I've got a pocket full of pretty green -
I'm gonna put it in the fruit machine - I'm gonna put it in the juke box - It's gonna play all the records in the hit parade - This is the pretty green - this is society You can't do nothing - unless it's in the pocket - oh no - I've got a pocket full of pretty green I'm gonna give it to the man behind the counter He's gonna give me food and water - I'm gonna eat that and look for more - And they didn't teach me that in school - It's something that I learnt on my own - That power is measured by the pound or the fist - It's as clear as this oh - I've got a pocket full of Pretty Green! |

Rainclouds came and stole my thunder -
Left me barren like a desert But a sunshine girl like you It's worth going through - I will never be embarrassed about love again - Tortured winds that blew me over - When I start to think that I'm something special They tell me that I'm not - And they're right and I'm glad and I'm not - I will never be embarrassed about that again. Oh baby I'm dreaming of Monday, Oh baby will I see you again Oh baby I'm dreaming of Monday. |

Picked you up and let you down and
I never said a word - But I'm different now and I'm glad that you're my girl Mess you 'round and upset you I hurt you most of all - But I'm different now and I'm glad that you're my girl Fun lasts for seconds, love lasts for days but But you can't have both - And I'm different now but I'm glad that you're my girl Because I know I done some things That I should never have done But I'm different now and I'm glad that you're my girl |

I was in the pub last night
A mutual friend of ours said He'd seen you in the uniform Yeah the leather belt looks manly The black boots butch But oh what a bastard to get off Promises, promises They offer real solutions But hatred has never won for long You was so open minded But by someone blinded And now your sign says closed. Promises, promises They offer real solutions But hatred has never won for long I think we've lost our perception - I think we've lost sight of the goals we should be working for I think we've lost our reason We stumble blindly and that vision must be restored! I wish that there was something I could do about it I wish that there was some way I could try to fight it Scream and shout it - But something you said set the house ablaze! It is called indoctrination And it happens on all levels But it has nothing to do with equality It has nothing to do with democracy And though it professes to It has nothing to do with humanity It is cold, hard and mechanical. |

It's not important for you to know my name
Nor I to know yours If we communicate for two minutes only It will be enough For knowing that someone in this world Feels as desperate as me And what you give is what you get It doesn't matter if we never meet again What we have said will always remain If we get through for two minutes only It will be a start! For knowing that someone in this life Loves with a passion called hate And what you give is what you get If I never ever see you If I never ever see you If I never ever see you - again And what you give is what you get! |

A police car and a screamin' siren
Pneumatic drill and ripped-up concrete A baby wailing, a stray dog howling The screech of brakes and lamplight blinking That's entertainment That's entertainment A smash of glass and the rumble of boots An electric train and a ripped-up phone booth Paint-splattered walls and the cry of a tomcat Lights going out and a kick in the balls I say that's entertainment That's entertainment La la la la la, ah La la la la la, ah Days of speed and slow-time Mondays Pissing down with rain on a boring Wednesday Watching the news and not eating your tea A freezing cold flat with damp on the walls I say that's entertainment That's entertainment La la la la la La la la la la Waking up at 6 A.M. on a cool warm morning Opening the windows and breathing in petrol An amateur band rehearsing in a nearby yard Watching the telly and thinking 'bout your holidays That's entertainment That's entertainment La la la la la, ah La la la la la, ah La la la la la, ah La la la la la Waking up from bad dreams and smoking cigarettes Cuddling a warm girl and smelling stale perfume A hot summer's day and sticky black tarmac Feeding ducks in the park and wishing you were far away That's entertainment That's entertainment Two lovers kissing masks a scream of midnight Two lovers missing the tranquility of solitude Getting a cab and travelling on buses Reading the grafitti about slashed-seat affairs I say that's entertainment That's entertainment La la la la la, ah La la la la la, ah La la la la la, ah La la la la la La la la la la, ah La la la la la, ah La la la la la, ah La la la la la La la la la la, ah La la la la la, ah La la la la la, ah |

Streets I ran - this whole town -
Backstreets and all - I wanted to leave there. But no matter how fast I ran, my feet were glued, I just couldn't move there. I saw the hate and lots of people I heard my name called above the noise I tried to speak but my tongue was tied Bumped into emptiness and started to cry - oh no I saw the lights and the pretty girls And I thought to myself what a pretty world, But there's something else here that puts me off. And I'm so scared dear, my love comes in frozen packs, Bought in a supermarket. Streets I ran, through wind and rain, Around this place amongst streaming sunshine. Scared I was, sweating now. Feeling of doom, my bowels turned to water. I felt hot breath whisper in my ear, I looked for somewhere to hide but everywhere's closed. I shut my eyes pretend not to be here, This feeling's much to real to ever disappear - oh no. I saw the lights and the pretty girls And I thought to myself what a pretty world, But there's something else here that puts me off. And I'm so scared dear, their hate comes in frozen packs, Bought in a supermarket. And I'm so scared dear - My love comes in frozen packs |

Puts up the closed sign does the man in the corner shop
Serves his last then he says goodbye to him He knows it is a hard life But its nice to be your own boss really Walks off home does the last customer He is jealous of the man in the corner shop He is sick of working at the factory Says it must be nice to be your own boss (really) Sells cigars to the boss from the factory He is jealous is the man in the corner shop He is sick of struggling so hard Says it might be nice to own a factory Go to church do the people from the area All shapes and classes sit and pray together For here they are all one For God created all men equal |

Your twisted cynicism - makes me feel sick -
Your open disgust for 'Idealistic naive' You've given up hope you're jaded and ill The trouble is your thoughts a catching disease Ooh - you need to get away - Ooh - you need a change of pace - Because you're all dried up and you don't believe You reckon I'm dreaming when I say I still feel real You say you work for yourself and its the only way But I look at you talking and to me you just scrape away - What makes once young minds get in this state, Is it age or just the social climate You're talking like some fucking hardend MP You're saying power's all! And it's power you NEED! Ooh - you need to get away - Ooh - you need a change of place - Because you've given up on hope - You're emotionless - You've no need for love it's just hate, hate, hate. But I look at you shaking and it is you - who is scraping away You who is scraping away (la puissance c'est tout, c'est la puissance dont tu as besoin) |

Liza Radley - see the girl with long hair
See her creeping across summer lawns at midnight And all the people in the town where we live Say "she's not quite right" She don't fit in with a small town They just can't understand why she doesn't say much But in her darkend room it's for their lives only She cries Liza Radley - see her jump through loneliness Liza Radley - take me when you go And as the people pass by - their heads in the air Haunting with their noise - she recalls a lonely sigh But no matter what they say in her mind She knows their dream of life, they won't ever find Liza Radley - I pledge myself to you alone She'd kiss my face and say "Love means nothing at all" She'd kiss my face and say "Life means nothing at all" |

I sat alone with the dreams of children
Weeping willows and tall dark building, I've caught a fashion from the dreams of children But woke up sweating from this modern nightmare, and I was alone, no one was there I caught a glimpse from the dreams of children I got a feeling of optimism But woke up to a grey and lonely picture The streets below left me feeling dirty, and I was alone, no one was there I was alone, no one was there Something's gonna crack on your dreams tonight... You will crack on your dreams tonight I fell in love with the dreams of children I saw a vision of all the happy days I've caught a fashion from the dreams of children But woke up sweating from this modern nightmare, and I was alone, no one was there I was alone, no one was there Something's gonna crack on your dreams tonight... You will crack on your dreams tonight You will choke on your dreams tonight |
