Don't think I told you 'bout this dream I had
Me and these friends of mine were feelin' bad
'Cause we were wasted
Wasted on the likes of You
Feel like a semaphoring Happy Jack
Caucasion crucifix upon our backs
Yeah, we were wasted
Wasted on the likes of You
Well we've got powers in our jeans You've never dreamed
And we've got words You've never heard and never seen
Yeah, we've been wasted
I heard you hummin' on the telephone
I spoke to Monroe, Garbo, Truman, Capone
But, they were wasted
Wasted on the likes of You
Oh, come along
Come along
Come along
Come along
I met a man today who sold me an icecream
I took his number down in case we were seen
He looked so much better
I took my first real taste of porcupine tea
Loretta looked much better than you'd think she could be
She looked so much better
I really think she rule it out
I think I'll take a look at what I could be
She showed me lots of things that I'd never seen
'Cause she was wasted
Wasted on the likes of You
Maybe one day we can stop on the screen
And lay back royalties from me unseen
Cause we've been wasted
Wasted on the likes of You, yeah, You, yeah
Wasted on the likes of You, yeah, You, yeah
Wasted on the likes of You, yeah, You, yeah
Wasted on the likes of You, yeah, You, yeah
I've got your picture of me and you
You wrote, "I love you", I love you too
I sit there staring and there's nothing else to do
Oh, it's in color, your hair is brown
Your eyes are hazel and soft as clouds
I often kiss you when there's no one else around
I've got your picture, I've got your picture
I'd like a million of you over myself
I want a doctor to take your picture
So I can look at you from inside as well
You've got me turning up and turning down
And turning in and turning 'round
I'm turning Japanese
I think I'm turning Japanese
I really think so
Turning Japanese
I think I'm turning Japanese

Turning Japanese

Turning Japanese
I think I'm turning Japanese
I really think so
No sex, no drugs, no wine, no women
No fun, no sin, no you, no wonder it's dark
Everyone around me is a total stranger
Everyone avoids me like a cyclone ranger
Everyone
That's why I'm turning Japanese
I think I'm turning Japanese
I really think so
Turning Japanese
I think I'm turning Japanese

It makes all the difference in the universe
to be with you at night but it only makes it worse in the daytime
But when I see you in the evening, well that's all right
I forget about the day 'cos you're mine all night
But in the morning there's that feeling again
Another nine hours until meet your train at the station
So I spend all day on the telephone
just telling you I miss you and I'm all alone
And every day I dream my life away
just waiting for the weekend
Then I know I won't have to leave you here
and we can be alone again
Waiting for the weekend
Waiting for the weekend
Waiting for the weekend to come
I don't need money and I don't need crime
I get my kicks from spending all my time here beside you
That's why I'm standing on the corner in the freezing cold
just waiting for my girl from another world
And every day I dream my life away
just waiting for the weekend
Then I know I won't have to leave you here
and we can be alone again
Waiting for the weekend
Waiting for the weekend
Waiting for the weekend to come
And every day I dream my life away
just waiting for the weekend
Then I know I won't have to leave you here
and we can be alone again
Waiting for the weekend
Waiting for the weekend
Waiting for the weekend to come
Waiting for the weekend
Waiting for the weekend
By Dave Fenton
And again I wait for you
My tired hands are turning blue
I'm not sure if it's night or day
My body's aching in the cold and rain
But, I can't go home in case you're on the next train
So, here I stand - I'm just waiting for you
Everybody I know has to face the trains
Everybody I know makes the same mistakes
Playing games I turn around
I kick my heals I count the clowns
I watch another lonely man
Oh, but there's something in the air
that says I'm in the right place
So, I gaze at the crowd I'm trying to find the right face
And there it is - You say you're sorry too
Everybody I know has to face the trains
Everybody I know makes the same mistakes
Well, there's a hole in the ground
that seems to eat me up
I can't say enough about the two of us
My arms are breaking I can't hold you enough
Oh, I can't hold you enough
Oh, I can't hold you enough
I want to love you again
I want to love you again
I want to love you again
I want to love you again
I want to love you again
I want to love you again
I want to love you again
I wan'a, I wan'a, I wan'a
Everybody I know has to face the trains
Everybody I know makes the same mistakes
Well, I took you to a glycerine party everynight
I followed on my lead when you put out the light
I couldn't fight the feeling that it's warmer than rain
I couldn't fight the feeling that you can't fight trains cause I know
Nobody tastes like you
Nobody looks like you
Nobody loves like you
Nobody tastes like you
Nobody looks like you
I can't go home
I wan'a do it again
I wan'a do it again
I wan'a do it again
I wan'a do it again
I wan'a do it again
I wan'a do it again
I wan'a do it again
I wan'a, I wan'a, I wan'a
(What did you say?)
I said a lot of things that I didn't mean
(tell me why?)
Cause I was hungry for your sweet 16
(so you lied?)
I get so lost and lame
Oh, just to keep you here you're so naive
Like on a ball and chain but, I wan'a do it again
I wan'a do it again
I wan'a do it again
I wan'a do it again
I wan'a do it again
I wan'a do it again
I wan'a do it again
I wan'a do it again
I wan'a, I wan'a, I wan'a
Everybody I know has to face the trains
Everybody I know makes the same mistakes
Wide eyes and corkscrew hair
Tied with lace you found somewhere
Hard gloss on lipstick smile
Wound up tight to spin for a while
Black jeans with tortured seams
Don't mean that much to me
Cool shades and Dayglo tears
All hide your sixteen years
But I don't like to say, my thoughts out loud
But I'm liking too much what I see
You flirt with every little boy in town
You dress to kill and now you're killing me
In your spring collection
You're just another girl with stars in your eyes
I could have been there and back
But I don't want to go home with you
Don't like your plastic shoes
Don't like your hair dyed blue
Don't like your damned new rose
Don't like your casual pose
I don't wanna go out tonight
But I don't wanna sit here 'cos there's nothing on the radio
You're coming 'round tonight
In your parachute suit that you bought in Portobello
I often call your name out loud
And try to tell you what I'm going through
You'd sooner hang around with all your crowd
'Cos they all pose and think and dress like you
In your spring collection
You're just another girl with stars in your eyes
We could have been there and back
She's got spiders inside her head
She's in danger she's easily led
She's on a mission from morning till night
She takes pictures with infra-red light
Secret agent miss Z-P-19
I still love you miss Z-P-19
But every morning when she jumps out of bed
She shakes the spiders playing inside her head
Oh my baby what shall we do
Babys in a black web I'm feeling blue
Johnnys in the cornershop waiting for you
He's got lots of
Lookout Johnny she's got spiders
Inside her head
She can't control her baby spiders
She wants them dead
She's got radar remote control
She's got Tv in every hole
She's got camera behind her eyes
She's warm and dangerous in every disguise
Oh my baby what shall we do
Babys in a black web I'm feeling blue
Johhnys in the cornershop waiting for you
He's got lots of
Lookout Johnny she's got spiders
All around her door
She can't control her baby spiders
Anymore
She's up and humming at the discostation
When all she really wants is regulations
You're up and humming at the discostation
Up and spinning like a yo yo
And every morning when she catches her train
By Dave Fenton
I've seen it before
I know the score
You're trying to be wild and carefree
You really can't take it no more
I'm trying to think
I can't think clear
Everybody's talking to me
It's gone foggy in here
But as time goes marching home again
It leaves me to reflect
Or was this just a waste of time
Or was this time well spent
And if it marches back again
And orders me to smile
Then will I be prepared
Or will it take a little while
Don't leave me
Don't leave me
Don't leave me now
I'll make it up to you somehow
Don't leave me
Don't leave me
Don't leave me now
I'll make it up to you somehow
I've listened to you
Please listen to me
Don't tie us up completely
Just wait and see
I'll try very hard for a second chance
Which is it to be? One dead romance
Or a handful of dreams? Please tell me
It makes all the difference to me
And I really want to know
I've done so many things I suddenly regret
IfI could only compromise and you'd try to forget
A single kiss, a lovers wish, the past dissolves in tears
The present burns inside of me, the future disappears
Don't leave me
Don't leave me
Don't leave me now
I'll make it up to you somehow
Don't leave me
Don't leave me
Don't leave me now
I'll make it up to you somehow
Oh Yes I will and I'll go
Out of my way to make you happy
Till the sun don't shine and sky stops turning blue
I really want to know
Could I ever be happy
Without somebody who really cared
Somebody like you
Don't leave me
Don't leave me
Don't leave me now
I'll make it up to you somehow
Don't leave me
Don't leave me
Don't leave me now
I'll make it up to you somehow
Don't leave me
Don't leave me
Don't leave me now
I'll make it up to you somehow
Don't leave me
Don't leave me
Don't leave me now
I'll make it up to you somehow

The moon is up
It's grey tonight
And the stars on the battlefield shiver in tears
A dead bright lesson from a million light years
The game is up It's cold tonight
So we crouch in our overcoats waiting for a dawn
Both hungry and simple and calm and warm
Sixty second interval
Here it comes
Sixty seconds, in to view
They're out tonight
The masks are down
And friends meet strangers and strangers are friends
And pain is passion and passion must end
They're here tonight
No fear tonight
And the hands on the faces have started to move
It's slow at first but it's over too soon
Sixty second interval
Here it comes
Sixty seconds, in to view
They're here tonight
No fear tonight
And the hands on the faces have started to move
It's slow at first but it's over too soon
Sixty second interval
Here it comes
Sixty second interval
Here it comes
Here it comes
It's only dreams, it's so unreal
It must be someone elses life I'm leading
You can't be true you're too surreal
I'll always think that when I think of you
We've lived on lines across the world
We've lived on words that no-ones heard
I've jumped the mailman every day
I've sat and watched the phone like vultures pray
I've prayed for you like you prayed for me
I've lost some senses sitting here
But everyday this feelings grown
My engines roar my bird has flown
The silver machines, silver machines
Guess I have been scared but not like this
Guess I have been stoned but never blissed
Guess I'll get some sleep now you're with me
Guess they smiled at my belief
In silver machines, silver machines
(talk)"I guess you've always been a part of me
A part that's been there all my life
We dressed for death to start a second time
and now you're my angel"
It's only dreams, it's so unreal
I can't tell you what to think of me
Think what you like but you can't stop
The silver machines, silver machines
Time's gonna make you a man someday
And you won't want to go out and play with your friends
You'll just sit at home and watch News At Ten
And the pubs'll be closed and you won't have been with your friends
And he picks up the paper and appears to be quite serious
And you smile at him and agree 'cus he's your old man
But still I can't hear you (still I can't hear you)
You make no sense to me
Still I can't hear you (still I can't hear you)
When the time comes I'll disagree with your policy... with your policy
When you get home from work about half past six
You've been working real hard and you feel real sick with the whole world
And your dinner's in the oven and it's all dried up
And your mom don't like it 'cus you messed her up for the evening
So you pick up a paper and appear to be quite serious
And you smile at him and agree 'cus he's your old man
But still I can't hear you (still I can't hear you)
You make no sense to me
Still I can't hear you (still I can't hear you)
When the time comes I'll disagree with your policy... your policy...
with your policy... your policy
(GTR solo)
Time's gonna make you a man someday
And you won't want to go out and play
You'll just sit at home and watch News At Ten
And the pubs'll be closed and you won't have been
When you get home from work about half past six
You've been working real hard and you feel real sick
And your dinner's in the oven and it's all dried up
And your mom don't like it 'cus you messed her up
But you don't wanna sit tight you don't wanna play it cool
You don't wanna whole life like the first day at school
And I wanna fight wars and I wanna die young
So don't keep saying like father like son
I can't hear you (still I can't hear you)
You make no sense to me
I can't hear you (still I can't hear you)
When the time comes I'll disagree
But still I can't hear you (I can't hear...)
I said you make no sense to a boy like me
I can't hear you (still I can't hear you)
Still I can't hear you (still I can't hear you)
Still I can't hear you (still I can't hear you)
The motorcade is never-ending
The marshalls wave their wheel appeal
Only some of them are breathing
Only some know what to feel
The generals grit their teeth and smile
Just for a little while
Until they think they can't be seen
Then pour contempt through eyes that seem like magnets
Small and hard
Magnets
They rolled away down through the arches
The wet streets shined confetti-lined
The sun burns everything it touches
The motorcade dissolves the mind
The madman grits his teeth and smiles
Just for a little while
As though he knows he can't be seen
Then pours contempt through eyes that seem like magnets
Small and hard
Just like magnets
Out of the crowd
Just like magnets
Kennedy's children all magnets
Waste of time at the Alamo
All the kids singing Go Johnny, go Johnny, go!
All the cars parked out of view
And someone on a roof with a job to do
But the hotdogs sell and the cameras roll
It's a star situation, but it's out of control
There's a man with a message and it's written on lead
There's a man who is god, but god is dead
Still we grit out teeth and smile
Just for a little while
As though we think we can be seen
We pour contempt through eyes that seem like magnets
Small and hard
Just like magnets
Out of a crowd
Just like magnets
Kennedy's children all magnets
Magnets staring up
Just like magnets
Burning the sky
Just like magnets
Kennedy's children all magnets
Same thing happens every day can't explain it any way
Sun comes up day goes by, sun goes down and that's when I
come alive to the fact that I've really got no control
I'm alive twenty five but I've still got no control
of me, control of you, control of the hole that the post come through
One stop here two stops there
One big scream and I'm back in my chair
I'm alive to the fact that I've really got no control
I'm alive twenty five but I've still got no control
And I talk too much, and I wont let go
I relax too much in the afterglow
But I'm alive at the Marquee
Live at the Marquee
And it's just another country but the change their times and sides
like the farcical feet of a marching band
So we're all getting cynical
Their smiles may fade but we don't care anymore we're a boys brigade
And we talk too much, and we wont let go
We relax too much in the afterglow
But we're alive at the Marquee
Live at the Marquee
So we all die of cancer
For a few dead flowers outside or a day in the life of a fruit machine
and we're all playing asteroids, there's a score on the screen
Not a soul in the worlds gonna beat, but it won't stop me
And I talk too much, and I wont let go
I relax too much in the afterglow
But I'm alive at the Marquee
Live at the Marquee
Live at the Marquee
I think it was Thursday,
I think it was late,
1930 - Eight.
Got a letter from Hiro,
but left out the date
He said he was waiting
for an outbreak.
Took a look in the mirror,
should have been me.
But there was nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing,
nothing to see.
I draw apart the curtains,
trying to look downstairs
It was utterly futile,
so I combed my hair
-CHORUS-
but all the kids in the factory say
my letter from Hiro came too late
communication, keeps me out of touch.
the sense means nothing,
well nothing much,
like the sign on the door,
too hard to see too soft to touch,
the age of reason,
is out to lunch.
but all the kids in the factory say,
my letter from Hiro, came too late
too late, too late, too late
9 o'clock in the morning,
sun rising in my head,
and I'm not quite sure if I'm just insecure
or if the problem is simply that we don't understand
about the guns and the crossfire,
and the social disease.
and while the sun was rising somewhere in the east
and then a "frag" meant more to Hiro than to me
And all the kids in the factory say,
my letter from Hiro came too late.
Take me to your leader turn the lights out
close the doors and lock the room
I require a meeting with the girl
who took my soul this afternoon
Don't go telling me she's not here now
I followed her home alone Lenina
Hey hey Lenina aliens are pulling your strings
I've got my eyes on you Lenina
I only wanna tell you one thing
Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday
Friday Saturday Sunday where were you
Same old fur-trimmed janitor keeps me
outside in the snow the whole week through
Don't go telling me lies about her
I got my own spies Lenina
Hey hey Lenina aliens are pulling your strings
I've got my eyes on you Lenina
I only wanna tell you one thing
I've been trying to keep it quiet
but the secrets getting out
and everyone seems to know
they got their spies in the sky
and a line from MI5
And a pocketful of files
with the finger on you
Saw you at the window, Alice on a toadstool
breathing little clouds with a smile
as you traced your name
Me with a good view, Johnny on a corkscrew
Cassacks at the door with a smile
say you can't come in
Intelligence says you're out of reach there
Defectors smile from every corner
Love like danger man
Hey hey Lenina aliens are pulling your strings
I've got my eyes on you Lenina
I only wanna tell you one thing
Lenina Karenina I'll tell you one thing
I'll try morse love and semaphore
You'll maybe lip read
I'll leave a message on the radio
to tell you where to come and find me
The sky is grey
He's off for the day
Cos Johnny don't care what the company say
His cold wet forehead has a strain to take
but he smiles for a while
Cos Johnny's in love again
It's loud and red
There's a hole in it's head
Cos Johnny's started on the pistol break
His cold wet forehead has a strain to take
but he smiles for a while
Cos Johnny's in love again
But my friend Johnny's got a lot to enjoy
He don't hang around with the rest of the boys
He sits with his sandwiches gun in hand
Singing 'loves me, loves me not'
and popping off Gods toys
Johnny's in love again
Lost without a trace
in the fields behind his place
and he'll keep on pumping till they all come down
His cold wet forehead wears a bright blue frown
but he smiles for a while
Do you wanna feel good, Do you wanna feel anything
Do you wanna keep searching cos there's no other reason
Do you wanna feel small, Do you wanna fight back
Do you wanna new soul to stop your heart attack
Do you wanna take a walk then come into the garden with me
They tell me Jimmie's seen a sign, says he understands everything
They tell me Jimmie's got a line to the man from the ministry
But Jimmies on sale, He's got a mouth to feed
He's got a mission in life, A thousand lives to lead
Do you wanna take his hand and come into the garden with me
Jimmie Jones and his soul clones will get you (Jimmies got a place for me)
There's a rumour going round that the garden's not the place to be
And little Jimmies in the dark between the devil and the deep blue sea
So we've all gotta change clothes and we've all gotta change sides
We gotta love you, leave you miles behind
But if you wanna talk a walk then come into the garden with me
Jimmie Jones and his soul clones will get you (Jimmies got a place for me)
Heaven is, heaven is
Jimmie says, heaven is
Heaven is logical, heaven is physical, wonderful, beautiful, saleable, cynical
Heaven is the space between your eyes where you disguise your little lives
So humane and so incredibly
well preserved for a moment such as this
In his eyes ten thousand enemies
In his head one pocket for a kiss
All the animals hunting everywhere
Trying everything for something more or less
Lock all your animals in cages
Hide your weakness forget your fears
Live by the laws you made for your safety
Safe behind the walls
you thought would last for years
He's just an isolated case
Johnny jumps and Johnny comes clean
He's just an isolated case
Johnny jumps and Johnny comes clean
Wise men and animals live by their instincts
Their motive for fightings their will to win
Wise man never loved doesn't need the complication
Passion brings no fascination
Doesn't like to think
Animal feelings need no hidden meanings
I'd love to have lied
but I couldn't so I cried
Lock all your animals in cages
Hide your weakness forget your fears
Live by the laws you made for your safety
Safe behind the walls
you thought would last for years
He's just an isolated case
Johnny jumps and Johnny comes clean
He's just an isolated case
Johnny jumps and Johnny comes clean
I'm not messiah I can't move a mountain
I'm not superman I can't save the world
I'm sick of following I'm sick of leaders
Nothing seems to help
but something got to have to
He's just an isolated case
He's just an isolated case
He's just an isolated case

What am I supposed to do
Sitting here in this eternal zoo
With no shoes on
I broke all your records
And I played all your rules
I sold you down the road
I was nobody's fool in my schooldays - my schooldays
What am I supposed to feel
Sitting here in this eternity wheel
With my frown on
Here come my friends / they're gotta help me pull through
Oh, help me out of this emergency room
With my suitcase - my suitcase
What am I supposed to learn
Sitting here in this electrical storm
With no shoes on
Hey mister, won't you leave me alone
I think I need to use your telephone
Call my lawyer, my liar
I took a walk in the park
I tried a kiss in the dark
I was trying to make you love me
I took an overdose
Of the perfume on your clothes
I was trying to make you happy
What am I supposed to say
I didn't like her that much anyway
She was screaming
Here comes the Judge he's gonna help me pull through
Oh, help me out of this emergency room
With my suitcase - my suitcase

By the time you get this message I'll be down
You may recognize my elementary sound
but we can freeze time
We can freeze time
But sometimes I just get trapped in neon signs
It helps me when I read between the lines
but we can freeze time
yeah we can freeze time
But when the daylight titans around me
I pack up all my problems and run
When the daylight titans surround me
I don't know what I'm doing
But I've got to get things done
Don't you ever let your problems get you down
If you just pick up the phone I'll come around
and we can freeze time
yeah we can freeze time
But I've got so much important work to do
It's so hard to stop it bleeding me and you
now we can freeze time
yeah we can freeze time
But when the daylight titans around me
I pack up all my problems and run
When the daylight titans surround me
I don't know what I'm doing
But I've got to get things done
All over the world I run and hide
I slip and slide exactly like the last time
All over the world they come and go
not you, this could be the last time
But what hurts me is I never get the time
to say or do even half of what I'm feeling
when my feeling is for you
But we can freeze time
yeah we can freeze time
So don't you ever let the problems get you down
If you just pick up the phone I'll come around
And we can freeze time
Yeah we can freeze time
But when the daylight titans around me
I pack up all my problems and run
When the daylight titans surround me
I don't know what I'm doing
But I've got to get things done
But when the daylight titans around me
I pack up all my problems and run
When the daylight titans surround me
I don't know what I'm doing
Little white dogs in black and chains
Screaming indignation at your high class games
Till the lights go out
Shut your eyes and go back home
Cramped and shocked in leather jeans
Stoning priests and virgins 'cos they're much too clean
for your new machine
Shut your eyes and go back home
Cause youve been sitting up all night long
Lying in wait where you dont belong
Shooting up strangers
And Ive been covering up for you
Making up songs you can see right through
Someones in danger, think I'm in danger
You play left handed for the revolution
You over-estimate the quick solution
But youll get there soon
Get ready for another Cold War
Another Cold War Oh oh
Another Cold War
Another Cold War Oh oh Oh Oh
But you get let down
when you ask for more
but you rescued me
So I won't stop this automatic fire
Cause youve been sitting up all night long
Lying in wait where you dont belong
Shooting up strangers
And Ive been covering up for you
Making up songs you can see right through
Someones in danger, think I'm in danger
Is this a military state
Is this a military state Im in
By Dave Fenton
I heard someone calling me, from a car across the road.
The lights were out, I never heard the sound of the police car radio.
So I went running down the lane with my plastic bag, not stopping once to look behind.
But the long arm of the law put its foot to the floor, And they met me on the other side.
And they said:What's goin on here then, sonny. Hello, hello
What's goin' on here then, sunbeam, We want to know
But they weren't convinced no matter how I tried.
They pinned me up against the wall.
And my homemade jam in my plastic bag was broken by the Civic Hall. By the Civic Hall.
I closed my eyes to see the Phoenix rise, spread-eagle up against the wall.
And I walked, tight-lipped, from my sinking ship.
Trying hard to keep the furnace cool.
So I thought, easy-come, easy-go. Just play along.
Until I got inside the car. But a stone-age hand left my trust in man.
Went to pieces for the final time.
When they said: What's goin on here then, sonny. Hello, hello
What's goin' on here then, sunbeam. We want to know
But they weren't convinced no matter how I tried.
They pinned me up against the wall.
And my homemade jam in my plastic bag lies broken by the Civic Hall.
By the Civic Hall.
And my homemade jam in my plastic bag lying broken by the Civic Hall.
Just another Tuesday afternoon
Just another sudden squalid squall
Just another day to stay in bed
Just another dismal rendezvous
Only I can see beneath the sheets
Only I can satisfy my God
Only knows why I was ever born
Only I can tell me but I wont say a word
I can't talk anymore *4
Don't you know it's hard to stay awake
Don't you find it's hard to face the floor
Don't you ever make the same mistake
Only I can tell you but I wont say a word
I can't talk anymore *4
Can't pull the curtains
cos theres something in the sky
The animal inside me
sits and begs for suicide
And rain comes pouring through my pillow
I'm so affected by the smallest thing I do
Nothing I remember
hurts me half as much as you
Look at my hands - pretty picture
Look at my head - simple head
Look at my eyes - in the mirror
Looks like someone else instead
I didn't learn about this at school
There's nothing in the papers
or my discharge report
Someone on the phone
they got a message for my dog
Someones in the bathroom
when I want to use the bog
Angers on the road to pulling through
Can't you keep it quiet
I'll put a contract on you
Don't you say a word
Don't you even breathe a sigh
David's life's in danger
He's on permanent high
He can't talk anymore
I can't talk anymore
I could take another little ride in the country
Drive my mule down a lane or two
Maybe I'll recall what it was by the country
That made me so excited when I moved uptown
Or maybe it's the noise in the streets and the car parks
Maybe it's the kids as they swan around
Maybe it's the tires that they burn past my window
Or maybe it's the corner where we all hang out
I got no idea where we go from here
Maybe that's why we're living in Bunkers
I got no idea where we go from here
Maybe that's why we're living in Bunkers
we're living in... we're living in... we're living in...
I went down the road to see the end of the movie
Cus I really like the part where the heroine dies
She takes away so many million secrets
But she tells just a few before she closes her eyes
I reckon that's the high and the low of my weekend
I reckon that's all the crazy wool they can pull
I reckon when tomorrow comes I'll be normal
I reckon I may even go back to school
(CHORUS)
Government thugs keep me in through the week
They call out the cops if I'm seen on the street
Strikes me as pointless in millions of ways
I think I'll be a government thug one day
Don't tell me in anger just tell me for real
Why does everybody try to be a real big wheel?
It doesn't hurt a body to live on the street
With all these cowboys and Bunkers and creeps
By Dave Fenton
Why don't you get out of here
I never needed you anyway
Why don't you just disappear
I'm tired of driving down your logical motorway
You can stay if you don't ask no questions
You can stay if you don't tell no lies
You can stay if you don't read my feature
You can stay if you don't read my mind
Wanna do something new
I Wanna go to America
Go to America
Go to America
But I wanna stay with you
But I wanna take you too baby
Baby, baby, baby
For the moment I'm alive
Everybody trying to steal my insanity
God knows how I can survive
Just hiding out in this occupied territory
You can stay if you don't ask no questions
You can stay if you don't tell no lies
You can stay if you don't read my feature
You can stay if you don't read my mind
Wanna do something new
I Wanna go to America
Go to America
Go to America
But I wanna stay with you
But I wanna take you too baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby
I wanna go to America
Go to America
Go to America
But I wanna stay with you
But I wanna take you too baby
