Keeping a brave face
In circumstances
Is impossible
Cannot describe
So many decisions
It's impossible
To know which is
The proper order
The best position
To be in
Take advantage
Or so it seems
The way it goes.

It's tragic / Sandman comes
Laid down on your side / Two to one
Too easy / In the dark
You know that, you know / Dark reflections
You're soaking wet / In my head
You talk too much / In my bed
It's not necessary / Again

Before the ice melts / Sandman goes
I just want to say / Two in tow
This racket's yours / Wet and dumb
Don't ask for more / Three's the number
'Cause somewhere along the line / Coming down
Coming round again
I've forgotten already

IT'S SIX O'CLOCK ON THE DOT AND I'M HALF WAY HOME
I FEEL FOUL MOUTHED AS I STAND AN WAIT FOR THE UNDERGROUND
AND A NERVOUS DISPOSITION DOES'NT AGREE WITH THIS
I NEED SOMETHING TO REMIND ME THAT THERE IS SOMETHING ELSE

[CHORUS]
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

ADVERTISMENTS ARE HERE FOR RAPID PERSUASION
IF YOU STARE TOO LONG YOU LOOSE YOUR APPETITE
A NERVOUS DISPOSITION DOESN'T AGREE WITH THIS
YOU NEED FAST RELIEF FROM ACHES AND STOMACH PAINS

[CHORUS]

DO YOU ADVERT THINK

Give me gas, if it gets too much
Not an uncommon thing, everyone does as such
Here we go, upon all fours
Got bright ideas, on how to win wars

All we want, all we ever want
Is to feel something, but I just say nothing
All we want, all anybody wants
Is to feel something, but I just feel nothing

Another episode, just got binned
Next weeks repeat, sees me living in
In consequence, vitality
Struck hidden eyes, it's all over me

All we want, all we ever want
Is to feel something, but I just say nothing
All we want, all anybody wants
Is to feel something, but I just feel nothing
Is to feel something, but I just feel nothing

Ambulance

I ain't got
Nothing to be scared of,
No I ain't got
Nothing to be scared of
No I ain't got
Anything to be scared of
'Cos I love you

I was born out of love
It's the only way to come into this world
I know I'm not all there
But I'm getting, getting, getting there
If you let me live my life
I'll stay with you to the end
And I know, lord
I'm nearly there
I want to tell you this

I ain't got
Nothing to be scared of, no
No I ain't got
Nothing to be scared of, no
No I ain't got
Anything to be scared
Cause I love you

Anything

Do you love
Anyone
You ever loved
Yes, she said

This is the voice of someone
Calling from a lonely hill
To the hard of hearing
For those who never will

A long legged someone
Seen walking away from home
Look a vacant dreamer
Walking alone alone

Ways that turn and turn
Which is what we'd learn
As suffering believers
In the book of Badgeman Brown

They're dropping like flies
In a suburban house
From a lack of anything
Anything to keep their hands in

And the town keeps screaming
From a lonely hill
Another lack of people
Those who never will

Ways that turn and turn
Which I what we'd learn
As suffering believers
In the book of Badgeman Brown

This is the voice of someone
Calling from a lonely hill
For the hard of hearing
For those who never will

The days will turn and turn
Which is what we'd learn
As average believers
In the book of Badgeman Brown

So far i've not really stayed in touch
Well you knew as much it's no surprise that today
I'll get up early too from a lack of anything to do

And I might as well just grin and bear it
Because it's not worth the trouble of an argument

And you have not really stayed in touch
Well I knew as much it's no surprise that today
I get up for round two with nothing to do
Except get a touch of flu

And I might as well grin and bear it
Because it's not worth the trouble of an argument
And in any case i'd rather wear it
It's like a badhead in the morning

And I know

And I might as well grin and bear it
Because it's not worth the trouble of an argument
And in any case i'd rather wear it
It's like a badhead in the morning

Sitting in a SDT
Waiting for an underground train
To rumble underneath my feet
Bang goes another day
Where it went I could not say
Now I'll have to wait another week
When all is said and all is done
What was said was never done
Don't panic
It's not really worth your while
Bang goes another year
In and out of one ear
Everybody's doing it
So do it too
I don't need anyone
But a little love
Would make things better
Sitting on the early bus
Passing through the morning rush
It makes no difference
That I'm not with you
Bang goes another year
In and out of one ear
Everybody is doing it
I'll do it too
I Know

Sitting in a SDT
Waiting for an underground trail
To rumble undemeath my teeth
Bang goes another day
Where it went I could not say
Now I'll have to wait another week
When all is said and all is done
What was said was never done
Don't panic
It's not really worth your while
Bang goes another year
In and out of one ear
Everybody's doing it
So do it too
I don't need anyone
But a little love
Would make things better
Sitting on the early bus
Passing through the morning rush
It makes no difference
That I'm not with you
Bang goes another year
In and out of one ear
Everybody is doing it
I'll do it too

Grandma needs new dentures
To eat the crust on pizza
Been taken out by her daughter
Because she thought she oughta
The kids are eating Snickers
Because they're so delicious
Then there's sticky fingers
And mother loses her knickers

Bank holiday comes six times a year
Days of enjoyment to which everyone cheers
Bank holiday comes with a six pack of beer
Then it's back to work A-G-A-I-N

Barbecue is cooking
Sausages and chicken
The patio is buzzing
And neighbours, they are looking
John is down the fun pub
Drinking lots of lager
Girls and boys are on the game
And all the high streets look the same

Bank holiday comes six times a year
Days of enjoyment to which everyone cheers
Bank holiday comes with a six pack of beer
Then it's back to work A-G-A-I-N

Back to work A-G-A-I-N

Bank holiday comes six times a year
Days of enjoyment to which everyone cheers
Bank holiday comes with a six pack of beer
Then it's back to work A-G-A-I-N

Bank holiday

Grandma has got new dentures
To eat the crust on pizza
Been taken out by her daughter
Because she thought she ought'a
The kids are eating snickers
Because they're so delicious
Then there's sticky fingers
And mother looses her knickers

(chorus)
Bank holiday comes six times a year

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...

Bow Bells say goodbye to the last train
Over the river they all go again
Out into leafy nowhere
Hope someone's waiting out there
For them
Cabbie has his mind on a fare to the sun
He works nights but it's not much fun
Picks up the London yo-yo's
All on their own down Soho
Take me home

Other people wouldn't like to hear you
If you said
That these are the best days
Of our lives
Other people turn around and laugh at you
If you said
That these are the best days
Of our lives

Trellick Tower's been calling
I know she'll leave me in the morning
In hotel cells listening to dial tones
Remote controls and cable moans
In his drink he's talking
Gets disconnected sleepwalking back home

Other people wouldn't like to hear you
If you said
That these are the best days
Of our lives
Other people turn around and laugh at you
If you said
That these are the best days

Other people turn around and laugh at you
If you said

Other people break into a cold sweat
If you said
That these are the best days
Of their lives
And other people turn around and laugh at you
If you said

Of our lives

It's my birthday
No one here day
Very strange day
I think of you day
Go outside day
Sit in park day
Watch the sky day
What a pathetic day
I don't like this day
It makes me feel too small
I don't like these days
They make me feel so small

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

Caravan

Caravan is lost
In the sun and the dust
No-one loves you
When you are lost
Yeah I've been a clown
Trying to pull my whole world down
I thought I was strong
But you are the one
And when it comes, you'll feel the weight of it
The weight of it
And the day and you'll get away from it,
Away from it

Sometimes everything is easy
Sometimes everything is easy
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la

I try to quit
But my heart won't buy it
I got family
The caravan comes back for me

And when it comes you'll feel the weight of it,
The weight of it
And the day, and you'll get away from it
Away from it

Charmless Man
I met him in a crowded room
Where people go to drink away their gloom
He sat me down and so began
The story of a charmless man
Educated the expensive way
He knows his claret from his beaujolais
I think he'd like to have been Ronnie Kray
But then nature didn't make him that way He went
He thinks his educated airs
Those family shares Will protect him
That we'll respect him
He moves in circles of friends
Who just pretend That they like him
He does the same to them
And when you put it all together
There's the model of a charmless man
He knows the swingers and their cavalry
Says he can get in anywhere for free
I began to go a little cross-eyed
And from this charmless man I just had to hide
He talks at speed He gets nose bleeds
He doesn't see His days are tumbling
Down upon him And yet he tries so hard to please
He's just so keen For you to listen
But no-one's listening
And when you put it all together
There's the model of a charmless man
He thinks his educated airs
Those family shares Will protect him
That you'll respect him

And when you put it all together
There's the model of a charmless man

Charmless Man
I met him in a crowded room
Where people go to drink away their gloom
He sat me down and so began
The story of a charmless man
Educated the expensive way
He knows his claret from his beaujolais
I think he'd like to have been Ronnie Kray
But then nature didn't make him that way He went
He thinks his educated airs
Those family shares Will protect him
That we'll respect him
He moves in circles of friends
Who just pretend That they like him
He does the same to them
And when you put it all together
There's the model of a charmless man
He knows the swingers and their cavalry
Says he can get in anywhere for free
I began to go a little cross-eyed
And from this charmless man I just had to hide
He talks at speed He gets nose bleeds
He doesn't see His days are tumbling
Down upon him And yet he tries so hard to please
He's just so keen For you to listen
But no-one's listening
And when you put it all together
There's the model of a charmless man
He thinks his educated airs
Those family shares Will protect him
That you'll respect him
And yet he tries so hard to please He's just so keen
For you to listen But no-one's listening
And when you put it all together
There's the model of a charmless man

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

He makes an inner arm block
Then kicks from behind
The lights, they go off
But he can fight blind
Cos he got the touch
And he won't live long
He comes from Hong Kong
Where justice is done

Chinese bombs, millions jump
Chairman's junk, USA
Won't somebody, won't somebody
Sink the place

Got a call to go to Soho
The dragon said go
Let everyone know
That you got the touch
You come from Hong Kong
Where justice is done
Where people are strong
But you won't live long

Chinese bombs, millions jump
Chairman's junk, USA
Bruce Lee come, save the day
Bruce Lee come the Chinese way

I'm on the white cliffs of dover
Thinking it over and over
But if I jump its all over
A cautionary tale for you

I'd like to roll in the clover
With you over and over
On the white cliffs of dover
And then i'd let you push me over

(chorus)
And if that is the fact then in actual fact
It's not where it's at and it's over
And if that is the fact then in actual fact
It's not where it's at and it's over
Yes it is

And now the bluebirds are over
Over the white cliffs of dover
So when you push me over
Don't bury me i'm not worth anything

(chorus)

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

싸구려 플로어가 깔린
체인점 같다고 느끼나요?
쓸모없는 사람중의 하나라고 느끼나요?
이리저리 부대끼고 너무 지루한 채 말이예요.
많은 말들을 듣지만 공허하지요.
당신은 당신의 진정한 마음을 보여주지만
아무도 당신이 어떤지
신경쓰지 않네요.

자 그러니 커피, TV를 즐기며
당신의 과거 얘기를 털어놓으세요.
많은 일들을 봐왔지요.
점점 제 정신을 잃어가고 있어요.
뇌사 상태처럼요.
사회에 적응한다는거
제겐 너무나 어려운 일이죠.
그러니 이 크고 힘겨운 세상에서 날 데려가
제발 결혼해주세요.
그렇게 우린 다시 시작할 수 있어요.

전원으로 가볼까요
그리 멀지 않지요.
그곳에는 당신 있는 그대로의 모습을
반겨줄 사람들이 많답니다.

수많은 말들
지혜가 있다고 당신은 확신하지만
그 말들이 비방을 시작하면
당신은 해결책을 찾을수 없답니다.

Colin Zeal knows the value of mass appeal
He's a pedestrian walker, he's a civil talker
He's an affable man with a plausible plan
Keeps his eye on the news, keeps his future in hand
(And then he..)
Looks at his watch, he's on time yet again
Looks at his watch, he's on time yet again
He's pleased with himself, he's pleased with himself
He's so pleased with himself, ah ha
While sitting in traffic, Colin thinks in automatic
He's an immaculate dresser, he's your common aggressor
He's a modern retard with a love of bombast
Keeps his eye on the news, doesn't dwells on the past
(And then he..)
Looks at his watch, he's on time yet again
He's pleased with himself, he's pleased with himself
He's so pleased with himself, ah ha
He's pleased with himself, he's pleased with himself
He's so pleased with himself, ah ha
(And then he..)
Looks at his watch, he's on time yet again
He's pleased with himself, he's pleased with himself
He's so pleased with himself, ah ha
He's pleased with himself, he's pleased with himself
He's so pleased with himself, ah ha
He's pleased with himself, he's pleased with himself
He's so pleased with himself, ah ha
He's pleased with himself, he's pleased with himself
He's so pleased with himself, ah ha
'Cos Colin Zeal knows

I don't understand
You're walking over me
All over me
To you
Well, you must be mad
And you know you are
You should have known
I'd do anything for you
So, why
Why
Can't we come together
Why
Inside my head
There's nothing left
It's all been taken out
By you
And do I care
Well, you know I do
You should have known
I'd do anything for you
So, why
Why
Can't we come together
Why
Now it's all been said
And you know it all
Then you should have known
I'd do anything for you
For you

Kazoo, kazoo you are mine, kazoo kazoo every time

Turn it up, turn it off, turn it in (x4)

Anyway you choose, anyway you choose at all
Sometimes you get too much, some days it all gets too much

Kazoo, kazoo you are mine, why do you turn your back on me?

Turn it up, turn it off, turn it in (x4)

Anyway you choose, anyway you choose at all
Some days you do too much, some days it all gets too much

Kazoo, kazoo you are mine, kazoo kazoo every time

Turn it up, turn it off, turn it in (x4)

City dweller
Successful fella
Thought to himself:
'Oops, I've got a lot of money
Caught in a rat race
Terminally
I'm a professional cynic
But my heart's not in it
I'm paying the price of living life at the limit
Caught up in the century's anxiety'
Yes, it preys on him
He's getting thin
(Try the simple life)

He lives in a house
A very big house
In the country
Watching afternoon repeats
And the food he eats
In the country
He takes all manner of pills
And piles up analyst bills
In the country
Oh, it's like an animal farm
That's the rural charm
In the country

He's got morning glory and life's a different story
Everything's going Jackanory
Touched with his own mortality
He's reading Balzac, knocking back Prozac
It's a helping hand that makes you feel wonderfully bland
Oh, it's a century's remedy
For the faint at heart
A new start
(Try the simple life)

He lives in a house
A very big house
In the country
He's got a fog in his chest
So he needs a lot of rest
In the country
He doesn't drink, smoke, laugh
Takes herbal baths
In the country
You should come to no harm
On the animal farm
In the country
(Blow, blow me out, I am so sad, I don't know why)

Comb my hair and again I stare
Go find a song before too long

I've got a head full of/healthy feeling
A simple feeling
A sleeping feeling

Today is gone

Go to a store till they comfler/buy a comfrey
A cowboy song, a cowboy song
You're the one, you're the one
In a cowboy song you're the one

I've got a head full of/healthy feeling
A simple feeling
