The Wolf-Thing of Snape
01:51
|

I know a man
Lives in the woods
He feels guilty
And so he should
Merv is hairy
Merv is strange
Best to keep
Right out of range
He gets his kicks
From robbing graves
His banties are
The best behaved
A silver bullet
Through his head
Is the only way
To make him dead
He is naked
He is evil

She
Is cruel kind of undefined
She
Is colour for the colour-blind
If she knew me
I know she would say
"Let's go to the seaside for the day
And play"
She's
The child-queen of my fantasy
She
Got a lot to say
But not to me
Silence is violence
To this boy
If I could take her home
She would enjoy

Seven Tree Solution
06:53
|

I'm down at the beach
Blue sky is grey
Clouds pass me by
Sighing on their way
[The solution...]
The fish are all sick
The yellow sand is black
The swimmers can't come here
They've got to stay clear
[Solution...]
It makes me feel sad
Our government won't help
The sea-life is dying
The sea birds are crying
[Solution...]
[On our land]
[On our beach]
[In our sink]
[In the air]
[Solution]
[Solution]
[In our baths]
[In our town]
[In our cities]
[In our world]
[Solution]
[Solution]
[Solution]
[Solution]
[In our town]
[In our cities]
[In our baths]
[In our room]
[Who's gonna help?
Who's gonna say no?
No comic book heroes, that's for sure]
Seven trees on seven hills...
Separated for life...
[Happy islanders smiles on their faces]
[Happy islanders know something you don't]
[Happy islanders old Gods are stirring]

Diana Doesn't Care
04:06

She makes the toast
Takes the kids to school & then
Does the snops
Goes back to change the baby
When she cries
It's for no reason
Don't ask why
It's just the season
She watches soaps
Reads her woman's magazine
Her horoscopes
Say he'll treat his lady like a queen
They say
"It must be hard"
"She's on her own"
But she's okay
"Who needs him?"
She says & smiles
Because I've been beat before
Pulled myself off the floor
And stuck my foot in the door
Yes I've been down
Way down, right down
But never, ever
On my knees

This, then, is the purpose...
All movement is accomplished in six stages
And the seventh brings return (cheers Syd)

Love Thing (Corrupted)
03:20

I wanna be
The bubbles in your bath
I wanna be
The bedsheets on your bed
I wanna be
The teardrops on your cheek
I wanna be
The eighth day in your week
I'm so alone
The lipsticks on your lips
I wanna be
The twinkle in your eye
I wanna be
The thought upon your mind
I wanna be
I wanna be
Inside your skin
I wanna be
The barbed wire 'round your heart
I wanna be
The moth upon your lips
I'm so alone

OVERTURE: [instrumental]
PAINT ME BLUE:
Men of old
Who fought so boldly
Painted blue
They died for you
Died in waves
Sold as slaves
Tribal throne
Now waiting on Rome
Men of old
Who fought so boldly
Painted blue
They died for you
[Throughout history
Some men have oppressed others
Their freedom & land taken from them
But sooner or later
The underdog must fight back
There comes a time
When our enemies must feel cold steel
And the taste of blood]
Men of old
Who fought so boldly
Painted blue
They died for you
Died in waves
Sold as slaves
Tribal throne
Now waiting on Rome
Men of old
Who fought so boldly
Painted blue
They died for you

She's dressing in black
She's meeting her friends
They're doing the club
They're doing a tab
And then they're doing their heads
They're doing their minds
They're looking like shit
But they're having a good time
Trying to hide
Trying to hide
Trying to hide
Trying to hide
She's got to the bar
She's ordering drinks
She's trying to think
She doesn't know what money is
The toilets are strange
There's comfort inside
A womb of white tile
To be reborn
You got to die
Dying inside
Dying inside
Dying inside
Dying inside
They're laughing at jokes
They're laughing at jokes
They're laughing at jokes
They're laughing at jokes
They're laughing at jokes
That nobody made
They look at the hands
That never did belong to them
The flesh on the bone
The ashtray with ants in
It'll be alright
As long as Jake is dancing
Dance & survive
Dance & survive
Dance & survive
Dance & survive
Dance & survive
Dance & survive
Dance & survive
Dance & survive

There was so much time to just sit & think
You burned his letters in a dirty sink
It felt so bad that you could have burned the world
Well time was passing & it always will
She killed my love 'cause she had time to kill
And I was trapped here to watch that love decay
You ought to travel there's so much to see
If you could stand it you could come with me
Jennifer is there anywhere?
Anywhere you'd like to go
Could be Myra you could treat me cruel
And just like George I could be your fool
Make love so dirty that we never would feel clean
If you know what I mean

Not Getting Younger
02:25
|
|||
Head out of the clouds
Time feet on the ground
Security in life
Is not so easily found
And how can we be happy
If we're chained & bound?
If only is the saddest sound
Think about, talk about it, every day
Then let all your commitments
Stop you breaking away
I wish I was ten years younger
There'd be hell to pay
I'm sick & tired of hearing us say
We're not getting any younger
We're not getting any younger
We're not getting any younger
But we'll never be younger than today
Raking through the ashes of the
Life you've made
You come across the diamonds of your
Younger days
They were never lost
They were only mislaid
It's all a part of the price you've paid
We're not getting any younger
We're not getting any younger
We're not getting any younger
But we'll never be younger than today
Don't let it get you down
It's better to get mad
Don't ever lose the spark that
You once had
Forget about the telly and
Put down your beer
Mark your age in what you do
And not in years
And you will find your not as old as you appear
All we have is now & here
We're not getting any younger
We're not getting any younger
We're not getting any younger
But we'll never be younger than today
We're not getting any younger
We're not getting any younger
We're not getting any younger
But we'll never be younger than today

Cowboys & Indians

[I'm going over the edge
All I've got with me
Is some sandwiches
Some string
And a newspaper!]
This is the Pagan vegan
Eating trees & mistletoes
So kind to animals
Because your karma told you so
They go to demonstrations
They throw the humane brick
They save the beagle
But they're cheering when the pig is hit
The friendly village bobby
Is riding on his bike
Riding poll tax demonstrations
C.N.D. or miner's strike
We do ten pints of lager
We do it every night
We do not take no shit
And we are not afraid to fight
We are the freedom fighters
Put glass in baby food
We bomb the supermarkets
On form & on the move
You keep your kindest favours
For those who know you best
The hostess with the most
Just looking for the perfect guest
They're playing cowboys & Indians
They're playing cowboys & Indians
They're playing cowboys & Indians
They're playing cowboys & Indians
They're playing cowboys & Indians
They're playing cowboys & Indians
They're playing cowboys & Indians
They're playing cowboys & Indians
They're playing cowboys & Indians
You'll see them in the bars
And you'll meet them on the street
And down at the football match
They use their fists & use their feet
Hiding in their cars
And so friendly on the beat
Defending our right to do as we are told
They bomb the pubs & clubs
And they shoot the bombers down
From Ulster to Gibraltar
And in J******berg
They'll fight to keep Apartheid
They're fighting for black rights
They're fighting for United
They're playing cowboys & Indians
They're playing cowboys & Indians
They're playing cowboys & Indians

The Deal
03:39
|

[Hold on, Nancy!
Let's reap the deal!]
As I walked home one evening
Unsteady on my feet
I heard a noise beside a tree
My heart began to beat
The devil showed his face & said
"I've come to take you with me
You'll surely burn in hell unless
There's something you can give me"
I said "Please don't make me burn in hell!
For I have two young children
And a wife to feed as well"
"Well do you think in your conceit"
The devil said to me
"That you can dodge the fires of hell
to feed your family?"
I said "Now calm down, Lucifer
Because I know just how you feel
But if you'll hear me out this one time
Maybe we can make a deal"
We parted as the best of friends
And I want you all to know
The kids & me are doing fine
And my lady's down below

Drowning at Last
03:47
|
|||
The all-nighter's late
You wait & I wait
What do you find
In a pocket of time?
Acquaintance is past
Time goes so fast
It's waves crash against you
As you're tied to the mast
[Drowning at last]
Last in the race
A falling from grace
At the back of your mind
Like a forgotten face
This city is mine
The building so high
Teeth of the snake
They puncture the sky
The all-nighter's late
You wait & I wait
What do you find
In a pocket of time?

Sunniside

Springing up like parasites
On an ailing beast
Sucking up the blood
Until the animal's diseased
Recession is their banquet
Repression is their feast
Sunniside's the place to go
To get your goods released

Hey Ric****hard
If you see me outside
Hey Ric****hard
You'd better lower your eyes
Never look me in the eye
'cause I hate you your kids & wife
Oh give me nine-inch bowie knife
Twist & stick it back in
Hey Ric****hard
If you see me outside
Hey Ric****hard
You'd better lower your eyes
You've used the word of God in vain
To keep the working class in chains
It's the TV now instead of church
But you still hold the reins
Hey Ric****hard
If you see me outside
King Ric****hard
You'd better lower your eyes
Well I hope you enjoy the thing's you buy
'cause they'll be no good when you die
You can't get a camel through a rich man's eye
But I'm prepared to try
Hey Ric****hard
If you see me outside
Hey Ric****hard
You'd better just lower your eyes
