70년대 원단 영국 펑크의 아버지들 중에 하나인 BUZZCOCKS의 2003년 감격스런 귀환. 그시절 섹스피스톨즈의 아나키즘도 클래쉬의 정치적 선동도 휘발되어 들려진 맥락없는 펑크였던 버즈콕스의 장점은 무엇보다 팝송에 대한 자의식이었다. 이삼분짜리 팝송을 신들리듯 써 냈던 펑크팝의 아버지였던 그들의 복귀는 아무래도 본작의 레이블 오너인 슈퍼청크의 존경심이 발원된 부부이 적지 않았을 것이다. 늙지 않는게 영원한 펑크정신이라면 버즈콕스는 아직도 펑크의 한 부분을 꽉 움켜쥐고 있다. 사랑스런 훅으록 가득한 앨범. .... ....
Yesterday while feeling down, I called you on the phone Instead of being warm you seemed so cold Was it something that I said or something on your mind No matter what it was, we had a row
Believe me, I'm sorry I never meant to argue I'm a jerk, you're right to tell me so Forgive me, I beg you You know I only love you Wish I hadn't told you where to go
It was my fault, you're not to blame, it's me who is in the wrong That's why I wrote this song just to explain Accept my apology, it comes straight from my heart Let's put it all behind us and move on
Believe me, I'm sorry I never meant to argue I'm a jerk, you're right to tell me so Forgive me, I beg you You know I only love you Wish I hadn't told you where to go
Believe me, I'm sorry I never meant to argue I'm a jerk, you're right to tell me so Forgive me, I beg you You know I only love you Wish I hadn't told you where to go
Believe me, I'm sorry I never meant to argue I'm a jerk, you're right to tell me so I beg you, forgive me You know I only love you Wish I hadn't told you where to go
There's no two ways about it There's nothing left to say If only you'd paid attention Then things wouldn't be this way Crazy paved with good intentions Is the rut that you're stuck in So that all that's left to fear Is the enemy within
Suffer from a little depression, baby Gotta tell the world what you feel Nothing wrong with self-expression, baby Keep on keeping it real
Spare me your hypocrisy I haven't got the time For unreasonable reason's More a punishment than crime We all can take cold comfort Now the writing's on the wall But the pill that's left to swallow Is the bitterest of all
Suffer from a little depression, baby Gotta tell the world what you feel Nothing wrong with self-expression, baby Keep on keeping it real One more Pyrrhic victory Another dodgy deal

Nothing wrong with self-expression, baby Keep on keeping it real One more Pyrrhic victory Another dodgy deal
Suffer from a little depression, baby Gotta tell the world what you feel Don't jump to confusion It's all a wind-up
Nothing wrong with self-expression, baby Keep on keeping it real Don't jump to confusion It's all a wind-up

Well you live in a dream Life's not what it seems This is the time for your wake up call No sense of being No way of seeing This is the time for your wake up call
Ooh Ooh
On that ice you swerve Well you got a nerve This is the time for your wake up call When you're living a lie Can't see eye to eye This is the time for your wake up call
Ooh Ooh
Tell me, tell me, tell me Tell me, what were you thinking of Tell me, tell me, tell me Tell me, what were you thinking of
No cause for alarm It can't do you no harm This is the time for your wake up call So you walk in your sleep All those dreams you can keep This is the time for your wake up call
Well, I've been up all night Couldn't get to dream at all Trying hard not to make a decision You know it doesn't seem right When your back's to the wall To be accused of sensationalism But the way things are going Wouldn't be at all surprised If a song that I liked won the next Eurovision
I turn around and it all looks the same I don't even know if I'll ever be loved again The only thing I can rely on is change
It's a mixed up world These are mixed up times And the recipe of life's mixed up too But it's the quality of the ingredients that matter I award myself a cordon bleu But I can't help thinking That you wouldn't understand Unless I did a lot of explaining to you
I look around but it still looks the same I don't even know if I'll ever be loved again The only thing I can rely on is change
You know, I've often wondered If what you're telling me is true But I know that I can make it If I have my friends to see me through
I look around but it still looks the same I don't even know if I'll ever be loved again The only thing I can rely on is change

Sun streams through the window, it's another day I lie in bed nursing my hangover Couldn't stomach breakfast I feel like throwing up
Wake up and face the morning after Wake up and face the morning after
The switch to double brandies was a big mistake Now my mouth tastes like the bottom of a birdcage It's nature's way of telling me That I had better stop
Wake up and face the morning after Wake up and face the morning after
Wake up and face the morning after Wake up and face the morning after Wake up and face the morning after Wake up and face the morning after Wake up and face the morning after Wake up and face the morning after Wake up and face the morning after Wake up and face the morning after Wake up and face the morning after Wake up and face the morning after
When you don't know who you are And you're walking with a scar In the places that are breaking down your mind It's a complicated day Busy people on their way Mirrored buildings reflecting in your eyes
Sick city sometimes Sick city in your mind Sick city sometimes Sick city left you way behind
Through the paper and the trash All the needles and the cash Side by side with the man in the big car Then it turns the dead of night And you get into a fight And the blades run down your back like superstars
Sick city sometimes Sick city in your mind Sick city sometimes Sick city left you way behind
Sick city sometimes Sick city in your mind Sick city sometimes Sick city left you way behind
Sick city sometimes Sick city in your mind Sick city sometimes Sick city left you way behind
Now the buildings take a fall And it tries to kill us all In the name of something zero in your mind
Now the buildings take a fall And it tries to kill us all In the name of something zero in your mind
Sick city sometimes Sick city in your mind Sick city sometimes Sick city left you way behind
He wants to cry until the stars in his eyes are really dead (He cries until the stars in his eyes are dead) He wants to cry until the stars in his eyes are really dead (He cries until the stars in his eyes are dead) (He cries until the stars in his eyes are dead)
He is poised to a very strange degree Wrapped up in emotional imagery Small and senseless on an alter ego trip He wants to alter your every ego trip Nothing special, nothing to see me Nothing doing, nothing with me Nothing much and nothing to do with me
He wants to cry until the stars in his eyes are really dead (He cries until the stars in his eyes are dead) He wants to cry until the stars in his eyes are really dead (He cries until the stars in his eyes are dead) (He cries until the stars in his eyes are dead)
He is awash in competing theories He's glad to be out of the house It's that time of the evening I need to have some feeling I'm all surface tension no pretension Keeps you going, gets you nowhere Present tense in the worst person singular
He wants to cry until the stars in his eyes are really dead (He cries until the stars in his eyes are dead) He wants to cry until the stars in his eyes are really dead (He cries until the stars in his eyes are dead) (He cries until the stars in his eyes are dead)
Because the message is cheap and exhilarating Now he's slobbering on the glass A sexistic boy having a world wide wank He says well that's very punk of me Nothing special, nothing to see me Nothing doing, nothing with me Nothing much and nothing to do with me
He wants to cry until the stars in his eyes are really dead (He cries until the stars in his eyes are dead) He wants to cry until the stars in his eyes are dead
Talking like you're some big news Now you've got a chance to choose Baby there's nothing to lose Yeah, I'm up for the crack
Maybe there's something to see Something about you and me Who knows what it could be But I'm up for the crack Yeah, up for the crack
So many times I've waited Too many times sedated So many times elated Too many times sedated
So many times I've waited Too many times sedated So many times elated Too many times sedated
Crazy, I'm on the attack I've gotta scream for a regular jack And if you see me on your back Yeah, I'm up for the crack
So many times I've waited Too many times sedated So many times elated Too many times sedated
So many times I've waited Too many times sedated So many times elated Too many times sedated
Crazy, I'm on the attack I've gotta scream for a regular jack And if you see me on your back Well, I'm up for the crack
Breaking into something new You know there's one thing I can do And if I said I'd see it through Yeah, I'm up for the crack Up for the crack Up for the crack Yeah, I'm up for the crack Well, up for the crack Yeah, up for the crack Up for the crack
Life's full of disappointments Wonder where the good times went Craving for recognition Rather than accomplishment
Nobody cares what your name is And it's gonna stay that way Everything is off the record Face it, there's nothing to say Life's only temporary And then you fucking die
It's a useless situation Can't you see that I'm between Patience and persuasion Every single time
Mingling amongst the masses That much would be enough You used to be my rival Quit when the going gets rough
I never witnessed the moment When all you ever wanted was me Understand now the penny's dropped Pissed off bunny, not happy Don't want to think about it It makes me fucking mad
It's a useless situation Can't you see that I'm between Patience and persuasion Every single time
