- All I Wanted
Well all I wanted was to get on my feet
But you're guaranteed a kick in the teeth
It's all I want out of life as my body is a heap and I cut I bleed
And we're all going to seed a lot of people in my brain and I'm totally sane
For the last twenty years we've had the same love song
For the last twenty years I've known what is wrong
For the last twenty years we've had the same love song
Well all I wanted was happiness now I could not care less
- Alright Jack
We adhere to Alright Jack To the rich and the thin and the meaningless ideas
And there on your back is Alright Jack
He doesn't care about warfare, he must be safe
We adhere to the idea of Mr. Sincere,
And we adhere to all he holds dear, but all the things that he holds he owns
We reason why? It's Mr. Jones again and again that will always win
For if we adhere to Alright Jack that patriotic smile will win by miles.
- Andy
And I made a friend like I'd never known
Who made me feel like I was a special someone
He cared like I had never done why oh why did didn't I just phone
And now I'll never know what was wrong
There must have been something we could have done
And his smile was a mia child and Andy's drink was guinness I think
Andy's walk amused us all and he was mystifying
And I didn't really know him that long compared to someone compared to
- Another Dance
What becomes of me, the repetition that I
Was immunized against like a friend was
In the room without a view
Simple Simon tests the best of the rest
It's awful that they really don't think of you
And what you do
You should never tell lies you might be hipnotized,
Like a friend that's breating
- Broken
All the things I ever said was like
Fishing in my head
All the things I could've done
In the name of fun
What is this thing I could've done
With a loaded gun
While you were pissing
On my setting sun
- Closing Time
The hardest part is the walking away
And turning your back on what you thought was a safe place
The easy bit it is the starting again
It's even easier to make the same mistake
In dark cloudless sky it was closing time
Tomorrow lies well it's a little bit like the blue sky
Cloudless sky it's closing time now to moralies
You go straight in that the shallow end
- Dead Industrial Atmosphere
There's dark satanic mills and there's green and pleasant hills
Could be riding through Lancashire with all it's
Witchcraft dead industrial air
You can hear a melancholy desert song
And smell George Orwell as a funeral goes on
There's plenty with a license to prostitute
And room to develop the ultimate building
The air in here is dead industrial and so austere
- Diego Garcia
Why walk on a beach?
Or sit under trees
Just get it over and done with please
There's no need to buy, half dead plants
When weed would love you
Given half the chance
They danced round the truth
For most of my youth
- Games
When I don't know which way to go
And we'll hold rosey lies not a song
And you with the thought in me
And you will ally that I can see
And you will work and I will hoard
In our lines so beautiful
And you get to play with our lives
Never ought to be my life
- God Is Dead
God is dead, in my shed.
Better red, living in my head.
Best unsaid.
Filling me with dread.
God is dead put it in my shed.
Better dead than red.
The dog is fed
God is dead, definitely dead.
- Heaven
Mama take that old badge off of me I can't use it any more
It's getting dark too dark to see feel I'm knocking on heaven's door door door door
Knock knock knocking on heaven's door...
Mama put my gun to the ground I can't shoot them any more
Long black could is coming down feel I'm knocking on heaven's door
Knock knock knocking on heaven's door...
- Hops and Barley
Hops and barley will be the death of me
It comes from wood and does you no good
Raise your glasses to the good men of Kent
Who worship the hops and the barley
The brew is on the go once again
Joe licks his lips and smiles
For every pint he downs he proves that he's a man
And he comes home full of vile
- Live For You
Can you say I'm right could you say whatever you like
Who you really like you'll have my body
And I won't marry you and I won't give in all to you
When I live for you
Be fast in your shine your not burning bright
I want another dance with you
Well I live four miles from you I want another dance with you
When I live for you
- My World Ends
When it starts to get darker
And the rain clouds are winning
I know they have won
When the foghorn comes
The seagull's sound
Like they're in my room
There's a fly on the arm of the chair that I'm sitting
You talked through my favourite tunes
- Never Say Goodbye
That old clock chimes
Begin your diatribe
A life full of flashbacks
Has the effect of candlelight
And like in the movies
Music does play
I'm walking along alone
And I hear the theme tune play
- Not Superstitious
You're not a politician,
And without a thought you would build a fort, defend what you are.
You're not religious and without Catholicism
You would turn to God to save your soul.
And all I can do is try my best for you,
With all my indecision.
And all I can do is try my best for you,
- Sour Grapes
In here with me that's where you want me to *play*
I'm hiding high no fear I won't cry
And Heaven sent head in descent here
A hell of a state and I'm in it I'm in it
I want a life well I won't say goodbye
And I will hold me down hold me down
In here with me I don't see
I want heresy in here I die I can die any day now
