So you throw a brick, you're a clever man, it might hurt
But it missed me by a mile, you're a bad shot
Madolescent boiling to the break point
Madolescent boiling to the break point
Saw you yesterday - you vandalised a phone box
You stole the stick from a small kiddie's lollipop
Madolescent boiling to the break point
Madolescent boiling to the break point
Sipping coke and eating cheese and onion crisps
In the cafe, think you're such a big hit
But nobody is looking at you now you're thinking
All these girls are just a bunch of cows
Outside Liptons swearing at the babies
On the street scaring all the old ladies

Valentine

'm adjusting the tone on my £500 colour TV
Neighbours whisper loudly - his records are groovy baby
I'm having bad luck, got my Lo-Fi system to pay
And even my horoscope says I'm going to die today
I got your valentine
I got your valentine today
I don't get many letters addressed to me
And a valentine's card was a very weird thing to see
So I looked inside, I thought the writing was jolly fine
But when I looked again I realised that the writing was mine
I got your valentine
I got your valentine today
How tidy, how touching
Oh, oh, smart
Yeeha

Telegram

Stop - pulling all your hair out
Stop - worrying about your weight
Stop - eating all that porridge
Stop - fighting with the baby
Ah ah
Stop - telling me I'm ugly
Stop - saying that I'm thick
Stop - stopping at the bus stop
Stop - acting narow minded
You might just win the war
If you stop giving up
This is a telegram
Telling you I think you suck
Stop - messing with your sister
Stop - teasing with the cat
Stop - saying goodbye mother
Stop - having fits like that
Sitting in the bastard Rothes Arms
Watching all the bastard groups
Playing all their fifteen million chords
In their little bastard suits

Cha Cha Cha Music

Cabaret, cabaret, cabaret
Cabaret - Where this name is clicked for fields
Cabaret - Cocktails and olive peels
Cabaret
Cha cha cha, cha cha cha, cha cha cha cha cha cha
Cha cha cha, cha cha cha, cha cha cha cha cha cha
And it plays on
Cha cha cha music
Cabaret - I know nothing about this place
Cabaret - Let me out before the grace
Cabaret
Cabaret - drums, drums adorn the floor
Cabaret - drums, drums upon the floor
Cabaret
Cabaret, cabaret, cabaret
Cabaret - drums, drums adorn the floor
Cabaret - encore, encore, encore

False Charges
02:13
|

Why do you call me a politician
When I'm not after your recognition
Now you're calling me a communist
I'm nobody 'cept when I'm pissed
Don't charge me with your lies
Don't charge me with all your lies
Don't call me a comrade

American Poetess
02:08
|

Oh have you seen her, seen her, seen her in fair isle
Oh could you, could you, could you see her as dread
And did you, did you, did you make her ann angel
Or did you take take her, take her in bed
An American poetess
An American poetess
An American poetess
Too elegant, degenerate, so disgraceful
A sordid sequence of bright lights and lust
Your pocket's empty and the bed's to be paid for
Bit of a letdown on a mattress of rust
And now you wake up and you want to meet her
Because you realise it's not like they said
She may look ugly in your living room poster
But it's different when you're dreaming in bed

Like A Nightmare

The ceiling
Shut down now
The feeling
Closed down now
A feeling
Just like a nightmare
The ceiling
The nightmare
In daytime

Cute Kick
02:41
|

A little bit of reaction
Won't go amiss
Steve tried his smile on
Steve's trying to win
He's on a cute kick
Bags and allsorts
He's really unique
An individual
Didn't your mother ever tell you, you were wrong
Didn't your mother ever tell you
He doesn't follow
The new image
He's his own gimmick
So genuine
He likes what he wants
Not very hip
He doesn't sew shirts
He puts on zips

Hard Luck Stories
01:23
|
|||
Dossing out in Waverley, six days of the week
Friday nights and sunny days, lie down in a street
With your hundred forty proof Bel Air
Tucked inside your coat
Singing songs about the war
Looks like you missed the boat
Don't like your hard luck stories
Hate your hard luck stories
"Bridge Too Far" - you tell us all they were all your friends
Now they're dead, but some like you are registered in beds
Telling of experiences
Fighting for your life
Now you scan the floor for dog-ends
Just to stay alive

Spent all night in a bar
Now I'm lying in a car
In a street in a car
On my back in a car
In a park and I'm cold
It was something I smoked
Moroccan roll
And rock and roll
The grass is wet in St James Park
Met a girl who was hot
Met a tap that was cold
Had a lobster for tea
Then I joined the navy
Woke up in a bed
Which was strange for a change
Fell asleep in a bed
When I woke I was dead
