You never hear the one that hits you, no!
Well, you work real hard and you stay in line Got your nose to the grindstone all the time Then they say, "I'm sorry and I know it's hard But there ain't no work, just pick up your cards" And you never hear the one that hits you no Never did, never will You never hear the one that hits you no Never did, never will You never hear the one that hits you no, no, no So you send applications all over town and the only replies are to turn you down Then after months someone's on the phone And you get to the interview the job's long gone And you never hear the one that hits you no Never did, never will You never hear the one that hits you no Never did, never will You never hear the one that hits you no, no, no Sneaks up behind you and hits you in the head So you reach the point where you just don't care And you've made up your mind to live on fresh air Cos it doesn't matter what's been done or said And you better start living, you're a long time dead And you never hear the one that hits you no Never did, never will And you never hear the one that hits you no Never did, never will And you never hear the one that hits you no, no, no |

Then the rain came down
And washed all hope away And your life's a train But it only goes one way What about the times when you were happy Balance them against the times you're sad Was there once a time when you felt lucky Or do you regret the times you've had Chorus: Cos sometimes I feel I live in a tinderbox And just one spark Sets the whole thing off And sometimes I see The light die within me And the flame go out Leave me in the dark When your world's a mess And imbecility gets you down When you can't accept The stupidity that's around What about the times when you were focused What about the times you know who you are Do you find it hard containing your emotions Do you find it hard to just get out the door I'm hangin' in you're hangin' on (x2) |

Walk the streets at midnight
As the rain pours down and freezes on the ground Lean against a street light Try to work out where it all went wrong I can see you in my mind's eye I have no choice I can hear you in the wild wind I hear your voice Your voice Can't believe it's over I can't believe that I walked out the door A misplaced sense of honour Led me to believe I knew the score I can see you in reflections You're there all the time And if only you would let me I'd change my mind Chorus: In the dead of night (I would be there for you) I'd be on your side (My help would see you through) Trust in me don't cry (There now you'll be all right) In the dead of night It happened all so quickly One day we were there and now we are gone I wish that you'd forgive me Now I know that I'm the one who's wrong Can't believe I'm so stupid I would not see That you never gave up trying Or loving me (Chorus) And I couldn't blame you now If you didn't want me back No I couldn't blame you now Walk the streets at midnight As the rain pours down and mixes with my tears And I know I've no right To try to see you after all these years But you're always with me I have no choice And I know I'll remember And I'll hear your voice (Chorus) |

Broken glass everywhere
People pissing on the station Y'know they just don't care I can't take the smell I can't take the noise I got no money to move out I guess I got no choice Rats in the front room Roaches in the back Junkies in the alley with a baseball bat I tries to get away but I couldn't get far Cos a man with a truncheon re-possessed my car Chorus: Don't push me cos I'm close to the edge I'm trying not to lose my head It's like a jungle sometimes It makes me wonder how I keep from going under My son said: "Daddy, I don't wanna go to school Cos the teacher's a jerk, he must think I'm a fool And all the kids smoke reefer I think it'd be cheaper If I just got a job learned to be a street sweeper I'll dance to the beat, shuffle my feet wear a shirt and tie And run with the creeps" Cos it's all about money ain't a damn thing funny You got to have a car in this land of milk and honey A child is born with no state of mind Blind to the ways of mankind God is smiling on you but he's frowning too Because only God knows what you'll go through You'll grow in the ghetto living second rate And your eyes will see a song of deep hate The places you play and where you stay Looks like one great big alleyway You'll admire all the number book takers The pimps the pushers and the big money makers Driving great big cars spending twenties and tens And you want to grow up to be just like them Smugglers scramblers burglars gamblers Pickpocket pedlars even panhandlers You say I'm cool I'm no fool But then you end up dropping right outa school Now you're unemployed null and void Walking round like you're Pretty Boy Floyd Turn stick up kid look what you done did Got sent up for an eight year bid Being used and abused to serve like hell Till one day you was found hung dead in the cell |

Well, I find it hard to concentrate
While you sit there and contemplate Why success is such an aphrodisiac Cos when push comes down to shove And you start to talk of love I don't know why I don't get up And give your face a smack When I think of all the lies I've told It's a wonder I can stand myself Chorus: It's just my ever changing moral stance is up for grabs again My ever changing moral stance is up for grabs again Though you leave no room for guessing I guess I ain't learnt my lesson Cos it's getting to the point Where there's no turning back I don't need this anymore And I should just walk out the door If I stay here any longer Then I'm bound to crack When I think of all the lies I've told It's a wonder I can stand myself Chorus I didn't dream my being here would hurt you I didn't mean to hurt no-one I didn't think But then I never do So now I find I hate you And I find I just berate you Cos you played along With all the things I asked you to So please now don't come near Cos I've had it up to here And I thought I'd made it clear That I feel such a fool When I think of all the lies you told It's a wonder you can stand yourself Chorus: It's my ever changing moral stance is up for grabs again My ever changing moral stance is up for grabs again My ever changing moral stance is up for grabs again My ever changing moral stance is up for grabs again |

Hey you, yeah I'm trying to get through
Past that chip upon your shoulder Come here need a word in your ear This can't go on much longer You break what we try to create And I'm sure that you enjoy it Don't care if it's proper or fair Just as long as it's annoying I see a stillness in your eyes Says it's a game And it's a shame Hurricane As chaos rages round you You're sure that you're not to blame I know your name Hurricane You smile as you flatter and lie And twist the knife behind us So what if the problems we've got Will tie us up and bind us It's tough no-one's calling your bluff But I have made my mind up Take care now you'd better prepare I've taken my last wind up You stand there smiling Like you weren't the one to blame You're in the frame Hurricane I stand here screaming That I've taken all I'll take I know your game Hurricane I see a stillness in your eyes Says it's a game And it's a shame Hurricane As chaos rages round you You're sure that you're not to blame I know your name Hurricane I stand here screaming That I've taken all I'll take |

And if life starts to get you down
Don't fall and go under Or if it's pushing you around Don't think of surrender Or if you feel like crying Don't give up you can't give up no Just give it one more try And don't give up the fight Chorus : Cos you can move mountains You can do anything you choose You can move mountains When you find it's down to attitude And when the boss gets on your back And you've got to take it Don't think it's something that you lack Just believe and you'll make it And if he's grinding you down Don't give lip you can't give up no I know you'll turn it around And don't give up the fight |

Judgement man
On the bench again Telling me what I've done wrong Judgement man Throws away the key Says he's putting me where I belong Government man On my TV screen Telling me what's right for me But the government man On the TV screen Doesn't see things that I can see He's calling : Trust me need me Put your faith in my lies Believe me Trust me need me We're moving on Cos we're past believing Chorus: We are a river flowing And you can't turn the river round We are a river flowing Why don't you jump in the river and drown Police man On the beat again Beating all that he can find Criminal man On the street again Steal instead of serving time Preacher man On the satellite Says he gonna save my heart All it takes is a telephone call And a current credit card He's crying: Hold me feel me Put your hands on my head and heal me Hold me fleece me We're moving on Cos we're past believing For too long now You've denied the truth Now you have to face your fear Cos for too long now You've had all the power But you can't last another year C'mon: Face me see me Realise that I'm what you made me Hear me join me Or stand aside as the tide come sweeping |

Why should I apologise for things I haven't done?
You always crucify me and look like you're having fun You say that I'm a stranger when I walk through my front door But if this keeps on keeping on I won't go in there no more You hate my friends you hate the hours I keep the job I do I can't believe I ever thought I'd spend my life with you You don't believe in me I can't believe you ever will Why should I explain myself when everything's alright You make me feel so guilty I can't get to sleep at night You push me and harass me making all my life seem small The way you're acting lately's bound to drive me up the wall You take my dreams and smash them leave them broken on the floor I think it might be better if I just walked out the door [Chorus rpt:] You don't believe in me No you don't believe in me You don't believe in me No you don't believe in me |

It's all or nothing
That's how you've always been All or nothing With nothing in between You can't compromise You can't quit while you're ahead You won't see reason You think that's giving in We try to tell you But you're not listening Now I realise The only help you'll take Chorus: It's in your hand The power to change To make a stand To come of age It's in your hand It's worse than pointless To try to talk to you You've made your mind up There's nothing we can do Gets worse every day You'd think you had it planned Throw it all away Chorus rpt: In your hand but you won't use it Rather throw your life away (Rpt above couplet) It's all or nothing So nothing it'll be You see I've made my mind up And I won't intervene Throw it all away Throw it all away I don't care Throw it all away |

I need no help, no aid
I don't need your assistance I stand alone my friend And you can walk on by Don't think I'm lonely Cos I'm drinking here alone Sometimes it's easier To spend time on my own Chorus: You didn't mean to make me sad You didn't aim to make me cry I wouldn't really feel so bad It's just dust in my eye You were my yesterdays I'm looking for tomorrows You keep the fun you had And I will keep the sorrows I know it's over And I'm happy that you're gone At least I realise That I'm the lucky one Chorus: You didn't mean to make me sad You didn't aim to make me cry I wouldn't really feel so bad It's just dust in my eye |

I could be a soldier
Go out there and fight to save this land Be a people's soldier Paramilitary gun in hand I won't be no soldier I won't take no orders from no-one Stuff their fucking armies Killing isn't my idea of fun They wanna waste my life They wanna waste my time They wanna waste my life And they've stolen it away I could be a hero Live and die for their 'important' cause A united nation Or an independent state with laws And rules and regulations That merely cause disturbances and wars That is what I've got now All thanks to the freedom-seeking hordes They wanna waste my life They wanna waste my time They wanna waste my life And they've stolen it away I'm not gonna be taken in They said if I don't join I just can't win I've heard that story many times before And every time I threw it out the door Still they come up to me With a different name but the same old face I can see the connection With another time and a different place They ain't blonde-haired or blue-eyed But they think that they're the master race They're nothing but blind fascists Brought up to hate and given lives to waste They wanna waste my life They wanna waste my time They wanna waste my life And they've stolen it away |

(Jake Burns)
So you're living on a false reputation You're a big man in this town And it seems by your own estimation That you're a character of renown But it's all deceptive Your facade's defective Yet it's what's expected When you're really just the same as all of us Chorus |

He joined up to get a job
And show he wasn't scared Swapped boy scout hat for army cap hed finally be prepared At the age of 17 he was forced to choose Now at the age of 21 he's in Catch 22 He joined up for just three years It seemed a small amount But they didn't tell him That the first two didn't count At the age of 17 how was he to know That at the age of 21 he'd still have one to go? (Chorus:) Tin soldier He signed away his name Tin soldier No chance for cash or fame Tin soldier Now he knows the truth Tin soldier He signed away his youth He joined up cos Dad knew best To do right by his son Now he hates and counts the dates That mark time on square one At the age of 17 he did as he was told Now at the age of 21 tin still won't turn to gold (Chorus) If at the age of 17 you fall in line too soon At the age of 21 you'll still march to their tune Tin soldiers You sign away your name No chance for cash or fame You never see the truth You sign away your youth You go and join the queue Do what they want you to They take away your name They treat you all the same Sign away you life |
