On this glorious occasion...
of the splendid defeat I wanna start from before the beginning Loot wine, "Be mine, and Then let's stay out for the night" Ride via Parkside, semi-perilous lives Jeer the lights in the windows Of all safe and stable homes (But wondering then, Well what could peace of mind be like?) Anyway do you want to hear Our story, or not? As the Fulham Road lights Stretch and invite into the night From a Stevenage overspill We'd kill to live around SW6 - with someone like you Keep thieves' hours With someone like you ...As long as it slides You stalk the house In a low-cut blouse: "Oh Christ, another stifled Friday night!" And the Fulham Road lights Stretch and invite into the night Well, I was fifteen What could I know? When the gulf between All the things I need And the things I receive Is an ancient ocean wide, wild, lost, uncrossed Still I maintain there's nothing wrong with you You do all that you do Because it's all you can do Well, I was fifteen Where could I go? With a soul full of loathing For stinging bureaucracy Making it anything Other than easy For working girls like me With my hands on my head I flop on your bed With a head full of dread For all I've ever said Maladjusted, maladjusted Maladjusted, maladjusted Never to be trusted Oh, never to be trusted There's nothing wrong with you, oh There's nothing wrong with you, oh There's nothing wrong with you, oh There's nothing wrong with you There's nothing wrong with you |

Trouble loves me
Trouble needs me Two things More than you do Or would attempt to So, console me Otherwise, hold me Just when it seems like Everything's evened out And the balance Seems serene Trouble loves me Walks beside me To chide me Not to guide me It's still much more Than you'll do So, console me Otherwise, hold me Just when it seems like Everything's evened out And the balance seems serene See the fool I'll be Still running 'round On the flesh rampage Still running 'round Ready with ready-wit Still running 'round On the flesh rampage - At your age! Go to Soho, oh Go to waste in The wrong arms Still running 'round Trouble loves me Seeks and finds me To charlatanize me Which is only As it should be Oh, please fulfill me Otherwise, kill me Show me a barrel and watch me scrape it Faced with the music, as always I'll face it In the half-light So English, frowning Then at midnight I Can't get you out of my head A disenchanted taste Still running 'round A disenchanted taste Still running 'round |

I need you
Simple words But words which had never been heard By the soul Stoned to death But still living And so he froze where he stood And he looked to the ground And he cried He cried Ride our minds If you must But there’s always a line you don’t cross Time is short Don’t be cruel Oh you don’t know the power In what you’re saying Oh ... And so he froze where he stood And he looked to the ground And he cried He cried ... People where I come from They survive without feelings or blood I never could Was stoned to death But I’m still living So he froze where he stood And he looked to the ground And he cried He cried So he froze where he stood And he looked, and he looked To the ground And he cried He cried |

I came back to my old city
With fierce determination And I couldn't find my way out of the station It's all changed You were there Departing, starting A trek I had once took With that "no-one's gonna stop me when I feel this way" look Apparent, apparent Heir apparent You think it's so easy, I tell you - it isn't But you may change minds with your winning smile I fell down in my old city Such sad degradation So I tried to make my way back to the station You were still there Gleaming and leaving Wide-eyed and awestruck Saying "How can anybody hate me If I love them first off ?" Apparent, apparent Heir apparent You think it's so easy, I tell you - it isn't But you may change minds with your winning smile Heir, heir, heir Heir, heir, heir Heir, heir, heir Heir, heir, heir But you may be OK, I don't know I'll see you back here In a few bruised years Pray I'll see you here I'll see you here I'll see you here Apparent, apparent Heir apparent You say that you want it, I'm sure that you'll get it They'll seduce your heart and then they'll slap your arse Heir, heir, heir Heir, heir, heir Heir, heir, heir Heir, heir, heir |

I know these roads
Each ridge and narrow bridge Each chevron Enticing me on Each warning sign I take in my stride I don't need more ammunition I've got more than I can spend I don't dwell on things I'm missing I'm just pleased With the things I've found I know these roads An old hand understands Above all, I know what's Expected of me now Veering cliffwards I don't need more ammunition I've got more than I can spend I don't dwell on things I'm missing I'm just pleased With the things I've found With the things I've found With the things I've found I've found I've been crying It comes back on these salient days And it stays And it says: "We've never really been away" I don't need more ammunition I've got more than I can spend I don't think of who I'm missing I've got no space and no time In my life, anymore No space or time In my life, anymore For revenge |

The edges are no, no longer parallel

And there is no law of averages here If you feel down Then you're bound to stay down My only mistake is I'm hoping I'm hoping I'm hoping My only mistake is I'm hoping I'm hoping I'm hoping My only mistake is I'm hoping I'm hoping I'm hoping My one mistake is I'm hoping I'm hoping I'm hoping My only mistake is ...

Road blocks and fire
Barb wire upon barb wire This is not your country Armoured cars, corrugated scars Grafitti scrawls: "This is not your country" Home sweet fortress Gunshot - we hate your kind Get back ! This is not your country I need some air And I'm stopped and repeatedly questioned: "Born and raised ?" But this is not my country We're old news All's well Say BBC scum One child shot, but so what ? Laid my son In a box, three feet long And I still don't know why A short walk home becomes a run And I'm scared In my own country We're old news All's well Say BBC scum Everybody's under control Of our surveillance globes We're old news All's well And thirty years could be a thousand And this Peugeot ad Spins round in my head British soldier pointing a gun And I'm only trying to post a letter A short walk home becomes a run And I'm scared, and I'm scared, I am scared Old news All's well BBC scum You've got more than the dead, so zip up your mouth Zip up your mouth Zip up your mouth Zip up your mouth You've got more than the dead, so zip up your mouth Zip up your mouth Zip up your mouth Zip up your mouth You've got more than the dead, so zip up your mouth Zip up your mouth Zip up your mouth Zip up your mouth You've got more than the dead, so zip up your mouth |

Download something
useful, or useless because I'm lying here wide to receive almost anything you'd care to give and I don't get along with myself and I'm not too keen on anyone else Turn on, plug in then just walk away unlock, process then just go and I've never felt quite so alone as I do right now |

Staring in the window of the shop that never opens
Planning my selection from all the treats inside Should I take as I desire - oh shall I, oh shall I ? Or should I hang around to be enticed inside ? I'm trying to explain to myself I can have both I'm trying to explain to the voice inside I can have both I can have both There's nobody around to say no Who've brain-washed the small shy boy inside He doesn't know he can have both Smiling through the window to the one who never serves you I've not been feeling myself tonight Should I take as I feel like it - well shall I, oh shall I ? Or should I wait and hope to be dragged inside ? Oh ... I'm trying to explain to myself I can have both I'm trying to explain to the voice inside I can have both I can have both There's nobody around to say no Who've brain-washed the small shy boy inside He doesn't know he can have both I can have both There's no need to choose Because I can have both There's no need to choose I can have both There's no need to choose Because I can have both There's no need to choose I can have both There's no need to choose |
