For Tomorrow
He's a 20th century boy,with his hands on the rail
Trying not to be sick again and holding on for tomorrow
London ice cracks on a seamless line he's hangin on for dear life
So we hold each other tightly and hold on for tomorrow
Singing la la la la la,holding on for tomorrow
She's a 20th century girl,with her hands on the wheel
Trying not to make him sick again
Seeing what she can borrow
London's so nice back in your seamless rhymes
But we're lost on the westway
So we hold each other tightly and hold on for tomorrow
Trying not to be sick again and holding on for tomorrow
She's a 20th century girl hanging on for dear life
So we hold each other tightly and hold on for tomorrow
Jim stops and gets out of the car
Goes to a house in Emperors Gate
Through his door and to his room
Then he puts the TV on,turns it off
Makes some tea,says modern life is rubbish
Then Susan comes into the room
She's a naughty girl with a lovely smile
Says let's take a drive to Primrose Hill
It's windy there and the view's so nice
London ice can freeze your toes
Like anyone I suppose
Advert
It's 6 o'clock on the dot and I'm half way home
I feel full mouthed as I stand and
Wait for the underground and a nervous
Disposition doesn' agree with this
I need sth to remind me that there is sth else
You need a holiday somewhere in the sun
With allthe people who are waiting there
Never seems to be one say sth,say sth else
Advertisments are here for rapid persuation
If you stare too long you lose your appetite
A nervous disposition doesn't agree with this
You need fast relief from aches and stomach pains
Do you advert think?
Colin Zeal
Colin zeal knows the value of mass appeal
He's a pedestrian walker,he's a civil talker
He's an affable an with a plausible plan
Keeps his eye onthe news keeps his future in hand
And then he looks at his watch,he's on time yet again
He's pleased with himself,so pleased with himself
He's pleased with himself ah ah
While sitting in traffic,Colin thinks in automatic
He's a modern retard with a love of bomblast
Keeps his eye on the news,never dwells on the past
He's a modern retard,he's a terminal lard
He's an affable man with a carrotene tan cos Clin Zeal is ill
Pressure on Julian
Only the magical children sing the lullaby bah bah
Sitting on the pavement sucking on a long straw
It's colorful,but it washes you out
Here is my violence and here is the excuse
I learnt it all but only second hand
Falling into walls well,what is it with you?
You'd never know,never know,never know
We planned it all this way,we plannned it all
This way, pressure on Julian
Swimming in yellow pissy water
Sand getting in between the ears
No blood in head in this bloody weather
Irritate people with yellow tongues
There was pressure on Julian
Pushing trolleys in the car park
From B to A then back to B
Pressure on Julian,he keeps passing out
Poor litlle snout,the birds are singing at night
Pressure on Julian
Starshaped
Keeps a clean mental state
Dont usually bother in cold weather
But still I'm getting into work late
And I dont need the practice
I've been making plans (for the future)
Become an unconcious man (all for the good)
Feel so unecessary (we dont think so)
You seem starshaped
I have a couple at the weekend
Helps keep up commaraderie
And my mind boggles in the muddle
At the possibilities
Wash with new soap behind the collar
Helps keep down the laundry
And now I bother in cold weather
Because it cleans me mentally
Blue Jeans
Air cushioned soles,I bought them
On the Portobelloroad on Sunday
I stop and stare a while,a common passtime
When conversation goes astray
But dont think I'm walking out of this
She doesn't mind,whatever I say
Dont really want to change a thing
I want to stay this way forever
Blue,blue jeans I wear them everyday
There's no particular reason to change
My thoughts are getting banal I cant help it
But I wont pull out hair another day
You know it's to be with you
Chemical World
The pay-me girl has had enough of the bleeps
So she takes a bus into the country
Although she got herself rosy cheeks
She didn't leave enough money to pay the rent
What a shame she was just getting comfy
Now she's eating chocolate to induce sleep
In a chemical world it's very,very cheap
And I dont know about you
They're putting the holes in yes,yes
It's been a hell of a do
They've been putting the holes in
Peeping Thomas has a very nice view
Across the street at the exhibitionist
These townies they never speak to you
Just stick together so they never get lonely
Feeling lead feeling quite light-headed
Had to sit down and havesome suger tea
In chemical world,in a chemical world it's very cheap
Sunday sunday
Sunday Sunday here again in tidy attire
You read the color supplement,the TV guide
You dream of protein on a plate
Regret you left it quite so late
Together the family to eat the table
To eat enough to sleep oh the Sunday sleep
Sunday Sunday here again a walk in the park
You meet an old soldier and talk of the past
He fought for us in two world wars
And says the England he knew is no more
He sings songs of praise every week
But always falls asleep for that Sunday sleep
You dream of protein on a plate
Regret you left it quite so late
Together the family around the table
To eat enough to sleep and
Mother's pride is your epithet
That extra slice you'll soon regret
So going out is your best bet then
Bingo yourself to sleep oh that
Sunday sleep.
Oily Water
Lead in me and me in water
Dangling in my word
I swallowed to much oily water
It keeps slipping down my spine
In a sense of self decline
Growing fat on sound it's only
An early morning dream and the
Whole world will be alright
My head is full of suspition
I'm coming home sometime
I've swallowed too much oily water
It keeps slipping down my spine
In a sense of self decline
Lying on my back it's only an
Early morning dream and so
The world will be alright
Miss america
Miss America sitis in the shower
She's plucking hours from the sky
Picks up the telephone into another home
Dont ask me why
I ont mind,I dont mind at all
I love only you
She's a well wisher an she
Wishes you well,wish away
She's no jellybean,she's a jemima ho
Wish away,wish away
I dont mind,I dont mind at all
I love only you
Here is here and I'm here
Where are you?Far away,far away
She's no jellybean,she's Jemima ho ho
Wish away,wish away
Villa Rosie
Practise doesn't make perfect
When you're inerbreeding
Speaking drivel can it get confused
With heavy breathing
Mixing drinks at water holes
Get snarled up in the suburbs
Meandering through this and that
You are suspected of vagueness
When work is done go to Villa Rosie
Every night(we're here waiting)
So form a queue at Villa Rosie every night
Across the common every day
You come across the fine line
But wearing boots can prevent
The leeches in the long grass
Eating betwen meals stifles
The appetite,is it healthy?
And all the while at Villa Rosie every night
We're tasting a sweeter life at Villa Rosie
Every night(so tasty)
All loosers come to Villa Rosie
Every night(we're waiting)
So forma queue at Villa Rosie
Every night(so tasty)
Dont break your back at Villa Rosie
Every night(we're tasting)
A sweeter life at Villa Rosie
Every night(so tasty)
Coping
Primal evil,what am I?
Tongue-tied untill the day I die
There's no moove made with mermaids
It's just a distration or so they say
But I'm trying to care about it
Can't you see it in my face,my face?
When I feel this strange
Can I go through this again?
It's a sorry state you're getting in
The same excuse is wearing within
There's no self control left in me
What was not will never be
Turn It Up
Kazoo kazoo you're mine
I give you my heart everytime
Turn it up,turn it off,turn it in
Anyway you choose,anyway you choose at all
Sometimes you do too much
Sometimes it all gets too much
Resigned
I think too much
On things I want too much
It makes me hateful
And I say stupid things
Only you can fill my blank heart
And I'm resigned to that
I wish the sun
And I'm resigned to that
I'll forget to breathe someday
I've never stopped to think why
