- Addicted To Drugs
Getting married in the morning
It's hardly peaches and cream
We haven't got a lot in common
Except the daily routine
Nothing on the television
Just the dust on the screen
So come on lets get together
- Admire You
You said that stranger things have happened
I don't know why you're laughing
I wish I'd never asked
There must be something in the water
Thats making 'em a bit stronger
Its building up to life
- And I won't be the one to disappoint you anymore
I won't be the one to disappoint you anymore,
I know, I've said all this and that you've heard it all before.
The trick is getting you to think that all this was your idea.
And that this was everything you've ever wanted out of here.
Love's not a competition but I'm winning.
I'm not sure what's truly altruistic anymore,
- Another Number
I'm alone, and i'm cold,
Just another number
on another road (x2)
(Oooooooooh)
And I never knew my name
(Oooooooooh)
And i never knew my name
- Boxing Champ
We went to the youth club and we looked out of place.
I didn't know where to look
So I, looked at your face.
But you were a boxing champ, and I was a weakling.
You didn't give me a chance,
You gave me a beating.
And I thank you very much that you did.
- Cannons
The Occupation
The occupation of Damnation Eternal
Decreed by Commander in Chief
Won by the infantry, led by the Colonel
Came at costs that would beggar belief
As they marched upon the inferno
And the infidels dropped to their knees
- Caroline, Yes
You've done well my boy, my oh my
I bet you thought that you had one this time
Watch your back because revenge is sweet
And you are everything I wanna be
You got everything so high, oh, high
Did you have to take Caroline?
I bet you thought that was the death of me
- Child Of The Jago
This is your nightmare calling
It's the downside of life in the city
Trouble will always find you
That's the problem of life in the city
It's always a pity
That someone goes under
I'll show you the worse side of life
- Coming home
Do you wish you hadn't stayed all night?
Do you wish you hadn't gotten so high?
Do you wish you hadn't come? Oh no... Gotta go...
Do you wish it wasn't half past gone?
Do you wish you didn't last that long?
Do you wish you hadn't come? Oh no... Gotta go... Gotta run...
- Coming Up For Air
In the west of town there's no promised land
And if you can't get that through your head then fine
And if you want me to be honest with
You can ask me and I'll tell you everything
And if you want to know a lie
Then I'll tell you a lie
If you want to know the truth
- Dance Medley
Hey, baby won't you take a chance?
Say that you'll let me have this dance
Well let's dance, well let's dance
We'll do the twist, the stomp, the mashed potato too,
Any old dance that you wanna do
But let's dance, well let's dance
- Dead or in Serious Trouble
His photograph was taken in 1980 in New York on a subway train
He emerges days later, the sun in his eyes, and it started all over again
It spreads through the city like a hand-made virus and catching a glimpse of their lives
Beggars and bankers and flyboys and hookers all hang on together inside
He's either dead or in serious trouble, ah ah ah
He's either dead or in serious trouble, ah ah ah
- Everyday I Love You Less And Less
Everyday I love you less and less!
It's clear to see that you've become obsessed!
I've got to get this message to the press
That everyday I love you less and less!
And everyday I love you less and less!
I've got to get this feeling off my chest!
The doctor says all I need's pills and rest
Since everyday I love you less and less and less and less!
- Everything Is Average Nowadays
So.....
Everything is average nowadays
Everything is average nowadays
Everyone would do it if they can
And everything is going down the pan
And everyone is following the craze
And everything is average
- Falling Awake
That was then but this is now
What's really changed?
Black is black and white's still white
And gray is a waste.
I don't mind, to my own time
And I see her again
Now I fall to her eyes
I'll see you on the way down.
- Flowers In The Rain
Woke up one morning half asleep
With all my blankets in a heap
And yellow roses scattered all around
The time was still approaching
For I couldn't stand it anymore
Some marigolds upon my eiderdown
I'm just sitting watching flowers in the rain
- Golden Oldies
It was only just last Christmas
We decided we would drive
To add another little puppy
To our family tonight
Making lists and we were laughing
Too much Bailey's over ice
I have the limits and you miss it
And now we're checking daily twice, yeah
- Golden Skans
Golden Skans
ooooooo ahhhh
ooooooo ahhhh
ooooooo ahhhh
ooooooo ahhhh
Light touch my hand, in a dream of Golden Skans, from now on.
- Good Clean Fun
I never seen nobody ever live like you
We never leave the house without a drink or two
We're never going to work, we play all night and day
I never thought a life could ever be that way
Though the lights fade
It never went out
The life that we made
- good days bad days
Follow the underdog
Hold on his collar tight
This city loves a scrap
One day it's gonna bite
Sticks and stones and animal bones
Can't stop me from having a good day
On a bad day
There's good days and bad days
- Half The Truth
Girl and boy
Everythin' in full swing
Heads or tails
Doesn't make a difference
Beneath the glamour
There was always gonna be
Amateur dramatics
- Heard It Break
I swear I heard it break
I swear I heard it break, break
I swear I heard it break, break
I swear I heard it break
It feels like I broke my heart again but it's just a sprain
It feels like I broke my heart again but it's just a sprain
I could've sworn that I heard it snap
- Heat Dies Down
I can just imagine you and me
Running out of steam
Going through the motions
I have no idea how you know
When I dip my toes
In other people's oceans
You have local knowledge
- Hole In My Soul
Strike up the band
Give yourselves a great big hand
And all together now
All together now, strike up the band
Bring down the house
Once more with feeling now
I'll try to make it count
It's all for you so take a bow
- I Can Do It Without You
None of the buildings even look the same,
And underneath them all the shops have changed.
I don't pretend they're in a lot more pain,
Stocking much too young for the professionals to stay in.
I can do it, I can do it, I can do it, I can do it without you.
I can do it, I can do it, I can do it, I can do it without you.
- I Dare You
I dare you not to touch your heart
I dare you not to fall apart
I have to leave
No-one ever drowned in their tears
No-one ever died from their fears
I don't believe
I have a sentimental thought in me
- I Predict A Riot
Watching the people get lairy
Is not very pretty I tell thee
Walking through town is quite scary
And not very sensible either
A friend of a friend he got beaten
He looked the wrong way at a policeman
Would never have happened to Smeaton
And old Leodiensian
- If You Will Have Me
I don't know if you'll hear this song
And if you do you might not know
That is the trip you to the man who made
our world go around
I don't know if you'll hear this song
But if you do you're not alone
So dance while you can and cry while you can
- Indoor Firework
So we started off in the heat of the sun
Getting all our holidays at once
From afternoons we'd stay out till the light's gone
And we carried on to the best of our drum, being unaware the time was on
The colours changed and day turns into night time
Love is a weapon
Life is a war
- Kinda Girl You Are
I only wanna see the
I only wanna see the kinda girl you are
I only wanna see the
I only wanna see the kinda girl you are
I only wanna see the
I only wanna see the kinda girl you are
I only wanna see the
I only wanna see the kinda girl you are
- Learnt My Lesson Well
I'm just waiting for
The man to come with all my things
And i'm just waiting for
Another man to take it all
And its not hard to tell
That I learnt my lesson well
And I'm just waiting for
- Like It Too Much
In nights of old
They lined the roads
Off with their heads
And always lead
Opinion polls
Going in and out of
Another state of
- Listen To Your Head
There’s a million combinations and this is one
There’s a million combinations and I am one
There’s a million ways to win or lose
There’s a million ways to cheat
There’s a million ways to show yourself out
There’s a million constellations and this is one
There’s a million destinations and this is one
- Little Shocks
I don't want much, I'm happy with what I've got,
On the second floor, I pass a ruffian on the stairs,
What the driver saw, throughthe letter box of number four,
I don't have much, It will be deafening when I do
And all these little shocks, I'll be riding my imaginary dynamo,
I wish I could give you undivided attention every minute of the day but I can't,
I wish I could give you undivided attention every minute of the day but I can't
- Love is Not a Competition
I won't be the one to disappoint you anymore,
I know, I've said all this
And that you've heard it all before,
The trick is getting you to think that all this was your idea
And that this was everything you've ever wanted out of here
Love's not a competition but I'm winning
- love you less and less
Everyday I love you less and less
It's clear to see that you've become obsessed
I've got to get this message to the press
That everyday I love you less and less
And everyday I love you less and less
I've got to get this feeling off my chest
The Doctor says all I needs pills and rest
Since everyday I love you less and less
- Loves Not A Competition But Im Winning
I won't be the one to disappoint you anymore,
I know, I've said all this and that you've heard
It all before,
The trick is getting you to think that all this was your idea.
And that this was everything you've ever wanted out of here,
Love's not a competition but I'm winning.
I'm not sure what's truly altruistic anymore,
When every good thing that I do is listed and you're keeping score,
- Meanwhile Up In Heaven
Picture yourself by a rocket
Picture yourself in a glittering silver suit
Picture yourself getting on it
Saluting the news crews, you're the new recruit
Do you remember the numbers
Hung on the door of the house where you grew up?
Do you remember the colors
- Misery Company
It's hard to believe that I smile in my sleep,
'Cause everyone leaves me,
I'm so hard to keep company,
In Misery Company
Most people don't mention the stripes on my sleeve,
Though I liked attention,
I just want to live quietly
- Modern Way
I know cause I've seen it
It was grey and I want it
Theres no point in sitting
Going crazy on my own
Do you know what
I was put here in the world for
Could you tell me
In three words or more
- My Kind Of Guy
Well it starts as a joke
Like a stick in your spokes
Or removing the bolt of the brakes
Then the bicycle flips
- My Life
Sometimes you wanna get away from your life,
Sometimes you wanna get away from the horizon
In your eyes
I've fallen off the bottom of your timeline,
I know you've found a better way of spending your life,
Well it's your life
- My Place Is Here
You cant lie to me,

Na Na Na Na Naa
Na Na Na Na Naa

One, two, one, two, three, four

Oh! It does not move me

- Nerve
You've got the nerve, that's one thing
You've got the nerve, that's one thing, take it from me
Did you ever like it?
Did you ever really like it, like it?
I'll make the time, that's nothing
I'll make the time, that's nothing, I'll give it you
If you really want it
- Never Miss A Beat
What did you learn today?
I learned nothing
What did you do today?
I did nothing
What did you learn at school?
I didn't go
Why didn't you go to school?
I don't know
- Not Surprised
Hey, I'm back again
Did I see you in the park?
But the evening came
And I lost you in the dark
Passed the village green
Where you were crouching by the bins
You were on your own
- Oh My God
Time on your side that will never end
The most beautiful thing you can ever spend
But you work in a shirt with your name tag on it
Drifting apart like a plate tectonic
It don't matter to me
'Cos all I wanted to be
Was a million miles from here
Somewhere more familiar
- On the Run
Who got hit and who hit first?
Who was bad and who got worse?
Who got caught up in the life? (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Who went down and who got higher?
Who ran back into the fire?
Who was really hypnotised? (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
And if I didn't believe you then
- One More Last Song
Roll the dice
Keep 'em guessing, asking questions
One more time!
Close the vice
Keep on pressing, teach 'em a lesson
Hold the line!
Don't let 'em through the door
- Out Of Focus
It's like nothing happened
When everything happened
You took it away
But that's the way I like it
I find myself laughing
Cuz everyone's laughing
I don't belong
Making up a number
- Out Of My Depth
You can drive in the wrong direction
And arrive at your destination
You'll be driving for a while and meanwhile
I'll be down in my old back garden
Waiting for something great to happen
We could meet up on the way
Here comes Alex with a tray
- Problem Solved
Problem solved
It's easier said than done
A problem solved
Reveals another one to be done
Convinced I'm not
I know there's still a lot to be done
Convinced I'm not
I wish I was happy with my lot
- Remember You're a Girl
Pick the one you take
Love the one you're with
You're going down the wrong road
And it doesn't even matter
A prize in every pack
Take it from the top
You're going down the wrong road
- Retirement
There are many things that I would be proud of
If I'd only invented them such as the wheel
The washing machine and the tumble dryer
On these inventions surely I could retire
I want to retire
No longer required
I want to get by without the man on my back
- Roses
All of the people
All of those ordinary lives
Building on the outskirts
Of my mind
They ride the Iron Pilgrim
To holidays for the head
If plans were hand grenades
We'd all be dead
- Ruby
Let it never be said
That romance is dead
Cause there's so little else
Occupying my head
There is nothing I need
Except the function to breathe
But I'm not really fussed,
Doesn't matter to me
- Ruby - Ruby - Ruby - Ruby
Lalalaa Lalalaa
Lalalaa Lalalaa
Let it never be said
That romance is dead
cos theres so little else
occupying my head
There is nothing i need
- Ruby, Ruby, Ruby
Let it never be said, that romance is dead
Пусть не говорят, что [наш] роман умер,
'Cos there’s so little else occupying my head.
Потому что кроме него мою голову мало что занимает.
There is nothing I need except the function to breathe
Мне ничего не нужно, кроме функции дыхания,
But I’m not really fussed, doesn’t matter to me.
Но и это меня не волнует. Мне все равно.
- Rudy
Let it never be said, that romance is dead
Cos there’s so little else occupying my head
There is nothing I need except the function to breathe
But I’m not really fussed, doesn’t matter to me
Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby
Ahaa-ahaa-aaaa
Do ya, do ya, do ya, do ya
- Saturday Night
Suddenly there's a knock at your head
Don't let them in because they'll try to take your TV set
Ha-ha-ha-happiness is a ball in your hand
You've got to try and throw this party just as far as you can
Cre-cre-cre-creosote is pouring out of my brain
I swear I heard the floor boards they were creaking your name.
Get a room, get a head, get a hat
- Seventeen Cups
Have a cup of tea to pass the time
It doesn't pass enough so I have nine
And everything to do
Is done for you
And there is nothing left for me
Outside this room
And it's 'cause secretly I know
I'll be home soon
- Sink That Ship
Waiting just like before
But just one hour of excitement out of these 24
And now there's 15 minutes to go
Before you said it would be that long 15 minutes ago
Ooh ooh oooooooh...
Eighteen out of the blocks
- Song For Stephanie
There's signs of life in the generator
Fairy lights, but they're on for a second
Rattles come from the refrigerator
Static crackles on the record player
Song for Stephanie
You're the melody
Hold on to yesterday
- Sooner Or Later
Just when you thought it was safe to go
back in the party on your own
It's like the night of the living dead
With beer in hand and lampshade on head
Fast forward two weeks
someone's coming up your street
Fast forward two weeks
what is that is that a rat a tat tat tat
- Spanish Metal
How could we not notice it before?
Well you may as well have pinned it to my door
Well lately I'm oh so slowly coming around
To the fact that this friend is a friend no more
And if you think you're right then you are wrong
No one every really knew what's going on
No we're all so slowly coming around
- Starts With Nothing
It starts with nothing
And it ends in nothing
You start with nothing
And you leave with nothing
It'll start with nothing
And will end in nothing
You arrive with nothing
And you leave with nothing
- Still Waiting
Hearts and stars and people waiting for their train to come.
Get ready though it's not the end.
Park the car and keep it running while they play the song.
You have to get out in the end.
Not enough to be there when you're waiting.
You're still waiting.
I won't let you go, I'll still be at your door.
- Sunday Morning
I got rules and I break 'em
Got laws, I don't make 'em
I got chance, and I don't know what I'm doing

I got friends, I don't make 'em
And I think of what I'm doing then don't want to do it anymore
- Take My Temperature
Let's take a look at your eyes they're bloody mental
swelled to the size of the Lincoln Continental
a bag of pills and a pag of ugly menthols
and i can tell by your teeth you've had a good life!

i got a 2 on 1 to be hip hey hey hey
you can take my temperature
- Team Mate
We used to go out nightly
To the armoury
You used to be my team mate
Or that's the way it seemed
We lost our friends
Because you wanted to
They had no faith in you
I had faith in you
- Thank You Very Much
Didn't expect any of this
But it was really nice
Didnt want you to cause a fuss
But it feels alive
So Thank you very much
Its really nice to know
That you enjoyed the show
- The Angry Mob
I can prove anything
I'll make you admit again and again
That I can prove anything
The way that it's read again and again
And it's only cos you came here with your brothers too
If you came here on your own you'd be dead
It's only cos you follow what the others do
- The Brightest Star
Train me up to be the brightest star
I'm not laughing but I think you are
And I'm not the kind of person
That takes things lightly (x2)
Cause all I want is a place of my own
With a little patch of garden and a patio
And all I want is a room with a view
- The Factory Gates
So this is the age of the train
All aboard through the labour exchange
My mind is running away with me
I'm a sharp one's sales campaign
Trapped behind yellow cellophane
My mind is running away with
- Time Honoured Tradition
Well it's time honoured tradition
To get enough nutrition
Stay alive until you die
And that is the end of you
And I pity the fools
Who don't recognize the rules
We cannot cheat the reapers reap
And that is the end of that
- Tomato in the Rain
Like a tomato in the rain I've got that feeling again
Like a grey hound in a race I've got a rabbit to chase
Roland and me
Know what's going down
We got the remedy
For what's going around
- Try Your Best
I can't do it any quicker
I don't want it any slicker
As far as the eye can see
Is miles and miles of icy sea
So try your best
And think about it later
Or you will never know
- When All Is Quiet
When you've got 24 hours left on the clock
What you gonna do?
What you gonna do?
When you are the last apple pie in the shop
What you gonna do?
What you gonna do?
Think about me
- Wrecking Ball
It's not my problem now
Get him to sort it out
And when the dust has cleared
Look on your shoulder
It looks like we're over
You've got a lot to say
For someone who says they're okay
- you can have it all
I'll tell you what it's going to be like
I saw you on the bus and that was that
There's more to this than passing by
There's more to this than meets the eye
I'll tell you what it's going to be like
I saw you on the bus, I saw your shoes
They fell apart some time ago
I'll buy some more in five years
- You Want History
Yesterday you lay awake on your bed
And worked out you'd done everything that you said
That you'd do before you got to this age
The lord of the bored and a slave to the beige
It's a mystery
It's a mystery
You want some history
- ЕЖЕДНЕВНО Я ЛЮБЛЮ ТЕБЯ
Everyday I love you less and less!
It's clear to see that you've become obsessed!
I've got to get this message to the press
That everyday I love you less and less!
And everyday I love you less and less!
I've got to get this feeling off my chest!
The doctor says all I need's pills and rest
Since everyday I love you less and less and less and less!
