You got the world boy
This all you make it? You had the choice lad You wouldnt take it The oldest charm Only the best for you And the years of my life, Some they were so good, But now and again I feel I was a coward Are the holes in my soul In tatters for all these tears Well you dont see it that way Away, away We’lll have it today The dancing ones they really mean it But something boy, somethings gonna change A way, a way Youve got it they say How do they know When theyve never seen it? And what will you do When they forget your name? Well you’ll up and get another one Don’t give me that face I know when I should live in disgrace Not dig up the deadwood I knew this place was never the place for me And of the years that rolled by Yeah some were so good But now I know that You were the coward The holes in your soul In tatters for all these years But you cant see it that way A way, a way Well have it today The dancing ones they really mean it And mark my words Something’s gonna change A way, a way Youve got it they say But how do they know When theyve never seen it? And what will you do When they forget your name? Well you’ll up and get another one A way, a way We’ll have it today The dancing ones they really mean it But something boy somethings gonna change A way, a way Youve got it today But how do they know When theyve never seen it?

I knew all along
That I was right at the start About the seeds of the weeds That grew in your heart Self satisfaction for the factions Who formed to tear us apart Oh I gave you the Midas touch As you turned round to scratch out my heart Oh what did you expect? Oh tell me what did you expect? To lay it on my head? So is it all upon my head? Bang bang you're dead! Oh I'm so easily lead Bang, bang, you're de-e-ead! Put all those rumours to bed Bang, bang you're dead I knew all along But I was loathed to believe There was nothing but spite Fury and lies in the words that you weave Bring our illusion to a conclusion With all our unsold dreams Put it to bed, kick it in the head Oh won't they just let it be Bang bang you're dead! Oh I'm so easily lead Bang, bang, you're de-e-ead! Put all those rumours to bed Bang, bang you're dead Oh what did you expect? Oh tell me what did you expect? To lay it on my head?

Run they said to a promised land
Run and find us a helping hand Don’t come back till the sun is gone Don’t come back till the war is won We all set out with our hearts in hand A cold wind covered up a line in the sand All so young Nothing to lose Pieces of silver and a dead mans shoes And oh do you know what I’m saying Strike a light to guide us Somewhere Tempest swells our worlds collide Arrows from above and the salt in our eyes Then as the sky began to bruise We all sought shelter from the breaking news Oh did I ever show you All the great memorials, all the factory floors And oh though you know I don’t know you Now that were here Let’s make them proud On and on and on and on and on and on we go Traipsing over bridges Over corpses down below And all the while we could have smiled For one thing on our minds The very thing you strive for Is the thing that makes you blind Run they said to a promised land Run and find us a helping hand Don’t come back till the sun is gone Don’t come back till the war is won Tempest high, stories tall Thought that we learnt nothing at all Then at last the day was saved With flowers borrowed from a dead friends grave And oh even still I don’t know you Maybe I’ll show you If you’ve eyes to see And so farewell And so farewell And so farewell And so farewell to it |

She could never ever ever ever ever ever ever get it into her thick head
So when pretending ends shell have scattered her friends And she'll find she'll wake up dead There's no card above receivers Still its all so remote Behind the bench at the rec Where she lost fifty notes (she says) ??I used to have a future But now I don't know Just dependence and repentance and a ready-brek glow?? Just put your money in Bruised and battered shins You fucking love it You fucking love it Back on your feet again Out on the beat again, You fucking love it Yeah yeah yeah Drunk as a skunk Lean as a dean Always the same Since she was thirteen You want it You lame duck You want it Youre out of luck You've always been a seedy fuck So whats it gonna be? Just put your money in Bruised and battered shins You fucking love it You fucking love it Back on your feet again Out on the beat again, You fucking love it Yeah yeah yeah When you boil it down We descend from clowns to dogs Just put your money in Bruised and battered shins You fucking love it You fucking love it Back on your feet again Out on the beat again, You fucking love it Yeah yeah yeah When you boil it down We descend from clowns to dogs By Gumo //Montevideo-Uruguay |

We were so pretty now is this it
You and I are too young for this No blood no lust or spit But still there is something there to play upon A flash of instant thereabouts youll miss it and its gone But still its good to be in love with someone When you've always had to be with no one. She said everyones a story of their own But if we don't leave now well find ourselves with no way home And so we strolled on all bangered and confused At first it wasn't pretty but we soon undid that rouse so Now we got something in many other ways All the boys together and a knees up on the way Still its good to be in love with someone When you've always had to be with no one. She said everyone's a story of their own But if we dont leave now well find ourselves with no way home Find ourselves with no way home And it occurred to me, I think on Lambeth Road There's no more need to question life Or cry for what I'm owed And now its over so now its done The English sun is setting and the rude boys on the run oh Still its good to be in love with someone When you've always had to be with no one. Still I need you to remind me every day The lives and loves weve lost and broken on the way Heres to tomorrow and the lonely streets well roam But if we don't leave now well find ourselves with no way home Just to think were almost home |

We could throw ourselves in a road
But receive no comfort from street lights Why not come in for a jamens and escape life? We're idle in the mean time Aristocrats and architects with broken dreams Well, I say the dead sea is dying You say you're going underground for a while Well, we all need to be recognized for something Not sure if the devil's eyes are blue Work and days of underpaid still hold the key I see this place from my window It goes on the corner like the rest There are the buzzards and the crows Making eyes of a sea, self obsessed Now, if commandment 11 is, "Don't get caught" Then 12 must be, "Don't ever tell" Then ask yourself do you believe you'll go to hell? My mate went to the crossroads to see the devil He never showed and if he says that I believe I hear the place from my window Call me like a lighthouse to the sea There swarm the buzzards and the crows Swirling wide talking wise and there's me You and I hanging around Lads who've got childish names Scissors, we cut it out Shining before by the waves And I need to be recognized 'Cause we could be self-assured We could be happy indoors I know this place from my window I trip out and fall to the ground down below Hoods up for the buzzards and the crows Who believe in the void of themselves Still believe in the void of themselves And all the trees and animals of mountains green |

'Cause you're ambitious to a fault How did I let you in my brain? Just look in these western eyes I've been lost a time or two Not knowing what is evil Or where to go No prizes, no afterglow Nothing left for you But kicks or consumption Thought Japan was out of bounds But, oh, the boys just got to town Oh no, and it's happening again You and I have fallen out again We're empty skirts to number ones Why do I humor you in vain? Just look in these western eyes I've been lost a time or two Not knowing what is evil Or where to go No prizes, no afterglow Nothing left for you But kicks or consumption Clawing at the windows when the wheels came off European playground turned out far too much She tells me other people get the best of me So maybe she will never get the best of me There must be a devil at the BBC I've been lost a time or two Not knowing what is evil Or where to go No prizes, no afterglow Nothing left for you But kicks or consumption |

Where teardrops glance the sallow skin You lose your will And I can lend you mine The Westway wall's so tall and bleak Reflect the words we dare not speak By the bottle's end We may have done our time What you want is to stay away from people like me Who twist most everything they see And leave the gray old world behind you So sow it up, kid, have some clout We'll do some wine and fall about The sun will shine again tomorrow Oh, oh, oh, we'll look beyond the parapet We are just bums lest you forget We can beg, steal and borrow Well, you say the pills will sort me out Embolden me against The manifestations of fear and doubt I just forgot who I used to be So, now I'm strung Somewhere between a dream And the humdrum day to day routine A laurel wreath on the door to my heart What you want is to wash your face and try to breathe Forget your mind and shut your eyes so that you can see And leave the gray old world behind you So sow it up, kid, have no doubt We'll walk the line and have it out The sun will shine again tomorrow Oh, oh, oh, for all the friends you've ever met Some you'll love and some forget Just hold on for tomorrow So here's to now and all of us With our sweet hearts we tried to make a brand new start May the fabric never tear us apart And some day when we're in the cold Here's a semblance we can hope So pick a posy and put it on your heart for me So, now I move and if you're in It wouldn't hurt just to give it a try and win Don't forget who you're meant to be What you want is to get a bike and do wheelies But I bet you can't do 'em half as good as me Throw it out when it's over, it's over So sow it up, kid, have some clout We'll go to mine and sulk about How the sun will shine tomorrow For all the friends you've not yet met Some would die for you, I'll bet So hold on for tomorrow So sow it up, kid, have some clout We'll go to mine and fuck about The sun will shine again tomorrow For all friends you've not yet met Some would die for you, I bet So hold on for tomorrow This is where the truth begins For more than seven deadly sins And even though I may have hurt your mind |

Four more rotations and no one will hurt
These are the things I dream of I've been thinking through the drinking Though my confidence is shrinking That I might be fine The north would be so proud of you Ooh, what would you do? Ooh, when stars fall from the sky And you're only two seconds from crying? Paraffin, Anadin, sick as disguise So we take our snappy patterns And use them as knives Now, there's nothing left for me to try My own arrogance and humble pie But I'll be alright The north would be so proud of you So, I'll see you tomorrow, shall we call it one Trying to get the sparks to light Seeing as they've gone You don't know how to value that But I know how to value that I think we'll be fine The north would be so proud of you Ooh, what would you do Ooh, when stars fall from the sky And you're only two seconds from crying? |

You look smart but that's not enough
You need a course in attitude, nobody's fussed You can spend all your days planning what to buy And then the signs all spin around, you'll pay your debts in time You wanna shake, shake, shake to fit in all that much There seem to be holes in everything his cold hands touch And we'll take, take, take and swallow the whole way down We may fall forever but we won't fall down We'll, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, woah, oh Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, woah, oh and it's on There's blood on my shoes Nobody knows Because of you Where did you go? Where did you go? Nobody knows Where did you go? You're pretty, so pretty And if somebody loves you then leave us alone All the rich get richer but still they cry They sing the city is after us and we don't know why Profound is the debt, the debt you owe You owe it to sorrow and sorrow you owe For when we're down the ship is all you've ever known You go to glamor for the glamor but it's never your own, so alone There's blood on my shoes Nobody knows Because of you Where did you go? Where did you go? Nobody knows Where did you go? With our cock-eyed wistful vision we're oblivious To all the hell we've raised, baby, that's how it should stay When we don't feel change or pain or hate or love We're going to reach for the sedative but it's never enough For our fake, fake spirit and our masquerade We have so many colors but still we dwell in the shade I play the pugilist, the apathist in so many ways It's always tomorrow or never, forever and a day, so alone There's blood on my shoes Nobody knows Because of you Where did you go? Where did you go? Nobody knows Where did you go? |

I knew all along
That I was right at the start About the seeds of the weeds That grew in your heart Self satisfaction for the factions Who formed to tear us apart Oh I gave you the Midas touch As you turned round to scratch out my heart Oh what did you expect? Oh tell me what did you expect? To lay it on my head? So is it all upon my head? Bang bang you're dead! Oh I'm so easily lead Bang, bang, you're de-e-ead! Put all those rumours to bed Bang, bang you're dead I knew all along But I was loathed to believe There was nothing but spite Fury and lies in the words that you weave Bring our illusion to a conclusion With all our unsold dreams Put it to bed, kick it in the head Oh won't they just let it be Bang bang you're dead! Oh I'm so easily lead Bang, bang, you're de-e-ead! Put all those rumours to bed Bang, bang you're dead Oh what did you expect? Oh tell me what did you expect? To lay it on my head? So is it all upon my head? Bang bang you're dead! Oh I'm so easily lead Bang, bang, you're de-e-ead! Put all those rumours to bed Bang, bang you're dead |

There's a heart in a girl on a ship on a sea
And I know that girl is thinking of me There's a heart in a girl and I know that it beats like a drum But every time that I think of the girl my heart gets heavy and I'm stuck in a whirlwind I turn to my shadow and my heart starts to beat like a drum Said oh you might upon a steeple set Broken crumbling battlements Puffin on a coffin nail With a wry little smile that she keeps up her shell And she hides that forest from the house that hide from the sun Puffin on a coffin nail With a friend of a friend and an arse like a whale Well there's a girl with a friend who was stuck in a disco rut Slut Oh give me the strength just to give fate a try Though my hands get sweaty and my mouth goes dry Just to think every time that my plans go awry, you see Just give fate a passage but she was just a bore And the letters are crazy and a bit cocksure And you can't find your mind and my heart on a coffin and agree Come with outcry and panting breast And break upon the slippery wreck Puffin on a coffin nail With a friend of a friend with an arse like a whale But this girl is a friend of a friend you see Stuck in a disco rut Puffin on a coffin nail Yes she gives you a chance and you give me the mail And she works for the mail but she's out on bail Well you scream So I'm sad to say that my heart shattered this way I knew she'd be no better Yes I knew if I'd have met her That I'd soon enough forget her Now face your hero's just pretend And I've had a word with him (random talk) Puffin on a coffin nail Yes she's talking like Elvis cos she's just done a rail But her lover's on bail with a dealer like a snail on speed Puffin on a coffin nail Yes I gave her a something just to tell me a tale And she told me a tale but she told me a tale About you So this is the end of the road And this is the path that you chose Well it's no skin off my nose A lover with a brick has had the rose End of the road |

Did you ever have to do
The thing you swore you’d never do Something filthy and impatient, Something churlish bold and shrewd Well sit down my boy And i’ll tell you exactly how i crawled right Through Gather in your confidence And hear the story of a man Who came undone First you weigh up your commitments Where your loyalties really lie And if you bump into jesus You just look him in the eye Tell him that you’re fine Silently return to sharpening your knife Finally when the time comes think of who you really need And close your eyes so tightly you think they’ll bleed Don’t drop your guard don’t let Them know the thoughts inside your head Just do what you’ve always done Though they all wish you were dead They’ll crush your heart Your spirit and your soul but keep your eyes ahead And you know when the time comes there’ll be nowhere new to hide He’ll just be in your heart and you’ll lose pride Never break the line Never click your heels in time If your heart’s anything like mine that’s not the way Don’t get comfortable down there Don’t pretend that it’s always fair With your fingers crossed it’s not your loss If you really want to you can stay You can stay Never drop your guard and let them Know the thoughts inside your head Just do what you’ve always done They'll all wish you were dead They’ll crush your heart The spirit and your soul but keep your eyes ahead Then someday when your bones break And you dont know gifts from theft Drink yourself away one to my left Never break the line, never click your heels in time If your heart's anything like mine that's not the way Don’t get comfortable down there Don’t pretend that it's always fair And your fingers crossed And it’s not your loss So if you really want to you can stay You can stay |
