I was in a sleeping dream
When a policeman brought my mother home By the window I didn't scream I was too old for that I was in a drunken dream The pubs were closed It was three o'clock At the bottom of the street it seemed There was a policeman lost in the fog I understand but I don't see it I understand but I don't see it I understand but I don't read it Futures and Pasts You can cry for your lost childhood Will you cry for our lost childhoods? But remember how you hated it And worse cause you couldn't state it? And it's time for the note, see it And it's time for the note, say it And it's time for the note, read it Futures and Pasts Look at the woman of thirty-nine Look at the man of forty-nine You can read their lousy lives You can see their ugly face lines They understand but they don't see it They understand but they don't see it I understand but I don't read it Futures and Pasts I understand but I don't see it I understand but I don't see it I understand but I don't read it Futures and Pasts |

I am the dice man
And I take a chance, huh Do you take a chance, huh? Where you two going? Where you two going? Is this a branch on the tree of showbusiness? Do all these musicians Have a social conscience? Well, only in their front rooms But I am the dice man And I take a chance man Do you take a chance, huh? They stay with the masses Don't take any chances End up emptying ashtrays But I push, push, push, push Throw the bones and the poison dice No time for small moralists Cos I am the dice man And I take a chance, huh Do you take a chance, fan? They say music should be fun Like reading a story of love But I wanna read a horror story Where are you people going? Where are you people going? Is this a branch on the tree of showbusiness? But I am the dice man A balls-on-the-line man Do you take a chance, baby? |

Shhhh
We are private detectives onward back from a musical pilgrimage We work under the name of the Fall. Who would suspect this? It is too obvious. Our office is secluded. Those there to suspect Would not see the wood for the trees We were six like dice but we're back to five Up here in the North there are no wage packet jobs for us Thank Christ While young married couples discuss the poverties Of their self-built traps And the junior clergy demand more cash We spit in their plate and wait for the ice to melt I must create a new regime Or live by another man's Before the moon falls I must create a new scheme And get out of others' hands Before the moon falls I could use some pure criminals And get my hands on some royalties Before the moon falls A problem of this new scheme Is answering obscene phone calls Before the moon falls Gotta stop drifting around Kill this ugly duckling We've got the power And must not misuse it Cos life is short and full of thought I use the power And will forever end this reign of terror Before the moon falls Before the tide subsides Before the moon falls for the fifth time Before The Fall swoons |

Fat conference women
Clap return of glass house And the Arabs have it made Oil is women in veils, eyes glazed Second Dark Age. Death of the USA. Return of the family. The scooter cabbages And the commune crapheads sit and whine While the common near my birthplace is now a police college It's a second dark age. No Psalm Sunday or any day. The city is dead. Bust. Ghost-dance rite. Tepid I could join a pray-peace group Spy in Norway Cause groups can change the world and meet Ms. Fjord and Benny.* "Hi I am Benny. Go where the brave prance No Czechoslovak food queues are a party, fool A mediocre anti-Jew And single people are screwed in the Second Dark Age I am Roman Totale, 17, the bastard offspring of Charles I and the Great God Pan. |

My face is slack
And the kidneys burn In the small of my back Will never learn Well I'm not going back To the slow life Cos every step is a drag And peace is a kite Of materials you never catch Come up for a snatch Up from hell Once in a while Cause I am Jack From a burning ring My face is slack And I think think think I just think think think Too fast to write Too fast to work Just burn burn burn I sat and drank For three decades I'm 45 Cause I am Jack From a burning ring And my face is slack And I think think think I just drink drink drink Too fast to write Too fast to work I just burn burn burn A store man from the slack They are smart They are (mod) Their brains are half They never end Just follow trends But I am Jack ... And put down left-wing tirades And the musical trades And all free trade I said eat this grenade Cause I am Jack From the burning ring My face is slack And I think think think Just think think think Too fast to work Too fast to write I just burn burn burn And put down left-wing tirades and the musical trades And all free trade I said eat this grenade I said Doncaster eat this grenade |
