I was high on a molatov of cocktails,
I was low on a hundred things, I was wrong to put my money where my mouth was, I was right about the whales and the dolphins, Whales and dolphins, whales and dolphins, yeah. And I don't mind preserving time at all. I was blue about the people in the power, I was green that's my excuse, I was yellow when they said to fight the reds, 'Cos I knew I'd be beaten black and blue, Black and blue, battered and bruised, yeah. Hold the line, just give it some time then (call)... "Cor", what I like and what I hate about perseverance, Ooh, what I'd give and what I'd take for perseverance. I was round and about in the area, I was square in my suit and tie, I was lost in the Bermuda triangle, It all went pear-shaped, twisted and twined, Twisted and twined, twisted and twined, yeah. And I don't mind preserving time at all. Hold the line, just give it some time then (call)... "Cor", what I like and what I hate about perseverance, Ooh, what I'd give and what I'd take for perseverance. I was lost on the road to nowhere, I was a guest on a runaway train, I was happy 'cos I knew I was innocent, They were glad to let me take the blame, Taking the blame, taking the blame, taking the blame, It's always the same 'cos I... what I like and what I hate about perseverance, Ooh, what I'd give and what I'd take for perseverance, I haven't time, I haven't space for perseverance, 'Cos I swap and change just when I like to keep up appearance. |

He's in the bar, he's in your hair,
With his sports keyring jangling he's everywhere, He's in your view, he's in your face, Straight out of the seventies to straight out of place. His collars turned up high he's on top of the world, Sliding down the bar he's always falling, falling, With his one good eye he winks at what he thinks is girls, Opens toothless grin and then he's crawling, crawling. And I'm a moving, I'm a grooving, And I'm a smooching, and he's a discotheque wreck, yeah! He's in your sight, he's in your pocket, He's a superfly guy without a superfly rocket, Every night he's on your case, A terrible reality of disco race. His collars turned up high he's on top of the world, Sliding down the bar he's always falling, falling, With his one good eye he winks at what he thinks is girls, Opens toothless grin and then he's crawling, crawling. And I'm a moving, I'm a grooving, And I'm a smooching, and he's a discotheque wreck, yeah! I can mashed potato. I can do the twist. Tell me baby, Do you like it like this. When I'm a moving, I'm a grooving, And I'm a smooching, and he's a discotheque wreck, yeah! I'm a moving, I'm a grooving, And I'm a smooching, and he's a discotheque wreck. <i>[x2]</i> |

Some people say that what I know should be kept secret
Some people say I don't know anything at all Some people say that what I do could be dangerous Some people say I don't do anything at all Some people say this is a song that needs the drums in Some people say no it's a song for the bass Some people say that they can't stand what they're hearing Some people say who gives a damn what they say Do you think I care, do you think I care Do you think I know or I'm aware Do you think I care what you say when I'm oblivious Some people say that I look just like my father Some people say I've got my mother's eyes Some people say I'm like my brother 'cause I'm honest and truthful Some people say they know my brother's just another lie Do you think I care, do you think I care Do you think I know or I'm aware Do you think I care what you say when I'm oblivious Some people say that we should let the search continue Some people say just what the hell's going on Do you think I care, do you think I care Do you think I know or I'm aware Do you think I care what you say when I'm oblivious *love, maya* |

When you laugh, it just makes me cry,
When you cry, it just makes me smile, When you smile, well that makes me mad, When you're mad, it just makes me laugh. When you're high, it just makes me low, When you're low, it just picks me up, You feel up, well that gets me down, When you're down, it makes me feel high. And you never gave me anything, but I ended up with less, Blame it on the bad actress. And I never asked for everything, but I ended up a mess, Blame it on the bad actress. If you leave, that means I'll stay, If you stay, I'll just have to go, When you go then I'll have to wait, If you wait I'll just have to leave. And you never gave me anything, but I ended up with less, Blame it on the bad actress. And I never asked for everything, but I ended up a mess, Blame it on the bad actress. If I was to say anything you'd say the opposite, Maybe try to suggest something and just get torn to bits, We could both think up the same thing and you'd say say something else, We could not agree on one thing except for how it felt. And you never gave me anything, but I ended up with less, Blame it on the bad actress. And I never asked for everything, but I ended up a mess, Blame it on the bad actress. And you never gave me anything, never gave me anything, Never gave me anything, never gave me anything, Never gave me anything but I ended up a mess, Blame it on the bad actress. |

The odds have built up of the chance you're going down,
'cause you're looking pretty guilty in the court of the crown, And my friend's getting eager to complete this mission, It's better all round just to sign the confession. Doesn't matter if you're innocent or guilty as hell, My friend's got a feeling that you're feeling unwell, Who cares about the truth, the truth's there to bend, Do as I say I'm your only friend. The wicked step father that took a step farther, Played the patron saint in his shining armor, With his sword of power and shield to protect you, Tongue hanging out 'cause he's going to get you. You know I want to hug you, you know I want to kiss you, It's your dear old pop and you know I really miss you, In the pantomime of life look out he's behind you, Says no I'm just here to remind you. Best friend I'm all that you've got, Pretend best friend if you like it or not, Pretend best friend so don't talk to them, You've got to talk to me 'cause I'm your best friend. Call yourself a friend, That drives me round the bend, You call me when you like, And call me what you like. Was it the father or the son or the holy ghost, The butler in the kitchen or the game-show host, The policeman on the corner who'll show you the way, The geezer with a beard comes on Xmas day. Could be your mother or your father or your sister or your brother, Doesn't matter who it is they'll say there ain't no other, Might never see 'em or you meet them every day, But who gives a damn when you hear them say. Best friend I'm all that you've got, Pretend best friend if you like it or not, Pretend best friend so don't talk to them, You've got to talk to me 'cause I'm your best friend |

I had a friend called Joe,
When friends were hard to find, He had a restless soul, And something on his mind, One day I went away, and then returned to the scene, Not to find restless Joe no, But to find Josephine, I asked her what her game was, She said Joe had left the scene, I asked her what her name was, And she said.......They call me Josephine. It took a while to click, But then I got the gist, The girl by my side, Was the guy I'd missed, I took her for a beer, To talk about old times, Just to find that beer, Was now a sweet white wine, I asked her what her game was, She said Joe had left the scene, I asked her what her name was, And she said.......They call me Josephine. So we talked all night, And I just can't pretend, Although I lost old Joe, I got a new girlfriend, I asked her what her game was, She said Joe had left the scene, I asked her what her name was, And she said.......They call me Josephine. I asked her what her game was, She said Joe had left the scene, I asked her what her name was, And she said.......They call me Josephine. |

I'm the man who came to dinner,
Said I wasn't stopping long, I brought a present wrapped in misery, And a bottle of sad songs. You still said , Come on in, Make yourself at home, Would you like a drink, Let me take your coat. I stand well back in the corner, With a sneer on my face, I've got the weight of the world on my shoulders, Ready to fall on this place. And I felt like one of the family, And I could be whoever I want to be. I took you down to the sea, And let you swim in deep blue water, Sunk your suspicions but then, You couldn't get back to the shore. Come on in, Make yourself at home, Would you like a drink, Let me take your coat. |

I gambled with my house, when I lost my car,
I gambled with my car, trying to win back my wife, I lost my family on a sure fire thing, Then I lost against the odds when I gambled with my life. Now I'm on a list, I'm on a list, The celebrity hit list, Another target out on the market, The celebrity hit list. I had a decent house, I had a fancy car, I need a fancy car to drive my fancy wife, I had a family as a sure fire thing, I'd won against the odds first prize, a nice life. Now I'm on a list, I'm on a list, The celebrity hit list, Another target out on the market, The celebrity hit list. And when I fly, I always fly at least as high as the sky, And when I fall, I always fall at least as hard as you all. Now I'm on a list, I'm on a list, The celebrity hit list, Another target out on the market, The celebrity hit list. <i>[x2]</i> And when I fly, I always fly at least as high as the sky, 'Cos when I fly, I always fly... |

> More work, less pay is what everybody says is all that I deserve,
So why they kicking my butt and breaking my bones now, And as the trouble flares Im drunk who cares that this life aint meant for me, So Im just holding my breath for a brand new day now, Well go on, Ill be damned mother said I kicked off long before I could walk, She said that I swore and I cursed long before I could talk, For Ive an infliction, a terrible thing, Fists of fury and a tongue with a sting, Seems such a shame but it kept us entertained now, Whats more to say? Not for a dollar a day, its not my job or my concern, So why am I asking you if youre alright there mate? Youve got to dial nine to get an outside line to dial nine nine nine from here, Press one if its urgent or two for a real emergency, Well go on, Ill be damned mother said I kicked off long before I could walk, She said that I swore and I cursed long before I could talk, For Ive an infliction, a terrible thing, Fists of fury and a tongue with a sting, Seems such a shame but it kept us entertained now, Seems such a shame but it kept us entertained now, Seems such a shame but it kept us entertained now. |

In my house, there's a place I can hide,
When I feel a surge of self pity, In my house there's a place where I sit, And watch the violence on the telly, In my house there's a kitchen, Where we eat, drink and cook, And in my house there's an attic at the top, where my sister and her boyfriend go. My house, get down the stairs, My house, 'till your dad gets home, My house, listen son there's a few rules you should know, About living in My house, do as you're told, My house, have you got that straight, My house, if you wanna own it then you just better wait. In My house, there's a bathroom, It's a lovely shade of green, In My house, there's a best room, And mum keeps that real clean, In My house, there's five bedrooms, And there's only four of us, In My house, there's an alley down the back, And a hut that ain't up to much. |

If I had three wishes, I'd wish for five,
Panorama, men at work, oh man alive, If I had five wishes I'd wish for six, I'd have a Midas touch and not a nervous twitch, If I had six wishes I'd wish for seven, No I'll go the whole hog give me a hundred and eleven wishes, What are they all for, So I can have everything I've ever wished for and more, If I had three wishes I'd wish for five, Then I could breath under water and I'd still be alive, I'd be as strong as ten tigers and fly through sky, Or be completely invisible yet still pleasing to the eye, Oh just nine wishes, no make it ten, So I can travel through time and start all over again. So I can travel through time and start all over again. <i>[Refrain:]</i> If I had three wishes I'd wish for five, Peace on earth, ban the bomb, get along and survive, If I had five wishes I'd wish for six, I'd have a flat in the city and a house in the sticks, If I had six wishes I'd wish for seven, Just decide what you want and then make it happen. Just decide what you want and then make it happen. <i>[Refrain:]</i> Wish me luck, wish me well, Wish me all the best and the rest to hell, Wish happy birthday, wish good new year, It's a wish wash there I bet you was here, It's a wish wash there I bet you were here, <i>[Refrain:]</i> If I had three wishes, I'd have a hundred and eleven wishes. <i>[repeat to end]</i> |

You know I couldn't be me, if it wasn't for you,
I feel like shit and look like plastic, but I'll get through, You know its plain to see what's going to do, As long as it don't get too drastic then we can't lose. Don't blame the middleman, come to me, I'll tell you what I can, all you need, Cut out the middleman, wait and see... It was you that told me, the aliens had landed, And it was you that told me, the end had just begun. Don't blame the middleman, come to me, I'll tell you what I can, all you need, Cut out the middleman, wait and see... But now we're in this thing together, You can't escape I've got you trapped deep inside, You said you'd stay with me forever, Where are you now when I need you as my alibi. You left me all alone, in my hour of need, I tried to explain the situation, but they don't believe me. Don't blame the middleman, come to me, I'll tell you what I can, all you need, Cut out the middleman, wait and see... |

He was born diseased with a twisted mind,
His hands his feet his elbows tied, Sleeps by the day and in the night he crys. The bastard son of a travelling man, Conceived and born in a caravan, Lives where he could and comes out when he can. Death of a rock star, Played by an actor, Gotta make a film 'cos he died in a fast car, With lots of booze, drugs and sex, Make him up a demi god invent all the rest. Like character John's been trying it on, To get his picture in the news, He took a leap from his pad, The same place that his dad, Choked on a video so blue. This is the land of the free, tuning in to 6.15, We'll always want but we'll never need...On American TV. Searching for our liberty, fight the fight to succeed, Living out the American dream...On American TV. V for victory, U,S, of A, Always search for the American way, Take a bite of the big apple, kick a coca-cola can, All stand up salute Uncle Sam. Put a man on the moon now aint too soon, Another Russian spy puts a spanner in and BOOM, From Washington to Tennessee, We put the bullets in the Kennedys. |

If all the people in the world camped out in your back garden,
Would you write and tell the king or would you grab a tent and join 'em, I can see that all the possibilities for freedom, Could just sway your first decision to subject them all to oblivion. And do you feel your life is threatened by fabricated stories, Dreamt up by the sons of campers that you killed back in the forties, I could see that all the possibilities for conflict, Could just back up your decision to subject them all to oblivion. I can't stand the things that they do to me, I won't wait for Jesus to prove to me. When all the people in the world move out of your back garden, Would you celebrate the passing of your life as Mr. Badman, You could see that all the possibilities in peacetime, Should force a new decision don't subject them all to oblivion. I can't stand the things that they do to me, I won't wait for Jesus to prove to me. I can't stand the things that they do to me, I won't wait for Jesus to prove to me. Oh goodness, my gracious, I hope its not contagious, Although it seems its catching it's best not to get careless. Oh goodness, my gracious, I hope its not contagious, Although it seems its catching it's best not to get careless. Oblivion Oblivion Oblivion Oblivion |
