- 06. Rainbows
Petulant elbows, tiny kicking feet
I've been waiting for this moment
I'm on a roll
I've spent infinity, counting silent sheep
I don't need no more sleep, no
I'm all ready to go
I think today is gonna be my birthday
- Baggy Trousers
Naughty boys in nasty schools
Headmasters breaking all the rules
Having fun and playing fools
Smashing up the woodwork tools
All the teachers in the pub
Passing 'round the ready-rub
Trying not to think of when
The lunch-time bell will ring again.
- Bed and Breakfast Man
Well there's a man I know
At least I used to years ago
I didn't really mind
He used to come 'round all the time
Of course he had to be fed
I had to give him a bed
He used to kip on my sofa
- Cardiac Arrest
Papers in the morning
Bowler hat on head
Walking to the bus stop
He's longing for his bed,
Waiting with his neighbours
In the rush hour queue
Got to get the first bus
So much for him to do.
- Drip Fed Fred
We want Freddy for our leader
Freddy is a man of class
We Want Freddy for our leader
all stand and raise your champagne glass
Gentlemen and assasins and ladies of the night
I call upon this evening in the hope of sheddings some light
I can't go into detail or fingure unfounded fools
- Driving In My Car
I've been driving in my car, it's not quite a jaguar
I bought it in primrose hill from a bloke from brazil
It was made in fifty-nine in a factory by the tyne
It says morris on the door, the g.p.o. owned it before
I drive in it for my job, the governor calls me a slob
But I don't really care, give me some gas and the open air
It's a bit old but it's mine, I mend it in my spare time
- Dust Devil
Spy the little wiz kid, yeah,
She's streets ahead
On top of the daybreak and,
The last one to bed
Keeps her gizmo
Under her pillow
Little dust devil whipping up a storm
- Elysium
Elysium, is everyone chipping at your cordiality?
Elysium, you stand ice-bound to the windy casualty
Elysium, is everyone nagging at your reason to believe?
Elysium, you stare down from a mound with such hostility
You said to me now wipe you eyes
Relax your hand and come inside
Lift back your head and swallow your pride
- Embarrassment
Received a letter just the other day,
Don't seem they wanna know you no more,
They've laid it down given you their score,
Within the first two lines it bluntly read.
You're not to come and see us no more,
Keep away from our door,
Don't come 'round here no more
- Forever Young
There was a time when I was younger,
and all the nights and days were long
And everyday just getting stronger,
like a sunflower in the sun, in the sun
Well Mr Moon was counting backwards,
make the waters and air flow
And all the things we could and should have done,
- Grey Day
When I get home it's late at night,
I'm black and bloody from my life,
I haven't time to clean my hands,
Cuts will only sting me through my dreams.
It's well past midnight as I lie
In a semi-conscious state.
I dream of people fighting me
- House Of Fun
Good morning miss
Can i help you son?
Sixteen today
And up for fun
I'm a big boy now
Or so they say
So if you'll serve
I'll be on my way
- i chase the devil
Lucifer son of the mourning,
I'm gonna chase you out of earth
chorus:
I'm gonna put on an iron shirt
And chase Satan out of Earth.
I'm gonna put on an iron shirt
And chase the Devil out of Earth.
- I'll Compete
I’ll be you’re promotional copy
In this here number one band
Take your business beyond your farthest dreams
Sounds good sounds great sounds really grand
But wait
Let us hurry now time is catching up
- If I Didn't Care
I know there's time,
I know there's time,
I know there's time,
For us,
I know there's time
If I didn't care,
Would it be the same?
- It Must Be Love
I never thought I'd miss you
Half as much as I do
And I never thought I'd feel this way
The way I feel
About you
As soon as I wake up
Every night, every day
I know that it's you I need
- Land of Hope and Glory
Attention!
Raaaahhh....
Bridges,
Sharkey,
Nutlee,
Jackson,
Thompson (mother!)
- Lovestruck
Staggering home the headlights throw a shadow up and upon
Friends and loved ones that have done no wrong
But no longer mean anything to me
Mumbling on into a crystal glass that echoes a song
The enticement invites you along
A path of exterior colour
But came the morning shivering and contorting
- Mad Not Mad
The windows are open wide
Georgie Fame for those outside
And answering the call
Blue flames leap up the wall
Who would of thought it strange
That all of us would change
- Madness
Madness, madness, they call it madness
Madness, madness, they call it madness
It's plain to see
That is what they mean to me
Madness, madness, they call it gladness, ha-ha
Madness, madness, they call it madness
Madness, madness, they call it madness
I'm about to explain
- MK II
There’s a MKII parked on the cobbles
Of a Chelsea Mews, and out of the shadows
Steps a figure, silver mohair bright
Into the moonshine out in to the night
And in the darkness, one stray moonbeam
Creeps through the curtains on the unmade bed
She stares at the ceiling, just an empty feeling
- My Girl
My girl's mad at me
I didn't wanna see the film tonight
I found it hard to say
She thought I'd had enough of her
Why can't she see
She's lovely to me?
But I like to stay in
And watch t.v. on my own
- Never Knew Your Name
It was very late in the discotheque
I was feeling blue as I sometimes do
I turned around it was time to go
A face in the crowd a face I didn't know
We got to talking for a little while
You said it's not the sort of thing you usually do
Talking to strangers so late in the night
These days you never know
- Night Boat To Cairo
Night boat to cairo !!.....
It's just gone noon
Half past monsoon
On the banks of the river nile
Here comes the boat
Only half-afloat
Oarsman grins a toothless smile
Only just one more
- No Money
She'd gotten used to the idle life
Following the sun was her full time occupation
A lesson to us all footloose for the education
Oh but look at her now foxtrotting the globe
With her head in the clouds
I haven't got no money to keep this affair afloat
And I don't think that its funny it looks like I've sunk my boat
- One Fine Day
Oh the life that we’ve lived
The life that we had
Well, it wasn't all bad
We had our ups
We sure had our downs
But before they bring on the clowns
- One Step Beyond
Hey you, don't watch that
Watch this!
This is the heavy heavy monster sound
The nuttiest sound around
So if you've come in off the street
And you're beginning to feel the heat
Well listen buster
You better start to move your feet
- Our House
Father wears his Sunday best
Mother's tired she needs a rest
The kids are playing up downstairs
Sister's sighing in her sleep
Brother's got a date to keep
He can't hang around
Our house, in the middle of our street
- Overture
This is the story of the Liberty Of Norton Folgate
Old Jack Norris, the musical shrimp and the cadging ramble.....
A little bit of this, would you like a bit of that
But in weather like this, you should wear a coat, a nice warm hat
A needle and thread the hand stitches of time
- Rockin' In Ab
I used to work nights with my dad
It was the best job I ever had
Until some blokes on their bikes came through
Said "Come on down the Youth Club and see what's new"
Well come on, come on, come on
Let's have some fun tonight
Went to the dance like they said I should
It cost three bob, but it was quite good
- Shame and Scandal
In Trinidad, there was a family
Much confusion as you will see
It was a mama and a papa and a boy who was grown
Wanted to marry and have wife of his own
Found a young girl, who suited him nice
Went to his papa to ask his advice
His papa said son, I have to say no
That girl is your sister but your mama don't know
- Sign Of The Times
This is disposable, throw it away,
This is an animal, don't let it stray,
That was the past, so leave it behind,
This is the future, it's all in our mind.
Feeding your interest, in between lines,
Reading the caring one, sign of the times,
This is your Englishman, this is his lawn,
This is your female, undone and torn.
- Solid gone
Ha ha ho ho
(Okay Boys, let's get real solid gone !)
Shake it mister
And a sister too
I'm gonna make ya boogie woogie
Gonna rattle in your shoes
Boogie with me baby (Boogie boogie)
Oh won't ya boogie with me baby (Boogie boogie)
- Stepping into Line
I didn't want to a leave you behind
But your clothes weren't stepping into line
Too much self-pity, not enough nitty-gritty
And just when you were looking pretty
Pretty boring, pretty drab, out of date, colored bad
Suit not suiting, looking sad
- Sugar And Spice
I thought I'd seen you round before
Then you came knocking on my door
You were only 16 years
And yet you took away all of my fears
I held your hand and then I knew
I was the one and only one for you
We were married at 21
- Take It Or Leave It
(Barson/Thompson)
How come he enjoys himself not me? (I don't know)
How can she smile a good morning to me?
How do they make a hard day's work easy?
Tell me something I'll put it to the test
Take hold of yourself and you will see
How lucky we are to be free,
- Taller Than You Are
Why should you try to be much taller than you are
Why do you try to hang your little hat so far
You say you're right when you are wrong
And through you're weak you believe you're strong
Why should you try to be much taller than you are
You are always telling people you are the best
- That Close
Ready for love
We were so close
It was scary
We were that close
I couldn't tell you
Ready for love
We were that close
- The Liberty Of Norton Folgate
This is the story of the Liberty of Norton Folgate
Old Jack Norris, ‘The Musical Shrimp’
And the cadging ramble
A little bit of this
Would you like a bit of that?
But in weather like this
You should wear a coat, a nice warm hat
- The Sun and the Rain
It's raining again,
I'm hearing its pitter patter down.
It's wet in the street
Reflecting the lights and splashing feet,
Nowhere to go,
And nothing I have to do, have to do.
It's raining again,
- Tomorrow's just another day
Trying hard, I thought I'd done my best
All my life, I can't get no rest
Some who've closed the door before
Say I can't carry on no more.
I hear them saying
Tomorrow's just another day
I hear them saying
And it gets better every day
- Wings Of A Dove
Take time for your pleasure
And laugh with love
Take the hand of another
And sing for the wings of a dove
Woah woah, for the wings of a dove
Woah woah, for the wings of a dove
- Ну вот и все
Ну вот и все,выдерни скорее из розетки
Ну вот и все,не помогут нам с тобой таблетки
Ну вот и все,но нет happy в этом конце
Нет разговоров о венце и улыбок на лице
Ну вот и все,наши батарейки быстро сели
Ну вот и все,не попали амуры по цели
Ну вот и все,на пути как то разошлись
