It really doesn't matter anymore 'Long as I keep slipping down my medicine Gonna be a superstar for sure You are superstar You are star You are superstar The world's alright with me Just for today The people down on Picton Street already are superstar You can see it subtle in their eyes The music of the traffic is a gentle symphony 'Long as you are by my side You are superstar You are star You are superstar You know you are You are, you are, you are Star Star Star And the world's alright with me Just for today Oh Thankyou for the coming up each morning Thankyou for the taking down each night Thankyou for the inside and the outside I thank you from the bottom of my heart From like the bottom of my heart You are superstar You are star You are superstar You know you are You are, you are, you are Star Star Star Star You are superstar |

I live a life alone
Inside a plastic hole Inside a cage of stones I dug myself this hole I'm a freak I'm a freak Oh ho I'm a freak Good Lord I'm a freak Stacked-up on platfrom shoes I tried so hard to be so cool I dyed my hair in Spain I look a mess and I feel the shame Of the freak I'm a freak Oh ho I'm a freak Good Lord I'm a freak * I walk the plastic streets Just like a monkey Just like a geek My scraping knuckles bleed I hear my Mummy crying out He's a freak I live a life alone And all my friends are gone It kind of turns me on I hate them one by one by one I'm a freak I'm a freak Oh ho I'm a freak Oh Lord I'm a freak * Repeat He's a freak |

Shut up
You're way down boring All you got are modern stories All about the money rolling And your crank possession holdings Back off You don't know me I don't care for modern talking You just don't wanna buy me baby And I think you're a cockroach for trying * Someday Someday soon Life's gonna catch up On you Someday soon ** Someday Someday soon It's all gonna crash down On you Someday soon But your money won't see you through *** Gonna lose it all Gonna lose it all It's coming soon Someday soon Hands off You don't impress me Neither do your jewels undress me Or your car to drive me home As your diamond studded clown Back off You don't get me Neither does your gold possess me You just don't wanna buy me baby Take me around on a lead * Repeat ** Repeat *** Repeat You're gonna lose it all Gonna lose it all It's coming soon Someday soon |

* God is looking down upon the shivering ones
Shooting up down on the Wellington Road And reaching out for their arms But we don't wanna know Down on the Wellington Road Where all tomorrow's peace of mind Is bought and sold ** Oh but he never gives up on you Oh no he never gives up on you No no he never gives up on you No no he never gives up on you Up on you Up on you Up on you Life's a little longer on the Wellington Road Grinding teeth down 'til the money goes cold We shake our fists at the sky 'Cos we already know Down on the Wellington road The only saviours left behind Are bought and sold ** Repeat Up on you Up on you Up on you Up on you * Repeat * Repeat Up on you Up on you Up on you Up on you La la la etc. He don't give up on you He don't give up on you He don't give up on you |

I didn't want to write this song
Because I love you and you've been my friend so long We were the same when we were young Living it two as one All through the scrapes and all the narrow escapes You pulled me through you made me feel like I was not insane We promised that we'd never change Holding out on the edge * Today - life's a different story today Sad and yet not sad in a way People never do stay the same And the runaway brothers have had their day Remember on your wedding day I must admit I had the strangest feeling then Outside the Church - we took some flak Both throwing up round the back But now when we meet up today It don't seem right that we just don't know what to say Not knowing what to do * Repeat You've got a job, I understand You've got a wife, I got the band I never thought I'd write this song I never thought that we could change so much - so long I won't forget you - oh my friend Here's holding out 'til the end * Repeat Whatever happened to the runaway brothers? Whatever happened to the runaway brothers? La la la etc. |

Rats are in the kitchen scratching
Whispering my name and laughing Edging up the hall into my bed Faces on the walls are screaming Drifting out across the ceiling Dropping off and falling in my head All alone They cut the phones But then again There's no-one left to ring There's gonna be no peace 'til the bones break through my skin Another night in Another night in I shiver within A slow hand-clap begins Another night in Another night in My skeleton is waiting in the wings Of a Skeleton grin Oh no ' Cos I don't know where he stops and I begin A hundred million bugs are crawling In and out of every opening Up and down and over me all night Looking through my old scrapbook I search in vain for a pleasant memory Tearing out my hair 'til it gets light All alone I'm heard to groan My epitaph "I regret everything" There's gonna be no sleep 'til the bones break through my skin Another night in Another night in I shiver within A slow hand-clap begins Another night in Another night in My skeleton is eager in the wings Of a Skeleton grin Oh no ' And I don't know where he stops and I begin It's just another night in Another night in I shiver within A slow hand-clap begins Another night in Another night in Woah my skeleton is waiting in the wing Of another night in Just another night in Woah another night in Watching the wildlife drift by on the outside Watching the movement on my bit of sky Watching my face disappear in the mirror All in the name of another night in Woah another night in Woah another night in Oh no no this skeleton thing Feeling the pain of another night in |

Mary Poppins killed a dream today
Locked it up and threw the key away It was a very old and dusty dream Everybody knows - There's no time for happiness today Got a date for lunch a PLASTIC TRAY Got a deal to sign her life away Got an early grave she's gotta make And we are all insane * Hold on Slow down You'll never get to heaven on this merry-go-round Turn on Turn round You know you're going nowhere If you keep on going round The merry-go-round Christopher Robin blew his friends away Wrapped 'em up and moved up Barnsley way Got a job he's milking PLASTIC TRAYS Got a line in filling early graves Round and round and round and round he goes Where he stops well no-one seems to know why They've forgotten just what he could be He's the same the same as you and me We are all insane * Repeat Go on Slow down You'll never get to heaven on this merry-go-round Turn on Turn round You know you're going nowhere If you keep on going round The merry-go-round La la la la etc. |

Don't you know the party's over Queenie?
Why do you wait here alone? The lights are cold - the music's over Queenie All your dancing friends have flown Everybody's grown But you're still clinging to the old dreams Queenie A frightened child you won't let go You try so hard to fit them new clothes Queenie You try so hard it makes you old Christ, you look so old * Give yourself a little treat Give up these hopeless dreams Give yourself a little treat And set yourself free Give yourself a chance to see You're exactly what you're meant to be You're beautiful to me You're beautiful don't you see You little Queen You little Queen You little Queen You little Queen Whilst you pushed against the whole world Queenie You let your life all slip away You try so hard to push the clock back Queenie That you missed out on today Living yesterdays * Repeat Throwing all your love into another commotion Shooting off your mouth to keep the party in motion Acting out the role where you don't feel no emotion Why do you not see You're already beautiful Why don't you see You little Queen Why can't you see You little Queen Sha la la la la you little Queen Sha la la la la you little Queen Sha la la la la la you little Queen Sha la la la la you little Queen You little Queen You little Queen You little Queen |

Walking home at 7.30
Past the creatures life's forgotten She don't look nobody in the eye no more Queuing up her nose is bleeding Early morning papers screaming Don't look up dear News is out They've all gone crazy She's on fire She whispers suicide She's slow dissolving She's every song that ever made you lonely She don't wanna be so cruel But it's oh so cruel when you look in those wasted eyes She don't wanna be so cruel But it's oh so cruel when you look in those wasted coloured eyes There's no love when you're all wasted out There's no love when you're all wasted out There's no love when you're all wasted out Staying in to kill a new day Burning letters from her Ma She lives with the splinters Throwing up to keep her weight down A butterfly goes by her window A whole new world cries out to greet her She's don't notice In the darkness of herold room She's on fire She walks a suicide You know she's holding That picture of the world exploding She's on fire All tangled up and wired She's always holding She's only ever going to leave you lonely She don't wanna be so cruel But it's oh so cruel when you look in those wasted eyes She don't wanna be so cruel But it's oh so cruel when you look in those wasted coloured eyes Oh yeah No she don't mean to hurt you But she's dying right in front of you tonight Oh yeah Oh yeah There's no love when you're all wasted out There's no love when you're all wasted out There's no love when you're all wasted out There's no love when you're all wasted out You're all wasted out You're all wasted out You're all wasted out |

Something in your eyes that says
you've seen the whole of time A secret hidden in the dirt That flashes on your smile A secret we all lost today Of something once divine The beauty of the world has flown I see it in your eyes Mona Lisa Mona Lisa smile Mona Lisa I'm captured by your disappearing smile There's no-one left to see ya 'Cos there's no-one left alive 'Cos we're all drunk and Howling Or stoned out of our minds Or blind obsessed with shopping Or clinging to our (husbands) wives It's a graveyard on the upside Of these city streets you'll find * Mona Lisa Mona Lisa smile Mona Lisa Mona Lisa smile ** I just wanna know how to get there I just wanna know how to break clear You are the world's forgotten love Kiss me Mona Lisa You are the world's forgotten love Kiss me Mona Lisa I don't know about you man But she say I don't belong I don't know about you man But she say I don't belong I don't belong here I don't belong here Something in your eyes that says You've seen it all before A mystery unfolding You're a mystery for sure The mystery gets deeper when you look into it's eyes Yes a mystery gets stronger when you look deep in it's eyes * Repeat ** Repeat You are the love we left behind Touch me Mona Lisa You are the love we've left behind Touch me Mona Lisa I don't know about you man But I feel that something's wrong But I don't know about you man But I feel that something's wrong There's something wrong here There's something wrong here Tell me why she gave me wings They took away the sky Tell me why she gave me wings They took away the sky Mona Lisa Do not leave me here tonight Do not leave me Do not leave me here tonight Can you hear me Mona Lisa (X4) I don't belong here (X4) Don't you see I'm not from here Don't you know I'm not from here Don't you see I'm not from here Don't you see I'm not from here |

I'm counting down the days now
'Til I will reach your side And cross this space that is between us See the angels in your eyes I miss you in the laughter of the river I miss you in the evening skies I miss you at the moment of my waking And when I dream I pray for wings to fly Got a lot of love to bring back this time Got a lot of love to bring back this time I'll love you more than this 'til I die And you make me alive You make me alive Feel the pain of all the days now Of all the days we spent apart I remember how I love to watch you sleeping I've kept your words all safe and warm and dry I wish that you were here to see the sunrise I wish that you were here to stop these nights When I whisper out your name into the silence How I wish how I pray for wings to fly Got a lot of love to bring back this time Got a lot of love to bring back to your side You know our love will make everything alright You know our love will make everything alright Everything alright Everything alright Everything alright Couldn't love you more than this is all I know Couldn't love you more than this all the angels told All the angels told All the angels told |
