Then she said
"If you ever try to lean on me too heavily
I'll step aside and watch you fall
We'll make each other look so small
Let's either find another way
Or bang our heads into the wall and walkaway
Do you have to get this close before it hits?
You've always known just how much
People are a part of why we've now not got the heart to say
I'll leave it, if you will, let's walkaway"
Thought it was different
But it all turned out the same so so
Promised myself I'd never go through it again
Now that every love song bears the same familiar strain of
Walkaway before I
Do something stupid
Walkaway before these threats turn into
One of us could do it
Walkaway before I say
"It's getting too much"
Walkaway, walkaway
Before one of us cracks up
Did you have to get that close before it hit?
You'd always known just how much
People are a part of why we've now not got the heart to say
I'll leave it if you will, let's walkaway
Thought it was different
But it all turned out the same so so
Promised myself I'd never go through it again
Now that every love song bears the same familiar strain of
Walkaway before I
Do something stupid
Walkaway before these threats turn into
One of us could do it
Walkaway before I say
"It's getting too much"
Walkaway, walkaway
Before both of us crack up
Walkaway before I
Do something stupid
Walkaway before these threats turn into
One of us could do it
Walkaway before I say
"It's getting too much"
Walkaway, walkaway
Before both of us crack up
Walkaway before I
Do something stupid
Walkaway before these threats turn into
One of us could do it
Walkaway before I say
"It's getting too much"
Walkaway, walkaway
Before both of us crack up
Walkaway before I
Do something stupid
Walkaway before these threats turn into
One of us could do it
Walkaway before I say
I've never been one for the punch ups
But look I really hate them Nazis
A certain something starts to wind me up
How could I hate them of so violently?
When two swords slashing at each other
Only sharpen one another
And in the long run even he's your brudda
Said even though that kid's a Nazi
Always attack those things in someone else
Reflections that you can't face in yourself
To make precious fascistic feeling gone
It makes you turn into a bigger one, bigger
When two swords slashing at each other
Only sharpen one another
And in the long run even he's your brudda
Said even though that kid's a Nazi
Are you fighting the front or just fronting a fight?
Sometimes it's hard to see the left from the right
Are we angry, are we looking for peace or just tryin' to win the war
By killing all the enemy off? Just to kill the enemy off
Just to kill the enemy off, just to kill the enemy off
I've never been one for the punch ups
But look I really hate them Nazis
A certain something starts to wind me up
How could I hate them of so violently
When two swords slashing at each other
Only sharpen one another
And in the long run even he's your brudda
Said even though that kid's a Nazi
Even though that kid's a Nazi
Something shows in your face
Aren't you forgetting yourself?
Nearly let your mask slip
Twist and crawl, twist and crawl, twist and crawl
Twist and crawl, twist and crawl, twist and crawl
Emotion packed in every tear
Emotion mirrors your fears
Smile and say, "Hello dear"
Twist and crawl, twist and crawl, twist and crawl
You make me twist and crawl, twist and crawl, twist and crawl
Walk into a nightclub
See you standing in there
Both your eyes are on me
Wonder what makes you care
Wonder what makes you stare
Walk into a nightclub
All your friends are in there
Is that really blond hair?
Why don't you play fair
You could be in Mayfair?
You broke my heart in several pieces
Not supposed to be that okay
Have to read the books again
Twist and crawl, twist and crawl, twist and crawl
Twist and crawl, twist and crawl, twist and crawl
But you can't hurt me anymore
I haven't got a heart no more
No feelings get in my way
Twist and crawl, twist and crawl, twist and crawl
You make me twist and crawl, twist and crawl, twist and crawl
Did you think that I'd return?
Emotions all I need to learn
Now you're gonna feel the same
Vice-a-versa love and pain
Vice-a-versa love and pain
Did you think that I'd return?
Emotions all I need to learn
Now you're gonna feel the same
Vice-a-versa love and pain
Vice-a-versa love and pain
Now I've made a new way
Now my mind is rearranged
Now I can't be sure again
Twist and crawl, twist and crawl, twist and crawl
Twist and crawl, twist and crawl, twist and crawl
Are we really happy
Or maybe just pretending?
I can't tell the difference
Twist and crawl, twist and crawl, twist and crawl
You make me twist and crawl, twist and crawl, twist and crawl
I can have a new face
I can have a new body
I can have a new boy
I can have a new girl
I can have a new world
I can have a new face
I can have a new body
I can have a new boy
I can have a new girl
I can have a new world
I can have a twist and crawl
I can have a twist and crawl
It's too late now, it's twenty past two
I spent the night just watchin' you
I watched you dance, I watched you move
Can't breath and still I watched you move away
Now I think quite a lot as I stare at my shoes
About all these things that I put myself through
There's nothing to say, now there's nothing to do
You're just too nice to talk to, too nice to talk to
Too nice to talk to, you're too nice to talk to
The Radcliffe's wouldn't come after you
I glance but you just stared me through
Felt such a fool I felt you knew
But you might tell me to go away
Now I think quite a lot of my own point of view
Is that all I have that's in common with you
Emotion's so guarded, my heart is retarded
You're too nice to talk to, you're too nice to talk to
You're too nice to talk to, you're too nice to talk to
This evening hasn't gone like I planned
Should I take the situation in hand
Can't go on but I can't seem to dance
You chain my feet, I stamp and stamp and stamp
Because nothing I do ever seems to be right
The same dance of mine every Saturday night
Out the window you might say I'm out of of my mind
But you're too nice to talk to, too nice to talk to
You're too nice to talk to, too nice to talk to
The only limits we set
What can we get away with?
In that at least we're the same
The only way we find of hiding the hurt we feel
Is more unnecessary pain
Each time you draw in like a breath
It comes out like a knife
You feel like offering yourself out
Tonight, on what a fight
The little you can expect to get
To get from anyone else
Makes you look after number one
The only helping hand
You'll ever be offered
Is the one at the end of your own arm
Draw in like a breath
It goes tight like a wire
You're trying to shout
But your lungs are on fire
Draw in like a breath
It comes out like a knife
You feel like offering yourself
Shoplifting my little brother
Shoplifting my little sister
Said all you got to do is
Just a forward through the door
But when they come to check you out
You no come back for more
Shoplifting my little brederen
Shoplifting my little sister
Tell me which one would you prefer
One hundred pound fine
Or three months in prison?
Me old cock sparra
Shoplifting shoplifting

This world is upside down
The rights and wrongs don't get much wronger
Mistakes found in the past
Turn into rules protecting power
It's falling down, it weighs a lot
So you should not depend on it
This world is upside down
But look, I can't hang on for much longer
Sugar and stress, do everything at least twice
Catch your fingers in your private vices
Sugar and stress, with a heart like ice
Hope Heaven comes in a number of size
These thoughts are so unfair
If something's there then it's worth taking
We know where our hearts are, right behind our wallets
Yes and that's where they're staying
Grow up together but we grow apart
Always climbing up is our downfall
A change of blood or a change of heart
Another change of address will do no good
Sugar and stress, do everything at least twice
Catch your fingers in your private vices
Sugar and stress, with a heart like ice
Hope Heaven comes in a number of size
This world is upside down
The rights and wrongs don't get much wronger
Mistakes found in the past
Turn into rules protecting power
It's falling down, it weighs a lot
So you should not depend on it
This world is upside down
But look, I can't hang on for much longer
Sugar and stress, do everything at least twice
Catch your fingers in your private vices
Sugar and stress, with a heart like ice
Hope Heaven comes in a number of size
Sugar and stress
Catch your fingers in your private vices
Sugar and stress
Hope Heaven comes in a number of size
This world is upside down
This world is upside down
This world is upside down
I said I see no joy, I see only sorrow
I see no chance of your bright new tomorrow
So stand down Margaret, stand down please, stand down
I say stand down Margaret, stand down please, stand down
Stand down Margaret, stand down please, stand down Margaret
I say stand down Margaret, stand down please, stand down
I sometimes wonder if I'll ever get the chance
Just to sing to my children in a holiday jam
Our lives seem petty in your cold gray hands
Would you give a second thought, would you ever give a damn?
I doubt it
Stand down Margaret
Everybody shout it
Stand down Margaret
Work, white law
Shell shock, world war
Stand down please
Stand down Margaret, stand down please, stand down Margaret
I say stand down Margaret, stand down please, stand down Margaret
Stand down Margaret, stand down please, stand down Margaret

By de name of Marge

I don't want to see your bad company
We need technology so
Try to live but it's more like worry
Each time I try to speak it does sound like 'sorry'
Setting up races you've gotta keep winning
Imaginary races
Jump until you're bleeding, you're needing
And you're wanting it so badly
Timed your sighing, all lying
And she's trusting you completely stupid
Sorry
Feeling attack put up defenses
Nothing you've ever said made much sense
Words are just another violence
Nothing rings as true as silence
Dream, I can fly in desperation, sorry
Must have mixed up remorse with anticipation, sorry
Each time I try to break this hurry, sorry
Start off apologizing for saying sorry
Leaving me pleading
All through wanting it so badly
Timed my sighing, all lying
And you trusted me completely foolish
Sounds like 'sorry'
It sounds like 'sorry'
Of course I want there to be an us, I've always wanted that
Giving time and patience trying hard to understand
We never feel the power of our own hands, sense the danger late
And only vaguely ever grasp the means of our sole salvation?
What then? Do it right, do it now here there, everywhere
Shouting out I'm as mad as hell, he pushes his legs against the bed
And feels the triumph flooding through his head
He could conquer, he could win, now that dying only means
You're not in next week's program
Stop being a baby, will you stop, will you stop it
Won't you stop play-acting little man?
Just how long till you drop it
Will it be this year, next year, sometime, never?
Stop, when you feel like saying have a heart but don't take mine
There's a new dance, the tolerance
And it just might be your sole salvation
Sole salvation, your sole salvation, your sole salvation
Make a cross, make amends to set the record straight
We've never said the only things we should have ever bothered saying
Lets write out a list of things we need, strike a brand new deal
Strong enough for any man, but has a woman's understanding in it
And then finish
And just stop, when you feel like saying have a heart, but don't take mine
And try a new dance, the tolerance, it just might be your sole salvation
Sole salvation, your sole salvation, sole salvation
Don't want him
But she can't bear to tell him
Don't love him
Love is uncompromising
Can't leave him
No, never, never
So next time she meet him
They'll both be in Heaven
In the corner
But she hardly makes a sound
She never get the energy
To hit the ground
Like her prescription
The drink tastes bitter
As she turns round
Found out that something hit her
Would he notice?
No, no, no, never, never
Would he miss her?
She doesn't really care
I guess you thought
It was an ordinary row
Well, you were wrong
Just take a look at her now
She's leaving
Too late to take her home
She's going
Too late to tell her you love her
She's freezing
Rather be dead than alone
She's going
I think you're too late, she's gone
Worry, worry
Over the way things are
She tried to tell him
About the way they might have been
Happy
But now it's gone too far
She'd rather die than live
To behave so badly
She found out
That you don't give a damn
Now watch the spirit
Slipping out of her hand
She's leaving
Too late to take her home
She's going
Too late to tell her you love her
She's freezing
Rather be dead than alone
She's going
I think you're too late, she's gone
She's leaving
Too late to take her home
She's going
Too late to tell her you love her
She's freezing
Rather be dead than alone
She's going
Two dozen other dirty lovers
Must be a sucker for it
Cry, cry, but I don't need my mother
Just hold my hand while I come
To a decision on it
Sooner or later
Your legs give way, you hit the ground
Save it for later
Don't run away and let me down
Sooner or later
You hit the deck you get found out
Save it for later
Don't run away and let me down
You let me down
Black air and seven seas
All rotten through, but what can you do?
I don't know how I'm meant to act
With all of you lot
Sometimes, I don't try
I just know, know, know
Sooner or later
Your legs give way, you hit the ground
Save it for later
Don't run away and let me down
Sooner or later
You hit the deck you get found out
Save it for later
Don't run away and let me down
You let me down, you run away
Run away and let me down
Two dozen other stupid reasons
Why we should suffer for this
Don't bother trying to explain them
Just hold my hand, while I come
To a decision on it
Sooner or later
Your legs give way, you hit the ground
Save it for later
Don't run away and let me down
Sooner or later
You'll hit the deck you'll get found out
Save it for later
Don't runaway and let me down
You let me down
You run away, run away
Run away, run away, run away
Run away and let me down
Run away, run away, run away
Run away, run away, run away
She was a rough rider
A cool stroker
A strong whiner
I had a hard night
I had a hard night
I had a hard night
Last night
Last night
I feel so broke up today
I feel so broke up today
Lord, I feel so mash up today
She was a strong whiner
A rough rider
She whiney whiney, last night
I don't know what you'd say if you saw me yesterday
But I know what you'd say if you see for me today
She was a strong whiner
A rough rider
She whiney whiney
Last night
She chop di wood
Last night
Me wore me brush
Tonight
I said me wore me brush
Rotating heads, keeps on the right side
Coiled up and tense, remains on the lookout
Expect to be shot or get given the bullet
Rotating head tries to look on the bright side of things
Rotating heads, friends in high places
No need to guess what he's got in that briefcase
A mind like a gin-trap, one swollen ankle
The rotating head tries to stay on the bright side of things
On the right side of things
Living on tip-toe
Waiting for the next step
The wages of death
What a life for a swivelhead
Understand, underhand, underarm protection
Each new passer-by, a new wave of suspicion
In less than an hour the plane will be leaving
The lights and the cameras
Then sleep on a prayer and a wing, rotating
Living on tip-toe
Waiting for the next step
The wages of death
What a life for a swivelhead
Rotating head, look on the bright side
Coiled up and tensed, remain on the lookout
A mind like a gin-trap, one swollen ankle
The rotating head tries to stay on the bright side of things

Promise your secrecy into the microphone
Into the megaphone, into the cell
Questioning decency under the microscope
Over and over, say over and out
Organize my life over the telephone
Over my dead body, over my head
Tread a fine line between you and your memories
Between you and me, things are best left unsaid
The honoring of violence is a security number
Always so quiet, they slip under your guard
Pushes your dead body, under the microscope
Over and over, it's over, it's over and out
Over and out, out, over and out
Another incident, another accident
Dangerous emptiness, people in shock
You pelt them with rocks and the old innuendo
You know that was no mishap that brake line was cut
Lie on the pavement, wait for an ambulance
Say to yourself nothing is what it seems
Never meaning to say you never say what you mean
You get caught by the sirens on your TV screen
The honoring of violence is a security number
Always so quiet, it slips under your guard
Pushes your dead body, under the microscope
Over and over, it's over, say over and out
Over and out, out, over and out, out
I'm looking for a girlfriend
I want everything
Noise in this world
Someone to lie next to
I want forever, I want
Whatever jack-knife feels like
Tearin' up the blankets
I want forever, I want
I'm just the crossed-out names in your address-book
Sticks in wet tar, sticks in my mouth
Make me feel as false as you look
You're so graceful
You're so hateful
I feel clumsy
When I'm near you
I want forever, I want
Whatever jack-knife feels like
Starin' at my own face
I want forever, I want
I'm just the crossed-out names in your address-book
Sticks in wet tar, sticks in my mouth
Make me feel as false as you look
I'm looking for a girlfriend
I want everything
Noise in this world
Someone to lie next to
I want forever, I want
Whatever jack-knife feels like
Starin' at my own face
I want forever, I want
I'm just the crossed-out names in your address-book
Sticks in wet tar, sticks in my mouth
At the center, no one warns you
When that moment might turn the corner
Stand the test of extreme position
Remember monkey murders always love ambition
Collect black masks when you try too hard
Not to treat her like another toy
It makes you mad as you sleep so badly
Because you're out every Saturday night
For what you can't get, boy
Is it a problem?
Let's be kind to one another
Shoot your sister, you could eat your brother
Who cares when it's only fashion
Remember monkey murders always come with passion
Remember that night when you tried too hard
Not to treat her like another toy
It made you mad, you slept so badly
Now you're out every Saturday night
For what you can't get, boy
Is this a problem?
So obsessive, drinking in the spotlight
He's standing still but of course he's taking all night
Says "There is no love and there is no trust"
Said, "Bite your lip or keep your mouth shut"
Keep your mouth shut, keep your mouth shut
Keep your mouth shut"
Boy, is this a problem?
Boy, is this a problem?
Rotating head, keeps on the right side
Colied up and tense remains on the lookout
Expects to be shot or get given the bullet.
Rotating head tries to look on the bright side of things.
Rotating head, friends in high places
No need to guess what he's got in that briefcase
A mind like a gin-trap, one swollen ankle.
The rotating head tries to stay on the right side of things,
On the right side of things.
Living on tip-toe,
Waiting for the next step,
The wages of death
What a life for a swivelhead.
Understand, underhand, underarm protection
Each new passer-by a new wave of suspicion.
In less than an hour the plane will be leaving
The lights and the cameras
Then sleeep on a prayer and a wing
Rotating.
Living on tip-toe,

What a life for a swivelhead.

Colied up and tense remains on the lookout.

All set luncheonette, kitchenette to let
I bet, I get hamburgerette again
We met in a launderette, kissed beneath the air jet
No sweat, no threat, another one in the back of the net
When I met Jeanette, substitute Ronette
She said, "Will you remember?", said I could never forget her
Au naturalette, her mom's a millionette
So we shared one last cigarette and swapped false addresses
Jeanette, Jeanette
Dangerous, she's like damp dynamite
Oh boy, enjoy, have a nice night
Won't you promise to write me whenever you can?
Make sure that you warn me if you're coming to Birmingham
I get Jeanette, substitute Ronette
She said, "Will you remember?", said I could never forget her
Jeanette, you know, know, know, I'll never forget you
Touching your skin has proved one thing, that love's still exciting
We're getting there, we're nearly there, just one final fling
Pushing into a new love, steady, deep and strong
Steady on, you know we shouldn't talk like this
I met Jeanette, substitute Ronette
She said, "Will you remember?", said I could never forget you
Au naturalette, her mom's a millionette
So we shared one last cigarette and swapped false addresses
Jeanette, you know, know, know, I'll never forget you
Jeanette, you know, know, know, I'll never forget you
Shared one last cigarette and swapped false addresses
Jeanette, you know, know, know, I'll never forget you
Jeanette, you know, know, know, I'll never forget you
Jeanette, you know, know, know, I'll never forget you
Shared one last cigarette and swapped false addresses

I'm sorry to say

I won't be back for many a day
Say goodbye everybody

Say goodbye everybody
Say it's a love and unity song
Goodbye everybody
Say goodbye everybody
goodbye everybody, yeah
I say I'm sorry to say
but I'm on my way
Yes, I'll be down your street again quite soon
And don't ignore me when I wave at you
For although I'm looking rather sad
I'm all you've ever really had
And when you're desperate, you will hold me
Hold me to that
Took your hat off in Wisconsin
Took your head in Vietnam
Dying to become a man
Well, I am your flag
I am your flag, I am your flag
I spend all of my time just looking for the big hit
(Hit, hit, hit, hit)
So long getting there, there's no time left to use it
So let's raise a smile of victory, impressed in dental surgery
When you need cover, you can use me, buried at sea
Freedom's just a new deodorant
The money's spent and you've been had
You don't believe me? ask your dad
I am your flag, I am your flag
I am your flag
So as I fly so proudly you will see
That you won't dare break up this family
See the happy children on parade
With wooden guns that mother made
And see me dancing in the breeze
That blows them away
I ran into Northern Ireland
I ran into Afghanistan
Dying to become a man
Well, I am your flag, I am your flag
I am your flag
I am your flag, I am your flag
Senseless up and down we go
Six thousand million, million times a pushing
It's a crisis point that comes then goes
But who care, who cares I'm so quick that I can't tell the difference
Auto erotic well, you could not be in better hands
Try to accept when it comes down to love
You please yourself
Auto erotic people laugh so hard to understand
Learn to expect that
That only you see
You don't need them either
No defense no self control, ten thousand days and it's not brave
It still remains so empty no desire to feel at home
It's no help stand back, just relax and hand it to yourself
You'll either take to heart what people say
Or toss it all away
Make yourself dance
Make yourself dance
Make yourself dance
Round and round and round it goes
Six thousand million, million times for nothing
It's a crisis point too hard to hold
But who care, who cares nobody's there so no one know the difference
Just jump and prance until you dance
And I will hold you in my charms
'Cos I'm the man in the bowler hat
And I can be your acrobat now c'mon baby just like that
You've got it right it's just like that
Now clap your hands flap your feet
You're gonna rock it and shock it
Right through the street hey
Get down, get down, get down, get down, get down
Get down, get down, get down, get down, get down
Autoerotic well you could not be in better hands
Try to accept that when it comes down to love
You please yourself
Auto erotic people laugh
So hard to understand
That only you see
You don't need them either
Dream are so much nicer than real things
When it comes down to love you please yourself
People laugh so hard to understand
That only you see you don't need them either
Auto erotic, auto erotic
I told my friend I'd check for you
He told me that he liked you too
But then I saw him kissing you
I could've died
When he said," Hands off, she's mine"
Said,"Hands off, she's mine
Hands off, she's mine
Hands off, she's mine"
I want her all the time
Hands off, she's mine
Hands off, she's mine
I knew that this was real although
It usually comes mixed up with fear
I knew that I could wait although
It just might take a thousand years
Said,"Hands off, she's mine
Hands off, she's mine
Hands off, she's mine"
Until the end of time
Hands off, she's mine
Hands off, she's mine
La la la la, la la la la
La la la la, la la la la
Now we're going steady
Been together several weeks
I check out all the other guys
Who we see on the streets
When I say,"Hands off, she's mine
Hands off, she's mine
Hands off, she's mine"
It takes up all my time
Hands off, she's mine
Hands off, she's mine
I said hands off me daughter
I tell ya get your hands off me daughter
C'mon mek me said don't mess around on ya
C'mek mek me tell ya don't want ta get ya
La la la la, la la la la
La la la la, la la la la
Funny how the best things
Never last for every day
I thought she was my girlfriend
Till I heard that someone else
Was saying, "Hands off, she's mine"
Hands off, she's mine
Hands off, she's mine"
Hands off, she's mine
Hands off, she's mine
Hands off, she's mine
There's a training course where
Boys and girls of real ambition
Start a new job in a factory
Where they're making ammunition
But it makes them think of stealing
When they read between the lines
Through the owners of this funfair
You won't find a ride you like
Just
Get a job, get a job
Manufacture rubbish
Although no one can afford it
You could make a profit
More than anyone deserves
So you find you're left with poison
So you dump it in our water
So create the kind of problems
Only radiation cures
Through
Get a job, get a job
Get a job, get a job
Oh, you young people are revolting
8 to 5, life should give the jolt needed
In a few years you won't feel quite the same
You'll be playing their get a job games
There's a training camp when
You come home from saving nations
Get a new job and a new leg
Social rehabilitation
Every time you think of leaving
You get caught between the lines
It's the training for the funfair
You get taken for a ride
Get a job, get a job
Get a job, get a job
Get a job, get a job
Get a job, get a job
Get a job, get a job
She said to leave it till the end of the party
Do it now, you know there's never a next time
How come the feeling that it's only just started
Pull back your cover, I could love you for all time
But do it now, you know there's never a next time
The bees are busy, now there's gold on the hill
The branches waving but our hearts are wrapped up inside
And then you leave me, so I start missing you a lot
No argument oh do I love you or not
No argument, you have all the love that I see as mine
Pull back your cover, I could love you for all time
But do it now you know there's never a next time
She said to leave it till the end of the party
How come the feeling that it's always just starting
The bees are busy, now there's gold on the hill
The branches waving but our hearts are wrapped up inside
And then you leave me then I start missing you a lot
No argument oh do I love you? I love you or not or not
Oh treat him like a baby please
Oh treat him like a baby please
Strength is not the same as anger put the taste back into hunger
Searching the box? Looking for what? I love you, I love you or not?
Strength is not the same as anger put the taste back into hunger
Searching the box? Looking for what? Pushing the gear back into top?
Put the first back into class lose your bottle break the glass
You'll wind up high and dry with just this slow cold comfort
Oh treat him like a baby please
Love you or not? Oh treat him like a baby please
Love you or not? Oh treat him like a baby please
Compromise around the corner
Can you hear the accountant's call?
Could you refuse another dollar?
Could you stop yourself from falling?
So in between the sleepless nights
You dream that you are winning fights
But then it happens, dreadful thing
A wave appears too big to swim
You're drowning, you're drowning
You're drowning, you're drowning
Buy a beach before next summer
How do you feel in the morning?
If the light's an awful bother
I could always close the curtains
Just close your eyes and count to ten
See if you still remember when
Your life seemed easy, you had friends
But that was different, that that was then
You're drowning, you're drowning
(Round and round and round)
You're drowning, you're drowning
(In a frenzy now)
You want fe go in a de ocean
(A so me say)
I saw you drowning in slow motion
(And now me learn)
Far too late to make a commotion
Too late for you to show easy motion
That's why you go down to the bottom, say you can't reach the top
Get stuck on the bottom, say you can't reach the top
A two days later say they find you 'pon the rocks
Say ha ha ha ha ha, bad luck, eh, so
Tell yourself until you're certain
When you hear the accountants call
You'll buy a beach before next summer
Swim away and leave it all
So underwater, deaf and blind
Under such pressures you might find
A secret right before the end
That makes you want to breathe again
You're drowning, you're drowning
(Round and round and round)
You're drowning, you're drowning
(In a frenzy now)
You're drowning, you're drowning
(Round and round and round)
You're drowning, you're drowning
It's a
One shot magazine , give it a spin
Open your mouth slide the barrel in
If you don't like it just don't do it again
Itchy finger, finger, trigger, trigger
Click click
Click click click
One in thirty five is saying sorry through a bottle
Say it's your job to scrape a living up, that's all it does
Well, think it back over it, hurts twice as much as living
Itchy finger, finger, trigger, trigger
Faster faster
Faster faster
One shot this is it did you delay?
You call it a nightmare, now, I call it a day
You hold yourself steady at the edge of the bed
As you say finger, finger, trigger, trigger
Click click
Click click click, click click click
Faster faster faster
Faster faster faster
Faster faster faster
A valentine from a politician
Three pages of your dog's ambitions
The stabbed lover and the furious bunny
You stare too long and your eyes go funny
Yes, I agree we're reading tissue paper but
We can talk about real things later
Cheated, cheated
Win a greenhouse to warm your sex life
Cheated, cheated
Read about the victims crying all night
Blurred photos of the latest plane crash
(News)
Girl shivers as she hears the car door slam
(News)
TV guides you through uncomfortable questions
(News)
Doctor advises it's the communist problem
To change the truth until it's worth money
It's a joke but it's not that funny, cheated
Our correspondent made to wait in the lobby
Torn to pieces by three have a go bobbies
Young swimmers in these sun dialing times
Sweeping the nation with a dance called 'The Breadline'
It's in our water and our education
We are oppressed into association
Cheated, cheated
Change the truth until it's worth money
Cheated, cheated
It's a joke but it's not that funny
Our correspondent made to wait in the lobby
Torn to pieces by three have a go bobbies
Young swimmers in these sun dialing times
Sweeping the nation with a dance called 'The Breadline'
It's in our water and our education
We are oppressed into association
Cheated, cheated
With George W. is over taking
Mr. [Incomprehensible] too busy faking
It's cheated, cheated
Win a greenhouse to warm your sex life
Cheated, cheated
Read about the victims crying all night
Cheated, cheated
Change the truth until it's worth money
Cheated, cheated
Guess there's no use in hangin' 'round
Guess I'll get dressed and go to town
I'll find a crowded avenue
Though it will be empty without you
I can't get used to losing you
No matter what I try to do
Gonna spend my whole life through
Loving you
Called up some girl I used to know
After I heard her say, "Hello"
Couldn't think of anything to say
Since you're gone it happens every day
I can't get used to losing you
No matter what I try to do
Gonna spend my whole life through
Loving you
Can't get used to losing you
No matter what I try to do
Gonna spend my whole life through
Loving you
I'll find somebody, wait and see
Who am I kidding, only me
'Cuz no one else could take your place
Guess that I am just a hopeless case
I can't get used to losing you
No matter what I try to do
Gonna spend my whole life through
Loving you
Can't get used to losing you
No matter what I try to do
Gonna spend my whole life through
Yes, I've seen you go to work in your big car
Yes, you're fat and can afford to be tasteless
You're a big shot, you want the whole lot
And if I like it or not, you still control me
You tell me what to think and what to be
I like it best in the freezing winter, boy
I like to sneer as I sail past your bus stop
I watch you struggle and it gets me red hot
I wander round in my empty office block
Big shot, I want the whole lot
And if you like it or not, I still control you
I tell you what to think and what to do
So you listen to the smoking industry
You listen to the guys in the factories
You listen to the wealth and the misery
You listen to the power of money
For a big shot who wants a whole lot
And if you like it or not, he'll probably get it
He'll tell you when to beg and when to sit
You look like a government minister
Or a high ranking military officer
I don't think you care, you're just a big shot, yeah
Yes, I've seen you go to work in your big car
Yes, you're fat and can afford to be tasteless
You're a big shot, who wants a whole lot
And if I like it or not, you still control me
I just found out the name of your best friend
You been talkin' about yourself again
I know I cease to share your views
Why doesn't everybody listen to you kid?
How come you never really seem to get through, is it you?
Talk about yourself again, you
Talk about yourself, always you, you, you
Talk about yourself again
She's on a holiday
She's got her summer frock on
Suck on an ice cream
It's meltin' in the hot sun
First date's made you pray for more
I wanted you, wanted
Everybody knows the score
I wanted you, wanted
What are we pretendin' for?
Let's talk about ourselves on the floor
Let's talk about ourselves, nothing more I promise
Talk about ourselves again
I just found out the name of your best friend
Talk, talk, talk about yourself again
Yes, I just found out the name of your best friend
I just found out the name of your best friend
You been talkin' about yourself again
And no one seems to share your views
Why doesn't anybody listen to you kid?
How come you never really seem to get through, is it you?
Talk about yourself again, you
Talk about yourself, always you, you, you
Talk about yourself again, again, again, again, again
I just found out the name of your best friend
I just found out the name of your best friend
I just found out the name of your best friend
I just found out the name of your best friend
I just found out the name of your best friend
I just found out the name of your best friend
I just found out the name of your best friend
Don't attempt to explain this incredible strain
Now confusion's become far too simple a word for it
Is what you make, that's the usual mistake
If you're happy with pain you can take it from me
That they're all out to get you
They're painting your life in a permanent gray
They're all out to get you
It takes more than tears to get rid of the stains sometimes
You're scared you might slip when you're holding a knife
Lose your fingers or more in a lathe on the night shift
You're scared that your babies get born with no legs
You're so scared of death, you don't know what life is
So they're all out to get you, all over nothing
They're painting your life in a permanent way
They're all out to get you, but all out forgetting
It takes more than tears to get rid of the stains sometimes
So they're all out to get you, all over nothing
They're painting your life in a permanent way
They're all out to get you, but all out forgetting
It takes more than tears to get rid of the stains sometimes
Until you accept that you're just like the others
You're a boy or a girl, then a man or a woman
And your clothes never fit and your skin's the wrong color
So you make do with fear, you get more than you need
'Cause they're all out to get you, all over nothing
They're painting your life in a permanent way
They're all out to get you, but all out forgetting
It takes more than tears to get rid of the stains sometimes
Yes, they're all out to get you, all over nothing
They're painting your life in a permanent gray
They're all out to get you, but all out for getting
It takes more than tears to get rid of the stains sometimes
It takes more than tears, it takes more than tears
Cross your fingers say you're on high
Pretend you're in den and see what life brings
But always taking things as they come
Tends to make you forget to put anything in
The longer you dwell the more it's like hell
You sit by the well just making a wish
It would be a shame to take too much blame
Look we're all the same it's only a game
Ackee 1-2-3
Ackee 1-2, 1-2-3
Did I just catch you laughing?
Ackee 1-2-3
Ackee 1-2, 1-2-3
Forward where the knocks are hardest
Some to failure some to fame
Never mind the cheers or hooting
Keep your head and play the game
Try to keep your feet on the ground
Without getting them stuck in the mud
You will soon be over the moon
Or twice as hot as the sun
Ackee 1-2-3
Ackee 1-2, 1-2-3
Ackee 1-2-3
Ackee 1-2, 1-2-3
So cross your fingers say you're on high
Pretend you're in den and see what life brings
But always taking things as they come
Tends to make you forget to put anything in
The longer you dwell the more it's like hell
You sit by the well just making a wish
To make it plain I'll say it again
We're all the same, it's only a game
Ackee 1-2-3
Ackee 1-2, 1-2-3
Did I just catch you laughing?
Ackee 1-2-3
Ackee 1-2, 1-2-3
Someone just smiled for no special reason
It looks liken the smile's come back into season
It's so easy, doesn't have to be a nice day
Just the only one you've got and it's coming ready or not
Ackee 1-2, 1-2-3
It's a must, it's compulsive
A family entertainment
Play Americans and Russians
Find a place to hide your poison
Beat the others round the head
The others round the table
Be the first to take the money
Past the point of desperation
Living on pins but I will try it all the same
Be extra careful when you're answering the questions
Living on promises of fortune and fame
You could win a car or a dream home in New Zealand
New Zealand
You say that you're all happy
You've taken all this time
It's just around the television
I'll be over in a minute
Try and wait if you can
To watch you're brand new program
Americans and Russians
Find a place to hide your poison
Prize of a lifetime never get this chance again
You watch your words when you're answering their questions
Save precious moments [Incomprehensible] the fast lane
Seven extra minutes in your dream home in New Zealand
It's a must, compulsive
Family entertainment
Everybody's in the bunker
Everybody's getting pushy
Beat the others 'round the head
Beat the others to the button
Feel your habit of obedience
Must surely count for something
Terrible risk but I will take it all the same
Just mind your manners when you're answering their questions
Now could you tell me what's the most I stand to gain?
Seven hours of heaven in your dream home in New Zealand
