- 1967
In 1967
In 1967
The clock's ticking by, I'm thirty five
I think we should have a child soon
In 1967
No pop in our record collection
The Beatles and Stones mean nothing to us
- After Murder Park
esme could you shut the door
and put the oil lamp on the floor
i feel it coming on again
just like it did on saturday
voices after murder park
in the damp in the dark
maybe we should call the law
maybe we should call the child's parents
- Bailed Out
Your star is descending
Round here blindly
Tell your dancing daughter
That there's no room
On the wing
We can bitch
But it ain't a tinsel town
Hey! starchild
- Brain Child
Some of the things a cowboy does
To make you howl out at the moon and blush...
I think you'd better look around
There's a genius in every town
Keep your ear down to the ground
No mothers son will ever forget it
Brainchild - you stole away my life for a while
- Don't Trust The Stars
Who cares about
your mystic lies
Is it a claim to some reality
I found myself barefoot
on stones
I don't think
`It was meant to be'
I don't think
- Early Years
Early years
were a shroud man
Only a grey cloud
Shot in the dark
Hanging out
with your dad
His plans for revenge
In some hick-town
- Fear Of Flying
you may be wary of fallen stars
they're always poking around in the dark
the aeriel view of a dying man
screaming out can you help me invisible man
you must be wary of ghosts in the dark
they know all your history they know all your past
all of the angels are doing their bit
clearing the house of your animal shit
- Future Generation
The future generation
Will take me by the hand
To the common in my home ground
This is the story of the band
Wet weekends and New Year parties
You know I mean it from the heart
The next generation
Will get it from the start
- Home Again
Home Again
Housesitting again
Rifle through
Your possessions
and stuff
Things that you
Are ashamed of
- How I Learned To Love The Bootboys
I'm in love a rat tailed girl
Scared to dance our church hall
But it's better than being bitch-slapped
In the shrubbery while the tea-time classes
Watching ITV
Chart Busters bootboys
- Land Lovers
in a basement flat lying undercover
in a head full of height were a couple of lovers
i'll buy you some energy i'll buy you a beer
hotfoot it downtown
if you move i'll shoot
land lovers -
terrified of the land
- Lenny Valentino
There were mourners on the street
of every shape and size
The motorcade came down from Redondo
Assassins on the corner tried to throw you a line
You dirty-mouth comic Rodolfo
Lenny Valentino reside
The Pope renounced you as the real one
Lazarus decided to rise
- Lights Out
Lights out, come on baby, turn the lights out
Romeo and Juliet, we can be like them
Come on, Leslie, turn the lights out
Lights out, last exit on the motorway
Drive out to the woods turn on the radio
A busy night for rescue parties
Do the stars watch over you
- Married to a Lazy lover
Sack the maid - put her in chains until
She says that its painless and I
Couldnt care less
Twenty years
Married to a lazy lover
Twenty years
Mixing alcohol and downers
- School
I am waiting for a man
To collect me from the station
He will drive me past your house
And the bridge and the precinct
Later on he'll stuff my mouth
With flies, sit astride me
I am waiting for a man
- Some Changes
Some changes, make some changes
Some changes, make some changes
I have no memory of time, space or events
So forget it wonderchild just listen to this
Got a letter from a
Friend, says 'You're scum
- The Rubettes
Hang up your jeans, put out your school clothes
Tune in for the top ten
Monday morning's hours away
Say goodbye to the weekend
Slip between the sheets
With my brand new friend
Doo wah - sugar baby love (Sugar baby love)
- The South Will Rise Again
How does the magic move around you?
How does the magic move around you?
So come down from the castle, say
"The old town looks the same"
My father's ghost from '53
The south will rise again
How does the magic move around you?
