Panic

Panic on the streets of London Panic onthe streets of Birminghan I wonder to myself Could life ever be sane again On the Leeds side-streets that you slip down I wonder to myself Hopes may rise on the Grasmeres But Honey Pie, you“ve not safe here So you run down To the safety of the town But there“s Panic on the streets of Carlisle Dublin, Dundee, Humberside I wonder to myself Burn down the Disco Hang the blessed D.J. Because the music that they constantly play It says nothing to me about my life Hang the blessed D.J. Because the music they constantly play On the Leeds side-streets that you slip down On the provincial towns that you jog“round Hang the D.J., Hang the D.J., Hang the D.J. Hang the D.J., Hang the D.J., Hang the D.J. Hang the D.J., Hang the D.J., Hang the D.J. Hang the D.J., Hang the D.J., Hang the D.J.

Ask

Shyness is nice, but Shyness can stop you From doing all the things in life That you“d like to So, if there“s something that you“d like to try If there“s something that you“d like to try Ask me - I wont say "no" - How Could I? Coyness is nice, but Coyness can stop you from saying all the things in life that you want to So, if there“s something that you“d like to try If there“s something that you“d like to try Ask me - I wont say "no" - How Could I? Spending warm, Summer days indoors Writing frightening verse To a buck-toothed girl in Luxembourg Ask me, Ask me, Ask me Ask me, Ask me, Ask me Because if it“s not Love Then it“s the Bomb That will bring us together Nature is a language-can“t you read? Nature is a language-can“t you read? Ask me, Ask me, Ask me Ask me, Ask me, Ask me Because if it“s not love Then it“s the Bomb That will bring us together

London

Smoke Linger“s round your fingers Train Heave on - to Euston Do you think you“ve made The right decision this time? You left Your tired family grieving And you think they“re sad because you“re leaving But didn“t you see the Jealousy in the eyes Of the ones who had to stay behind? And do you think you“ve made The right decision this time? You left Your girlfriend on the plataform With this really ragged notion that you“ll return But she knows That when he goes He really goes So do you think you“ve made The right decision this time?

Bigmouth Strikes Again

Sweetness, sweetness I was only joking when I said I“d like to smash every tooth in your head Sweetness, sweetness I was only joking when I said by rights you should be bludgeoned in your bed and now I know how Joan of Arc felt now I know how Joan of Arc felt as the flames rose to her roman nose and her Walkamn started to melt Bigmouth, bigmouth bigmouth strikes again and I“ve got no right to take my place with the Human race Bigmouth, bigmouth bigmouth strikes again and I“ve got no right to take my place with the Human race and now I know how Joan of Arc felt now I know how Joan of Arc felt as the flames rose to her roman nose and her hearing aid started to melt Bigmouth, bigmouth bigmouth strikes again and I“ve got no right to take my place with the Human race

Shakespeare“s Sister

Young bones groan And the rocks below, say: "Throw your skinny body down, son!" But I am going to meet the one I love So, please don“t stand in my way Because I“m going to meet the one I love No, Mamma, let me go! Young bones groan And the rocks below, say: "Throw your white body down!" But I am going to meet the one I love At Last! At Last! At Last! I am going to meet the one I love La-de-da, la-de-da No, Mamma, let me go! I though that if you had An acoustic guitar Then I meant that you were A Protest Singer Oh I can smile about it now But at the time it was terrible No, Mamma, let me go

There Is A Light That Never Goes Out

Take me out tonight where there's music and there's people who are young and alive driving in your car I never never want to go home Because I haven't got one anymore take me out tonigh because I want to see people and I want to see lights Driving in your car oh please don't drop me home because it's not my home, it's their home, and I'm welcome no more and if a double-decker bus crashes into us to die by your side such a heavenly way to die and if a ten-ton truck kills the both of us to die by your side the pleasure and the privilege is mine take me out tonight oh take me anywhere, I don't care and in the darkened underpass I thought Oh God, my chance has come at last (But then a strange fear gripped me and I just couldn't ask) take me out tonight take me anywhere, I don't care just driving in your car I never never want to go home because I haven't got one I haven't got one

Shoplifters of the World Unite

Learn to love me Assemble the ways Now, today, tomorrow and always My only weakness is a list of crime My only weakness is... well, never mind Shoplifters of the world Unite and take over Shoplifters of the world Hand it over Hand it over Hand it over Learn to love me Assemble the ways Now, today, tomorrow, and always My only weakness is a listed crime But last night the plans of a future war Was all I saw on the Channel Four Shoplifters of the world Unite and take over Shoplifters of the world Hand it over Hand it over Hand it over A heartless hand on my shoulder A push - and it's over Alabaster crashes down (Six months is a long time) Tried living in the real world Instead of a shell But I was bored before I even began I was bored before I even began Shoplifters of the world Unite and take over Shoplifters of the world Unite and take over Shoplifters of the world Take over

Half a Person

Call me morbid, call me pale I“ve spent six years on your trail Six long years On your trail Call me morbid, call me plae I“ve spent six years on your trail Six full years of my life on your trail And if you have five seconds to spare Then I“ll tell you the story of my life: Sixteen, clumsy and shy I went to London and I I booked myself in at the Y...W.C.A. I said:"I like it here - can I stay? I like it here - canI stay? And, do you have a vacancy For a Back-scrubber?" She was left behind, and sour And she wrote to me on the hour She said:"In the days when you were hopelessly poor I just liked you more.." So if you have five seconds to spare Then I“ll tell you the story of my life: Sixteen, clumsy and shy I went to London and I I booked myself in at the Y...W.C.A. I said:"I like it here - can i stay? I like it here - can I stay? And do you have a vacancy For a Back-scrubber?" Call me morbid Call me pale I“ve spent too long on your trail Far too long Chasing your trail And if you have five secons to spare Then I“ll tell you the story of my life: Sixteen, clumsy and shy That“s the story of my life Sixteen, clumsy and shy The story of my life That“s the story of my life That“s the story of my life That“s the story of my life

Stretch Out and Wait

Off the high-rise estates What“s at the back of your mind Your face i can see And it“s desperately kind But what“s at the back of your mind? Two icy-cold hands conducting the way It“s the Eskimo blood in my veins Amid concrete and clay and general decay Nature must still find a way So ignore all the codes of the day Let your juvenile impulses sway This way and that way This way and that way God, how sex implores you To let yourself lose yourself Stretch out and wait Stretch out and wait Let your puny body lie down, lie down As we lie, you say As we lie, you say Stretch out and wait Stretch out and wait Let your puny body lie down, lie down As we lie, you say: Will the world end in the day time? (I really don“t know) Or will the world end int night time? (I really don“t know) And is there any point ever having children? I really don“t know All I do know is that we“re Here and it“s Now So stretch out and wait Stretch out and wait There is no debate, no debate, no debate How can you consciously contemplate When there“s no debate, no debate Stretch out and wait

That Joke Isn“t Funny Anymore

Park the car at the side of the road You should know Time's tide will smother you And I will too When you laugh about people Who feel so very very lonely That their only desire is to die Well, I'm afraid It doesn't make me smile I wish I could laugh But that joke isn't funny anymore It's too close to home, too near the bone It's too close to home, too near the bone More than you'll ever know Kick them when they fall down Kick them when they fall down Why must you Kick them when they fall down Kick them when they fall down It was dark as I drove the point home And on cold leather seats Well, it suddenly struck me I just might die with a smile on my face After all I've seen this happen, in other people's lives And now it's happening in mine

Oscillate Wildly

(Faixa Instrumental)

You Just Haven“t Earned It Yet, Baby

If you're wondering why All the love that you long for eludes you And people are rude and cruel to you I'll tell you why I'll tell you why I'll tell you why You just haven't earned it yet, baby You just haven't earned it, son You just haven't earned it yet, baby You must suffer and cry for a longer time You just haven't earned it yet, baby And I'm telling you now If you're wondering why When all I wanted from life was to be Famous I have tried for so long, it's all gone wrong I'll tell you why I'll tell you why I'll tell you why But you wouldn't believe me You just haven't earned it yet, baby You just haven't earned it, son You just haven't earned it yet, baby You must suffer and cry for a longer time You just haven't earned it yet, Baby And I'm telling you now Today I am remembering the time When they pulled me back And held me down And looked me in the eyes and said You just haven't earned it yet, baby You just haven't earned it, son You just haven't earned it yet, baby You must stay on your own for slightly longer You just haven't earned it yet, baby And I'm telling you now.

Rubber Ring

A sad fact widely known How a most impassionate song To a lonely soul Is so easily outgrown But don't forget the songs That made you smile And the songs that made you cry When you lay in awe On the bedroom floor And said: "Oh, smother me Mother..." The passing of time And all of its crimes Is making me sad again The passing of time And all of its sickening crimes Is making me sad again But don't forget the songs That made you cry And the songs that saved your life Yes, you're older now And you're a clever swine But they were the only ones who ever stood by you The passing of time leaves empty lives Waiting to be filled The passing of time Leaves empty lives Waiting to be filled I'm here with the cause I'm holding the torch In the corner of your room Can you hear me? And when you're dancing and laughing And finally living Hear my voice in your head And think of me kindly Do you Love me like you used to?
