SONG 2
I got my head checked
By a jumbo jet
It wasn't easy but nothing is
no
When I feel heavy metal
And I'm pins and I'm needles
Well, I lie and I'm easy
All the time but I am never sure
why I need you
Pleased to meet you
I got my head down
When I was young
It's not my problem
It's not my problem
When I feel heavy metal
And I'm pins and I'm needles
Well, I lie and I'm easy
All the time but I am never sure
why I need you
Pleased to meet you
Yeah Yeah
Yeah Yeah
Yeah Yeah
Oh Yeah
THERE'S NO OTHER WAY
You're taking the fun
Out of everything
Making me run
When I don't want to think
You're taking the fun
Out of everything
I don't want to think at all
There's no other way
There's no other way
All that you can do
Is watch them play
You're taking the fun
Out of everything
You're making it clear
When I don't want to think
You're taking me up
When I don´t want to go up anymore
I'm just watching it all
There's no other way
There's no other way
All that you can do
ls watch them play
I'll watch you play
THE UNIVERSAL
This is the next century
The universal is free
You can find it anywhere
Yes, the future has been sold
Every night we are gone
And to karaoke songs
We like to sing along
Although the words are wrong
It really, really, really could happen
When the days seem to fall straight through you
Just let them go
No one here is alone
Satellites in every home
The universal is here
Here for everyone
Every paper that you read
Says tomorrow is your lucky day
Well, here's your lucky day
COFFEE & TV
Do you feel like a chain store?
Practically floored
One of many zeros
Kicked around bored
Your ears are full but your empty
Holding out your heart
To people who never really
Care how you are
So give me Coffee and TV
History
I've seen so much
I'm goin blind
And i'm braindead virtually
Sociability
It's hard enough for me
Take me away from this big bad world
And agree to marry me
So we can start all over again
Do you go to the country
It isn't very far
There's people there who will hurt you
Cos of who you are
Your ears are full of the language
There's wisdom there you're sure
'Til the words start slurring
And you can't find the door
So give me Coffee and TV
History
I've seen so much
I'm goin blind
And i'm braindead virtually
Sociability
It's hard enough for me
Take me away from this big bad world
And agree to marry me
So we can start all over again
So give me Coffee and TV
History
I've seen so much
I'm goin blind
And i'm braindead virtually
Sociability
It's hard enough for me
Take me away from this big bad world
And agree to marry me
So we can start all over again
Oh...we could start over again
Oh...we could start over again
Oh...we could start over again
Oh...we could start over again
PARKLIFE
Confidence is a preference for the habitual
voyeur of what is known as (parklife)
And morning soup can be avoided if you take a route straight
through what is known as (parklife)
John's got brewers droop he gets intimidated by the dirty
pigeons they love a bit of it (parklife)
Who's that gut lord marching... You should cut down on your
porklife mate... Get some exercise
(chorus)
All the people
So many people
They all go hand in hand
Hand in hand through their parklife
Know what I mean
I get up when I want except on wednesdays when I get rudely
awakened by the dustmen
(parklife)
I put my trousers on, have a cup of tea and I think about
leaving the house (parklife)
I feed the pigeons I sometimes feed the sparrows too it
gives me a sense of enormous well being (parklife)
And then I'm happy for the rest of the day safe in the knowledge
there will always be a bit of my heart devoted to it (parklife)
(chorus)
Parklife (parklife) parklife (parklife)
It's got nothing to do with vorsprung durch technic you
know
And it's not about you joggers who go round and round and
round parklife (parklife)
(chorus x 2)
END OF THE CENTURY
She said there's
Ants in the carpet
Dirty like monsters
Eating all the morsels
Picking up the rubbish
Give her effervescence
She needs a little sparkle
Good morning TV
You're looking so healthy
(chorus)
And we all say
Don't want to be alone
We wear the same clothes
Because we feel the same
And kiss with dry lips
When we say goodnight
End of the century... it's nothing special
Sex on the TV
Everybody's at it
And the mind gets dirty
As you get closer to thirty
He gives her a cuddle
They're glowing in a huddle
Good night TV you're all made up
And you know that
(chorus)
Can you eat her
yes you can
(chorus)
NO DISTANCE LEFT TO RUN
It's over
You don't need to tell me
I hope you're with someone who makes you
Feel safe in your sleeping tonight
I won't kill myself, trying to stay in your life
I got no distance left to run
When you see me
Please turn your back and walk away
I don't want to see you
Cos i know the dreams that you keep is wearing me
When your coming down, think of me here
I got no distance left to run
It's over, I knew it would end this way
I hope you're with someone who makes you feel
That this life is the night
And it settles down, stays around
Spends more time with you
I got no distance left to run

GIRLS & BOYS
Street's like a jungle
So call the police
Following the herd
Down to Greece
On holiday
Love in the 90's
Is paranoid
On sunny beaches
Take your chances looking for
(Chorus)
Girls who are boys
Who like boys to be girls
Who do boys like they're girls
Who do girls like they're boys
Always should be someone you really love
Avoiding all work
Because there's none available
Like battery thinkers
Count your thoughts on 1 2 3 4 5 fingers
Nothing is wasted
Only reproduced
Get nasty blisters
Du bist sehr schön
But we haven't been introduced
(Chorus)
CHARMLESS MAN
I met him in a crowded room
Where people go to drink away their gloom
He sat me down and so began the story of a charmless man
Educated the expensive way he knows his claret from a beaujolais
I think he'd like to have been Ronnie Kray
But then nature didn't make him that way
He thinks his educated airs those family shares
Will protect him, that we will respect him
He moves in circles of friends
Who just pretend that they like him
He does the same to them and when you put it all together
There's the model of a charmless man
He knows the swingers and their cavalry
Says he can get in anywhere for free
I began to go a little cross eyed
And from this charmless man i just had to hide
He talks at speed he gets nose bleeds
He doesn't see his days
Are tumbling down upon him
And yet he tries so hard to please
He's just so keen for you to listen
But no one is listening
And when you put it all together
There's the model of a charmless man
SHE'S SO HIGH
I see her face everyday
I see her face
It doesn't help me
I see her face everyday
I see her face
It doesn't help me
She's so high
I want to crawl all over her
She's so high
I want to crawl all over her
I think of her everyday
I think of her
lt doesn't help me
She's so high
I want to crawl all over her
She's so high
I want to crawl all over her
She doesn't help me
She's so high
I want to crawl all over her
COUNTRY HOUSE
(So the story begins)
City dweller successful fella
thought to himself
oops I've got a lot of money
I'm caught in a rat race terminally
I'm a professional cynic
But my hearts not in it
I'm paying the price of livlng life at the legal limit
Caught up in the centuries anxiety
It preys on him he's getting thin
Now he lives in a house a very big house in the country
Watching afternoon repeats
And the food he eats in the country
He takes all manners of pills
And piles up analyst bills in the country
It's like an animal farm,
Lots of rural charm in the country
Now he's got morning glory life's a different story
Everything going jackanory
In touch with his own mortality
He's reading balzac knocking back prozac
It's a hellping hand
That makes you feel wonderfully bland
Oh, it's the centuries remedy for the faint at heart,
A new start
He lives in a house a very big house in the country
He's got a fog in his chest
So he needs a lot of rest in the country
He does'nt drink smoke laugh
He takes herbal baths in the country
Oh it's like an animal farm
But you'll come to no harm in the country
Blow blow me out i am so sad i don't know why
TO THE END
All these dirty words
They make us look so dumb been
Drinking far too much
And neither of us mean what we say
(chorus)
Well you and I
Collapsed in love
And it looks like we might have made it, yes it looks like
we've made it to the end
What happened to us
Soon it will be gone forever
Infatuated only with ourselves
And neither of us can think straight anymore
(chorus x 2)
ON YOUR OWN
Holy man tiptoed his way across the ganges
The sound of magic music in his ears
Videoed by a bus load of tourists
Shiny shell suits on and drinking lemonade
Now I got a funny feeling which I bought mailorder
From a man in a teepee in California
Said he once was that great game show performer
Then he blew all his money away
Blew it all away
So take me home
don't leave me alone
I'm not that good
But I am not that bad
No psycho killer
Hooligan guerrilla
I dream to riot
Oh you should try it
I'll eat parole get gold card soul
My joy of life is on a roll
And we'll all be the same in the end
Then you're on your own (2)
Well we all go happy day glow in the discos
The sound of magic music in our brains
Someone stumbles to the bathroom with the horrors
Says' Lord give me time for I've jumped into space
I'm in outer space
So take me home
Don't leave me alone
I'm not that good
But I am not that bad
No psycho killer
Hooligan guerrilla
I dream to riot
Oh you should try it
I'll eat parole get gold card soul
My joy of life is on a roll
And we'll all be the same in the end
Then you're on your own (2)
THIS IS A LOW
And into the sea goes pretty england and
me
Around the bay of biscay and back for tea
Hit traffic on the dogger bank
Up the thames to find a taxi rank
Sail on by with the tide and fall asleep
And the radio says
(chorus)
This is a low
But it won't hurt you
When you are alone it will be there with you
Finding ways to stay solo
On the tyne forth and cramity
There's a low in the high forties
And saturday's locked away on the pier
Not fast enough dear
on the malin head, blackpool looks blue and red
And the queen, she's gone round the bend
Jumped off land's end
(chorus x 3)
FOR TOMORROW
He's a twentieth century boy, with his hands
on the rails
Trying not to be sick again and holding on for tomorrow
London ice cracks on a seamless line,
He's hanging on for dear life
So we hold each other tightly and hold on for tomorrow
Singing la la la la la
Holding on for tomorrow
She's a twentieth century girl, with her hands on the wheel
Trying not to make him sick again,
Seeing what she can borrow
London's so nice back in your seamless rhymes,
But we're lost on the Westway
So we hold each other tightly and hold on for tomorrow
(chorus)
(middle)
Trying not to be sick again and holding on for tomorrow
She's a twentieth century girl hanging on for dear life
So we hold each other tightly and hold on for tomorrow
(chorus)
(jim stops and gets ou the car, goes to a house in
Emperors gate, through the door and to his room, then
He puts the tv on, turns it off and makes some tea,
Says modern life it's rubbish, then susan comes into
The room, she's a naught girl with a lovely smile and
Says let's take a drive to primrose hill it's windy
There and the view is so nice, london ice can freeze
Your toes like anyone i suppose)
