Seen you before, I know your sort,
You think the world awaits your every breath You'll be my friend, or so you say You'll help me out when the time comes And all the time we're getting rich, You hang around to help me out But when we're skint, Oh God Forbid! You drop us like hot bricks Artistic Freedom. Do what you want. But just make sure that the money ain't gone I'll tell you what, I got you sussed You'll waste my time, when my time comes. |

To be someone must be a wonderful thing
A famous footballer a rock singer Or a big film star, yes I think I would like that To be rich and have lots of fans Have lots of girls to prove that I'm a man And be No. 1 - and liked by everyone Getting drugged up with my trendy friends They really dig me and I dig them And the bread I spend - is like my fame - it's Quickly diminished And there's no more swimming in a guitar shaped Pool No more reporters at my beck and call No more cocaine it's only ground chalk No more taxis now we'll have to walk But didn't we have a nice time - Didn't we have a nice time Oh wasn't it such a fine time I realize I should have stuck to my guns Instead shit out to be one of the bastard sons And lose myself - I know it was wrong - but it's Cost me a lot And there's no more drinking after the club shuts down, I'm out on me arse with the rest of the clowns It's really frightening without a bodyguard So I stay confined to my lonely room |

Daylight dawns, you wake up and yawn - Mr. Clean
A piece of toast from the one you love most - and you leave You catch your bus in the 8 o'clock rush, And catch your train in the morning rain Mr. Clean - Mr. Clean If you see me in the street - look away 'Cause I don't ever want to catch you looking at me - Mr. Clean 'Cause I hate you and your wife And if I get the chance I'll fuck up your life Mr. Clean - Mr. Clean IS THAT SEEN! Surround yourself with dreams, of pretty young girls, and anyone you want, but please don't forget me or any of my kind 'cause I'll make you think again When I stick your face in the grime Getting pissed at the annual office do Smart blue suit and you went to Cambridge too You miss page 3, but the Times is right for you And mum and dad are very proud of you Mr. Clean - etc. |

I am a dull and simple lad
Cannot tell water from champagne and I have never met the Queen And I wish I could have all he has got - I wish I could be like David Watts And when I lie on my pillow at night I dream I could fight like David Watts And lead the school team to victory Take my exams and pass the lot He is the head boy at the school He is the captain of the team He is so gay and fancy free And I wish I could have all he has got I wish I could be like David Watts And all the girls in the neighbourhood Try to go out with David Watts The try their best but can't succeed For he is of pure and noble breed |

No matter where I roam
I will return to my English rose For no bonds can ever tempt me from she I've sailed the seven seas, Flown the whole blue sky. But I've returned with haste to where my Love does lie. No matter where I go I will come back to my English Rose For nothing can ever tempt me from she. I've searched the secret mists - I've climbed the highest peaks Caught the wild wind home To hear her soft voice speak No matter where I roam I will return to my English Rose For no bonds can ever keep me from she. I've been to ancient worlds I've scoured the whole universe And caught the first train home To be at her side. No matter where I roam I will return to my English Rose For no bonds, nothing and no-one can ever keep me from she |

When I'm in the crowd, I don't see anything
My mind goes a blank, in the humid sunshine when I'm in the crowd I don't see anything I fall into a trance, at the supermarket the noise flows me along, as I catch falling cans of baked beans on toast, technology is the most. and everyone seems just like me, they struggle hard to set themselves free and they're waiting for the change When I'm in the crowd, I can't remember my name and my only link is a pint of Wall's ice cream when I'm in the crowd - I don't see anything Sometimes I think that it's a plot, an equilibrium melting pot The government sponsors underhand When I'm in the crowd When I'm in the crowd When I'm in the crowd And everyone seems that they're acting a dream 'cause they're just not thinking about each other and they're taking orders, which are media spawned and they should know better, now you have been warned and don't forget you saw it here first When I'm in the crowd When I'm in the crowd When I'm in the crowd And life just simply moves along in simple houses, simple jobs and no one's wanting for the change When I'm in the crowd When I'm in the crowd When I'm in the crowd |

All we seem to do is talk about it
we always end up shouting about it there was a time when we could overcome it But it's too late to say we'll just forget it It's too bad that we had to break up and too much said for us to ever make up I could get by if I could just forget you but things remind me and I feel so sad now Same old feeling everytime I see you and every avenue I walk I'm behind you your back is turned and your eyes are closed girl you move in circles that are out of my reach now I could say I'm sorry but it's not the point is it? you want to play your games and you don't mind if I get high! |

The way that sunlight flits across your skirt,
makes me feel I'm from another world, To touch your face in the morning light. I hope you're always gonna be around. The times I struggle to understand why, The ancient proverbs like Who am I? Why am I here and What have I done? I see the answer's place my trust in you Trust in you love, be with me then, That's when I want you, that's when I need you the most. I want us to be like Peter Pan But dreams it seems are weightless as sand, And man's supposedly is made of sand It seems that man cannot survive at all Let's disappear love, let's fly away Into the demi-monde, into the twilight zone The times inside I spent screaming at you Release me please from this mortal jail One shrug or smile can determine my fate, I'm lost for days and have myself to blame Something I'm giving, is yours for the taking, Something like sunlight, Love is a spotlight Love is all sorrow, still I'll meet you tomorrow And look forward to see you, now I can't live without you |

The place I love is a million miles away,
it's too far for the eye to see Still it's me at least, and you can't come there No one is allowed at all Only animals that love, will always, only, ever could be Still it's always at the back of my mind. The place I love is overgrown now With beautiful moss and colourful flowers And goldfish that swim in a pool, there's a small brick wall With neon lighting controlled by lightning I'm making a stand against the world There's those who would hurt us if they heard. And its always in the back of my mind The place I love is no where near here, Not within a yard of those trendy do's, Where dogsbodies pick you up, and graciously give you a lift, With cherished thoughts and bitterness. I'm making a stand against the world, There's those who would hurt us if they heard And it's always in the back of my mind |

Where the streets are pave with blood,
with cataclysmic overtones Fear and hate linger in the air A strictly no-go deadly zone I don't know what I'm doing here 'cause it's not my scene at all There's an 'A' bomb in Wardour Street They've called in the Army, they've called in the police I'm stranded on the vortex floor My head's been kicked in and blood's started to pour Through the haze I can see my girl Fifteen geezers got her pinned to the door There's an 'A' bomb in Wardour Street, it's blown up the City Now it's spreading through the country Law and order takes a turn for the worst, In the shape of a size 10 boot Rape and murder throughout the land, and they tell me that you're still a free man Well if this is freedom I don't understand 'cause it seems like madness to me. 'A' bomb in Wardour Street. Hate Bomb, Hate Bomb, Hate Bomb, Hate Bomb! A Philistine nation, of degradation, And hate and war. There must be more. It's Doctor Martin's A P O C A L Y P S E Apocalypse! |

The distant echo -
of faraway voices boarding faraway trains To take them home to the ones that they love and who love them forever The glazed, dirty steps - repeat my own and reflect my thoughts Cold and uninviting, partially naked Except for toffee wrapers and this morning's papers Mr. Jones got run down Headlines of death and sorrow - they tell of tomorrow Madmen on the rampage And I'm down in the tube station at midnight I fumble for change - and pull out the Queen Smiling, beguiling I put in the money and pull out a plum Behind me Whispers in the shadows - gruff blazing voices Hating, waiting "Hey boy" they shout "have you got any money?" And I said "I've a little money and a take away curry, I'm on my way home to my wife. She'll be lining up the cutlery, You know she's expecting me Polishing the glasses and pulling out the cork" And I'm down in the tube station at midnight I first felt a fist, and then a kick I could now smell their breath They smelt of pubs and Wormwood Scrubs And too many right wing meetings My life swam around me It took a look and drowned me in its own existence The smell of brown leather It blended in with the weather It filled my eyes, ears, nose and mouth It blocked all my senses Couldn't see, hear, speak any longer And I'm down in the tube station at midnight I said I was down in the tube station at midnight The last thing that I saw As I lay there on the floor Was "Jesus Saves" painted by an atheist nutter And a British Rail poster read "Have an Awayday - a cheap holiday - Do it today!" I glanced back on my life And thought about my wife 'Cause they took the keys - and she'll think it's me And I'm down in the tube station at midnight The wine will be flat and the curry's gone cold I'm down in the tube station at midnight Don't want to go down in a tube station at midnight |

Power, Pop!
Read about the things that happen throughout the world Don't believe in everything you see or hear The neighbours talk day in day out about the goings on They tell us what they want - they don't give an inch Look at the pictures taken by the cameras they cannot lie The truth is in what you see - not what you read Little men tapping things out - points of view Remember their views are not the gospel truth Don't believe it all Find out for yourself Check before you spread News of the world News of the world Never doubt Never ask Never moan Never search Never find Never know News of the world Each morning our key to the world comes through the door More than often its just a comic, not much more Don't take it too serious - not many do Read between the lines and you'll find the truth Read all about it, read all about it - news of the world |

The difference between every day I can't think of the words to say Worlds apart, you and I, we're worlds apart I've been in some clubs where the music's loud ‘cos I see your face in every crowd But it's not really you It's like having a cold on a summers day Something ain't right and I want you to stay You must know that Worlds apart, you and I, we're worlds apart |
