Seatle

Don't like the look of this old town
What goes up must come down
Character is lost and found
On unfamiliar playing ground

Get out of My World
What in the world

Shoe boxed around the rifle range
Have all your functions rearranged
Your mind and body gagged and bound
On a new familiar playing ground
The ordinary will ignore
Whatever they cannot explain
As if nothing ever happened
And everything remained the same again

What in the world
What in the world
What in the world
Get out of my world
Get out of my world
Get out of my world

Open your mouth now

Secret sirens and knowing looks
these sunny days will cook the books
Happy to take the misery
This mortal life can bring to me
Don't like the look of this old town
What goes up must come down
Character is lost and found
On unfamiliar playing ground

What in the world
What in the world
What in the world
What in, get out, get out
Get out of my world
What in the world

Palaces, barricades, threats meet promises

Rules and Regulations

This is not a love song
This is not a love song
This is not a love song

This is not a love song
This is not a love song
This is not a love song
This is not a love song

Happy to have
Not to have not
Big business is very wise
I'm crossing over into free-enter-prize

This is not a love song
This is not a love song
Not a love song
Not a love song

I'm going over to the other side
I'm happy to have not to have not
Big business is very wise
I'm inside free enterprise

I'm adaptable
I'm adaptable

I'm adaptable
Now I like my new role
I'm getting better and better
I have a new goal
I'm changing my ways
Where money applies

This is not a love song
This is not a love song
This is not a love song
This is not a love song
This is not a love song
Not a love song

Now are you ready
To grab the candle
That tunnel vision
Not television
Behind the curtain
Out of the cupboard
You take the first train
Into the big world
Now will I find you
Now will you be there

Not a love song (echo)
Not a love song
Not a love song (repeat)

Happiness and sunshine
Not a love song
Oh no
Not a love song
Oh no
Not a love song
Oh no (repeat)

The Body

When you run about
Without precautions
You'll get diseased
And need abortions
And up till now
No vaccination
Can give you back your reputation
We want
We want your body
We want
We want your body
We want
We want your body (repeat)

Cathy go home
Without your daughter
In a welfare state
She'll be well looked after
And it's easy now
This other person
Is off your back not a burden

We want
We want your body
We want
We want your body
We want
We want your body (repeat)
Body

 

Save Me

Where is all began
born on desert sands
Desperate citizens
Led by scorpions
Now the condition
Religious discipline
Foraging fanaticism
Heaven this mouth of soap
God his private joke

So save me

This camel in the needles eye
Will laugh and let you die
Tear from limb to limb
Take this pound of flesh
Searing chiking dust
Madness full of lust
Tear from limb to limb
Take this pound of flesh

Save me
Save me

Faith in foolish words
Cows now join the heard
A mass of mindless ants
Dead as decadence
Grind this golend crock
And bleat among the flock

Save me
Back,
Back to the country
Back to mother earth
Out near sellafield my nuclear birth

And Save me
Save me
Save me
Save me (repeat)

 

Hard Times

Dead dreams
Dead dreams flying flags
Flapping into the breeze
Wave your coloured rags

Hard times
Were they never any better
Maybe never ever

The slogan will take you like lemmings to the cliff
You'll feel better than ever
And into the abyss
Ha! Ha! Ha ha!

Hard times
Were they never any better

Every crack every crevice will be sanitised
There'll be no more war
There'll be no more choice

And those not behind you
Should go live elsewhere
Spies everywhere
You put the poison in the air

Hard times
Were they never any better
Maybe never ever

The words cry for help
But the music says no
Every sentence a siege of national pride

Hard times
Were they never any better, maybe

And I
I won't answer the call
I don't like khaki
I won't wear your uniform

There'll be no more war
There'll be no more choice
There'll be no more war
There'll be no more choice
Hard times
Were they ever any better

 

Open and Revolving

Now this age of learning
Vocal vocabulary
But it still comes out sounding
Like some silly soliloquy
This attitude of learning
All the books you read
Pretty parrot fashion
But there's nothing in your head

You're winning

Better off removing
This educated stance
And the brilliant observing
When you're young and got the chance

You're winning

There are no easy answers to elongated questions
So try and keep an eye out
And be open to suggestions

Be winning

And now you're understanding
Don't be vegetating
All the doors are open
Open and revolving

Heartaches and the headaches
Open and Revolving

 

Angry

Your savage mind
Has made you deaf dumb blind
Your savage heart is tearing you apart

You, you make me angry
You, you make me angry

You’re lost in the crowd
Wearing numbers like a shroud
You are a coward we watch you conform
An what you're wearing
Is just another
Like any other uniform

You are fashionable
Like any other trend
You follow on
Pose
Pretend

You, you are not your own person
You, took a tactical diversion
Why, not try and be yourself
No individual
Self made perfect creation

And all of the clones
That have impressed you
Have turned you up and out and into a court jester
No excuse you are no use
You built your life on somebody else

 

Fat Chance Hotel

With the fly in my eye
It didn't take long
To realise
The desert sun
Might be good for some
Oh no, but not for I

Fat Chance Hotel
Fat Chance Hotel

I get bored in the brain
Out here
Doing nothing at all
Some useless holiday
This turned out to be
The dinner gave me
The splattery botty

Fat Chance Hotel
Fat Chance Hotel

Burning
All day long
I, I don't belong
Itching in frustration
This is not my ideal vacation

Fat Chance Hotel
