We need a new broom
To sweep it all clean We need a beat boom We need a new scheme Break all the deadlocks And spill all the beer Mr Ditko was right Mr A so near Break out the paints and the brushes And spill out your hearts No amount of soft soap Can ever give you a fresh start We are walking on a tight rope We can slip beyond religion The answer's in your cranium And not on independent television |

When your love's flown out the window,
And the pain comes through the door. Once again you've missed the boat, And you're stranded on the shore. And you find out that what you had, Was never yours at all, Friends and lovers that you knew so well, Will never take your calls. So, You blame the weather, oh-oh, Blame the weather, oh-oh, Blame the weather, oh-oh Can't you see you're in your prime? You're turning creases into lines. If you play the game You've got to be prepared to take a knock, You get put down so many times, But you keep on getting up. So put your tears away, And don't forget to worry is a crime, Nothing bears thinking about too much, You'll be old before your time. So, You blame the weather, oh-oh, Blame the weather, oh-oh, Blame the weather, oh-oh Can't you see you're in your prime? You're turning creases into lines. The pool of tears you left to drown in, The helping hands that never came, The years you lost out to another, All up in flames So, You blame the weather, oh-oh, Blame the weather, oh-oh, Blame the weather, oh-oh Can't you see you're in your prime? You're turning creases into lines. |

Man acting like a farmer,
And he's treating the woman like a poor cow. He got to treat you better from now. But man is just a baby, And he's needing your milk of kindness I vow, To drink as much as you will allow. All the way through history, Man machine, no mystery. All the way through history, Girl have the brain to act just like the weaker sex. Down in the cockpit, Man need the woman to pull him right out of it. Down in the cockpit, Man need the woman to pull him right out of it. Queen wants the castle back from the rascal Queen wants the castle Now! The girl tribe are growing up, And filling the world full with a new soul, To get so far they paid a high toll. Try not to make, The same mistakes, As man has made or you'll fall in that hole, And you will see us changing our role. Oh! Look what is this creature down in that hole? Some say they were called men. |

Yes, it's true
I want that apple, just like William Tell, No more floor gazing, no more head down the well. I'm feeling extrovert. I should be shaking the stars instead of hugging the dirt. I swear! I'm really burning, fit to boil up the sea, Human volcano at a zillion degrees. I'm feeling extrovert. Instead of quiet and shy I'm really dying to fly. I feel like someone else, Yes I do, yes I do, yes I do. I feel like someone else, I feel new, not so blue. I feel, Extrovert. No hidden message, nothing political, You needn't listen, I just wanted to show, I'm feeling extrovert. I am the lion who's roaring not the mouse that gets hurt. I feel like someone else, Yes I do, yes I do, yes I do. I feel like someone else, I feel new, not so blue. I feel. My trumpet plays for you, I'm gonna blow it now. |

Have you got Miss Fortune?
She's the daughter of rich parents, All she does is cry. One four-letter word is all she wants, but you can't buy love, So there's no supply. Will you take young Master Charge? The boy who's living well, beyond his father's means. See his mother kill herself with work, To keep her dandy, In the latest jeans. (Happy families.) Happy families is a kid's game. Happy families is your main aim. It starts out with a dealing in the middle of the night, And ends up with a full house if you play your cards out right. Mum says Dad is cheating, You should see the grown-ups fight, For... Happy families, The game that's sure to please. Have you got young Master Race? The bigot son who, like his dad, is fueled with fear. Not so much a son more of a stormtrooper, To burn the books, When Dad's not here. Happy families is a kid's game. Happy families is your main aim. You start out with your first cub and you think that life's a song. You'll end up with a wolfpack if you lay your cards out wrong. Dad says Mom is cheating, You can see the children long, For... Happy families, The game that's sure to please. Have you got Miss Carriage?, She's the girl who wants a baby, That she cannot find. Strange, the ones who want to win the race are, usually the ones, Who fall behind. |

Since your hammer struck my heart, This world, a hell of trees and grass. All is wrong like north gone south, There's a bad taste in my mouth. Everything was stars, 'Til you had a notion to leave, Beauty marks turned to scars, Bet you had a laugh up your sleeve. Congratulations love, love, love, love. You made a fool of me and physics. Heaven is paved with broken glass, Since your hammer struck my heart, This world, a hell of trees and grass. All is wrong like north gone south, There's a bad taste in my mouth.

Because I'm dead beat, I'm respirating, Two (souls / soles) of the (ape here) Gives us sleepyheads, sleepyheads, The road ahead it takes us to our bed, Sleepyheads, sleepyheads, Our minds they race but our bodies are dead. Just like looking for footprints Looking for footprints The lights are twisted, Each one is misted, To far and counting, Head nod in twenty. Gives us sleepyheads, sleepyheads, The road ahead it takes us to our bed, Sleepyheads, sleepyheads, Our minds they race but our bodies are dead. |

From pools of xylophone clear
From caves of memory I saw the children at heart That we once used to be Borne on foaming seahorse herd Compose with trumpeting shell From lines across their hands A song as new as new moon As old as all the sands Shrank to stagnant from Atlantic wild Lost that child 'til mermaid Smiled Summoned by drum rolling surf As laughing fish compel The young boy woken in me By clanging diving bell Breakers pillow fight the shore She wriggles free in the tide I'm locked in adult land Back in the mirror she slides Waving with comb in hand I was lucky to remain beguiled Grown to child since mermaid Smiled |

Really love the things you do, Even when I was just eight years. Officer Blue, Is it true what they say? That when you work you're still at play. Oh Officer Blue, I really love the things you do. It's magical, People in a human zoo. Officer Blue, Cast a shadow on the wall, But by torchlight even mice look tall. Officer Blue, In a blaze of uniform, And your stripes and badges to conform.

Keep the doggie in her kennel, Mustn't let her see the world. Oh, no! Don't treat her like that. Oh, no! Don't treat her like that. Living under Mum and Daddy, Carry hope just like a caddie, Mustn't let them see you're killed. Shout it clear for all to hear, You won't shoot this bird down. Shout it clear for all to hear, We're going to take this town. Turn a deaf ear to the orders, Keep them as your perfect daughters, Mustn't let them know their minds. Turning on to only music, Breaking from their childhood attic, Mustn't let them open the blinds. It's time she stopped being your ornament, It's time she put that in the past for permanent. You can't hold her if she wants to roam around, You can't hold her dream and keep it gagged and bound.

Gone are the days,
When hate filled my heart, I feel now I am a happy man, I laugh now at values that I had. All through my youth, I was shouting and no one would hear. Blind to the ways, Of the people who now I hold dear. It's loud and clear. The world is full of angry young men, Chip on the shoulder, An ideal in their head. The world is full of angry young men, Who think life owes them something, But you only get out what goes in. There was a time, When I fought the worldm I see now, It was just an actors stage. I see clear, The colours through the haze. As time goes on, Your opinion will change like the weather. Things that you said, Now seem small, They just don't seem to matter, I learned for the better. The world is full of angry young men, Chip on the shoulder, And an ideal in their head. The world is full of angry young men, Who think life owes them something, But you only get out what goes in. There was a time I was lost in the dark, I ran a race I didn't know where to start. Now I've changed my ways, Seeing better days, I'm turning my world upside down. The world is full of angry young men, Chip on the shoulder, And an ideal in their head. The world is full of angry young men, Who think life owes them something, But you only get out what goes in. Angry young men, What you put in is what you get out. |

I pray you can make it better down here.

I feel that I should be heard loud and clear. We all need a big reduction in amount of tears and all the people that you made in your image, see them fighting in the street 'cause they can't make opinions meet about God, I can't believe in you Did you make disease, and the diamond blue? Did you make mankind after we made you? And the devil too! , don't know if you noticed, but... your name is on a lot of quotes in this book, and us crazy humans wrote it, you should take a look, and all the people that you made in your image still believing that junk is true. Well I know it ain't, and so do you, dear God, I can't believe in I don't believe in I won't believe in heaven and hell. No saints, no sinners, no devil as well. No pearly gates, no thorny crown. You're always letting us humans down. The wars you bring, the babes you drown. Those lost at sea and never found, and it's the same the whole world 'round. The hurt I see helps to compound that Father, Son and Holy Ghost is just somebody's unholy hoax, and if you're up there you'd perceive that my heart's here upon my sleeve. If there's one thing I don't believe in it's you.... |

Funk pop a roll beats up my soul
Oozing like napalm from the speakers and grill Of your radio Into the mouths of babes And across the backs of its willing slaves Funk pop a roll consumes you whole Gulping in your opium so copiously from a disco Everything you eat is waste But swallowing is easy when it has no taste They can fix you rabbits up With your musical feed They can fix you rabbits up Big money selling you stuff that you do not need Funk pop a roll for fish in shoals Music by the yard for the children they keep Like poseable dolls The young to them are mistakes Who only want bread but they're force-fed cake Funk pop a roll the only goal The music business is a hammer to keep You pegs in your holes But please don't listen to me I've already been poisoned by this industry! Funk pop a roll beats up my soul |

Oh heli Oh heli
I'm crouching here with a telescope in hand Looking across our lego land I really think it's about time that she came down She a laughing giggly whirlybird She got to be obscene to be obheard I really think its about time that she came down And I object to all the air male that she pick up the air male that she pick up the air male that she pick up When she's up there twirling round Just like a helicopter - copter She's landing on the town It's about time that I stopped her - stopped her When she's up there twirling round Just like a helicopter - copter Oh heli - Oh heli Now she's away from convent she's gone wild Grown from a nice young lady to a child I really think its about time that she came down She a laughing giggly whirlybird She got to be obscene to be obheard I really think it's about time that she came down |

So she can't hear what's going on No she can't hear what's going on In the outside world In the outside world In the outside Bad black and white men Standing in their pigpen Selling guns to simpletons To shoot 'em in the abdomen And she's not interested in that And she's not interested in that She has six swans singing in her sauna Outside - world - outside She has eleven lions laughing at her lakeside So she can't hear what's going on No she can't hear what's going on In the outside world In the outside world In the outside Bad brown and yellow men Splitting on their fellow men Drape her in a newspaper And stab her with a poison pen She's not interested in that She's not interested in that She has eleven lions laughing at her lakeside Outside - world - outside You can keep your animals All the noise and the din Just make a little space for me I'm coming in |

Around on my feet now You make me go dizzy I'm weak at the knees I feel like I'm walking Round ten feet tall Well you say I'm faking And I say don't worry The way that I bubble There's something in the make I feel like I'm walking Round ten feet tall Right, the chemistry is right This boy has reached his height The feeling just goes on and on... From strength to strength I'm ten feet long... I feel like I'm walking Round ten feet tall |

Kiss your aunt on the cheek Don't talk back, now run along It's gone eight, say goodnight That's the way that it's done Boy and girl, girl and boy This is how you do it and Who am I to reason why Wear a shirt, wear a tie You look smart in a suit Use your fork in the left Straighten up shoulders back This is the way that it's done |

Do something for me, boys
If I should die at sea, boys Write a little note, boys Set it off afloat, saying Bless you, bless you, all of you pretty girls Village and city girls by the quayside Bless you, bless you, all of you pretty girls Watching and waiting by the sea Bless you, bless you, all of you pretty girls Quiet or witty girls by the quayside Bless you, bless you, all of you pretty girls Watching and waiting by the sea I think about your pale arms waving When I see the caps upon the green And the rocking roller-coaster ocean Think about you every night when I'm fathoms asleep And in my dreams We are rocking in a similar motion I think about the salt sea rolling Down in pearly tears upon your cheeks Just like the day the harbour pulled away I think about your warm white sheets unfolding The more I have to drink The more that I can think to say |

Are you receiving me?
You are deceiving me I know, see I know When we're out walking Your mouth ain't where it's supposed to do the talking When we're in kissing Your lips are missing, are they out on loan to someone else Are you listening? I put it in a letter, what could be better? I put it in a note, one night I wrote I put it in a telegram, just like the son of Sam Babe there's something missing Your TV's just hissing |

, hope you got the letter, and...
I pray you can make it better down here. I don't mean a big reduction in the price of beer but all the people that you made in your image, see them starving on their feet 'cause they don't get enough to eat from God, I can't believe in you Dear God, sorry to disturb you, but... I feel that I should be heard loud and clear. We all need a big reduction in amount of tears and all the people that you made in your image, see them fighting in the street 'cause they can't make opinions meet about God, I can't believe in you Did you make disease, and the diamond blue? Did you make mankind after we made you? And the devil too! , don't know if you noticed, but... your name is on a lot of quotes in this book, and us crazy humans wrote it, you should take a look, and all the people that you made in your image still believing that junk is true. Well I know it ain't, and so do you, dear God, I can't believe in I don't believe in I won't believe in heaven and hell. No saints, no sinners, no devil as well. No pearly gates, no thorny crown. You're always letting us humans down. The wars you bring, the babes you drown. Those lost at sea and never found, and it's the same the whole world 'round. The hurt I see helps to compound that Father, Son and Holy Ghost is just somebody's unholy hoax, and if you're up there you'd perceive that my heart's here upon my sleeve. If there's one thing I don't believe in it's you.... |
