Bernie Rhodes knows Don't Argue
Why must you record my phone calls?
Are you planning a bootleg LP?
Said you've been threatened by gangsters
Now it's you, that's threatening me
Can't fight corruption with con tricks
They use the law to commit crime
And I dread, dread to think what the future will bring
When we're living in gangster time
Don't call me scar face
Can't interrupt while I'm talking
Or they'll confiscate all your guitars
and catch 22 says if I sing the truth
they won't make me an overnight star
Don't offer us legal protection
They use the law to commit crime
I dread to think what the future will bring
When we're living in gangster time

Mum bought you a fur coat when you were fifteen
You wore it to the disco, but everyone was in jeans
But you were a rich girl, and only having fun
Your low cut dresses, brought stares from everyone
Hey, little rich girl where did you go wrong?
You left for London, when you were nineteen
Had to pull off your nice clothes, just living on dreams
A man in the bright lights took all that you own
Now he's taken your freedom for a fate unknown
But you were a rich girl, hardly having fun
Your worn out dresses, brought stares from everyone
Hey, little rich girl where did you go wrong?
Hey, little rich girl you've been away for so long
And now little rich girl, my words are in this song
Hey, little rich girl my love for you is gone
And now little rich girl, I know where you went wrong
At your dad's office party all the movies were blue
Caused him so much heart ache, because the screen star was you
You left for London, when you were nineteen
Had to pull off your nice clothes, but you were living on dreams
You were a rich girl, and only having fun
But your worn out dresses, brought stares from everyone
Hey, little rich girl where did you go wrong?
Hey, little rich girl where did you go wrong?
I'm going out tonight
I don't know if I'll be alright
Everyone wants to hurt me
Baby danger in the city
I have to carry a knife
Because there's people threatening my life
I can't dress just the way I want
I'm being chased by the national front
Concrete jungle, animals are after me
Concrete jungle, it ain't safe on the streets
Concrete jungle, glad I got my mates with me
I won't fight for a cause
Don't want to change the law
Leave me alone, just leave me alone
I want to get out on my own
I'm walking home tonight
I only walk where there's lots of lights
In the alleys and the doorways
Some throw a bottle right in your face
Concrete jungle, animals are after me
Concrete jungle, it ain't safe on the streets
Concrete jungle, glad I got my mates with me
I'm walking home tonight
I only walk where there's lots of lights
In the alleys and the doorways
Some throw a bottle right in your face
I won't fight for a cause
I don't want to change the law
Leave me alone, just leave me alone
I want to get out on my own
Concrete jungle, animals are after me
Concrete jungle, it ain't safe on the streets
When I woke up this morning alone in my bed
In a cold room with damp sheets and a pain in my head
I saw you last night and you drove me insane
Why must you hurt me again and again?
I've had enough
If I don't come back for more that's tough
'Cos I can't stand it, the way you've planned it
No I can't stand it any longer
Sometimes I get so I tired, I can't get no sleep
I'm so drunk, I can't stand up on my own two feet
I'm feeling so hungry, I don't want to eat
You make me so angry, I can't even speak
I'll stay at home where I can be alone
Because I just can't stand it
The way you've planned it
No I can't stand it any longer
Try not to cry as I lie in the rain
Feel like walking through walls just to get back home again
I saw you last night and I'll see you again
Maybe you're trying to drive me insane
I've had enough
If I don't come back for more that's tough
'Cos I can't take it any more
I'm going home where I can be alone
Because I just can't stand it, no I can't stand it
No I can't stand it any longer
Goodnight Terry
Hello and how are you and how do you do?
And who is that girl standing right next to you?
And what is her name and what does she do?
I'm looking at her while I'm talking to you
Her love must be sweeter than candy
Must be stronger than brandy
Why does she like you not me?
Can I buy you a drink?
You seem a decent chap
I'm friendly to your face but behind your back
What I like most about you is your girlfriend, it's true
Her love must be sweeter than candy
Must be stronger than brandy
Why does she like you not me?
I agree with what you say, I think that it's true
Your girlfriend has only got one fault, that's you
What I like most about you is your girlfriend, it's true
When will we meet again and where will it be?
Why don't you both come over to my house for tea?
I'd rather she came round on her own, yes it's true
Your girlfriend is what I like most about you
What I like most about you is your girlfriend, it's true
What I like most about you is your girlfriend, it's true
What I like most about you is your girlfriend, it's true
You're working at your leisure to learn the things you'll need
The promises you make tomorrow will carry no guarantee
I've seen your qualifications, you've got a Ph.D.
I've got one art O level, it did nothing for me.
Working for the rat race
You know you're wasting your time
Working for the rat race
You're no friend of mine
You plan your conversation to impress the college bar
Just talking about your mother and daddy's Jaguar
Wear your political t-shirt and sacred college scarf
Discussing the world's situation but just for a laugh
You'll be working for the rat race
You know you're wasting your time
Working for the rat race
You're no friend of mine
Working for the rat race
You know you're wasting your time
Working for the rat race
You're no friend of mine
Just working at your leisure to learn the things you won't need
The promises you make tomorrow will carry no guarantee
I've seen your qualifications, you've got a Ph.D.
I've got an art O level, it did nothing for me.
Working for the rat race
You know you're wasting your time
Working for the rat race
Now Jack and Jill went up the hill to join the Labour right
They couldn't pay the water bills, but that was alright
They thought they'd get a buzz from being a member of the party
So they could crash the ballot box, but that's another story
All I wanna be, something plain to see
Nothing special but just a priority
Just step back and see it's not the way to be
You've got to find a place in life
A nursery rhyme is really like a politicians speech
Makes as much sense as counting pebbles on a beach
And if you don't believe me, then check the manifesto
Just blah blah blah, and blah blah blah, the truth I don't think so
All I wanna be, something plain to see
Nothing special but just a priority
Just step back and see it's not the way to be
You've got to find a place in life
All I wanna be, something plain to see
Nothing special but just a priority
Just step back and see it's not the way to be
You've got to find a place in life

Aye aye aye, aye aye aye!

Snow is falling all around
Seven o'clock and the roads are blocked
So I walk down town
There's no one around
I walk in a bar and immediately I sense danger
You look at me, girl, as if I was some kind of a total stranger
Where did you get that blank expression on your face?
The streets are dark and there's no one about
I wander home and all the lights are out
I keep wondering
How can you be so horrible?
The things you say are terrible
You make me feel ashamed
When you call me names
How come you think it's wise
To tell those wicked lies
You play such silly games
When you call me names
Stones and sticks don't hurt like bricks
No skin off my nose
I'll take the flack and hand it back
It's just the way that it goes
You dish the dirt but names don't hurt
You never break my bones
I'll grit my teeth but underneath
It' only sticks and stones
You think you win a prize
To cut me down to size
You make outrageous claims
When you call me names
Stones and sticks don't hurt like bricks
No skin off my nose
I'll take the flack and hand it back
It's just the way that it goes
You dish the dirt but names don't hurt
You never break my bones
I'll grit my teeth but underneath
It' only sticks and stones
How can you say those things
When they aim to sting
It always sounds the same
When you call me names
Stones and sticks don't hurt like bricks
No skin off my nose
I'll take the flack and hand it back
It's just the way that it goes
You dish the dirt but names don't hurt
You never break my bones
I'll grit my teeth but underneath
It' only sticks and stones
You never say what you mean
You never mean what you say
You never say what you mean
You never mean what you say
You never say what you mean
When you call me names
When you call me names
When you call me names
I went out shopping last saturday
I was getting some gear, and this guy offered to pay
Who's the hunk? I think to myself
For so many years I've been left on the shelf
An old boiler
Then we went walking back down the high street
And I felt so proud because he looked so neat
He was a real hard man, tough as they come
He said I was cool but I still felt like
An old boiler
He bid me "Come out", how could I say no?
He said "Meet me at eight round my place, you know"
With my new gear on, and a blow dried hair-do
But in my mind I knew I was sill
An old boiler
We danced all night long to a nice steady beat
But my hair went to frizz in the terrible heat
My mascara ran, and so did my tights
Confirming in my sight, I must be
An old boiler
So we came out this club, hot and sweaty
Because we'd been dancing all night
And he says to me "Well babe, what you doing then?"
"Well I think I might get a cab" I said casually
"Nah nah, come back to my place, I only live just round the corner
You can go home in the morning, yeah?"
"Well I don't think so, I've only known you a day, It' a bit soon innit
Give me a ring sometime yeah?"
But then he starts to get mad
"Listen here girl, I bought that gear you got on, I paid you in here tonight
I bought you all them drinks and you wanna go home, I should bleedin coco"
And then he stormed off
Well, I felt a right mug, well you would wouldn't you
So I ran after him, caught him up
And here we are walking down this street about a hundred miles per hour
Arm in arm, no talking, atmosphere you could have cut with a knife
There's no-one about, nothing to take your mind off it you know
No cars, not even the occasional stray animal
It was cold and the wind's whistling through the tree's
Blowing newspapers accross my legs so I tripped as I tried to keep up with him
And there was all these alleyways and railway bridges, the stink of piss
The all of a sudden he grabbed hold of my arm
And he starts to drag me up one of these alleyways
Then he starts to hit me really hard across the face, you know
He was hitting me and grabbing at me
It was awful because he was, like, so big
Hitting me he was, and tearing at my clothes
There was nothing I could do honest, I was helpless
And then he tried to rape me, and there was nothing I could do, honest
You saw a woman in a cafe, lips of crimson, yellow grin
Her shoes were wrong and she looked extremely thin
Her jewels were faked, she'd had a rinse, her hair was grayish blue
She looked ashamed when she explained to you
It ain't easy when there's no one to lean on
It ain't easy when there's nobody there
It ain't easy when your lovers are all gone
Nobody there, nobody cares
The pubs were closed she'd got nowhere to go
When she'd spilled her tea
Have you never thought, one day that could be me?
Her temper changed, she looked so deranged
Her perfume turned to gin
You looked at her and she began to sing
It's all a load of bullocks
It's all a load of bullocks
It's all a load of bullocks
And bullocks to it all
You tell me you think that they should lock her away
And scrape the make-up off her skin
Then we'd see the warts around her chin
She tried to keep her looks but lost her mind
When she lost her youth and grace
Your words were just an insult to her face
It ain't easy when there's no-one to lean on
It ain't easy when there's nobody there
It ain't easy when your lovers are all gone
And bullocks to it all
When I first saw you, I really thought you were a wet dream come true
Now I know that you don't care
Found my love by the gaswork croft
Dreamed a dream by the old canal
Kissed my girl by the factory wall
Dirty old town, dirty old town
I heard a siren from the dock
Saw a train set the night on fire
Smelled the spring on the sulfured wind
Dirty old town, whoa-oh, dirty old town
We're goin' to take a good sharp axe
Shining steel tempered in the fire
And we'll chop you down like an old dead tree
Dirty old town, dirty old town
Dirty old town, whoa-oh, dirty old town
And oh we'll chop you down
Oh, dirty, dirty, dirty old town
Dirty old town, dirty old town
And oh whoa-oh dirty old town
Got this funny feeling going through my head
That if I go down to the pub I might just end up in bed
With a blond or a brunette or a red head or two
But oh what am I saying that'll never happen to you
Can this be right? Can this be wrong?
Doing what I'm doing all night long
I love to brag, I love to boast
And all the lads in the pub think I've had the most
You see 'cos I just love to fantasize
All these thoughts I've got inside
It can't be healthy what I'm doing
I'd like to get them out my head
Before I go blind in my bed
Time to change is days and she's heading for you
She knows just what she wants and she knows what to do
She drags you back to her place step over the toys
The baby-sitters sleeping so we can't make much noise
It's been so long, I won't go fast
Ejaculation, celebration here at last
Pig in shit, cat and the cream
I open up my eyes, but It's another wet dream
You see 'cos I just love to fantasize
All these thoughts I've got inside
It can't be healthy what I'm doing
I'd like to get them out my head
Before I go blind in my bed
I've had this funny feeling lying in my bed
Someone's spreading rumours down the King's Head
But I've got this reputation and I can't stop it now
I'd like to be in heaven but this feels like hell
Can this be right? Can this be wrong?
Doing what I'm doing all night long
I love to brag, I love to boast
And all the lads in the pub think I've had the most
You see 'cos I just love to fantasize
I close my eyes she's always there
Why am I living this nightmare?
She's a darling in my eyes
But I just love to fantasize
You see 'cos I just love to fantasize
On my bed I always lie
Same old blue book in my hand
To the pictures I relate
Someone lights a cigarette
While riding in a car
Some ol' guy take a swig
And passes back the jar
But where they were last night
No one can remember
Goodbye, for keeps forever
Somebody got murdered
Somebody's dead forever
And you're minding your own business
Carrying spare change
You wouldn't cosh a barber
You're hungry all the same
I been very tempted
To grab it from the till
I been very hungry
But not enough to kill
Somebody got murdered
His name cannot be found
A small stain on the pavement
They'll scrub it off the ground
As the daily crown disperse
No one says that much
Somebody got murdered
And it' left me with a touch
Somebody got murdered
Somebody's dead forever
Sounds like murder
Those shouts
Are they drunk down below?
It's late and my watch stopped
Some time ago
Sounds like murder
Those screams
I want to go home
Yes, I want to go home
Lord oh, I want to go home
If you see my mother
Two sisters and brother, yeah
Tell them I want to come home
This life I'm livin'
Is better off dyin', yeah
Lord, I want to come home
I want to go home
Yeah, I want to go home
Oh, I want to go home
I want to go home
Yes, I want to go home
Lord oh, I want to go home
This life I'm livin'
I'm better off dyin', yeah
Lord oh, I want to go home
I want to go home
Please, let me go home
Oh, I want to go home
Want to go home
The bright lights, the bright lights, the bright lights
The bright lights, the bright lights, the bright lights
I thought I might move down to London Town
I could get in a band, have fun all the year round
The living down there must be pretty easy
I could rip up my jeans deliberately
The streets really must be paved with gold
If everybody goes WHAM! and has fun on the dole
Imagine what it would be like for me
I've seen the pictures in the magazines
Because I've been down too long now
I don't understand why
But something's gotta change soon
Because I can't just sit and cry
Something better come right
Something better come right
Something better come right soon
Something got to come right
Something got to come right
Something got to come right soon
The bright lights, the bright lights, the bright lights
The bright lights, the bright lights, the bright lights
Something better come right
Something better come right
Something better come right soon
I got down to London and what did I see?
A thousand policemen all over the street
The people were shouting and looking at me
They said 'the Colin Roach's family demand an enquiry'
I woke up from a terrible dream
I saw millions of people replaced by machines
I thought, I've got to change more than my clothes
If I want to do something more than just pose
I've been down too long now
I must go up from here
Somethings got to change soon
Because I can't just disappear
Something's got to come right
Something's got to come right
Something's got to come right soon
Something better come right
Something better come right
Is this the in place to be?

Going around causing disturbances
Don't you know you'll never win
You've got your family running around
Trying to stop you from going down
It's you, that I'm talking to

Court in session.
What do you mean
'Oy oy oy'? Must have court in session.
Order. My name is Judge Roughneck,
And I will not tolerate any disobedience in my courtroom.
Rude boy, you have been brought in
Front of me and charged
With smashing this woman's window.
Before I sentence you,
What have you got to say in your defense?
I was walking down the street one night
When I saw her silhouette in her bathroom light
Her way of life may be nothing to hide
With her frosted glass shattered, curtains open wide
Naked woman, naked man,
Where did you get that nice sun tan?
You live in a castle built of sand
Naked woman, naked man...
Naked from your bath,
You go naked to your bed
And I can't stop the hatred
Running through my head
Silence in court. Order.
Rude boy, you have led me to believe
That you was going out with a girl,
And she left you and married someone else.
So you got drunk,
And smashed up your ex-girlfriend's property.
I have come to one conclusion,
That is to sentence you to five months in prison.
Before they take you down to the cells,
What have you got to say for yourself?
He wanted to be something but she knows he never will
She's got him where she wanted
And forgot to take her pill
And he thinks that
She'll be happy when she's hanging out the nappies
If that's a happy marriage
I'd prefer to be unhappy!
Married woman, married man...
Where did you get that family plan?
Mrs. Ewe and Mr. Ram
Where did you get that lovely lamb?
Naked woman, naked man,
where did you get that nice sun tan?
(Order in my courtroom)
Naked woman, naked man,
where did you get that nice sun tan?
(Hush up)
Naked woman, naked man,
where did you get that nice sun tan?
Out of bed at eight am
Out my head by half past ten
Out with mates and dates and friends
That's what I do at weekends
I can't talk and I can't walk
But I know where I'm going to go
I'm going watch my money go
At the Locarno, no
When my feet go through the door
I know what my right arm is for
Buy a drink and pull a chair
Up to the edge of the dance floor
Bouncers bouncing through the night
Trying to stop or start a fight
I sit and watch the flashing lights
Moving legs in footless tights
I go out on Friday night and I come home on Saturday morning
I go out on Friday night and I come home on Saturday morning
I like to venture into town
I like to get a few drinks down
The floor gets packed the bar gets full
I don't like life when things get dull
The hen party have saved the night
And freed themselves from drunken stags
Having fun and dancing in
A circle round their leather bags
I go out on Friday night and I come home on Saturday morning
I go out on Friday night and I come home on Saturday morning
But two o'clock has come again
It's time to leave this paradise
Hope the chip shop isn't closed
Cos' their pies are really nice
I'll eat in the taxi queue
Standing in someone else's spew
Wish I had lipstick on my shirt
Instead of piss stains on my shoes
I go out on Friday night and I come home on Saturday morning
I go out on Friday night and I come home on Saturday morning
I go out on Friday night and I come home on Saturday morning
What you gonna do, when guests drop in on you?
We won't go away, 'cos we've come out to stay
Stand there like parked cars if you want to
We can't force you to enjoy this music
Take it or leave it we'll carry on regardless
If you don't like it you don't have to use it
It's up to you, up to you
It's up to you, up to you
It's up to you, up to you
It's up to you, up to you
Looks like a case of the blind leading the deaf to me
You must be bored out of your pants
Take it or leave it we'll carry on regardless
If you don't like it you don't have to dance
It's up to you, up to you, black
It's up to you, up to you, white
It's up to you, up to you, unite
It's up to you, up to you, or fight
In London town you can hear the youth them say "Take warning"
It's up to you what you really wanna do
For you were standing on the corner giving trouble
When the policeman come he say you have to move on the double, yeah
So, steppin' up the street with my little rude girl
With her 'stay-pressed' to her ankles
It's up to her what she really wants to do
It's up to you, you and strictly you and you
What you gonna do, when morons come for you?
They won't go away, they want the whole world painted grey
It's up to you, up to you
It's up to you, up to you
It's up to you, up to you
Out in the heat and the dust, well survival is tough
When he puts out his hand, yeah he's an angry young man
You say he don't feel no pain 'cos he's the man with no name
And the streets are his bed every night
And the boots on his feet, they walk a long lonely street
To the Heartbreak Hotel, out on highway to hell
You say he don't feel no pain 'cos he's the man with no name
And yet the streets are his bed every night
Oh why should we care?
It's another world out there
But could you change your point of view
It could be me, it could be you
Under bushes in the park, and shop doorways after dark
And all the losers and the lost, just surviving in Jack Frost
You say they don't feel no pain, all them people without no name
And yet the streets are their bed every night
Say she don't feel no pain, when she's out there on the game
Yeah she walks along this street every night
I say you don't feel no pain 'cos you're the man with no name
You've got to think for yourself, work it out
You've got to know when to talk, when to shout
You've got to know when to laugh, when to cry
You've got to know when to stay, when to fly
It's no big deal
To say how you feel
Talk about it
Talk about it now
You've got to know what is real, what is fake
You've got to know when to give, when to take
It's no big deal
To say how you feel
Talk about it
Talk about it now
Won't you talk to me for ever?
Won't you make me understand?
Say it loud, don't hesitate
Just say your piece, communicate
When you're dead it's way to late
It's way to late
Talk about it
It's way to late
You've got to think for yourself, work it out
You've got to know when to talk, when to shout
You've got to know when to fight, when to run
If they can't solve it then you reload your gun
It's no big deal
To say how you feel
Talk about it
Talk about it now
Talk about it
Talk about it
Talk about it
When you look, what do you see?
You only see the monkey not the man in me
But now I'm back, and that's a fact
Gonna show the next generation where I'm at
What I mean is to say
The way that I was is the same as I am today
Now if you're white, or if you're black
Remember you can't get the monkey off your back
And now you're running and you're running and you're running away
You're running from the monkey man
And now you're running and you're running and you're running away
You're running from the monkey man
I was lost, but now I'm found
Some might even say that I've been around
With the crowd I would move
Mr. sophisticated just can't lose
Now in the style that I was dressed
I was the steady reason no-one could test
Yeah I was smart and I was cool
No matter how hard they tried I was no-ones fool
And now you're running and you're running and you're running away
You're running from the monkey man
And now you're running and you're running and you're running away
You're running from the monkey man
Did you hear what I say?
Now did you hear what I say?
When you look, what do you see?
You only see the monkey not the man in me
But now I'm back, and that's a fact
Gonna show the next generation where I'm at
What I mean is to say
The way that I was is the same as I am today
And if you're white, or if you're black
Remember you can't get the monkey off your back
And now you're running and you're running and you're running away
He's just a stereotype
He drinks his age in pints
He has girls every night
He dosen't really exist
He spends his weekends with whatever floats
He forgets the punchline when he tells a joke
He wants to stay out dosen't want to go home
Till his prickly fingers are stuck down his throat
He's just a stereotype
He drinks his age in pints
He drives home pissed at night
And he listens to this every hour
He drank his fiancee when he...
The doctor said no drink for 17 weeks
He wants to gout but he has to stay home
So he watches color TV on his own
He's just a stereotype
He drinks his age in pints
He drives home pissed at night
And he listens to this every hour
The toplets are finished
The cure is complete
He hasn't had a drink for 17 weeks
17 punks to limit his night
Goes straight to his head, he ends up in a fight
He's chasing ... on a dark rainy night
The rest ... with flashing lights
His mom's waking up she hopes he's alright
But he's wrapped round the lampost on Saturday night
He's just a stereotype
He drinks his age in pints
He has girls every night
Desmond is a big man, he is six foot one
He brought home an organ, just to have some fun
Pressure got too much, stardom take it's toll
Woh, his life is just one big black hole
Woh, Desmond you should've held your head up high
Not be dispirited when your feeling gets you down
As I sat there watching Desmond acting like a clown
My tears come falling down like rain
My tears come falling down like rain
Alton was a hard man yes we all agree
Him sacrifice life for his family
Policeman come, put him in a jail
You should've heard old Alton wail
Oh Alton, you should've held your head up high
Not be dispirited when your feeling gets you down
Now they come and tell me he's lying dead in a cell
My tears come falling down like rain
My tears come falling down like rain
Come from Jamaica, I was eight years old
I didn't want to, I had to do what I was told
Stepmother brought me up, she taught me right from wrong
Every night, she used to sing this little song
Woh, children you've got to hold your head up high
Not be dispirited when your feeling gets you down
When I think about my family the joy just makes me cry
My tears come falling down like rain
My tears come falling down like rain
Each day I walk along this lonely street
Trying to find, find a future
New pair of shoes are on my feet
Cos' fashion is my only culture
Nothing ever change, oh no...
Nothing ever change
People say to me just be yourself
It makes no sense to follow fashion
How could I be anybody else
I don't try, I've got no reason
Nothing ever change, oh no...
Nothing ever change
I'm just living in a life without meaning
I walk and walk, do nothing
I'm just living in a life without feeling
I talk and talk, say nothing
Nothing ever change, oh no...
Nothing ever change
I walk along this same old lonely street
Still trying to find, find a reason
Policeman comes and smacks me in the teeth
I don't complain, it's not my function
Nothing ever change, oh no...
Nothing ever change
They're just living in a life without meaning
I walk and walk, do nothing
They're just playing in a life without thinking
They talk and talk, say nothing
I'm just living in a life without feeling
I walk and walk, I'm dreaming
I'm just living in a life without feeling
I talk and talk, say nothing
I'm just living in a life without meaning
Good evening ladies and gentlemen
This is your captain speaking
Welcome aboard DC-10 flight number 1313
We will be cruising at a height of 25, 000 feet at an air speed of 600 miles per hour
Headphones will be provided by request for a varied program of in flight music
Have a good flight
Safety belts and sickness bags, jet lag downer pills
Duty free booze and fags make me feel I'll
A vapour trail from A to B, away from normal sanity
It all seems so absurd to me
I've seen the carpets on the walls of hotels rooms around the world
I never want to hear the screams of the teenage girls in other peoples dreams
Spread the disease from the south China sea to the beach hotel Malibu
Phone my girlfriend to ask her "How's her weekend?"
I say "Hi, Terry here", and she says "Terry who? (The hell are you? )"
The businessmen are having fun
Are they on a different plane to me
I've lost touch with reality
They all seem so absurd to me like well dressed chimpanzees
Spend and spend and spend and spend, will the muzak never end?
Mark!?
Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking
Due to expected engine failures we will be forced to attempt an emergency landing
Please remain seated, extinguish all cigarettes and fasten safety belts
Follow the emergency procedures laid out in the pamphlet located in front of your seats
For normal breathing, oxygen masks will be released from the compartment above your head
Please remain calm and follow the instructions of your stewardess at all times
A prostitute to your art
In debt before you start
You've made your bed, don't lose your head
Be careful of the sharks
Believe in what you're told
You're worth your weight in gold
Here comes the catch, you're on their patch
Twice over you've been sold
It's a long long road could you get back home
Old bridges you are burning
There's time to kill when you pay the bill
'Cos boys must keep on learning
Keep on learning, got to keep on learning
Keep on learning else your fingers get burned
Two years you were the star
Pretty girls and fancy cars
Now moneys gone, she won't hold on
No free beer at the bar
Working for 'Burke & Hare'
It's a business that doesn't care
You've made your bed, don't lose your head
Who said that life was fair?
It's a long long road could you get back home
Old bridges you are burning
There's time to kill when you pay the bill
'Cos boys must keep on learning
Keep on learning, got to keep on learning
Keep on learning else your fingers get burned
Believe in what you're told
You're worth your weight in gold
Here comes the catch, you're on their patch
Twice over you've been sold
Working for 'Burke & Hare'

It's a long long road could you get back home
Old bridges you are burning
There's time to kill when you pay the bill
'Cos boys must keep on learning
Keep on learning, got to keep on learning
Why did you try to hurt me?
I got to know
Did you really want to kill me
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
Why do we have to fight?
Why must we fight?
I have to defend myself
From attack last night
I know I am black
You know you are white
I'm proud of my black skin
And you are proud of your white, so
Why did you try to hurt me?
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
Did you really want to kill me
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
We don't need no British Movement
Nor the Ku Klux Klan
Nor the National Front
It makes me an angry man
I just want to live in peace
Why can't you be the same?
Why should I live in fear?
This fussing and fighting's insane
With a Nazi salute and a steel capped boot
A Nazi salute and a steel capped boot
You follow like sheep inna wolf clothes
You follow like sheep inna wolf clothes
We chase you out the dance hall,
we chase you through the door
We chase you out the dance hall,
we chase you through the door
Cos' we can't take no more of this at all
Cos' we can't take no more of this at all
With a Nazi salute and a steel capped boot
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
You follow like sheep inna wolf clothes
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
You're too scared to make a speech during the light
Without a thousand police protecting your rights
To threaten and abuse, incite or fight
But who will protect me from you in the night?
Why did you try to hurt me?
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
Did you really want to kill me
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
With a Nazi salute and a steel capped boot
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
You follow like sheep inna wolf clothes

Free Nelson Mandela
Free free
Free free free Nelson Mandela
Free Nelson Mandela
21 years in captivity
Shoes too small to fit his feet
His body abused, but his mind is still free
You're so blind that you cannot see
Free Nelson Mandela
Visited the causes at the AMC
Only one man in a large army
You're so blind that you cannot see
You're so deaf that you cannot hear him
Free Nelson Mandela
21 tears in captivity
You're so blind that you cannot see
You're so deaf that you cannot hear him
You're so dumb that you cannot speak
Put out my cigarette
And switch off the TV set
This is not the life for me
I'm going out tonight
Put on my trendy clothes
And head for where the in crowd goes
Might find true love who knows
Tonight might be the night
Will you be there? will you see me?
In the lonely crowd
I can hear you can you hear me?
Everybody's talking so loud
I want some freedom from the tedium
I've got no where to go tonight
I'm in the lonely crowd
So turn the lights down low
And play the music loud
What the hell is wrong in here?
There's nothing going on and on
Did someone cut the atmosphere with a knife?
Stare at each other wondering what's the matter
Mutter in a nervous stutter
Do you call this life?
I can see you can you see me?
In the lonely crowd
I can hear you can you hear me?
Everybody's shouting loud
Give me some freedom from the tedium.
We've got nowhere to go tonight
I'm in the lonely crowd
So turn the lights down low
Just because you're nobody
It doesn't mean that you're no good
Just because there's a reason
It doesn't mean it's understood
It doesn't make it alright
It doesn't make it alright
It's the worst excuse in the world
And it, it doesn't make it alright
Some people think they're really clever
To smash your head against the wall
Then they say, "You got it my way"
They really think they know it all
It doesn't make it alright
It doesn't make it alright
It's the worst excuse in the world
And it, it doesn't make it alright
Just because you're a black boy
Just because you're a white
It doesn't mean you've got to hate him
It doesn't mean you've got to fight
It doesn't make it alright
It doesn't make it alright
It's the worst excuse in the world
And it, it doesn't make it alright
Come let me tell you about the shotguns of Hillfields
Let me tell you about the stenguns of Knightsbridge
Let me tell you about the Moss Side barretta
Let me tell you about the windows of my house
I'm not afraid of being afraid, I'm only fearful
I'm not afraid of being afraid, I'm only fearful
Let me tell you about the bombs in the Arndale
Let me tell you about the Welling election
Let me tell you about the black church burning
Let me tell you about the bat by my front door
I'm not afraid of being afraid, I'm only fearful
I'm not afraid of being afraid, I'm only fearful
Don't talk to strangers
Bolt your front door, don't make eye contact
Buy a crook lock, wear your flak vest to the supermarket
It makes me shudder when I read the newspaper
Have a career, learn to breed paranoia
Me keep a watching on the rear view mirror
Me no tell you where I keep my revolver
Come let me tell you about the security systems
Let me tell you about the video surveillance
Let me tell you about my new rotweiller
Welcome to the siege mentality
I'm not afraid of being afraid, I'm only fearful
I'm not afraid of being afraid, I'm only fearful
I'm not afraid of being afraid, I'm only fearful
I'm not afraid of being afraid, I'm only fearful
An icy wind blows through the door
You feel like you've been here before
You tremble and you start to sweat
The symptoms of withdrawal
Alcohol
Why do you do it?
Why do you keep beating me?
You give some people a real good time
But you cause some untold misery
Heroin
Why do you do it?
I don't like what i've seen
You promise someone a real good time
And then you take them from their family
You tremble and you start to sweat
You don't want to withdraw
And when your flesh begins to crawl
You'd rather not be here at all
Alcohol
How do you do it?
Please don't do it to me
You give some people a real good time
But you cause some untold misery
Alcohol
Why do you do it?
You ain't gonna do it to me
You give some people a real good time
If you have a racist friend
Now is the time, now is the time
For your friendship to end
Be it your sister, be it your brother
Be it your cousin, or your uncle, or your lover
If you have a racist friend
Now is the time, now is the time

Or change your friends
If you have a racist friend
Now is the time, now is the time
For your friendship to end
So if you know a racist who thinks he is your friend
Now is the time, now is the time
For your friendship to end
Call yourself my friend
Now is the time to make up your mind
Don't try to pretend
Be it your sister, be it your brother
Be it your cousin, or your uncle, or your lover
So if you have a racist friend
Now is the time, now is the time
It ain't safe to walk out tonight
There's always someone ready to start a fight
What did I do? What did I say?
And did I look at you, the wrong way?
I don't know what's going on
But instead of having fun, you're gonna spoil the night
So don't you tell me that you're sorry
And don't you tell me it's all good
Leave it leave it leave it out
If you're coming in for trouble then you know you're going out
Leave it leave it leave it out
What's the point of acting big just because there's a crowd
Stinking breath, and blood on your hands
Another guilty feeling comes as you wake up
What did you do? What did you say?
And would you act the same the next day?
So don't you tell me that you're sorry
And don't you tell me it's all good
Leave it leave it leave it out
If you're coming in for trouble then you know you're going out
Leave it leave it leave it out
What's the point of acting big just because there's a crowd
It ain't safe to go out tonight
There's always someone ready to start a fight
What did I do? What did I say?
And did I look at you, the wrong way?
So don't you tell me that you're sorry
And don't you tell me it's all good
Leave it leave it leave it out
If you're coming in for trouble then you know you're going out
Leave it leave it leave it out
What's the point of acting big just because there's a crowd
Leave it leave it leave it out
If you're coming in for trouble then you know you're going out
Leave it leave it leave it out
For too long, i have lived in a trap built of lies
But one day i'm gonna breakout because at last i've realised
Breakdown the door of the trap that you're in
You've got to breakout before the four walls have closed in
Breakdown the door
Do it you've gotta
You've gotta do what?
You've gotta do what you wanna
You've gotta get out
But you can't because you're up to your neck
And there's no turning back so you try to forget
The cracks have started to appear
You want to get away
Before the fun turns into tears
You wish that you could
Breakdown the door
You've got to breakdown
Before you breakdown
You've got to breakdown, breakdown the door
Go, where?, wherever you want
You'd better go if your gonna
Do what you want
But you can't because you're up to your neck
And there's no turning back so you try to forget
Before the cracks start to appear you want to get away
Before the days turn into the years you wish that you could
Breakdown the door
Everybody wants to breakdown the door Of the trap that they're in
Breakout before the four walls have closed in
Breakdown the door
Breakdown the door Of the trap that you're in
Bombs to settle arguments the order of the booth
Can you hear them crying in the rubble of Beirut?
I can still see people dying, now who takes the blame?
The numbers are different, the crime is still the same
From the graves of Belsen where the innocent will burn
To the genocide in Beirut, Israel, was nothing learned?
I can still hear people crying, now who takes the blame?
The numbers are different; the crime is still the same
Bombs to settle arguments, the order of the booth
From the graves of Belsen, to the ruins of Beirut
I can still see people dying, now who takes the blame?
This is the dawning of a new era
This is the dawning of a new era
I met a girl from area three
She told me that she worked in a chicken factory
This is the dawning of a new era
By two o'clock we were 'Brahms & Lisst'
I had to walk her home through area six
This is the dawning of a new era
Sticks and stones may break my bones
In area six they throw bottles and bricks and kicks
This is the dawning of a new era
I climbed the stairs to the fourteenth floor
The key won't fit the door
This is the dawning of a new era
She said she had a beautiful flat
We had to sleep on the mat
This is the dawning of a new era
Woke up and thought "This ain't exactly heaven"
Oh shit, this is area seven
This is the dawning of a new era
This is the dawning of a new era
This is the dawning of a new era
Walk out,
Girl don't you walk out
We've got things to say
Talked out, let's have it talked out
Things will be okay
Girl
I don't want to find
That I'm a little bit wrong
And you're a little bit right
I said girl
You know that it's true
It's a little bit me, (a little bit me)
And it's a little bit you... too
Don't know... just what I said wrong
But girl I apologize
Don't go... here's where you belong
So wipe the tears from your eyes
Girl
I don't want to find
That I'm a little bit wrong
And you're a little bit right
I said girl
You know that it's true
It's a little bit me
And it's a little bit you... too
Oh girl
I don't want to find
I'm a little bit wrong
And you're a little bit right
I said girl
You know that it's true
It's a little bit me
And it's a little bit you... to
It's a little bit me
It's a little bit you
Girl don't go
no no no no no
Girl don't go
no no no no no
I want all you skinheads to get up on your feet
Put your braces together and your boots on your feet
And give me some of that old moonstomping
Are you ready? Start stomping!
Tears in my beer, well it just ain't clear
i had a dream, well so it seems
she's in the sun, not having fun
and i'm standing here, just the lonely one
Tears in my beer, here comes another year
seen it all before, just like a closing door
there was a time, when she was mine
well it's so long ago, does she want to know?
I know you just think that i'm just singing the blues
but i've got nothing to lose
Tears in my beer, it's getting clear
her face i see, right next to me
she's drinking wine, and looking fine
i'm feeling sad, it's just a dream i had
I know you just think that i'm just singing the blues
but i've got nothing to lose
Tears in my beer, it just ain't clear
i had a dream, well so it seems
she's in the sun, just having fun
while i'm standing here, tears in my beer
But she ain't here
Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think
Enjoy yourself, while you're still in the pink
The years go by, as quickly as you wink
Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself,
It's later than you think
Hello, I'm Terry,
And I'm going to enjoy myself first
It's good to be wise when you're young
'Cos you can only be young but the once
Enjoy yourself and have lots of fun
So glad and live life longer than you've ever done
Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think
Enjoy yourself, while you're still in the pink
The years go by, as quickly as you wink
Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself,
It's later than you think
Never right, yes I know
Get wisdom, knowledge and understanding
These three, were given free by the maker
Go to school, learn the rules, don't be no faker
It's not wise for you to be a foot stool
Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think
Enjoy yourself, while you're still in the pink
The years go by, as quickly as you wink
Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself,
It's later than you think
Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think
Enjoy yourself, while you're still in the pink
The years go by, as quickly as you wink
Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself,
There she was
Swinging down the high street, yeah
Hair cropped short, butts and perm
I couldn't believe my eyes,
Like a story out of a book
She was my height
My weight
My size
She wore (her braces and blue jeans)
Skinhead girl(x4)
She was mine
I made up my mind
Was gonna be corageous, yeah
Her head on my hand
And touch her gentle
She looked at me
And smiled
I know that was for real
She was my height
So what's the point of thinking deep
I bite my nails and I'm losing sleep
Goes round and round and will never halt
It's all gone wrong and it's all my fault
I used the sugar when I needed salt
Things ain't cooking for me, as you see
I need a laugh so I take a drink
Ain't it strange how they start to shrink
I swig a river and I cry a lake
It's all gone wrong and it's my mistake
I wanted tremor but I got earthquake
Things ain't going my way, not today
I'm sitting on a one way train
You say I'm heading for an early grave
There goes anxiety my favorite station
And here comes panic and palpitation
I get frustrated 'cos I need a break
But when it comes along you know I'll take
I've never eaten from the hand of fate
It's all gone wrong but it's not too late
I needed love but all I got was hate
Things ain't down to a tee, believe me
I'm sitting on a one way train
You say I'm heading for an early grave
There goes anxiety my favorite station
And here comes panic and palpitation
I saw the doctor 'cos I'm feeling stress
"Hop on the couch" he said, "and get undressed"
He shook his head and said "the futures bleak"
It's getting worse and I ain't hit my peak
I want to shout but I can't even speak
Guns of Navarone
Guns, guns of Navarone
Music and your singing a song, you've got to go...
As long as you wane beat the jungle jive, this is called "The Shark Attack"
Designed to blow your mind
Call me a raga bum, it's gonna blow your mind in a minute
Guns of Navarone, lets see you...
I could tell you?
Guns of Navarone
One kilo, send shark in harbour
Alright, blow, Mister Rico, blow
Alright
Come on in
Musical vibrations sound is shaking the nation
We will become the noise of tomorrow
Shake it up
Shake it baby, mamma don't break it
You want another Nazi number baby boomer, shake it now or never
Separation, real life
Baby don't forget about that
You've done too much,
Much too young
Now you're married with a kid
When you could be having fun with me
Oh no, no gimme no more pickni
You've done too much,
Much too young
Now you're married with a son
When you should be having fun with me
We don't want, we don't want
We don't want no more pickni
Ain't he cute?
No he ain't
He's just another burden
On the welfare state
You've done too much,
Much too young
Now you're married with a kid
When you could be having fun with me
No gimme, no gimme,
No gimme no more pickni
Call me immature
Call me a poser
I'd love to spread manure in your bed of roses
Don't want to be rich
Don't want to be famous
But I'd really hate to have the same name as you
(You silly moo)
You've done too much,
Much too young
Now you're married with a kid
When you could be having fun with me
Gi we de birth control, we no want no pickni
You've done too much,
Much too young
Now you're chained to the cooker
Making currant buns for tea
Oh no, no gimme no more pickni
Ain't you heard of the starving millions
Ain't you heard of contraception
Do you really a program of sterilization
Take control of the population boom
It's in your living room
Keep a generation gap
I 'aint gonna work on Maggie's farm no more
I 'aint gonna work on Maggie's farm no more
Well I wake up in the morning, fold my hands and pray
for rain
I've got a head full of ideas, and they're driving me
insane
It's a shame the way she makes me scrub the floor
I 'aint gonna work on Maggie's farm no more
I 'aint gonna work for Maggie's brother no more
I 'aint gonna work for Maggie's brother no more
Well he throws you a penny, and thinks that he's so
kind
He ask's you with a grin if you are having a good time
But he finds you every time you slam the door
I 'aint gonna work for Maggie's brother no more
I 'aint gonna work for Maggie's pa no more
I 'aint gonna work for Maggie's pa no more
Well he put's his cigar out in your face just for
kick's
His bedroom window it is made out of bricks
And National Front stands behind closed doors
I 'aint gonna work for Maggie's pa no more
I 'aint gonna work on Maggie's farm no more
I 'aint gonna work on Maggie's farm no more
Well she talks to all the servant's about man and God
and law
Everybody says that she's the brains behind it all
She's 68 but she says she's 54
I 'aint gonna work on Maggie's farm no more
I 'aint gonna work on Maggie's farm no more
I 'aint gonna work on Maggie's farm no more
Well I tried my best to be just like I am
But everybody wants you to be just like them
They say 'Sing while you slave' and I just get poor
