Their only desire is to die Well, I'm afraid It doesn't make me smile I wish I could laugh But that joke isn't funny anymore It's too close to home And it's too near the bone It's too close to home And it's too near the bone More than you'll ever know ...

off the rails i was and off the rail i was happy to say GET OUT OF MY WAY on the rack i was "easy meat" but a reasonably good buy a reasonably good buy the Piccadilly palare was just a silly slang between me and the boys in my gang "so bona to vada, OH YOU your lovely eek and your lovely riah" we plied an ancient trade where we threw all life's instructions away exchanging lies and digs (my way) well, in a belted coat oh i secretly knew that i hadn't a clue the Piccadilly palare was just a silly slang between me and the boys in my gang exchanging palare you wouldn't understand good songs like you NEVER DO so why do you smile when you think about Earl's Court? but you cry when you think of all the battles you've fought (and lost)? it may all end tomorrow or, it could go on forever (in which case: i'm doomed) it could go on forever.... |

Pashernate love
In any form Whether real or a dream Pashernate love Could make your system erupt Into wild blisters and boils Oh, as for me It still doesn't understand me It wouldn't lay one single finger on me Pashernate love Could make your Grandmother zoom Roller-skating back from the grave Pashernate love Could make your old Daddy feel Like he may have a reason to live Oh, as for me It still doesn't understand me And it wouldn't lay one single finger on me I'm always there It's always elsewhere Whoah, Pashernate love Oh, where are you? Where are you? Where are you? Where are you? Where are you? Where are you? Where are you? Where are you? Where are you? Where are you? Where are you? Where are you? |

Papa Jack
Wants to turn Back the clock And reach out To the kids He once had Who have flown Papa Jack In decline Feels inclined To reach out To the kids He once had Who have flown But there was a time When the kids reached up And Papa Jack just Pushed them away Looking deep In his heart Papa Jack Doesn't like What he sees Or the time On his hands The dying day The chilly sun Papa Jack All alone Sings slow Grieving and low But there was a time When the kids reached up Now you can't always Have it your way Papa Jack |

Always be careful
When you abuse the one you love The hour or the day, no one can tell But one day goodbye will be farewell And you will never see the one you love again You will never see the one you love again I have been thinking, what, with my final brain cell How time grips you, slimming, in it's spell And before you know, goodbye will be farewell And you will never see the one you love again And the smiling children tell you that you smell Well, just look at me A savage Beast with nothing to sell And when I die, I want to go to Hell And that's when goodbye should be farewell One day goodbye will be farewell So grab me while you still can, goodbye |

On this glorious occasion...
of the splendid defeat I wanna start from before the beginning Loot wine, "Be mine, and Then let's stay out for the night" Ride via Parkside, semi-perilous lives Jeer the lights in the windows Of all safe and stable homes (But wondering then, Well what could peace of mind be like?) Anyway do you want to hear Our story, or not? As the Fulham Road lights Stretch and invite into the night From a Stevenage overspill We'd kill to live around SW6 - with someone like you Keep thieves' hours With someone like you ...As long as it slides You stalk the house In a low-cut blouse: "Oh Christ, another stifled Friday night!" And the Fulham Road lights Stretch and invite into the night Well, I was fifteen What could I know? When the gulf between All the things I need And the things I receive Is an ancient ocean wide, wild, lost, uncrossed Still I maintain there's nothing wrong with you You do all that you do Because it's all you can do Well, I was fifteen Where could I go? With a soul full of loathing For stinging bureaucracy Making it anything Other than easy For working girls like me With my hands on my head I flop on your bed With a head full of dread For all I've ever said Maladjusted, maladjusted Maladjusted, maladjusted Never to be trusted Oh, never to be trusted There's nothing wrong with you, oh There's nothing wrong with you, oh There's nothing wrong with you, oh There's nothing wrong with you There's nothing wrong with you |

goodbye house goodbye stairs I was born here I was raised here, and ...I took some stick here love at first sight may sound trite but it's true, you know I could list the details of everything you ever wore or said, or how you stood that day and as we spend the last night on Maudlin Street, I say "goodbye house-forever!" I never stole a happy hour around here Where the world's ugliest boy became what you see here I am - the ugliest man Its the last night on Maudlin Street and truly I do love you oh, truly I do love you When I sleep with that picture of you framed beside my bed oh, it's childish and it's silly but I think it's you in my room by the bed (...yes, I told you it was silly...) and I know I took strange pills but I never meant to hurt you oh truly I love you I came home late one night everyone had gone to bed nobody stays up for you when you have sixteen stitches all around your head the last buss I missed to Maudlin Street so, he drove me home in the Van complaining: "Women only like me for my mind..." don't leave your torch behind power-cuts ahead as we crept through the park but no I cannot steal a pair of jeans off a clothesline for you but you...without clothes oh I could not keep a straight face me - without clothes? well a nation turns its back and gags... I'm packed I am moving house a half-life disappears today every slag waves me on (secretly wishing me gone well, I will be soon oh - I will be soon) There were bad times on Maudlin Street when they took you away in a police car dear Inspector - don't you know? don't you care? don't you know - about Love? Your gran died and your mother died on Maudlin Street in pain and ashamed with never time to say those special things I took the keys from Maudlin Street well, it's only bricks and mortar! and...truly I do love you wherever you are wherever you are |
