You fell in love with your ego
It did not fit into plan

Your alter-ego is a moron

No closet is private

Always hurt the one you love

What you gonna do - When the river runs dry
Put your drills in the mud - Death up in the sky
Should have saved those bottles -
Should have saved those cans
Shouldn't ought'a listen to the plastic man
No more toilet papet - It's gone just like the trees
Do you like the taste of honey - Isn't it best without the bees
Be careful what you're doing - You're messing up my life
And if all this world's a cake - Then you took too big a slice
What's it all about - They scream and then they shout
Don't ask me - Cause I don't know (I don't know)
What's it all about - They scream and then they shout
Don't blame me - I told you so
Read it in the papers - You hear it in the news
Very few listen - A spew without a view
And is it really worth it - You're choking on remote
I see the red tide coming - But we don't even vote
Infection in the greenhouse - Dizzy in the clouds
Oily as an ocean - Heaven disemboweled
Planning on a future - Well lucky for some
Develop your body - But your mind is still a slum
What's it all about - They scream and then they shout
Don't ask me - Cause I don't know
What's it all about - They scream and then they shout (Well don't ask me)
Don't blame me - I told you so (Middle-age)
The product in the packaging
Of multi-layered glam
150 layers of materials
To cover up a sham
Protecting my planet
Wrap it in plastic
This package is product
Perfected eternal
A crap in a cling wrap
I never met yet a prime minister or president
Who told the truth yet
Swimming in the slurry
Burning in the heat
Wind blown is this weather
I eat what you secrete
I climb this highest derrick
This circus has no prayer
No UFO to save us
And do we really care
What's it all about - They scream and then they shout (Do we really care)
Don't ask me - Cause I don't know
What's it all about - They scream and then they shout
Don't blame me - I told you so
What's it all about - They scream and then they shout (No UFO to save us)
Don't ask me - Cause I don't know
What's it all about - They scream and then they shout (No fun, no religion)
Don't blame me - I told you so
What's it all about - They scream and then they shout
Don't ask me - Cause I don't know
What's it all about - They scream and then they shout (Climb this highest derrick)
Don't blame me - I told you so
Kiss goodbye to the Earth, the sun, the moon
It's easy to decieve a child.
Seeing in your eyes
Words can never say the way
Told me in your eyes
Final in a fade
Never no more hope away
Final in a fade
Seeing in your eyes
Seeing in your eyes
Never really know
Never realize
Silence in your eyes
Silence in your eyes
Never really know
Til its gone away
Never realize
The silence in your eyes
Seen it in your eyes
Seen it in your eyes
Never no more hope away
Final in a fade
Watch her slowly die
Saw it in her eyes
Choking on a bed
Flowers rotting dead
seen it in her eyes
Ending in a day
Silence was a way
Seeing in yoru eyes
Seeing in your eyes
Seeing in your eyes
I'm seeing through my eyes
Words cannot express

Now this age of learning
Vocal vocabulary
But it still comes out sounding
Like some silly soliloquy
This attitude of learning
All the books you read
Pretty parrot fashion
But there's nothing in your head
You're winning
Better off removing
This educated stance
And the brilliant observing
When you're young and got the chance
You're winning
There are no easy answers to elongated questions
So try and keep an eye out
And be open to suggestions
Be winning
And now you're understanding
Don't be vegetating
All the doors are open
Open and revolving
Heartaches and the headaches
TALK TALK TALK TALK TALK
CHORUS
Like that, she did not like that
She did not like that-she never will
Like that, she did not like that
She did not like that-she never will
Just like a woman
Bad boy you should not do that
You penny pincher from rags to riches
and it's a pity so inexpertly
You mixed your roses with your cabbages
CHORUS
Like that. She does not like that
Like that. She did not like that
JUst like a woman. And every man
In human nature these snakes and ladders
The fairground noises are messages
LIfe would be dull and boring
Without the choices of passages
Just like those dancing dervish
We spin in circles we strike up poses
CHORUS
Just like a woman, anad every man
Combine those dreams and wishes
Better days will never be
Better days will never be
Better days will never be
Now what does this mean
It means we get the best scenes
When politics talk, the ends of power meet
Nice to be wanted, safe and protected
The ends of power when politics talk
Better days will never be
Better days will never be
Better days will never be
Better days will never be
Home sweet home, home, home
Let's talk politics
Every dog has it's day
For me (for me)
I don't believe (I don't believe in anything)
Better days ahead (one more war)
Will never be (I do believe no more)
I don't believe in (no long goodbye)
Anything (nuclear day)
Better days will never be
Better days will never be
Better days will never be
Spare no man, match bomb for bomb
War, all is fair in war
When the ground is soft with hot blood
Spare no man
Better days will never be (match bomb for bomb)
A scorched Earth (flatten the Earth, this home sweet home)
No charity (burn evreything, from lust to dust)
No weak pity (no charity, no weak pity)
From lust to dust (all is fair in war)
Home sweet home
Home sweet home
Home sweet home
Home sweet home
Home sweet home
Home sweet home
Home sweet home
Home sweet home
Don't you worry. Worry no more
YOur own holocaust to wallow in
Exaggeration in story telling
Merely a statistic in this latitude
Don't you worry
These words are like bullets
They go straight to my head
And I grow on greed, with the mother of invention
Don't you worry
These words are like bullets
They go straight to my head
The fruits of life, gave me dysentery
These words are like bullets
They go straight to my head
Keep an ear to the ground
Only flesh is earthbound
Don't you worry no more
Fields they have eyes
Woods they have ears
Fish always sink
Head first
downwards
I'll never dismount
I ride this tiger
Crosses are
ladders
Leading to heaven
I'm a warrior
I take no
prisoner
Keep the candle burning
Bright in the window
It's the
only light i'll see tonight
Beggars can't be choosers
Shrouds they have
no pockets
Some of us wake up
Others roll over
But not I
I'm a
warrior
This is my land
I'm a warrior
This is my land
I'll never
surrender
I'm a warrior
Hear this dog bark
Watch the trees
sway
Keep the candle burning
Both night and day
Many invade
I take
no quarter
This is my land
I'll never surrender
I'm a warrior
This
is my land
I'll never surrender
I'm a warrior
I'll never
surrender
I take no prisoner
I'm a warrior
Warrior
I'm a
warrior
These fields have eyes
These woods have ears
Many
invade
But I take no quarter
This is my land
I'm a warrior
I'm a
warrior
I'll never dismount
Under the house
Under the house
It came out of the wall
A single cadaver
(under the house)
It went under the house
Scream in the trees
Under the moon
(scream in a dream)
Solid the grave
(vile stinking)
Stone cold ambition
Solid and gross
It went under the house
It's not the sun I wear as a crown
I colour the clouds
Under the house
Solid the grave
Stone cold ambition
(solid discreet)
It came out of the wall
A single cadaver
It went under the house
A scream in the trees
Under the moon
Ages apart
Under the house
It's not the sun I wear as a crown
I follow the clouds
Under the house
Scream in the trees
Under the moon
It came out of the wall
A single cadaver
It went under the house
The jugular bulge rips
Steal if I could
Under the house
(ages apart, under the house)
Scream in the trees
(stone cold ambition, solid discreet)
Under the moon
(under the house)
It went under the house
Under the house
A scream in the trees
Under the moon
The vile stink in my nostril
A single cadaver
(stone cold ambition)
It clouded out of the wall
Solid disgrace
(the smoke is a float)
It's not the sun that I wear as a crown
(every breeze brings disease)
Ages apart
Under the house

Where is all began
born on desert sands
Desperate citizens
Led by scorpions
Now the condition
Religious discipline
Foraging fanaticism
Heaven this mouth of soap
God his private joke
So save me
This camel in the needles eye
Will laugh and let you die
Tear from limb to limb
Take this pound of flesh
Searing chinking dust
Madness full of lust
Tear from limb to limb
Take this pound of flesh
Save me
Save me
Faith in foolish words
Cows now join the heard
A mass of mindless ants
Dead as decadence
Grind this golend crock
And bleat among the flock
Save me
Back,
Back to the country
Back to mother earth
Out near sellafield my nuclear birth
And Save me
Save me
Save me
Stained glass windows keep the cold outside
While the hypocrites hide inside
With the lies of statues in their minds
Where the Christian religion made them blind
Where they hide
And prey to the God of a bitch spelled backwards is dog
Not for one race, one creed, one world
But for money
Effective
Absurd
Do you pray to the Holy Ghost when you suck your host
Do you read who's dead in the Irish Post
Do you give away the cash you can't afford
On bended knees and pray to lord
Fat pig priest
Sanctimonious smiles
He takes the money
You take the lies
This is religion and Jesus Christ
This is religion cheaply priced
This is bibles full of libel
This is sin in eternal hymn
This is what they've done
This is your religion
The apostles were eleven
Now there's a sod in Heaven
This is religion
There's a liar on the altar
The sermon never falter
This is religion
Down in the dark
Tell us a story
From the room below
You are an Ostrich
Bury your head
Personal Austwich
Fermenting in bed
Empty promises help to forget
No more No more
Repair the damages you made
Amen, Amen, Amen,
Empty promises help to forget
No more, no more
This could be heaven
Shallow spreads of ordered lawns
I like the illusion, illusion of privacy
The careful trees blending so perfectly
Bland planned idle luxury
Life in lovely allotted slots
A token nice, a nice constitution
A layered mass of subtle props
This could be heaven
Mild mannered mews
Well intentioned rules to dignify a daily code
Lawful order standard views
Dead dreams
Dead dreams flying flags
Flapping into the breeze
Wave your coloured rags
Hard times
Were they never any better
Maybe never ever
The slogan will take you like lemmings to the cliff
You'll feel better than ever
And into the abyss
Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
Hard times
Were they never any better
Every crack every crevice will be sanitised
There'll be no more war
There'll be no more choice
And those not behind you
Should go live elsewhere
Spies everywhere
You put the poison in the air
Hard times
Were they never any better
The words cry for help
But the music says no
Every sentence a siege of national pride
Hard times
Were they never any better, maybe
And i
I won't answer the call
I don't like khaki
I won't wear your uniform
There'll be no more war
There'll be no more choice
There'll be no more war
There'll be no more choice
Hard times
Alla
Alla
Doom sits in gloom in his room
Destroy the infidel
In a mosque
In a ghost
Is a sword
Is a Saracen
Alla
Joan of Arc was a sorcerer
The trilogy the desert sand
Scriptures in the tower of Babble
Alla
Only ending is easy
Burn
Burn
Burn
In the tower
Only ending is easy
Alla
Arise in the east
The trilogy
Alla
Alla
I take heed
Arise in the West
Closed mouth catches no flies
Burning bridges as you're crossing is not very wise
When analysed
Be tongue-tied
Play snakes and ladders
But not suicide
Like casting pearl before swine
Talking to you is a waste of time
You burned the bridges you've been crossing
Go crawl back into your dustbin
Crawl back in your own dustbin
From you expect this lack of respect
To be sly
Not one of a kind
Pretty picture
Bad frame of mind
Like casting pearl before swine
Talking to you is a waste of time
You burned the bridges you've been crossing
Go crawl back into your dustbin
Go crawl back into your dustbin
Go crawl back into your dustbin
Go crawl back into your dustbin
Go crawl
I've learned caution
This comes from wisdom
These altitudes
These dizzying heights
These bottomless pits
These sweet delights
Like me
You are unlike me
Like me
You are unlike me
Go crawl
Back in
Your dustbin
Talking to you is a waste of time
You burned the bridges you've been crossing
Under surveillance
Sweet subservience
I think you're stupid
But you're worth the mention
People who need people
Are the stupidest of people
Go crawl back into your dustbin
Go crawl back into your dustbin
Go crawl back into your dustbin
With the fly in my eye
It didn't take long
To realise
The desert sun
Might be good for some
Oh no, but not fot i
Fat chance hotel (2x)
I get bored in the brain
Ou there
Doing nothing at all
Some useless holiday
This turned out to be
The dinner gave me
The splattery botty
Fat chance hotel (2x)
Burning
All day long
I, i don't belong
Itching in frustration
This is not my ideal vacation
Senseless reasoning
You believe what you want to believe
Farewell my fairwheater friend
On you no one can depend
Bad times
Now they must end
Whatever you want it to be
For you that's what it will be
Honesty to you is arbitrary
Logic is lost in your
Cranial abattoir
Shallow
Empty inside
Sly witted
Full of snide
Bad times
Now they must end
The shutter-speed of your thinking process
Is small
Too small
Too full of pride
Bad times
Now they must end
Farewell my fairwheater friend
Bad times
Now they must end
Farewell my fairwheater friend
Farewell my fairwheater friend
Bad times
Now they must end
You used to be nice
Now you're twice as nice
You used to be good
Now you're too good
Farewell my fairwheater friend
Bad times
They must end
On you no once can depend
Farewell my fairweather friend
Logic is lost in your cranial abbatoir
Shallow
Empty inside
Sly-witted
Full of snide
The shutter-speed of your thinking process
Is small
Too small
Too full of pride
Lost in a storm
Voice moaning in a speaker
Never really get too close
Only a gimmick, pointed fingers
Never more serious sight
Wouldn't waste the effort on entertainment
Out of control, mob running wild
All you ever get is all you steal
Side of London that the tourists never see
Angle ambience
Chant
Don't know why I bother
There's nothing in it for me
The more I see the less I get
The likes of you and me are an embarrassment
Chant
It's not important
It's not worth a mention in the Guardian
Every librarian has its theory
Chant chant angle ambience
Chant
Voice moaning in a speaker
Now pay no heed
Don't care for you
These things in ease
These things in ease
These things in ease
You can generalise
Very easily
These things in ease
These things in ease
These things in ease
Walk and talk
Dysentery
These things in ease
These things in ease
These things in ease
Susan and Norman
You're so normal
Susan and Norman
You're so normal
Procreation
Have a nice day
These things in ease
These things in ease
These things in ease
What makes you happy
Your misery
These things in ease
These things in ease
These things in ease
Susan and Norman
You're so normal

A face is raining
Across the border
The pride of history
The same as murder
Is this living
He's been careering
The steady hand as planned
Behind the reasoning
No claim for property
Both sides of the river
There is bacteria
Is this living
He's been careering
Trigger machinery
Mangle the military
No one should be there
Is this living
Blown into breeze
Scatter concrete
The jagged metal bad life
Manufactured
He's been careering
Is this living
A face is raining
Across the border
The pride of history
The same as murder
Is this living
Careering
There must be meaning
Behind the moaning
Spreading tales
Like coffin nails
Is this living
He's been careering
It's raining
I need to hide
Trigger machinery
I've been careering
Across the border
Is this living
Both sides of the river
There is bacteria
Armored machinery
Mangled
I can see
I can see when our hands are tied
I was a victim when you lied
Attack
AttackAttackAttackAttack
I was a victim of your pride
I will survive
AttackAttackAttackAttack
You who smile back legislated
You who made me stupid hatred
AttackAttackAttackAttack
You who made me ignorant
You will face the consequence

You who sits on golden arses
Tinkering your cocktail glasses
You who smiled so politely
You who make us so unsightly
You who used your money taking

You who tax and persecute
You who guarded all the loot
Attack

All our deals confiscated
Legaling with magistrate

You who buried me alive

Black rubber bag...
Sun burns in a perfect day
Now smell the air of this perfect sky
Silent sweet
A precious place
Desirable shade
Beneath the pinion pine
Drawn by the beauty
Of my own terror
Close to the edge
Swallow the void
Vultures fly
The Arizona sky
These tell-tales signs
Bloated body like a TV dinner
Let the death move in
And let the feast begin
Flock of flowers
Desert developes fever-blister
After the rain
Black rubber bag...
Flock of flowers
Desrt develops fever-blister
After the rain
Nearly ten thirty, I'm rising early
I've got an eye to buy the best
Before the rush
Someone left a baby in the car park
Never any reason
Don't you listen
One more sob story
Someone is calling
Seen through the window
Calling through mirrors
Don't you listen, don't interfere
Ignore it and it will go away
Someone is calling
Don't you listen, don't you listen
Someone is calling
This is not a love song (x7)
Happy to have, not to have not
Big business is very wise
I'm crossing over into
E-enter-prize
Love song (x4)
I'm going over to the other side
I'm happy to have not to have not
Big business is very wise
I'm inside free enterprise
I'm adaptable (x2)
I'm adaptable and I like my new role
I'm getting better and better
And I have a new goal
I'm changing my ways where money applies
This is not a love song (x5)
Now are you ready to grab the candle
That tunnel vision - not television
Behind the curtain - out of the cupboard
You take the first train - into the big world
Now will I find you - now will you be there
Not a love song (echo)
Not a love song
Not a love song ...
(Allan Dias/Duane Edmonds/John Lydon/John McGeoch/Bruce Smith)
When you run about-without precautions
You get dieseases-need abortions
And up till now-no vaccination
Can give you back your reputation
CHORUS
We want-we want your body
We want-we want your body
We want-we want your body
We want-we want your body
We want-we want your body
We want-we want your body
We want-we want your body
Cahty go home-without your daughter
In a welfare state-she'll be well looked after
And it's easy now-this other person
Is off your back-Not a burden
CHORUS
Body!
When you run about-without precautions
You'll get diseases-need abortions
And up till now-no vaccination
Can give you back your reputation

Don' like the look of this old town
What goes up must come down
Character is lost and found
On unfamiliar playing ground
Get out of my world
What in the world
Shoeboxed around the rifle range
Have all your functions rearranged
Your mind and body gagged and bound
On a new familiar playing ground
The ordinary will ignore
Whatever they canot explain
As if--nothing ever happened
And everything remained the same again
What in the world (3)
Get out of my world (3)
Get up, get out, get out of my world (repeat)
Open your mouth now
Secret signs and knowing looks
These sunny days will cook the books
Happy to take the misery
This mortal life can bring to me
Don't like the look of this old town
What goes up must come down
Character is lost and found
On unfamiliar playing ground
What in the world (3)
What in, get out, get out, get out of my worlkld
What in the world
Palaces, barricades, threats meet promises
Stained glass windows keep the cold outside
While the hypocrites hide inside
With the lies of statues in their minds
Where the Christian religion made them blind
Where they hide
And prey to the God of a bitch spelled backwards is dog
Not for one race, one creed, one world
But for money
Effective
Absurd
Do you pray to the Holy Ghost when you suck your host
Do you read who's dead in the Irish Post
Do you give away the cash you can't afford
On bended knees and pray to lord
Fat pig priest

You make me feel ashamed
At acting attitudes
Remember ridicule
It should be clear by now
clear by now
Your words are useless
Full of excuses
False confidence
Someone has used you well
Used you well
I could be wrong
It could be hate
As far as I can see
Clinging desperately
Imagining pretending
No personality
Dragging on and on and on and on
And on and on and on and on
I think you're slightly late
Slightly late
This person's had enough of useless memories
Always remember
Twisted amenities
Could be wrong
This person's had enough
Of useless memories
Always remember
Twisted amenities
Out of order
Out of order
It could be worse
You're losing all the time
I could be wrong
Could be worse
You're losing all the time
I let you stay too long
I could be wrong
Could be wrong
Whatever pass
Could never last
All in your mind
Where it all began
You're doing wrong
It's not the movies
And you're old
I could be wrong I could be right
could be wrong
I could be wrong I could be right
I could be black I could be white
I could be right I could be wrong
I could be white I could be black
Your time has come your secong skin
The cost so high the gain so low
Walk through the valley
The written word is a lie
May the road rise with you
May the road rise with you
May the road rise with you
May the road rise with you
Could be wrong I could be right
Could be wrong I could be right
I could be wrong I could be right
I could be black I could be white
I could be right I could be wrong
I could be black I could be white
They put a hot wire to my head
cos of the thing I did and said
And made these feelings go away
Model citizen in every way
May the road rise with you
May the road rise with you
May the road rise with you
May the road rise with you
Anger is an energy
Anger is an energy
Anger is an energy
Anger is an energy
May the road rise with you

I could be black I could be white
Your time has come your second skin
The cost so high the gain so low
Walk through the valley
The written word is a lie
May the road rise with you
May the road rise with you
May the road rise with you
May the road rise with you
Could be wrong I could be right
Could be wrong
They put a hot wire to my head
Cos of the things I did and said
They made these feelings go away
A model citizen in every way
Your time has come your second skin
The cost so high the gain so low
May the road rise with you (Hey)
May the road rise with you
May the road rise with you
May the road rise with you

Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello.
Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha.
You never listen to word that I said
You only seen me
For the clothes that I wear
Or did the intrest go so much deeper
It must have been
The colour of my hair.
Public Image.
What you wanted was never made clear
Behind the image was ignorance and fear
You hide behind his public machine
Still follow the same old scheme.
Public Image.
Two sides to evrey story
Somebody had to stop me
I'm not the same as when I began
I will not be treated as property.
Public Image.
Two sides to evrey story
Somebody had to stop me
I'm not the same as when I began
It's not a game of Monopoly.
Public Image.
Public Image you got what you wanted
The Public Image belongs to me
It's my entrance
My own creation
My grand finale
My goodbye
Public Image.
Public Image.
Goodbye.
strange growling/roaring noise at the end.
(John Lydon, Bill Levene)
Now in the summer
I could be happy or in distress
Depending on the company
On the veranda
Talk of the future or reminisce
Behind the dialogue
We're in a mess
Whatever I intended
I sent you flowers
You wanted chocolates instead
The flowers of romance
The flowers of romance
I've got binoculars
On top of boxhill
I could be Nero
Fly the eagle
Start all over again
I can't depend onthese so-called friends
It's a pity you need to bend
I'll take the furniture
Hello
Hello
Where are you
Where are you
Where are you
Where are you
Where are you
So now you keep your distance
Double on the nuisance
Avoid the situation
Avoid your occupation
Hardly surprising
Too busy socialising
Where are you
Where are you
Where are you
Where are you
You're never here when you're needed
Nothing ever heeded
The lying and the faking
The lying and the waiting
It's hardly surprising
Too busy socialising
The lying and pretending
But you don't even try
Where are you
Where are you
Where are you
Where are you
A car without an engine
A plane without a pilot
It's hardly surprising
Too busy socialising
The lying and the faking
Fake
Fake
Fake
Where are you
Where are you now
Where are you
Where are you
Where are you
Round and around
Around, around, round, round
Round and around
Around, around, round, round
Round and around
Around, around, round, round
Well of course
We've always had it in us
For a million years
Sleeping halitosis
Deaf ears provide
Perfect pure protection
Round and around
Around, around, round, round
Mushrooms on the horizon
Mushrooms on the horizon
You seem to say to say
Nothing can be something
Ignorance now
Dominates the season
Cruel fool
Idiot and spastic
Dutch courage
Talking like an ashtray
Round and around
Around, around, round, round
Mushrooms on the horizon
Mushrooms on the horizon
How many of you have seen a factory
As the boss held high
And the children die
Don't lecture here
Don't spit on my life
Round and around
Around, around, round, round
Mushrooms on the horizon
Mushrooms on the horizon
Round and around
Trials and tribulations
When I was born the doctor didn't like me
He grabbed my ankles, held me like a turkey
Dear mummy, why'd you let him hit me?
This was wrong, I knew you didn't love me
There is selection, many shapes and sizes
Variety, fondling surprises
The syllables trigger happy opposites
Encountering those devious devices
Satisfying all that you are craving
Considering life is now worth saving
Tie me to the length of that
Tie me to the length of that
Tie me to the length of that
Tie me to the length of that
Tie me to the length of that
You'll be sorry, you don't love me
Something is happening to my body
Nature is those little bits and pieces
Tie me to the length of that
Tie me to the length of that
Tie me to the length of that
When I was born the doctor didn't like me
He grabbed my ankles, held me like a turkey
Dear mummy, why'd you let him hit me?
This was wrong, I knew you didn't love me
I keep these feelings deep inside my body
It's not the union both of us expected
Remember daddy, when you made him hold me
Safe in his arms then the bastard dropped me
Ooh, ahh
Pretty, pretty baby
Pretty baby
Baby, baby, boo, hoo
Tie me to the length of that
Tie me to the length of that
Considering life is now worth saving
Stupid drunk
You'll be sorry, you don't love me
Ooh, ahh
Pretty, pretty baby
Pretty baby
Baby, baby
Ooh, ah
What a lovely, little baby
There is selection, many shapes and sizes
Variety, fondling surprises
The syllables trigger happy opposites
Encountering those devious devices
Satisfying all that you are craving
Considering life is now worth saving
Tie me to the length of that
Tie me to the length of that
Tie me to the length of that
It is your character
Deep in your nature
Take one example
Sample and hold
Romance and replace
The lack in yourself
It's your nature
It's your nature
We see you climbing
Improving the effort
Wearing my suit
It is your character
There is a limit
Over your shoulder
Everyone loves you
Until they know you
Perfume aerosols
May champion the strangers
Nick
Standing around
All the right people
Crawling
Tennis on Tuesday
The ladder is long
It is your nature
You've gotta suntan
Football on Sunday
Society boy
On Social Security
It is your nature
Tennis on Tuesday
Sipping champagne
Football on Sunday
Home on the train
It is your nature
Girl from Totteridge Park
Said you were nice
So was my suit
I think you need me now.
I'm from chapter to chapter.
I'll never let go.
I have an appetite.
Follow the rules of life.
Never the same thing twice.
(repeat)
Admire the scenery.
It's where I left it last.
This room now has a view.
It's nearly night at last.
The ceiling seal of ice.
The walls and windows have your eyes.
Almost a honeymoon.
I feel clean inside.
This body beautiful. (x4)

I'm safe inside this body, body beautiful.
This body beautiful.

This is what you want.

Night light.
Windows.
Waiting.
Weakness.
Waiting.
Silent.
Payment.
Guilty.
Haunting.
Calling.
Claiming.
Here now.
Ending.
One life.
Seeing in your eyes
Words can never say the way
Told me in your eyes
Final in a fade
Never no more hope away
Final in a fade
Seeing in your eyes
Seeing in your eyes
Never really know
Never realize
Silence in your eyes
Silence in your eyes
Never really know
Til its gone away
Never realize
The silence in your eyes
Seen it in your eyes
Seen it in your eyes
Never no more hope away
Final in a fade
Watch her slowly die
Saw it in her eyes
Choking on a bed
Flowers rotting dead
seen it in her eyes
Ending in a day
Silence was a way
Seeing in yoru eyes
Seeing in your eyes
Seeing in your eyes
I'm seeing through my eyes
Words cannot express
Words cannot express
Think you know the answer?
Think you got all the problems?
Well, why not try and solve them?
Instead of your sitting on them.
Solitaire. (x2)
Taking on new projects.
Steadily slipping sideways.
Close your ears to reason.
Your very valued opinion.
Solitaire. (x2)
Nothing is getting you nowhere.
Never meaning what you're saying.
Well, now I need a decision.
(missing lyrics for this line)
Solitaire. (x2)
The slightest seems to explode you.
Well, the whole world will implode you.
Solitaire for the lonely fly.
You're not the only one.
Solitaire. Lonely fly.
(missing lyrics for the background lines)
Solitaire. (x2)
Solitaire, for the lonely fly.
Think you know the answer?
Think you got all the problems?
Well, why not try and solve them?
Instead of your sitting on them.

Steadily slipping sideways.
Close your ears to reason.
Your very valued opinion.
Now, nothing is getting you nowhere.
Never meaning what you're saying.
Well, now I need a decision.

Drive to the forest in a japanese car
The smell of rubber on concrete tar
Hindsight done me no good
Standing naked in the back of the woods
The cassette played poptones
I can't forget the impression you made
You left a hole in the back of my head
I don't like hiding in this foliage and peat
It's wet and I'm losing my body heat
The cassette played poptones
This bleeding heart
Looking for bodies
Nearly injured my pride
Praise picnicking in the British countryside
Left

Don't look back
Take second best
Number one protect
Self interest
Here every day is a Monday, Monday
Left, right
Left, right
Left, right, left, right
Get it up, get the right armour
Don't look back
Look after your health
Good days ahead
Don't listen to the red refugees
Aliens
Go back, go back
Go back, go back
Extreme right
The face is white
Left foot, right foot
Keep the shoulders up
Column eighty eight
The master plan
Uber alles
The Klu Klux Klan
Improvements on the domestic front
Have a cup of tea
Good days ahead
Don't ever look back
Good days ahead
Don't ever look back
Good days ahead
Don't ever look back
Good days ahead
Don't ever look back
Good days ahead

Don't ever look back
Good days ahead
Don't wanna go near there

Don't they realise that love makes the world go rooond
Realise that love makes the world go rooond
Don't they realise that love makes the world go rooond

Fucking hell thirsty work in'it being famous
This traffic's dragging on
Do you think it'll ever end
What did you think of that engineer looking through the glass window
I think he looks rather suspicious
He looks very suspicious to me
Very dubious to me with that long hair
They don't realise that love makes the world go round
We only wanted to be loved

I will show the frustration with our society
by picking up that fire extinguisher and spraying it into the mic.
We only wanted to be loved
We only wanted to be loved
It's blue
Oh no
We only wanted to be loved
Go on John tickle the old Joanna
Disappointed
Never more
Got so low they had to use
the jaws of life
To yank me up from under the floor
Thrilled to be here
Thank you much
It's strange when nothing gets to taste so satisfying
That you don't mind the rot gut
So me and my sugar we're on a roadtrip
From Bostone to Philly and I don't know maybe St. Louis
Got a patch
From my therapist
Sha's got a heart like a yacht
But she's all screwed up, she's a pugilist
Sorrry Bobby, miss ya Jack
But if I could choose I'd ask to have
Dr. Martin Luther King back
So me and my sugar we're on a roadtrip
From D.C. to Dallas and I don't know maybe Memphis
So when this ship eventually sinks
That'll be alright
Got a friend
In a cracked house
That sits around all day wonderin' who and when
Shot the lights out
But some things won't be explained
Like the cabby that fell asleep in Hoboken
And woke up Shirley MacLaine
So me and my sugar we're on a roadtrip
From Hollywood to the East village and I don't know maybe midland Texas
So when this ship eventually sinks
When this ship finally sinks
When all this shit don't mean a thing
Hello
What do you want
You're irritating
Go away
Its not my fault
That you're lonely
Just look around
I think you'll find that
Everyone has the same problem
This is not a real home
The walls are so thin
The neighbours listen in
Keep the noise down
They're complaining
Humiliated
You were born and bred
Humble to the spoon fed
Why worry now
You're not dead yet
You've got a whole lifetime to correct it
You're wasting
Admiring hating
This lot are not happy heroes
Just better actors
A hundred and one dilations
And fifty seven varieties
Outside with the empties
Keep banging the door
Keep banging the door
Keep banging the door
I won't answer the phone
I won't answer the door
Reptilians
I won't let you in
If he knew we were here
I'm sure he'd let us in
I won't let you in
Alright, stop Nick
This is not a real home
The walls are so thin
The neighbours listen in
Keep the noise down
They're complaining
I won't let you in
If he knew we were here
I'm sure he'd let us in
I won't let you in
I won't let you in
Won't let you in
If he knew we were here
I'm sure he'd let us in
I won't let you in
If he knew we were here
I'm sure he'd let us in
Keep banging the door
Keep banging the door
Keep banging the door
I won't answer the phone
I won't answer the door
Call me up after midnight.
Tell me I'm wrong, tell me I'm right.
What do you want, what do I get?
Did you just need the argument?
Well, bad life.
Cockroach city, lucky for some.
Richest island in the sun.
That's life.
Name of the game, it's competition.
Top of the pile, net demolition.
This is what you want.
This is what you get.
Bad, bad, bad, bad, bad life.
Bad life.
Now, this machine is on the move.
Now, looking out for number one.
The open road and getting gasoline.
Well, bad life. Bad, bad, bad life.
(missing lyrics for this line)
Well, that's life! (Well, that's life.)
Call me up after midnight.
Tell me I'm wrong, tell me I'm right.
What do you want, what do I get?

Think I'm proud to be your enemy
Take your hands off of me
You're worse than the thing that possessed me
They way they were
The way they should have been
Annalisa
Annalisa was 15 years
Stole her soul
But I hear no tears
Ever been alone
And heard the voice
Not your own
I've seen those fears
Annalisa
Somehow you used ignorance for sense
Melodrama in your eyes
All concern rests with the dead
Annalisa
Annalisa had no escape
Starved to death in a waiting room
Cheap concern and rosary beads
Did not solve screaming needs
Annalisa
Annalisa
Annalisa was 15 years
Stole her soul
But I hear no tears
Ever been alone
And heard the voice
Not your own
I've seen those fears
Annalisa
Annalisa
Think I'm proud to be your enemy
Take your hands off of me
You're worse than the thing that possessed me
They way they were
The way they should have been

Somehow you used ignorance for sense
Melodrama in your eyes
All concern rests with the dead
Annalisa
Annalisa
Annalisa
Crawl like rabid dog
Your savage mind
Has made you deaf dumb blind
Your savage heart is tearing you apart
You, you make me angry
You, you make me angry
You're lost in the crowd
Wearing numbers like a shroud
You are a coward we watch you conform
An what you're wearing
Is just another
Like any other uniform
You are fashionable
Like any other trend
You follow on
Pose
Pretend
You, you are not your own person
You, took a tactical diversion
Why, not try and be yourself
No individual
Self made perfect creation
And all of the clones
That have impressed you
Have turned you up and out and into a court jester
No excuse you are no use
I could be desperate
I think I'm brave
Could stay and watch you
(repeat)
You gave me nothing
An early grave
I'm vegetating I want more, more, more
I want everything in 1981
Anywhere
Any place will do
I'm leaving England
We're near the ending
You gave me nothing
No more pretending
I'm looking forward
To our parting in 1981
1981
We're near the ending
I'm just pretending
It's all been said before
I want more, more, more in 1981
1981
1981
You gave me nothing
I want more, more, more
I want everything in 1981
I'm leaving England
We're near the ending
You gave me nothing
No more pretending
1981 (repeat)
I want everything in 1981
1981 (repeat)
