YOU'VE HAD HER
And the one thing on your mind
Is : where is the next in line ?
As the words to all the love songs
Start making sense
To the girl
So
Far
Away
OH PHONY
Who can make Hitler
seem like a bus conductor?
PLEASE HELP THE CAUSE AGAINST LONELINESS
Oh, I don't mind what time you come round
If it's the daytime then I might be in bed - oh
I'm so very young
I am so really, really young ... oh, oh
FATHER WHO MUST BE KILLED
But still the step-child press the knife to her throat
Half pointing to the sky
"Just as mother-less birds fly high
Then so shall I
WHATEVER HAPPENS I LOVE YOU
Names, secret names
But never in my favour
But when all is said and done
It's you I love
Cold loving prose
We stole each other's clothes
But when all is said and done
It's you I love
ALL THE LAZY DYKES
And I've, Never felt so alive, In the whole of my life, In the whole of my life
Free yourself, Be yourself, Come to the Palms and see yourself
And at last your life begins
LUCKY LISP
When your gift unfurls
When your Talent becomes apparent
I will roar from the stalls
I will gurgle from the circle
The Saints smile shyly
Down on you
Oh, they couldn't get over
Your nine-leaf clover
Oh, lucky lisp was not wasted on you
Lucky lisp wasn't wasted on you
I KNOW VERY WELL HOW I GOT MY NAME
When Thirteen years old
Who dyed his hair gold --
Oh, I know very well, I don't need to be told
You think you were my first love
You think you were my first love, but you're wrong
You were the only one
Who's come and gone
LIFEGUARD SLEEPING, GIRL DROWNING
It was only a test
But she swam too far
Against the tide
She deserves all she gets
The sky became marked with stars
As an out-stretched arm slowly
Disappears
TONY THE PONY
And what do they call you now ?
When you're free outside
So cold and hard and in control
And, oh ... been a lark
There's a free ride on
Fucked-up Tony
I will never say I told you so
Or how I knew that something bad
Would happen to you
I don't wanna say I told you so
Oh, but Tony, I told you so !!!
I told you so
WE'LL LET YOU KNOW
We may seem cold, or
We may even be
The most depressing people you've ever known
At heart, what's left, we sadly know
That we are the last truly British people you'll ever know
We are the last truly British people you will ever know
You'll never never want to know
BILLY BUDD
I took my job application
Into town
Did you hear ? They turned me down
Yes, and it's all because of us
Oh, and what was in our eyes
Oh, what was in our eyes, yeah
I said, Billy Budd
I would happily lose
Both of my legs
I would lose both of my legs
Oh, if it meant you could be free
Oh, if it meant you could be free
(Don't leave us in the dark!)
I KNOW IT'S GONNA HAPPEN SOMEDAY
My love, wherever you are
Whatever you are
Don't lose faith
I know it's gonna happen someday
To you
GLAMOROUS GLUE
I used to dream, and I used to vow
I wouldn't dream of it now
We look to Los Angeles
For the language we use
London is dead, London is dead
London is dead, London is dead
London is dead, London is dead
Now I'm too much in love
I'm too much in love
WHY DON'T YOU FIND OUT FOR YOURSELF
The sanest days are mad
Why don't you find out for yourself ?
Then you'll see the price
Very closely
Some men here
They have a special interest
In your career
They wanna help you to grow
And then syphon all your dough
Why don't you find out for yourself ?
Then you'll see the glass
Hidden in the grass
LATE NIGHT, MAUDLIN STREET
Love at first sight
It may sound trite
But it's true, you know
I could list the detail
Of everything you ever wore or said
Or how you stood the day
As we spent the last night
On Maudlin Street
"Goodbye house, forever!"
I never stole a happy hour
Around here
And I know
I took strange pills
But I never meant to hurt you
Oh, truly I love you
Came home late one night
Everyone had gone to bed
But, you know
No-one stays up for you
I had sixteen stitches
All around my head
SUNNY
So, Sunny, send at least one thoughtful letter
My heart goes out to you
Tell us all how things are so much better
My heart, it left with you
What else can I do ?
Oh, they're not forgiving you
And you're not even wrong
Oh, with your jean belt wrapped around your arm
Oh, Sunny, my heart goes out to you
And with a needle pressed onto tight skin
Sunny, I cry when I see where it's taken you
IN THE FUTURE WHEN ALL'S WELL
Hold me closely if your will allows it
In the future when all’s well
Paired-off, pawed, till I can barely stand it
The future is ended by a long, long sleep
The future is ended by a long, long sleep
The future is ended by a long sleep
INTERESTING DRUG
Interesting drug
The one that you took
TELL THE TRUTH - IT REALLY HELPED YOU
An interesting drug
The one that you took
God, it really really helped you
You wonder why we're only half-ashamed ?
PICADILLY PALARE
The Piccadilly palare
Was just silly slang
Between me and the boys in my gang
Exchanging palare
You wouldn't understand
Good sons like you
NEVER DO.
So why do you smile
When you think about Earl's Court ?
But you cry when you think of all
The battles you've fought (and lost) ?
It may all end tomorrow
Or it could go on forever
In which case I'm doomed
It could go on forever
In which case I'm doomed
