It's a god-awful small affair
To the girl with the mousy hair But her mummy is yelling 'No' And her daddy has told her to go But her friend is nowhere to be seen Now she walks through her sunken dream To the seat with the clearest view And she's hooked to the silver screen But the film is a saddening bore For she's lived it ten times or more She could spit in the eyes of fools As they ask her to focus on Sailors fighting in the dance hall Oh man! Look at those cavemen go It's the freakiest show Take a look at the Lawman Beating up the wrong guy Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know He's in the best selling show Is there life on Mars? It's on Amerika's tortured brow That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow Now the workers have struck for fame 'Cause Lennon's on sale again See the mice in their million hordes From Ibeza to the Norfolk Broads Rule Britannia is out of bounds To my mother, my dog, and clowns But the film is a saddening bore 'Cause I wrote it ten times or more It's about to be writ again As I ask you to focus on Sailors fighting in the dance hall Oh man! Look at those cavemen go It's the freakiest show Take a look at the Lawman Beating up the wrong guy Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know He's in the best selling show Is there life on Mars? |

A small Jean Genie snuck off to the city
Strung out on lasers and slash back blazers and Ate all your razors while pulling the waiters Talking 'bout Monroe and walking on Snow White New York's a go-go, and everything tastes nice Poor little Greenie The Jean Genie lives on his back The Jean Genie loves chimney stacks (The Jean Genie) he's outrageous, he screams and he bawls The Jean Genie, let yourself go Sits like a man, but he smiles like a reptile She loves him, she loves him, but just for a short while She'll scratch in the sand, won't let go his hand He says he's a beautician and sells you nutrition And keeps all your dead hair for making up underwear Poor little Greenie The Jean Genie lives on his back The Jean Genie loves chimney stacks (The Jean Genie) he's outrageous, he screams and he bawls The Jean Genie, let yourself go He's so simple minded, he can't drive his module He bites on the neon and sleeps in the capsule Loves to be loved Loves to be loved The Jean Genie lives on his back The Jean Genie loves chimney stacks (The Jean Genie) he's outrageous, he screams and he bawls The Jean Genie, let yourself go Go Go The Jean Genie lives on his back The Jean Genie loves chimney stacks (The Jean Genie) he's outrageous, he screams and he bawls The Jean Genie, let yourself go Go Go, go |

I-I wish you could swim
Like the dolphins-like dolphins can swim Though nothing-nothing will keep us together We can beat them-for ever and ever Oh we can be heroes-just for one day I-I will be king And you-you will be queen Though nothing will drive them away We can be heroes-just for one day We can beat them-just for one day I-I can remember Standing-by the wall And the guns-shot above our heads And we kissed-as though nothing could fall And the shame-was on the other side Oh we can beat them-forever and ever Then we could be heroes-just for one day We can be heroes (3X) Just for one day We can be heroes We′re nothing, and nothing will help us Maybe we′re lying, then you better not stay But we could be safer, just for one day Oh, oh, oh, ohhh-oh, oh, oh, ohhh, just for one day Oh, just for one day |

Let's dance
Put on your red shoes and dance the blues Let's dance To the songs they're playin' on the radio Let's sway While colour lights up your face Let's sway Sway through the crowd to an empty space If you say run, I'll run with you If you say hide, we'll hide Because my love for you Would break my heart in two If you should fall Into my arms And tremble like a flower Let's dance Let's dance Let's dance For fear your grace should fall Let's dance For fear tonight is all Let's sway You could look into my eyes Let's sway Under the moonlight, the serious moonlight And if you say run, I'll run with you And if you say hide, we'll hide Because my love for you Would break my heart in two If you should fall Into my arms And tremble like a flower Let's dance Put on your red shoes and dance the blues Let's sway Under the moonlight, the serious moonlight Let's dance Let's dance Let's dance |

I could escape this feeling, with my china girl
I feel a wreck without my, little china girl I hear her heart beating, loud as thunder Saw they stars crashing I'm a ness without my, little china girl Wake up mornings where's my, little china girl I hear her heart's beating, loud as thunder Saw they stars crashing down I feel a-tragic like I'm marlon brando When I look at my china girl I could pretend that nothing really meant too much When I look at my china girl I stumble into town just like a sacred cow Visions of swastikas in my head Plans for everyone It's in the whites of my eyes My little china girl You shouldn't mess with me I'll ruin everything you are I'll give you television I'll give you eyes of blue I'll give you a man who wants to rule the world And when I get excited My little china girl says Oh baby just you shut your mouth She says ... sh-sh-shhh |
