
Do you know me? I don't think so!
Do you know me? I don't think so!
You romanticize the dark and gloomy past
Trying to escape from the underclass
You darkened the bright and beautiful day
You're breaking my heart in every way
And tell me everything is dandy and fine
You're no friend of mine
I took you in and you stole from me
But you still got everything I need
You're walking so tall, you're looking so mean
You're walking so tall, you're looking so mean
But you tell me everything is dandy and fine
You're no friend of mine
Do you know me? I don't think so!
Do you know me? I don't think so!
You romanticize the dark and gloomy past
Trying to escape from the upper class
You darkened the bright and beautiful day
You're fucking up my head in every way
Don't take me for no sunbeam
Don't take me for a sunbeam
Sunbeam, sunbeam
Just another faction of
How can all the fraction of
Now they tax you all your life
Don't take me for no sunbeam
Don't take me for a sunbeam
Sunbeam, sunbeam
I'm a crumb begging bag head, baby yeah
A crumb begging bag head, baby yeah
Bet you say that to all of the girls
And all the long lost wars
Any cause worth dying for
A passing bell is reused by like capital again
Again, again, again
Don't take me for no sunbeam
Don't take me for no sunbeam
Sunbeam, sunbeam
I'm a crumb begging bag head, baby yeah, yeah
A crumb begging bag head, baby yeah
Bet you say that to all of the girls
And if you ever smile
In a street of crocodiles
I doubt you'd ever smile again
I tell you a story, but you won't listen
It's about a nightmare steeped in tradition
It's the story of a coked-up pansy
Who spent his nights in flights of fancy
Met two fellas over gin and mixes
They talked for a while and soon got the picture
One was a soaped-up soho mincer
The other was a pikey with a knowledge of scriptures
The conversation turned evil
Well it's a long, long way, oooh
From Bollywood to Battersea

My old man said as he shook his head
Why should I wait until tomorrow
It's already been, I've already seen all the sorrow that's in store
I will beg or steal or borrow
Hold on tighter to all that sorrow tries to choir
Oh, and if I change my tune
Maybe I won't be bound to do
I won't be bound to do
And I won't be bound to
If you must beg, steal or borrow
To hold on tighter to all that sorrow tries to choir
If I change my tune
They think she'll be fine by June
In a world where ice turns into stars
What a life on Mars
I can't wait until tomorrow, no, I've already been
Already seen all the sorrow that's in store
They'll tell you anything
(Tell you anything)
They'll tell you anything
(Tell you anything)
Just to get you in the car
(Get you in the car)
She'll tell them anything
(Tell them anything)
She's told them everything
(Everything)
You've taken it too far
(Taken it too far)
Sit right down cause you're a friend
You know there ain't too many left of them
You said I want love, I want it all
You look better now than last time
But you still look better from afar
The life that you wanted was not in store
You're being the dark horse again
Hello, Hello
Hello, My Love
Stop your moaning and I'll give you a taster
They give you and line and they call you a waster
Give you a line, oh what a waster
So don't!
You say you will or you won't
Do or you don't
Cause you look better now than the last time
But you're still no better than before
The life that you wanted wasn't in store
You're being the dark horse again
Hello, Hello
Hello, My Love
When it suits you, you're a friend of mine
Cause you look better now than the last time
But you're still no better than before
The life that you wanted wasn't in store
You're being the dark horse again
Cause you look better now than the last time
But you're still no better than before
The life that you wanted wasn't in store
The first news was there's Americans on the shore
Maybe maybe maybe now we're all going to war
Maybe maybe maybe they will be screaming out for more
Maybe maybe maybe they will be running for the door
Got the tickets and a dirty nose
No one wants to help but everybody knows
Start with babyshambles and your friends will come to blows
And babyshambled when you're timid at the shows
You don't need no one
You don't need no one who feels the same old way
Oh it's a shame, we were just getting comfy
The first news was there's Americans on the shore
Maybe maybe maybe now we're all going to war
Maybe maybe maybe they will be screaming out for more
Maybe maybe maybe they will be running for the door
The first news was there's Americans on the shore
Arabs on the beach, lovers on the floor
In Arcady, your life trips along
It's pure and simple as the shepherd's song
Seraphic pipes along the way in Arcady
In Arcady
Never saw I such a scene
Such maids upon such a molten green
They employ their holiday with dance and game
And things I may never name
In Arcady
You said he was your teacher
Taught you so true and so wise
But now you know more than your teacher
I see nothing but cool self-regard in your eyes
In Arcady
So you see how twisted it becomes
See how quickly twisted it becomes
When the cat gut binds my ankles to your bedstead
That ain't love, no that ain't love
Said he was your teacher
Taught you so true and so wise
Now you know more than your teacher
I see nothing but cool self-regard in your eyes
In Arcady, your life trips along
I always flirt with death
I could kill, but I don't care about it
I can face your threats
Stand up tall and scream and shout about it
I think I'm on another world with you
I'm on another planet with you
You always get under my skin
I don't find it irritating
You always play to win
I don't need rehabilitating
Another girl, another planet
Another girl, another planet
Space travels in my blood
And there ain't nothing I can do about it
Long journeys wear me out
Oh God we won't live without it
Another girl is loving you now
A little death around the eyes
Take your medicine in your hotel room
That's your medicine
Better rest on all fours
That's your medicine
In a nut shell
Your boyfriend's name was Dave
But I was bold and brave
And now you're mine
You cook and clean and sow when I tell you to
Dance and drink and screw when I want you to
If I ask you to
A little death around the eyes

Ah, tell me
What did I dream?
Cause nothing's as it seems
On the way back down, for me
What did I dream?
Cause nothing's as it seems
On the way back round, for me
Nothing's gonna keep me from my
What did I dream?
No one's gonna keep me from my
What did I dream?
We're on the one road
Maybe the wrong road
It's the road to fuck knows where
We're on the one road
Maybe the wrong road
But we're together now so I don't care
Nothing's gonna keep me from my
What did I dream?
No one's gonna keep me from my
No one'll fucking keep me from my
No one's gonna keep me from my
What did I dream?
And if I confide in you today
I know you don't believe a single word I say
I found solace in the flood
And everybody knew that I would
Cause I'm alright
And there's a slight crack in my chimney
So tell me
What did I dream?
Nothing's as it seems
On the way back round for me
What did I?
Roll a four, roll a nine
Find yourself washed up in paradise
Like before you didn't mind
Someone else washed up in paradise, everyday
What a nice day for a murder
Yourself a killer but the only thing you're killing is your time
There's nothing absurder than a burd'
It's a burden to your heart, soul, body, spirit and mind
Don't look back at me like that, she won't take you back
I said too much, been too unkind
Get off your back, stop smoking that
Change your life, just might change her mind, her mind
Roll a four, roll a nine
Find yourself washed up in paradise
All the fours to all the nines
I lost my phone in paradise, pay as you go
What a nice day for a murder
Say you're a killer, I think you're killing is time
There's nothing absurder than a burd'
It's a burden to your heart, soul, body, spirit and mind
Oh, don't look at me like that, she won't take you back
Done too much, been too unkind
Get up off your back, stop smoking that
Change your life, think it'll change her mind
Don't look at me like that, she won't take you back
Said too much, been too unkind
Get up off your back, stop smoking that
I'll tell you a story but you won't listen,
It's about a nightmare steeped in tradition,
It's the story of a coked-up pansy
Who spent his nights in a flights of fancy,
Met two fellas over gin and mixers,
They talked for a while he soon got the picture,
One was a souped up Soho mincer,
The other was a pikey with a knowledge for scriptures.
Then the conversation turned evil,
Talked, talked and talked about people,
Why did you do it to so many people?
Stumble left out of the boozer
... (?)
... another life (?)
... looking alright (?)
That girls out way ahead of the game
Way ahead of the game
Way ahead of the game
You've turned your back upon her
One too many times,
Spent all her hard earned money
Getting high, she sang
Is she more beautiful, is she more beautiful
Is she more beautiful than me?
Is she more beautiful, is she more beautiful
Is she more beautiful than me?
She's La Belle Et La Bete at the ball
She's La Belle Et La Bete at the ball
She's La Belle Et La Bete at the ball
... (?)
You've turned your back upon her
One too many times
Spent all her hard earned money
Just getting high... she sang
Is she more beautiful, is she more beautiful
Is she more beautiful than me?
Is she more beautiful, is she more beautiful
Is she more beautiful than me?
Is she more beautiful, is she more beautiful
Is she more beautiful than she?
I'll tell you a story but you won't listen
It's about a nightmare steeped in tradition
It's the story of a coked-up pansy
Who spent his nights in a flights of fancy

Is she more beautiful, is she more beautiful
