A Thousand Trees
Standing at the bus stop with my shopping in my hands
And I'm overhearing elder ladies
As the rumours start to fly
You can hear them in the school yard
In the scrap yard
In the chip shop
In the phone box
In the pool hall
At the shoe store
Every corner turn around
It started with a school girl
Who was running
Running home to her Mam and Dad
Told them she was playing, in the change room of the local foorball side
They said tell us again, she told them again, tell us the truth, they find it hard to believe
'Cause he taught our I was steve, he even trained me, taught our John who's a father of three
Only takes one tree, to make 1000 matches
Only takes one match, to burn A thousand trees
A thousand trees
You see it in the classroom
In the swimming pool
Where the match stick men are made
At the scout's hall
At the football
Where the wise we trust are paid
They all honour his name
He did a lot for the game
Got his name knocked up above the sports ground gates
But they're ripping them down, stamping the ground
Picture gathers dust behind the bar in the lounge
Only takes one tree, to make a thousand matches
Only takes one match, to burn a thousand trees
A thousand trees
Wake up, and smell the rain
Shake up, he's back to stay
He hasn't been on a holiday
His growing seeds don't believe
Why he's been away
From the school yard
Changing room
Playing field
Bathroom
Phone box
Office blocks
Corners turn around
They keep doubting the flame, tossing the blame
Got his name knocked up above the sports ground gates
And they're ripping them down, stamping the ground
Picture gathers dust in the bar
Only takes one tree, to make a thousand matches
Only takes one match, to burn A thousand trees
A thousand trees
A thousand trees
A thousand trees
Looks Like Chaplin
I feel the wash, close down the street,
Yet Chaplin walks, feet nine fifteen,
And I hear them, hear them, call his name,
And I see him, see him, turn away,
They take him in and clean him up
They take him in, and strip him down,
They dry his skin and feed him wine,
And I hear them, hear them, call his name
And I see him, see him turn away,
Asks to use the phone, yet he lives alone, he lives alone
There's no-one, no-one home to phone,
Sits alone at home, he calls his home his own,
His wife is still unknown
More Life in a Tramp's Vest
I get camping eyes in the final hour,
Last minute shoppers picking cauliflower,
The fuss they make, you'd swear they were buying a car,
They always moan, moan it's not so cheap,
Cheaper still, cheaper still down the street,
Lose my rag and tell them take your bag and shop down there,
Closing down, they're closing down another road,
One-way system steals the show,
Mac The Knife swigs a can and sings the day away
There's more life, more life, more life in a tramps vest
There's more life, more life, more life in a tramps vest
The flower man sits down in the street,
Surrounded by, stock he bought back last week
Bring back the ladies wearing lipstick on their teeth,
Make up, we make up a crappy joke,
Sit back, relax and have a smoke,
Mac The Knife swigs a can and sings the day away,
There's more life, more life, more life in a tramps vest
There's more life, more life, more life in a tramps vest
There's more life, more life, more life in a tramps vest
There's more life, more life, more life in a tramps vest
I get camping eyes in the final hour,
Last minute shoppers picking cauliflower,
Mac The Knife swigs a can and sings the day away
There's more life, more life, more life in a tramps vest
There's more life, more life, more life in a tramps vest
There's more life, more life, more life in a tramps vest
There's more life, more life, more life in a tramps vest
Local Boy in the Photograph
There's no mistake, I smell that smell,
It's that time of year again, I can taste the air
The clock's go back, railway track,
Something blocks the line again,
And the train runs late for the first time,
A pebble beach, we're underneath,
A pier just been painted red
Where I hear the news for the first time
And all the friends lay down their flowers,
Sit on the banks and drink for hours
Talk of the way they saw him last,
Local boy in the photograph today
He'll always be twenty three,
Yet the train runs on and on,
Past the place they found his clothing
Bah bah bah bah bah
Bah bah bah, bah bah
There's no mistake, I smell that smell,
It's that time of year again, I can taste the air
The clock's go back, railway track,
Something blocks the line again,
And the train runs late for the first time today,
And all the friends lay down their flowers,
Sit on the banks and drink for hours
Talk of the way they saw him last,
Local boy in the photograph, today
He's gone away
Traffic
We all face the same way, still it takes all day,
We all face the same way, still it takes all day,
I take a look to my left, pick out the worst and the best,
She paints her lip, greasy and thick, another mirror stare
And she's going where?
Another office affair? to kill an unborn scare?
You talk dirty to a priest? it makes them human at least,
But is she running away? to start a brand new day?
Or she going home? why's she driving alone?
Is anyone going anywhere?
Everyone gotta be somewhere
She got a body in the boot? or just bags full of food?
Those are models legs but are they women's are they men's?
She shouts down the phone, missed a payment on the loan,
She gotta be above the rest, keeping up with the best
Is anyone going anywhere?
Everyone gotta be somewhere
Waits tables for a crook? you wrote a hard back book?
You teach kids how to read? or sell your body on the street?
A nurse without a job? another up-town snob?
But have I got you all wrong? one look and you were gone
Is anyone going anywhere?
Is anyone going anywhere?
Is anyone going anywhere?
Every one gotta be somewhere
I take a look to my left, pick out the worst and the best,

Not Up To You
Salt grips the road, awaits his lift again,
Street orange glow, shades the odds against,
One more sip, a shoe, a miss, a shaving nick, one extra kiss,
Who's to know, whatever?
Not up to me, not up to you
Not up to me, not up to you
The swings don't swing, the park's been dead for years
How do you know the last swing weren't the last for good,
Hard book on freaks, fresh summer peach,
Creased magazine, sugar chocolate treat,
Who's to know whatever?
Not up to me, not up to you
Not up to me, not up to you
The streets so long where she lost her pocket purse,
Kept the last picture of the man she committed first,
Cracked windscreen rain, French murder play,
Junk take away, tired street parade,
Who's to know, whatever? whatever
Not up to me, not up to you
Not up to me, not up to you
Ha whatever
Not up to me, not up to you
Not up to anything we do
Not up to me, not up to you
Ahh you
Ahh you
Ahh you
Its not up to me,
Its not up to you
Its not up to you
Its not up to you
Its not up to you
Check My Eyelids for Holes
Gotta lose weight
I swallow honey, is my stand up show still that funny
am I back for good?
I said that I, said that I would be
she's down waist low trying to make me happy
because I like watching you
it's time I tried tried to check my, check my eye lids, check for holes
two weeks late I gotta test for babies
shop take is falling low, I'm not going back, back to the factory's
because I like what I do
it's time I tried tried to check my, check my eye lids
check for holes.
Same Size Feet
A week's too long not to ring,
Re-colours her hair and waits for him,
No cat against dog, just head over heels,
Sex twice a date, best time in years,
Oh no, why hasn't he phoned,
She has to wait until he's on his own,
Lying and denying till no-body knows,
I'll tell her this week is what he tells her to keep her on loan,
He'll buy her one day,
Sex drives, oral highs, cheated wives and spies
Cream cakes, coffee dates, floral gifts, goodbye.
Passed away, for the day, had a change of kind
Sex change, too mundane for the average mind
Ha no, she just can't see,
Where he is or where he's been
Looked prim and straight like she's always been,
All that she saved for, went missing again
She could be,
She could be,
She could be wrong
She could be,
She could be,
She could be wrong
She could be,
She could be,
She could be wrong
It looks like it looks like it looks like the words got round
They found a body in the lake,
Maybe it wasn't really his name,
Same colour, same weight, same size feet,
It's the not knowing that kills you,
Oh no the clock's stopped slow every time your on your own,
You hide from the spies so nobody knows,
Scratch through the pages of a lazy days news for a clue,
Still looking for you
Last of the Big Time Drinkers
Ten minutes flat after a bad day in the factory,
I'm drinking like a dog in the sun,
I don't need to eat or sleep a wink, at the weekend,
Just rot my guts
And I can't wait for my next drink,
The first one is gonna sink, I'm the last of the big time drinkers,
I take pride in my work, I'm the last of the big time drinkers
The beer don't taste the same without my name painted on my glass
I don't live to work I work to live,
And live at the weekend, and maybe spend a week in the sun,
I come home, wet the bed, throw my sheets out the window,
And Sunday morning comes
And I can't wait for my next drink,
The first one is gonna sink, I'm the last of the big time drinkers,
I take pride in my work, I'm the last of the big time drinkers
The beer don't taste the same without my name painted on my glass
And I can't wait for my next drink,
The first one is gonna sink, I'm the last of the big time drinkers,
I take pride in my work, I'm the last of the big time drinkers
Just give me hops or the slops, I'm the last of the big time drinkers
I take pride in the work, I'm the last of the big time drinkers glass
Goldfish Bowl
Same long faces in the work-mans hall,
Caramel Crisp counts his birds,
Cliff Chips lines up his dominoes,
Kingfisher lead singer calms his nerves
I'm drinking, sinking, swimming,
I'm drowning, working, smirking, learning,
I'm burning, sleeping, thieving, cheating,
Beating, I'm eating, I'm deep in a goldfish bowl,
It's sink or swim
The hall down town just burnt to the ground,
My boxing ring turned to ash,
Red-head, ginger bread, sells tickets at the door,
Stella sleep walks in the sand
I'm drinking, sinking, swimming,
I'm drowning, working, smirking, learning,
I'm burning, sleeping, thieving, cheating,
Beating, I'm eating, I'm deep in a goldfish bowl,
It's sink or swim,
Looking in, They're looking in
Hard up, outta luck, time to ride the village bike,
A bike been used ten times or more,
Grape vine, here's the wife, lays down her royal flush,
I think I've lost another wife
I'm drinking, sinking, swimming,
I'm drowning, working, smirking, learning,
I'm burning, sleeping, thieving, cheating,
Beating, I'm eating, I'm deep in a goldfish bowl,
It's sink or swim,
They're looking in, its sink or swim
Too Many Sandwiches
Shopping spree for the family tree,
Haven't seen your family tree in quite a while,
Too many sandwiches and wine,
Sherry stains down your best mans tie, what a speech,
The band arrives, the granny's cry,
The singer's tongue's in the barmaid's mouth what a voice,
Grandpa drank a drop or two,
And his heads still sunk in the portaloo, what a man
You bought a sequin dress for your chicken breast,
The disco's late and he's overpaid tonight,
You got a diamond ring and a man who sings,
The man who sings made love to the barmaid twice,
And that's just tonight
The blue rinsed hairs, lift up their chairs,
The band's too loud, they're off downstairs,
What a noise,
The bride and groom dance, they dance that dance,
And the singer mimes, there's still a chance,
The barmaid smiles
You bought a sequin dress for your chicken breast,
The disco's late and he's overpaid tonight,
You got a diamond ring and a man who sings,
The man who sings made love to the barmaid twice,
And that's just tonight
Ha na na, ha na na
Ha na na,
Ha na na, ha na na
You bought a sequin dress for your chicken breast,
The disco's late and he's overpaid tonight,
You got a diamond ring and a man who sings,
The man who sings made love to the barmaid twice,
Ha, Grandpa drank a drop or two,
His heads still sunk in the portaloo again,
The bride and groom dance, they dance that dance,
And the singer mimes, there's still a chance, tonight,
And the barmaid smiles
Billy Davey's Daughter
I never knew her name,
I only knew her fame,
She lived near my town,
Another goldfish to drown,
I just passed the bridge,
That parts us from them,
The bridge that she used, again and again, again
I remember when they found her,
Billy Davey's daughter,
The word gets around
Billy Davey's second daughter threw herself to dirty water,
Billy's left with nothing but a dream,
Billy Davey's second daughter threw herself to dirty water,
Billy's left with nothing but a dream,
He dreams, dreams, dreams, dreams
He dreams, dreams, dreams, dreams
The word gets around
Roll Up And Shine
Why don't you take a look inside my mouth
Why don't you take a look at yourself
So why don't you take a look around
So why don't you take a look inside
Roll out the shock parade
Free falling from a stage
Performance and cocktails
Roll up and shine
I hang the devil from a circus wire
Face up seats four in love spittin fire
So why don't you take a look around
So why don't you take a look inside
It's time to live it's time to love
It's time to do what's afraid of
It's time to breathe time to relieve
It's time to shine
So why don't you take a look around
So why don't you take a look inside
The Bartender And The Thief
When you think about it,
He's watching every word you say, hey, dazed.
And when he's sussed you out
He calls her up and out she comes and hustles us
Long digging, gone fishing, love drinking
The bartender and the thief are lovers,
Steal what they need like sisters and brothers,
Met in a church a night to remember,
Robbing the graves of bodies dismembered
He watched the lesbian talk,
She kissed and groaped but mostly talked in lust, crushed
He couldn't make the call,
His eyes were gripped on licking tongues,
Enough's enough, failed for once
Long digging, gone fishing, love drinking
The bartender and the thief are lovers,
Steal what they need like sisters and brothers,
Met in a church a night to remember,
Robbing the graves of bodies dismembered
Long digging, gone fishing, love drinking
The bartender and the thief are lovers
Steal what they need like sisters and brothers,
Met in a church a night to remember,
Robbing the graves of bodies dismembered,
Saved what they stole to meet at the alter,
Place where they first set eyes on each other,
Flew to the sun to start life all over,
Set up a bar and robbed all the locals
Hurry Up And Wait
Wait to wake to get a ride in the rain,
Buy a ticket they can check, we can claim
So we don't spend what's our own,
For a seat, a place to stop,
A green light, a red cross,
Run around naked doing old things like the ones before
For a break so you can take a little something,
That'll make your next break,
Come a little quicker than the ones before,
For an answer, spy a sweet dancer,
As she walks from the door of the hall,
Wish you waited for your wedding vows
So hurry up and wait
But what's worth waiting for?
So hurry up and wait
But what's worth waiting for?
We wait to get warm, the car starts from cold,
Stall to make a first move,
Magazines make the rules to make us lose,
For your dream man, the house you could both plan,
The car in the sales ad,
The wet dream with a man you wished that you had
So hurry up and wait
But what's worth waiting for?
So hurry up and wait
But what's worth waiting for?
A watched pot never boils, sugar second to dissolve,
See your appetite lost, foods relevance lost inside
Wait to get there, and when we get there,
We wait around for anyone to tell us what we even got there for
So hurry up and wait
But what's worth waiting for?
So hurry up and wait
But what's worth waiting for?
What's worth waiting for?
What's worth waiting for?
What's worth waiting for?
What's worth waiting for?
So join the queue,
Me and you,
Wait in line,
It takes our time to be satisfied...
Pick A Part That's New
I've never been here before,
Didn't know where to go,
Never met you before,
I've never been to your home,
That smells not unknown,
Foot steps made of stone,
Walking feels familiar
You can do all the things that you like to do,
All around, underground, pick a part that's new,
You can do all the things that you like to do,
All around, upside down, pick a part that's new.
People drinking on their own,
Push buttons on the phone,
Was I here once before?
Is that my voice on the phone?
That last drink on my own,
Did I ever leave at all?
Confusions familiar
You can do all the things that you like to do,
All around, underground, pick a part that's new,
You can do all the things that you like to do,
All around, upside down, pick a part that's new.
You can do all the things that you like to do,
All around, underground, pick a part that's new,
You can do all the things that you like to do,
All around, upside down, anything that's new.
You can do all the things that you like to do,
All around, underground, pick a part that's new,
You can do all the things that you like to do,
All around, upside down, pick a part that's new.
So what's new to you?
What's new to you?
What's new to you?
Just Looking
There's things I want,
There's things I think I want,
There's things I have,
There's things I wanna have,
Do I want the dreams?
The ones were forced to see?
Do I want the perfect wife?
The word perfect, ain't quite right
Shopping every day, take it back the next break,
They say the more you fly,
The more you risk your life
I'm just looking,
I'm not buying,
I'm just looking,
Keeps me smiling
A house I've seen,
Another coulda' been,
You drenched my head,
And said what I said,
You said that life is what you make of it,
Yet most of us just fake
I'm just looking,
I'm not buying,
I'm just looking,
Keeps me smiling
I'm just looking,
I'm not buying,
ooh, I'm just looking,
Keeps me trying
I'm just looking,
I'm not buying,
ooh, I'm just looking,
Keeps me smiling
There's things I want,
There's things I think I want,
There's things I have,
There's things I wanna have,
They say the more you fly,
The more you risk your life
Well I'm just looking,
I'm not buying,
I'm just looking,
Keeps me smiling
Half The Lies You Tell Ain't True
You could lick or chew,
Tongue in style tonight,
Champagne drag queen suit,
Pinstripe outta line, it's time to try how,
Blisters on your feet,
Blisters up your spine,
If I could choose from two
I'd mime to be a smile, ha ha ha ha
But when you rely on a lie that's true,
And no one believes in the things you do
Cause half of the lies you tell ain't true,
I'm gonna find out, I'm gonna find a piece of...
You could pick and lose,
Diesel dreams for crime,
I should win and choose,
Colours undersize,
A naked fake that's,
Face that fits for two,
Sex brings out the spies,
Hanging from your feet,
Hollywood star style, ha ha ha ha
But when you rely on a lie that's true,
And no one believes in the things you do
Cause half of the lies you tell ain't true,
I'm gonna find out, I'm gonna find a piece of you
But when you rely on a lie that's true,
And no one believes in the things you do,
Cause half of the lies you tell ain't true,
I'm gonna find a piece of you
But when you rely on a lie that's true,
No one believes in the things you do
Cause half of the lies you tell ain't true,
I'm gonna find a, I'm gonna find a, I'm gonna find a piece of you
I Wouldn't Believe Your Radio
Traveling through, a tunnel under sea,
You never know, if it cracks in half,
You're never ever gonna see me
But you can have it all if you like,
You can have it all if you like,
And you can pay for it the rest of your life... life...
I wouldn't believe your wireless radio,
If I had myself a flying giraffe,
You'd have one in a box with a window
But you can have it all if you like,
You can have it all if you like,
And you can pay for it the rest of your life... life...
Life in the summers on it's back,
You have to agree that that's the crack,
So take what you want,
I'm not coming back
So you can have it all if you like,
You can have it all if you like,
You can have it all if you like,
You can have it all if you like
And you can pay for it the rest of your life... life... life... life...
T-Shirt Sun Tan
He was walking round to you,
One said French afternoon,
So he called in to a shop for two,
He bought himself an ice drink,
A totally tropical nice drink,
Then he saw what he thought was you in a room
He thought about going over,
But you were always much older,
And your sex dressed breasts, impressed too,
He'd really like to get it together,
Before the twelth of never,
So he's coming over
It's when all the phases come around the clothes you wear,
The sex and love it's enough for the time outta touch out of luck
He always liked them older,
So that his top lip touched on her shoulder,
Lionized undisguised kill for you,
Like to show you his t-shirt sun tan,
Love to show you his minute head stand,
Then a gun spun open
It's when all the phases come around, the clothes you wear,
The sex and love it's enough for the time outta touch out of luck
It's when all the phases come around the clothes you wear,
The sex and love it's enough for the time outta touch out of luck
From you to me, to me to you
From you to me, to me to you
From you to me, to me to you
From you to me, to me to you
It's when all the phases come around, the clothes you wear,
The sex and love it's enough for the time outta touch out of luck
It's when all the phases come around the clothes you wear,
The sex and love it's enough for the time outta touch out of luck
Out of luck, hey hey heya
Is Yesterday,Tomorrow,Today?
It's another way, to get through the day,
Picking up ripped cigarette boxes hoping that one remains
Yellow lucky day, suck deep and bathe,
For the next ten minutes spent coughing all the pleasures craved
Write down all the things that you'd like to say,
Write down all the things that you'd like to change,
Write down all the places you'd like to stay,
Write down anything that you want
Is yesterday, tomorrow, today?
Is nothing gonna change the way?
Cracked rock top wall, left the ash to fall, left alone to wait,
I've never looked at things I've liked only things I hate
You're not the first today, not the softest face,
Was there any that you liked? was there any that you didn't fake?
Write down all the things that you'd like to be,
Write down all the things that you don't believe,
Write down all the places you'd like to see,
Write down anything that you want
Is yesterday, tomorrow, today?
Is nothing gonna change the way?
Because, everything that's you,
And the things that you like to do,
And all of the things that are,
Come back again, come back again,
Come back again, come back again,
Come back again,
Is yesterday, tomorrow, today?
A Minute Longer
They're calling out, come on lets go,
But I'm miles away to a year before,
Laughs from the glass, drank to the past,
On the old green seat, like velvet to the hand
Think I'd like to stay a minute longer
Would you like to stay a minute longer?
Last one for some, sick from the rum,
I played golf on the carpet with someone,
Crash back to date, few things I hate,
But I'd rather us live in the present day
Think I'd like to stay a minute longer
Would you like to stay a minute longer?
Think I'd like to stay a minute longer
Would you like to stay a minute longer?
If you like I'll stay a minute longer
If you like I'll stay a minute longer
Its longer,
Its longer,
Its longer,
Longer
She Takes Her Clothes Off
She's got another fantasy,
She lives in flat number twenty three,
Picked first prize for carnival queen,
And now she takes her clothes off,
Collects the covers off her magazines,
She longs to be another teenage dream,
The problem is she's turning forty three,
She still takes her clothes off
Got the nick-name porta bubble Joan,
They found her dead, dead as nails at home,
And she said, I'm gonna be another Marilyn,
Bleach my hair, and get real thin,
And everybody's gonna wanna dance with me
She loved to have her little fantasies,
She longed to be the wife of Jimmy Dean,
But Jimmy's head sits in Jimmy's knees,
She loved to take her clothes off
Police are looking round at twenty three,
They found her hanging from her swollen feet,
They saw her dance last in Woolworth street,
She loved to take her clothes off
Got the nick-name porta bubble Joan,
They found her dead, dead as nails at home,
And she said, I'm gonna be another Marilyn,
Bleach my head, and get real thin,
And everybody's gonna wanna dance with me
Everybody's gonna wanna dance with me,
Everybody wants to be the carnival queen,
Everybody's gonna wanna dance with me,
Everybody wants to be the carnival king or queen,
We all read the books, she takes her clothes off,
One by one, one by one, off again
Plastic California
Plastic California, looks like Blackpool outta date,
Some love, some hate,
It's all your competition,
It's not my occupation, true,
But it's what you do
Some love, some hate,
Some love, some hate,
I like pink architecture,
Flip back my red strip deck chair,
Prove, we got nothing to prove,
Gin stroke amnesia problems,
Overhearing talk of Hollywood,
We wish we could, you should
Some love and some hate,
Some love and some hate,
la la la la
la la la la
It's a beautiful place for nature,
And all the beautiful people make it true,
You look good as you
Some love and some hate,
Some love and some hate,
Makes me feel great,
Makes me feel great,
I feel new, d'you feel new? ha, ha,
D'you feel new? ha, ha,
D'you feel new? ha, ha, ha, ha
Well I'm pleased to meet you
I Stopped To Fill My Car Up
I stopped to fill my car up,
The car felt good that day,
I didn't know where I was going,
But it felt good for a change
A five and a pocket full of silver,
I paid the lady no change,
And then it started to piss down,
I started driving again,
And then I looked up,
And looked in the mirror behind me,
And then I looked up,
And looked in the mirror behind me
A man round forty in the backseat,
Must have stepped in when I was empty,
So why's he sat there just waiting?
Likely to smash my face in
He had a bag full of money,
He said just drive me away,
I didn't know where I was going,
But it felt good to be strange
And still I look up,
And look in the mirror behind me,
And still I look up,
And look in the mirror behind me,
Curiosity is over, I stepped down from the car,
He pulled a gun from his jacket,
Said I was going to die
It gives me so much satisfaction,
To watch you beg and cry,
Well I just made up this story,
To get your attention makes me smile
I never looked up,
or looked in the mirror behind me,
I never looked up,
or looked in the mirror behind me.

Lying In The Sun
I wish I could lie in the sun,
The same things as anyone,
I wish I could lie down there,
With my feet high in the air,
I'd have a drink in my hand,
Read words from a newspaper stand,
I wish I could lie in the sun,
Wish I could fly like everyone,
Same things as anyone,
Same things as anyone,
But you burn me up, you paint my skin,
In bad designs, that aint even in,
My skin's crawling up the wall,
Into the ocean I'd love to fall,
I hear the sounds but they ain't the same,
As feeling them with you, two feet away,
There's always more worse off than me,
Suppose I'm lucky I can even see,
All the people that I'd like to be,
Passing me by everyday in the street,
Same things as anyone,
Same things as anyone,
But you burn me up, you paint my skin,
In bad designs, that aint even in,
I got good lungs, I've got a good heart,
My mind is fit and my feet can walk,
And here I am in the shade on the street,
Asking people for money to eat,
What did I ever do to deserve this?
Did I kill a child or something worse?
Same things as anyone,
Whats the reason, maybe make you feel,
How much more fortunate you are than me
La la la laaaa
La la la la la laaaa laaaa
La la la la la laaaa
La la la laaaa
La la la la la laaaa laaaa
La la la la la laaaa
Mr Writer
You line them up, look at your shoes,
You hang names on your wall, then you shoot them all,
You fly around in planes that bring you down, to meet me,
Who loves you? like me crashing to the ground,
Are you so lonely? you don't even know me,
But you'd like to stone me,
Mr Writer, why don't you tell it like it is?
Why don't you tell it like it really is?
Before you go on home,
I used to treat you right, give you my time,
But when I turned my back on you,
Then you do what you do,
You've just enough, in my own view, education to perform,
I'd like to shoot you all,
And then you go home, with you on your own,
What do you really know?
Mr Writer, why don't you tell it like it is?
Why don't you tell it like it really is?
Before you go on home,
And then you go home, with you on your own,
What do you even know?
Mr Writer, why don't you tell it like it really is?
Why don't you tell it like it always is?
Before you go on home,
Mr Writer, why don't you tell it like it really is?
Why don't you tell it like it always is?
Before you go on home.
Step On My Old Size Nines

Step on my old size nines and I'll take you round,
Around,

Have A Nice Day
San Francisco bay, past pier thirty nine,
Early p.m. can't remember what time,
Got the waiting cab, stopped at the red light,
Address unsure of, but it turned out just right,
It started straight off, "coming here is hell"
That's his first words, we asked what he meant,
He said "where ya' from?" we told him our lot,
"When ya' take a holiday, is this what you want?"
So have a nice day,
Have a nice day,
Have a nice day,
Have a nice day,
Lie around all day, have a drink to chase,
"Yourself and tourists yeah, that's what I hate",
He said "we're going wrong, we've all become the same,
We dress the same ways, only our accents change",
So have a nice day,
Have a nice day,
Have a nice day,
Have a nice day,
Heeeeeeeeeeeyyyy,
Heeeeeeeeeeeyyyy,
Ba badada ba ba babada,
Ba badada ba ba babada,
Swim in the ocean, that be my dish,
I drive around all day, and kill processed fish,
Its all money gum, no artists anymore,
You're only in it now, to make more, more, more,
So have a nice day,
Have a nice day,
Have a nice day,
Have a nice day,
So have a nice day,
Have a nice day,
So have a nice day,
Have a nice day,
Have a nice day,
Have a nice day,
So have a nice day,
Have a nice day
Nice To Be Out
He asked me "so where have you been?",
Let me think, now let me see,
I was stood once where Hitler's feet
Had stood when he made his speech in Nuremberg in '38,
When he tried to build the perfect race,
He said "black men ain't gonna run, along side our perfect son's"
There's Dallas too, the library,
The place they ended Kennedy,
We stood were Oswald took his shot,
In my opinion there's a bigger plot,
Costner's back and to the left, the picket fence, the better bet,
Paris came and summer went, the tunnel's now a flower bed,
The famous turf that made Geoff Hurst,
The vodka stops to quench my thirst,
The golden gate stroke Alcatraz, the fat man failed to get us passes,
Jimmy's corner in "Raging Bull", De Niro's jokes and bottle pills,
Elvis tales from Mr Woodward,
Any Richard Burton, if you could
The tourists stare at tourist stops,
One more picture one more god,
Another top up for a change, it makes you think, it makes you sane,
Talking more about yourself, there's a mirror to have a check,
Cheques are always passing through some depart, but a lot come too,
Restaurant talk or pick your teeth,
Bite your tongue or chew your meat,
Sleep or drink or drink to sleep,
And one more week and we will meet,
We'll talk of what we haven't done,
Since we departed back a month,
We argue why we have to shout,
All in all it's nice to be out
Handbags And Gladrags
Ever seen a blind man cross the road,
Try'na make the other side,
Ever seen a young girl growing old,
Try'na to make herself a bride,
So what becomes of you my love,
When they have finally stripped you of,
The handbags and the gladrags,
That your poor old Granddad had to sweat to buy you,
Once I was a young man,
And all I thought I had to do was smile,
Well you are still a young girl,
And you bought everything in style,
So once you think you're in, you're out,
'Cause you don't mean a single thing without,
The handbags and the gladrags,
That your poor old Granddad had to sweat to buy you,
Sing a song of six-pence for your sake,
And drink a bottle full of rye,
Four and twenty blackbirds in a cake,
And bake them all in a pie,
They told me you missed school today,
So what I suggest you just throw them all away,
The handbags and the gladrags,
That your poor old Granddad had to sweat to buy,
They told me you missed school today,
So what I suggest you just throw them all away,
The handbags and the gladrags,
That your poor old Granddad had to sweat to buy you.
Watch Them Fly Sundays
I'd just like to say,
I remember the day,
I first woke with you,
Some days you have to admit,
The way we happened to meet was strange,
Because it was new,
I'm not drinking no more,
I'm not drinking no less,
Not sleeping at all,
Never in the same bed,
Undressed at the bar,
Engraved bench in the park,
We'd watch them fly Sundays,
Fly, the birds round my head, again,
Laughed at the words you sent,
I pushed the boat back to you,
I flew from the rain, again,
Killed you with what I said,
You already knew
I'm not thinking no more,
I'm not drinking no less,
Not sleeping at all,
Never in the same bed,
Undressed at the bar,
Engraved bench in the park,
We'd watch them fly Sundays,
They say, if something should fly away,
And flies back to you again,
Then its yours
Everyday I Think Of Money
I drive a truck, it carries money,
And everyday, I dream up my fantasies,
Yesterday I bought my beach house, a little place just off the coast of France,
Everyday I think of money,
Everyday I think of running,
I love my truck, I love my family,
Stacked in the back, the good life surrounds me,
Could tie my right hand man, and put him some place,
Then I'd ditch the truck and I'd buy a new face,
Everyday I think of money,
Everyday I think of some way,
Can't buy you a love, Can't give you a soul,
Can pick you up, can down you low,
Can drag you out of the hole, that you dug yourself, out of, again,
Sat in a truck, it carries convicts,
My hands are bound, to the seat by hand-cuffs,
Tomorrow I'll maybe walk around the yard,
Or paint in my cell, and hate imprisonment,
Everyday I think of money,
Everyday I miss my family,
Maybe
Maybe one thing,
Maybe something,
Maybe nothing,
All I know is friend,
Its nothing new,
Maybe its me,
What is to be,
Maybe lucky,
All, I ask is where,
We're supposed to be
I give a lot,
I take a lot,
Its nothing new to me,
Maybe you've grown,
Am I so wrong?,
How longs to long?,
All I want is stuff,
To be happy,
Maybe moving,
Always proving,
Am I losing all,
That's meant to be?
That's meant to be?
You hear a lot,
You're told a lot,
Its nothing new to me,
Maybe laughing,
Something lacking,
Always sometimes,
All I hear, is how its meant to be,
Maybe learning,
Always searching,
Am I asking things,
I'll know to soon?,
I'll know to soon?,
You talk a lot,
Don't do a lot,
Its nothing new to me,
I give a lot,
You take a lot,
Nothing new to me,
Ha, Its nothing new to me
Ha, Its nothing new to me
Haaaaaa
Haaaaaa
Caravan Holiday
Seven day holiday in the rain, its June
At the time we were plain old me and you,
It didn't matter that the sky came down,
I never really felt like going out,
Seven days watching rain inside with you,
Saturday watched the game, you fried our food,
Nothing busy, nothing easy but something you,
It didn't matter that we couldn't eat out,
My ship sank and my shoe's were damp,
Seven days hearing rain inside with you,
There's always time to complain about the weather,
Seasons change in a day just like each other,
But we wait for summer,
Seven day holiday in the rain with you,
Lie awake, drinking late is all that's left to do,
Not a sound but the rain on the pale blue roof,
I didn't matter that we couldn't sleep out,
I never really felt like sleeping rough,
Seven day holiday drinking dry with you,
There's always time to complain about the weather,
Seasons change in a day just like each other,
But we wait for summer,
Seven day holiday in the rain with you,
Seven day holiday in the rain with you.
Rooftop
Standing on the rooftop,
Trying to clear my mind,
I only came up to look,
But now there's such a crowd,
Don't feel that bad,
Can't help but laugh,
And they cry out,
"Say jump" and I say, "How high?",
I feel my body blowing,
From every side to side,
My mind can't help but knowing,
What it feels like to fly,
Don't feel that bad,
Can't help but laugh,
And they cry out,
"Say jump" and I say, "How high?",
"Say jump" and I say, "I might",
And they cry out,
And they cry out,
"Say jump" and I say, "How high?",
"Say jump" and I say, "I'll try",
"Say jump" and I say, "Goodbye",
"Say jump" and I say, "How high?",
High,
Fly,
Fly
I'm just standing on the edge of,
Something I should try to hide from,
I don't know much, but I know some things,
I need to try find me a way,
Try I only come out fighting,
I don't feel I should deny them,
Can help knowing what is down there,
Feels like I should fly now for them,
Fascinated,
Mis-educated,
It's reincarnation,
Of my imagination,
I'm far away from here today,
It's where I'll stay,
Forget my worries,
Lying awake,
It makes me sing,
It makes me sick,
But I can't change again.
Help Me (She's Out of Her Mind)
Dancing
In the mirror
You could see her from a mile man
She was alright
She looked right over her shoulder
Right at me
I was falling through the floor now
She came, over me
Help me, oh help me,
She's out of her mind
Help me, oh help me
Somebody tonight
Laughing, all night
She could tell a funny story
She could stay up all night
She was someone to remember
She was black and white
We did it on a sunbed
And she did it right
Help me, oh help me,
She's out of her mind
Help me, somebody
Oh help me, tonight
Prancing, around a low lit light
Running rags over her shoulders
Red chilli lights
She drink you underneath the table
She hold you heavenly tight
Slap you right across ya white face
She make you cry like a child
Help me, oh help me,
She's out of her mind
Help me, oh help me
Somebody, tonight
Crazy, out of her mind
You wanna shoot her wanna love her
You can't make up your mind
You wanna tell her all your stories
Wanna open your mind
You wanna show her how your heart works
But she ain't got the time
You're fighting, all the time
There's nothing working, nothing gaining
Just a waste of time
You're trying hard to remember
All the beautiful times
But yer clouded by the bullshit
All of the time
Loving, on a Saturday night, making love under a blanket
With the telly on loud
You wanna show her that you love her
But there's sex on ya mind
Makin' love from watching movies
I think I'm doin' it right
Help me, oh help me
She's out of, her mind
Help me, so help me
Somebody tonight
Maybe Tomorrow
I've been down and
I'm wondering why
These little black clouds
Keep walking around
With me
With me
It wastes time
And I'd rather be high
Think I'll walk me outside
And buy a rainbow smile
But be free
They're all free
So maybe tomorrow
I'll find my way home
So maybe tomorrow
I'll find my way home
I look around at a beautiful life
Been the upperside of down
Been the inside of out
But we breathe
We breathe
I wanna breeze and an open mind
I wanna swim in the ocean
Wanna take my time for me
All me
So maybe tomorrow
I'll find my way home
So maybe tomorrow
I'll find my way home
So maybe tomorrow
I'll find my way home
So maybe tomorrow
I'll find my way home
So maybe tomorrow
I'll find my way home
So maybe tomorrow
I'll find my way home
Madame Helga
Mary Mary where you been
You've been out all night
You ain't got no sleep
I've been dancing in the hills
At a place I know
She said 'and that's the place
Where the fire flies glow'
Had to slap my white face
Pull my head from the clouds
And I kept
Buying and, lying and flying, relying and dying
To know what spins her world around
Good morning I missed ya
But ya bring me down
I saw an Indian roller
Today on the line
It was the forty eighth hour
We fought our forty eighth fight
Madame Helga's folly
Is where I spent last night
She's been married not once
Not twice, but three
And that's the livin' lovin' woman
I want me to be
There were pictures and paintings
Of freaks like me
So I drank with my devil
For my company
Had to slap my white face
Pull my head from my clouds
And I kept
Buying and, lying and flying, relying and dying
To know what spins her world around
Good morning I missed ya
But ya bringing me down
I saw an Indian roller
Today on the line
It was the forty eighth hour
We fought our forty eighth fight
Madame Helga's folly
Is where I spent last night
Good morning I missed ya
But ya bringing me down
I saw an Indian roller
Today on the line
It was the forty eighth hour
We fought our forty eighth fight
Madame Helga's folly
Is where I spent last night
Moviestar
Idolise tabloid lives
From God to art
We need a star
You're in my soul
You're in my mind
I walk on water every night
Moviestar, don't know where you are
Moviestar, don't know who you are
I love your taste
I love your shape
I love the things about you all the critics hate
You fill my soul, I once was blind
You turn my water into wine
Moviestar, don't know where you are
Moviestar, don't know who you are
You don't know what it's like needing you
You don't know what it's like needing you
You don't know what it's like needing you
Oh you're such a star
You get me high
You blow my mind
You make my mundane life all worthwhile
Give me reason
Give me rhyme
Do anything for you, just give me a sign
Moviestar, don't know where you are
Moviestar, don't know who you are
Moviestar, don't know where you are
Moviestar, don't know who you are
Moviestar, don't know where you are
Moviestar, don't know who you are
Don't know where you are
You Stole My Money Honey
You stole my money honey
You're cold your blood's stopped running
And know you're buying your new life
Can't help but find you funny
The clothes you wear are something
You made your whole life boasting lies
Pretend you're high and something
To think, you think I'm dumb, you're blind!
I'll get by fine without you
I lie about you
You got no spine only mine
Don't you know wrong from right
It's up to you
You're such a fool
See I'm a giver, taker!
You liked your cocaine chaser
The girls you love all sleep around
You got a piece of something
But what it's worth is nothing
Coz what you want you just can't buy
Pretend you're high on something
To think you think I'm dumb, you're blind
I'll get by fine without you
I lie about you
You got no spine only mine
Don't you know wrong from right
You got no style about you
I try to like you
I got no time for you now
Cos your time's running out
It's up to you
You're such a fool
I'll get by fine without you
I lie about you
You got no spine only mine
Don't you know wrong from right
You got no style about you
I try to like you
I got no time for you now
Cos your time's running out
It's up to you
It's up to you
Such a fool
It's up to you
Getaway
Remember when we were angels
Before we stole cars
And when sex and drugs
Lived up in another world... not a care in the world
Hide and seek, kissing and running
Till you were out of breath
In the late night day sun
Until you Mamma called you home... and you didn't wanna go
Fly
High
Be my getaway
Gotta getaway
Fly
High
Be my getaway
Gotta getaway
Coppers, robbers, cowboys and Indians
Hanging round the corner
Of the street you lived
How come it felt so far away... just a stone throw away
Your best friend wasn't someone you worked with
And money from your old man
Would burn a hole in yer pocket all day...
Not a single debt to pay
Fly
High
Be my getaway
Gotta getaway...
Climbing the Wall
I'm just lying here
Thinking to myself again
I'm round the bend
I've been driving round
Talking to myself again
Not making no sense
What makes you and
What makes me
What makes men lie
Through their teeth
And what makes ten-ton birds
Fly me across the sea
And who's to say, that if the sun went out today
That all the movie stars would drive their cars away
Fallen angels from their pay cheques on parade
What's going down?
What's going around?
I'm climbing the wall
I'm just standing here
Looking at myself again
I'm going blind
I'm just sitting here
Playing with myself again
It's turning me on
So what makes you and what makes me
What makes women lie through their teeth
And what makes ten-ton ships
Sail me across the sea
And who's to say, that if the sun went out today
That all the movie stars would drive their cars away
Fallen angels from their pay cheques on parade
What's going down?
What's going around?
I'm climbing the wall
So what makes you and what makes me
What makes people lie through their teeth
And what makes ten-ton trains
Rail me under the sea
And who's to say, that if the sun went out today
That all the movie stars would drive their cars away
Fallen angels from their pay cheques on parade
What's going down?
What's going around?
I'm climbing the wall
Jealousy
Jealousy my devil
Jealousy my hell
Jealousy insomnia
Jealousy sleep well
Innocence is heaven
Innocence is hell
Innocence in everyone
Innocence is dead
Four and twenty black boys
Singing in the street
Getting high on most things
Wishing they were free
My angel, my devil
My hell, my heaven
My storm, my calm
My photograph, my palm
Four and twenty white boys
Singing in the the street
Getting high on most things
Wishing they were free
I've been your preacher
I've been your boy
I've been your teacher
I've been your joy
I've been your drunk
I've been your home
I've been your rock
You've been my stone
Four and twenty poor boys
Singing in the street
Getting high on most things
Wishing they were free
I'm Alright (You Gotta Go There to Come Back)
I'll drink another drink for you
One, two, three, four, five, once I drank a fish alive
I'll drop another pill for you
Six, seven, eight, nine, ten, did it before, I'll do it again
I'll tell another joke for you
Did you hear the one about the one that looks like you
I'll sleep with sleep arounds for you
Why don't you scratch my back and chew the tongue I chew
I'm alright
I'm alright
I'll tell another lie for you
Tell you what you wanna hear, but that don't make it true
I'll wear another smile for you
That way you know I'm fine, and having fun with you
I'll draw another line for you
That way you know I'm hip, that way you know I'm cool
I'll smoke another smoke for you
I'll blow back in your mouth and you can blow back too
I'm alright
I'm alright
You gotta go there to come back
I'll take another punch for you
Tie my hands behind my back, that way you cannot lose
I'll make another pound for you
So you can drive your motor car, and drive you to the moon
I'm alright
I'm alright
You. Me. Us. Free... we're alright, alright
Love. Pain. Hate. Rain... we're alright, alright
Give. Take. Time. Place... we're alright, alright
Nothing Precious at All
I been people watching again
I think they watch me too
There's a new girl at the coffee house
She's got first day blues
She's got red hair and a motorbike
And lime green shoes
A mohair hat and a summers dress
And black tattoos
And then she fly away
In her high heel feet
And her fire dress
And she's throwing things
That took her time to save it up
And buy what's special
Then she look around
And sees what's left
And it's nothing much
Nothing precious at all
Nothing precious at all
Gonna drink herself to sleep tonight
And that's nothing new
She goes out almost nine every night
And gets high as the moon
She takes photographs of American cars
Where she went to school
She likes fireworks and candlelight
And fake bad news
And then she fly away
In her high heel feet
And her fire dress
And she's throwing things
That took her time to save it up
And buy what's special
Then she look around
And sees what's left
And it's nothing much
Nothing precious at all
Nothing precious at all
Nothing precious at all
Is she a loner or a mother's girl
That's up to you
She got fine lines round her tired eyes
And they're painted blue
She could sleep around with anyone
If she wanted to
Gotta go my time is up right now
Got stuff to do
Rainbows and Pots of Gold
I heard you're doing well
Selling art and everything
I like you're stuff; good for you
I'll buy a piece, maybe two
Do you ever think of me?
Do you remember all our stupid dreams?
Rainbows and pots of gold
So much to prove before we got old
I took you places round the world
I miss you're face sometimes you know
You took my picture a thousand times
I bought them back; I don't mind
I lost my way but found my track
I'm sorry if I never listened back
I've been around; I've been up and down
And you missed the one we dressed like clowns
And how's your car? How's your life?
How's my friend? When's she gonna be your wife?
I'm sitting up writing down
Things I sometimes dream about
I knew your number off by heart
That's the only one I liked to talk
It wasn't me using you
I trusted you one of the few
And we had some laughs, had some rows
But in the end the walls came down
You'd like the place I'm living now
It's a shame you can't come around
I've grown a lot since we last spoke
Got myself together; fixed what was broke
I wonder if we'll talk again
Or drink together just like then
I suppose it's different now it's new
Whoever points the finger at who
I really hope you're happy both of you
And maybe sometimes you miss me too
I Miss You Now
I feel numb, wanna hold you
Wanna tell you that you'll be alright
Sad news from today's call
Alling the pictures are all in my mind
I miss you now
Older we're getting older
Are all my old friends gonna leave me and die
I'm helpless, it's gonna get us, before it gets us
I wanna kiss you goodbye
I miss you now
High as the Ceiling
Come on get up high as the ceiling
Get up on the floor
Think I lost my mind and my feeling
Did it all before
Find my way
Free my soul
Lined and loaded
Blind and stoned
It's time......
If you think you'll make a fool out of me
I got a little something up my sleeve
I can think of better places to be
So get yourself down on the street
Come on take my hand if you need me
Just knock up on my door
You got to stop your mind from dreaming
And live your life some more
Find my way
Free my soul
Wine and water
Shine light on my time......
If you t
