Why should you try to be much taller than you are
Why do you try to hang a little out so far You say you're right, when you are wrong And though you're weak, you believe you're strong Why should you try to be much taller than you are You are always, telling people you are the best But it's not so, when they put you to the test So come on, let's be fair and square Take what is yours, but please leave my share Why should you try to be much taller than you are O-oh! You will never reach the top like that, my friend And though you think your up, you will fall down, in the end It is time for you to realise And try and be your little size Why should you try to be much taller than you are [x3] |

I met her in a club down in Old Soho
Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like cherry-cola See-o-l-a cola She walked up to me and she asked me to dance I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said, Lola L-o-l-a Lola la-la-la-la Lola Well, I'm not the world's most physical guy But when she squeezed me tight, she nearly broke my spine Oh my Lola L-o-l-a Lola And I'm not dumb but I can't understand Why she walks like a woman and talks like a man Lola L-o-l-a Lola la-la-la-la Lola We drank champagne and danced all night Under electric candlelight She picked me up and sat me on her knee And said, "little boy, won't you come home with me" Well, I'm not the world's most passionate guy But when I looked in her eyes I almost fell for my Lola L-o-l-a Lola la-la-la-la Lola Lola L-o-l-a Lola la-la-la-la Lola I pushed her away I walked to the door I fell to the floor I got down on my knees Then I looked at her and she at me Well, that's the way that I wanted to stay And I always want it to be that way for my Lola Lo-la Lola Girls will be boys and boys will be girls It's a mixed up, muddled up, shooked up world except for Lola Lo-la la-la-la-la Lola Well, I left home just a week ago And I'd never kissed a woman before But Lola smiled and took me by the hand And said little boy I'm gonna make you a man Well, I'm not the world's most masculine man But I know what I am, I'm glad I'm man And so is Lola |

I hear them saying Tomorrow's just another day I hear them saying And it gets better every day I hear them saying Tomorrow's just another day Listened long, tried to take it in All these facts leave me in the swim It's down and down there is no up I think that I've run out of luck.

It's raining again,
I'm hearing its pitter patter down. It's wet in the street Reflecting the lights and splashing feet, Nowhere to go, And nothing I have to do, have to do. It's raining again, I follow the Christmas lights down town. I'm leaving the flow Of people walking all around, Round and round, I hear the sound of rain falling in my ears Washing away the weariness like tears. I can feel my troubles running down, Disappear into the silent sound. Just walking along, My clothes are soaked right through to the skin, I haven't a doubt, that this is what life is all about, The sun and the rain. Scraps of paper(???) washing down the drain. I feel the rain falling on my face I can say there is no better place Than standing up in the falling down In so much rain I could almost drown. It's raining again A crack in the clouds reveals blue skies I've been feeling so low(low) But now everything is on my side The sun and the rain. Walk with me fill my heart again I hear the rain falling in my ears Washing away the weariness like tears. I can feel my troubles running down, Disappear into the silent sound. I feel the rain falling on my face I can say there is no better place Than standing up in the falling down In so much rain I could almost drown. Do de do do de do do do Do de do de do de do do do |

Arlington house, address: no fixed abode An old man in a three-piece suit sits in the road He stares across the water, he sees right through the lock But on and up like outstretched hands His mumbled words, his fumbled words, mock Further down, a photo booth, a million plastic bags And an old woman filling out a million baggage tags But when she gets thrown out, three bags at a time She spies the old chap in the road to share her bags with She has bags of time Surrounded by his past, on a short white line He sits while cars pass either side, takes his time Trying to remember one better day A while ago when people stopped to hear him say Walking round you sometimes hear the sunshine Beating down in time with the rhythm of your shoes Now she has walked enough through rainy town She rests her bag against his and sits down She's trying to remember one better day A while ago when people stopped to hear her say Walking round you sometimes hear the sunshine Beating down in time with the rhythm of your shoes Walking round you sometimes hear the sunshine Beating down in time with the rhythm of your shoes The feeling of arriving when you've nothing left to lose Walking round you sometimes hear the sunshine Beating down in time with the rhythm of your shoes The feeling of arriving when you've nothing left to lose |

Whoa oh
Staggering home everybody sings All the old songs the cockney routines All the old women, all the young men Try changing places then back again Old man in the morning, Young man at night Breakfast full of wisdom Until you hit the lights Knock back the drinks , hitch up your skirt Fall over backwords undo your shirt Everyone shouting what a terrible state Age creeping backwards as it gets late Old man in the morning, Young man at night Breakfast full of wisdom Until you hit the lights Have a quick short, forget about work Have a couple more then you go beserk Who cares about this morning, wise old man The wisdom comes up later and goes down the pan Old man in the morning, Young man at night Breakfast full of wisdom Until you hit the lights Then another round, forget whos turn Waking up to feel your stomach churn Whos in the chair and whos on the floor Incoherants knocking on the door Old man in the morning, Young man at night Breakfast full of wisdom Until you hit the lights Hit the lights |

My girl's mad at me
I didn't wanna go see the film tonight I found it hard to say She thought I'd had enough of her Why can't she see She's lovely to me? But I like to stay in And watch t.v. on my own Every now and then My girl's mad at me Been on the telephoncle for an hour We hardly said a word I tried and tried but I could not be heard Why can't I explain? Why do I feel this pain? 'Cause everything I say She doesn't understand She doesn't realise She takes it all the wrong way My girl's mad at me We argued just the other night I thought we'd got it straight We talked and talked until it was light I thought we'd agreed I thought we'd talked it out Now when I try to speak She says that I don't care She says I'm unaware And now she says I'm weak |

I didnt want to,
Leave you behind, But your clothes werent stepping, Into line. Too much self pity, Not enough nitty griity And just when you were looking pretty Pretty boring, pretty drab, out of date, colors bad, You should know it stays the same. No individuals things ever change. But oif its new, its in the past. Everything goes by so fast. Upstaged by the supporting cast. Dont ask the girlfreind to throw it away, It'll be in fashion by next Friday, Hoping our clothes have something say Take It Away! haha... The in vogue clock goes spinning round Space age fasion lifts off the ground Just accept the new faith Try and look common place Instead of looking out of place But cant you see I'm staying still, that rich little bastards made me Ill, Ill, ILL! |

Reaching up to press my best friend's bell
On my tiptoes Whatever made me climb this side of hell Oh, God only knows Lifting up another catch and slipping through the blind It's... it's so easy Lighting up another match to see what I can find It's... become so easy But after a while You can hear yourself breathe What seems a long long while You can feel yourself sealed Ones second thoughtlessness Nobody's home One's second thoughtlessness One's second thoughtlessness Here up on my own One's second thoughtlessness Sniffing around Hope to get out Smelling a scent That something is up I've seen this song before Is this the house my family lives - yes Ah, I've been here before Yes, I did it because, because Yes, I did it because Yes, I did it because, because Yes, yes, I did it because, because No - because One's second thoughtlessness I am my own One's second thoughtlessness One's second thoughtlessness I stand alone One's second thoughtlessness |

When I get home it's late at night, I'm black and bloody from my life, I haven't time to clean my hands, Cuts will only sting me through my dreams. It's well past midnight as I lie In a semi-conscious state. I dream of people fighting me Without any reason I can see. In the morning I awake, My arms my legs my body aches, The sky outside is wet and grey So begins another weary day. So begins another weary day. After eating I go out, People passing by me shout. I can't stand this agony Why don't they talk to me? In the park I have to rest I lie down and I do my best, The rain is falling on my face I wish I could sink without a trace.

In the earliest days of my shoplifting career,
You could safely say I was filled with fear. It was nail biting work from the very start, But several quick sucesses soon gave me heart. After a while I could pick or nick or steal, Some shirts some trousers and a few LPs. No-one ever stopped me, they didn't seem to care. It sometimes seemed to me that there was no-one there. Then a fine summers day my mates and me, Set off down the westend on our usual spree. Things were as normal for an hour or so, Then my nimble hands were a bit too slow. Two store detectives made a fast approach, One grabbed my jacket (you're nicked!) The other grabbed my throat. So they caught me at last, one said with joy: |

On the banks of the river Nile Here comes the boat only half-afloat Oarsman grins a toothless smile Only just one more to this desolate shore Last boat along the river Nile Doesn't seem to care, no more wind in his hair As he reaches his last half mile The oar snaps in his hand before he reaches dry land But the sound doesn't deafen his smile Just pokes at wet sand with an oar in his hand Floats off down the river Nile Floats off down the river Nile All aboard, night boat to Cairo Night boat to Cairo |

Received a letter just the other day, Don't seem they wanna know you no more, They've laid it down given you their score, Within the first two lines it bluntly read. You're not to come and see us no more, Keep away from our door, Don't come 'round here no more What on earth did you do that for? Our aunt, she don't wanna to know she says, What will the neighbours think they'll think, We don't that's what they'll think, we don't, But I will, 'cause I know they think I don't. Our uncle he don't wanna to know he says, We are a disgrace to the human race he says, How can you show your face, When you're a disgrace to the human race? No committment, you're an embarrassment, Yes, an embarrassment, a living endorsement, The intention that you have booked, Was an intention that was overlooked. They say, stay away, Don't want you home today, Keep away from our door, Don't come 'round here no more. Our dad, don't wanna to know he says, This is a serious matter, Too late to reconsider, No one's gonna wanna know ya ! Our mum, she don't wanna to know,she says, I'm feelin' twice as old, she says, Thought she had a head on her shoulder, 'Cause I'm feelin' twice as older, I'm feelin' twice as older. You're an embarrassment |

Papers in the morning Bowler hat on head Walking to the bus stop He's longing for his bed Waiting with his neighbours In the rush-hour queue Got to get the first bus So much for him to do He's got to hurry got to get his seat Can't miss his place, got to rest his feet Ten more minutes till he gets there The crossword's nearly done It's getting so hard these days Not nearly so much fun His mind wanders to the office His telephone, desk and chair He's been happy with the company They've treated him real fair Think of seven letters begin and end in 'C' Like a big American car but misspelt with a 'D' I wish this bus'd get a move on Driver's taking his time I just don't know I'll be late Oh dear, what will the boss say? Pull yourself together now Don't get in a state Don't you worry, there's no hurry It's a lovely day Could all be going your way Take the doc's advice Let up, enjoy your life Listen to what they say It's not a game they play Never get there at this rate He's caught up in a jam There's a meeting this morning It's just his luck, oh damn His hand dives in his pocket For his handkerchief Pearls of sweat on his bowler His pulse-beat seems so brief Eyes fall on his wrist-watch, the seconds pass real slow Gasping for the hot air but the chest pain it won't go Tried to ask for help But can't seem to speak a word Words are whispered frantically But don't seem to be heard What about the wife and kids? They all depend on me We're so sorry, we told you not to hurry Now it's just too late You've got a certain date We thought we made it clear We all voiced our inner fears We left it up to you There's nothing we can do |

I hear them saying Tomorrow's just another day I hear them saying And it gets better every day I hear them saying Tomorrow's just another day Listened long, tried to take it in All these facts leave me in the swim It's down and down there is no up I think that I've run out of luck.

It's raining again,
I'm hearing its pitter patter down. It's wet in the street Reflecting the lights and splashing feet, Nowhere to go, And nothing I have to do, have to do. It's raining again, I follow the Christmas lights down town. I'm leaving the flow Of people walking all around, Round and round, I hear the sound of rain falling in my ears Washing away the weariness like tears. I can feel my troubles running down, Disappear into the silent sound. Just walking along, My clothes are soaked right through to the skin, I haven't a doubt, that this is what life is all about, The sun and the rain. Scraps of paper(???) washing down the drain. I feel the rain falling on my face I can say there is no better place Than standing up in the falling down In so much rain I could almost drown. It's raining again A crack in the clouds reveals blue skies I've been feeling so low(low) But now everything is on my side The sun and the rain. Walk with me fill my heart again I hear the rain falling in my ears Washing away the weariness like tears. I can feel my troubles running down, Disappear into the silent sound. I feel the rain falling on my face I can say there is no better place Than standing up in the falling down In so much rain I could almost drown. Do de do do de do do do Do de do de do de do do do |

Arlington house, address: no fixed abode An old man in a three-piece suit sits in the road He stares across the water, he sees right through the lock But on and up like outstretched hands His mumbled words, his fumbled words, mock Further down, a photo booth, a million plastic bags And an old woman filling out a million baggage tags But when she gets thrown out, three bags at a time She spies the old chap in the road to share her bags with She has bags of time Surrounded by his past, on a short white line He sits while cars pass either side, takes his time Trying to remember one better day A while ago when people stopped to hear him say Walking round you sometimes hear the sunshine Beating down in time with the rhythm of your shoes Now she has walked enough through rainy town She rests her bag against his and sits down She's trying to remember one better day A while ago when people stopped to hear her say Walking round you sometimes hear the sunshine Beating down in time with the rhythm of your shoes Walking round you sometimes hear the sunshine Beating down in time with the rhythm of your shoes The feeling of arriving when you've nothing left to lose Walking round you sometimes hear the sunshine Beating down in time with the rhythm of your shoes The feeling of arriving when you've nothing left to lose |

An insolent speck of youth
Being taken for a walk So tightly by the ear That he can hardly talk Yesterday's men hang to today To sing in the old-fashioned way It must get better in the long run Has to get better in the long run A metropolitan marathon Has been held today But who you need to catch Will be coming the other way Yesterday's men hang to today To sing in any old way It must get better in the long run Has to get better in the long run Because when you're told to start How far can you go When your race is won And you already know Because when you're told to stop How far will you go When your race is run And you already know Yesterday's men hang to today, To sing in any old way, It must get better in the long run Has to get better in the long run Will it get better in the long run Will we be here in the long run Yesterday's men hang to today, To sing in any old way, It must get better in the long run Has to get better in the long run Will it get better in the long run Will we be here in the long run Do, do, do, hang on in the long run. |

I don't know what to be
It's not so easy to find out later About the necessary knowledge for survival You think you know enough to get you through life But find out too late of chances passed by An early start is not so important But timing is most essential Opportunity gone is gone forever You never know how much it could have been And once gone, gone forever You will find out to your cost A better use can be made of your time And don't think that life is easy You may never get a lucky break They'll put you down, cold and unknown A total failure from womb to grave |

It's just gone noon half past monsoon
On the banks of the river Nile Here comes the boat only half-afloat Oarsman grins a toothless smile Only just one more to this desolate shore Last boat along the river Nile Doesn't seem to care, no more wind in his hair As he reaches his last half mile The oar snaps in his hand before he reaches dry land But the sound doesn't deafen his smile Just pokes at wet sand with an oar in his hand Floats off down the river Nile Floats off down the river Nile All aboard, night boat to Cairo Night boat to Cairo |

Papers in the morning Bowler hat on head Walking to the bus stop He's longing for his bed Waiting with his neighbours In the rush-hour queue Got to get the first bus So much for him to do He's got to hurry got to get his seat Can't miss his place, got to rest his feet Ten more minutes till he gets there The crossword's nearly done It's getting so hard these days Not nearly so much fun His mind wanders to the office His telephone, desk and chair He's been happy with the company They've treated him real fair Think of seven letters begin and end in 'C' Like a big American car but misspelt with a 'D' I wish this bus'd get a move on Driver's taking his time I just don't know I'll be late Oh dear, what will the boss say? Pull yourself together now Don't get in a state Don't you worry, there's no hurry It's a lovely day Could all be going your way Take the doc's advice Let up, enjoy your life Listen to what they say It's not a game they play Never get there at this rate He's caught up in a jam There's a meeting this morning It's just his luck, oh damn His hand dives in his pocket For his handkerchief Pearls of sweat on his bowler His pulse-beat seems so brief Eyes fall on his wrist-watch, the seconds pass real slow Gasping for the hot air but the chest pain it won't go Tried to ask for help But can't seem to speak a word Words are whispered frantically But don't seem to be heard What about the wife and kids? They all depend on me We're so sorry, we told you not to hurry Now it's just too late You've got a certain date We thought we made it clear We all voiced our inner fears We left it up to you There's nothing we can do |

Staggering home, the headlights throw a shadow up and upon
Friends and loved-ones that have done no wrong, But no longer mean anything to me. Oh am I mumbling on, into a crystal glass that echoes a song? The enticement invites you along a path of exterior colour. But come the morning, shivering and contorting, To border on the brink for just another sink - oh take me down, For one more round. Oh, involve me in libation, stick a rock in my foundation, I pick all my relations, put me on probation - oh I'll take you down, For one last round. Oh, Lovestruck, I've fallen for a lamppost, Giving her my utmost, spilling out my deepest feelings. Lovestruck, I've fallen for a lamppost, Giving her my utmost, spilling out my deepest feelings. Now all I want to do is snuggle up to you. A night-cap in the early morning dew. Look, what have I become? Dispensing myself so far and from But gazing out I waved the night boat on, For now it's heaven in deepest Tottenham. Oh, what have I done to deserve this fate? It's all going wrong Even the cab fare has been and gone And now I'm lagging in deepest Tottenham. But come the morning, shivering and contorting, To border on the brink for just another sink - oh take me down, For one more round. Yeah, Lovestruck, I've fallen for a lamppost, Giving her my utmost, spilling out my deepest feelings. Lovestruck, I've fallen for a lamppost, Giving her my utmost, spilling out my deepest feelings. Fight me, fight me, strike me down with lightning, I've given in to fighting. Now all I want to do is get up close to you. A night-cap in the early morning dew. Oh, Lovestruck, I've fallen for a lamppost, Giving her my utmost, spilling out my deepest feelings. Lovestruck, I've fallen for a lamppost, Giving her my utmost, spilling out my deepest feelings. Lovestruck, I've fallen for a lamppost, I'm giving it my utmost, I've fallen for a lamppost, With my deepest feelings. Now all I want to do is snuggle up to you.

Freddie is a man of class We want Freddie for our leader All stand and raise your champagne glass Gentlemen and assassins and ladies of the night I call upon you this evening in the hope of shedding some light I can't go into detail or finger unfounded fools But there are some here amongst us that are not playing to the rules I've rounded up the low-life and local CID Offered a free massage or else the third degree There is no simple solution in this life we lead So make things easy for yourself to the baronage concede We want Freddie for our leader Freddie is a man of class We want Freddie for our leader All stand and raise your champagne glass Peace shall not prevail in Purley came the stark warning today From his hospital bed Drip-Fed Fred vowed he was here to stay "I'll tell you something for nothing", he claimed, "Never in all my days Have I felt so intimidated by the cheap tactics on display" Ahh-ah-ah-ah Ahh-ah-ah-ah We want Freddie for our leader Freddie is a man of class We want Freddie for our leader All stand and raise your champagne glass And approaching the pulpit, the Right Honourable Reverend Greene "We're gathered here this evening to pay our due respects To Drip-Fed Fred who late last night fell out of his prison bed We know the nonce behind it, who slipped the night PD - ooh The word is out now without doubt you will answer to me" Gentlemen and assassins and ladies of the night I call upon you this evening in the hope of shedding new light There is a simple solution, one called honour amongst thieves So we'll take pity on your souls and only cap your knees Ahh-ah-ah-ah Ahh-ah-ah- |

Oh, when you're going to the top
And you have no time to stop Then you have to travel light Yes, you'd better go by night Cos it's not a pretty sight When youre going to the top And you're never going to stop You won't let nobody block Your way to the top And no bodies then may fall Old friends up against the wall Can't let feelings in the way As if you had some anyway Some will have to move aside True intents you'll always hide Wagging tongues may call you snide You may not know who's on your side When you're going to the top When you're going to the top La-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la Still, you've heard it all before I don't want to be a bore So I'll just be on my way Maybe we will meet one day Probably won't have much to say If I see you passing by Cos you're going much too high And you may well never stop Cos you're going to the top La-la-la-la La-la-la-la You could let it go tonight Watch it all fade out of sight There's still some time to mend your ways Don't you know it's love that pays? Oh, yeah Maybe we will meet one day Probably won't have much to say So I'll just say toodle-oo And the best of luck to you When I see you passing by When you're going much too high When you're going to the top When you're going to the top When you're going to the top When you're going to the top Like the stars up in the sky Shining up all night Like a king upon his throne Everything his own Like the stars up in the sky Shining up a |

Elysium
Is everyone chipping at your cordiality? Elysium You stand ice bound to the wind a casualty (Eternity) Elysium Is everyone nagging at your reason to believe? Elysium You stare down from a mound with such hostility Listen to me now wipe your eyes Relax your hand and come inside Lift back your head and swallow your pride Don't be ashamed in me confide Oh, I've seen you pretend The happy go lucky, everything's funky But in the end Your manic obsession turns to depression Elysium Is everyone chipping at your cordiality? Elysium You stand ice bound to the wind a casualty Stand back and watch the bright spark fly To catch a glimpse don't blink an eye The touchpaper wrapped around your soul has been lit Let's go with the flow Heaven I'm in heaven Heaven Elysium (Such a memory holds me) Is everyone tugging at your idea to be free? (Let me be) Elysium Do they cry out for your sensibility? (Eternity) Elysium Is everyone chipping at your cordiality? Elysium You stand ice bound To the wind a casualty [x5] (It's ok I don't mind) [x2] |

I knew you'd come back
We always do Like thieves Returning to the scene of the crime But did they tell you Everything has changed Just everything Oh, everything has changed Just everything It's not Saturday Night Sunday Morning There was something else I meant to say It's not Saturday Night Sunday Morning There was so much more I meant to say to you You know they still like to talk about you But they don't want anything too real So most of the conversation revolves around Things that happened 20 years ago at least They must have told you Everything has changed everything Oh, everything must change everything It's not Saturday Night Sunday Morning There was something else I meant to say It's not Saturday Night Sunday Morning There was so much more I meant to say to you It's not Saturday Night Sunday Morning There was something else I meant to say It's not Saturday Night Sunday Morning There was so much more I meant to say to you oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh |

I know there's time,
I know there's time, I know there's time, For us, I know there's time If I didn't care, Would it be the same? If I didn't care, Would I feel this way? If this isn't love, Then why do I thril? And what makes my head go round and round, While my heart stands still? If I didn't care, Would it be the same? Would my every prair Begin and end with just your name? And could I be sure that this is love Beyond compare? Would all this be true If I didn't care for you? If I didn't care? I know there's time, I know there's time, I know there's time, for us, I know there's time If I didn't care, More than words can say, If I didn't care, Would I feel this way? And if this isn't love, Then why do I thrill? And what makes my head go round and round, While my heart stands still? I know there's time, I know there's time, I know there's time, for us, I know there's time I know there's time, I know there's time, I know there's time, for us, I know there's time I know there's time, I know there's time, I know there's time, for us, I know there's time |

She'd gotten used to the idle life
Following the sun was her full-time occupation A lesson to us all Or at least for the education Oh, but look at her now Fox-trotting the globe With her head in the clouds I haven't got no money To keep this affair afloat And I don't think that it's funny It looks like I've sunk my boat But she'll keep me dangling on and on and on Well, furs and pearls I'm trapped in your pocket Where six-foot toys stumble upon it Your high-class ways have seen better days But to me you'll always be Complicating, infatuating I haven't got no money To keep this affair afloat And I don't think that it's funny Looks like I've sunk my boat I haven't got no money To keep this affair afloat And I don't think that it's funny It looks like I've sunk myboat Royal Britannia The jet-set dreams on and on Into another sun-drenched sin where Kings and queens And jesters preen You know, you know I haven't got no money To keep this affair afloat And I don't think that it's funny It looks like I've sunk my boat I haven't got no money To keep this affair afloat And I don't think that it's funny It looks like I've sunk my boat |

My girl's mad at me
I didn't wanna go see the film tonight I found it hard to say She thought I'd had enough of her Why can't she see She's lovely to me? But I like to stay in And watch t.v. on my own Every now and then My girl's mad at me Been on the telephoncle for an hour We hardly said a word I tried and tried but I could not be heard Why can't I explain? Why do I feel this pain? 'Cause everything I say She doesn't understand She doesn't realise She takes it all the wrong way My girl's mad at me We argued just the other night I thought we'd got it straight We talked and talked until it was light I thought we'd agreed I thought we'd talked it out Now when I try to speak She says that I don't care She says I'm unaware And now she says I'm weak |

It's just gone noon half past monsoon
On the banks of the river Nile Here comes the boat only half-afloat Oarsman grins a toothless smile Only just one more to this desolate shore Last boat along the river Nile Doesn't seem to care, no more wind in his hair As he reaches his last half mile The oar snaps in his hand before he reaches dry land But the sound doesn't deafen his smile Just pokes at wet sand with an oar in his hand Floats off down the river Nile Floats off down the river Nile All aboard, night boat to Cairo Night boat to Cairo |
