Moon Dip
01:49
|

At the moon dip, moon dip
At the moon dip, moon dip
Squirming on the floor, heads dropped to one side
Never miss a step and they're still doing the hand jive
At the moon dip, moon dip
At the moon dip, moon dip
Copied movements from last week's Revolver show
But we're not sheep are we, we'll ride this wave and flow
I started last week's brand new dance

Cutting Down On Conflict
02:29
|
|||
What happened to the angry eyes
Who now just make a compromise
They rebelled with the world as it stands
Today less speech and less demands
They're cutting down on conflict
What a turn around
No more axe to grind
Just a mumbled sound
What happened to the angry eyes
Who now just make a compromise
They rebelled with the world as it stands
Today less speech and less demands
They're cutting down on conflict
What a turn around
No more axe to grind
Just a mumbled sound
What's your main worry now?

Only If It's Free
02:01
|
|||
I'm waiting in a queue
They tell me what to do
When I get to the top
They'll send me to a shop
Don't charge nothing to me
Only if it's free
I've got to make demands
Try another stance
Allowance for my clothes
So everybody knows
I'll need some company
But only if it's free
I'm waiting in a queue
They tell me what to do
When I get to the top
They'll send me to a shop
I'll need some company
But only if it's free
Don't charge nothing to me
Only if it's free

Character Sacrifice
02:56
|
|||
And every step you take's a
Character sacrifice
You listen with intent
You build yourself up nice
Cos it's an interview
And you must plant this job
Know your surroundings and say
The right thing on the spot
Character sacrifice, character sacrifice
Character sacrifice, character sacrifice
The personnel man picks on
Your references to date
He'll look you up and down
Tell you to have your say
Look your man in the eye
Ask him what is the price
You have to act the part
Character sacrifice
Character sacrifice, character sacrifice
Character sacrifice, character sacrifice
And every step you take's a
Character sacrifice
You listen with intent
You build yourself up nice
Cos it's an interview
And you must plant this job
Know your surroundings and say
The right thing on the spot

The Fatted Calf
02:12
|
|||
Slice me off my half
Let's toast the fatted calf
We'll open up today
Something must give way
Anyway you want, choosy I am not
Fatted calf shall stay
Who shall bear the sow, carve my slice right now
We must celebrate
Anniversary
Everyone's happy
Don't sulk in in the corner
Come join with us all

Gin Rummy
01:19
|
|||
I need a kind alibi
No sympathy, I could cry
Don't want to dissociate
I'll complain until late
When the light's dark to me
And you play Gin Rummy
It's so easy to hide
When you've found your disguise
Kill the moths and the flies
That all gather to see
You playing Gin Rummy

Third Man
01:56
|
|||
Waiting for a decent part
An actor with a golden heart
He's the third man
He's the third man
He says his line when in a film
The cast at the end always says that
He's the third man
He's the third man
Norman Grrenbaum, Norman Greenbaum
Norman Grrenbaum, Norman Greenbaum
He's the third man
He's the third man

Where Was You Bred
02:43
|
|||
Down to homely bar, meet the nicest Joe
Start a conversation but he's talking of the weather
Now he's telling me his jacket's imitation leather
And so he's dragging on about how prices have near doubled
Informing me again about his sister's latest trouble
Quite a conversation stopper
Where was you bred
Said I was a teenybopper
Where was you bred
Actually I started life inside a cosy warm place
From the womb my mother did not like the l;ook on my face
Now nicey Joe is saying how irrelevant I am
God he is an unbearable intelligent man
Quite a conversation stopper
Where was you bred
Said I was a teenybopper
Where was you bred
I ain't gonna catch you when you fall

You Make Me Yawn
02:39
|
|||
Well, well, well, you've found your perfect lifestyle
You used to be so mad, it seems you've shyed down
The trouble is you love you and it shows through
Now you're just content to pose and look good
Seems to me you've grown up
Oh oh oh
Seems to me you've died
Oh, oh, oh
You're in love and smart now
Oh, oh, oh
Hope your kids grow up fine
Oh, oh, oh
Now you claim you move in higher circles
Mixing at smart parties, wear the right clothes
Desperately making conversation
You've really got us all yawn, yawn, yawning
Ah, ah...
Seems to me you've grown up
Oh oh oh
Seems to me you've died
Oh, oh, oh
You're in love and smart now
Oh, oh, oh
Hope your kids grow up fine
Oh, oh, oh

Americanised
02:38
|
|||
Singing with revenge - a U.S. accent
I love your confidence, bt where's your voice went
You used to say och aye, a little Gaelic
And you were proud of that, you wouldn't change it
You're so Americanised
You're so Americanised
You're so Americanised
Oh what a patriarch, you were so loyal
You wore a tartan scarf - you kissed the soil
The thing I hate is kilts, heather and scotch stew
But I never dreamed that you would change too
Now
You're so Americanised
You're so Americanised
You're so Americanised

I'm So Conservative
01:25
|
|||
I just want all things to be
I don't want all things to be
I want everything I get
I don't want anything yet
I'm so conservative
I'm so conservative
I'm so conservative
I've got curtains on my window
I haven't got a dog at all
I'd like to buy some glossy mag
Imitation leather bag
I'm so conservative
I'm so conservative
I'm so conservative

Glenrothes Remains
02:41
|
|||
Glenrothes remains
Totally unchanged
In the youth club hall
The balding manager calls
How do you think it feels?
In the kingdom shops
While we spend our days
Here's the heavy squad
To beat you for your wage
How do you think it feels?
Only 14 and you're mildly dependent on drink
And you're too confused to think
Glenrothes remains
Remains

More Party Pieces
02:23
|

It's no-one's party
Least no-one that I know
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
It's only started
And we're getting stoned
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
With any luck, we'll catch pneumonia
And if I don't, I can always phone ya
The conversation is at it's lowest ebb
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Everyone's staring at the walls instead
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
With any luck, we'll catch pneumonia
And if I don't, I can always phone ya
It's half eleven and now we're having fun
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Hey, come on over before you miss the fun
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
With any luck, we'll catch pneumonia
And if I don't, I can always phone ya
What a shame, the party's over
What a shame, the party's over
The party's over

Waltzer Cartoons
02:39
|
|||
Here's the matinee
Here's the sandy sea
Waltzer cartoon time
Flash and romance
Lots of reds and pies
Bright balloons and skies
Waltzer cartoon time
Bugs Bunny
Comic strips
Whizzer and Chips
Plenty laughs
Stars autographs
Now it's neon town
Oh the brassy clown
Waltzer cartoon time
Foghorn Leghorn
