Mary Whitehouse spouts bout this and that and all the ins and outs
David Ike is right does he need to give his life to prove that he is right
Do you understand what it's like to be a laughing stock in life
Do you understand what it's like or who you are
Eccentric billionaire he doesn't care he'll give it all away
Then there's the mother like the woman in
Butterflies who ties herself up and dies
We won't wait or hesitate to criticise
And never in a million billion years
Will we understand their minds
Do you understand what it's like to give away your life
And do you understand what it's like to be a lost cause
Like a butterfly we've a very short life
Lighted cigarettes will burn out in time
Like a rainforest but not metaphoric
In fact like a piss in the Atlantic
You don't know anything and you don't know what's happening
And chocolate is like everything there's no you and me
That's why I'm all at sea
And everyone came along everyone singing songs
Everyone drank some more and everyone giggled at the bore
That amount of hindsite makes me blind
What's more and I like watching you sleep
I never knew anyone quite like you I'd like to be
And I know more than this fishing is more for you
And there you lie next to me I'd love to know what you dream
I love to listen to you breathe I hope you don't watch me
Because I'd never sleep
It's all become polarised look at the sky to tell time
To idolise through idol eyes well I'm not getting it
He bought you flowers and I bought you drink
You can't drink flowers but flowers can drink
It's a hunger in me I never knew anyone was anything that
Any anyone else you see and it's like that key ring
Living is more that life we're alive alive
And there you lie next to me I'd love to know what you dream
I love to listen to you breathe I hope you don't watch me
Because I'd never sleep
He bought you flowers and I bought you drink
You can't drink flowers but flowers can drink
And he bought you flowers and I bought you drink
You can't drink flowers but flowers can drink
And he bought you flowers and I bought you drink
A wallflower living in a guntower
He's whistling the Brandenburg Concerto thing
Because he can be Sam collapsing and hysterical
And I laugh at the world it's hysterical
And I love the way it turns
He's a going under living out Blue Thunder
Bite the ankles of greed and kicked in the teeth
But if you don't bite the hand that feeds
That hand would own your soul and you dreams
Like it owns everything
And I love the world it's hysterical
And I love the way that it turns
Most things are more certain in this world
You can buy Sam and you can buy me you can't buy
Everything you can buy a washing machine
You can even buy me and you can take away the war
And the Brandenburg Concerto
Still whistles on the breeze you can buy a
Video you can buy Sam's jeans it's as if all I
Had known was in fact a cancer that had
Grown into an exotic dancer never a wish
Or a battered eye like a dirty old sod
Makes a pass out of a smile the tentative booms that are
Propped up and cocked up and speaking double Dutch
And seeming strangely shell shocked
And I love the world it's hysterical
And I love the way that it turns
And most things are more certain
You with the sad eyes
Don't be discouraged
Oh I realize
It's hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
And the darkness inside you
Can make you feel so small
But I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow
Show me a smile then,
Don't be unhappy, can't remember
When I last saw you laughing
If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I'll be there
And I'll see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Super furry dromedary and eyes the colour of a dark red sky
And the weekend should not depend on the weatherman's weather eye
This is the gilt edge of the wedge an average grey story
Of a revolutionary who was boring too
This is the *spilt milk stench* of a wretch an average cold walk home
Avoiding the sunspots and soundbites like snowstorms
A vision that does not focus on the weird but rare
And their total despair the crack whore culture
Mindful of nothing it's catchy and touchy and where is the wealth
This is the guilt end of the wedge an average grey story
Of the revolutionary who was boring too
This is the *spilt milk stain* of wretch,an average cold walk home
Avoiding the sunspots soundbites like snowstorms
And I hope my camel is able to handle all the treacherous journeys home
And I've smelled your sandals and my camels
And yours are truly second to none
This is the guilt end of the wedge an average grey story
Of a revolutionary who was boring too
This is the spilt milk smell of wretch an average cold walk home
We were born to this century, to a world we've never seen
Our clothes are stained with misery, has every dog had it's say?
I've got to smile, I'm in a free and pleasant land
Money grows off the backs of young and old
Chained to a wall in a toyland, they toil and toil and toil
While we just watch and we abhor
There's lot's of money to be made when man walks over man in the game
When you walk into a room the hours were haunting you
It's all the same to me when you can do nothing
And it always seems that I can do no better
And it always is that it's always
And your feelings as if it's your world
You wanted everything you ever saw
There's more and your doing no right
That I can see that I can see that I can see
You wanted everything you ever saw
Then you went and find the door to some delight for pain
But I can say for sure that I can do nothing
It always seems there's other ways and your feelings
As if it's your world you wanted everything you ever saw
It is more cause your doing alright
That I can see that I can see that I can see
You wanted everything you ever saw
To the way you went away you found another place
A place where you can dance listen it's off *my friend*
There's nothing I can do then you found another place
The place where you can dance listen it's *all of my friends*
You'd let em do that and your feelings as if it's your world
You wanted everything you ever saw it is more then your doing alright
That I can see that I can see that I can see
You wanted everything you ever saw then more and your doing alright
That I can see that I can see that I can see
If the length of this song is my life then I wanna live it
I wanna lie in the sun one more time and not hide in all I have
And squander good times I want to be in the longest day of all time
To see what I find to see what I find
I'll never leave you and I can't imagine life not knowing you
All that time that I spent searching do you know what I mean
The first photograph of you that's the one
Where I couldn't make you out and now look at you
The first time that you laughed I could have cried
Laugh at me any time
I'm near you and I need you more than you'll ever do
And I'm near you
You have a small yellow chair and don't seem to care
That people can be mean and you know what I mean
Everyday you are teaching me things
I must have done something so right it would seem
So right it would seem
That you are everything that I should be
Everything that I need in my life and I will die another time
Speak now or forever hold your frown
Jesus you were frowning before I was born
And you don't have to say a word chaffing in your cocoon
Well I want to know what's inside you
False face you won't be remembered as anything else
It's a bare place and you're more than skin deep
Beauty is poetry poetry is lonely simplicity it is beauty
Beauty is more than skin deep
The tragedy of the tragic is they can never be majestic
No indeed show me something that I can see
And show yourself something that resembles self resembles self
Skin deep beauty is poetry poetry is lonely simplicity is beauty
Beauty is more than skin deep and you don't have to say a word
Well I want to know what's inside you and you don't have to say a word
And show me something I can see well you don't have to say a word
Discourse like a machine gun I'm hunting rabbits for their tails
Not lying or pretending just counting circles with square eyes
And everything you ever said is everything gone wrong tonight
And everything you ever said is everything gone wrong
Mood lighting won't fix it even rabid dogs have their day
I'm not lying be deceiving I'm hunting rabbits for their tails
And everything you ever said is everything gone wrong tonight
And everything you ever said is everything gone wrong tonight
And everything you ever said is everything gone wrong tonight
And everything you ever said is everything gone wrong tonight
They go walking in the rain
They go dancing every single day
Another blackboard drawing is wiped away
And they like you and I like you
They like the words hey they like the songs
The songs that should be for everyone
They like the words
Hey and they like you and they like you
And they go waltzing in the rain
They're artexing every single day
They watch long shore drifting sand away
They like the words and they they like the songs
The songs that should be for everyone
They like the words
Hey and they like you and I like you
A paper plane flies flies away
A toy train passes by again and again
I feel lashing rain and I like I like you
They like the words they they like the songs
The songs that should be for everyone
They like the words
They and they like you and they like you
They like you they like you they like you
I'd like to sweep away the lies I could shake from you if I
tried
I'd believe your mouth but you forgot to tell your eyes
I didn't think I'd see you hanging around
You must have nothing to do
I'm sick - I love to watch you squirm, trying to hide the truth
Win some, lose some
I'd like to hire a famous painter to creosote your mouth
Throw a few devious questions about
To see if you got out of that or got out
It's the same lines you expect me to swallow
Well there is no need to hide the fact
Win some, lose some -
I've lost too much to let you sit back and relax
Million little faces staring at you
Put your hands in your pockets pull out a coin or two
Get back to the job of the day
Which is all about winning you're gonna lose anyway
Winning I'm winning winning I ****** I'm winning I'm winning
There's a thing and it's called thief
And they're mistaken in their belief
That possession is everything and I'm going to win
And there's the friendly old state police
Who's job it is to keep the peace
And I don't know how they're gonna do it
They talk about winning they're gonna break it
Winning I'm winning now I've ****** I'm winning I'm winning
And sometimes there's a choice to make
And you you can stand next to but you never stand by
And you choose who we'll be friends to and expect me by your side
Then I smile at those you don't want me to and I'll fight you if I like
I won't laugh if I don't want to and I don't have to tell you why
I I hear the sound of what's getting you down it's the same
Sound as when a mermaid drowns and I hear the sound I can hear it
There's nothing like tea after a wing ding to make you feel alive
I've seen all of you that I want to big part of my life
Now I want to smile a while and I want to see a lion
And I want to wait a while then I want to see it all it all
And then I hear the sound of an autocratic church
Of a different God crash down I can hear the sound
It's when a mermaid drowns and I heal her
And I want to smile a while and I want to see a lion
And I want to wait a while and I want to see it all
Like tea after a wing ding to make you feel alive
And I've seen all that I want of you big part of my life
And I and I hear the sound of what's getting you down
It's the same sound as when mermaids drown
I hear the sound of an autocratic church
Of a different God crash down I hear the sound
I'm a warmblooded stereotype with built in faults that are brithright
And be brash bold beautiful be clean and cold clear cold and uptight
Wax lyrical satirical wax lyrical
And open your mouth to move your feet
And open your heart if it is for surgery
And open your mouth to move your feet
And open your heart if it is for surgery
You open your mouth to move your feet
You open your heart if it's for surgery if it's for surgery
And I would bemoan rather than be phoned
And I'm as happy here as I would be over there
Like my hair is beyond repair you can look you can look just don't stare
Wax lyrical satirical wax lyrical
And open your mouth and there's your feet
And open your heart if it is for surgery
You open your mouth to move your feet
And open your heart if it is for surgery
And open your mouth to move your feet
You open your heart if it's for surgery for surgery
And I'm a warmblooded stereotype with built in faults
Well that are brithright
Wax lyrical hack satirical wax lyrical satirical

I smell the bullshit like trenchfoot on your breath
You're the disease they call 'we're sick to death'
A personal friend of Mr. Sydney James you say
Oh no not now please go away
And we all lived to start a war and I don't understand anymore
And we've all lived in times of war and I don't watch these things anymore
I hear sounds coming forth from your full mouth
I don't believe what's coming out
You're telling me you've done more than any man alive
Jesus Christ how flies thrive
And we all lived in times of war and I don't understand anymore
And we all lived to start a war and I don't watch these things anymore
And we all start a war and I don't understand anymore
And we all lived to start a war I can't watch these things anymore
Nobody listens to a single word you say
Nobody turned up when they heard you were dead
You feared attics cause they were dark
But now you fear Manson fear Marx
And we all lived in times of war and I don't understand anymore
And we all lived to start a war and I can't understand anymore
And we all lived to start a war and I don't understand anymore
Your swastika's and shiny boots are the tools that you use.
How much more stupid can you be, waving your flags in front of me?
We are this land, this land I can't understand.
We are all this land, this land.
We are all face to face. No master race, we've seen it all.
It's all there in black and white, it's not always right that right is right.
I thought it couldn't happen in my time
A psychologist's dream of regressive things
It's flared up again it's flared up again
I don't think they can know what they are doing
It's a curse and you know that it's worse than the first time
We are survivors of that seventies tragedy
Know know know na know We are survivors *before I know* it's beyond belief
You know I've seen some things in my time
But nothing as heinous as your Chinos
They've flared up again they keep your shoes dry in the rain
There's plenty of water on your brain
It's absurd but this is the world this is the world
Then the bastards can't dance but no one seems to care
The the the the the The bastards can't dance and no one seems to care
I thought it couldn't happen in my time
Psychologist's dream of regressive things
Flared up again flared up again and again and again
I don't think they can know what they are doing
And we are survivors of that seventies tragedy
And their designers are beyond belief
The bastards can't dance and no one seems to care
He likes to walk on water and walk on pastures green
Breathe life into your dying daughter, give sight to those who've never seen
Do you believe in righteous causes?
Do you believe in Holy War?
Do you believe in Armageddon?
Do you believe in anything?
It's all sublime, it's all sublime
In this world where we live, I can do no more than this
And in this world where we live, I can do no more
He'd like to live forever and say all there is to say
He'd like to make a million, and give it all away...
Do you believe in ideal causes, direct fate, holy wedlock,
There's a little bit of springtime in the back of my mind
Remembers when there was a time when we danced
And we laughed spent some time drinking wine
And somewhere in there there's a little child without a thought
Without a doubt that every cloud is silver lined
He is warm and everything is new and everything is clean
And everything is free and there were still so many things to see
So many things so many things left to be very small drop in the
Middle of the big sea of high and mighty things
Your fascination for larger than life your brand new appetite
As though we'd invented it and we danced
There's a little bit of springtime in the back of my mind
Remembers things perhaps as they should have been
Rather than the lies rather that the cruelty
That sometimes we were guilty of as everybody knows
We were only young and really couldn't have known
We were very young and though it's nice to know there's a place to go
There's still so many things left to see
Little drop in the middle of the big sea of high and mighty things
Your fascination for larger than life your brand new appetite
And there's springtime in my mind and I'd rather be alive
As though we'd invented it and we danced
It could have been the longest time and I'll remember it
You won't last for long you won't see the setting sun
And its alright for me to be what you want to be
You will be my brother you will be the one and you will be the setting sun
Do it all do it well cause you live here
Do it all do it well cause you live
Do it all do it well cause you live in hell
And do it all do it well cause you live here
Well I don't want to sell I'll leave it to another day
Cause it's alright for me to sing about my country
And you won't last for long you will see the setting sun
Then it's alright for me to be what I want to be
You will by my brother then you will be the one and you will be the setting sun
Do it all do it well cause you live here
Do it all do it well cause you live
Do it all do it well cause you live in here
Do it all do it well cause you living
Then we all lived to war we all lived to war
We are living sons we are living sons
And we all speak in tongues we all speak in tongues
We all speak in tongues and we all we all
You don't want to sing that tune we all want another one we all we all
In here with me that's where you want me to *play*
I'm hiding high no fear I won't cry
And Heaven sent head in descent here
A hell of a state and I'm in it I'm in it
I want a life well I won't say goodbye
And I will hold me down hold me down
In here with me I don't see
I want heresy in here I die I can die any day now
Days and days days and days
It's an un-English state days and days
Of sour grapes sour grapes *counting* days and days
You're wearing that wearing that bland old hat
And your boxer shorts they are your most inner thoughts
A thousand miles of old headlines memories of her
That flowerhead sour grape
That un-English state means you do
Like to wait violent and Disney-like
Days and days days and days an un-English state
Days and days and days and days of sour grapes
Of sour grapes days and a thousand miles of old headlines
Memories of her days before days before *never and* days and days
Days and days days and days of sour grapes un-English state
And days and days of sour grapes of sour grapes days and days
And throw the fishermen lines close the shipyards and mines
Leaving only the water we still have old wives tales
About the old days deep lonely waters the old days
The old days deep lonely waters the old days
We climb hills all the time the riddles in our minds
And this I don't mind but the hills in our minds
Can not be measured in miles and it's 'Catcher In The Rye'
Feed the fishermen lies beat a bibliophile
It's an even colder climate there was rhythm and rhyme
The rhythm dies but the rhyme is alive
Rhyme is alive rhyme is alive
The rhyme is alive rhyme is alive rhyme's alive
Play real life monopoly it has real people real lives
That game for unarming the family of young and old
Now getting caught cold the small and wry smurf that says
As he'll vote he's saying it's we have sin are you in
We'll have to fight for them again soon and it's the deluxe game
With *morality clean* they own the water the whole company
They own they own this country the whole fucking thing
Throw the fishermen *lines* close the shipyards and mines
Leaving only the water we'll still have old wives tales
About the old days deep lonely waters the old days
The old days deep lonely waters the old days
Come sail your ships around me
And burn your bridges down
We make a little history, baby
Every time you come around
Come loose your dogs upon me
And let your hair hang down
You are a little mystery to me
Every time you come around
We talk about it all night long
We define our moral ground
But when I crawl into your arms
Everything comes tumbling down
Come sail your ships around me
And burn your bridges down
We make a little history, baby
Every time you come around
Your face has fallen sad now
For you know the time is nigh
When I must remove your wings
And you, you must try to fly
Come sail your ships around me
And burn your bridges down
We make a little history, baby
Every time you come around
Come loose your dogs upon me
And let your hair hang down
You are a little mystery to me
The science of finance we give it to the ministry
And you sell flowers flowers on the street
And your only happiness it is your charity
And your only warmth is communal song
And I have many things I have dreams
And I have many things I have dreams
The maddest and the saddest
In the wickedest underpants and dungerees
You give away your money and you parentage
And all you wished for was security
And all you got was brain damage
And all you've ever known and still you were lonely
And I have many things I have dreams
And I have many things I have dreams
And I have many things I have my place in the scheme of things
And I have many things I have dreams
Show me a saviour and I'll show you one that you've come from
Show me an angel and show me the world that you are from
You're like a salesman your foot in the door
That's what they're for show me a Heaven
After all that's what you're selling
And show me a saviour show me one
Show me a Heaven hasn't everyone
Show me a *world* and everyone show me the *rule*
And I have many things I have dreams
And I have many things I have my place in the scheme of things
Here comes the right Reverend Jack
His fetish is deathly white and pure, like some official English rose
God be by your side, God be in your life
Right Reverend Jack, jack up your life...
While we gulp down the television war, pissing napalm to the masses
Jesus Christ, Jesus wept
A regular guy in regular ways
A gospel fuck in a fucking big truck, a bastard gone gasser
Mr. Circumfuck abound the head
Pissing napalm to my brother Fred while sister messian gives in
A war over North Vietnam, where he likes to play Uncle Sam
He won't be seeing you again
Here comes the warning light, wake up, it's time to fight
Give me some more whiskey not that Colenmorangie
Jacobite blended dregs a gypsy's old bed setter
All of it makes me gag but I think that it's
The 20/20 I put in to stop the brown bag smelling smelling
Have you seen your dog it's a lasserapso
It was on the back seat of that Fiat Uno you stole
It was an injection though that's alright I suppose
But it just won't run on lovely red diesel my friend
Then there's a hole in my head pump up the volume you said
For the love of Christ you're the boss boss end more like
And that near death shite do I believe in a bright light
That red diesel you like
And sometimes I surprise myself I can stand the metal roof
I look out of my window
Someone's drawn tits on my neighbour's back door
That always makes me smile that artist has got some style
Do you know what it's like to take a man's life
To leave somebody lonely cynical and tired of it all wisened and waiting
I need a break I need razor blades and aspirin
They're good guns they are good guns
When Michael hears things hears things no good he will put things right
As Michael rides a bike he kills everything in sight
Bend and break I need razor blades and aspirin
They are good guns they are good guns
They bend and break and they're put out of action
Reaching for razor blades and aspirin
I need a break I need razor blades and aspirin where are the guns
They bend and break they're put out of action
Reaching for razor blades and aspirin
I need a break razor blades and aspirin where is the rope
Don't know why I just can't work it out you just gave it away
Red letters on a mat pile up and what would you say
You rent a house you can't afford but daddy will pay
Tears running down your face it's time you got away
What about my aches and pains which leaves me drained
Tired of being there for you so what would you say
No question you sell you body parts to get your daily fix
Your family and you're so called friends would have to pick up the bits
What about my aches and pains which leaves me drained
Tired of being there for you so what would you say
Everything you do you do to harm by sticking that in your arm
Seeing you face down upon the floor I've got to get out the door
Don't care about anyone but yourself you must be full of hate
I feel I haven't helped that much you have fulfilled your fate
What about my aches and pains which leave me drained
We once made things from steel now we're only stealing past inspirations
You'll never have free reign switching channels for inspiration
When all our strange relations the strange relate
As proud as a punch drunk stealing other peoples old junk
And all he finds is old perverts overcoats
Who were to tall you fat boy bugger all in dirty overalls
Stealing toilet rolls the fucking arseholes
In aardvark tee-shirts in pretty little mini skirts
Long stay wedding plans tonight of all nights
Garlic disasters in the name of creamy pastas
You bastard you dream *of fucking gangsters*
You follow rules of engagement and then I feel it now
You tell me not a derailing
And I need digital TV like I need conjuring trickery
Or assailing and all I demand
As proud as a punch drunk who's stealing other peoples junk
And all he finds is old perverts overcoats
Who were to tall and your fat boy bugger all in dirty overalls
Who's stealing toilet rolls the fucking assholes
In aardvark tee-shirts in your pretty little mini skirts
Long stay wedding plans tonight of all nights
Their life full of pantyhose meets technicolour dreamcoats
A post war product of a fat man's wallet
You would like to invite her but she never goes.
She painted pictures on her walls, had friends to tea.
She liked her room, she could make it warm.
She had a good cause and liked what it was she was fighting for
She was a post war child with a fat man's money and a fat man's smile.
And she sat and you were on her mind
But she'd been sitting there for such a long long time.
Her wedding day would've turned out fine
She would have seen it through the wine
Subjected by Sunday afternoon, she was happy, whistling a wedding tune.
She was a walking, talking grown up postwar child
That day you said you sent a letter to me never got it anyway
Playing that guilt trip game some are wont to do
Now I lie awake with tequila sunrise
Feeling like shit surprise surprise by your lack of impiety
There's really never been a daydream that didn't leave me smiling
And as I get old all I see makes less sense to me
There's really never been a daydream that didn't leave me smiling
There's never been a dream a wet dream left me for him
There's something plastic surgery about this thing called a cd
Something status quo bout a rolled up one pound note
There's something your big false teeth do say
You never brushed them anyway
There's something credit note bout the age that you can vote
That day you said you sent a letter to me
I think I got it but I threw it away
Something squeaky clean oh it makes me
There's really never been a daydream that didn't leave me smiling
And as I get old all I see makes less sense to me
There's really never been a daydream that didn't leave me smiling
I lived here last summer we could smell the drains
While we watched the stinking flies eat what they could find
Well it was all so nice a peasant in paradise
And we will remember this we got burned and never realised
That in my mind I should have realised
I lived here last summer we lived with all that sweat
When all we really wanted was to freeze to fucking death
And all too soon the flowers died it came pissing down with snow
We all went down with the cold if I had flu where did I go
And it was all so nice a peasant in paradise
And we will remember this that we got burned and never realised
That in my mind I should have realised
I lived here last summer it was better than dying cold
While we watched the scorching sun we all went blind and died
It was all so nice a peasant in paradise
Well we will remember this
It was all so nice a peasant in paradise
And we will remember this we got burned never realised
That in my mind I should have realised that we got burned
Well this was such a precious time
And all we ever do is spread more *flies*
Superstition and all the fumes then a little extra time
Tommy guns drive a million miles from all of you
Real be some book it's a good point of view
Then all the sky must spew if I can be good
Then I'd have to shave have rest place
And you can do it in half the time
In half the time it's all in mine it's all in your mind
And you don't need to sacrifice symbol of nothings
(here he turns into a chicken)
That your involved what his marlin sayed
Hideous pleasure hideous pain someone's walking over my grave
But I'm still alive got my spies
Don't get with it don't pull a fake ha
And you can do it in half the time in half the time
Be a friend and kill me I just don't get it
And are you really happy here you aren't really happier
Happier than a dead man oh and are you really happy here
You aren't really happier happier than a dead man
If they don't ra... me
Patrick kills Patrick kills Patrick kills me
Patrick kills Patrick kills
And Patrick is as good in a mine you said
Bob said he may kill him someday real question is
Can he hold his breath laying on his head at the same time
Stones are falling like rain drops I have heard of far much less
In far ** it's far alone dare a cow's own flatulence
Next you for heading down instead mad cow pestilence
If you really need evidence then it's *clark davey*
And are you really happy here aren't really happy then
So what if they're talking
Making up the excuses for the abuses they perform on you
And as I live your child will be born with his brain on top it's tiny head
And as I breathe they're telling you it's to with being inbred
And of course it's not plutonium that cause pandemonium
And everything under the sun must be for everyone
Everyone living under a gun must be someone
And everything under the sun must be for someone
And everyone living under a gun must be
Don't fuck with Pandora's Box or don't make it so obvious
Do as you would be done by do as you would be don't buy it
Do as you would be done by do as you would be but don't buy it
And as I live and breathe this great bug fucking thing
Hanging over my head I think
And you talk outspoken forthright political and erudite
Pub politic with all it's drunken hindsight that never achieved anything
And everything under the sun must be for everyone
Everyone living under a gun must be
Everything under the sun must be for someone
And everyone living under a gun must be
And don't fuck with Pandora's Box or don't make it so obvious
Do as you would be done by do as you would be but don't buy it
Do as you would be done by do as you would be but don't buy it
And everything under the sun must be for everyone
Everyone living under a gun must be
Everything under the sun must be for someone
Let some light shine on the poor and the shy and the ugly ones
It's burning in my eyes again they aren't angry
Because we're dancing with the devil in the pale moonlight
And I can try to put it right and we ought to pray
Cause we're dancing with the devil in the pale moonlight
And I will try to put it right and we wait for daylight
We're moving along with sad sad sad songs
And I don't like the *raining* *and they aren't* moving with the times
And I can't beat the walls you build you build buildings
Because we're dancing with the devil in the pale moonlight
And I can try to put it right and we ought to pray
Cause we're dancing with the devil in the pale moonlight
And I will try to put it right and we wait for daylight
Cause we're dancing with the devil in the pale moonlight
And I will try to put it right and we wait for daylight
Live die on your faith live life on your days
It's burning in my eyes again they can't take the spark from my eyes
We can't kill the light that shines which burns it's burning
Because we're dancing with the devil in the pale moonlight
And I can try to put it right and we ought to pray
Because we're dancing with the devil in the pale moonlight
And I can try to put it right and we wait for daylight
The meek shine in Heaven, nothing if no misery
Unevolved doesn't mean the same and we ought to pray *light*
Because we're dancing with the devil in the pale moonlight
Well I don't need no United Nations just like the League of Nations
We can pray pray for a better way
I don't need no crazy conversations along the lines of invasion
You think so *thought* that I don't know
Then say a one our father is what you say
It's one or the other I don't think so
I don't believe this one I don't believe this one I don't believe this one
At least I don't think so so do what you can we can't be everything
We watched the bloody slaughter that could have been in our own square
What do you say 'It's so far away'
I don't need to be tortured in some South American jail
It hurts I can see it hurts
Then say one our father is what you say
It's one or the other I don't think so
I don't believe this one I don't believe this one I don't believe this one
At least I don't think so to do what you can you can't be everything
Another crazy conversation along the lines of invasion
I don't think so with all that I don't know
I don't need to be tortured in some South American jail
To know it hurts cause I can see it hurts
Another anecdote of cold curry breakfasts
Another sees the ghost
Of human aspirations
Another crap red light with ramifications
Now I'm not dead I'm breathing in
Now I'm not sad, imagine it
Now I'm not there I'm over here
Now you preach fear and I don't care
You've heard it all before
Ice cream vans in winter
Snowploughs get to work
And submarines surface
A donkey is for life, not just for Xmas
Now I'm not fat, who said that?
And all those false cries
Of terrorist satellites
The one true rogue state
Is on our side, everyone's afraid
Are you the anti semite
Your not a politician and without a thought
You would build a fort defend what you are
You're not religious and without Catholicism
You would turn to God to save your soul
And all I can do is try my best for you
With all my indecision
And all I can do is try my best for you
We can live with indecision
You're not superstitious and without charm
You would touch wood if you thought it'd do good
You're not the sporting type but without gripe
You would bet your life if you thought you were right
And all I can do is try my best for you
With all my indecision
And all I can do is try my best for you
We can live with indecision
All we can do is try our best for you
With all our indecision
And all that we can do is try our best for you
I can live with indecision
And all I can do is try my best for you
With all of my indecision
No I didn't think you were wrong
And I can still sing your favorite song.
It's not as simple as forgetting presents that were bought,
And not a day goes by when I don't spare you a thought.
Not a day goes by, not a day goes, not a day goes by.
A time when everything was evergreen.
Evergreen and seemingly ideal.
Nights turning into days and we didn't even notice the change.
I don't know what you're talkin about I look but I can't see
Never ceases to amaze this is what you want to be
And in New York State they dance and date
There's killing and then there's rape
Washington DC there's music and conspiracy
Take a long look around what do you see
Things are much the same as they've always been
And I don't know what I've been fighting for just give me more
When I don't know what I've been fighting for nothing happens anymore
I don't know what I've been fighting for just give me more
Well I don't want to be anything like that
He's an American dream independent since July Seventeen something
He won't walk away from anything he is your hero
Skateboards and Bermuda shorts well he won't walk away
Won't drink he won't smoke he is in control
And in New York State there's killing and there's rape
And you want all of this
I don't know what you're talking about I look but I can't see
It never ceases to amaze what you they're want to be
Well I don't know what I've been fighting for give me more
And I don't know what I've been fighting for nothing happens anymore
Well I don't know what I've been fighting for just give me more
That old clock chimes
Begin your diatribe
A life full of flashbacks
Has the effect of candlelight
And like in the movies
Music does play
I'm walking along alone
And I hear the theme tune play
The hardest part is walking away
Turning your back
On what was safe
Don't you ever say goodbye
When the easiest part is starting again
Trying to avoid more of the same
And what was blamed
Soon became nonsense
And what you were really thinking
Was I was a mess
I drive and drive
Round and round my life
That old clock rings times
When it starts to get darker
And the rain clouds are winning
I know they have won
When the foghorn comes
The seagull's sound
Like they're in my room
There's a fly on the arm of the chair that I'm sitting
You talked through my favourite tunes
I recorded that thing for you on channel 2
Chanel No.5 you said I never listen
You should have seen your face
When I told you Hagen Daas can cause infarctions
Hagen Daas can cause infarctions
Welcome to my worlds end
Just past the lighthouse
I see a small fishing boat
The sun spikes through the rain clouds
Asserting some hope
And checking the time on that watch
You'd bought me
I forgot you'd taken it back
Which was slightly annoying
As boring as a day with Roger McGough
I'd rather be face down in a pig's trough
You should have seen your face when I told you
Hagen Daas can cause infarctions
He never used French letters.
But he looked up to Joan of Arc.
Said he knew Eddie Vedder and that tasted like a monkfish tart.
And he always endeavoured to the libraries and works of art.
(HO!HO!
HOO!)
When all's said and done.
It's good to be home.
When all's said and done.
it's good to be gone.
Grinning like a Frank Bough sweater!
But Frank, he had the coke in his heart.
He wasn't that good looking.
But he hedged his bets, and that's a start.
Always thought he knew better,
but he realized it was all arse clarts!
(HO!HO!
HOO!)
When all's said and done.
It's good to be home.
When all's said and done.
Lorrydrivers son was what you'd expect more or less and
Shit-faced at best when he recollects what he can of his sad past
Never holding back criticised by some his head was full of romance
But his hair was a mess in his hands he holds his face
Which holds his head how small it is
Lorrydrivers son he would do all that he can
But he can't do it over again and if all he had
Was all that he'd ever said he would never have said any of it not any of it
Remember Vaux Beer it's no longer here
And even the stoner remembers some cold old Decembers
We all can I was there I'm not here
And the stoner remembers some cold old Decembers
Like you can circus performer's son
Gooseberry's son now you are heating spoons up in your bedroom
To your bedroom it's strong medicine touching your sadness it's strong
Strong enough strong enough for anyone sunflowers brighten a place
Like candle light on the plainest face you have
You have a nice place you have some very good words
About how hard your life is that it can be
So soulless it hurts soulless it hurts
Remember Vaux Beer it's no longer here and
Even the stoner remembers some cold old Decembers
We all can I'm not there it's not here
And the stoner remembers some cold old Decembers
Watch you can you Gooseberry's son
Sunflowers brighten up your place like candle light on your face
Remember Vaux Beer it's no longer here
Even the stoner remembers some cold old Decembers we all can
And Vaux Beer it's no longer here
And even the stoner remembers some cold old Decembers bet you can
Not here I'm not here and all
Can you say I'm right could you say whatever you like
Who you really like you'll have my body
And I won't marry you and I won't give in all to you
When I live for you......
Be fast in your shine your not burning bright
I want another dance with you
Well I live four miles from you I want another dance with you
When I live for you......
And I wonder at night I want it every day
And my wasted mind needs to have them said
And I can't go away but I won't stand in your way
When I live for you......
Hoodlum speed and chewing gum he's on his lonesome
Like a fish is hooked look at the violence look
I'm hopeful I won't be there consensus vote there's not a hope
It's got me by the scrote parasite and speeding camera light
And I will be there
In the palm of my hand I hold these grains of sand
And if I cling to you tight will you be there
You smoke dope every day while I drink my nights away
And if I close my eyes tight you'll still be there
In peacetime there's no peace of mind lop-eared old man
Cheap blinds you pay your parking fines and angels do sing
And in the palm of my hand I hold these grains of sand
And if I cling to you tight you'll still be there
You smoke dope every day while I drink my nights away
And if I close my eyes tight will you still be there
Paraquat what exactly is that and I don't need it
Good times has many rhymes then I'll be there
And in the palm of my hand I hold these grains of sand
And if I cling to you tight will you be there
You smoke dope every day while I drink my nights away
And if I close my eyes tight will you still be there
In the palm of my hand in the palm of my hand
He's in love with a little white god he said
So in love he'll take it in the arm instead
Happy solomn sombre and demure
Are the words that miss a point and a cure
He's in love with a little brown god he said
I have seen the little beads on his forehead
He'll watch the world go round from another place
There's nothing wrong with this
It doesn't affect any heads
He's in love with the rotten old world
He's so in love he'll take it in the arm of his girl
He's in love with a little white god
He's so in love he's forgotten about being a mod
We can't live by laws watchmaking
We can't live like whores babes and children
We can live 'lord of the flies' it's indicative
We can live by we can live buy
Well he's in love and destructively demonstrative
To himself and you and the world inside
When he should kick against the mind manager
It's tunnel vision in a furry colour techni
It's the ultimate not pick-up truck
There's nothing wrong with this
It doesn't affect any heads
He's so in love with a very sad soul
He's so in love you wouldn't believe he was once good in goal
He's so in souled with a little brown god
He doesn't trust himself in fact he just doesn't trust
We can't live by laws watchmaking
We can't live like whores babes and children
We can live 'lord of the flies' it's indicative
We can live by we can live buy
Not me........
He's in love with a little known world
He's so in love he'll take it in the arm of his girl
He's so in love with a little white god
He's so in love he's forgotten about being a mod
We can't live by laws watchmaking
We can't live like whores babes and children
We can live 'lord of the flies' it's indicative
We can live by we can live buy
We can live...
Missing link encrusted in diamente
Polishing turds in the name of records
Call a turd a tune give me Keith Moon
Let the music play because if you speed
It up again I might kill you
It's the only way we'll get anything new today
And you remember this you played it first
Took it off and played something worse
Will I have to kill you where'd those drums come from
Grease proof paper hit by old scones and someone pays you
And the sick and the tired we are so sick and tired
Of familiar tunes I'll just have to kill you and I'm sick and tired
Of familiar tunes will I have to kill you *man*
They hate the music they play kill DJ's for fuck sake
Remember when you'd hear a song you sing it all day long
Every word had meaning to in one hundred years you'd
Still remember every word millennium fever is truly here
And give a hippy a gun he'd sample it a for a drum
But me I'd have to kill you
And the sick and the tired are so sick and tired
Of familiar tunes now I'll have to kill you and the sick and tired
Of the tunes I'll have to kill you and
They hate the music they play kill DJ's for fuck sake
You missing link encrusted in diamente
Polishing turds in the name of records
Call a turd a tune why not me Keith Moon
That's why I'll kill you and
I can't design, I can't design my life.
Decisions can be made in our name, that is the way.
And isn't life just sweet?
For the morally bereft on fat seats.
And isn't life just sweet?
For the villains of the piece.
And isn't life just sweet?
A design for life taken neat.
And isn't life just sweet? All of it!
I can smile a while, smile a mile wider than you.
Am I world weary? That remains to be seen.
Ballet is banned in Turkmenistan.
I hold up my hands, I will never understand.
And I forgive you. And I believe you.
I can't kill you.
But I forgive you. And I believe you.
But I can't kill you.
I forgive you. I believe you.
Another day another sorry state
Will we never learn that there's more things in life than we can imagine
We whistled to the wind and drink a lot of gin
Defer the satisfactions of tomorrow for the pleasures of today
What has life come to when all the pleasant things are bad for you
And in the real world it's all the good things that kill you
And in the real world what are you chanting for
The stench of incense is the only risk he ever takes
In terms of endearment in terms of romance
In terms of ready made pre-packed plastic bags
Oh what has life come to when all the pleasant things are bad for you
And in the real world it's all the good things that kill you
James Bond and Oliver Reed were never good singers
In the real world we have no dollars in the real world
We have no dollars in the real world we have no dollars
As the snow flies on a cold and gray Chicago morning
Poor little baby child is born in the ghetto
And his mama cries for if there's one thing that she don't need
It's another hungry mouth to feed in the ghetto
People don't you understand the child needs a helping hand
He's going to be an angry young man some day
So take a look at you and me are we too blind to see
Do we simply turn our heads and look the other way
Well the world turns and a hungry little boy with a runny nose
Plays in the street as the cold wind blows in the ghetto
And his hunger burns so he starts to roam the street at night
He learns how to steal and he learns how to fight in the ghetto
And then one night in desperation the young man breaks away
He buys a gun steals a car he tries to run
But he won't get far and his mama cries
As the crowd gathers round the angry young man
Face down in the street with a gun in his hand in the ghetto
As her young man dies on a cold and grey Chicago morning
In my life for all you can't remember why
Don't you ever leave those dancing days too far behind
It's all you ever had to lose it's all you ever lose it's all you ever do
Well it's all we say and *we're through*
And in my life *I have swam an encircled life*
In my life and all you say takes too much time
You are everything it's always the same now there's walking away
You are everything know you can stay now that you walk away
You don't like anything I don't like it more you want everything and more
You are everything and more you are everything in my life
In my life.........
You don't want this anymore you don't want this anymore
You don't want this anymore you don't want this anymore anymore
You were someone to talk to my someone to live with for a while
Someone I've never known and I could get some *time* from your smile
Don't like anything don't like it more you want everything and more
You are everything and more you are everything in my life
In my life.........
And all you say as your walking away
In my life.........
In all of my life in all of my fucking life
In my life.........
Before you point the finger and hope the whole thing disappears
Remember empty words would fall fall upon the deafest ears
He won't give up without a fight foul play without a doubt
No silver lining to be seen in this thundercloud and that's not allowed
In the ideal world we'd be free to choose
But in my real world you can bet we're gonna loose
In the ideal world we can start again
In the ideal world put an end to suffering
Your money fills their pockets and fear fills their tiny minds
At last the world is talking now this ain't no way to treat mankind
A sudden blackout stops the show but doesn't stop the way I am
Because all of my life I've been afraid you're not the first to say I am
I do all I can for an ideal world where we're free to chose
In my real world you can bet we're gonna lose
In the ideal world we can start again
But my real world hangs the colour of your skin
We could be free together if they would only change
In life fools never change
With a speck of blue hope in the sky a song of hope a noble thought
But how long must people die before the guilty ones are caught
Then will you spare a thought
For an ideal world we'd be free to chose
The ideal world we're no longer born to lose
In the ideal world we can start again
In my real world put an end to suffering
In my real world it's free to chose
In my real world put an end to suffering
Wrong name wrong face wrong time wrong place
Mass chant vigilante bad taste rat race
We aren't the side who runs but never buys
We are the ones who run but never hide
And I want the moon
I don't expect too much from honeymoons
And I want the moon
Some stand some stare some laugh or much don't care
Passing time passing phase stupid bastard rat race
There comes a line when you step out of tune
There comes a clause and a respectfully yours
And I want the moon we're gonna be there soon
I want the fucking moon I want the moon
I don't expect too much from honeymoons
Business man busy mind contrite like shite
Nothing like injustice nothing like a song to sing
Choose to give icons of our age
And choose to live with one foot in the grave
And I want the moon
I don't expect too much from honeymoons
And I want the moon
A peaceful place that we call home
I'm over the fucking moon
And I want the moon
We don't make bargains and don't deal with markets
And I want the moon
And I have a theory the things you do aren't good for you
A hymn and a rhyme a plethora of ashtray abuse
A bucket full of sunshine and a missile to use
I'd love to see you smile or am I just wasting my time again
And I would rather die than leave you to while away
And I would rather die than while away the time of
And I would rather die
And I don't need to be smiling I can dance
We don't have parties knowing what there is in store
We'll only suffer for a noble cause
And I'd do anything just don't waste my time
And I would rather die than leave you to while away the time of day
And I would rather die than leave you to while away
And I would rather die than while away the time of
And I would rather die
And I don't need to be smiling cause cause I can dance
I won't sit watching days go by I don't know what I can try
He led a normal life he went to sleep at night
And dreamed so many things
He didn't like it in lines he'd refuse to do some things
That weren't what he wanted to know
I don't know why I don't understand the waste
Do nothing ending life
I don't know why you have it all and you hate it all and you spend it
And they walk and they run bullets fly
So they're given a gun they're given minds
Where nothing shines bullets fly face down on the ground
He led a normal life he didn't have a wife just yet
But that was alright and I don't know why
And I don't understand the waste do nothing ending of life
How lonely......
How alone and they walk and they run bullets fly
So they're given a gun they're given minds
Where nothing shines bullets fly they're face down on the ground
Then the war came they are not the same couldn't do nothing ending life
And then the war came they are not all a game and you weren't ready
Never give up hope. Never mainline dope.
never had much luck. Never give a shit.
Never wish me well, like I give a fuck.
Never make a show.
Never say you know.
Never hear the phone.
Never give the dog stick and stones.
Never watch Home Alone.
Never watch Dick & Dom, you'll only end up growing up dumb as fuck.
Never give up hope. Never give up hope.
Never give up hope. Never give up hope.
Never give up...
Never had the gon.
Never mentioned one, as in I was not much fun.
Never looked at the sun.
Straight on to the next one.
Never owned a gun.
Never home for long.
Never that forelorn.
Never had a double, I was always an extra next to you.
Never watch Dick & Dom.
Never watch Home Alone.
You'll always end up growing up, pretty much,
Dumb as fuck right out of the prologue.
Never give up hope. Never give up hope.
Never give up hope. Never give up hope.
Never give up...
That frock could cure a duck with chronic hiccups
Faster than a fat man can do the sit ups.
Never give up hope. Never give up hope.
Here comes the judge you can see the Freemason in his eyes
He wears a wig maybe he won't be recognised
You can trust the judge he is old and very wise
The judge shows nothing at all that would be no good for the soul
My God he is innocent he is old and wise my God he is innocent
Cleaner than clean middle class and white he is always right
And cleaner than clean detached from life will he take the bribe
Cleaner than clean whiter than white miserable paradise
We have got the laws judge he knows them all
Learned at the bigotry bar you can see it in his eyes
He doesn't need to lie he resents the day
They took his black cap away then he's all for hanging men
Flogging them with tails my God he is innocent
Cleaner than clean middle class and white he is always right
Cleaner than clean and detached from life will he take the bribe
Cleaner than clean middle class and fat cause his head's like that
Mother dressed him in cordoroy oh what a boy
His glasses always got smashed thank God for elastoplast
He had a car called Robin Reliant fucking Robin
Then he read in a magazine everyone was wearing jeans
Cleaner than clean middle class and white he is always right
Cleaner than clean and detached from life will he take the bribe
Cleaner than clean whiter than white miserable parasite
Cleaner than clean whiter than white whiter than white
The life and times of one and all living in the isle of dogs
Just waiting for a fall or for a telesales call
Am I anything at all I'm just an ugly ugly old fart
Why can't I understand at all why people think I'm not that tall
Whatever happened to that man who never relaxed his tightly clenched hand
He waived it at the sky against all things that fly
And you heed your own advice like you never said it
Just step back in time give or take a mile
You should heed your own advice say something a bit nice
You won't regret it
I could say that I love you but it's not quite true
I could say I'd die for you that's truer that's true
On that day I first met you I don't believe believe that too
And every little thing you do is more than magic now that's true
I should heed my own advice and wear someone else's shoes
And say something nice maybe about you
I should spend a little time just talking to you
I won't dread that
And on that day I first met you I don't believe believe that too
And every little thing you do is more than magic now that's true
Whatever happened to that man who never relaxed his tightly clenched hand
He waived it ever at the sky like he hated some things that fly
I should heed my own advice and wear someone else's shoes
And say something nice maybe about you
I should spend a little time just talking to you
I won't regret that
I should heed my own advice and say a thing nice
Heed my own advice say something nice
Listless and restless in one like the steam train has soul
Because it runs on coal we still have to endure
Because we still can't be sure of what tomorrow might bring
Where's the damn cat it's not there on it's mat
And there's blue rinse dry rinse
Dry rot bally rinse bally money sink blocked
You could remove my spline but that's not even of any use to me
A natural disaster a bit of a bastard
A mutual feeling of levelling the blame and how
The truth hurts and lies do the same
As fickle as an autumn day praise the lord
Hallelujah just the same before I talk to the trees
I'll have a nice pot of tea and I won't breathe a word
Because it has it's moments and that's what matters
Don't let the wool be pulled and the soft soaping
And gloating should be put alongside
The bricklayers arse and his smelly stained vest
As a vested interest to be ignored more or less
Sending tanks and blankets baby clothes and scuds
Vietnam bric-a-brac zippo culture and
A big totem pole and a draughtsmans' eye for detail
Draughtsmans' eye draughtsmans' eye draughtsmans' eye
It has it's moments and that's what matters
Why does the sun shine when I'm sad and who is this preacher
Pouring valium on your heart paralysed by high art
And no one is laughing because it's like a bullet in the chest
And it's hard to look lively when you're simply dressed
And who can blame you when all you get is Fergie pictures
And needlecraft stitches we go to school
Where all we're taught is to sit still and be on time
That all poems rhyme the sky is blue
And hard work gets it's due and you turn out like a verooka
On the foot of style but Heaven sent you Heaven sent you
Mama take that old badge off of me I can't use it any more
It's getting dark too dark to see feel I'm knocking on heaven's door door door door
Knock knock knocking on heaven's door....
Mama put my gun to the ground I can't shoot them any more
Long black could is coming down feel I'm knocking on heaven's door
My heart is home my heart is
My head is done my head is done
We're going home we're going
I'm not alone I'm not alone
My heart is home my heart is
My heart is home my heart is home
My heart is my heart is my heart is home
I sail along I sail
I don't need a phone I don't
I feel so strong I feel
My heart is home my heart is
My heart is my heart is home
My heart is my heart is my heart is home
My heart is home my heart is home
Those simple songs oh so simple songs
I move along
My heart is my heart is
My heart is home my heart is
My heart is my heart is my heart is home
There's a place that's in my heart where nobody goes
I'm screaming inside outside I'm in control
Wish I could tell you but you already know
Well I'm standing at a crossroads which way should I go
I get a grip on nothing I know not even which way I'll go
I took a dive into your face and swam through your eyes
I'm in the wrong place the waters were cold
Changed with the tide and there's no right time
Well I'm standing at a crossroad and which way should I go
I get a grip on nothing I know not even which way I'll go
So I keep my eyes shut while you keep my hands tied
I get a grip on nothing I know
Well I'm standing at the crossroads and which way should I go
I get a grip on nothing I know not even which way I'll go
So I keep my eyes shut while you keep my hands tied
I get a grip on nothing I know not even which way I'll go
Well I'm standing at a crossroad and which way should I go
God is dead, in my shed
Better red than dead
Living in my head
Best unsaid
Filling me with dread
God is dead in my shed
Better dead than red
The dog is fed
God is dead, definitely dead
I wouldn't lie to you
Chicago school
Treats us like fools
Viva Chavez, Viva Allende
God is Dead
Buried in my shed
The free market
Is still not dead
Wartime leaders
Get Nobel peace prizes
God is dead
As the snow flies on a cold and gray Chicago morning
Poor little baby child is born in the ghetto
His mama cries for if there's one thing that she don't need
It's another hungry mouth to feed in the ghetto
And people don't you understand the child needs a helping hand
He's going to be an angry young man some day
Take a look at you and me are we too blind to see
Do we simply turn our heads and look the other way
Well the world turns and a hungry little boy with a runny nose
Plays in the street as the cold wind blows in the ghetto
And his hunger burns he starts to roam the street at night
He learns how to steal and he learns how to fight in the ghetto
Then one night in desperation the young man breaks away
He buys a gun steals a car he tries to run
But he won't get far and his mama cries
As the crowd gathers round the angry young man
Face down in the street with a gun in his hand in the ghetto
As her young man dies on a cold and grey Chicago morning
One man's bet is another man's debt
One woman's love is another woman's violence
One woman's style is another's chance to be cruel a while
This man's drink is that man's alcoholic *today*
The day won't come and I'd like to thank someone
For leaving us to get things wrong I pray that day won't come
When the only thing wrong is just how we *choose* everyone
One man's grief is another man's relief
One woman's joy is another's little shit of a boy
One woman's guile is another's chance at an insecure smile
This man's party is that man's gang rank and file
This day the day won't come and I'd like to thank someone
For leaving us to get things wrong and pray the day won't come
Pray the day pray the day won't come everyone
Seize the day seize the day seize
Seize the day won't come seize the day seize the day won't come
And they pray that day won't come and I'd like to thank someone
For leaving us to get things wrong and pray the day won't come
When I don't know which way to go
And we'll hold rosey lies not a song
And you with the thought in me
And you will ally that I can see
And you will work and I will hoard
In our lines so beautiful
And you get to play with our lives
Never ought to be my life
And we all in life do die
And you get to play with our lives with our lives
Never be my life
And we'll have to cry to be alive
And I will walk just to see
And I will find a life as I want to be
And you will nag on and on
And you will mourne if I move on
Never lie never learn to die
He even learns it's beautiful
If you get to play with our lives
Never ought to be my life
And we all in life do die
And you get to play with our lives our lives
Would it be my life
And we have to cry to be alive
Then we will walk to his iles
Beautiful hand in hand and you will learn
And I will learn when we leave you will know
Which way to go which way to turn
And you will melt into my life
We get to play with our lives our lives
I'd rather it be my life and we all in life do die
And you get to play with our lives
Never wanted to be my life
And we'll have to cry to be alive
In the darkest of the night I couldn't see if my life had ended
I don't go walking anymore but I don't understand now
I won't be there then I can't see it anymore
I'm on a mine...........
Can you understand your fate you conceal it
When you couldn't be it anymore do you understand now
Do you feel it and could you steal it anymore
I'm on a mine...........
In the darkest of the night I can't be there anymore
Can you understand your fate do you feel it
And could you steal it anymore
A life full of grand ideas a life full of grand designs
Of noble feats and noble minds an entire lifetime out of petty crime
And eyes full of Pound signs an observer of what people do
Most people are when they've little to do flirting with danger
Flirting with a stranger it's what they'll always do
And I know while I'm alive it's what they'll do
And I know while I'm alive it's what they'll do it's what they'll do
Like a time bomb about to go off once bitten is not enough
Getting too close is something to do a fascinating pastime it is to
Amateur dramatic divorced from the pragmatic inherent lack of style
Rotund and robust and unbridled lust paralysed and blinkered
With no common sense no common sense
And I know while I'm alive it's what they'll do
And I know while I'm alive it's what they'll do it's what they'll do
The passenger who tried to get off the passenger who'd had enough
Rotund and robust unbridled lust it's never enough
It's never enough it's never enough
A life full of grand ideas a life full of grand designs
Of noble feats and noble minds an entire lifetime out of petty crime
Flirting with danger flirting with a stranger it's what they'll do
And I know while I'm alive it's what they do
And I know while I'm alive it's what they'll do
And I know while I'm alive it's what they'll do
And I never ever want to see you again for what it's worth for what it's
I'm never ever going to get stung again not one more time never
Well I'm going to hide from that view again and I'm going to hide
I'm not going to hide from bad news again bad news of you
I've never ever been the clever one and as you shine like light
As if that old clock of mine just struck time struck time
I'm going to hide from that view again and I'm going to hide
Then I'm going to hide from bad news again bad news of you hide
Never ever never never
I never ever want to see you again for what it's worth
As if that old clock of mine just struck time
Now cause you'll never know to find a mighty gun mighty gun
And he will see and he will see the sounds of a gun
And he will see and he will see the sounds of the gun
And as fashionable as anything new sometimes I credit you
With more intelligence than you've got and
Sometimes I don't credit you with enough
Today and we can make things happen
And don't say can't and don't work too hard
A new way and you can make things happen
It's a feeling just don't work too hard
You're the centre of the universe make the most of it
And do your very worst
Get up there with the rest the bashful cynic
It's alright to be second best
Don't waste your time it's the heart that's hard
It's the head that's soft pretty slogans and the crimes
Are meaningless tokens don't waste your time
It's the heart that's hard it's the head that's fucking soft
Industrious and arthritic I'd forgive you everything just don't sing
For love at first site and for peace of mind she's a man
He's a woman they're all human
Today and we can make things happen
Don't say can't and don't work too hard
A new way and you can make things happen
It's a feeling just don't work too hard
Don't waste your time it's the heart that's hard
It's the head that's soft pretty slogans and the crimes
Are meaningless tokens don't waste your time
If you follow me I'll take you to a zoo
And I will show you the whole picture sister
Together with wires and glue you can't have
All the things that are rare because an atrocity here
Is an embarrassment there are you the little girl
Who'll grow up to save the world or are you the little boy
Who carries on the evil men do who will talk
For the beleaguered few what's it worth this pain of childbirth
It's something I know nothing of *well come on* you were once
The picture of innocence that was stolen a long time ago
They're still something of the earth salt or scum or both
Are you the little girl who'll grow up to save the world
Or are you the little boy who carries on the evil men do who will talk
For the beleaguered few what's it worth this pain of childbirth
It's something I know nothing of inner city slums and air powered guns
Taking the clothes lines and heading for the sun
Something died inside where something used to shine
You were once the picture of innocence and that was stolen a long time ago
Something of the earth salt of scum or both
That was a long time ago long time ago long time
Are you the little girl who'll grow up to save the world
Or are you the little boy who carries on the evil men do who will talk
For the beleaguered few what's it worth this pain of childbirth
It's something I know nothing of
Are you the little girl who'll grow up to save the world
Are you the little boy who carries on the evil men do
She only smoked weed so she'd like what's been on mtv
At least that's what she found
She could kiss while she shelled oysters
In her boyfriend's big open gob now that made me frown
Have you ever been to New Orleans
Yes but I might as well have been a long way down
He holds his head as if he's eggbound
He holds his head as if he's eggbound
She's not averse to forgetting her purse
Especially when there's beer around
She'd lick the ground
She not only likes that John Smith shite
Her favourite though is Sunny Delight
Now that's eggbound
She went away to find herself
She lost her mind but found some shorts
She's lucky like that
She went to see that band Black Grape
She took something and it went pear-shaped
That's a long way down
She holds her head as if she's eggbound
She holds her head as if she's eggbound
She holds her head as if she's eggbound
She holds her head as if she's eggbound
She only smoked weed so she'd like what's been on mtv
At least that's what she found
She could kiss while she shelled oysters
In her boyfriend's big open gob now that made me frown
Have you ever been to New Orleans
Yes but I might as well have been it's been a long way down
Well he was in awe of her and so were we all and dreams of mighty
Beanstalks were better than than any shiftwork and the puzzling part
Was the surly menace of those prefect lips of yours
Learn to listen before you talk
Before you walk before you before you learn
Learn before you
I feel like the bumble bee impossible in theory
And that never stopped him his life is simply full of meaning
The smell of old towels it rubs off on you even in your new bathrooms
Learn to learn to talk before you walk
Learn to listen learn
Learn to walk learn to talk before you
I feel like a bumble bee it's impossible in theory
But that never stopped him his life is simply full of meaning
And that smell of old towels it rubs off on you even in your bathrooms
Learn to walk before you learn to talk
Learn to walk before you
Learn to listen before you talk even learn to
We won't play european like we play lotteries
We make bombs and millionaires like mindnumbing sit-coms for TV
Then eat her face and then it pours again
We'll eat her face and then it pours again
We maintain wars from afar for future past glories
We make empire stories conspiracy theories
Then eat her face and then it pours again
They'll eat her face and then it pours again
Eat her face then it pours again eat her face
Then eat her face and then it pours again
We'll eat her face then it pours again oh
And eat her face and then it pours again
Freedmen say walk away standing in the shadow of one so great
Little fish jelly fish intestate take a piece of me home to eat
Too much thinking not enough drinking hammer and nail gloriously frail
A longer funeral packing them in to throw their rubbish in my dustbin
My dustbin my dustbin my dustbin
Demigods of pissing looking at a picture with pieces missing
Look fuck off you are boring Marmite of the masses *we've met* happiness
People die for jingo people die for bingo all of my life I've been safe
But the circus comes to town just not the same
Throwing their rubbish in my dustbin
My dustbin my dustbin my dustbin
And a ridiculous state of affairs it's becoming less and less rare
And my only regret was wearing flares and not killing the get
Talk about the ozone talk about the weather
They just picked the fucking wrong Junta
Electro this and automatic uniforms
Now I've walked round here everything is so clear
And I don't like it much now I won't live in this hutch
Never upsetting anyone only fish in this pond
If it spawned a man what's that you've got in your hand
You were happier dreaming too well I never said I'd marry you
And I've spent several days dreaming too
And there was never any doubt about about that we were happy then
To sleep dreaming when things just came about
Long things to categorize look to a space between your eyes
You won't wear white spend time avoiding bright light
You listen to the house of Roe you hear voices from above
They beat spawned a man what's that you've got in your hand
You were happier dreaming too well I never said I'd marry you
Well I've spent several days dreaming too
There was never any doubt about about that we were happy then
To sleep dreaming when things just came about
[grumbles]
You were happier dreaming too well I never said I'd marry you
Well I've spent several days dreaming too
There was never any doubt about about that we were happy then
To sleep dreaming when things just came about
You were happier dreaming too when I never said I'd marry you
Define what you mean define what you say
Define your mind and do the right thing
Sat on the edge of this menagerie
Watching it came apart at the seams
And you can have me if you want is what I say that important
You smell of all the cigs and cheap whiskey as an arbiter of taste
Who's taste who's taste
You can talk you can talk you can talk and you can talk
For hours to a mirror it doesn't answer either
Don't underestimate underdogs they can beat the world
And come back for more they can dance and romance
And drink the night into coma and you can have me if you want
Is what I say that important you can build me up to knock me down
And we'll just keep getting off the ground who's taste
You can talk you can talk you can talk you can talk
For hours to a mirror it doesn't answer either
You can smile we will we will we will smile you
You can talk to hours to a mirror it doesn't answer either
A parody of a human being you take my heart you take it apart
Build me up to bring me down are you Ho Chi Minh or Genghis Khan
And you can have me if you want is what I say that important
You are the arbiter of taste self appointed and without face
You can talk you can talk you can talk when you can talk
For hours to a mirror it doesn't answer either
You can talk you can talk you can talk you you can talk
I don’t want to be a fucking disgrace in this place do I?
I don’t want to be fucking straight laced in this place do I?
I don’t want to be a crease on a piece of crimpolene do I?
I don’t want to be the colour grey like today do I?
I don’t want to be a fucking disgrace in this place do I?
I don’t want to be the colour grey like today do I?
I’ll be with you
I’ll be with you
For all my days
I don’t want to be dragged over hot coals on a sunny day do I?
I don’t want to be the weatherman in the rain do I?
I don’t want to be a sign of the times do I?
I don’t want to be the butt of the joke that’s all folks do I?
I’ll be with you
I’ll be with you
I've seen people turn to God, their discipline is praising the Lord
I've seen people go off to war, getting discipline and needing more
I've seen people junk up in the street, their discipline is needle speak
I've seen many things in my time, I haven't seen water turn to wine.
We all live like dogs, our disciplines are laws.
Discipline on TV screen, ensures the persistence of the mainstream dream.
Do what you like, because I'll never ask why? I value my own life.
I've seen people turn to crime, their discipline is what's mine.
I've seen people walk in line, their discipline were right wing minds.
Why walk on a beach?
Or sit under trees
Just get it over and done with please
There's no need to buy, half dead plants
When weed would love you
Given half the chance
They danced round the truth
For most of my youth
Like you're really going to jump of that roof
Diego Garcia,
Too many people shed to too many tears
You lived your life
In a perfect paradise
The sun always shone
On your beaches with lies
Mr. Wilson smiled
While the sadness took your lives
He said everything would be just fine
Moved thousands of miles
Right out of sign
So the US of A could build another disgrace
For years I diddled off the BBC
And for years I did diddley squat a lot and for what
There was never enough and nothing I'd want that much
That I'd give up a bottle of what
And now there's C Beebies and the CBBC
And the bear in the big blue house consumes me
And for years I've tried to see the world as a child
And now I see a child as the world
La lai la la la li
Li lai li la la la li
Lai li la la la li
Lai li la la la li lai
An upside down face that kills me and the human race
Face a third world war and just how far can they go
Before they mass destruct before they self destruct
Before they blame you again
And for years I've ranted on about what I don't know what
And in one childs eyes I see everything I've ever seen
And I said diddly squat a lot but what have I gained from it
La lai la la la li
Li lai li la la la li
Lai li la la la li lai
Li la la la li lai
The rhythm of the dance on your colour tv
Or the scrapyard of romance and the dulcet tones so heavenly
In the middle lies diddly squat but what
A lot of squatters there are on your plot of land
And when the shit hits the fan or you shit the bed
In the van ever so humbly ever so
Eyes like pigeon pies suicidal cider dance
You're better dead than red
I wonder what it was so bad about it
La la la li
Li lai li la la la li
Lai li la la la li lai
Li la la la li lai
Li la la la li lai
Tell me it takes a one to wall you tips made him go
And yes it hurts so dig a deep hole to bury death twats
I couldn't live with no one else your jealousy becomes your passes by
Remember what you said she probly killed that sense
With the first time we gave in there she saying
That you don't really care how can you do what soul down a hole
Make you feel small take it back to the phase
To improve respect ten fold have to celebrate we go out
Bottle of the pain fall off the bottom shelf
That you don't wanna know watch me sweat
The desert island will be your prison cell
Remember what you said I don't know nobody else
Then a ray of action sped rhetoric that'd make you feel sick
Now I don't know what to say that'll turn against
I don't know what to say yet now I don't know what to say
That'll turn against I don't know what to say no no
It's the first time we made them ** do you really care
How can you chew that soul down in a hole it makes you feel small
Here's another ray of headspinning rhetoric that'll make you feel sick
Get it off my *face* don't let em' burn the shelves
(everyone dance, everyone sing)
Now I can dance now I can dance now I'll go dance now I can dance
Now I can dance can dance now I'll go dance now I can dance
Now I can dance watch them dance now I'll dance now I can dance
Perfume can't hide how you feel if you feel like me
They're no part of the most beautiful thing I've ever seen
When there's only so much room inside of me
Like a bin I sometimes need an emptying too
And it's so much bigger than me when the deep green beautiful levelling
Of everything I've seen it washes away
Everything that I would ever say that I cling to
Sometimes the lemmings make sense such total sense
Well I'm a pale of water that only just learned
To walk on the land and found the earth
As flat as it as it once seemed as it has always been
And it's so much bigger than me when this deep green beautiful levelling
Of everything I see it washes away
Everything that I would ever say that I cling to
And with water in front of me and behind me just these green fields
And how loud it can be reassures me you can't take the
Ground from under me under me
Adhere to flat earth because I have to
And then I bide my time it's called my life
And I feel deep blue beautiful levelling
Of everything that I cling to
It's so much bigger than me when this deep green beautiful levelling
O f everything I see it washes away
Every sin I would ever say that I cling to
There's dark satanic mills and there's green and pleasant hills
Could be riding through Lancashire with all it's
Witchcraft dead industrial air
You can hear a melancholy desert song
And smell George Orwell as a funeral goes on
There's plenty with a license to prostitute
And room to develop the ultimate building
The air in here is dead industrial and so austere
The air round here smells of religion and Vauxies beer
We are this world we watch the sands drain from our hands
We're naive but happy or so it seems
We've all seen the big red bus faces gazing expressionless
The breakfast joint to kill the beast helps sow the
Seed for all manner of dangerous things
Here it goes again as melancholy as the last one
And when you feel as dogmatic as the next
It's time to read into what it is that you do
The air in here is dead industrial and so austere
The air round here smells of religion and Sunday dinner
We are this world we watch the sands drain from our hands
This is our world we are the waters that we learned to work
You can hear a melancholy desert song
And smell George Orwell as the funeral goes on
There's plenty with a license to prostitute
And room to develop the ultimate building
The air in here is dead industrial and so austere
The air round here smells of religion and Vauxies beer
We are this world the sand drains from our very hands
We're naive but happy or so it seems
The air in here is dead industrial and so austere
The atmosphere smells of religion and Vauxies beer
This is our world we are the waters
Daylight comes daylight goes daylight's warm daylight's cold
There's no need to rush this night do it with relish
With as little anguish as you can manage
Never get above it don't go ashtray on me now
Leave out the innuendo at least create inferno
Daylight comes daylight goes daylight's warm daylight's cold
Daylight it's long daylight short daylight comes daylight goes
You walk on the side of Elvis and Jesus Christ
It's not the same as the dream it's what you want things to be
And don't forget the big remote control controlling your soul
Are you the party leader and you just don't need her
Your fucking bleeding her fucking bleeding her bleeding her
Daylight comes daylight goes daylight it's warm daylight's cold
Daylight it's long daylight short daylight is what that's for
His name is Mexico Dave, he can steal and he can slave
In his third world debt that's as much as he can get.
USA Ray has a war on reds In his sick society rage, that rage never ends.
USSR, USA, they're so gay.
His name is Afghanistan Sam, has every right to free his land.
Idaho Joe in South America, this is different, this is America.
Too near his Texas home, it's no place for young Chuck to grow.
The hardest part is the walking away
And turning your back on what you thought was a safe place
The easy bit it is the starting again
It's even easier to make the same mistake
In dark cloudless sky it was closing time
Tomorrow lies well it's a little bit like the blue sky
Cloudless sky it's closing time now to moralies
You go straight in that the shallow end
And ambulance chasing is a good it's a good good game
Embroiled in jury just to justify
A lack of any kind of planning that in fog rainy day
In dark cloudless sky it's closing time
Tomorrow lies well it's a little bit like the blue sky
Cloudless sky it's closing time as a moralies
In dark cloudless sky it is closing time
Tomorrow lies it's a little bit like the blue sky
Cloudless sky it is closing time and tomorrow lies
And I made a friend like I'd never known
Who made me feel like I was a special someone
He cared like I had never done why oh why did didn't I just phone
And now I'll never know what was wrong
There must have been something we could have done
And his smile was a mia child and Andy's drink was guinness I think
Andy's walk amused us all and he was mystifying
And I didn't really know him that long compared to someone compared to
A sense of loss like I had never known and what was important
I had completely wrong and if I could change this world
Then I'd turn it completely upside down
And Andy's smile was a mia child and his drink was guinness I think
And his walk amused us all and he was mystifying
And his *style* was to live in the *sun* and his smile was a million miles
And his drink was guinness I think and Andy was mystifying I'd never known
And Andy's smile was a mia child and his drink was guinness I think
And his walk amused us all Andy was mystifying he was real
And his style was despair sometimes and his walk amused us all
Well you came around a calling that's when I hit the ground running
Running there's something in the air that's not very clear and
It's the fear I've found just fear unfounded
Just say the word and I'll say I've never never heard
Just say the word I'll say I've never heard
Like in the films music plays
When your out alone hear your own theme song
And in the blink of an eye you are your postcode
You have a beautiful word for almost everything that I hate
You gave me a choice well I never ever knew there was such a thing
You take away my voice why did I let her
You gave me a voice and I never knew there was any choice
Took away my choice you gave them things strange ideas
We're specialists we specialise in hanging from lampshades
I hope the winter garden don't break
I'll never say the word Weird Al say it
And just say the word say I've never ever heard
Just say the word say I've never heard
Just say the word and I'll say I've never heard
You just say the word and I'll say I've never heard
And those strangers on trains it looks like they're
Going away again on holiday day
All the strangers on trains it looks like they're
Going away again on holiday,why didn't I
And you gave me a choice you never did give us any choice
You take my voice and all my words
And you gave me a voice well I never thought there was any choice
Goodbye Norma Jean though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself while those around you crawled
They crawled out of the woodwork and they whispered into your brain
They sent you on the treadmill made you change your name
Well it seems to me you live your life like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to when the rain set in
And I would have liked to have know you but I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before your legend ever did
The loneliness was tough but the toughest role you ever played
Hollywood created a superstar they made you change your face
Then even when you died the press still hounded you
And all the papers had to say was that Marilyn was found in the nude
But it seems to me you live your life like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to when the rain set in
And I would have liked to have know you but I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before your legend ever did
Goodbye Norma Jean no I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself while those around you crawled
They crawled out of the woodwork and they whispered into your brain
They sent you on the treadmill and made you change your name
Now it seems to me you live your life like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to when the rain set in
And I would have liked to have know you but I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before your legend ever did
Dirty man, dead disease, have a real cool time
Lilly livered son of a ritual gun, cattle for slaughter
Low life hell, it's all in vein and all's not well
Inject me life, inject me anything at anytime
And you fix a smile, it's something new
And you would sell your fucking soul to have just one more
Inject a smile, you'll be dead in a little while
Terraced slum filth dwellings fall, lead in air stunts our fall
Self inflicted self disgrace, sentenced to an armchair death in outer space
Cabbage case, squalid little being in an attic mess
And you will steal my fucking life to have a good time
I will walk a million miles just to see something truly obscene
All I ever said was like
Fishing in my head
All the things I could've done
In the name of fun
What is this thing I could've done
With a loaded gun
While you were pissing
On my setting sun
If my hands broken
It's broken in two
If my minds open
It's not open to you
If my heads soaking
It's soaking in brew
All the things I did and said
Were they really that bad?
Sitting in my little home
Talking to ghosts
All the things I ever said
Was like fishing in my head
Things I wish I'd never done
And that all knowing stare was hard enough to wear
It's the reciprocated gloat that sticks in your throat
The box jellyfish sting it stops your heart before you know
But you stopped me deader than anything
And you *stuck* me deader than anything
You put into words like I never could
You sing them through like I would just kill to
Hit that nail on the head in three words everything is said
And you can strip a butt-end and put it back together again
In a perfect English accent with just one hand better than anything
Now I boxed you in and then I boxed you in how I boxed you in
And boxed you in boxed you in and boxed you in then I boxed you in
You were so wrapped up living in my loft
But you only got in because I had a tile off and
Busy patting your own back walking forward looking back
It's so beautiful to watch she wears a Rolex but looks good in a Swatch
And she stopped me deader than anything she stopped me deader than anything
Boxed you in then boxed you in and now that I boxed you in
And boxed you in boxed you in then I boxed you in and I boxed you in
You put into words like I never could
And you sing them through like I would just kill to
Hit that nail on the head in three words everything is said
And you can strip a butt-end and put it back together again
And that all knowing stare was so hard enough to bear
With it's reciprocated gloat that sticks in your throat
The box jellyfish sting it stops your heart before you think
We adhere to Alright Jack To the rich and the thin and the meaningless ideas
And there on your back is Alright Jack
He doesn't care about warfare, he must be safe
We adhere to the idea of Mr. Sincere,
And we adhere to all he holds dear, but all the things that he holds he owns
We reason why? It's Mr. Jones again and again that will always win
And I have a pot full of coins and above it hangs a picture
Of a brother and a sister there's been a wedding
Black painted floorboards and a stench like wet cardboard
This is the dead smell of another winter
And I don't want to be bound up like books
I don't want to be a sad ornament of a place
They are bound up like books I don't want to be a picture frame
A house full of things some of which they hadn't seen
Since they bought the sodding things in 1980 something
If only their place had a little more space
And a little less waste that would be then something
If only their house looked like those in books
If only their cupboards didn't look like Mother Hubbards
And I don't want to be bound up like books
I don't want to be a sad ornament of her place
They are bound up like books I don't want to be the picture frame
No book in this house went unread
An old cup an old plate and in this house
Absolutely everything seems out of place
Out of place there were pictures on the walls
Just to hide the faults there were pictures on walls
And a friendly old ghost that'll haunt me 'till the day
That I die I have a pot full of coins and
Above it hangs a picture of a brother and a sister there's *wedding* and
Black painted floorboards and a stench like wet cardboard
This is the dead smell of another winter
A scapegoat in a waistcoat
Selling mini plagues again
There’s idle speculation
That I procrastinate my life away
A more persistent Monday morning daze
You can’t bend me
Or attempt to mend me
You can’t lend me how you’re feeling
When I first saw you in that attic
You looked anything but ecstatic that day
Why would someone leave you sitting there
Right in the middle of a dead room stinking of paint?
I remember just thinking you are coming home with me
And ever since you’ve stayed in one piece
Is it an illusion you’re alluding to?
A belly-dancing stoat
Is more believable than you
You can’t bend me
Or offend me
Bakelite as black as night it's like a friend
Maybe you need a mocking bird to kill me in the end
Story lines is someone tired cold curry breakfast again
The dealer's to thank for another wank hand you need a friend
And all you have all you have it worries me
And what you said what you said it worries me
That new hat that you had has got me afraid
You're all mad you're all fat
It means the world to me the world to me
It means the world to me
An over zealous tour guide that has to hide
Every time I hear that ice-cream van it's pissing down outside
You're weirder than the after-life you need a friend
And your fashion sense is no recompense pardon my French
And all you have all you have it worries me
And what you said what you said it worries me
That new hat that you had has got me afraid
You're all mad you're all fat
It means the world to me
It means the world to me
It means the world to me
And all you have all you have it worries me
And what you said what you said it worries me
That new hat that you had has got me afraid
You're all mad you're all fat
It means the world to me
And all you have all you have it worries me
What you said what you said it worries me
I've read the books of men and women and death
I've stood in bars listening to conversations
About Jesus Christ and the refugee's and the Royal family
Everybody knows hot to cook baked potatoes
Everybody knows but they still tell you
Everybody knows which way the wind blows
Everybody knows there's catastrophe
Then comes the film packed full of art
You know that for a start and people like me
Have something to sing about
Everybody knows which way the wind blows
Everybody knows but they still tell you
Everybody knows to cook baked potatoes
Everybody knows you can't fill your boots
Forever and ever and ever
Seeing black sand can't become to anything
A sally army marching band wasn't what I had in mind
Seeing black sand and *it's coughing like big mound*
Being black sand feeling
And I've read the books of men and women and death
I've stood in bars listening to conversations
About Jesus Christ and the refugee's and the Royal family
Impersonate Cliff Richards lip or Iggy with a bottle
Is not as ridiculous as Black Rod knocking
On a door once a year and never getting in
What becomes of me, the repetition that I
Was immunized against like a friend was
In the room without a view
Simple Simon tests the best of the rest
It's awful that they really don't think of you
And what you do
You should never tell lies you might be hypnotized,
Like a friend that's breathing
All the rules that we all abused
Like a parasite bleeds the life out it
You're sick of the shite
Send me on my way, have another dance
Have another dance, have another dance on my grave
What becomes of you, hardly heard a word
From someone that disturbing and I really want to breathe
in the fumes
You kicked seven shades of shite out of it
You're on the glue it's really what you do
That no one knew
The repetition that I
Was immunized agains like a friend was
In a room without a view
Simple Simon tests the best of the rest
It's awful that they really don't thing of you
There are thousands dance to the atrocity of the wartime blues.
He thinks it's a shit dance but he likes the war and romance.
Animal day, send me to war. Me and the boxer.
Animal day, send me to war, then make a charity.
He has a thing about pretty things and the machines of history.
He lives in a little black box in the midst of obscurity.
All the censored things, the terminal disease,
The filth and obscenity, running the charities
Well all I wanted was to get on my feet
But you're guaranteed a kick in the teeth
It's all I want out of life as my body is a heap and I cut I bleed
And we're all going to seed a lot of people in my brain and I'm totally sane
For the last twenty years we've had the same love song
For the last twenty years I've known what is wrong
For the last twenty years we've had the same love song
Well all I wanted was happiness now I could not care less
Nobody knows my name things remain much the same
All I wanted was something new then something else to abuse
Give us industry something to achieve
For the last twenty years we've had the same love song
For all of that twenty years I've known what is wrong
For the last twenty years we've had the same love song
Well all I wanted was Adam and Eve start such a mess I can see
When all I was asking for is a little economic war
We all watched the bottle dance all we want is to be safe
Talk about have enough distribution of the wealth
For the last twenty years we've had the same love song
For all of that twenty years I've known what is wrong
For the last twenty years we've had the same love song
Then for all of that twenty years I've known what's wrong
That's all I need it's all I need it's all I need it's all I need
And your mine shaft give yourself shaft
Machiavellian killing in time lapse
Unfashionable pure become fewer and fewer
And if you listened if you paid heed
It'd be a sad day indeed
A sad day indeed........
You play ball you miss 'em all sick man
Thick man living by your dick man
Glorious tories with after dinner stories
And if it stands still he'll taint it
Killing colour killing each other
You're killing each other.........
Killing
Mata Hari's dance enchants the entranced
You can steal a first kiss
But that doesn't last like ignorance is bliss
The government bleeds building and houses
The yards upon yards pay for it all you pay for it all
You will live a very long life sitting like the judge sitting with the wife
Don't ask don't ask don't ask don't ask why life is hard in real time
Will you be a postcard or will you be a work of art
You can give everything you own but you won't get rid of the atom bomb
Don't ask don't ask don't ask
Don't ask don't ask don't ask
Don't ask don't ask don't ask just don't ask
Will you get your pound of flesh get it while it's fresh
With zeal or was it zest it's not your vocation
You just want the very best will you be the firm favourite
Or will you be a little more dangerous is there a reason
For all this endeavour is it music to your ears or a reasonable fear
Don't ask don't ask don't ask
Don't ask don't ask don't ask
And don't ask don't ask don't ask
Don't ask don't ask don't ask
Don't ask don't ask don't ask just don't ask
Will you be a postcard will you be a work of art
You certainly inspire and you pour coals on the fire
That excite and ignite and give purpose to life
A cartoon with the pain, a cartoon with the pain
Will you be a postcard or will you be a work of art
You certainly inspire and you pour coals on the fire
That excite and ignite and give purpose to life
A cartoon with the pain a cartoon with the pain the pain
