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
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
COMMON PEOPLE
She came from Greece she had a thirst for knowledge
she studied sculpture at St Martin's college
that's where I
caught her eye
She told me that her Dad was loaded
I said "In that case I'll have rum and Coca-Cola. "
she said "Fine, "
and then in thirty seconds time she said
"I want to live like common people
I want to do whatever common people do
I want to sleep with common people
I want to sleep with common people like you. "
Well what else could I do?
I said "I'll see what I can do. "
I took her to a supermarket
I don't know why, but I had to start it somewhere
so it started there
I said "Pretend you've got no money. "
but she just laughed an said "Oh you're so funny. "
I said "Yeah?
Well I can't see anyone else smiling in here
Are you sure you want to live like common people
you want to see whatever common people see
you want to sleep with common people
you want to sleep with common people like me? "
But she didn't understand
she just smiled and held my hand
Rent a flat above a shop
cut your hair and get a job
Smoke some fags and play some pool
pretend you never went to school
But still you'll never get it right
'cos when you're laid in bed at night
watching roaches climb the wall
if you called your Dad he could stop it all
Yeah
You'll never live like common people
you'll never do what common people do
you'll never fail like common people
you'll never watch your life slide out of view
and then dance, and drink, and screw
because there's nothing else to do
Sing along with the common people
sing along and it might just get you through
Laugh along with the common people
laugh along even though they're laughing at you
and the stupid things that you do
because you think that poor is cool
Like a dog lying in a corner
they will bite and never warn you
Look out
they'll tear your insides out
[something muffled underneath, maybe: I'm sorry,
Mr Dalton, there's no need to be concerned]
'cos everybody hates a tourist
especially one who thinks it's
all such a laugh
yeah and the chip stain's grease will come out in the bath
You will never understand
how it feels to live your life
with no meaning or control
and with nowhere else to go
You are amazed that they exist
and they burn so bright whilst you can only wonder why
Rent a flat above a shop
cut your hair and get a job
Smoke some fags and play some pool
pretend you never went to school
But still you'll never get it right
'cos when you're laid in bed at night
watching roaches climb the wall
if you called your Dad he could stop it all
You'll never live like common people
you'll never do what common people do
you'll never fail like common people
you'll never watch your life slide out of view
and dance, and drink, and screw
because there's nothing else to do
I want to live with common people like you
I want to live with common people like you
I want to live with common people like you
I want to live with common people like you
I want to live with common people like you
I want to live with common people like you
I want to live with common people like you
I want to live with common people like you
Aa-aa-ah la la la la…
Oh yeah.
SORTED FOR E'S AND
WIZZ
Oh is this the way they say the future's meant to feel?
Or just twenty thousand people standing in a field
And I just don't quite understand what this feeling is
But that okay cos we're all sorted out for E's and Wizz
And tell me when the spaceship lands
Cos all this has just got to mean something
In the middle of the night
It feels alright but then tomorrow morning
Ohh Ohh when you come down
Oh yeah the pirate radio told us what was
going down
Got the tickets from some messed up bloke in Camden Town
And no one seems to know exactly where it is
But that's okay, cos we're all sorted out for E's and Wizz
At 4 0'clock the normal world seems very very very far away
Hey hey
Just keep on moving
Everybody asks your name they say we're all the same
And now it's "Nive one, Geezer"-that's far the
conversation
went
I lost my friends, I dance alone, it's 6 o'clock, I wanna
go
home
But it's no way not today, makes you wonder what it meant
And thi hollow feeling grows and grows and grows and grows
And you wanna call your mother and say,
"Mother, I can never come home again because I seem
to have
left
an important part of my brain somewhere in a field in
Hampshire. "
Alright
Ooohh Oohh when you come down
Oohh what if you never come down?
DISCO 2OOO
Well we were born within an hour of each other.
Our mothers said we could be sister and brother.
Your name is Deborah, De-bor-ah. It never suited you.
And they said that when we grew up, we'd get married
and never split up. Oh we never did it, although I often
thought of it.
Oh Deborah, do you recall? Your house was
very small
with wood-chip on the wall. When I came round to call
you didn't notice me at all, and I said: "Let's all
meet up in
the year 2000.
Won't it be strange when we're all fully grown?
Be there two o'clock by the fountain down the road. "
I never knew that you'd get married. I would be living
down here on my own on that damp and lonely Thursday years
ago.
You were the first girl at school to get
breasts and Martin said
that
you were the best. Oh, the boys all loved you, but I was
a
mess.
I had to watch them try and get you undressed. We were friends
and
that's as far as it went. I used to walk you home sometimes
but
it meant;
Oh, it meant nothing to you 'cause you were so popular.
Do it, Oh yeah, Oh yeah. And now it's all
over. You've paid your
money
and you've taken your choice and I know we'll never meet
again.
But Deborah,
I just wanted you to know I remember every single thing.
Oh, what are you doing Sunday, baby? Would
you like to come and
meet me, maybe?
You can even bring your baby. Ooh ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh. What
are you
doing Sunday, baby?
Would you like to come and meet me, maybe? You can even
bring
your baby.
Ooh ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh ooh
SOMETHING
CHANGED
I wrote the song two hours before we met.
I didn't know your name or what you looked like yet.
Oh I could have stayed at home and gone to bed.
I could have gone to see a film instead.
You might have changed your mind and seen your friends.
Life could have been very different but then,
something changed.
Do you believe that there's someone up above?
Does he have a timetable directing acts of love?
Why did I write this song on that one day?
Why did you touch my hand and softly say.
Stop asking questions that don't matter anyway.
Just give us a kiss to celebrate here today.
Something changed.
When we woke up that morning we had no way
of knowing,
that in a matter of hours we'd change the way we were going.
Where would I be now if we'd never met?
Would I be singing this song to someone else instead?
I dunno but like you said
something changed.
HELP THE AGED
Help the aged,
One time they were just like you, drinking, smoking cigs
and
sniffing glue.
Help the aged, don't just put them in a home,
Can't have much fun in there all on their own.
Give a hand, if you can, try and help them to unwind.
Give them hope & give them comfort 'cos they're running
out of
time.
In the meantime we try.
Try to forget that nothing lasts forever.
No big deal so give us all a feel.
Funny how it all falls away.
When did you first realise?
It's time you took an older lover baby.
Teach you stuff although he's looking rough.
Funny how it all falls away.
Help the aged 'cos one day you'll be older too
You might need someone who can pull you through
And if you look very hard behind the lines upon their
Face you may see where you are headed and it's such a lonely
place.
In the meantime we try…
You can dye your hair but it's the one thing you can't change.
Can't run away from yourself.
In the meantime we try…
Funny how it all falls away.
So help the aged…
THIS IS HARDCORE
You are hardcore, you make me hard.
You name the drama and I'll play the part.
It seems I saw you in some teenage wet dream.
I like your get-up if you know what I mean.
I want it bad.
I want it now.
Oh can't you see I'm ready now.
I've seen all the pictures, I've studied them forever.
I wanna make a movie so let's star in it together.
Don't make a move 'til I say "Action. "
Oh here comes the Hardcore life.
Put your money where your mouth is tonight.
Leave your make-up on and I'll leave on the light.
Come over here babe and talk in the mic.
Oh yeah I hear you now.
It's gonna be one hell of a night.
You can't be a spectator. Oh no.
You got to take these dreams and make them whole
Oh this is Hardcore -
there is no way back for you.
Oh this is Hardcore -
this is me on top of you
and I can't believe it took me this long.
That it took me this long.
This is the eye of the storm.
It's what men in stained raincoats pay for
but in here it is pure. Yeah.
This is the end of the line.
I've seen the storyline played out so many times before.
Oh that goes in there.
Then that goes in there.
Then that goes in there.
Then that goes in there.
And then it's over.
Oh, what a hell of a show
but what I want to know:
what exactly do you do for an encore?
Cos this is Hardcore.
A LITTLE SOUL
Hey man,
how come you treat your woman so bad?
That's not the way you do it.
No no no you shouldn't do it like that.
I could show you how to do it right.
I used to practice every night on my wife, now she's gone.
Yeah, she's gone.
You see your mother and me,
we never got along that well you see.
I'd love to help you
but everybody's telling me
you look like me
but please don't turn out like me.
You look like me
but you're not like me I know.
I had one, two, three,
four shots of happiness.
I look like a big man
But I've only got a little soul.
I only got a little soul.
Yeah, I wish I could be an example.
Wish I could say I stood up for you
and fought for what was right.
But I never did.
I just wore my trenchcoat and stayed out every single night.
You think I'm joking?
Well, try me.
Yeah, try me.
Yeah come on, try me tonight.
I did what was wrong though I knew what was right.
I've got no wisdom that I want to pass on.
Just don't hang round here, no, I'm telling you son.
You don't wanna know me.
Oh, that's just what everybody's telling me.
And everybody's telling me
you look like me
but please don't turn into me.
You look like me
but you're not like me I hope.
I have run away form the one thing that I ever made.
Now I only wish that I could show you -
wish I could show a little soul.
Wish I could show a little soul.
PARTY HARD
I used to try very hard to make friends with everyone on
the
planet.
I've seen you havin' it, havin' it yeah
but now you've just had it.
Entertainment can sometimes be hard
when the thing that you love
is the same thing that's holding you down.
This man is dangerous,
he just shed his load on your best party frock.
Before you enter the palace of wisdom you have to decide:
are you ready to rock?
Oh can you party with me?
Can you show me a good time?
Do you even know what one looks like?
And I don't need to hear your stories again -
just get on the floor and show me what you're made of.
Just what exactly are you made of?
Baby, you're driving me crazy.
Baby, you're driving me crazy.
I was having a whale of a time until your uncle Psychosis
arrived.
Why do we have to half kill ourselves just to prove we're
alive?
I'm here whenever you need me
and whenever you need me
I won't be here.
And have you ever stopped to ask yourself?
if you didn't come to party, then why did you come here?
Baby, you're driving me crazy.
Baby, you're driving me crazy.
And do you really want to know
just how come you turned out so dumb?
When the party's over will you come home with me?
Now the party's over will you come home to me.
Will you come home to me?
TREES
I took an air rifle
Shot a magpie to the ground
And it died without a sound
Your skin's so pale
Against the fallen autumn leaves
No-one saw us but the trees
Yeah, the trees
Those useless trees
Produce the air
That I am breathing
Yeah, the trees
Those useless trees
They never said
That you were leaving
I carved your name
With a heart just up above
Now swollen, distorted
Unrecognisable, like our love
You smell of leaf mould
And the sweetness of decay
Or the incense at the funeral procession here today
And the trees
Those useless trees
Produce the air
That I am breathing
Yeah, the trees
Those useless trees
They never said
That you were leaving
Ah
Try to shape the world to what you want the
world to be
Carving your name a thousand times won't bring you back
to me
Oh, no, I might as well
I might as well go tell it to the trees, yeah
Oh yeah, the trees
Those useless trees
Produce the air
That I am breathing
Yeah, the trees
Those useless trees
They never said
That you were leaving
Go and tell it to the trees, yeah
Go tell it to the trees, yeah
Go tell it to the trees, yeah
Go tell it to the trees, yeah
Go tell it to the trees, yeah
BAD COVER VERSION
The word's on the street: you've found someone new.
If he looks nothing like me I'm so happy for you.
I heard an old girlfriend has turned to the church -
she's trying to replace me, but it'll never work.
'Cos every touch reminds you of just how sweet it could
have
been
And every time he kisses you it leaves behind the bitter
taste
of saccharine.
A bad cover version of love is not the real thing.
Bikini-clad girl on the front who invited you in.
Such great disappointment when you got him home -
the original was so good; the one you no longer own.
And every touch reminds you of just how sweet it could have
been
And every time he kisses you, you get the
taste of saccharine.
It's not easy to forget me, it's so hard to disconnect
When it's electronically reprocessed to give a more life-like
effect.
Aah, sing your song about all the sad imitations
that got it so
wrong
It's like a later "Tom & Jerry" when the two
of
them could talk
Like the Stones since the Eighties, like the last days of
Southfork.
Like "Planet of the Apes" on TV, the second side
of
"'Til the Band Comes in"
Like an own-brand box of cornflakes: he's going to let you
down
my friend.
SUNRISE
I used to hate the sun because it shone on everything I'd
done.
Made me feel that all that I had done was overfill the ashtray
of my life.
All my achievements in days of yore range from pathetic
to
piss-poor,
But all that's gonna change.
Because here comes sunrise.
Yeah, here's your sunrise.
I used to hide from the sun,
tried to live my whole life underground.
Why'd you have to rise & ruin all my fun?
Just turned over,
Closed the curtains on the day. But here comes sunrise.
Yeah, here's your sunrise when you've been awake all night
long
And you feel like crashing out at dawn.
But you've been awake all night, so why should you crash
out at
dawn?
LAST DAY OF THE
MINERS STRIKE
Kids are spitting on the Town Hall steps & frightening
old
ladies.
I dreamt that I was living back in the mid 1980s,
People marching, people shouting, people wearing pastel
leather.
The future's ours for the taking now,
if we just stick together.
And I said
"Hey, lay your burden down,
Seems the last day of the miners' strike
Was the Magna Carta in this part of town".
Well my body sank below the ground, it became
as black as night,
Overhead the sound of horses' hooves, people fighting for
their
lives.
Some joker in a headband was still getting chicks for free
And Big Brother was still watching you, back in the days
of '83.
And I said
"Hey, lay your burden down,
Seems the last day of the miners' strike
Was the Magna Carta in this part of town".
Well by 1985 I was as cold a cold could be,
But no-one was underground to dig me out and set me free.
87 socialism gave way to socialising,
So put your hands up in the air once more, the north is
rising…
And I said
"Hey, lay your burden down,
Seems the last day of the miners' strike
Was the Magna Carta in this part of town"
Sing Hallelujah, sing Hallelujah,
Don't let them fool you again, sing Hallelujah.
By now I'm sick & tired of just living
in this hole,
So I took the ancient tablets, blew off the dust,
Swallowed them whole.
Oh come on, let's get together,
Oh come on, the past is gone,
Well the very first Commandment:
Come on, come on,
Let's get it on, come on let's get it on.
Get it on. Get it on.
Hey, lay your burden down,
Seems the last day of the miners' strike
Was the Magna Carta in this part of town.
