Someone's falling down tonight
While facing front you stand and scream for more The room jumps hot and chucked aside The empty cans teeter across the floor But at the edge the girl who shows in every crowd And never seems to have enough Is tossed by waves of sound and up on music loud When all at once it gets too much Someone's falling down Someone's falling down Because she can't stand no more Someone's falling down She says her mother kicked her out She's got no name and no home to telephone She's hitching rides and sleeping out But she's OK with nowhere else to go So what else can you do but simply pick her up And watch her simply walk away Does no-one care enough you know it's not enough To put her on her feet again Someone's falling down Someone's falling down Is it me or you or who? Someone's falling down |

I don't know
But I won't be told the streets of heaven are paved with gold I'm gonna stop looking over my shoulder to check what's right I'm gonna stop thinking it over. And start tonight Do it fast or do it slow Do it once then let it go I don't know I don't know I don't know But I won't be told You're gonna stop looking over my shoulder to see what I'm at Okay, You're a little bit older. Okay, all right, so what You did it thus. You did it so The difference is you think you know I don't know I don't know I don't know Still I won't be told I don't know but I won't be told I'm not putting myself on hold I'm not buying and I won't be sold I won't find out till I'm out of control I'm gonna stop being cautious and sober. Get out and get on I'm gonna start taking me over. And off on the run You did it once. I don't care how 'cause that was then and this is now I don't know I don't know I don't know But I won't be told I don't know And I hope I live before I get old I don't know I don't know And you can't tell me |

Living on Government hand-outs
Water in the milk from a hole in the roof Where the rain comes through What can you do? You can't move You got tears from your little sister Crying 'cause she don't have a dress without a patch in For the party to go Aw, but you know she'll get by 'cause she's .... [Chorus:] Living in the love of the common people Smiles through the heart of the family man Poppa's gonna buy her a dream to cling to Momma's gonna love her just as much as she can And she can It's a good thing you don't have bus fares They would fall through a hole in your pocketand you'd lose them In the snow on the ground You gotta walk into town to find a job Trying to keep yourself warm But the hole in your shoe lets the snow come through And chills you to the bone So now you better go home where it's warm and you can [Chorus] Living on dreams ain't easy |

So somebody's told you how to be a man
Just fuck 'em and leave 'em and score as many as you can But always have someone who's close to your heart And if you want to keep her, keep her in the dark 'Cause you love her, so you just can't tell her Yet that's a lie and you know full well You have to pay the price of admission You have to pay the price of admission You have to pay the price of admission Sometime in your life somewhere along the line And now she tells you that she's fucked others too She didn't spend those nights waiting in on you But though she gave her all, she never gave her heart And she wants to keep you, so she cannot keep it dark 'Cause she loves you, so she has to open wide She lets you in up close and blows away your pride And you have to pay the price of admission You have to pay the price of admission You have to pay the price of admission This time in your life, and lay it on the line So somebody showed you how to be a man |

Looking back it's funny that we never lied
That night we met when were both alone We knew at once that what we'd want was just that night Knew it couldn't be forever Cause we each told of another And then found something all our own [Chorus] We both agreed we felt the need that goes skin deep We said up front that's all we'd want and so We took the love that felt so good and had to be Just a case of touch and go When we'd got that usual block out of the way We both relaxed, sat back and felt so sure Saw eye to eye and looked each other in the face Hours we talked with warmth and laughter And we still could talk more after In the dark up on the seventh floor [Chorus] Some might joke I came and went And snigger she's a whore But there's two people know it meant much more Looking back was not allowed that morning so We stuck by what we'd said Rose and left without regret But for a moment it was touch and go We both agreed we felt the need to touch and go But oh, you know, it was touch and go |

They say our country's on the rocks and Britain's the greatest
They say the blacks get all the jobs. They say that they are lazy A nice girl won't let you have sex. Enjoys it if you make her The media all twist the facts. I read it in the paper Stands to reason You've heard it said so it has to be the truth Fact or fiction. What's the difference. They say it's so But think again. Repeat mistakes and it's never gonna change And you never get the truth if you never ask yourself, what do they know? They say all cops are bastard thugs. They're all a bunch of racists The Scots are mean. The Irish mugs. At heart all men are rapists Girls today they ask for it. I never touched your mother And youngsters now are all on drugs. Yes, thanks, I'll have another Stands to reason Mark my words. Take a tip from one who knows You will know more when you're older. They say it's so But come again. Question it when you see it doesn't fit And you never get the truth if you never ask yourself So you ask me what's the score Well, I can only say to make up your own mind I'd rather see the whole world die than you or I believe a lie What do I know? We had it hard when I was young. We used to have such great times A man took pride in what he'd done. You should have seen the breadlines To get back to that golden age there must be unemployment But kids today don't want to work. They're just out for enjoyment Stands to reason It won't change 'cause it's always been the same People hating, people fighting. They say it's so Do you believe that? Perhaps you do but it's only up to you And you never get the truth if you never ask yourself What do they know? |

It was nothing like that in my day .... Here in my town
We didn't get things all our way. Till we were full-grown Now they go into pubs. And you're gonna get mugged In my town So you read about it every day .... In the headlines How they take and take and drive away. Sex and late nights And it's gotta be wrong. Because they're so young They're only bits of kids. They're only bits of kids It's always bits of kids today She makes the breakfast, one of eight .... All in one room Each uncle's call keeps them up late. Yes, in this town And he won't go home 'cause he'll just be alone till night time They're only bits of kids. They're only bits of kids It's always bits of kids today Broken cities, 'n' broken homes. Bits of kids who don't grow whole Broken cities, 'n' broken hearts. Bits of people who fall apart And it seems there's nothing anyway .... Not here in this town Everything is only yesterday. And on the way down And we're gonna be wrong. So we gotta be strong In our town We're bits of kids. We're only bits of kids It's only bits of kids today Bits of kids. We're always .... Here in my town |

And now and then when I'm in the mood
I might get up at the crack of noon Then take a wander down to the arcade Might as well clock up a high score And hang around with my mates before I wander back to find my dole's been paid Stay outdoors, play football Or simply play the fool. If it rains go back in You can always watch Play School Don't try to tell me that it ain't a lot I'm gonna make the best of what I've got So I've got no job ..... welcome to the whole week I've always got my LP's to play Or find a friend to get a loan and tape And any time it's time to eat again Before you know, it's any night and so You meet the gang and go along the road Take any chance to have a drink or ten Share the crack. Blokes with cash Get a hit of something else Out all night. Shoot and fight It makes you feel that you're yourself Some of you have got it in for me I don't need that or your sympathy So I've got no job ..... Welcome to the whole week If you don't mind, I have decided to live my life Well, it's always something to do My girl comes round and all we do is talk For hours on end, or we don't talk at all While we do more ... or less ... as we please You keep on that it's wrong We haven't earned lives of ease But there's no work to do And I won't queue up on my knees I never said that this was my ideal But still I'm gonna feel and make it real So I've got no job ...... Welcome to the whole week I never promised you I'd go away You can't ignore me 'cause I'm here to stay So it's too bad .... Let me at the whole week |

Every time I go to speak my mind you just ignore me
Every time I try to have my say you have it for me They say there's freedom of speech But when I try to make free you say Don't you talk back to me Don't you talk back to me Don't you talk back to me Every time Every time I ask you to lend an ear I get both together Everything I say just goes in one and out the other They say there's freedom of thought But when I think out aloud you say Don't you talk back to me Don't you talk back to me Don't you talk back to me Now you must see reason See that I'm a person Shut your face and listen .... ain't it time And if you open your mouth I'll jump straight down your throat and say Don't you talk back to me Don't you talk back to me Don't you talk back to me Don't you talk back to me Don't you talk back to me Don't you talk back to me Anytime |

Yes, I know you did your bit back then. But what was it you won?
Take a good look round you now. Whose side were you on? And I wonder if you understand at all. And I wonder if you ever ask yourself When everyone has an equal chance to live the life they buy When free health care can save your life. But queue until you die Then I wonder if you understand at all. And I wonder if you ever ask yourself Is that what you fought the war for. Is that what you fought the war for Is that what you fought the war for. Is that what you fought the war for When still the muscles make the man. And men make women pay When Britain's flag is a badge of hate. And just the fair can play When still the homeless, jobless cry. When money shouts and lies And buys off just enough to vote. Pass by the other side Then I wonder if you understand at all. And I wonder if you never ask yourself Is that what you fought the war for. Is that what you fought the war for Is that what you fought the war for. Is that what you fought the war for At the going down of the sun And in the light of day All you need remember is We won't be taken like your generation again Is that what you fought the war for. Is that what you fought the war for Is that what you fought the war for. Is that what you fought the war for |

It seems so easy in the light of day
And when we're there it always feels OK But then again I'm so alone when I am by myself And can I ever count on someone else? And then you say [Chorus] Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Why don't you listen to your heart Listen to your heart This kind of thing keeps me awake at night It gets so I can't sleep without the light And then again I wonder what I'm really wondering for Cause where we'd be I never felt so sure And so you say [Chorus] Oh, it's not as bad as it seems Oh, it's not as crazy as my dreams As my dreams Alright I know that I can make it through I have no doubts here as I talk to you But then again [Chorus twice] You gotta understand |

Hey you..............
Sad-eyed people sat in bars Sad-eyed People sat in bars In the corner there's the party with the birthday Its quite happy but its quite sad because no one's there and no one cares Least of all me Sad-eyed people sat in bars Sad-eyed People sat in bars A mother and father consoling a daughter The guy who threw her over, at the weekend, doesn't matter he's as mad as a hatter to pass on a jewel like you Sad-eyed people sat in bars Sad-eyed People sat in bars A husband and wife never of the one-armed bandit Hand it to them, they always almost win and its something to talk about I suppose They're all Sad-eyed people sat in Sad-eyed people sat in Sad-eyed people sat in Sad-eyed people sat in they sat in bars Over there there's a young couple laughing No-one notices or pays them any heed Cos we've got what we need Except for me I'm a Sad eyed boy who sits in sad eyed boy who sits in sad eyed boy who sits in bars |
