JOYRIDERS
We like driving on a Saturday night
Past the leisure centre left at the lights
Oh we don't look for trouble
But if it comes we don't run
Lookin' out for trouble
Is what we call fun.
Hey you, you in the Jesus sandals
Wouldn't you like to come over and watch some vandals
Smashing up someone's hooooooooooome?
We can't help it we're so thick we can't
think
Can't think of anything but shit sleep and drink
Oh we like women
Up the women we say
And if we get lucky, yeah we might even meet some one day
Hey you, you in the Jesus sandals
Wouldn't you like to come over and watch some vandals
Smashing up someone's hoooooooooooome?
Mister we just want your car
Cos we're taking a girl to the reservoir, oh
Oh all the papers say it's a tragedy
But don't you wanna come and see?
Mister, we just want your car
Cos we're taking a girl to the reservoir, oh
Oh all the papers say it's a tragedy
Mister, we just want your car
Cos we're taking a girl to the reservoir, oh
Oh all the papers say it's a tragedy
But don't you wanna come and see?
LIPGLOSS
No wonder you're looking thin
when all that you live on
is lipgloss and cigarettes
And scraps at the end of the day when
he's given the rest
to someone with long black hair
All those nights in, making such a mess of the bed
Oh you never ever want to go home
And he wants you so you may as well hang around for a while
call your Dad on the phone
He changed his mind last Monday
so you've got to leave by Sunday
yeah
You've lost your lipgloss Honey
Oh yeah
Now nothing you do
can turn him on
there's something wrong
You had it once
but now it's gone
And you feel such a fool
for laughing at bad jokes
and putting up with all of his friends
and kissing in public
What are they going to say
when they run into you again?
That your stomach looks bigger
and your hair is a mess
and your eyes are just holes in your face
And it rains every day and when it doesn't
the sun makes you feel worse anyway
He changed his mind last Monday
so you've got to leave by Sunday
yeah
You've lost your lipgloss Honey
Oh yeah
Now nothing you do
can turn him on
there's something wrong
You had it once
but now it's gone
Though you knew there was no way
it was going to last for ever
it still shook you
when he told you in a letter
that he didn't
want to see you
You nearly lost your mind
Oh yeah
You've lost your lipgloss Honey
Oh yeah
Now nothing you do
can turn him on
there's something wrong
You had it once
but now it's gone
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
ah-ah-ah-ah…
ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh…
Oh yeah
ACRYLIC AFTERNOONS
I fell asleep on your sofa,
and had a dream about a small child,
in dungarees,
who caught his hands in the doors of the Paris metro.
Then my face cracked open and you were there,
you were there dressed in green,
saying something obscene.
But that's why I came here in the first place,
Oh well that and the tea.
Can I stay here,
lying under the table together with you now?
Can I hold you?
Forever in acrylic afternoons
I want to hold you tight
whilst children play outside
and wait for their mothers to finish with lovers
and call them inside for their tea.
Cushions and TV,
and the table set for tea.
One for you, one for me.
Come and lie down on the settee,
in that green jumper,
you can have anything you want.
And the clock is saying,
it's half past four but you know,
I want to stay a little more.
Can I stay here,
lying under the table together with you now?
Can I hold you?
Forever in acrylic afternoons
I want to hold you tight
whilst children play outside
and wait for their mothers to finish with lovers
and call them inside for their tea.
On a pink quilted eiderdown,
I want to pull your knickers down.
Net curtains blow slightly in the breeze.
Lemonade light filtering through the trees.
It's so soft and it's warm.
Just another cup of tea please (one lump thanks).
Can I stay here,
lying under the table together with you now?
Can I hold you?
Forever in acrylic afternoons
I want to hold you tight
whilst children play outside
and wait for their mothers to finish with lovers
and call them inside for their tea.
Oh Kevin, Shane, Julie, Diane, Wayne, Frank,
Heather, Rachel, Chelsea, Leanne, come home.
It's time for your tea.
HAVE YOU SEEN HER
LATELY?
First you let him in your bed.
Now he's moved inside your head.
And he directs all the dreams you are dreaming.
I saw a friend of yours today,
she called me over just to say,
"I dunno if you've seen her lately but God she's looking
rough".
No don't go round to see him tonight,
he's already made such a mess of your life.
Find something else to do with your time,
and do it quickly while you've still got the chance.
Do you think he'll fall apart?
Do you think you'll break his heart?
If you leave him on his own.
You are dreaming.
Cos he can fasten all his clothes,
tie his laces,
blow his nose.
It's time to teach him how to walk,
yeah, teach your baby how to walk away.
No don't go round to see him tonight,
he's already made such a mess of your life.
Find something else to do with your time,
and do it quickly while you've still got the chance.
You're not his mother,
you're not sister & brother.
He's not even your lover.
He's just a piece of luggage you should throw away.
No don't go round to see him tonight,
he's already made such a mess of your life.
Find something else to do with your time,
and do it quickly while you've still got the chance.
No don't go round tonight,
you'll never make it right.
He's already made such a mess of your life.
Find something else to do with your time,
and do it quickly while you've still got the chance.
BABIES

SHE'S A LADY
Are you trying to put me on?
I turned around and it was gone.
Did I leave it in your car?
On a table in a bar?
Or in your bed between the sheets?
The places where we used to meet.
Wherever love has gone I need to know.
Cos she's a woman,
Oh yeah, she's a woman.
Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma she's a lady.
And I just love the way she moves,
the way she moves, Watch her.
When you left,
I didn't know how I was going to forget you.
I was hanging by a thread and then I met her.
Selling pictures of herself to German business men.
Well, that's all she wants to do.
Come on, come on.
I don't want to try too hard.
I don't want to wait too long.
I don't want to live alone,
with all this crap that pulls me down.
Oh, tell me now,
how would it feel,
if I could touch you once again.
Where have you gone, where have you gone.
The moon has gone down on the sun, Oh yeah.
I know that you're coming home.
You wouldn't leave me on my own.
Everybody can't you see,
she's coming back to me.
Whilst you were gone I got along.
I didn't die,
I carried on
I went drinking every night
just so I could feel alright.
Stayed in bed all day to feel OK.
I felt OK.
Oh I felt sick and tired,
yes I did.
She lived at her father's place,
played his records though they jumped.
Wore her body back to front.
I tried hard to make it work,
kissed her where she said it hurt
but I was always underneath.
She's a woman,
Oh yeah, she's a woman.
Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma she's a lady.
And I just love the way she moves,
the way she moves, Watch her.
I don't know why you pretend,
that it causes you pain,
when you know very well,
you're going to do it again.
You're going to do it again
and again
and again
but can you keep it going all nite long?
I know it's going to happen.
It might not be today.
It might not be tomorrow,
or even the day after,
but some time soon, you'll see,
you're going to come back to me.
Whilst you were gone I got along.
I didn't die,
I carried on
I went drinking every night
just so I could feel alright.
Stayed in bed all day to feel OK.
I felt OK.
Whilst you were gone I got along.
I didn't die, I carried on.
Oh yeah I went with other women,
what else can I say?
I guess I kind of missed you,
whilst you were away.
Whilst you were gone.
(stop)
HAPPY ENDINGS
Well, imagine it's a film and you're the star
and pretty soon we're coming to the part
where you realise that you should give your heart,
oh, give your heart to me.
And now the orchestra begins to make a sound,
that goes round & round & round & round &
round
& round & round & round
& round again
we kiss to violins.
Well some sad people might believe in that I guess.
But we know better don't we?
We know all about the mess.
The aftermath of our affair,
is lying all around and I can't clear it away.
No.
And d'you think that it's so easy to find?
Somebody who is just your kind?
Well it might take you a little time,
but I'm going to have to try.
Oh yeah I'm gonna try.
And I know no-one can ever know,
which way to head.
But don't you remember,
that you once said,
that you liked happy endings?
And no-one can ever know,
if it's going to work,
but if you try,
then you might get your happy ending.
DO YOU REMEMBER THE
FIRST TIME?
You say you've got to go home
cos he's sitting on his own again this evening.
I know you're gonna let him bore your pants off again.
Oh God, it's half past eight,
you'll be late.
You say you've never been sure,
though it makes good sense for you to be together.
Still you bought a toy that can reach the places he never
goes.
Oh, now it's getting late.
He's so straight.
Do you remember the first time?
I can't remember a worse time.
But you know that we've changed so much since then,
oh yeah,
we've grown.
Now I don't care what you're doing,
no I don't care if you screw him.
Just as long as you save a piece for me,
oh yeah
You say you've got to go home.
Well at least there's someone there that you can talk to.
And you never have to face up to the night on your own.
Jesus, it must be great to be straight.
Do you remember the first time?
I can't remember a worse time.
But you know that we've changed so much since then,
oh yeah,
we've grown.
Now I don't care what you're doing,
no I don't care if you screw him.
Just as long as you save a piece for me,
oh yeah
PINK GLOVE
You'd better watch what you're wearing,
if you want him to come round and see you tonight.
He doesn't care what it looks like,
just as long as it's pink and it's tight.
Oooh, so what should you do?
Should you stop being you?
Just to be how he wants you?
Oooh, say you'll visit your mum,
then tell me that you'll come,
and meet me in the afternoon.
He's got your heart,
he's got control.
You might as well know.
I know you're never going to be with me,
but if you try sometimes then maybe,
you could get it right first time.
I realise that you'll never leave him,
but every now and then in the evening.
You could get it right first time.
I know you think I've got to be joking,
but if you touch him again then I'm going.
You got it right first time.
Get it right first time.
Now you've done it once now he wants you,
to wear your pink glove all the time.
Oooh, so what should you do?
Should you stop being you?
Just to be how he wants you?
Oooh, say you'll visit your mum,
then tell me that you'll come,
and meet me in the afternoon.
He's got your heart,
he's got control.
You might as well know.
I know you're never going to be with me
but if you try sometimes then maybe,
you could get it right first time.
I realise that you'll never leave him,
but every now and then in the evening.
You could get it right first time.
I know you think I've got to be joking,
but if you touch him again then I'm going.
You got it right first time.
Get it right first time.
Oh you'll always be together,
cos he gets you up in leather.
So you know what to wear at the end of the day,
and I'd laugh if I saw,
but I'm out of the way.
Yeah it's too long ago,
shouldn't care anymore but I wanted to know;
is it as good as before?
Yeah it's hard to believe that you'd go for that stuff,
all those baby-doll nights with synthetic fluff.
Yeah it looks pretty good and it fits you OK,
wear your pink glove babe,
he put it on the wrong way.
I know you're never going to be with me
but if you try sometimes then maybe,
you could get it right first time.
I realise that you'll never leave him,
but every now and then in the evening.
You could get it right first time.
I know you think I've got to be joking,
but if you touch him again then I'm going.
You got it right first time.
Get it right first time.
SOMEONE LIKE THE
MOON
She likes to watch the moon,
as it travels through the sky,
cos she's heard that it's romantic,
though she really can't see why.
Someone should have helped her through the
day.
Someone like the moon.
So she drinks a cup of coffee,
and telephones a friend,
and she asks if she can make it,
so this night will never end.
Someone should have helped her through the
day.
Someone like the moon.
But the light comes,
and the day bleeds through the sky,
and the sun,
the sun makes it hard to get through,
and the radio only plays love songs so she cries,
though she knows it's such a bad thing to do.
In the evening it gets better,
and she thinks how it's not right,
that someone so stupid,
can so easily screw up your life.
Someone should have helped her through the
day.
Someone like the moon.
But the light came,
and the day bled through the sky,
and the sun, the sun made it hard to get through,
and the radio only played love songs so she cried,
though she knew it's such a bad thing to do.
Can't you see?
Can't you see?
Someone should have helped her through the day.
Someone like the moon.
