1.SUEDE
So Young.
Because we're young, because we're gone,
We'll take the tide's electric mind, oh yeah?, oh yeah,
We're so young and so gone, let's chase the dragon, oh,
Because we're young, because we're gone,
we'll scare the skies with tigers eyes, oh yeah? oh yeah,
We're so young and so gone, let's chase the dragon, oh
Let's chase the dragon...
...from our home high in the city where the skyline
stained the snow, I fell for a servant who kept me on the boil
We're so young and so gone, let's chase the dragon from our home!
Animal Nitrate.
Like his dad you know that he's had
Animal nitrate in mind,
Oh in your council home he jumped on your bones
Now you're taking it time after time
Oh it turns you on, on, now he has gone
Oh what turns you on now your animal's gone?
Well he said he'd show you his bed
And the delights of the chemical smile,
So in your broken home he broke all your bones
Now you're taking it time after time
Oh it turns you on, on, now he has gone
Oh what turns you on now your animal's gone?
What does it take to turn you on, on,
Now he has gone?
Now you're over 21?
Now your animal's gone?
...animal, he was animal, an animal.
She's Not Dead.
She'll come to her end locked in a car somewhere with exhaust in her hair,
What's she called? I dunno, she's fucking with a slip of a man while the engine ran
And he said "She's not dead, she's gone away, gone away" he said
He said "She's not dead, just go away go away" he said
In the car he couldn't afford they found his made up name on her ankle chain,
So don't call, don't call her at home, she's fucking with a slip of a man while the engine ran
And he said "She's not dead, she's gone away gone away" he said
He said "She's not dead, she's gone away gone away" he said "Just gone away gone away" he said
She's gone away to someone else's bed.
Moving.
Shame on me well I had the beast you see
And if he can take it I can take him home with me,
Shame on her, she's a lovely little number
And when we go lassooing you get lassood, all of you
If you can take it, I can take it
And we're moving, so moving, so we are a boy, we are a girl
So moving, so moving...
Shame on the girl, she's got a big black dog in her
And while tough kids sing about tough kids she just skins the world,
We'll never never play the harp, and we'll stick like sick on the stars
And if you can take it I can take these stones from my heart
If you can take it, I can take it
And we're moving, so moving, so we are a boy we are a girl
So moving, so moving...
If you can take it, I can take it, all of me
If you can take it, I can take it all
If you can take it, I can take it, all of me
If you can take it, I can take it all!
Pantomime Horse.
I was born as a pantomime horse
Ugly as the sun when he falls to the floor,
I was cut from the wreckage one day
This is what I get for being that way,
Well did you ever, did you ever go round with them?
Well did you ever, did you ever go round the bend?
I was conned by a circus hand
Tragic as the son of superman,
"I would die for the stars" she said
This is what I get for my beautiful head,
Well did you ever, did you ever go round with them?
Well did you ever, did you ever go round the bend?
...ever tried it that way, have you ever tried it that way?
The Drowners.
Won't someone give me a gun?
Oh, well it's for my brother,
Well he writes the line wrote down my spine
It says "Oh do you believe in love there?"
So slow down, slow down, you're taking me over
And so we drown, Sir we drown, stop taking me over
Won't someone give me some fun?
(and the skin flies all around us)
We kiss in his room to a popular tune
Oh, real drowners
Slow down, slow down, you're taking me over
And so we drown, Sir we drown,
stop taking me over!
Sleeping Pills.
Angel, don't take those sleeping pills, you don't need them
Though it's just time they kill,
Angel, give me your sleeping pills, you don't need them
Give me the time they kill,
You're a water sign, I'm an air sign
Gone gone to Valium, can you get me some?
You're a water sign, and I'm an air sign
Too Siamese to catch the leaves from those trees
Angel, don't take those sleeping pills, you don't need them
Though it's just time they kill,
You're a water sign, I'm an air sign
Pumped up with Valium, could you get me some?
You're a water sign, I'm an air sign
With sweet F.A. to do today, with sweet F.A. to do today...
...Angel, don't take those sleeping pills.
Breakdown.
Back where the dogs bark, where still life bleeds the concrete white,
try not to go too far inside your mind.
Back where the cars decide, where the lame star limps an endless mile,
have I gone too far inside my mind?
Oh, if you were the one, would I even notice now my mind has gone?
Oh, if you were the one, would I even notice?
Back where the car was parked, where the canine in the A-line stole your time,
you can only go so far for womankind,
Oh, if you were the one, would I even notice now that he has gone?
Oh, if you were the one, would I even notice?
Does your love only come, does your love only come, does he only come in a Volvo?
Metal Mickey.
Well she's show showing it off then
The glitter in her lovely eyes
Show show showing it off then
And all the people shake their money in time
She sells heart, she sells meat
Oh dad, she's driving me mad, come see
We shake shake shake to the trumpet
And through the slippery city we ride
Skyline swine on the circuit
Where all the people shake their money in time
She sells heart, she sells meat
Oh dad, she's driving me mad, come see
Animal Lover.
I see you're moving, see you're moving, moving in with her
You'll pierce your right ear, pierce your heart here, this skinny boy is one of the girls
'Cos around my neck and around her neck hangs everything you are
I know you've been inside but what were you in for?
Animal lover, animal lover, animal lover?
I see you're moving, see you're moving like wildlife from the waist
But when your name's scratched in on a shiny ring your waist is my resting place
And around my neck and around her neck hangs everything you are
I know you've been inside but what were you in for?
Animal lover, animal lover, animal lover?
The Next Life.
See you in your next life when we'll fly away for good,
Stars in our own car we can drive away from here
Far away, so far away, down to Worthing and work there
Far away, we'll go far away and flog ice creams 'til the company's on its knees...
...see you in your next life when we'll fly away for good.
DOG MAN STAR
Introducing the Band.
Dog man star took a suck on a pill
And stabbed a cerebellum with a curious quill
Europe, America, Winterland
Introducing the band
Chic thug stuttered through a stereo dream
A fifty knuckle shuffle heavy metal machine
The tears of suburbia drowned the land
Introducing the band
So steal me a savage, subservient son
Get him shacked-up, bloodied-up and sucking on a gun
I want the style of a woman, the kiss of a man
Introducing the band
And as the sci-fi lullaby starts to build
See them whipping all the women, cracked governments killed
Oh let the century die to violent hands
Introducing the band
We Are the Pigs.
Well the church bells are calling
Police cars on fire
And as they call you to the eye of the storm
All the people say "Stay at home tonight"
I say we are the pigs, we are the swine
We are the stars of the firing line
And as the smack cracks at your window
You wake up with a gun in your mouth
Oh let the nuclear wind blow away my sins
And I'll stay at home in my house
I say, we are the pigs
we are the swine
we are the stars of the firing line
But deceit can't save you so
We will watch them burn
Heroine.
She walks in beauty like the night
Discarding her clothes in the plastic flowers
Pornographic and tragic in black and white
My Marilyn come to my slum for an hour
I'm aching to see my heroine
I'm aching been dying for hours and hours
She walks in the beauty of a magazine
Complicating the boys in the office towers
Rafaella or Della the silent dream
My Marilyn come to my slum for an hour
I'm aching to see my heroine
I'm aching been dying for hours and hours,
been dying for hours and hours
She walks in beauty like the night
Hypnotising the silence with her powers
Armageddon is bedding this picture alright
My Marilyn come to slum for an hour
I'm aching to see my heroine
Aching, been dying for hours and hours
I'm 18, I need my heroines
Aching, been dying for hours
Oh and I'm never alone now
Now I'm with her
The Wild Ones.
There's a song playing on the radio
Sky high in the airwaves on the morning show
And there's a lifeline slipping as the record plays
And as I open the blinds in my mind I'm believing that you could stay
And oh if you stay I'll chase the rainblown fields away
We'll shine like the morning and sin in the sun
Oh if you stay
We'll be the wild ones, running with the dogs today
There's a song playing through another wall
All we see and believe is the D.J. and debts dissolve
And it's a shame the plane is leaving on this sunny day
Cos on you my tattoo will be bleeding and the name will stain
But oh if you stay we'll ride from disguised suburban graves
We'll go from the bungalows where the debts still grow every day
And oh if you stay I'll chase the rainblown fears away
We'll shine like the morning and sin in the sun oh if you stay
We'll be the wild ones running with the dogs today
We'll be the wild ones running with the dogs today
Daddy's Speeding.
Whiplash caught the silver son
Took the film to No. I
Crashed the car and left us here
Broken glass for teenage boys trapped in steel and celluloid
Crashed the car and left us here.
And daddy burned a million eyes
Dared the dogs to criticise
He crashed the car and I was born
And daddy turned a million heads
Took the teenage dream to bed
He crashed the car and left us here
With dreams of gasoline drying our eyes
Green fields of destiny high in the sky
But oh can you see him?
Oh Daddy's speeding
Whiplash caught the silver son
Killed the sad American
Crashed the car and left us here
And sorrow turns his eyes to mine
Come with me now it's your time
Let's crash the car and I'll be born
And sorrow breaks the silent day
Takes the teenage boys away
They crash the cars and leave us here
With dreams of gasoline drying our eyes
Green fields and death machines high in the sky
But oh can you see him?
Oh, when Daddy's speeding
The Power.
Through endless Asia, through the fields of Cathay
or enslaved in pebble-dash grave with a kid on the way
If you're far over Africa on the wings of youth
or if you're down in some satellite town and there's nothing you can do
Just give me, give me, give me the power
And I'll make them bleed
Give me, give me the power
(Although I'm just the common breed)
You might live in a screen kiss, it's a glamorous dream
Or belong to a world that's gone, it's the English disease
But give me, give me the power
And I'll make them bleed
Give, give me, give me the power
(Although I'm just the common breed)
New Generation.
I wake up every day to see her back again
Screaming my name through the astral plane
And in this catalogue town she takes me down
Down through the platinum spires
Down through the telephone wires
And we shake it around in the underground
And like a new generation rise
And like all the boys in all the cities
I take the poison, take the pity
But she and I, we soon discovered
we'd take the pills to find each other
Oh but when she is calling here in my head
Can you hear her calling
And what she has said?
Oh but when she is calling here in my head
It's like a new generation calling
Can you hear it call?
And I'm losing myself, losing myself to you
I wake up every day, to find her back again
Breeding disease on her hands and knees
While the styles turn and the books still burn
Yes it's there in the platinum spires
It's there in the telephone wires
And we spread it around to a techno sound
But like a new generation rise
Cos like all the boys in all the cities
I take the poison, take the pity
But she and I we soon discover
We take the pills to find each other
Oh but when she is calling here in my head
Can you hear her calling?
And what she has said?
Oh but when she is calling here in my head
It's like a new generation calling
Can you hear her call?
And I'm losing myself, losing myself to you
This Hollywood Life.
"She-rocker you're wasting your time,
Cos you're only a girl"
She'rocker sacked the factory line for a chance of a dance in a surreal world
She said, "come rescue, rescue me from this Hollywood life
Come rescue, rescue me from this Hollywood life"
She'rocker hear the audience scream for the death of the king
But a hand-job is all the butchery brings
Cos fame ain't as easy as him (how sad)
Oh, come rescue, rescue me from this Hollywood life
come rescue, rescue me from this Hollywood life
Come take this Hollywood life
2 of Us.
Lying in my bed, I think of you
That song goes through my head, the one we both knew
In each line lies another line full of sacred sound
But you're outside where the companies dream and the money goes round
Lying in my bed.
Watching my mistakes,
I listen to the band they said that it could be the 2 of us
The snow might fall and write the lines on the silent page
But you're outside making permanent love to the nuclear age
Two silhouettes by the cash machine make a lovers dance
It's a tango for the lonely wives of the business class
Lying in my bed
Watching my mistakes
I listen to the band
Lying in my bed
With nothing much to say so I listen to the man
He said that it could be the 2 of us
I heard you call from across the city through the stereo sound
And so I crawled there sickeningly pretty as the money went round
Lying in my head watching my mistakes
I listen to the band
And the drums beat in my head
Pianos chime the sound in this prison of the house
And as the illness comes again can you hear me through the rain
As I listen to the band?
As I sing the silent song
Mime each lonely word
Please listen to the man he said that it could be the 2 of us
Alone but not lonely, you and me
Alone but loaded.........
Black or Blue.
There was a girl who flew the world from a lonely shore
Through southern snow to Heathrow to understand the law
There was a boy who loved the noise of the underground
He left the coast and overdosed on that London sound
He said,
"I don't care if you're black or blue,
me and the stars stay up for you
I don't care who's wrong or right
and I don't care for the U.K. tonight so stay, stay"
And then one day she moved away from those garden walls
She left some flowers, he smoked for hours
She understood the law
I don't care if you're black or blue
Me and the stars stay up for you
I don't care who's wrong or right
And I don't care for the U.K. tonight
So stay, stay, stay, stay.........
........there was a girl who flew the world
The Asphalt World.
I know a girl she walks the asphalt world
She comes to me and I supply her with Ecstasy
Sometimes we ride in a taxi to the ends of the city
Like big stars in the back seat like skeletons ever so pretty
I know a girl she walks the asphalt world
But where does she go?
And what does she do?
And how does she feel when she's next to you?
And who does she love in time-honoured fur?
Is it me or her?
I know a girl she walks the asphalt world
She's got a friend, they share mascara I pretend
Sometimes they fly from the covers to the winter of the river
For these silent stars of the cinema
It's in the blood stream, it's in the liver
I know a girl, she walks the arse felt world
But where does she go?
And what does she do?
And how does she feel when she's next to you?
And who does she love in time-honoured fur?
Is it me or is it her?
With ice in her blood
And a Dove in her head
Well how does she feel when she's in your bed?
When you're there in her arms
And there in her legs
Well I'll be in her head
Cos that's where I go
And that's what I do
And that's how it feels when the sex turns cruel
Yes both of us need her, this is the asphalt world
Still Life.
This still life is all I ever do
There by the window quietly killed for you
In the glass house my insect life
Crawling the walls under electric lights
I'll go into the night, into the night
She and I into the night
Is this still life all I'm good for too?
There by the window quietly killed for you
And they drive by like insects do
They think they don't know me
They hired a car for you
To go into the night, into the night
She and I into the night
And this still life is all I ever do
There by the window quietly killed for you
And this still life is all I ever do
But it's still, still life
But it's still, still life
But it's still, still life

Bentswood Boys.
When you're high on diesel nightly
And the traffic starts to roll
You smoke a cigarette and watch the black girls
in a white boys world
Anything is possible for the Bentswood boys
Where the karma comes with the kids and the cat food
You see time push the pram
'cos she was on her back in his estate car
And in the back of his van
Anything is possible for the Bentswood boys
For the Bentswood boys (things are happening)
For the Bentswood boys (mmm... tell it like it is!)
Don't take me down
Don't take me down
Don't take me down south...

And when he comes alone,

We'll be there in the headlines,

Dressed in thought we are set in jet, the jet set messing us around
I'm so so down, are you never coming round
So so down, are you never coming round
See my dolly on 3 wheels yeah, see her grooving on down
Dressed in thought she is real yeah, her real hair is what counts

Oh what you do in your head,
You do in your head
Oh if he is dead
He said he had a horrible house
I looked in it and learnt to shut my mouth
He said I had the luck of a son
With all the love and poison of London
Oh what you do in your head

High Rising.
You'll hide among the lovers
And wave as the aeroplanes go by,
There's nothing to say,
When you sleep all day, but "bye-bye".
Your mind will find another
And that's where the days have gone,
And all you can hear is a stereo somewhere,
Playing a pig-of-a-song
And you'll know her, know her, when she comes.
When you turn the light out, light out, she'll come.
She called you from across the city,
You hired a car to crawl,
But with the high rise still in your eyes,
You wonder who's out there at all.
And you'll know her, know her, when she comes.
When you turn the light out, light out, she'll come.
When you turn the light out, light out, she'll come.
Stop making me older, start making me new.
Stop making me older, start making me new...

Killing of a Flashboy.
All the white kids shuffle to the heavy metal stutter
And go shaking on the scene like killing machines
And they know that when she's stacked up top
She'll be a sucker for the shotgun show
Shaking obscene like the killing machines here we go
It's the same old show, He's a killer of a flash boy oh
He's a killer he's a killer he's a flashboy oh
Oh if you shake your fake tan thru aerosol land you'll know
That you'll suffer for your sex by the caravanettes oh no
And that sh*tter with the pout won't be putting it about no more
oh shaking obscene like a killing machine he we go
It's the same old show, he's a killer he's a flash boy oh
He's a killer he's a flash boy oh

So think of the sea my darling
Think of the sea as you murder me
It's the same old show, he's a killer, he's a flash boy oh
This is the killing of a flash boy oh...

The Living Dead.
Where's all the money gone? - I'm talking to you,
All up the whole in your arm,
is the needle a much better screw?
But oh, what will you do alone? Cos I have to go.
Where is this life of fun that you promised me?
Nothing here works but your works and I mean it
I have to leave
But oh, what will you do alone? Cos I have to go.
If I was the wife of an acrobat would I
look like the living dead, boy?
You're on the wire and can't get back,
Let's talk about the living dead
Could have had a car, could have had it all,
Could have walked in the sky but we stare at the wall.
I know where the money's gone - I know what you do
Cos I've seen the hole in your arm
and the needle's a much better screw
but oh, what will you do alone? Cos I have to go.

Modern Boys.
Come on to me
My winter son
we can lie on the rails
And when the morning comes...
We'll be miles away, miles away
Slipping away while the city sleeps,
Running away from this cruel disease
miles away, miles away
Modern boys, modern boys
Hand in hand, sick of the fear
Chasing away all the hungry years
with the modern boys
Come on to me my sickly thing,
We can lie on the rails
But to really bring
we'll just drive away, drive away
Yes, the world, it calls
My International
Let's decades die, let the parties fall
and we'll be miles away, miles away
Cos we'll be living like
Modern boys, modern Boys
hand in hand, sick of the fear
chasing away all the hungry years
with the modern boys
Into the night, under the stars
jumping the lights in the silent cars
He's on your left, I'm on your right
It's so easy in the concrete night
My Dark Star.
In a hired car she will come to England from the sea,
And as the tide flows the London snows will come.
And from the skyline shines the lies of the
government's singular history
So in a hired world she will buy a gun
And she will come from India with a love in her eyes
That say, oh how my dark star will rise
In a rented gear 2000 years we waited for a man
But with a tattooed tear she'd die for us all tonight
And she will come from India with a gun at her side,
Or she will come from Argentina
with her cemetary eyes that say
Oh, how my dark star will rise,
...and she will rise

My Insatiable One.
In the high life, i've got this feeling
I've got this horrible feeling
on the escalator they took it out of him
as the ridiculous world went...oh

oh he is gone
he's my insatiable one...oh
On the high wire, dressed in a leotard

Painted People.
Painted people get you going and I'll smother that pig in a holy scene.
It ain't too hard to see,
The paint, my love, gets you going like you wanna be got for the next

The pill's taken everything, it's in your skin, it's in my skin.
Painted people get me going like a smothering pig in a holy scene.
It ain't to hard to see.

Stay Together.
Come to my house tonight
We can be together in the nuclear sky
And we will dance in the poison rain
And we can stay a while in Heaven today
Let's stay together
Let's stay, these days are ours
Let's die together?
Two hearts under the skyscrapers
There's a time bomb in the high rise
There's a blue suburban dream
Will I see you up in paradise
Or have you come to catch me?
Come to my arms tonight
Just you and me together under electric light
And she will dance in the poison air
And we can stay together
Two hearts under the skyscrapers
There's a time bomb in the high rise
There's a blue suburban dream
Will I see you up in Paradise
Or have you come to catch me?
Come to my arms I'm lost
Just you and me together in the year of the horse
Single file in the nuclear night
And we could feel a little closer
As we tumble through the sky
Let's stay together, let's stay these days are ours
Let's stay together
Two hearts under a skyscraper
Let's stay together, let's stay in this broken down love
Let's stay together, two hearts under the skyscrapers
This World Needs a Father.
Hold on, he's coming
Through the wheels of the star machine
Hold on, he's coming
Through the tears of your sh*t-stained dream
In an anthem for the world
Let him waltz you down the river
Let him feel like boy or girl
With his sci-fi lullaby
Let the light of the bomb shine from him tomorrow
Yes this world needs a father for the sorrow
So let's have one for the lovers
And one more for the friends
'cos drink to you is all I can do
As life slips down, down the drain
Hold on, he's coming
With the screen kissed spine of the past
Hold on, he coming
With the style of the wormwood star
Sing an anthem for the world
Sing a farewell for the river
If you feel like boy or girl
Sing a sci-fi lullaby
Let the light of the bomb
Shine from him tomorrow
Yes this world needs a father for the sorrow
Yes this world needs a father for the sorrow
So let's have one more for the sorrow
And one more for the friends
Yes drink to you is all I can do
As life slips down, down the drain...

To The Birds.
Don't take your life cos your bicycle won't fly
You may be going to heaven tonight
Don't spoil the show for the love of some albino
You won't be going to heaven alone
I see her by the window waiting every night
So I wouldn't give a sh*t if your bicycle's in bits
I think I'm going to heaven on it
I see her by the window pour the poison from you
I'll go there through the window in my sixteen hole boots
And I'll sing to the birds here at my side
And I'll sing to the birds that will save my life...
Don't take your life cos your bicycle won't fly
You may be going to heaven tonight
I wouldn't give a sh*t if your bicycle's in bits
I think I'm going to heaven on it
I see her by the window and I see there's a day
We'll walk out through the traiffic and pour the poison away
So I'll sing to the birds there at my side
And I'll sing to the birds who will save my life
...I will lie down for her
("The Drowners" b-side)
Together.
She was standing smoking counting stolen change,
Don't someone have the guts to complain?
Said "Superman, I'm a big fan, let's get something straight,
Well you don't have the guts to complain"
Now you're son's coming out to play
Your son's coming out to play
When you're on your own
Standing by the phone
We should get together
Got a supermarket stance
Just taking it hand-in-hand
We should get together
Just think of the life you'll save
Not stuck in your early grave
We should get together
I saw you standing smoking counting stolen change
But I don't have the guts to complain
Well I picked you up, got mixed up with you, that's OK
'cos now I've got the guts to complain
And now you're sons coming out to play
Your son's coming out to play
When you're on your own
Standing by the phone
We should get together
Got a supermarket stance
Just taking it hand-in-hand
We should get together
Just think of the life you'll save
Not stuck in your early grave
We should get together...

Where the Pigs Don't Fly.
Out in the sticks, out in the stickiness
They're chasing round in stolen ice cream vans
They're sparking up with someone, oh
Where pigs don't fly, oh
Out over there, out in the sticky wire fire,
Your royal stickiness your highness
I've heard there's someone saying "I do"
And banging at the old piano tune
Where the pigs don't fly, I do
Where the pigs don't fly, I do
I do...

Whipsnade.
We are only young
but we style our future with a cattle gun
We are idle rich
so we smile for tomorrow with a bitch of an itch
Cause when the firelight shocks like a cop shop pyre
we'll jack the politics for premonition and fire
and we'll move like Nuryev at night
Coast to coast
Side to side
Shines the light of fine enlightened minds
Coast to coast
We are only young
but we style out future in the shadow of guns
We are not idle rich
so we smile for tomorrow with a bitch of an itch
cause when the stylized kick of the filmstar whip,
cracks down on the millions, cracks the kids on the hips
we'll be moving like Nuryev at night
Coast to coast
Side to side
shines the light of fine enlightened minds
Coast to coast
Side to side
feel the steel that shines outside the blinds
Coast to coast
Side to side
blades engraved with babies' names
while pylons hide the suicide
Coast to coast
Side to side
shines the light of fine enlightened minds
Coast to coast
Side to side
feel the steel that shines outside the blinds
Coast to coast
Side to side
blades engraved with babies' names...

trash
Maybe, maybe it¹s the clothes we wear,
The tasteless bracelets and the dye in our hair,
Maybe it¹s our kookiness,
Or maybe, maybe it¹s our nowhere towns,
Our nothing places and our cellophane sounds,
Maybe it¹s our looseness,
But we¹re trash, you and me,
We¹re the litter on the breeze,
We¹re the lovers on the streets,
Just trash, me and you,
It¹s in everything we do,
It¹s in everything we do...
Maybe, maybe it¹s the things we say,
The words we¹ve heard and the music we play,
Maybe it¹s our cheapness,
Or maybe, maybe it¹s the times we¹ve had,
The lazy days and the crazes and the fads,
Maybe it¹s our sweetness,
But we¹re trash, you and me,
We¹re the litter on the breeze,
We¹re the lovers on the street,
Just trash, me and you,
It¹s in everything we do,
It¹s in everything we do...
filmstar
Filmstar, propping up the bar, driving in a car, it looks so easy,
Filmstar, propping up the bar, driving in a car tonight,
Filmstar, giving it class, living it fast, it looks so easy,
Filmstar, giving it class, living it fast tonight.
What to believe in, it¹s impossible to say?
What to believe in when they change your name,
wash your brain, play the game again, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Filmstar, elegance, a terylene shirt, it looks so easy,
Filmstar, an elegant sir in a terylene shirt tonight,
Filmstar, propping up the bar, driving in a car, it looks so easy,
Filmstar, propping up the bar, driving in a car tonight.
What to believe in, it¹s impossible to say?
What to believe in when they change your name,
wash your brain, play the game again,
Yeah, yeah, yeah...
lazy
Here they come with their make-up on
as lovely as the clouds, come and see them,
Boys and girls and their mums and their words
and their romances and jobs and their sons,
Barking mad kids, lonely dads
who drug it up to give it some meaning,
From the raves to the council estates
they¹re reminding us there¹s things to be done.
But you and me, all we want to be is lazy,
you and me, so lazy...
Here they come gone 7am
getting satellite and Sky getting cable,
Bills and Bens and their mums and their friends
who just really, really want to be loved,
Uncle Teds and their legendary vests
helping out around the disabled,
>From the flats and the maisonettes
they¹re reminding us there¹s things to be done.
But you and me, all we want to be is lazy,
you and me, so lazy...
It¹s you and me, it¹s you and me, you and me...
by the sea
She can walk out anytime, anytime she wants to walk out, that¹s fine,
She can walk out anytime, anytime she feels that life has passed her
by,
And when I start my new life I won¹t touch the ground,
I¹m gonna try hard this time not to touch the ground.
He can walk out anytime, anytime he wants to walk out, that¹s fine,
He can walk out anytime, across the sand, into the sea, into the
brine,
And when I start my new life I won¹t touch the ground,
I¹m gonna try hard this time not to touch the ground.
So we sold the car and quit the job
and shook some hands and wiped the make-up right off,
And we said our good-byes to the bank
left Seven Sisters for a room in a seaside shack,
And when I start my new life I won¹t touch the ground,
I¹m gonna try hard this time not to touch the ground
...it¹s by the sea we¹ll breed
...into the sea we¹ll bleed...
she
She, walking like a killer,
She, another night another pillow.
Nowhere places, nowhere faces, no one wants to see,
No education, it¹s the arse of the nation,
She is bad, she is bored, she is bony, she is...
She, sh-shaking up the karma,
She, ³injecting marijuana²,
Nowhere places, nowhere faces, no one wants to see,
No education it¹s the arse of the nation,
She is bad, she is bored, she is bony, she is...
she...
Nowhere faces, nowhere places, no one wants to be,
No stimulation in this privatisation,
She is bad, she is bored, she is bony, she is she.
beautiful ones
High on diesel and gasoline, psycho for drum machine
shaking their bits to the hits,
Drag acts, drug acts, suicides, in your dad¹s suits you hide
staining his name again,
Cracked up, stacked up, 22, psycho for sex and glue
lost it to Bostik, yeah,
Shaved heads, rave heads, on the pill, got too much time to kill
get into bands and gangs,
Oh, here they come, the beautiful ones, the beautiful ones
loved up, Doved up, hung around, stoned in a lonely town
shaking their meat to the beat,
High on diesel and gasoline, psycho for drum machine
shaking their bits to the hits,
Oh, here they come, the beautiful ones, the beautiful ones.
You don¹t think about it,
You don¹t do without it,
because you¹re beautiful,
And if your baby¹s going crazy
that¹s how you made me,
la, la, la, la...
starcrazy
She¹s star, starcrazy, electric-shock-bog-brush-hair,
Flat on her back in the 80¹s, in the 90¹s going nowhere,
Star, starcrazy, got a kicking transistor inside,
A heavy metal stutter that brains me,
and an electric love in her eyes,
Oh, she don¹t want education,
She got nothing to say,
She got no imagination (so they say)
Why does she feel this way?
Cos she¹s star, starcrazy, getting stupid on the streets tonight,
and shaking like a mechanical thing
with an electric love in her eyes,
Oh, she don¹t want education,
She got nothing to say,
She got no imagination (so they say)
So why does she feel this way?
picnic by the motorway
I¹m so sorry to hear about the news,
Don¹t you worry,
I¹ll buy us a bottle and we¹ll drink in the petrol fumes,
I¹m so sorry to hear about your world,
Don¹t you worry,
There¹s a gap in the fence down by the nature reserve,
Hey, such a lovely day, such a lovely day,
Such fun, looking at the lovers in a lay-by with my little one.
I¹m so sorry to hear the news today,
Don¹t you worry,

I¹m so sorry to hear about the scene,
Don¹t you worry,
Just put on your trainers and get out of it with me,
Hey, such a lovely day, such a lovely day,
Such fun, looking at the lovers in a lay-by with my little one.
Hey, such a lovely day, such a lovely day,
Such fun, looking at the lorries in the litter with my lovely one,
We could go dancing, we could go walking,
we could go shopping, we could keep talking,
we could go drinking, we could sit thinking,
we could go speeding, or we could go dreaming, see? oh hey...
the chemistry between us
And maybe we¹re just kids who¹ve grown, and maybe not,
And maybe when we¹re on our own, we don¹t have much,
But oh, we are young and not tired of it,
Oh, we are young and easily lead,
Oh, with all the kids getting out of their heads.
Oh, Class A, Class B, is that the only chemistry?
Oh, Class A, Class B, is that the only chemistry between us?
And maybe we¹re just Streatham trash, and maybe not,
And maybe we¹re just capital flash in a stupid love,
But oh, we are young and not tired of it,
Oh we are young and easily lead,
Oh, by all the kids getting out of our heads.
Oh, Class A, Class B, is that the only chemistry?
Oh, Class A, Class B, is that the only chemistry between us?
