Golden brown, texture like sun
Lays me down, with my mind she runs Throughout the night No need to fight Never a frown, with golden brown Every time just like the last On her ship tied to the mast To distant lands Takes both my hands Never a frown with golden brown Golden brown, finer temptress Through the ages she's heading west From far away Stays for a day Never a frown with golden brown (instrumental) Never a frown (Never a frown) With golden brown (With golden brown) Never a frown (Never a frown) With golden brown (With golden brown) Never a frown (Never a frown) With golden brown (With golden brown) Never a frown (Never a frown) With golden brown (With golden brown |

Woke up on a good day
And the world was wonderful A midnight summer dream had me in its spell I dreamt about an old man Sat and watched the rain all night He couldn't sleep a wink as all the drops fell He told me of the beauty Hidden in our foreheads He told me of the ugliness We show instead And when we put a foot wrong do we learn From all the pain A midnight summer dream as he watched the rain Then at midnight he poured another drink And bent my ear After midnight we sat up half the night Or maybe more And he began to tell me what it was all for I woke up in an armchair He had gone I don't know where Left me there to sit and look at the rain Don't remember much at all But his words were echoing A midnight summer dream and then wake again Maybe I'll never find him Maybe he's gone forever Maybe I'll have to sit here Watching the weather One thing's pretty certain helped me Make it in the night Showed me somewhere else between wrong and right And at midnight if you can't sleep Then I can bend your ear After midnight we'll sit up half the night Or maybe more And I'll begin to tell you what it is all for Wake up on a good day And the world feels wonderful Midnight summer dream has me in its spell. |

I knew she was a feline
She moved with ease and grace Her green eyes they held mystery No emotion on her face She speaks her lips are kissing The air around her face I don't always understand her But I love her air and grace The European female she is here The European female's here We'll be together for a thousnd years And do you really fear That you might fall I saw her in the Strasse And in the Rue as well Pursued her in the high street She had me in her spell |

Your streets were paved with love
Your skies were blue Goodbye Toulouse I walked your streets in fear I washed your streets with tears Toulouse Goodbye Toulouse Your cafes tell the tale Of saddened millionaires Toulouse A million dreams I've had A million lies I've told Toulouse Goodbye Toulouse Paula looked down on me From her high balcony Toulouse I will return some day So you can hear me say Farewell Goodbye Toulouse Goodbye Toulouse Goodbye Toulouse |

Big girl in the red dress
She's just trying to impress us And she's got the barley fever But she doesn't make a sound She's just hanging around She's just hanging around Down the court road early With the Hustlers big and burly There's a million of 'em selling And the buyers can be found They're just hanging around They're just hanging around [CHORUS:] Christ he told his mother Christ he told her not to bother Cos he's alright in the city Cos he's high above the ground He's just hanging around (hanging around) He's just hanging around (hanging around) He's just hanging around (hanging around) He's just hanging around (hanging around) One of 'em comes over Got a monkey on his shoulder And the monkey's getting grinner But his eyes are on the ground He's just hanging around He's just hanging around I'm moving to a coleheme With the leather all around me And the sweat is getting steamy But their eyes are on the ground They're just hanging around They're just hanging around [CHORUS 2x] He's just hanging around (hanging around) He's just hanging around |

Little lady
With Dingwall's bullshit You're so stupid Foetid brainwaves Little lady What really happens When you see mirrors You get the shivers Ah! Making love to The Mersey Tunnel With a sausage, have you ever been to Liverpool? Please don't talk much It burns my ears Tonight you've talked for a thousand years Plastic's real when you're real sick Plastic's real when you're real sick Plastic's real when you're real sick Plastic's real when you're real sick Plastic's real when you're real sick Plastic's real when you're real sick Plastic's real when you're real sick Plastic's real when you're real sick Tell me what you've got to look so pleased about Tell me what you've got to look so pleased about Oh London Lady Why did you lay me? Your head is crowded With the names you've hounded The lines around your Eyes they show me You realize the party's over London Lady Party's over London Lady Tell me what you've got to look so pleased about Tell me what you've got to look so pleased about ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By HUGH CORNWELL, DAVID GREENFIELD, BRIAN DUFFY, JEAN JACQUES BURNEL <i>Lyrics © Universal Music Publishing Group</i> |

Well there goes a girl and a half She's got me going up and down She's got me going up and down Walking on the beaches looking at the peaches Well I got the notion girl that you got some suntan lotion in that bottle of yours Spread it all over my peelin' skin baby That feels real good All this skirt lappin' up the sun Lap me up Why don't you come on and Lap me up Walking on the beaches looking at the peaches Well there goes another one just lying down on the sand dunes I'd better go take a swim and see if I can cool down a little bit Cause you and me woman We got a lotta things on our minds (you know what I mean) Walking on the beaches looking at the peaches Will you just take a look over there (where?) There Is she tryin' to get outta that clitares? Liberation for women That's what I preach Preacher man Walking on the beaches looking at the peaches Oh shit! There goes the charabang Looks like I'm gonna be stuck here the whole summer Well what a bummer I can think of a lot worse places to be Like down in the streets Or down in the sewer Or even on the end of a skewer |

Someday I'm going to smack your face Somebody's going to call your bluff Somebody's going to treat you rough Sometimes there is only one way out I've got to fight Sometimes I get to feel so mean Sometimes I get to feel so mean Sometimes you look like you're too clean Sometimes I see the in-between Sometimes only one way I've got to fight You're way past your station Beat you honey till you drop You're way past your station It's useless asking you to stop I got morbid fascination Beat you honey till you drop Sometimes you're going to get some stick Sometimes you're going to get some stick Somebody's standing in our way Somebody's gonna have to pay Sometimes there is only one way I've got to fight |

I could have read
A poem called Ozymandias To her instead I lived for the moment It was a futile Gesture anyway I was here And she was here And being broad Of mind and hips We did the only Thing possible I guess I shouldn't have strangled her to death But I had to go to work and she had laced my coffee with acid Normally I wouldn't have minded But I'm allergic to sulphuric acid Besides she had acne And if you've got acne well I apologise for disliking it instensely. But it's understandble that ugly people have got complexes I mean it seems to me that ugly people don't have a chance It's only the children or the fucking wealthy who tend to be good looking An ugly fart Attracks a good looking Chick, if he's got money An ugly fart Attracks a good looking Chick if he's got money An ugly fart Attracks a good looking Chick If he's got money It's different for Jews somehow I'd like to see A passionate Film between The two ugliest People in the world. When I say ugly I don't mean rough looking I mean hideous Don't tell me that Aesthetics are Subjective, you Just know the truth When you see it Whatever it is Muscle Power, muscle Power, muscle Power, muscle Power |

Down in the sewer
Picking up quite a lot of empty coca cola cans and there sure are a lot of them around here How did I get down here ? Well it's a long story. I should have stayed down home out on the farm and kept my tootsies warm instead of freezing them off down here There's lots of rats down here You can see the whites of their eyes They got sharp teeth Deep breath And lots of diseases People say you shouldn't stay down here too long Lose your sense of light and dark Lose your sense of smell I tell you what I'm gonna do Gonna make love to a water rat or two and breed a family they'll be called the survivors You know why ? No They're gonna survive I'll see you in the sewer darling And don't be late I'll see you in the sewer I'll see you in the sewer, the sewer, the sewer I'll see you in the sewer I'll see you in the sewer I'll see you in the sewer I'll see you in the sewer I'll see you in the sewer I'll see you in the sewer ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By HUGH CORNWELL, DAVID GREENFIELD, BRIAN DUFFY, JEAN JACQUES BURNEL <i>Lyrics © Universal Music Publishing Group</i> |

They woke to grey English morning
And to a strange honeymoon The girl who gave him all her love And the man who said it still wouldn't do His parents always worked hard Never went to bed late nd though they were God's own people They're still the ones he loves to hate He never wanted to Suffer this fate All the girls have fallen for The man they love to hate The city is an animal It snores and by day it roars And though he loved to hate it He couldn't live without it's flaws With pastel curtains moaning At a thousand harsh words - then hush The girl she wanted to leave Because she loved the man too much He never wanted to Suffer this fate All the girls have fallen for The man they love to hate His father was a fighter And he practised on his son His mother was just some furniture Who'd lost the will to run The girl she wrote him a farewell note And though he probably didn'y care too much The girl she finally left him Because she loved the man too much |

Find me a new direction You never realised the things they said We'll never realise until we're dead The ebony embittered souls of children We'll seek another way before too long But will you stop my wind before I'm gone And when you find me all alone Your world has never been my own And when you find me And when you find me all alone Your world has never been my own My friend you're black and when you fly you're wild I am white sometimes I behave just like a child The northern seas are cold but they're our own We'll sail your southern seas before too long When I was a viking My friend he was the raven |

No one heard and laughed as though It twas some product of mad man's minds Not clear enough to cure the blind And in all the corners of the globe They'll shield their eyes from shining robes Defying science all the laws The like of them not seen before Their gifts much worse than the three kings Rewriting future, changing thoughts And all the battles that we fought Are these the devil, are they four |

From way back when, She sucked her thumb and she held her head for the man she didn't ken A Nip in Nippon napped a nod and knew a new nomad Near the nearside window of his Mitsubishi His kid was scared he said he thought it was something new Just like nothing on earth Just like nothing on earth Just like nothing on earth (Just like nothing on earth) (Just like nothing on earth) Just ... like ... nothing ... on ... earth On ... earth Just like nothing on earth Just like nothing on earth Just like nothing on earth (Just like nothing on, just like nothing on earth) A man on the main motor mile mesmerised much monkey magic Meandering piecemeal You know UFOs utilise euphoric united ecstatic fantastic Traumatic burning rubber blubber blackout checkout For philandering sons of magic women His brain was blazed and amazed he said he thought it was something new Just like nothing on earth Just like nothing on earth Just like nothing on earth (Just like nothing on earth) (Just like nothing on earth) Just ... like ... nothing ... on ... earth On ... earth Just like nothing on earth Just like nothing on earth It was just like nothing on earth |

After forty years and after forty nights
Making some food for the Israelites Out on a limb inside the Heights Lies a machine out of sight Not much air, breathing still Sleeping mummy who did you kill? They closed your eyes and left you to rust Many prayed for you to turn to dust You need a man from hereabouts To find where you are and dig you out To find where you are and dig you out And just one thing If you're let loose Can you still make cookies in your caboose? Sleeping mummy Sleeping mummy Sleeping mummy who did you kill? And one more thing If you can hear Don't go out again and disappear And one more thing If you can hear Don't go out again and disappear Disappear Disappear Disappear Disappear Disappear Disappear Disappear Disappear Disappear Disappear Disappear Disappear Disappear Disappear |

If ever you had counted
The centuries you threw away And all the lies that you had started And all the chances thrown away If I set sail for new horizons Could I still leave you waiting here I would chase just one set of chances The others would be thrown away Even though we tried time wasn't on our side Then there came the day we threw it all away Thrown away Thrown away Thrown away My winter nights are so much colder Than yours could ever be I wish I hadn't been a traveller I would not have had to go away When all is said and all is over When all is just a memory Our ships will stay for just a moment Leaving false Gods and hypocrisy Even though we tried time wasn't on our side Then there came the day we threw it all away Thrown away Thrown away Thrown away Even though we tried time wasn't on our side Then there came the day we threw it all away Thrown away Thrown away Thrown away Thrown away Thrown away Thrown away Thrown away |

Sits in his room at night
Flits back and forth round the world As he calls in the moonlight Sees all the empires fall Writes it all down with his pen In free hand once for all He sees something to tell but He's got no one to tell The top secret And he means it All day his mind troubles Him as he cures all the ills Of the world with his knife Centuries pass when he dies And the answers get buried And mistook for life He sees something to tell but He's got no one to tell The top secret And he means it All day his mind troubles Him as he cures all the ills Of the world... |

How many times have you woken up and prayed for the rain?
How many times have you seen the papers apportion the blame? Who gets to say, who gets the work and gets to play? I was always told at school, everybody should get the same How many times have you been told, if you don't ask you don't get? How many liars have taken your money, your mother said you shouldn't bet? Who has the fun, is it always the man with the gun? Someone must have told him, if you work too hard you can sweat There's always the sun There's always the sun Always, always, always the sun How many times have the weathermen told you stories that made you laugh? Y'know it's not unlike the politician and the leaders when they do things by half Who gets the job, of pushing the knob That sort of responsibility you draw straws for, if you're mad enough There's always the sun There's always the sun Always, always, always the sun |

Another worker drops his pen He wants to be done And out on the run Away from her curse, he'd swap all his worth To be a man of the earth For 2 or 3 weeks of the year An Easter Bunny brings Christmas cheer He's out of his head and toasting the dead And feeling much worse, he'd swap all his worth To be a man of the earth To swap all his worth To be a man of the earth Words become the man if only he could write a sonnet He'd place his life upon it to be a man of the earth A man of the earth, he'd swap all his worth To be a man of the earth The wife and kids are already there They're polishing his wicker chair it's looking so bleak At the end of the week he'll be needing a nurse He'd swap all his worth to be a man of the earth A man of the earth Words become the man if only he could write a sonnet He'd place his life upon it to be a man of the earth A man of the earth, he'd swap all his worth To be a man of the earth A man of the earth |
