Hello, hello, hello (ha, ha, ha)
You never listen to a word that I said You only seen me For the clothes that I wear Or did the interest go so much deeper It must have been The colour of my hair The Public Image What you wanted was never made clear Behind the image was ignorance and fear You hide behind this public machine Still follow same old scheme Public Image Two sides to every story Somebody had to stop me I'm not the same as when I began I will not be treated as property Public Image Two sides to every story Somebody had to stop me I'm not the same as when I began It's not a game of monopoly Public image Public image You got what you wanted The public image belongs to me It's my entrance My own creation My grand finale My goodbye Public image Goodbye |

CHORUS
Better days will never be Better days will never be Better days will never be Now what does this mean It means we get the best scenes When politics talk, the ends of power meet Nice to be wanted, safe and protected The ends of pwoer, when politics talk CHORUS Better days will never be Home sweet home, home, home Now let's talk politics Every dog has its day For me (for me) I don't believe (I don't believe in anything) Better days ahead (one more war) Will never be (I do believe no more) I don't believe in (no long goodbye) Anything (nuclear day) CHORUS Spare no man, match bomb for bomb War, all is fair in war When the ground is soft with hot blood Spare no man Better days will never be (match bomb for bomb) A scorched earth (flatten the earth, this home sweet home) No charity (burn everything, from lust to dust) No weak pity (no charity, no weak pity) >From lust to dust (all is fair in war) Home sweet home |

Slow motion
Slow motion Getting rid of the albatross Sowing seeds of discontent I know you very well You are unbearable I've seen you up far too close Getting rid of the albatross Frying rear blinds If I wanted Should I really If I run away Run away Riding along on the crest of the wave Getting rid of the albatross Another will not forget I know you very well Run away Run away Should I I run away Getting rid of the albatross I know you very well You are unbearable I see you far too close If I wanted to If Run away Run away I ran away I ran away |

This is not a love song
This is not a love song This is not a love song This is not a love song This is not a love song This is not a love song This is not a love song Happy to have, not to have not Big business is very wise I'm crossing over into E-enter-prize Love song Love song Love song Love song I'm going over to the other side I'm happy to have not to have not Big business is very wise I'm inside free enterprise I'm adaptable I'm adaptable I'm adaptable and I like my new role I'm getting better and better And I have a new goal I'm changing my ways where money applies This is not a love song This is not a love song This is not a love song This is not a love song This is not a love song Now are you ready to grab the candle That tunnel vision - not television Behind the curtain - out of the cupboard You take the first train - into the big world Now will I find you - now will you be there Not a love song (echo) Not a love song Not a love song ... |

Now in the summer
I could be happy or in distress Depending on the company On the veranda Talk of the future or reminisce Behind the dialogue We're in a mess Whatever I intended I sent you flowers You wanted chocolates instead The flowers of romance The flowers of romance I've got binoculars On top of Box Hill I could be Nero Fly the eagle Start all over again I can't depend on these so-called friends It's a pity you need to defend I'll take the furniture Start all over again |

Seeing in your eyes
Words can never say the way Told me in your eyes Final in a fade Never no more hope away Final in a fade Seeing in your eyes Seeing in your eyes Never really know Never realize Silence in your eyes Silence in your eyes Never really know Till its gone away Never realize The silence in your eyes Seen it in your eyes Seen it in your eyes Never no more hope away Final in a fade Watch her slowly die Saw it in her eyes Choking on a bed Flowers rotting dead seen it in her eyes Ending in a day Silence was a way Seeing in your eyes Seeing in your eyes Seeing in your eyes I'm seeing through my eyes Words cannot express Words cannot express Words cannot exp...... |

And I-I won't be stupid
State the obvious-pleasant platitudes Bad policies-mega magnitude Magnificent And I-would not be surprises If next door's roses died And I-would not be overcome with grief When, in the shadow's cast The trees lose all their leaves Two cheeks to the wind-three sheets to set sail Bow in the storm-we'll die in the water My armada-three sheets to set sail Bow in the storm-we'll die in the water Armada And a head of wax-should not walk in the sun Pride goes before the fall-let's make feathers fly Two cheeks to the wind-three sheets to set sail Bow in the storm-we'll die on the water My armada-led to the slaughter My armada-nothing but murder To conquer and blunder Led to the slaughter Nothing but murder My armada |

Black rubber bag
Black rubber bag Black rubber bag Black rubber bag Black rubber bag Black rubber bag (repeat) Sun burns in a perfect day Now smell the air of this perfect sky Silent sweet A precious place Desirable shade Beneath the pinion pine Drawn by the beauty Of my own terror Close to the edge Swallow the void Vultures fly The Arizona sky These tell-tale signs Bloated body like a TV dinner Let the death move in And let the feast begin Flock of flowers Desert develops fever-blister After the rain Black rubber bag Black rubber bag Black rubber bag Black rubber bag Black rubber bag Black rubber bag (repeat) Flock of flowers Desert develops fever-blister After the rain Black rubber bag Black rubber bag Black rubber bag Black rubber bag Black rubber bag Black rubber bag (repeat) |

Voice moaning in a speaker
Never really get too close Only a gimmick, pointed fingers Never more serious sight Wouldn't waste the effort on entertainment Out of control, mob running wild All you ever get is all you steal Side of London that the tourists never see Angle ambience Chant Don't know why I bother There's nothing in it for me The more I see the less I get The likes of you and me are an embarrassment Chant It's not important It's not worth a mention in the Guardian Every librarian has its theory Chant chant angle ambience Chant Voice moaning in a speaker Chant |

Stained glass windows keep the cold outside
While the hypocrites hide inside With the lies of statues in their minds Where the Christian religion made them blind Where they hide And prey to the God of a bitch spelled backwards is dog Not for one race, one creed, one world But for money Effective Absurd Do you pray to the Holy Ghost when you suck your host Do you read who's dead in the Irish Post Do you give away the cash you can't afford On bended knees and pray to lord Fat pig priest Sanctimonious smiles He takes the money You take the lies This is religion and Jesus Christ This is religion cheaply priced This is bibles full of libel This is sin in eternal hymn This is what they've done This is your religion The apostles were eleven Now there's a sod in Heaven This is religion There's a liar on the altar The sermon never falter This is religion Your religion |

You make me feel ashamed
At acting attitudes Remember ridicule It should be clear by now clear by now Your words are useless Full of excuses False confidence Someone has used you well Used you well I could be wrong It could be hate As far as I can see Clinging desperately Imagining pretending No personality Dragging on and on and on and on And on and on and on and on I think you're slightly late Slightly late This person's had enough of useless memories Always remember Twisted amenities Could be wrong This person's had enough Of useless memories Always remember Twisted amenities Out of order Out of order It could be worse You're losing all the time I could be wrong Could be worse You're losing all the time I let you stay too long I could be wrong Could be wrong Whatever pass Could never last All in your mind Where it all began You're doing wrong It's not the movies And you're old |
