- La Grande Illusion
I know a girl who's very sad, she lives on her own
Looking from an open window, looking up to the sky
The girl's got tears in her eyes, she's looking very sad
When that girl looks sad I feel also bad
I just don't know what to do
The girl's got tears in her eyes
- A Girl Called Charity
Well I'd do anything for just once kiss
Just to get my hands around her hips
And when she puts her tongue between my lips
I'm thinking, "Wow, this really could be it!"
But then she smiles and says, "It's much too sweet"
She's eyeing every other guy in the street
So I'm in the bathroom every night of the week
With a photograph of Charity
- A Picture of Dorian Gray
When I'll buy my mansion I'll invite the world to stay
So everyone can see a picture of Dorian Gray
We'll sit by the river drinking lemon tea
And there's a thousand midget russians in midget submarines
You can come and stay
You can bring your friends
You can come and stay for a day
- A Sense Of Belonging
Once there was confidence but now there is fear
Once there was laughter but now only tears
Once there were reasons for our optimism
But now we're all drowning in a sea of cynicism
But I hope and I pray in my own naive way
That one day we can reach some sort of understanding
Try a little more sharing
- Adventure Playground
Do you ever stop, stop and wonder
What it is you want
Live your life by their expectation
Pride before a fall
Try to find the truth before it finds you
Or you may get hurt
When you realise the situation's
Out of your control
- All My Dreams Are Dead
All my dreams are dead
Buried in the ground
All my dreams are dead
Lost before I'm found
I remember a day I wanted everything
But now I'd settle for a little piece of mind
- Baby, You're Only as Good as You Should Be
Tell me why you do the things you do
Tell me what it is you're trying to prove
Girl, you give up far too easily
I've been there myself
Believe you, me.
And God knows you deserve a better life
You will find your place
And I'll find mine
- Back to Vietnam
He wakes up screaming
He wakes up screaming
He wakes up
He wakes up in a cold sweat
He dreams he'll to get a letter in the post
Telling him he's been called up again (again, again)
They're calling back the national guard
- Christ Knows, I Have Tried
It's not the easiest thing in the world to love someone
It's not the easiest thing in the world to tell someone
So if you've got somebody you love
Then let them know they're loved
Then it's the easiest thing in the world to love someone
It's not the easiest thing in the world to show your tears
It's not the easiest thing in the world to share your fears
- Conscience Tells Me No
It doesn't matter who you are
It doesn't matter what you do
It doesn't matter what you see
It only matters who you tell
As long as you don't try
To hide the feeling deep inside you
Then conscience tells you no
- David Hockney's Diary
I want to wear the finest shoes
My credit card can buy
I want to eat the finest food
And drink the finest wine
I want the world to stop and stare
Whenever it sees me
But most of all I want to be
In David Hockney's diaries
- Diary of a Young Man
I draw the curtains on another day
I pick up my diary but there's nothing to say
I went to see a friend to see how she's been
But when I got there she wasn't in
She never is
I sat in the park for what seemed hours on end
Watching autumn leaves falling from the trees
- Geoffrey Ingram
Geoffrey's got a nice new suit, he bought it yesterday
Ten pounds in an Oxfam shop near Hammersmith Broadway
All the kids admire him, Geoffrey is the face
Geoffrey is that kind of guy
Who always gets away with that sort of things
Geoffrey shops at Safeways, it's got everything he wants
He fills up his pockets with baked beans and blancmange
- Girl who had everything
She's had lovers
She's had diamond rings
She's been driven in French sportscars
She's been everywhere there is to be seen
And they call her
The girl who had everything
Her daddy bought her a pony
- Happy All The Time
"Pa pa pa" said the clown as he fell down And the audience laughed and cheered
But they never saw the tears
"Mummy mummy please look at me" said Rupert with glee
As Rupert climbed a very high tree
He's as happy as he could be
And I'm just looking for rainbows
In a star filled sky
And I'm just looking for answers and the reasons why
- I Can See My Whole World Crashing Down
I can feel my whole world crashing down upon my head
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday's looking dull boring
So I think I'll dig myself a nice big hole
I can feel my whole world crashing down upon my skull
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday's looking dull
From where I stood I really thought the fences were quite small
Now I realize that they were very very tall
Oh mother, tell me more
- I Don't Want to Live This Life
I feel so foolish now
Like a king who's lost his crown
But my young heart still yearns
And my young heart still burns
But the violence of this world
Is sick and so absurd
And my world is tumbling down
- I Hope You Have a Nice Day
I had a marvellous dream last night
That white was black and black was white
If only love and peace could satisfy like war and greed
Just choose a card
Take that card
Remember that card
Put it back in the pack
I know what you chose
- I Know Where Syd Barrett Lives
There's a little man in a little house
With a little pet dog and a little pet mouse
I know where he lives and I visit him
We have sunday tea, sausages and beans
I know where he lives
Cause I know where Syd Barrett lives
He was very famous once upon a time
- I Was a Mod Before You Was a Mod - AUDIO Punk Vinyl
I can go anywhere anytime I choose
I will never ever be a substitute
Just set me free and then you'll watch me fly
And heaven knows I'm a lucky guy
I look pretty cool in my bowling shoes
My Ben Sherman shirt is a classic shade of blue
- if i could write poetry
All those times we spent together
All the love I had I gave to you
Sitting on a park bench in the autumn
Holding hands under a cloudless sky
Happiness is knowing you care for someone
And never having to give a reasons why
For love is never having to say anything
My love is yours to keep till the day you die
- If I Was Your Girlfriend
It sends a shiver down my spine
I can't deny these feelings inside
I wonder what it would be like
To sleep by your side I can't deny
But there's no passion in my life anymore
There is no passion in my life
But oh if I was your girlfriend
- In A Perfumed Garden
I could happily spend
The rest of my life
In a perfumed garden
With you, with you
I'd invite all my friends
To stay a weekend
In a perfumed garden
- King and country
Do you always clean your medals on a wet weekend?
And polish all your military ornaments?
And tell romantic stories about the war
You never explained what it's all for
And it's hard for me to understand
The fascination of a gun for a man
So pleasantly nostalgic - that's what it seems
- La Grande Illusion
I know a girl who's very sad, she lives on her own
Looking from an open window, looking up to the sky
The girl's got tears in her eyes, she's looking very sad
When that girl looks sad I feel also bad
I just don't know what to do
The girl's got tears in her eyes
- Look Back in Anger
I said some things I shouldn't have said
Should have kept them to myself instead
I was wrong, I admit I was wrong
I'm very sorry when I look back at you
I was wrong, I made you cry
But isn't that what you want to hear?
I look back in anger, I look back at you
- Love Is Better Than War
There's one thing that makes you feel so good
But I know that love can be misunderstood
But love is so magical and there's one thing for sure
I know that love is better than war
Love can take you to the highest high
Love is something you just can't deny
Love is so magical and there's one thing for sure

- Not for the Likes of Us
I wouldn't like to be in your shoes baby
Man how do you sleep?
Your dinner's getting burned
While you drink all that she earns
The baby needs changing
Boy you're in trouble deep!
Riding on the back of your black lambretta
Everybody knew your name
- Pablo Picasso
(originally by The Modern Lovers)
Well some people try to pick up girls
And get called assholes
This never happened to Pablo Picasso
He could walk down your street
And girls could not resist his stare and
So Pablo Picasso was never called an asshole
- Painting by numbers
If I had a ladder I'd climb up to the sky
And take my paintbox with me to paint your face up high
In yellow green and orange, purple red and blue
To paint the world by numbers is all I want to do
Painting by numbers is easy to do
Painting by numbers I want to paint you
- Parties in Chelsea
What are you doing next saturday week?
Would you like to come to a party with me?
Eddie and Theresa are getting engaged
Should be really good, something to look forward to
Parties in Chelsea
The week after that is Sandie's birthday
- Reaching For The Stars
No, don't go back, don't return,
No one knows that you're here, you know you're safe
Safe with me, so rest your head
No one knows that you're here.
Try, try and reach for the stars
Learn to live with the scars that only time can heal
Try, try and reach for the stars
- Scream Quietly
Love's a thousand things
Everyone a precious thing
Love's a thousand dreams
Everyone a mystery
Someone stole her dream today
She'd saved it for a rainy day
Scream quietly, or the neighbours will hear
- She Has To Make A Drama Out Of Everything
Tomorrow's another day
Tomorrow's another day
And as we see ______ you'll never feel the fear and pain
You worry about the day (?)
Or your mother says
That's easy for you to say
You'll never feel the pain I feel inside
Walking round the garden like a teddy bear
- She Lives For The Moment - AUDIO Punk Vinyl.
She lives for the moment
When everything's just right
When the stars are shining bright
She lives for the moment
She lives for the moment
When she feels that she belongs
When the singer sings her song
- Silly Girl
Silly girl, wasn't you a silly girl?
Silly girl, what have you done now?
You ran away on a train to Crewe
Such a silly thing to do
Your parents are worried about you
Time you changed your attitude
- Someone to share my life with
I don't want a girl who hangs on every word I say
Who shows me off to her parents over roast beef on Sunday
I don't want a girl who thinks she has to fake
I don't want a girl who laughs on every little joke I make
'Cause I just want someone to share my life with
I just want someone to share my life with
I don't want a girl who thinks there's only me to please
- Something Just Flew Over My Head
She was such a perfect stranger
She said here put this in a pocket safe
And then she handed me a four leaf clover And you know it really made my day
And something just flew over my head
I don't know what it was
I never saw its face
Something just flew over my head
I don't know what it was
- Stop And Smell The Roses
Sometimes just to see you smile
Would make it all worthwhile
Sometimes just to be with you
Would be all I need
Then I'd have everything
I could ever need
Just to be with you is all I ever need
Just to see you smile
- The Engine Driver Song
She says she's leaving on the first train
From Liverpool Street in the morning
She says they've had all their chances
Should have heeded her final warning
They say they'll see her to the station
At least let them wave her goodbye
But as the train pulled out
Not a single tear fell from her eyes
- The Glittering Prizes
In the past I always tried
But I never get past the glittering prizes
I put it down to confidence
Or something trendy like an emotional complex
But pretty soon I'm going to change
You won't recognize me
Glittering prizes for me
- This Angry Silence
I hear my father shouting at my mother
In the room next door
He's always threatening to pack his bags
'Cause he can't take it anymore
And my brother's anorexic
But no one seems to care about the state he's in
And my sister's in a club, she's a barmaid in a pub
And my mother's full of gin
- Three Wishes
So frightened, so worried
So cold and it's raining
My naive illusions
Distraught by confusion
You're laughing, I'm crying
Outside it's still raining
Graveyard of soldiers
No flowers on their graves
- Very Dark Today
I'm feeling very dark today
Very sad today
I thought I had it all worked out
I thought i'd buried all my doubts
Oh, if could touch the sky I would try
Oh, if I could grab a star I would try
With all my might
But I'm feeling bad today
- When Emily Cries
Emily cries in her bedroom at night
Dreams in her sleep of the boy that she loves
Letters he sent will she treasure before
Scattered in pieces on her bedroom floor
She's so sad
She's so sad
Hear her cry through the night
