She'd given everything she could give Twenty years of kindness made her sad Kindness never made enough to live So she sold the very last thing that she had As she held her hand out to him As he drove around the block He mouthed through the window 'just hold on' 'I've held on many years now and I haven't found a lot' Hold on, hold on to what? So hold on to what? Hold on to what? Holding on is harder when it's something you've not got I'll need a pair of stilts if I'm to ever reach the top So hold on! Hold on to what? Many years of service with a smile Up shit creek and down the Rhine Gibraltar Rock and now the Emerald Isle He'd shined every shoe that he could shine And as he lay in his own blood Screaming 'I've been shot' He heard the Major whisper 'just hold on' 'I've held on all these years now, now what medal have I got?' Hold on, hold on to what? So hold on to what? Hold on to what? Holding on is harder when it's something you've not got I'll need a pair of stilts if I'm to ever reach the top So hold on! Hold on to what? So hold on to what? Hold on to what? Holding on is harder when it's something you've not got I'll need a pair of stilts if I'm to ever reach the top So hold on! Hold on to what? Sixty years and he's looking his worst Sitting in the park where she'd died Running hands through his final hair These are the words that he cried To achieve the American dream You need a trampoline To achieve the counter effect Get that whisky down your neck' And hold o |

Don't know what I'm doing here I'll carry on regardless Got enough money for one more beer I'll carry on regardless Good as gold, but stupid as mud He'll carry on regardless They'll bleed his heart 'til there's no more blood But carry on regardless Carry on with laugh Carry on with cry Carry on with brown under moonlit sky I want my love, my joy, my laugh, my smile, my needs Not in the star signs Or the palm that she reads I want my sun-drenched, wind-swept Ingrid Bergman kiss Not in the next life I want it in this I want it in this Got one note to last all week I'll carry on regardless The hill to happiness is far too steep I'll carry on regardless Dried his mouth in the Memphis sun He carried on regardless Tried to smile and he bit his tongue But carry on regardless Carry on with work Carry on with love Carry on with cheering Anything above I want my love, my joy, my laugh, my smile, my needs Not in the star signs Or the palm that she reads I want my sun-drenched, wind-swept Ingrid Bergman kiss Not in the next life I'll have it in this I'll have it in this I don't want silver, I just want gold Carry on regardless Bronze is for the sick and the old But carry on regardless I want my love, my joy, my laugh, my smile, my needs Not in the star signs Or the palm that she reads I want my sun-drenched, wind-swept Ingrid Bergman kiss Not in the next life I'll have it in this I'll have it in this |

Only buy this if you're lonely
Only listen if you're blue If you are married and you are happy This song is not to do with you If you're listening at your work place Feeling small amongst the men Do not sing this to your workmates This song is not to do with them But if you're sitting on a barstool Wondering what on earth to do Don't let them tell you no-one cares This songs one especially for you If you are listening on your radio Smiling while you drive along Tune the band into another Because this song is not your song If you're working as a DJ Leave this record in it's sleeve Cause this ones not for general airplay This song's for the day she leaves If you've bought this and you're sinking And I think that you know who It matters not the mouth thats singing This song's one especially for you So this goes out to the lonely So this goes out to the sad And it goes out to the only One you felt you ever had If you're there in total darkness With a letter in your hand Do not bother with the letter lust listen to the band So only buy this if you're lonely |

Everybody's talkin' at me. I can't hear a word they're sayin', Only the echoes of my mind. People stoppin' starin' I can't see their faces, Only the shadows of their eyes. I'm goin' where the sun keeps shinin' Thru the pourin' rain, Goin' where the weather suits my clothes. Bankin' off the northeast wind, Sailin' on a summer breeze, Trippin' over the ocean like a stone. Woh Woh Woh I'm goin' where the sun keeps shinin' Thru the pourin' rain, Goin' where the weather suits my clothes. Bankin' off the northeast wind, Sailin' on a summer breeze, Trippin' over the ocean like a stone. (Like A Stone) Everybody's talkin' at me. Woh Woh Woh |

Line One is the time That you, you first stayed over at mine And we drank our first bottle of wine And we cried Line Two we're away And we both, we both had nowhere to stay Well the bus-shelter's always OK When you're young Now you're older and I look at your face Every wrinkle is so easy to place And I only write them down just in case That you die Let's take a look at these crows feet, just look Sitting on the prettiest eyes Sixty 25th of Decembers Fifty-nine 4th of Julys Not through the age or the failure, children Not through the hate or despise Take a good look at these crows feet Sitting on the prettiest eyes Line Three I forget But I think, I think it was our first ever bet And the horse we backed was short of a leg Never mind Line Four in a park And the things, the things that people do in the dark I could hear the faintest beat of your heart Then we did Now you're older and I look at your face Every wrinkle is so easy to place And I only write them down just in case You should die Lets take a look at these crows feet, just look Sitting on the prettiest eyes Sixty 25th of Decembers Fifty-nine 4th of Julys You can't have too many good times, children You can't have too many lines Take a good look at these crows feet Sitting on the prettiest eyes Well my eyes look like a map of the town And my teeth are either yellow or they're brown But you'll never hear the crack of a frown When you are here You'll never hear the crack Of a frown |

The sheets won't need changing everyday
The freezer supply should last a year Those hidden little points that you're away Nothing much has changed since you were here Our paths will cross some day Our paths will cross some day While you're out jogging and I'm sat snogging Some fool on a lakeside bench And when she calls I hope it's you that dials I hope it's you that feels this love inside And when I touch her I hope it's you that smiles And when I die I hope it's you I'm beside To die with her would be a worthless lie To die with her would be a worthless die To die together would be worth a try To die together would be worth a try The family pack seems larger than it should Two for one's no good when there's just one I'd raise a bigger smile if I could But me minus you equals none Our paths will cross some day Our paths will cross some day When you're out fishing and I'm sat wishing You instead of him Our paths will cross some day Our patbs will cross some day When you're out exercising and I'm there prising The pants of I my latest sin And when we kiss she knows it's you I kiss 'Cause when we kiss I always start to cry You just can't cover up these lying lips When I die I hope it's you I'm beside To die with her would be a worthless lie To die with her would be a worthless die To die together would be worth a try To die together would be worth a try An ambulance flashed past me in the street Just yards from where we were to meet I was half hoping you were dead meat That it was you that was under the sheet And as you lay there alone in the ward Fumbling for the keys to death's door At least I'd have summoned up the nerve To whisper you these words Finally! Quietly! Actually! I love you |

Vagabonds don't fall in love They just wheel and they deal So if I turn a funny colour when you kiss me I can't help the way that I feel Hooligans don't fall in love They just break up others lives So when I come to you on bended knee Don't forget my twenty other wives So why? Turn to a life of violence and crime? So why? Why do you cheat and why do you lie? Because there's always someone with a bigger car There's always someone with a bigger cigar If you've been far There's someone who's been further than your far When you make your cart, you get to the start There's always someone in a faster cart There's always someone in a faster cart There's always someone in a faster cart Gangsters don't fall in love They just roam from town to town So when we kiss and we hold and we whisper Please don't ever write it down Hooligans don't fall in love They just lie and they drink So if you say I won't say 'I will' Then I won't I think! So why? Turn to a life of violence and crime? So why? Why do you cheat and why do you lie? Because there's always someone with a bigger car There's always someone with a bigger cigar If you've been far There's always someone who's been further than your far At last you're straight and you make a new start There's always someone with a better heart There's always someone with a better heart There's always someone with a better heart But all in all we're not so bad We never take from our own kind Bad's quite good w |

Hey church I was thinking
The Third World seems to be sinking Can't you all get over there And we'll have them all over here And you can learn to catch your own food And you can learn to build your own hut And we'll make up the usual excuse To keep them in the pubs till they're shut Hey skin, I just thought The doctrine Hitler has taught Is still kicking off in the States Can't you go and join with your mates Join up with the clueless clan Dress up in a bag and a skirt End up looking like a jed Meanwhile we'll have gone mad And the hidden jukebox plays us a song For each and everyone For black, white, straight and the gay Celebrate you being away Hey Turk I was thinking OK so l may have been drinking You can come drink over here And we'll fuck them off over there Whisky for the Greek and the Turk Gin for the Arab and the Jew A double arsenic for Mister Le Pen Cause it's him who soils Europe and not you And the hidden jukebox plays us a song Everyone should sing along With a message that'll ring and ring These are the words that we sing |

Sadness has filled a lonely place Before that there was just a hole At least now there's sadness on my face My lower lip has finally found it's role So the wind and the rain and the snow Had no particular place to go So they thought they'd come and spend some time with me They're better friends than you could ever be Chorus: There's a tattoo, a small tattoo Waiting there unpaid for you And if you ever bump into Unlucky Don't forget who broke your heart in two You better get there early, there's a million in the queue Just waiting for the name on their tattoo Emptiness has filled a vacant heart Finally found a place for it to hide And as I wander like a fool from bar to bar Empty has become my greatest guide And the tears and the pain and the despise Looked at me through bankrupt eyes They had nowhere else that they could land So I invited them to take my bloody hand Chorus: So queuing for a tattoo and I can't decide the name I've been wondering night after night When they put that needle in me I'll scream your name in pain And I hope he spells 'you bastard' right B-A-S-T-A-R-D, stick that needle deep in me |

They say always use a condom, I say always use a whip They say be careful where you come at night, I just shoot straight from the hip When it comes to loves great fountain, I won't just take a sip I'll swallow and I'll gulp until the fountain makes me sick So it's me left with the baby and disease You can't say you didn't want it on your hands and on your knees You made me feel so special Well you were especially good I'm sorry that you misunderstood These neatly folded corduroys hide rubber underneath But the only rubber you have worn is that useless rubber sheath I won't have what I've got for you stolen by no thief 'Cause the safest sex I've ever had was hanging from a tree So you've left me for another pretty face That's not true I left you for one half the human race Now I'm by myself A woman who knows her place It's not so much the chase, it's the race They say treat her like a lady and she'll treat you like her jewels They say cruel to be kind, I just say cruel to be cruel They say only marry once, I say only marry fools They wouldn't have made the cane if you weren't meant to break the rules Have you told them that you'll hurt them then be gone? I've told them that I'll hurt them if that really turns them on You left a bitter scar I tied those ropes too tight! I'll tie them loose for you tonight When I told you that I loved you I meant mini-correct When I said I'd never leave you I meant mini-correct A ring around your finger, a chain around your neck That was major correct |

'I fought hard in the Second World War' You hear them shout No good bragging about the Afrika Korps It was Beadle's About They dressed you up and took you off to World War One Armed you and surrounded you with wire Sat in stinking mud you sung your stupid songs And waited till they told you when to fire Cause the rulers always laugh At a video bloodbath Nothing makes them laugh Like a video bloodbath From the First World War to the Yom-Kippur It was Beadle's About The bayonets slice, the rockets roar And he jumps out Fond memories of the bloody bridge you failed to hold Many of your buddies killed or maimed You would've shot at rabbits if that's what you'd been told Till the General said 'I'm sorry you've been framed' Cause the rulers always laugh At a video bloodbath And nothing gets a laugh Like a video bloodbath Chorus: Keep those entries coming Leave those cameras running Keep those entrails coming Leave those soldiers gunning Because you're sure to get a laugh With a video bloodbath Nothing gets a laugh Like a video bloodbath Here's a wacky video we got last week A bomb catches Arthur unawares He's lost both his arms and he can't see or speak But thank you for the memory you shared Cause the rulers always laugh At a video bloodbath And nothing gets a laugh Like a video bloodbath Chorus |
