Good morning day, how do you do
I wonder - what will you do for me?
I should be on my way, I should be earning pay
I should be all the things that I'm not -
And I've tried on my own, now there's nothing to keep me at home
Like my brother has too - gotta leave to get out of this view
You see they, tell you to move around -
If you can't find work in your own town

As I rise from my bed I can hear the old man
Blaming heaven & mother for this
30 years with one firm, 13 months redundant
Yes I'd say that's unlucky for some -

Now our tears fall like rain, as my mother walks me to my train
With a kiss & a wave - "come home weekends" - that's if I can save
I swear I'll take it out on the man -
Who ever devised this economy plan

All the love in the world - can't put -
Dinner on the table -
All the hate that I feel no love could put right

Good morning day, how do you do
I wonder - what will you do for me?
I should be on my way, I should be earning pay
I should be all the things that I'm not -

And I've tried on my own, now there's nothing to keep me at home
All the love and the strength has been taken by this government
You see they, tell you to move around -
If you can't find work in your own town

Father's in the kitchen, counting out coins
Mother's in the bedroom, looking through pictures of her boys
One is in london, looking for a job
The other's in whitehall - looking for those responsible!

The wind blows whispers down the street
Having free reign with the town so bleak -
Like everything else it's - all gone away
The town hall clock gives forth its chime
For no-one there to ask the time -
Like everything else they've - all gone away

The grocer's shop hangs up its sign
The sign say's closed it's a sign of the times -
Like everything else they've - all gone away

But somewhere the party never ends
And greedy hands rub together again -
Shipping out the profits that they've stolen

An eerie wail comes from the pit
The ghosts of the men take the morning shift -
Just like clockwork - rusting away

Come take a walk upon these hills
And see how monetarism kills -
Whole communities -
Even families -
There's nothing left so - they've all gone away

May I walk you home tonight
On this fine and lovely night tonight -
We'll walk past the luscious houses
Through rolling lawns and lovely flowers -
Our nice new town where the curtains are drawn
Where hope is started and dreams can be borne
Let us share our insanity
Go mad together in community
Boys on the corner looking for their supper
Boys round the green looking for some slaughter -
We used to chase dreams now we chase the dragon
Mine is the semi with the union jack on

In our paradise lost we'll be finding our sanity
In this paradise found we'll be losing our way -
For a brave new day

May I slash my wrists tonight
On this fine conservative night tonight -
I was looking for a job so I came to town
I easily adopt when the chips are down -
I read the ad about the private schemes
I liked the idea but now I'm not so keyne

If you believe you have an equal share
In the whole wide world and all it bears
An' that your share is no less or more than
Your fellow sisters and brother man
Then take this knowledge and with it insist
Declare yourself - an internationalist!
If you lay no blame at the feet of next door
An' realise this struggle is also yours
An' that without the strength of us altogether
The world as it stands will remain forever
Then take this challenge and make it exist!
Rise up as - an internationalist!

If your eyes see deeper than the colour of skin
Then you must also see we are the same within
An' the rights you expect are the rights of all
Now it's up to you to lead the call
That liberty must come at the top of the list
Stand proud as - an internationalist!

If you see the mistake in having bosses at all
You will also see how they all must fall
For under this system there is no such thing
As the democracy our leaders would have us sing
No time for lies now as only truth must persist
Rise up now and declare yourself - an internationalist!

For liberty there is a cost - it's broken skulls and leather cosh
From the boys in uniform - now you know whose side they're on -
With backing - with blessing
From earthly gods not heaven
A stone's throw away from it all

Whatever pleasures those who get - from stripping skin with rhino whip
Are the kind that must be stopped - before their kind take all we've got -
With loving - with caring
They take great pride in working
The stone's throw away from it all

Whenever honesty persists - you'll hear the snap of broken ribs
Of anyone who'll take no more - of the lying bastards' roar -
In chile - in poland
Johannesburg - south yorkshire
A stone's throw away: now we're there

Get 'em laughing - keep 'em there
You hold your own and they'll hold their's
Hold their glasses - can't hold their beer
Tell 'em the one about the fucking queer
Do the one that always works
'Bout the lazy blacks that don't like work
And once you got 'em, keep 'em there
Raise their spirits! raise their cheer!

Do that one that never fails
'Bout the gang of white thugs and the asian male
And once you got 'em, they'll be with you!
See this lot's loyal, through and through

Tell irish jokes and you can't miss
Do the building site one and how they're all thick
Keep 'em laughing - you'll have it made
We're a friendly lot and you'll be well paid

But keep 'em laughing don't let it stop
Or the truth might catch up and spoil the plot

As the rain comes down, upon this sad sweet earth
I lie awake at nights and - think about me
All those usual things like what a fool I've been
I curse the awful way - that I let you slip away
For what was forged in love, is now cooling down
With only myself to blame for playing that stupid game
I thought I need only call and you would run
But that day you never showed honey - well I sure learnt -

That it seems I need you more each day
Heaven knows why that it goes that way -
Now it's far too late - an' I've lost this time -
Like the boy who cried wolf

An' yes - I know it's far too late
To ever win you back -
No tale of nightmare's at my gate -
Could make you turn -
My lost concern

And now the night falls down, upon my selfish soul
I sit alone and wonder - where did I go wrong?
It always worked before you kept the wolf from my door
But one day you never showed and honey - now I'm not so sure -

That is seems I need you more each day
Heaven knows why that it goes that way -
Now it's far too late - an' I've lost this time -
Like the boy who cried wolf

I bought the paper yesterday and I saw the obituary
And I read of how you died in pain -
Well I just couldn't understand it
If I could of changed that, then lord knows I'd do it now
But there is no going back -
And what's done is done forever

But you were always chained and shackled by the dirt -
Of every small town institution and every big town flirt

And I think of what you might have been
A man of such great promise
Oh but, you seem to forget the dream -
And the more you saw you hated

But let's not talk of blame, for what is only natural
Like a moth going to a flame -
You had a dangerous passion

But you were always chained and shackled by the dirt -
Of every small town institution and every big town flirt

All the things that you might have been - but who am I to say?
Still I wonder -
If it's the cold earth you prefer to lay -
If it's the cold earth - you prefer to stay

Catch me I'm falling so fast and I can't seem to find
All the reasons I had when the purpose was mine
Now I stumble so fast rolling into the night
Kiss me quick before I land and am broken in two
Keep me on the right track, hold my dreams in tact too -
I get lost in this place - I get lost, yes its true

Quand on n'a plus rien en soi - quand on n'a plus de refuge -
Quand on ne peut plus fuir - quand on ne sais on courrir
Noir comme la nuit - oui, noir comme mon ame -
Noir comme les eaux - dans lesquels je sombre

Help me I'm sinking so fast into waters unplanned
That I once held onto but have got out of hand
Now the things that I loved are the things I can't stand

Squeeze me slow before I come to that part of the ground
It's a million miles up and a million miles down
I get lost in between and I wait to be found

Quand on n'a plus rien en soi - quand on n'a plus de refuge -
Quand on ne peut plus fuir - quand on ne sais ou courrir -
Noir comme la nuit - oui noir comme mon ame -
Noir comme les eaux - dans lesquels je sombre

And in the waters I sink and in the waters I drink
Until I rise to the top which in truth is not
To make you feel your alright, to make you feel there's no fight -

No peace for the wicked - only war on the poor
They're batting on pickets - trying to even the score
It's all inclusive - the dirt comes free
And you can be all that you want to be
Oh an equal chance and an equal say
But equally there's no equal pay
There's room on top - if you tow the line
And if you believe all this you must be out of your mind

There's only room for those the same
Those who play the leeches game
Don't get settled in this place
The lodger's terms are in disgrace

Getcha brains blown out - in a captain's mess
Stand for the queen if you can stand the test
It's all thrown in and the lies come free
And you can be all that they want you to be

Oh if you work hard you can be the boss
But if you don't work at all then that's nobody's loss
There's room on top - if you dig in low
And the idea is what they reap you sow

With an old school tie and a reference
You can cover up crimes in their defence
It's all thrown in and the lies come free
And you can be all that they want you to be

Luck

With Everything To Lose
