Beetlebum
What you've done
She's a gun
Now what you've done
Beetlebum
Get nothing done
You beetlebum just get numb
Now what you've done
Beetlebum

(Chorus)
And when she lets me slip away
She turns me on all my violence is gone
Nothing is wrong
I just slip away and I am gone
Nothing is wrong
She turns me on
I just slip away and I am gone


Beetlebum
Because you're young
She's a gun
Now what you've done
Beetlebum
She'll suck your thumb
She'll make you come
Coz, she's your gun
Now what you've done
Beetlebum

(repeat chorus)

Streets like a jungle
So call the police
Following the herd
Down the Greece
On holidays
Love in the 90's
Is paranoid
On sunny beaches
Take your chances
Looking for

Girls who want boys
Who like boys to be girls
Who do boys like they're girls
Who do girls like they're boys
Always should be someone you really love

Avoiding all work
Because there's none available
Like battery thinkers
Count your thoughts on 1 2 3 4 5 fingers
Nothing is wasted
Only reproduced
Get nasty blisters
Du bist sehr shon
But we haven't been introduced

(chorus)

He's a twentieth century boy
With his hands on the rails
Trying not to be sick again
And holding on for tomorrow
London ice cracks on a seamless line
He's hanging on for dear life
So we hold each other tightly
And hold on for tomorrow

Singing
La la, la la la
La la la la la la la la x3
Holding on for tomorrow
...oh, oh, oh, oh, oh...

She's a twentieth century girl
With her hands on the wheel
Trying not to make him sick again
Seeing what she can borrow
London's so nice back in your seamless rhymes
But we're we're lost on the Westway
So we hold each other tightly
And hold on for tomorrow

Singing
La la, la la la
La la la la la la la la x3
Holding on for tomorrow

Trying not to be sick again
And holding for tomorrow
She's a twentieth century girl
Hanging on for dear life
So we hold each other tightly
And hold on for tomorrow

Singing
La la, la la la
La la la la la la la la x3
Holding on for tomorrow

Jim stops and gets out the car,
goes to a house in Emperor's gate,
Through the door and to his room,
Then he puts the TV on,
Turns it off and makes some tea,
Says Modern Life Is Rubbish I'm
Holding on for tomorrow,
Then Susan comes into the room,
She's a naughty girl with a lovely smile,
Says let's take a drive to Primrose Hill,
It's windy there and the view's so nice,
London ice can freeze your toes
Like anyone I suppose
I'm
Holding on for tomorrow..

Do you feel like a chain store?
Practically floored
One of many zeros
Kicked around bored
Your ears are full but your empty
Holding out your heart
To people who never really
Care how you are
So give me Coffee and TV
History I’ve seen so much I’m goin blind
And i’m braindead virtually Sociability
It’s hard enough for me
Take me away form this big bad world
And agree to marry me
So we can start all over again
Do you go to the country
It isn’t very far
There’s people there who will hurt you
Cos of who you are
Your ears are full of the language
There’s wisdom there you’re sure
’Til the words start slurring
And you can’t find the door
So give me Coffee and TV
History I’ve seen so much
I’m goin blind
And i’m braindead virtually Sociability
It’s hard enough for me
Take me away form this big bad world
And agree to marry me
So we can start all over again
So give me Coffee and TV History
I’ve seen so much I’m goin blind
And i’m braindead virtually Sociability
It’s hard enough for me
Take me away form this big bad world
And agree to marry me
So we can start all over again
Oh...we could start over again
Oh...we could start over again
Oh...we could start over again
Oh...we could start over again

Where's the love song?
To set us free
Too many people down
Everything turning the wrong way around
And I don't know what love will be
But if we start dreaming now
Lord knows we'll never leave the clouds

[CHORUS:]
And you've been so busy lately
that you haven't found the time
To open up your mind
And watch the world spinning gently out of time

Feel the sunshine on your face
It's in a computer now
Gone are the future, way out in space

[REPEAT CHORUS] (x2)

Tell me I'm not dreaming but are we out of time?
(We're) out of time

Out of time (x4)

Air cushioned soles
I bought them on the Portbello Road on a Saturday
I stop and stare awhile
A common pastime when conversation goes astray

And don’t think I’m walking out of this
She don’t mind
Whatever I say, whatever I say
I don’t really want to change a thing
I want to stay this way forever

Blue, blue jeans I wear them every day
There’s no particular reason to change
My thoughts are getting banal, I can’t help it
But I won’t pull out hair another day

And don’t think I’m walking out of this
She don’t mind
Whatever I say, Whatever I say
I don’t really want to change a thing
I want to stay this way forever
If you don’t mind
Whatever I say, Whatever I say
I don’t really want to change a thing
I want to stay this way forever

You know it’s to be with you

Don’t give up on me yet
Don’t think I’m walking out of this
She don’t mind
Whatever I say, Whatever I say
I don’t really want to change a thing
I want to stay this way forever
If you don’t mind
Whatever I say, Whatever I say
I don’t really want to change a thing
I want to stay this way forever

You know it’s to be with you

I got my head checked
By a jumbo jet
It wasn't easy but nothing is no

When I feel heavy metal
woo hoo
And I'm pins and I'm needles
woo hoo
Well, I lie and I'm easy
All of the time but I'm never sure
Why I need you
Pleased to meet you

I got my head done
whem I was young
it's not broblem
it's not broblem
woo hoo
When I feel heavy metal
woo hoo
And I'm pins I'm needles
woo hoo
Well I lie and I'm easy
All of the time
But I'm never sure why
I need you
Pleased to meet you
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Oh yeah

Bugman


I am an ex offender
They let me out in the summer
I think I was in a coma
I didn’t know what to do
Oh no You go hang around go round
I’ll watch myself hang on
Look out for the Bugman
You go hang around around
I’ll watch myself hang on
Look out for the Bugman
I got no sent of existence
I know the nodding dogs
I go out in the city
I stay away from the bugs
Oh yeah You go hang around around
I watch myself hang on
Look out for the Bugman
You go hang around around
I watch myself hang on
Look out for the Bugman
The bu uh uh ug man
I go out in the city
I stay away from the bugs
Oh yeah na na na na na
oh oh... I go out in the city

Moscow's still red
The young man's dead
Gone to heaven instead
The evening news
Says he was confused
The motorways will all merge soon
Lottery winner buys the moon
They've come to save us
The space invaders are here
He thought of cars
And where Where to drive them
Who to drive them with
There There was no-one no-one
There's panic at London Heathrow
Everybody wants to go Up into the blue
But there's a ten year queue
Columbia is in top gear
It shouldn't snow this time of year
America's shot She's gone and done the lot
He thought of planes And where
Where to fly to And who to fly there with
And there There was no-one No-one

The death of the party
Came as no surprise
Why did we bother?
Should have stayed away
Another night And I thought "Well, well"
Go to another party and hang myself
Gently on the shelf The death of the teenager
Standing on his own Why did he bother?
Should have slept alone Another night
And I thought "Well, well"
Go to another party and hang myself
Gently on the shelf Another night
And I thought "Well, well"
Go to another party and hang myself
Gently on the shelf ?

This is the next century
Where the Universal's free
You can find it anywhere
Yes, the future's been sold
Every night we're gone
And to karaoke songs
How we like to sing along
'Though the words are wrong

It really, really, really could happen
Yes, it really, really, really could happen
When the days they seem to fall through you
Well, just let them go No-one here is alone

Satellite's in every home
Yes, the Universal's here
Here for everyone
Every paper that you read
Says tomorrow's your lucky day
Well, here's your lucky day

It really, really, really could happen
Yes, it really, really, really could happen
If the days they seem to fall through you
Well, just let them go

I can't feel
"Cos I am numb
I can't feel
"Cos I am numb
So what's the worth in all of this
What's the worth in all of this
Sing to me
So what's the worth in all of this
If the child in your head
If the child is dead
Sing to me

This Is a Low



And into the sea goes pretty england and me
Around the bay of biscay and back for tea
Hit traffic on the dogger bank
Up the thames to find a taxi rank
Sail on by with the tide and go asleep
And the radio says

(chorus)
This is a low
But it won't hurt you
When you are alone it will be there with you
Finding ways to stay solo

On the tyne forth and cramity
There's a low in the high forties
And saturday's locked away on the pier
Not fast enough dear
On the malin head, blackpool looks blue and red
And the queen, she's gone round the bend
Jumped off land's end

(chorus x 3)

I see her face everyday
I see her face
It doesn't help me

I see her face everyday
I see her face
It doesn't help me

She's so high
She's so high
She's so high
I want to crawl all over her

She's so high
She's so high
She's so high
I want to crawl all over her

I think of her everyday
I think of her
It doesn't help me

I think of her everyday
I think of her
It doesn't help me

She's so high

The pay-me girl has had enough of the bleeps
So she takes the bus into the country
Although she got herself rosy cheeks
She didn’t leave enough money to pay the rent
The landlord says that she’s out in a week
What a shame she was just getting comfy
Now she’s eating chocolate to induce sleep
In a chemical world, It’s very, very, very cheap

And I don’t know about you
But they’re putting the holes in, yes, yes
It’s been a hell of a do
They’ve been putting the holes in, yes, yes

Peeping Thomas has a very nice view
Across the street at the exhibitionist
These townies they never speak to you
Just stick together so they never get lonely
Feeling lead, feeling quite light-headed
Had to sit down and have some sugary tea
In chemical world, in a chemical world
It’s very, very, very cheap

And I don’t know about you
But they’re putting the holes in, yes, yes
It’s been a hell of a do
They’ve been putting the holes in, yes, yes, yes

I don’t know about you
But they’re putting the holes in, yes, yes
It’s been a hell of a do
They’ve been putting the holes in, yes, yes
And now she’s found about you
But they’re putting the holes in, yes, yes
Well I don’t know about you
They’ve been putting the holes in, yes, yes

Until you can see right through
Until you can see right through
Until you can see right through

Good Song

Waiting, I got no town to hide in
The country's got a hold of my soul
TV's dead and there ain't no war in my head
And you seem very beautiful to me

Sleeping but my works not done
I could be lying on an atom bomb
I'll take care
Cause I know you'll be there
You seem very beautiful to me

It is the rest of your life keeps a rolling and rolling
Picture in my pocket looks like you
It is the rest of your life keeps a rolling, rolling, rolling along

Confidence is a preference for the habitual voyeur of what is known as... (Parklife!)

And morning soup can be avoided if you take a route straight chrough what is known as... (Parklife!)

John's got brewer's droop, he gets intimidated by the dirty pigeons - they love a bit of it. (Parklife!)

Who's that gut lord marching? You should cut down on your porklife, mate, get some exercise! (Parklife!)



CHORUS:

All the people

So many people

And they all go hand in hand

Hand in hand through their parklife



Know what I mean?



I get up when I want, except on Wednesdays, when I get rudely wakened by the dustmen. (Parklife!)

I put my trousers on, have a cup of tea, and I think about leaving the house. (Parklife!)

I feed the pigeons, I sometimes feed the sparrows too.

It gives me a sense of enormous well-being. (Parklife!)

And then I'm happy for the rest of the day,

safe in the knowledge there will always be a bit of my heart devoted to it.





CHORUS



Parklife - Parklife!

Parklife - Parklife!

It's got nothing to do with your vorsprung durch technic, you now.

Parklife - Parklife!

And it's not about you joggers who go round and round and round...

Parklife - Parklife!



chorus 두번 반복

It’s six o’clock on the dot and I’m half way home
I feel foul mouthed as I stand and wait for the underground
And a nervous disposition doesn’t agree with this
I need something to remind me that there’s something else

You need a holiday, somewhere in the sun
With all the people who are waiting, there never seems to be one
Say something, say something else
Say something, say something else

Advertisements are here for rapid persuasion
If you stare too long you lose your appetite
A nervous disposition doesn’t agree with this
You need fast relief from aches and stomach pains

I need a holiday, somewhere in the sun
With all the people who are waiting, there never seems to be one
Say something, say something else
Say something, say something else


You can have our holidays, yes ladies and gentlemen, for
one day only, a special offer

You need a holiday, somewhere in the sun
With all the people who are waiting, there never seems to be one
Say something, say something else
Go on!
Say something, say something else
Say something, say something else
Say something, say something else

A fervoured image of another world
Is nothing in particular now
And imitation comes naturally
But I never really stopped to think how
And everyone is a clever clone
A chrome coloured clone am I
So in the abscence of a way of life
Just repeat this again and again...and again
Hey, hey come out tonight
Hey, hey come out tonight
Popscene, all right

I’m leaving town to run away
Right into your twisted arms
No queues and there’s no panic there
Just dangling your feet in the grass
My lack of natural luster now
Seems to be losing me friends
So in the abscence of a way of life
Just repeat this again and again...and again
Hey, hey come out tonight
Hey, hey come out tonight
Popscene!

Hey, hey come out tonight
Hey, hey come out tonight
Popscene, all right
Hey, hey come out tonight
Hey, hey come out tonight
Popscene!

Stereotypes


The suburbs they are dreaming
They're a twinkle in her eye
She's been feeling frisky since her husband said goodbye
She wears a low cut T-shirt Runs a little B&B
She's most accomodating when she's in her lingerie
Wife-swapping is your future You know that it would suit ya
Yes They're stereotypes
There must be more to life
All your life you're dreaming And then you
Stop dreaming From time to time you know you should be
Going on another bender The suburbs they are sleeping
But he's dressing up tonight
She likes a man in uniform
He likes to wear it tight
They're on the lovers' sofa
They're on the patio And when the fun is over
Watch themselves on video
The neighbours may be staring
But they are just past caring
Yes The stereotypes There must be more to life
All your life you're dreaming And then you
Stop dreaming Time to time you know
You're going on another bender
Yes There must be more to life Than stereotypes

Trimm Trabb



I got no style I’ll take my time
All those losers on the piss again
I dose dose away That’s just the way it is
That’s just the way it is I’ve got trimm trabb
Like the flash boys have And I can’t go back
Let it flow, let it flow I sleep alone I sleep alone
That’s just the way it is Just the way it is
Just the way it is Just the way it is
Just the way it is That’s just the way it is
I got trimm trabb Like the flash boys have
And I can’t go back Let it flow, let it flow
I sleep alone I sleep alone...

So far

I've not really stayed in touch

Well, you knew as much

It's no surprise

That today

I get up around two

From a lack of anything to do

And I might as well just grin and bear it

Cuz it's not worth the trouble of an argument


And you

Not really stayed in touch

Well, I knew as much

It's no surprise

That today

I get up around two

With nothing to do

Except get a touch of flu


And I might as well just grin and bear it

Cuz it's not worth the trouble of an argument

And in any case, I'd rather wear it

It's like a bad head in the morning

And I know

All I want to be Is washed out by the sea
No Death Star over me
Won't give me any peace
All I want is light relief
Put the crazies on the street
Give them guns and feed them meat
They'll shoot the Death Star down
Dig a hole and put it down
A thousand miles underground
They say it's no game
There's strange news from another star
I'm lost, I'm lost There's strange news from another star
Give me all your stuff
Until I can't get up
Watch the whole world freeze
Counting tin cans in our sleep
Submarines are diving deep
And don't believe in me And don't believe in me
All I've ever done is tame
Will you love me all the same
Will you love me though it's always the same
They say it's no game
There's strange news from another star
I'm lost, I'm lost
There's strange news from another star
From another star From another star
From another star ?

Battery In Your Leg

This is a ballad for the good times
So put a battery in your leg
Put a rock beat over anything
Get it stuck there in your head
You can be with me

I got nothing to rely on
I've broken every bone
Everybody's stop believing
But you know you're not alone
You can be with me

This is a ballad for the good times
And all the dignity we had
Don't get het up on the evil things
You ain't coming back
You can be with me
If you want to be
You can be with me...
