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

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]

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)

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

Trip Hazard 02:36
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
11.
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
12.
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

[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
15.
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?

Caveman got a lot to say! (x∞) [Woolly mammoth!]

Sunniside 00:57
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

Rich****ard 04:13
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
