BEETLEBUM

Beetlebum

What you done

She's a gun

Now what you've done

Beetlebum

Get nothing done

You beetlebum

Just get numb

Now what you've done

Beetlebum

And when she lets me slip away

She turns me on all my violence is gone

Nothing is wrong

I just slip away and I am gone

Nothing is wrong

She turns me on

I just slip away and now I am gone

Beetlebum

Because you're young

She's a gun

Now what you've done

Beetlebum

She'll suck your thumb

She'll make you come

Coz she's your gun

Now what you've done

Beetlebum

He's on, he's on, he's on it

SONG 2

I got my head checked

By a jumbo jet

It wasn't easy

But nothing is

No

When I feel heavy metal

And I'm pins and I'm needles

Well I lie and I'm easy

All the time but I am never sure

Why I need you

Pleased to meet you

I got my head down

When I was young

It's not my problem

It's not my problem

When I feel heavy metal

And I'm pins and I'm needles

Well I lie and I'm easy

All the time but I am never sure

Why I need you

Pleased to meet you

Yeah Yeah

Yeah Yeah

Yeah Yeah

Oh Yeah

COUNTRY SAD BALLAD MAN

Yeah I found no where

It got to know me

Let me sleep all day

Spent the money

I haven't felt my legs

Since the summer

And I don't call my friends

Forgot their numbers

VIP

223

Have my chances

They have me

Now stay up nights

Watch TV

I'm a country sad

I'm a ballad man

I'm on the come back road

Yeah I'm a blizzard

And in my motor home

Sweat on my pillow all night

I'm a ballad man...

M.O.R.

It's automatic

I need to unload

Under the pressure

Gone middle of the road

Fall into fashion

Fall out again

We stick together

Cause it never ends

Here comes a low

I'm a boy and you're a girl

Here comes a high

The only ones in the world

Here comes everything

You and me will work it out

Here it comes

You Me, we'll work it out

Here comes tomorrow

1 2 3 episodes

Let’s get together

The middle of the road

Cause that's entertainment

It's the sound of the wheel

It rolls on forever

You know how good it feels

Here comes a low

I'm a boy and you're a girl

Here comes a high

The only ones in the world

Here comes everything

We're like monkeys out in space

Here it comes

You Me, we'll work it out

It's automatic

I need to unload

Under the pressure

Gone middle of the road

Fall into fashion

Fall out again

We stick together

Cause it never ends

Here comes a low

I'm a boy and you're a girl

Here comes a high

You're the one that's in the world

Here comes everything

You and me can work it out

Here it comes

You Me, we'll work it out

ON YOUR OWN

Holy man tiptoed his way across the Ganges

The sound of magic music in his ears

Videoed by a bus load of tourists

Shiny shellsuits on and drinking lemonade

Now I got a funny feeling

which I bought mailorder

From a man in a teepee in California

Said he once was that great game show performer

Then he blew all his money away

Blew it all away

So take me home

Don't leave me alone

I'm not that good

But I am not that bad

No psycho killer

Hooligan guerilla

I dream to riot

Oh you should try it

I'll eat parole get gold card soul

My joy of life is on a roll

And we'll all be the same in the end

Then you're on your own (2)

Well we all go happy day glow in the discos

The sound of magic music in our brains

Someone stumbles to the bathroom

with the horrors

Says lord give me time for I've jumped into space

I'm in outer space

So take me home

Don't leave me alone

I'm not that good

But I am not that bad

No psycho killer

Hooligan guerilla

I dream to riot

Oh you should try it

I'll eat parole get a gold card soul

My joy of life is on a roll

And we'll all be the same in the end

Then you're on your own (2)

YOU'RE SO GREAT

Sad drunk and poorly

Sleep in really late

Sad drunk and poorly

Not feeling so great

Wandering lost in a town full of frowns

Sad drunk and poorly

Dogs digging up the ground

And I feel the light in the night and in the day

And I feel the light

when the sky's just mud and grey

And I feel the light when you tell me it's ok

Coz you're so great and I love you

Tea, Tea and Coffee

Helps to start the day

Tea, Tea and Coffee

Shaking all the way

City's alive, a surprise so am I

Tea, Tea and Coffee, get no sleep today

And I feel the light in the night and in the day

And I feel the light

when the sky's just mud and grey

And I feel the light when you tell me it's ok

Coz you're so great and I love you

DEATH OF A PARTY

The death of the party

Came as no surprise

Why did we bother

Should have stayed away

Another night

And I thought well well

Go to another party

And hang myself

Gently on the shelf

The death of the teenager

Standing on his own

Why did he bother

Should have slept alone

Another night

And I thought well well

Go to another party

And hang myself

Gently on the shelf

(repeat)

CHINESE BOMBS

He makes and inner arm block

Then kicks off from behind

The lights they go off

But he can fight blind

Coz he's got the touch

But he won't live long

Coz he comes from Hong Kong

Where people are strong

Chinese Bombs, millions jump

chairman's junk, USA

Won't somebody, won't somebody

Sink this place

Got a cab to go to Soho

The dragon says go

Let everyone know

You got the touch

You come from Hong Kong

Where people are strong

And you won't live long

Chinese Bombs, millions jump

chairman's junk, USA

Won't somebody, won't somebody

Bruce Lee comes to save the day

Bruce Lee comes the Chinese way

I'M JUST A KILLER FOR YOUR LOVE

I heard a man who had no lungs

He took me in and made me lunch

He told me how I'd lost a friend

He smiled at me it was the end

I said

I'm just a killer for your love (4)

I cut my hair off in the road

I take me coat off dropped my load

I wipe my hands on the grass

Coz I know that nothing ever lasts

And I said

I'm just a killer for your love (4)

LOOK INSIDE AMERICA

Good morning lethargy

Drink pepsi is good for energy

The bath's on, smoke in the bedroom

Sore throat and on my neck a nasty bruise

Where it came from, well I don't know

We played last night, it was a good show

Got the play out on a second rate chatshow

It's a nationwide deal, so we gotta go

Chuck from the company says it'll be alright

Got an ad on K-ROQ

and there's an in-store tonight

Well I build things up

Then I let them go

Got to get time share on the radio

Look inside America, she's alright, she's alright

Sitting out the distance

but I'm not trying to make her mine

Looking for America

With it's kooky nights and suicide

Where the TV says it's alright

Coz everybody's hung up on something or other

Steppin' off in 20 so the driver says

I should sleep tonight

but I think I'll watch videos instead

Annie Hall leaves NY in the end

Press rewind Woody gets her back again

And the whole world could have passed thru' me

But I don't know if it means that much to me

And the whole world could have passed thru' me

But I don't know if it means that much to me

STRANGE NEWS FROM ANOTHER STAR

All I want to be is washed out by the sea

No death star over me

Won't give me any peace

All I want is light relief

Put the crazies on the street

Give them guns and feed them meat

Now shoot the death star down

Dig a hole and put it down

Thousand miles underground

They say it's no game

There's strange news from another star

I'm lost, I'm lost

There's strange news from another star

Give me all your stuff

Until I can't get up

Watch the whole world freeze

Counting tin cans in our sleep

Submarines are diving deep

I don't believe in me

I don't believe in me

All I've ever done is tame

Will you love me all the same

Will you love me, thought

Always the same

They say it's no game

There's strange news from another star

I'm lost, I'm lost

There's strange news from another star

MOVIN' ON

At the music heist

I met the gourmet man

With aluminum lungs

Sucks all we can

Seek the whole world go flip

In a stunt bug style

With a cellulite pile

But he can smile

This is the music

And we're movin' on, we're movin' on

We're sticky eyes and sticky bones

You get no time on your own

You get a dose and a ghost

You get it coast to coast

Dye your hair black

Get Satan tattooed on your back

Pierce yourself with a coke can

Put yourself in fake tan now you're in a band

Coz this is the music

And we're movin' on, we're movin' on

Hey this is the music

And we're movin' on, we're movin' on

No matter how low, there's always further to go

We're movin on, we're movin on

We're movin on, it won't be long

We're movin on, it won't be long

ESSEX DOGS

I remember thinkin' murder in the car

Watching dogs somersault

through sprinklers on tiny lawns

I remember the graffiti, we are your children

coming in with spray cans of paint

I remember the sunset and the plains of cement

And the way the night seems to turn the colour

of orangeade

In this town cellular phones are hot with thieves

In this town we all go to terminal pubs

It helps us sweat out those angry bits of live

From this town the English Army grind

their teeth to glass

You'll get kicked tonight

Smell of puke and piss

Smell of puke and piss on your stillettoes

Here comes that panic attack

My heart stops, then it starts

Give me a drink

I'll drink you round

I'll take you round the pole

It's cold up here

You'll catch the flu or you'll catch the city

Either way you'll catch the flu

Or you'll catch the city

DANCEHALL (bonus track from Japanese album)

There are ghosts in here

An easy laze

They dance all night

With a vacant gaze

They stand in rows

And buy alcohol

We're havin fun at the dance hall

I've got my pills and I've got my toys

Like pin up girls and pin up boys

My lips are froze to another can

I could kill him, but I just kiss his hand
