No Monsters in Me

Gary Golf stops all the clocks
With night nurse slippers and socks
He tries to keep his thoughts clean
By washing with Listerine
A little peck on the cheek
In dazzed pajamas and sheets
Keep the light on I'm not tired
I want to read my Dick Francis
Dirty fraulines and nasty nazis

La la la la, la la la la, there are no monsters in me
La la la la, la la la la, there are no monsters in me

Car alarms letting off steam
Gary hears them in his dreams
Panic outside is seeping in
Just easy listening to him
Turns in his sleep and smiles to himself
There are no monsters in me
Cause Gary's out on the green
No growing pains for him
Cause Gary Golf ball eyes is not in.

One Born Every Minute

Here we go (here we go) here we go again
Dirty knickers pop music vodka and gin
Your knees are sore you must've been in the wars
There's something to celebrate in our lives and
Here's where it begins

Oh well see how we've grown
One is born every minute
You're never never alone
One is born every minute of the day

Dosey clocks to cause the volitile tots to
Sleep together if or never we're on this then
Oh here we go (here we go) here we go again
Dirty knickers pop music vodka beer and gin.

Peach

Chemical waste
Best part of the beach
You're always the way you are
What of that going to close you in
You got a gaping hole in your head
I'd let the birds nest there instead
Aha aha aha aha

A gun in your pocket
And hair in a locket
Around your neck
From the girl you once loved
Where is she now, youÕve gone crazy
You've got a gaping hole in your head
I'd let the birds nest there instead
Aha aha aha aha

You've got a gaping hole in your head
I'd let the birds nest there instead
I'd let the birds nest there instead
I'd let the birds nest there instead
I'd let the birds nest there instead
Aha aha aha aha

Peter Panic

Hello Peter Panic
You've landed on our planet
What a strange thing you are
With little pissy eyes
You got in the television
Turned us all old and wisened
Then disappeared
To a distant star
And we remember you as

Peter Panic
Who lives forever
Peter Panic
As light as a feather
And he says it's ok
When you blow him away
He'll be back for you some other day
When you're running out of sugar

He left his secret with the chemist
Who made it taste very pleasant
Now everyone
Has gone to his star
Happy to be with...

Polished Stone

Now I fall to the ground
I can't get up well never mind
You'll pull me up by my bones and say
I'm sand to polish stones

Today's gone it won't be long before we fall asleep
And forget what we've done
Won't get up 'cause the day is fucked
We're alone

Now you bite my tongue when the alcohol's done
I won't feel a thing
So you don't carry on

Today's gone and it won't be long before we fall asleep
And forget what we've done
Won't get up 'cause today is fucked
We're alone

It's love
It's love
It's love

Red Necks

(Alex) - Rollin, rollin,
(Graham) - Yeah, Are we?

(Graham) - Howdy boys.
Alright, ya'll, let's sit real comfy, with your real comfy 10-gallons on the back of your head.

Just relax. Okay here we go, boys. . .

I'm a trucking redneck and I just refuse to die. [he wont die]
I was built big and strong on the state's best apple pie.
I'm better than those limey pinheads in Europey,
12-gauge at their backs, hell, would stop their moping.
I'm a trucking redstop, and I just refuse to die.

(Alex) - Graham, you will never die

(Alex) - That's what I call chemistry.

(Graham) - You're American, you ain't even gonna die.
You play billards, you write that down.
You ain't never gonna die.
Good lord above will take care of that.

I get free coffee fill-ups at my favorite Denny's place.
Find a couple of tea bags and I kick them in the face.
Sure is damn good thumpage in that waitress' ass.
When I go on tour, I'm gonna get me a pass.
Hell, don't want no fucking limey,
gettin' on my goddamn case.

(Alex) - That's in the east wood, you got to go to the wood and go east.
(Graham) - Go west brother.
We sure showed them in Jim sum.

Any of, uh, my,
the boys here want to say something to the audience at home?

(Alex) - Well, you've grown up and I obviously haven't.

(Damon) - . .so funny. .

(Graham) - Woo! I hope you go on happy with your Miller's Coors Lite

(Alex) - I've got every Beatles record.

Swallows in a Heatwave

I want to contribute to natural selection
Buy myself a razor
Watch swallows in the heatwave
Need beloved leaders
There comming cos' they need us
I don't have a history for religion
Going out to get one
Get into the volvo
Drive into the mountains
Watch swallows in the heatwave

The Man Who Left Himself

All good people
Your time will come
Work forever
And still not be done
Close your tired eyes
No one knows you've gone
It's not forever
But today you've become
The man who left himself

Don't belong here
Your heart beats too fast
Feel the miss-beat
It starts and it stops
Don't be frightened
These things never last
Maybe tomorrow
Your time will have past

It's the man who left himself
The man who left himself

(Love anyone...)

Theme From an Imaginary Film

What if I told you I love you
What if I called you with rhythm
In this world there's nothing that's left
Well nothing that's new

What if I told you without you
Loving is limply a lie
Although she moves into the night
Oh tell me your mine
Please say it's true

Oh shame is over
I was the light and the days of them all
Well push me over
I'm flat on my back and having a ball
And just look who's laughing

What if I flew like a dove dear
What if I would you in rhythm
There's nothing left
Nothing that's good left for me now

Oh I'll just go and sleep with strangers
I'll live like a lord in a tower
'Cause in the city there's too much air
That I can't dream at night
Well not anymore

Oh shame it's over
It been such fun and we had a ball
Well push me over
But I'll be the last of people to fall
Well just look who's laughing

Oh shame it's over
How like a cow bloated on grass
Well push me over
Me on my back and you on your arse
Such a shame it's all over
There are so few days left to grasp
So push me over
We on our back and you on your lazy arse
Well just look whose laughing

Threadneedle Street

The time has come
Not to be cautious
He must be careful not to make mistakes
For every half hour
In twenty-four

And operations rose
Faster than they did yesterday
And the lending rates on your side
So there won't be
Much of a problem

Then past midnight
There is a rise
When everybody's asleep at home
He becomes nervous
And sees a change

Today Futures

Watch the markets from the street
In a pocket in a grey flannel suit
Read tomorrow's crash today
And check your pulse

Base metals crawled onto the kerb
And softs dropped in a summer turn
And sugar melted in the mouth
Of a rude girl
Who knew a better option

She thinks for a while
And it could be
A long time before he thinks again
And then he looks at the papers
And looks again

Today Futures

Ultranol

For coughs and colds and scabby holes
Itchy pimples, unseemly moles
For funny turns and Chinese burns
For aching heads we're most concerned
For staying lively getting it nightly
This we guarantee

That's ultranol here's the new remedy
Before you go to bed take 2 or 3
When you wake up you'll feel better

For aches and pains and jellied brains
Help you sleep and smile again
They're aimless blameless almost nameless
You get much more all though you pay less

Revitalise that sexual drive
In fact be born again

Yes ultranol will put you on the map
take 4 or 5 then have a little nap
When you wake up you'll feel better

For coughs and colds and your scabby holes
Keep you young although you are feeling old
If you're not protected you're gonna get it
So suck them and see you won't regret it

Suck them and see

When the Cows Come Home

Good morning
Wake up

Wake up with purpose and polite efficiency
Stuff vitamin pills down your health guarantee
A kiss and cuddle with a lucky girl
You get fed and watered
Makes your hair curl

And when the day draws in
You put on a record
Put on something gentle
And wait for the cows to come home

Wake up a little voice says
To you eagerly
You mustn't let yourself sink financially
Don't listen to the accusation that you're tight
You could be the first man on your street to get it right

And when the day draws in
You going to go into waltz time
For once it was a good time
Wait for the cows to come home
All your life

Ha da de da da
Ha da de da da
Ha da da de da
Ha da de da da da

Wake up with purpose and polite efficiency
So you get fed and watered with good company
And when the day draws in
You go into waltz time
For once it's a good time
Wait for the cows to come home
All your life

Won't Do It

So much to be and so much to see
There's very little here for me
It's really hard to get through
So won't do it anymore
Don't feel it anymore
Won't do it anymore
Can't feel it anymore

There's so much I'd like to say
You're not bothered either way
It's really hard to talk to you
So won't do it anymore
Don't do it anymore
Won't do it anymore
Can't feel it anymore

Woodpigeon Song

Disingenuous intake
Everybody makes mistakes
Sometimes
Woodpigeon
In strip light
Does it every night

It's a feeling that«s around
It's a feeling that«s around
Woodpigeon
In strip light
Does it every night

Young & Lovely

Friday's child is planning to go out for the first time
Says
Don't worry Mum
I won't be out that late
Done me playing those passive games right now
They're out of date
You're awfully sweet
Haven't got the time
Growing up so fast
Got better things to do

You can get what you want
So young and lovely

Kicking around in the centre of the town
Looking in shop windows
Those mannequins
Look far too real at night
Friday's child doesn't know if it's awake
Or if it's dreaming
Says
Don't worry Dad
I'll do my bit
I'll raise the flag
I'll be just like you

You can get what you want
So young and lovely

Don't worry Mum
I'm not that dumb
I'll be just like you

Oh, no, why
Why d'you do it?
