Come to my aid, you're sweet as everything.
Come to my aid, I'd give you anything I feel so betrayed by the people I love. Come to my aid, it's you I'm thinking of. Prouder than wild, sad enough to sing. Come to my aid and care for social living. Chorus: Why are we liable to die for survival? Wny is our nation divided? Come to my aid (repeat) In the poverty stakes see just what it means When welfare decimates you'd better care about your fellow people. chorus Come on board! |

I walk on stone, it leads me home
We don't have streets, just pure concrete I'm not glad when I get home I'm sad old red, I don't wanna be alone I go whiter in the face, my feet begin to shake I go upstairs to that heavenly place I'm not glad when I get home I'm sad old red, I don't wanna be alone [Chorus:] Sad old red, sat at home Sad old red, living on his own Sad old red, sat at home Sad old red, let me take you home It's a cubic room, two holes peep through Shadows on the wall of trees so tall I think of her again, the joy she used to bring Lay there in bed, two words she said She said "oh red" [repeat] Sad old red, that's what I am All the time, every night Sad old red |

Right from the start you tried to hurt me
But look at you now, behaving like a fool A long time ago you treated me so mean but [Chorus:] Look at you now Look at you now You threw me away like litter in the gutter I had to pick myself up and find something better [Chorus:] Look at you now Look at you now I looked so hard, I'm looking hard now Looking at your head Don't talk about birthdays, that don't mean a thing to me Don't throw it in my face, it's too sweet to sting [Chorus:] Look at you now Look at you now I kept on looking hard [repeat] Looking at your head. Head!!! |

Ev'ryone is trying to get to the bar.
The name of the bar, The bar is called Heaven. The band in Heaven, They play my favourite song. They play it once again, They play it all night long. Chorus: Heaven, Heaven is a place, A place where nothing, Nothing ever happens. -chorus- There is a party, everyone is there. Everyone will leave at exactly the same time. It's hard to imagine that nothing at all Could be so exciting, could be so much fun. -chorus- -chorus- When this kiss is over it will start again. It will not be any different, it will be exactly the same. It's hard to imagine that nothing at all Could be so exciting, could be so much fun. -chorus- |

Listen boy, I'll tell you a thing.
I'll make you a career in the business I'm in. I'll make you rich, I'll make you a toy, I'll make you turn over into my little boy. Y'see I'm going somewhere. I don't know what I'm gonna do when I get there. I know money's a thing - your only inspiration And your only meaning. You must think that all I do Is spend my time making pretty pictures of you. You can fall when I will climb, But I'll be falling over just by having you in mind. 1st. chorus: Mend that fight - oh listen to them Kickin' up a ball inside a Jericho wall. Mend that fight - it's all twisted through them. If you ain't rich then you won't go to the ball. Having mercy and licking up love, And moving through your ocean like I've never had enough. Y'see you ain't all I want, You're everything and more that I have ever hoped for. You must think that all I do Is spend my time making pretty pictures of you. You can fall when I will climb, But I'll be falling over just by having you in mind. -1st chorus- 2nd chorus: You won't go to the ball. You won't go to the ball. You won't go, you won't go, You won't go to the ball. (repeat) You must think that all I do Is spend my time making pretty pictures of you. You can fall when I will climb, But I'll be falling over just by having you in mind. Mend that fight - oh listen to them Kickin' up a ball inside a No.10 wall. Mend that fight - it's all twisted through them. I'm rich, you ain't, so you won't go to the ball No more! -2nd chorus- Outro: Yeah, if you ain't got nothing You'll never go there (Repeat) I tried to make you see I tell you, I'd had enough. Money was a thing, money was a thing, Money was a thing that I believed in. (Repeat) |

Holding back the years
Thinking of the fear I've had so long When somebody hears Listen to the fear that's gone Strangled by the wishes of Pater Hoping for the arms of Mater Get to meet her sooner or later Holding back the years Chance for me escape from all I've known Holding back the tears Cause nothing here has grown I've wasted all my tears Wasted all those years And nothing had the chance to be good Nothing ever could I'll keep holding on That's all I have today I've wasted all my tears Wasted all those years And nothing had the chance to be good Nothing ever could I'll keep holding on That's all I have todayThat's all I have to say |

Why don't you look at the price I'm paying?
Walk in, take a look inside, I've moved back the tables and chairs to the wall. The valuable things I've had to hide. Open up the red box. Come on, open it up. Open up the red box. Come on, open it up. Peer in, looking for that crasher again. You ruined Terry's party last night. An overweight greasy little man with a mouth That opens more than now and again. Open up the red box. Come on, open it up. Open up the red box. Come on, open it up. Something good must have happened to you. If you would let it happen to you, If you could let it happen to you, Something good would have happened. Lopez, I hate you for the state you're in. Lopez, your hair, it washes out, it washes in. You ropey little fat boy, Lopez. Come on get lost. Open up the red box. Come on, open it up. Open up the red box. Come on, open it up. Something good must have happened to you. If you would let it happen to you, If you could let it happen to you, Something good would have happened. I'm out of my head. |

Singing hymns on roads and pavements
Hungry jims, no-one saves them Walkin' north, talkin' south With firm intention And I don't know what I'm talking about It's firm intention [Chorus:] In this dreary life, with no direction What this cause says about my life And no direction. No direction!!! To enter a place like an alien To leave a place like an alien What's this calling? What's this calling? Firm intention Better feel it, better believe it Firm intention [Chorus:] In this dreary life, with no direction What this cause says about my life And no direction. No direction!!! Watch that feeling, watch that feeling Or I'll grab it, or I'll grab it Watch that feeling, watch that feeling Or I'll grab it, or I'll grab it [Chorus:] In this dreary life, with no direction What this cause says about my life And no direction. No direction!!! |

Many types came to see the picture
Many types came to see the picture Only he had the right to come Only he is long gone Will or win or wicked it's written in it [repeat] Quivering in mutual aggression Women sing remembering affection Only he had the right to come Only he is long gone Will or win or wicked it's written in it [repeat] [Chorus:] Here by the side of the book (we beseech thee, we beseech thee) Here by the side of piero's spirit |
