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)
ADVERT
It's six o'clock on the dot and i'm half way
home
I feel foul mouthed as i stand an wait for the underground
And a nervous disposition doesn´t agree with this
I need something to remind me that there is something else
You need a holiday somewhere in the sun
With all the people who are waiting
There never seems to be one
Say something, say something else
Advertisments are here for rapid persuasion
If you stare too long you loose your appetite
A nervous disposition doesn't agree with this
You need fast relief from aches and stomach pains
(chorus )
Do you advert think ?
COLIN ZEAL
Colin zeal knows the value of mass appeal
He's a pedestrian walker, he's a civil talker
He's an affable man with a plausible plan
keeps his eye on the news, keeps his futrure in hand
And then he
Looks at his watch he's on time yet again
He's pleased with himself, he´s pleased with himself,
So pleased with himself ah ah.
While sitting in traffic, colin thinks in automatic
He's an immaculate dresser, he's the common aggressor
He's a modern retard with a love of bomblast
Keeps his eye on the news never dwells on the past
And then he
(chorus )
(through the megaphone) He's a modern retrard, he's a
Terminal lard, he's an affable man
With a carrotene tan because Colin's Zeal is ill.
PRESSURE ON JULIAN
Only the magical transit children sing,
Sing the lullaby bah bah bah
Sitting on the pavement sucking on a long straw,
It's colourful, it's colourful, but it washes you out.
Here is my violence and here is the excuse,
I learnt it all but only second hand
Falling into walls well, what is it with you,
You'd never know, never know, never know.
We planned it all this way, we planned it all this way
Pressure on Julian
Swimming in yellow pissy water,
Sand getting in between the ears
No blood in head in this bloody weather,
Irrate people with yellow tongues
Only the magical transit children sing,
Sing the lullaby bah bah bah
falling into walls, well what is it with you,
You'd never know never know, never know.
(chorus )
(there was pressure on Julian, pushing trolleys in the
Car park from b to a then back to b, pressure on
Julian, he keeps passing out, poor little snout, the
Birds are singing at night, pressure on julian)
Falling into walls well, what is it with you, you'd
Never know, never know, never know)
STARSHAPED
Wash with new soap behind the collar
Keeps a clean mental state
Don't usually bother in cold weather
But still i'm getting into work late
And i don't need the practise
I've been making plans (for the future)
Become an unconcious man (all for the good)
Feel so unecessary
(We don't think so, you seem starshaped)
I have a couple at the weekend
Helps keep up camaraderie
And my mind boggles in the muddle
At the possibilities
(bridge )
(chorus)
Wash with new soap behind the collar
helps keep down the laundry
And now i bother in cold weather
Because it cleans me mentally
BLUE JEANS
Air cushioned soles,
I bought them on the Portabello road on a Saturday
I stop and stare a while,
A common pastime when conversation goes astray
But don't think i'm walking out of this
She doesn't mind, whatever i say, whatever i say
I don't really want to change a thing,
I want to stay this way forever
Blue, blue jeans i wear them every day,
There's no particular reason to change
My thoughts are getting banal, i can't help it
But i won't pull out hair another day
(bridge)
(chorus )
You know it's to be with you
CHEMICAL WORLD
The pay-me girl has had enough of the bleeps
So she takes a bus into the country
Although she got herself rosy cheeks
She didn't leave enough mondey to pay the rent
The lanlord says that she's out in a week
What a shame she was just getting comfy
Now she's eating chocolate to induce sleep
In a chemical world it's very, very, very cheap
And i don't know about you
They´re putting the holes in, yes yes
It's been a hell of a do
they've been putting the holes in, yes yes
Peeping thomas has a very nice view
Across the street at the exhibitionist
These townies they never speak to you
Just stick together so they never get lonely
Feeling lead, feeling quite light-headed
Had to sit down and have some sugary tea
In chemical world, in a chemical world
It's very, very, very, cheap.
INTERMISSION
[instrumental]
SUNDAY SUNDAY
Sunday sunday here again in tidy attire
You read the colour supplement, the TV guide
You dream of protein on a plate,
Regret you left it quite so late
To gather the family around the table,
To eat enough to speep
Oh , the sunday sleep
Sunday sunday here again a walk in the park
You meet an old soldier and talk of the past
He fought for us in two world wars and says
The england he knew is no more
He sings songs of Praise every week
But always falls asleep
For that sunday sleep
You dream of protein on a plate,
Regret you left it quite so late
To gather the family around the table to eat enough to sleep
And Mother's Pride is you epithet,
That extra slice you will soon regret
So going out is your best bet, then bingo yourself to sleep
Oh the sunday sleep
OILY WATER
Lead in me and me in water
Dangling in my word
I swallowed to much oily water
It keeps slipping down my spine
In a sense of self decline
Growing fat on sound
It's only an early morning dream
And the whole world will be alright
(chorus)
My head is full of suspicion
I'm coming home sometime
I've swallowed too much oily water
It keeps slipping down my spine
In a sense of self in decline
I´m lying on my back it's
it´s only an early morning dream
And so the whole world will be alright
(chorus )
MISS AMERICA
Miss america sits in the shower
She's plucking hours from the sky
Picks up the telphone into another home
Don't ask me why
I don't mind, i don't mind at all i love only you
She's a well wisher and she wishes you well wish away,
Wish away she's no jellybean, she's a jemima ho ho
Wish away. Wish away
I don't mind, i don't mind at all i love only you da
Do da da do
Here is here and i am here where are you far away, far
Away she's no jellybean, she's a jemima ho ho wish
Away, wish away
VILLA ROSIE
Practise doesn't make perfect when you're interbreeding
Speaking drivel can it get confused with heavy breathing?
Mixing drinks at water holes get snarled up in the suburbs
Meandering through this and that
You are suspected of vagueness
When work is done, go to villa rosie every night
(We're waiting)
So form a-queue at Villa Rosie every night (so tasty)
Across the common every day
You come across the fine line
But wearing boots can prevent the leeches
In the long grass
Eating between meals stifles the appetite is it healthy?
Coming home that nagging doubt there in your belly
And all the while at villa rosie every night (we're tasting)
A sweeter life at Villa Rosie every night (so tasty)
All loosers come to Villa Rosie every night (we're waiting)
So form a queue at Villa Rosie every night (so tasty)
Don't break your back at Villa Rosie every night (we're tasting)
A sweeter life at Villa Rosie every night (so tasty)
COPING
Primal, evil what am I?
Tongue-tied unti the day I die
There's no oove made with mermaids
It's just distraction or so they say
But I´m too tired to care about it
Can't you see it in my face, my face
When I feel this strange can I go through this again
It's a sorry state you're gettting in
The same excuse is wearing thin
There's no self control left in me
What was not will never be
(bridge)
(chorus )
TURN IT UP
Kazoo, kazoo, you are mine i give you my heart
every time
Turn it up, turn it off, turn it in
Anyway you choose, anyway you choose at all
Sometimes you do too much, sometimes it all gets too much
(bridge)
(chorus )
POP SCENE
A fervoured image of another world
Is nothing in particular now
And imitation comes naturally
But I never really stopped to think how
And everyone is a clever clone
A chrome colored clone am I
So in the abscence of a way of life
Just repeat this again and again...and again
Hey, hey come out tonight (2x)
Popscene, all right
I'm leaving town to run away
Right into your twisted arms
No queues and there's no panic there
Just dangling your feet in the grass
My lack of natural luster now
Seems to be losing me friends
So in the abscence of a way of life
Just repeat this again and again...and again
Hey, hey come out tonight (2x)
Popscene!
RESIGNED
I think too much on things i want too much
it makes me
Hateful and i say stupid things only you can fill my
Blank heart and i'm resigned to that
I wish the sun could just keep me warm and i'm
Resigned to that i'll forget to breathe someday i've
Never stopped to think why
COMMERCIAL BREAK
[Instrumental]
WHEN THE COWS COME HOME
Good morning
Wake up
Wake up with purpose and polite efficiency
Stuff vitamin pills down your half guarantee
A kiss and cuddle with a lucky girl
You get fed and watered
Makes your hair curl
And when the days draws in
You put on a record
Put on something gentle
And wait for the cows to come home
Wake up a little voice says
Do you eagerly?
You musn´t let yourself sink financially
Don´t listen to the accusation that you´re tight
You could be the first man on your street to get it right
And when the day draws in
You going to go into waltz time
For once it was good time
Wait for the cows to come home
On your life
Ha da de da da
Ha da de da da
Ha da da de da
Ha da de da da da
Wake up with purpose and polite efficiency
So you fet fed and watered with good company
And when the day draws in
You go into waltz time
For once it´s a good time
Wait for the cows to come home
All your life
PEACH
Chemical waste
Best part of the beach
You´re always the way you are
What of that going to close you in
You got a gaping hole in your head
I´d let the birds nest there instead
Aha aha aha aha
A gun in your pocket
& hair in a locket
Around your neck
From the girl you once loved
Where is she now, you´ve gone crazy
You´ve got a gaping hole in your head
I´d let the birds nest there instead
Aha aha aha aha
You´ve got a gaping hold in your head
I´d let the birds nest there instead (x4)
Aha aha aha aha
