Remember me?
I used to know film stars
I never made friends
I told you once to get into my car
I'll try it again
Don't talk to the animals
The doctors says that you should stay home
He says you were a terrible mother
Blood and bone
I said hello, seventeen hours ago
Went to london on electric train
Used to go by air
When I inhaled I never felt pain
I shouldn't exhale
Don't talk to the animals
The doctor says you should stay home
He says you look like little miss spencer
Blood and bone, blood and bone
There's nothing like a bad joke to make the enemy choke
Can't excuse the punchline, it never works the first time
Look through broken windows and everybody looks cold
Won't ask for a reason but shutting up's not easy
Tell the one about the silver spoon that I can't understand
Tell the one about the silver spoon and I won't understand
I need secondary sight, just what's lurking behind
Step on cracks, I'm bleeding, I never stopped believing
Winter gave me shelter but summer left me freezing
Thirty thousand feet up, my head has taken enough
There's nothing like a bad joke to make the enemy choke
There's nothing like disaster to make the heart beat faster
There's nothing like a bad day to make the enemy say
We've got a secret society
You all recognise the members
Cause we act normally
But when it gets after midnight
The kids all go out
And we become secret vampires
There's a disco in town
You've never met us
You won't forget us
Got blood desire?
Secret vampires!
The cool kids are dancing
And we sit round the side
It's these marks on our necks
That we are trying to hide
But with our pale expressions
It not hard to see that we are
Secret vampires and we're getting thirsty
You've never met us
You won't forget us
Got blood desire?
Hey, you dark hair, I looked liked what I saw
You stood so close, I don't know who you are
I'm sure you smiled, I think I saw you look
Will you be there for me to see next week?
I saw you last week
I liked what I saw
You looked at me strangely
How about a dance?
Hey, you red shirt, where should we go from here?
The time has come, it's not too late for me
Can I call you? I'll be there if you want
You left looked back, I know you want me too
Just last week, beside me as I danced
Now it's up to you, willing to take a chance
Just last week, beside me as I danced
Now it's up to you, willing to take a chance
Just last week, beside me as I dance
Now it's up to you, willing to take a chance
Just last week, beside me as I dance
Now it's up to you, willing to take a chance
I saw you last week
Don't know who you are
You stood by the bar
I buy records 'cuz my boyfriend says so
I make friends 'cuz my boyfriend says so
I wear these clothes 'cuz my boyfriend says so
I am this way 'cuz my boyfriend says so
I want the best and I need the best
I love my boyfriend
He is my friend 'cuz he is the trend
I love my boyfriend
I am angry 'cuz my boyfriend says so
I am happy 'cuz my boyfriend says so
I am submissive 'cuz my boyfriend says so
I am outrageous 'cuz my boyfriend says so
I want the best and I need the best
I love my boyfriend
He is my friend 'cuz he is the trend
I love my boyfriend
Hey girlfriend, you're suffocating me
I got friends and other people to see
You want love, you got to give me space
Hey girlfriend, no tears on your face
I am outmoded 'cuz my boyfriend says so
I am defective 'cuz my boyfriend says so
I kill myself 'cuz my boyfriend says so
You like to think that you know me
But perhaps don't even like me
I'm sure it's not unexpected
That any love will be rejected
I'm not eccentric in anyway
Just watching my vulnerability
I'm just fed up with fake friends
I think I'll keep my thoughts to myself
You think that you are close to me
But I can see through you all
I used to think that everyone was nice
Now I realise it's for a price
Too many people love themselves
So much that they can't love anyone else
Used to say things secretly
Now say a word and it's used against me
Fed up with bitching backstabbers
I now know who my real friends are
You think that you are close to me
But I can see through you all
So easy to say paranoid
A subject that you like to avoid
Don't really know a thing about me
Won't get to know me personally
Just believe what you are told
Isn't it just easier that way?
Take advantage of my good nature
Confide, then turn around and hurt you
You think that you are close to me
I promised that I would
The same day every week
Be guided how to be
Important we meet
I'll listen as you teach
Just follow, chant and learn
Sign here you must repeat
I'm so much better
They turn look round at me
Now we all look the same
Eight a.m every day
I knew I could change
Will never miss a point
Counting throughout the day
It's me now that they want
I'm so much better
Not all make it through you know
Not all make it through
My future's guaranteed
What were you thinking of
Four years try be like me
What once was a riot is now a slogan
It never really talks about us
Misappropriation of real anger
You never really thought about power, listen up
This is the real power
So listen up doubters
This is the real power
So listen up
I don't want to hear boys sing about girls
In the way that makes them an enigma
It's just 'cause they can't talk and say their feelings
No wonder we are stuck in the dark
This is the real power
So listen up doubters
This is the real power
So listen up
Did you hear a word I said
(Listen up, listen up, listen up, yeah)
Wise up boy, time's at it's end
(Listen up, listen up, listen up, yeah)
You had it, you lost it, so do it again
You never really thought about us
I am a boy, but I'm a feminist
It's not a contradiction in terms, listen up
This is the real power
So listen up doubters
This is the real power
So listen up
D'you know it's offensive to hear you say that
You never really thought about us
I'm sick of the sexists, but I'm not scared
I'm a boy but at least I'm comfortable
This is the real power
So listen up doubters
This is the real power
So listen up
Did you hear a word I said
(Listen up, listen up, listen up, yeah)
Wise up boy, time's at it's end
(Listen up, listen up, listen up, yeah)
Hear that laugh, I think it's at me
Didn't I follow it closely
Fingers point, yes at me mostly
Eyes that stare it seems continually
Cut you open wide
Take a look inside
It seems they own me mentally
Killing me almost directly
We all behave like robots
Left right don't put a foot wrong
We all behave like robots
Marching til I sing this song
Hiding in a large cracking shell
Can no one hear you scream for help
Stay in line don't dare you repel
Hypnotized caught under their spell
Grab you by the hair
Resist if you dare
Defy them all, escape this hell
Why don't you kiss and tell?
They say learn from your mistakes
But I can't learn anymore
They say learn from your mistakes
But I can't learn anymore
That thought just makes me sick
Am I so disposable?
That thought just makes me sick
Am I so disposable?
Why don't you kiss and tell?
I thought I'd got it right for once
It's like some sad ritual
I thought I'd got it right for once
It's like some sad ritual
But friends speak your conscience
Hey I'm just another girl
But friends speak your conscience
Hey I'm just another girl
He remains defiant to the cause
Though he never quite knew what it was
He's working hard for the man upstairs
Seen him once, he's losing his hair
Mr, Important, he's better than you
Index and quotient, he knows what to do
Socially impotent, he drinks with the lads
Mr. Important, in bachelor pads
His parents would be very proud
If only he stood out from the crowd
And made a name that was his own
No corporations, just his alone
But mum and dad, they were so sad
When he lost the job, the bachelor pad
And he just went back home to stay
Now mum and dad want him away
Can I not be normal? 'Cause I'm not a size 10
Play music, be in films or even show my face
Should I be embarrassed if it's such a crime?
Funny how your life depends upon your waistline
Should I kill myself? You're my execution
Why's being slim important? No one is a monster
Don't steal their confidence, it's not yours to take
I don't want to be a model, at least I'm not fake
Funny how your life depends upon your waistline
I am gonna make it, I'm not gonna fake it
What if the world splits into two?
Would you lie in the fracture or look for the glue?
What if the bomb drops out of the sky?
Would you watch the explosion or just run and hide?
I know it seems easier than it really is
What if the liar once told the truth?
Would it destroy your conceptions by the skin of your tooth?
What if your friends turned out to be fakes?
Would you say that you knew or admit your mistakes?
What if your friends were lying to you?
Would you see through the reason or think it was true?
What if the liar once told the truth?
She's got a mind of her own
Not fake like the rest
Doesn't care what they say
She's past the test
Keeps me smiling all day
And I don't care
Coz I now she,s mine
In my own head
Wanna see her, wanna be her, don't go near her
She,s my heroine (x2)
Got a smashing smile
But you can't have her
You can look but don't touch
Her cute little curls
She not skinny but proud
She'd pose in the nude
She is her own self
Like every one should
Wanna see her, wanna be her, don,t go near her
She's my heroine (x2)
Got her pictures on my wall
And I nearly got them all (x2)
Wanna see her, wanna be her, don't go near her
this is limited edition
on icky-coloured vinyl in a poster pack
this is....
get more information send the postcard back
this is....
to get the extra songs buy the 2 cd's
this is....
and collector fever is killing me
raygun, raygun, do you gotta raygun...
this is funded by a major
but shabbily packaged to pretend that it's cool
this is a fake indie label
release the records you want but yr under our rule
this is limited edition
with a nice little sticker and a personal number
this is limited edtion
how they sell it so cheap it's no longer a wonder
We have got the power to change
This world and to rearrange
This regime we're living under
One that tears us all asunder
But nobody wants to know
Happy in their country's hole
No use fighting them you say
They always will get their own way
This could be the start of it all
We all want the system to fall
Get it right down on it's knees
'cos we were born in the 70's
We are young and we can cure it
Save our people from this pit
Of disbelief and great dispair
Show them that it's us who care
Time for revolution is now
No excuses this time let's go
Time has come, take that trip
Transmit it on the teen-c tip
This could be...
It's so synthetic
It's so pathetic
On every hour
You can't stand the power
Teen-c power!
Start the teen-c revolution....it's yr only real solution
This could be....
It's so synthetic it's so pathetic
On every hour
You can't stand the power
Let's go, Bis go
We use the freedom from the sonic pollution
To operate the sounds, hail our revolution
Just 'cos we come ablaze and you can't keep up
Won't sink to your level 'cos we've had enough
We want the static, the disco
Yeah from our radio-o
If you hate us, we don't care
There's teen-c kids everywhere
We want you, do you dare
Life for live, are you scared?
If you hate us, we don't care
There's teen-c kids everywhere
We are gonna hit you where it hurts
Let's go, Bis go
We're at the party and we're ready to disco
Need inspiration, there's no style, oh no
More plastic people and they're coming at you
Sugar sugar kandy pop
Push it down and pull it up
Sugar sugar kandy pop
Just don't let the music stop
You've got the brains, I've got no brawn
You wanna stop, I keep it on
You've got the brains, or so you say
Maybe you'll see things in another way
I've got better things to do
Than hang around with you and you
I've got better places to be
You know the only one is me
Sugar sugar....
Oh, oh, oh, kandy pop
Oh, oh, oh, kandy pop
Oh, oh, oh, kandy pop
Oh, oh, oh, kandy pop
Sugar sugar....
You've got the pain but I don't want to know
And you can keep on trying to put me off
By saying you've got the brains or so you say
Maybe you'll see things in another way
I've got better things....
Sugar sugar.....
Skinny Tie says we forgot the eighties too quickly
Like when the aesthetic mattered
More than the content and the streaks in your hair
Were louder than your guitars
Or more lately your synthesizers
Skinny Tie says that he wants to
Look like Simon Le Bon you know
Eighty one, eighty two kinda time, maybe later
It's the sound, it's around
It's Skinny Tie Sensurround
Skinny Tie says that his mum is worried about
The eye liner in his pocket, says, it's not natural
And that his dad would be turning in his grave if he knew
He comes across some sort of half-baked
Half hearted point about sexuality
Knowing full well that he'd never deviate
No matter how much he convinces
Himself otherwise
Skinny Tie reckons it impresses the girls
How he's free thinking and stuff, not like these lads
That are so common you know, only he doesn't realize
How much we see through him
Skinny Tie is just someone you know
And not someone you'd call a friend
You wouldn't notice if you hadn't seen him for weeks
But you know you'll see him again
It's the sound, it's around
It's Skinny Tie Sensurround
Skinny Tie always asks where the cool party is
But never goes because he chickens out
Of wearing that gold silky suit
That he saw Spandu ballet wear on
Top of the pops and sounds of the eighties
Skinny Tie doesn't realize that no matter
How defensive he gets about it
The eighties probably sucked if you weren't a kid
It's the sound, it's around
It's hip and I'm square and I'm there, I don't care
To be seen to have been, to be part of a scene
And I don't give a damn, I'm not part of their plan
On my own once again, no one cares, oh, the pain
Down at the disco where nobody goes
We are the future that nobody knows
Burn down the cities and smash all the walls
This is our country, Bis nation won't fall
The cool boys, the cool girls got your head in a whirl
It's obscene, it's unclean, all the smut I have seen
We're so young, we're so dumb and our time's still to come
But the one place we go is down to school disco
Down at the disco where nobody goes
We are the future that nobody knows
Burn down the cities and smash all the walls
This is our country, Bis nation won't fall
I'm so hip, you're so square, I'm so cool, I don't even care
All the boys want me so bad but I don't care 'cause they're all so sad
In the classroom I'm just the best
And on the dance floor I just beat the rest
It's getting late, I gotta go, right on down to the school disco
Down at the disco where nobody goes
We are the future that nobody knows
Burn down the cities and smash all the walls
You said they were your lifelong passion
You bought them in the height of fashion
Went to Argos just like your friends
Looked to see the most you could spend
One girl was different on your street
She bought a skateboard from concrete
Everyone laughed, skateboards are out
She didn't belong to the Rollerblade crowd
Yeah
No Rollerblade zero
Four little wheels all in a row
Strap 'em up and you're ready to go
She didn't listen, she just ignored
Her only friend was her hook-ups board
She can use it even when her feet grow
She loves skating, it's not just for show
Until there becomes a new street trend
Her Rollerblade hell will never end
No Rollerblade zero
The wise men say, "Hey
That fashion comes and fashion fades"
Why don't they say, "Hey, there's no room
For your Rollerblades"
No Rollerblade zero
The wise men say, "Hey
That fashion comes and fashion fades"
Why don't they say, "Hey, there's no room
For your Rollerblades"
Okay, okay, yes, fashion comes and fashion fades
But please refrain from wearing your Rollerblades
Okay, okay, yes, fashion comes and fashion fades
Please remove all traces of your Rollerblades
We've got nothing to prove
But you've got nothing to lose
We might not take it all
We only want your rebel soul
Give a little rebel
I got a blue heart
Give a little rebel
And it's a new hurt
It's time to let the people know
You'll never take our rebel soul
A bad influence on youth
But we're the message of the truth
Teen-C power unites us all
And all the kids have got a rebel soul
Our spirits will never sell out
But your mind is a shadow of doubt
Won't be diluted to satisfy you
No matter what you think is true
Give a little rebel soul
I'm not your play toy
Give a little rebel soul
Yeah, we wanna star in an eighties movie
American bratpack members, truly
Yeah, we want big hair, permed and curly
So we can wear shades, looking mean and surly
Yeah we wanna car with a removable roof
So we can air our big hair, bypass the truth
That these things never happen in reality
But we'll be pretty in pink, just wait and see
I'll be the Starbright boy
And you're the starbright girl
I'll be the Starbright boy
And invade your world
Yeah, we wanna star in a skateboard movie
And be bad at the stunts like all amateurs should be
But we'd have so much fun playing, let's pretend
That we'd get good at the stunts, showing off by the end
Yeah, we'll steal sport cars from our dads
And we'll fail our exams 'cuz it's cool to be sad
Yeah, everyday could be a holiday
No school, no rule, just me to say
I'll be the Starbright boy
And you're the starbright girl
I'll be the Starbright boy
And invade your world
We'll be hanging around with Ferris Bueller
Meet Drew Barrymore 'cuz she's way cooler
Buy all our clothes on Rodeo Drive
Never flat lining, we'll be alive
Upside down like we're the lost boys
Endorse the Starbright fake plastic toys
Until the white flag must be unfurled
You see them looking on with interest
And someone says it's the start of a contest
They only want to be like you
They only want to be like you
They dance around and shout about it
Until they finally get their own bit
They only want to be like you
They only want to be like you
So you should something new, everyone stares
Everybody thinks that they're gonna get theirs
And they cut off your hands, no one really cares
Everybody thinks that they're gonna get theirs
So tell a lie or twist the story
Should someone say it's getting boring?
They only hit back at you
'cos they only want to be like you
But still they're looking on with interest
Waiting to see the results of this test
They'll say that none of this is true
Oh but I know they want to be like you
So you shout something new...
We got submissive society
We got a dinosaur monopoly
And all their germs infecting me
We got stars charisma free
We got a passive mentality
Worship the safe, abhor the unique
And never stop to ask the questions
Hi-fi, lo-fi, sci-fis my fi
Don't you know that you've got
Dinosaur germs.
We thought dinosaurs were extinct
But now we know that yr the missing link
It hurts the head when it has to think
No more excuses, take the rest
But you forgot to take what is best
With all respect, this is not a test
And never stop to ask the questions
Hi-fi, lo-fi
You think you're everything in one
Go home at weekends have some fun
Beat up you're wife the kids are hurt
Just 'cos she didn't iron yr shirt
How can you live with yourself?
How can you live with yourself?
How can you live with yourself?
How can you live with yourself?
You'll end up topping yourself
You'll end up topping yourself
You'll end up topping yourself
No loss to anyone else
Get to the airport early flight
Make sure yr suits the best in sight
Abuse the staff the way you know
A sexist, racist homophone
How can you live with yourself?
The gardens pretty and the patio is pretty
But the wives out the front door, what a pity
She'll get half your worth to make up for the hurt
I buy records 'cause my boyfriend says so
I make friends 'cause my boyfriend says so
I wear these clothes 'cause my boyfriend says so
I am this way 'cause my boyfriend says so
I want the best and I need the best
I love my boyfriend
He is my friend 'cause he is the trend
I love my boyfriend
I am angry 'cause my boyfriend says so
I am happy 'cause my boyfriend says so
I am submissive 'cause my boyfriend says so
I am outrageous 'cause my boyfriend says so
I want the best...
Hey girlfriend, yr suffocating me
I got friends and other people to see
You want love, you got to give me space
Hey girlfriend, no tears on yr face
I am outmoded 'cause my boyfriend says so
I am defective 'cause my boyfriend says so
I kill myself 'cause my boyfriend says so
Lying there asleep
I wonder if she knows
That I am going away
I packed up
And I'm heading out the bedroom door
I'm feeling kinda guilty
But this cant be changed
Will she resent me for this
I've said, I'm sorry but please don't worry
There's nothing that I can do
I won't forget you, feel bad I left you
I promise Ill be back soon
It's been two weeks now
Since I left you at
The window with sad eyes
It's bad 'cos I can't even
Talk to you on the phone
But you know that very soon
Now I'll be home
It won't be long now
I'll see you at the break of dawn now
I'm coming home now
It won't be long now
She won't be seen today 'cause
She was let down by those near
They thrived upon blood and fear
How hard to hold back a tear
She won't be seen today 'cause
She was made to be a fool
The taunts the threats were so cruel
She can't take more ridicule
And now she's gone
Gone where no one can hurt her
And now she's free
She can smile for the first time
She won't be seen today 'cause
The fill all her life with dread
Pulls back the plaster it's read
Comes home and goes to her bed
She won't be seen today 'cause
She's now seen her best friend cry
How much longer can she lie
Before one of them will die
This is not my idea of a good existence
(t-shirts, dresses, books, stickers) the bargain beauty
(seven inches, shoes, glitter) she loves the sales
(hairdye, chocolate, toys, pictures) shops for her friends
(make-up, paper, pens, knickers) shops for herself
When in doubt she will just get both
She's a shocking shopaholic
Lots of bags, happy all the time
She's a shocking shopaholic
(computer games, notebooks, bags) draws out a plan
(videos, hairclips, sweets, mags) three for a fiver
(guitars, jumpers, cds, socks) it is so pleasing
(keyrings, jackets, lps, hats) tension releasing
I've been a happy consumer since 1989
Tell me when the sales start
Yes I'm always on time
I've got a mind like elastic
But I'm first in line
Today, when every thing's changed I'm feeling quite strange
It's not in my head and it just gets in my way
We've done nothing wrong, it's taken so long
Should've read more books instead of listening to songs
Is it meaningless and excuse for stress?
A few key quotations always better than yes
I'd be enigmatic, never talk automatic
Like the crowd from the art school, they're so important
We're all afraid of sale or return
When the damage is done, this is sale or return
Then you're sale or return
(This is dead stock and reduced to clear)
When there's nowhere to run
(This is sale or return)
They you're sale or return
(This is dead stock and it's in your kitchen)
(Still inside a plastic bag)
Been used as a trading tool, last big thing uncool
We're tied to a time bomb, everyone can see through
I've read lie after lie, I'll stick your pen in your eye
You don't speak for the people any more than I
I'd live on a plane, nothing to explain
No sugar-free diet, I'd rather mine was plain
I would never land and be devalued by man
I'd breathe the air recycled, that's not my disease
We're all afraid of sale or return
Mummy was a model back in 1983
Before the skinny girls invaded the industry
She got a habit, got some plastic much too young
She wants Dustin Hoffman but she's not much on Mrs. Robinson
You're looking good for your age
Looks like you've stepped off the page
Thanks Ricki, thank you Jenny
You made me normal today
Daddy's such a scruff in his played out teenage gear
Hasn't cut his hair and the shampoo's never near
Now can you make him look like other's people dad
Will you please help me 'cause it makes my life oh so bad
I don't look the correct way
Please help make me normal today
I don't look the correct way
Please help make me normal today
Is hate really negative, is love really positive?
It's not place to speak about emotion
Other side of my face, dealing with devotion
Who will want to know? Too hard to be personal
Who will want to know? Run the risk of losing all
Who will want to know? Where did I find this heart?
Who will want to know? Anesthetic jump-start
Is hate really negative, is love really positive?
Yeah, I can fell misplaced, red faced and nervous
But it's no disgrace, she uses super space-dust
Who will want to know? Lets me know I'm still a kid
Who will want to know? And it's okay to act like it
Who will want to know? Makes me happy for awhile
Who will want to know? Galactic movie-star smile
Is hate really negative, is love really positive?
No strong point, not my territory
No strong point, subject new to me
No strong point, heart stings, its a hit
No strong point and no anesthetic
The party's at it's end
A style is named and it's dead
There is no latest trend
I eat just what I'm fed
Pump it up, pump it up
Pump it up bah bad up
To the top, to the top
To the top dah dah dop
The party's at it's end
A style is named and it's dead
There is no latest trend
If it's a new beginning
Then I don't want to know
If it's not worth pretending
Then I don't want to know
I'm just so sick of listening
What should I want to know
I lost my 15 minutes
On Eurodisco
The musics in my head
I thought music was dead
Give me the words I'll sing
But I can't feel a thing
I'll be there pump it up,
Pump it up, pump it up, bah bad up
Just don't stop, just don't stop
Just don't stop, stop dah dah dop
The party's at it's end
A style is named it's dead
There is no latest trend
If it's a new beginning
Then I don't want to know
If it's not worth pretending
Then I don't want to know
I'm just so sick of listening
What should I want to know
I lost my 15 minutes
On Eurodisco
Eurodisco, you're so disco
If it's a new beginning
Then I don't want to know
If it's not worth pretending
Then I don't want to know
I'm just so sick of listening
What should I want to know
I lost my 15 minutes
Get yourself an image and a nice wee slogan
Without a clue into what you're enrolling
But you seek approval and that of a man
That's why you're not in the same league as I am
Reveal your hardcore past
And get into the press
And get your story straight
For your prepared test
You think that it's all new
And its something to say
Maybe someone should tell
You've gone around it the wrong way
Oh, no there's nothing wrong, every thing's all good
Forget what's been fought for glamor won't hide the truth
Just you forget the facts, it's more fun to tease
The only ones you influence are the naive
So once you're out the charts
How will your message fare
What happens in 2K
Let's face it you just don't care
It's a tabloid thing, I wouldn't understand
Don't know the make-up of a very different man
He wants his inches filled with your idle talk
Have I done something to upset you?
Was my dress a bit too see through?
Was it talking to that boy I knew?
Don't you like my brand new hairdo?
You tell me I deserve this
'Cos I'm a slut and I provoke you
To do these things to me
Why can't I wear makeup tonight?
Don't really think my t-shirts too tight?
Going out, can't let me out your sight
Can I see my friends without a fight?
You tell me I deserve this
'Cos I'm a slut and I provoke you
To do these things to me
Always tell me I still need you
Always tell me you don't mean to
Always tell me I still need you
Always tell me you don't mean to
Tell me when I talk I am a flirt?
I agree, I prefer the long skirt
How nice of you to let me not work
in the late 1990's into the twentieth century
the idols, the press darlings are the faceless DJs
that's not to say that i'm not, a techno disco lover
i keep it under cover
chorus:
(i just want some personality) give me action and drama
(who to look up to, who i'm supposed to be) give me '80's Madonna
(i just want some personality) give me action and drama
(who to look up to, who i'm meant to be) give me club tropicana
i'm no pro-retro know-all, i want faces for the future
i'd like my idols human not programmed in computers
pop music's not gonna die, it just has no direction
we need a plan of action
chorus x2
i'll be getting fresh at the weekend
throwing myself in at the deep end
trying to keep up with the dj
he has no voice and no say
(i just want some personality) give me action and drama
(who to look up to, who i'm supposed to be) give me '80's Madonna
(i just want some personality) give me action and drama
(who to look up to, who i'm meant to be) give me bananarama
I am the DJ
I never give up
And I like to meet you
I can't tell the difference
The soap box or the stage
It's just like the process
When wrestling became fake
Genuine believers
Are shunted and sheltered
Who will be remembered?
When they fall and they die by submission
We sing the songs
The songs, the songs of dead wrestlers
My hope is gone
It's gone, it's gone
Believing in something
Can sometimes mean nothing
Conviction can be tamed
Why do you feel ashamed?
Diluted and dumbed down
The edit, the voice sound
My TV, no volume
I can't hear, I just see the lips moving
We sing the songs
(The songs, the songs of dead wrestlers)
My hope is gone
(It's gone, it's gone on dead wrestlers)
We sing the songs
(The songs, the songs of dead wrestlers)
I don't belong
(In songs, in songs of dead wrestlers)
Dead wrestlers
Dead wrestlers
Dead wrestlers
We work hard
We live hard
We work hard
We live hard
We sing the songs
(The songs, the songs of dead wrestlers)
My hope is gone
(It's gone, it's gone on dead wrestlers)
We sing the songs
(The songs, the songs of dead wrestlers)
I don't belong
(In songs, in songs of dead wrestlers)
We sing the songs
(Your politics are pantomime)
(The songs, the songs of dead wrestlers)
My hope is gone
(Your punches miss me every time)
(It's gone, it's gone on dead wrestlers)
We sing the songs
(Maybe I'll see you on the other side)
(The songs, the songs of dead wrestlers)

Her father had worked all his life
Her mother was a good housewife
Inspiration I need, it's a girl star I need
Daddy said all men were workers
Girls should be sweet, be good mothers
Inspiration I need, it's a girl star I need
Girls on t.v. thin and pretty
Fronting bands while acting flirty
Inspiration I need, it's a girl star I need
She looked through all her teenage mags
Five foot eight, thirty four C bras
Inspiration I need, it's a girl star I need
Most girls models and Baywatch stars
Nice long legs and a nice trim arse
Inspiration I need, it's a girl star I need
She was small and quite chubby
She was now abnormal this way
Inspiration I need, it's a girl star I need
Why no natural girls in bands
All four males sounding very bland
Inspiration I need, it's a girl star I need
Just wanna have fun, be herself
Female role model for some help
Inspiration I need, it's a girl star I need
All I want is a real girl star
It's a girl star that I really need
It's a girl star that I really need
So now she's in her own pop band
Got a single out which wasn't planned
Inspiration she is, for other girls to do this
So maybe more will follow her
Will things be equal in the future?
Inspiration she is, it's a girl star she is
Ten years in prison, out for revenge
Pretend I'm straight and get a wife
Track down my victim and follow them
Find out when they're alone and shoot 'em dead
Don't frame me 'cause I'll get back, I will
I'm gonna get a disguise, you won't know me
Mustache and glasses look pretty
I'll buy you presents and charm you well
You'll fall for me and fall down dead
I got the automatic freestyle
A walking contradiction, I walk for miles and miles
Yes, and now discos in the house
What's it all about, what's it all about, y'all?
Good God, I got an itching in my feet
Gotta dance, gotta dance to the disco beat
It's automatic, but it's so freestyle
I might dance like a robot but it's all mine
So why you dancing like that?
Wearing your pork pie hat
I guess that now we know
Why they call you disco
So why you dancing like that?
You'll be itching and scratching like you was a cat
Got you all in check
But like the wu-tang say, "Protect ya neck"
We be getting down with the disco crew
We start the dancing and we say fuck you
To all the people who treat us like toys
We be kicking it down like were the beastie boys
So why you dancing like that?
Wearing your pork pie hat
I guess that now we know
Why they call you disco
Kicking like you're Bruce Lee
With your partner ally
I guess that now we know
Up on the mountain I'll be counting
Days 'til we meet again
Get my revenge, we'll never be friends
Keep building up my brain
Just watch your back for my next attack
You never know when I'll strike
Could be today, don't get in my way
You'll see what you'll never like
I've got the brain
I'm insane
(You can't stop the power)
See you in pain
Yet again
(You won't stop the power)
I'm your creator and your enslaver
I can destroy you all
You've got the brainpower of a sunflower
Get ready for a fall
I'll find a way to spoil your day
To stop you from doing good
I'll take you out, it's no use to shout
I am a computer and I dance like metronome
I am now invading thru the TV in your home
But you won't see me as I make you a code jerk
I am stationary, I am run by clockwork
I countdown to zero, I'm a binary abacus
Working in machine code, I'm the brain for all of us
Look out, I byte at the fingers of office clerks
I am stationary, I am run by clockwork
To all the people in the east, clockwork punk
To all the people in the north, clockwork punk
To all the people in the west, clockwork punk
And all the people in the south, clockwork punk
I might be pale and grey, but inside I pogo
Getting silicon to the punk and disco
But you won't see me as I make you a code jerk
I am stationary, I am run by clockwork
Eating up your numbers as you feed me more and more
Only numbers I see are the 1, 2, 3 and 4
Look out, I byte at the fingers of office clerks
I am stationary, I am run by clockwork
To all the people in the east, clockwork punk
To all the people in the north, clockwork punk
To all the people in the west, clockwork punk
And all the people in the south, clockwork punk
I am a computer and I dance like metronome
I am a computer and I dance like metronome
I am a computer and I dance like metronome
Counting down to zero, clockwork punk
To all the people in the east, clockwork punk
To all the people in the north, clockwork punk
To all the people in the west, clockwork punk
To all the people in the south, clockwork punk
To all the people of Glasgow, clockwork punk
To all the people of Dublin, clockwork punk
To all the people of Dundee, clockwork punk
Retrogressive sex, I am the x-defect
I am consumer, I am prostitute
I am concealer, I am not like you.
Yr excuses always are so lame
You are giving me a bad name
Retrogressive sex, I am the x-defect
Always hiding in yr office block
Every hour, all day round the clock
Retrogressive sex, I am the x-defect
I am incomplete, I am incorrect
I am apology, I am defect
Yr excuses...
I told you so, you won't let go
You can't pretend, we are not men.
You always try to be like me
You'll never get my sympathy
Retrogressive sex, I am the x-defect
And if you leave me black and blue
You know the scum will get to you
there's nothing like a bad joke to make the enemy choke,
can't excuse the punchline, it never works the first time,
look through broken windows, and everybody looks cold,
won't ask for a reason, but shutting up's not easy.
tell the one about the silverspoon that I can't understand
tell the one about the silverspoon and I won't understand
I need secondary sight, just what's lurking behind,
step on cracks I'm bleeding, I never stopped believing,
winter gave me shelter, but summer left me freezing,
thirty thousand feet up, my head has taken enough.
there's nothing like a bad joke to make the enemy choke,
there's nothing like disaster to make the heart beat faster,
there's nothing like a bad day to make the enemy say,
We can be your inspiration
And this is our declaration
We're punk kids for liberation
Prepare for bis nation
Go go go can you count to three I got a message for you
We won't let you leave the one you know is true
We won't let you sleep but do you want to know
You've got no style no inspiration
This is the sound that grows
And we all go go go
And the people they want to know
Why they love it so
Go go go can you count to three I got a message for you
We won't let you leave the one you know is true
We won't let you sleep but do you want to know
You've got no style no inspiration
Your every action is a positive action
And being on the outside is
Just part of the attraction
I won't stop screaming even
If the doors open for aliens
I won't apologize 'cos
The way to creation is always destruction
We're the ones who feel insane
We're the ones who won't desert you
There's nothing sacred in our name
All for one we are young aliens
Are you a young alien?
Do you feel like you're on your own?
We are the young aliens
We move through computer and phone
I won't stop screaming even
If the doors open for aliens
I won't apologize 'cos
The way to creation is always destruction
We are young aliens
They think we don't exist
But can we count on you
To add to our list
Just keep the secret
You're gonna need it
I don't want to spend my life pretending
They're listening, there is no sound
Go round in circles, I cannot hear you
It's overcast, now lost the chance
Why make the effort? It's all so easy
It's up to you, who's behind you
Reel off a list of two million tours
Someone to blame, it's so closed off
Don't be so threatened, it's up to you now
Prioritize but let's make sense
Have you forgotten what brought you here?
Can't give it up, take while it's here
You did it last year, no need to do more
We eat what is left, all we deserve
Inclusion is power, a superpower
We eat what it left, all we deserve
Inclusion is power, superpower
Desensitized to everything
I know what I have and I'll keep on living
Can she join in, my daughter?
The enemy is not what you wanted
You think we're gone but you're so wrong
We are not hiding, planning the next move
The day has gone, now can you sleep
Just underscore and then repeat it
We eat what is left, all we deserve
Inclusion is power, a superpower
Is there some space within a song?
This is where I live, so move me
They're listening, there is no sound
Go round in circles, I cannot hear you
We eat what is left
(Tfel si tahw tae ew)
We eat what is left

Childlike appearance used as decoy
A warning to all saboteurs, 'be fooled and be dead'

Flying saucers filled with sherbet.
We want the right to eat sweets without yr frowning.

Ten pee mixture for the way home.
This is an advertisement
Hey! make way for the sweet shop avengerz.
So make the sweet adjustment
A-okay! we're the sweet shop avengerz.
Never too old to eat sweets, unless you feel it.
Chocolate mice with strawberry centre.
Reclaim the rights to rot teeth, you know you need it.
Candy shrimps, they're foamy inside.
It's not a crime to be seen sucking a lolly.
Vampire sweets that stick to your teeth.
And it's hardly obscene to fill yr trolley.
Ten pee mixture for the way home.

You gotta make a statement of intent
If we're your careless children
The monuments you're building
Are subject to reclaim, yeah, yeah
And are ours to disclaim, yeah, yeah
Making discos of your castles
We are tearing up your plans
We won't be xeroxed for the future
Filed by bureaucratic man, hot damn
You gotta make a statement of intent
If we're your misplaced youth
And your lies are the truth
Then mistakes are illusions, yeah, yeah
A simple yes is confusion, yeah, yeah
We don't need a history lesson
Museums are made to lie
We won't be xeroxed for the future
Careless children never die, hot damn
Thinly veiled as national interest
With cold hearts paid to lie
Be made a happy xerox
Be a number four or five
Don't tell me what I should be listening to
'Cause if I like it, I'll be screaming next to you
If it's a passion, I'll go wherever I choose
Punk rock doesn't just belong to you
I won't let go, I want it more
I feel your stare but it won't move me
I won't let go, I want it more
I feel your stare but it won't move me
Think you know me, you've never opened your mouth
If you point, I'll break your finger off
Segregation's nothing new to me
Maybe your idols won't like your snobbery
I won't let go, I want it more
I feel your stare but it won't move me
I won't let go, I want it more
I feel your stare but it won't move me
I won't let go, I want it more
I feel your stare but it won't move me
I won't let go, I want it more
I feel your stare but it won't move me
We need evil and cerebral
Keep on scoring punk rock points
So upset by what is in your sight
It's, oh, so precious and it's just not right
Repetitive and now I expect it
Just boring, won't put me off one bit
I won't let go, I want it more
I feel your stare but it won't move me
I won't let go, I want it more
I feel your stare but it won't move me

You think you look so cool
With yr t-shirt tucked in
Go to a public school
And get yr face punched in
Stop wearing rugby shirts
Nice and fleecy
You stupid looking squirt
Killing you is easy
Ooooooh public schoolboy
You love yr new rucksack

She took your school shirt back

Stop wearing those tight jeans
Can you still walk
I hate yr loud voices
And the way you talk
Ooooooh public schoolboy
Stop me, it's a red light
Do the same for you, I guess you're right
Stare at me, head at an angle
Temporarily, extremely fragile
Can't look, that's no surprise
Want a challenge? Try this for size
Read this book, opened it for you
Face so sheer you can see the whole way through
Here is my hand, don't let go
Falling, pick me up
You asked what was up
You may not have much
But what you have is what I need
It's for my own protection
Deja vu, there's more of them
Motivation, get the chromium
Disgraced, it all comes out
Toleration, and I will come around
That was some revelation
No alternatives, can't have duplication
Acknowledgment, there is no time
With this sponsorship, this job just isn't mine
Here is my hand, don't let go
Here is my hand
Falling, pick me up
You asked what was up
You may not have much
But what you have is what I need
It's for my own protection
Protection

Chasing evil out this town

Who's your favorite person?
And do you know them personally?
Maybe he's a she
And she's a reject, she's just like me
Does it make your bones break
When you're sitting thinking of them?
Does it make your cold heart seize
Again, again, again, again, again?
I've got blu tack on my back
Got it signed with personal thanks
Take it down, you bet, I daren't
I'm hanging over like a poster parent
Wanna know he's mine
And that he'll never cheat on me
'Cuz everywhere I go
His face is all that I can see
Maybe, it's just he's more
Popular than I assumed
Maybe, I'll go one better
I'll get his stone cold heart exhumed right now
Boyfriend, don't try to stop me
Boyfriend, I love you equally
Boyfriend but this is inherent
I was six years old and a fast lane victim
Tattered jeans and pigtails, going to self-destruct
I'm gonna suck your mother and lack self respect
Reveal my hopes and fears of a lost girl
Teenage sex
Star descent
Let's go steady
There's one more name
Don't get me from school as I won't be there
Exploited, cheated and angry is the way I feel
Where are you today while I crave some love
Hey popstar you look real silly
I want to kill you now
(Kill, kill, kill)
Hey popstar you're such a fake
You really look a joke
(Joke, joke, joke)
Hey popstar I hate your guts
You don't deserve to live
(Die, die, die)
Hey popstar get out my face
I hate the sight of you
(Hate, hate, hate)
One day you'll realize
That you're not that great
The people they hate you
They think you're a fake
Hey popstar look at yourself
You are a fuckin' state
(Fuck, fuck, fuck)
Hey popstar look at yourself
Oh, why can't you just wait
(Wait, wait, wait)
I am me, you're not you
I like me, you love you
I am real, you're not true
I hate you too
Hey popstar your time has come
Now we know who you are
(Who, who, who)
Hey popstar give up the fight
You're looking like a fool
(Fool, fool, fool)
Hey popstar you're just pretend
The kids won't be deceived
(No, no, no)
Hey popstar you're killing me
We just want the truth
Hey plastik people you're the stars of the screen
Seen you posing in your magazines
Watch your movements so synchronized
Can't avoid you on a friday night
Ooh oh oh the plastik people
So syncronized
Hey t.v man says you'll go far
You got a record deal, a new sports car
What's the matter with yr plastik face
Have you got a hair out of place?
Ooh oh oh the plastik people
So synchronized
Ooh oh oh the plastik people
On a friday night
Icky poo air raid
The music that she wants to play
Is not deemed to be okay
She loves all that weird stuff
That weird people seem to love
She's sick of all the popular bands
Wants something not quite so bland
No more new kids on the block
She loves to hear that disco punk rock
Her favourite band is sonic youth
Well at least she tells the truth
The girls at school they love take that
And mark owen is the name of their cat
The name of their cat
Ooooh ooooh
She's gonna get you
With her icky poo, icky poo
They slag her off constantly
To the latest boyzone l.p
She's sitting in the corner there
Listening to huggy bear
She's sick of all the formula bands
Wants something not quite so bland
No more new kids on the block
She loves to hear the disco punk rock
And then on the way home from school
The girls think they look pretty cool
And join in the repeat to fade
And then icky poo air raid
The air raid
She's gonna get you
With her icky poo, icky poo
Shes gonna tell sonic youth
To get you with her icky poo, icky poo
Hey don't stop the air raid! x4
She's gonna get you
With her icky poo, icky poo
She's gonna tell sonic youth
She's gonna tell sonic youth
Unsure of what is going on
I bite my lip and I cannot seem to stop
My headache has now dissolved
Switch me off, I'm getting real hot
So I'm dehydrating
It's gonna be what we can make it
All those bad words are erased
It's all exploding in so many good ways
There is no time to hesitate
And although I'm feeling scared
I want it all
It's early on and I feel sick
Take me by the wrist and point quick
No distortion at this bit
So don't take too long I think I need my fix
Something is so complete
Obvious that you are the final piece
Want it to happen, it will
Stare so hard the picture is not real
There is no time to hesitate
And although I'm feeling scared
I want it all
After those good intentions
(My good intentions)
Don't think I need your wise directions
It's there and I'm going to prove it
(I'll prove it to you)
But if you listen too close you'll lose it
There's no point in delaying
(No need to delay)
Just because of what they might be saying
When you actually realize
(And you'll realize)
Then I think I will start to close my eyes
There is no time to hesitate
And although I'm feeling scared
I want it all
There is no time to hesitate
And although I'm feeling scared
I want it all
There is no time to hesitate
There is no time to hesitate
There is no time to hesitate
I want it all
I want it all
I want it all
I want it all
She looks great, she talks nice
But she is famous
I can write, I can look
For me too glamourous
I can't pass, I can't pay
To be in their shoes
Stand back and I'll admire
Don't want to cause a fuss
Talk to me (I'm not within yr reach)
Be with me (not within yr reach)
I think you'll see (it's so ? )
It's just I'm so famous
I can dream, but I know
You're too good for me
I'd treat you, I'd spoil you
And do it gently
Take you out but with me
You're far too pretty
I'll be good, and at night
I would leave quietly
Respected, you look proud
With your head held high
All know you, don't know me
As you walk on by
So many, they love you
I bet you don't cry
They can't mock, they can't talk
At least you did try
Hanging around in all the right bars
Could have taken this too far
Searching for the latest creep show
New bands are welcome oh know
This one man
That sells the new beer
Won't drink to quick
Won't make nothing
Sell sell sell the unit shifter
You won't take advantage of us
Is it the next big thing better than everything?
We've seen it all before
Are you the coolest band?
Yes we were so unplaned we've seen it all before
Get yr checkbooks on the table
Money talks, it's able
Blind us with the latest jargon
By this point most are too far gone
We know how to break the routine
Don't matter pressures of scene
Sell sell sell the unit shiter
You won't take advantage of us
You're trying to be someone else
You're trying to be someone else
The future is clear
Let's get into gear
I'm willing to ask
Do you wanna go my way?
You're out on your own
You're never alone
There's people around
But do you wanna go my way?
They threw me out of town, said I'm a hooligan
They never want to see my ugly face again
I'm looking for a ride, I need to get someplace
I'm feeling disillusioned with the human race
Heat on the skyline, have you got the time?
I'll sit here by the road for yet another day
But whatever road you're taking, I will go that way
Theres trouble in town
They wanna see you go down
Let's make our escape
Do you wanna go my way?
I'll give you what's mine
I'll throw you a line
Just make up your mind
Do you wanna go my way?
What do you want me to say?
Just give me a little trust
And answer me
Do you wanna go my way?
I don't know where I am but it's a long way from home
I haven't got a penny for the telephone
I don't know who my friend are, who my friends will be
But I'm feeling like it's happening for you and me
You're my driver, I'm your passenger
The night is looking friendlier than any day
We're racing into it and I will go that way
The future is bright
We'll drive by night
If anyone asks
We're busy making our own way
We'll sleep in the shade
And watch what we've made
They'll never catch on
So do you wanna go my way?
What do you want me to say?
Where's the disco?
Come on girls and give it a shot
Us boys will always come out on top
Who will be the disco queen?
While disco kings are all I've seen
Come on soon we'll give you the beat
So we can see the best dancing feet
And we can find a disco whizz
So here's a chorus by the pop group bis
You've got to dance to the disco beat
You've got to dance with the disco feet
Thank you all for dancing well
Yeah, all you kids are really swell
But life goes on and time get's thinner
Who's going to be our lucky winner
Girl number six is just the best
No boy number eight; let's have a test
We will give you all a second go
So get ready again to dance for...
You've got to dance to the disco beat
You've got to dance with the disco feet
I eat hot coal
You've got to dance to the disco beat
Telling you it's your life, like it's patronising advice
You don't take heed, your conscience feeds off of being above those needs
1-2-3-4 open the door, gotta be living one level above the basment floor
Your mind is slack, your brain is black
Open all hours for the next attack
You'll never see me, you wanna be me
I'm the spirit of taking it easy
You on conveyer, nothing to say
I wouldn't think of you in my last prayer
Too much thought to achieve
So you puff and you wheeze
A walking example, your income is ample
But you've got fuck all to sample
Whatcha gonna do, whatcha want to do
Look at what you did
Don't be a cookie cutter kid
Don't turn out like your parents
You're being watched on 24 hour surveillance
Keep your thoughts to yourself
Or you'll be living your life on the national health
A brand new car, you'll go far
Every second kid in a burger bar
You got a mclife, you'll get a mcwife
Killing you softly with the kitchen knife
But it's gotta be said that it's up to you
To your ideals always remain true
When they tell you to change your mind
True belief I will hope you find
Never believe what the papers say
There never was any good old days
They tell you lies, you don't ask twice
Always at war with the other side
Picure of happiness with your mobile phone
Status symbol for the great unknown,
Be afraid of yourself, 'cos nobody else
I know what it's like to be martyred for the cause
I watch television, I've seen everything
The cinema says that my life will be alright
I'll watch the end credits, learn the words and sing
Look in the mirror, got no reflection,
It's for my own protection
(I've got the soundtrack in my head,
And I believe what the cinema says)
The cinema says that my life will be alright
I watch television, I know everything
There's only one sure thing in my 90 minutes
You make me a mix tape, I'll be your friend
I'm thinking too much to think positively
Blame joy division or the drum and bass trend
Look in the mirror, got no reflection
It's for my own protection
I got the soundtrack in my head
And I believe what the cinema says
Yeah, I sleep deeper in my bed
'cos I believe what the cinema says
The miserables, they just pretend
That they believe what the cinema says
And I'm happy 'cos I've got a friend
In a nightclub in town
I would love to sit down
All the seats are taken
All the hearts are breaking
Have you been here before?
Got a boyfriend for sure
To Chicago I'll go
Friendly people I'm told
Have a drink I'm paying
Forget what I'm saying
Is the music too loud
Or am I down and out?
Have you been to the States?
Was it well worth the wait?
Get a visa for work
Send the cheques back
When will we go to Chicago?
No, I'm not on my own
I am waiting, I am waiting
No, I'm not on my own
I am waiting, I am waiting for someone
Where'd you get that money?
Not so sure it's funny
Pockets feel so empty
Give the cheques back
Looking for a friend,
I felt you whisper in my ear
The sound was muffled,
But the meaning it was clear
'get out of my life', you said
'i don't want you,
You're such a stupid asshole'
But it can't be true
Don't tell me I haven't got any function
I'll go down kicking, yeah
Don't tell me I haven't got any function
I'll go down kicking, yeah
Don't tell me I haven't got any function
I'll go down kicking, yeah
Don't tell me I haven't got any function
And I'll go down kicking, yeah
I believe in what you do
I don't believe in what you say
And now you think everything's cool
But I see red
And now in all my dreams you know
I see you, I see you dead
Don't tell me I haven't got any function
I'll go down kicking, yeah
Don't tell me I haven't got any function
I'll go down kicking, yeah
Don't tell me I haven't got any function
I'll go down kicking, yeah
Don't tell me I haven't got any function
And I'll go down kicking, yeah
How much of what you say is true?
How much of what you do is pure?
I know nothing that you say is true
I'm kicking, yeah
Don't tell me I haven't got any function
I'll go down kicking, yeah
Don't tell me I haven't got any function
I'll go down kicking, yeah
Don't tell me I haven't got any function
I'll go down kicking, yeah
Don't tell me I haven't got any function
And I'll go down kicking, yeah
Your beats are at the office, sir
Your beats are at the office, sir
Your beats are at the office, sir
Your beats are at the office, sir
Your beats are at the office, sir
Sit upstairs in the leather chair
You talk to people and pretend to care
It's no good working for the company
When resisting power comes naturally
'Cause there's one thing I know for
One thing I know for sure and that's you
There's one thing I know for
One thing I know for sure, I got that feeling
I don't want to be a high-fly, no mind
(Your beats are at the office, sir)
Look right, skin tight
(Your beats are at the office, sir)
High, dry, tough guy
(Your beats are at the office, sir)
White line, feels fine
(Your beats are at the office, sir)
Don't want responsibility
Just ask that girl sitting next to me
She works alone where nobody's near
And she's making music like you'd never hear
'Cause there's one thing I know for
One thing I know for sure and that's you
There's one thing I know for
One thing I know for sure, I got that feeling
I don't want to be a high-fly, no mind
(Your beats are at the office, sir)
Look right, skin tight
(Your beats are at the office, sir)
High, dry, tough guy
(Your beats are at the office, sir)
White line, feels fine
(Your beats are at the office, sir)
Programming is my one outlet
It beats the sickness in my chest
I have these beats inside my head
Back to the office block instead
Your beats are at the office, sir
High-fly, no mind
(Your beats are at the office, sir)
Look right, skin tight
(Your beats are at the office, sir)
High, dry, tough guy
(Your beats are at the office, sir)
White line, feels fine
(Your beats are at the office, sir)
Your beats are at the office, sir
Your beats are at the office, sir
Your beats are at the office, sir
In the late 1990's, into the twentieth century
The Idols, The Press Darlings are the faceless DJ?s
That's not to say that I'm not a techno, disco lover
I keep it under cover
(I just want some personality)
Give me action and drama
(Who to look up to, who I'm supposed to be)
Give me '80's Madonna
(I just want some personality)
Give me action and drama
(Who to look up to, who I'm meant to be)
Give me club Tropicana
I'm no pro-retro know-all, I want faces for the future
I'd like my Idols, human not programmed in computers
Pop music's not gonna die, it just has no direction
We need a plan of action
(I just want some personality)
Give me action and drama
(Who to look up to, who I'm supposed to be)
Give me '80's Madonna
(I just want some personality)
Give me action and drama

Give me club Tropicana
I'll be getting fresh at the weekend
Throwing myself in at the deep end
Trying to keep up with the DJ
He has no voice and no say
(I just want some personality)
Give me action and drama
(Who to look up to, who I'm supposed to be)
Give me '80's Madonna
(I just want some personality)
Give me action and drama
(Who to look up to, who I'm meant to be)
Music For A Stranger World
Why Don't We Go Home?
Time was when i could forget about feelings
Time was when i should have stopped all my breathing
Give me the day when my hope evaporates
I'd change my name anyway
You and i
Open wide
Why don't we go home?
Too much time wondering why
Shouldn't we go home?
I'd never feel that my time was so precious
If i could forget
All i'd learnt from your lessons
Two contradictions can make me uncentred
I need a balance too
You and i
Open wide
Why don't we go home?
Too much time wondering why
Been a creep ever since you met him
It's time for revenge, girl
You're really gonna get him
Kill yr boyfriend
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Kill yr boyfriend
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Been too long looking at his face
Get out of this misery
Get him outta this place
Kill yr boyfriend
He's a heartless swine
Beating you all the time
Get your gun and kill yr boyfriend
He's lazy and he's selfish too
Come on girl, you got somethin' to do
Kill yr boyfriend
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Kill yr boyfriend
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Easily angered and crap in bed
Gawd how much you want him dead
Kill yr boyfriend
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Kill yr boyfriend
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Time to get satisfied
So much that you haven't tried
Get your gun and kill yr boyfriend
Yauow
I love you just as much as I say
But if we ever moved in
I'd never let you have your way
I'm gonna kill my girlfriend
(No, no, no)
Kill my girlfriend
(No, no, no)
Maybe you're not so hot yourself
I'm gonna put you back on the shelf
I'm gonna kill my girlfriend
(No, no, no)
Kill my girlfriend
(No, no, no)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm sure you won't remember me, I'm not the man I used to be, I couldn't even say goodbye, let me explain the reasons why. (where to look now?) if I could talk to you today, (get back somehow) I know exactly what I'd say, (someone to blame) yes I was wrong, for what it's worth, (won't be the same) but it's my last day here on earth.
I believe it's in the stars, you and me, we're complicated. I believe it's in the stars always.
(blinded by you) I'm full of hindsight after facts, (it must be soon) I never tire of looking back, (there are no rules) my expectations always rise, (I won't be cruel) just at the point that all hope dies.
you and me, we're complicated, in the stars my noise abated, I've spent too much time in this world, understand I'm not in your world, if I thought just for a second, I could have some life injected, picture me on open highway, driving through the night ‘til the day, I'll be back onto your level, don't believe I am the devil, if you will not break my fall, deny it all.

i'm stronger now, i've been through everything and i won't go down
nothing is bigger than me, i feel empowered
i'm shouting louder now can you hear the sound
just when you're not looking
some things have changed?
they've not
you're looking back
i fought
i'm taller now
you're not
i've got you now
good shot
i know there's nothing better
there's none more supertough
yeah yeah i've got the power
but am i loud enough?
chorus:
this is the last time that i'll say my name (say my name)
i made mistakes but i am not ashamed (not ashamed)
now am i loud enough d'ya hear my name (hear my name)
i made mistakes but i am not ashamed (not ashamed)
i've come this far, feels like i'm driving in a bullet-proof car
i'm going somewhere fast and that's where you are
tell you my name and tell you that this is war
just when you're not looking
i'm screaming loud
pierced head
should break your bones
instead
say the same words
they're kept
you thought i'd gone
not yet
i know there's nothing better
there's none more supertough
yeah yeah i've got the power
but am i loud enough?
am i loud enough?
not really sure what I am looking for
a destiny that leaves you wanting so much more
I need to stop putting it before me
I'm straying but I know I've not lost it
transparent but I know what I am (so near)
so why don't I listen to what you're saying to me
conveient but I have no function
It's just routine but there is no corruption
nail me down, I know my head's not here
bring it back, the end's starting today
will you leave this party with me
we were not invited anyway
I have a path but I can't keep to it (no way)
I followed it and don't know where it took me (nowhere)
I don't talk back or even question
the odd one out but kept my involvement
nail me down, I know my head's not here
bring it back, the end's starting today
will you leave this party with me
we were not invited anyway
(nail me down)
(nowhere)
please send a message
to all the people
who find their pleasures in being normal
please help them to see
they can be different
although their lives make it hard to see it
i get frustrated when i walk in town
but it's not my place to tell them now
that they can think strange
they can be different
so i go home and imagine everyone saying...
how can we be strange?
how can we be strange
when we've got work to do today?
please understand this
i'm not a fascist
just with that folk wouldn't be so passive
toward the freak in the subconscious
it's in us all so don't be so cautious
please help them to see
they can feel different
although their lives make it hard to feel it
please send a message
to all the people
so i can go home and not hear them saying
when the routine bites hard
and ambitions are low
and the resentment rides high
but emotions won't grow
and we're changing our ways
taking different roads
then love, love will tear us apart again
why is the bedroom so cold?
turned away on your side
is my timing that flawed?
our respect run so dry
yet, there's still this appeal
that we've kept through our lives
love, love will tear us apart again
do you cry out in your sleep?
all my failings exposed
get a taste in my mouth
as desperation takes hold
is it something so good
just can't function no more?
My heart beats fast
As I try to forget what's hiding in my head
Will it ever change or will it end?
Some days I can't pretend
Well, everything will be just fine
Take one step at a time
It's like a scar that cannot heal
Think I can touch but I can't feel
No one bothers to ask what's wrong
Maybe they don't care at all
If there are no bruises, then I can't be hurt?
Can I die with open eyes?
Everything will be just fine
Take one step at a time
It's like a scar that cannot heal
Think I can touch but I can't feel
Are you ready? Are you ready?
It's come, the time to get up and go
Are you ready? Are you ready?
It's come, the time to get up and go
Where have I been, what have I become?
I don't like the person I am
There will come a time when you have to choose
What have you got to lose?
Everything will be just fine
Take one step at a time
It's like a scar that cannot heal
Think I can touch but I can't feel
Are you ready? Are you ready?
It's come, the time to get up and go
Are you ready? Are you ready?
It's come, the time to get up and go
Are you ready? Are you ready?
It's come, the time to get up and go
Are you ready? Are you ready?
It's come, the time to get up and go
Are you ready? Are you ready?
It's come, the time to get up and go
Are you ready? Are you ready?
