Sally is Damn Good Now
Sally took my last words into the night
Thought I saw emotion stopped in the half-light
Stopped in the half-light, Sally's there shining bright
I should've known you never hold hands with a jewel
She'll take you for a fool
As she marches another boy, fast toy
All around the pool that I'm crying into
Thought we were strangers in love
Perfect strangers
Trying to arrange for a love
To invade us
All around the world
People say the word
Falling for the girl
And coming out and saying it first
I could feel the moment slip out of my hands
People tell me Sally's started living in London now
I can feel my fingers touch the dial
Trying to touch that smile
And bring it back somehow
People say she cut a dash standing in the hall
Walking to the door on the arm of an American boy with a new toy
And a big American car
She was a stranger to love
Perfect stranger
Just re-arranging for love
To evade her
All around the world
People say their love is true
But I just found a girl
Who couldn't say it too
Just another nearly-made-it filed away
SOLO
All around the world
People say the word
Falling for the girl
And coming out and saying it first
All around the world
People tell me Sally's damn good now
And in another world
I made it come true

Where is Fay?
In the half-light telling me vaguely she's heaven sent
Looking like nothing but just a little more than the minimum content
Asking me to take a little step to the left of my better judgment
(They) all got turned over like
So many playing cards
Can't hold, they just fold
They just fall apart
Somebody told me I
Could lose my way tonight
I cried it's one-sided
Shooting at 'em from both sides
Where is Fay?
She feels like light years away
And it was only a day
Before I stepped on the plane
On the rack just listening to the soundtrack, uninspired
This could be love or I could be just hot-wired
Like a loco, thinking in slow-mo, wheels on fire
Can't even use my ticket, it just expired
I let the time go by
Bye mister, goodnight
I left my ticket and my clean shirt on the outside
I just got taken there
I lost my reservation
I came without a gun
And I was shot by both sides
Where is Fay?
She feels like light years away
And it was only a day
Before I stepped on the plane

This Side of Paradise
1. I look outside - wish I could look inside
Wish I could be the one
Jump out of line, step out of time
If I could make it I might try
The radio tracks me down
And it's almost yesterday
Conspiring to break my heart
And I just can't get away
I thought I heard the tower of pictures and words
But they can't say nothing at all
I'm alive in the city branded with eyes
To watch me a thousand times over
You got it made if you can capture the woman in shades
And tell her it's not like that at all
She wouldn't smile between the sand and the ice
If she ever stepped out into this side of paradise
2. Standing under I look up and wonder if I could be the one
Rain in my eyes, wish I was holding her hand in the sun
The stones, the plastic skin and bones
They speak to me every day
"If I can't take your heart
I'll just take your life away"
Why don't you come dancing out of the walls
And boxes and paper parades
Can you wait 'till the streetlight touches the nerve
And breaks up the folded arms
I wanna start, I wanna tear that woman apart
Lay her naked across the street
See what she's got to say
She wouldn't smile between the sand and the ice
If she ever stepped out into this side of paradise
Didn't want to tell the difference
Didn't want to know
Didn't want to let my picture show
We could've been home by now
We could've been
We could've been home
SOLO
Why don't you come dancing out of the walls
And boxes and paper parades
Can you wait 'till the streetlight touches the nerve
And breaks up the folded arms
I wanna start, I wanna tear that woman apart
Lay her naked across the street
See what she's got to say
She wouldn't smile between the sand and the ice
If she ever stepped out into this side of paradise

Venus in Mufti
Got my description on the classified, pre-paid
Looking for a four-string girl or a Japanese
Now I can't understand
Why they didn't come falling out of trees
I don't want a photograph
Or your CV
Or your guarantee
Oh - it's only you and only me
Be my Venus, my Venus in mufti
Be my Venus, my Venus in mufti
Be my Venus, my Venus in mufti, mufti
Yeah - ooh, ooh, ooh
GUITAR BREAK [1]
I'm in double vision wishing I could tell you that it's you
But the words won't - but the words won't
Still I can't understand
What I meant when I said it was a run-through
I just want to see white lines
Lips touching lips and tired eyes
We're taking the long way round
Still not in town
BREAK
Oh -
Take me out of this loneliness
Take me out of this lo -
GUITAR BREAK [2]
Be my Venus, my Venus in mufti
Be my Venus, my Venus in mufti
Be my Venus, my Venus in mufti, mufti
Yeah - ooh, ooh, ooh

There's a Fire
How could I ever let you go
And give your heart away
And let you find a lover
Who could take my place
Because you know
Though you might find it never looks that way
What I feel is more than I can say
And though I make it complicated
I shouldn't hesitate to say it - cos it's true
Ch: Deep inside there's a fire burning bright for you
All the stars in the night tell you why it's true
Count the stars and count the times
That I could fall in love with you
Sometimes you cry it could be the end
Sometimes you hurt enough for two
But remember I will always be your friend
Couldn't find another love like you
So if you want to dance with me I'll dance
The whole night through, just wait and see
And hold you close enough
So you can hold me too
And you'll find me - and I'll find you
Break:
And when I'm gone
It's just to write it in a song
But next to you
I'd let it drift away
[CHORUS]

Malibu
1. It's the last time I'm ever gonna take you
Out with your shoes on in Malibu
And it's just a crime to hear a surf song
Inside a car with a roof on
We drove the wrong way all around the blonde waves
And stopped at Jack's down by the sea
He said "Excuse me, I can't sell you Stüssy*, your suit's not wet enough for me"
Carrie came round, sat a long time at the bar
Said she could get off with the way I talk
And she said Candy'd be my friend
But candy on Laguna Beach costs a lot less
Ali saw a blonde babe
Fell off his roller blades
Said "she was looking at me!"
We laughed the whole way down Ventura Highway
And stopped at Carrie's for tea
Hey, hey Malibu
We're going down with you
Hey, hey Beverley
Come out and dance with me
[solo]
Carrie rang the Air Bel
Candy found the stairwell free
And I just lost my way
I watched the MTV but all the chicks for free
Must have been home that day
Hey, hey Malibu
I missed the Caines' house too
Hey, hey Beverley
What does bodacious mean?
So I say goodbye, Malibu
We had a good time, Malibu
I had to try hard, Malibu
To stay three shades lighter than you
We walked the line in Malibu
All the words rhyme in Malibu
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, Beverley
Don't need to mean a thing to me
* a brand of quality surfing apparel

IReturn to Malibu
Back on Sunset
Candy said meet Juliet
Carrie told me Holly would be waiting
Ali said "Man, it's like Electric Ladyland
And by the way this call's for you"
She talked the talk
Said she was a wild girl
And she could get around
Inside a red red red car
She walked the walk, man
Turned up to maximum
That car could take you all the way
I felt Candy bend
Ali told me Sodom and Gomorah
Could be just the same at weekends
It's like a shark attack
He said you can't look back
You'd turn into a pillar of cocaine
Holly worked at Ray's
Candy gets a cameo
She could be on TV
Late late late at night
Juliet could play
I said I'd be Romeo
I'd cross the line with you tonight
Ch: Like castaways stuck on a wave
The ride's amazing
Let the sun go down on you
Everyday's a Saturday
And we went crazy
When we went back to Malibu
Solo
Carrie Caroo
Did we play a mind game?
I'm stuck inside of you
Get 999
You're stuck inside of me
I need a razor blade
I need to cut myself away
Like castaways stuck on a wave
The ride's amazing
Let the sun go down on you
Everyday's a Saturday
And we went crazy
When we went back to Malibu
Down on the bay
I catch a ray
I'm in a Passion-play
Can't stop and I'm not trying to
Everyday's a day
When everyone goes crazy
When we go back to Malibu
Like castaways stuck on a wave
The ride's amazing
Let the sun go down on you
Everyday's a Saturday
And we went crazy
When we went back to Malibu

Real Amour
1. Tonight we all slip out of stream
Danny looks right, Patty looks right
They copied from a magazine
The stuff was tailor-made
But it never fitted anyway
And when it all came away
We laughed like a drain
And it was real amour
Lights out on the second floor
And we were really gone
We jumped right overboard
Yes we were really gone
For just one moment of our own
2. Looking at the handbags, take a little drag
Staying out of the light that's green
Danny said "Isn't that the girl?"
"Yes", I said - I don't need a go-between
She knows we know
And all her friends know it too
We don't need a tarot
To say it's just me and it's you
3. We got a ride in Ken and Betty's car
And Kenny shook his furry dice
And Patty took us down the Rock Lobster bar
And Betty had hers with rice
Everybody split the tab
And Danny left his magazine
Patty took a radio cab
And I watched it on TV
Just like real amour
Lights out on the second floor
And they were really gone
They jumped right overboard
Yes they were really gone
For just one moment of our own

Karen and Gary
See my photograph
It's my boyfriend
In'ee lovely?
She was showing it to all her friends
And they all said "yes"
It must be lovely in the fire brigade
Does he say what it's like in the fire brigade?
Karen and Gary the fireman
They go to Bromley
On the train to weekend excitement
Two hearts beating softly
We was driving in his car
to the Air Show
He goes very fast
Sometimes on Friday he will call me up
And at the weekend we will
Sit at the bar and he will talk to his friends
And I will watch him talking - watch him talking
Karen and Gary the fireman
They go to Bromley
On the train to weekend excitement
Two hearts beating softly
Break:
(Then) one day Gary said the US of A
Is where I want to be
And he got on a plane ...
Karen looks out of the window at Bromley
Holding the letter
She writ to Gary
And one day he'll call me
One day he'll call me
One day he'll call ...

She Said Hey
1. I never let you know
Never let my picture fall apart
Never let it go
And you sit alone
Calling for a love song of your own
I got a girl who says
I left love on the rack
I just make her face turn red
And she don't need a lover like that
And she said hey
Hear what I say
Sing me a love song
You don't sing me love songs everyday
Hear what I say
I'm telling you straight
2. Don't lose control
Don't let the broken hearted people make you low
They never let you go
And they can't remember love songs anymore
You don't need to break into my head
Trying to find a space of your own
I know I leave a lot unsaid
But I don't have a heart of stone
And I said hey
What can I say?
I try to sing you love songs
This might be a love song
I can play
Break:
3. We could lose control
I say don't talk all the talk
Just sing along
Put that gun away
This could be our love song for today
I met a girl who said
We made it with a little contact
Now she's on the phone instead
And I don't need a lover like that
So I say hey
What can I say?
This song is my love song
What do you say?
And she said hey
Let me hear you play
You call this a love song anyway?
And I said hey
[Don't get me wrong]
What can I say?
[Just sing my song]
It's my only love song for today
She said hey
[This can't go on]
Well that's OK
[I'll sing this song]
This could be a love song
Let it play
Hear what I say
Hear what I say...

What Love Can Bring (Version 1)
Out on the street tonight
Wish I had another love song
To sing tonight
After all it took me so long
For the time of my life
It was too easy walking
Just holding hands
Easy just talking avoiding your eyes
There must be another song
Another song I could sing
Bring words and music to me
And I'll show you love
Let you know, let it show
Show you what love can bring
The thin line of smoke from my cigarette
Writes all the words we should've shared
Before they break up and drift away
Reaching out further than I could
Calling to you like I never would
There must be another song
Yes there's another song I can sing
Bring words and music to me
And I'll show you love
Let you know, let it showv
Show you what love can bring
SOLO
v
For the million years I live tonight
I will dream another
Dream of light
I see the arms reach from our sides
Lips touching lips and eyes touching eyes
And I sing a different song
I sing the song that lovers sing
My words and music fill me
And show me the love
That I show you that I can bring
I'll show you what love can bring
[With a different song]
I'll show you what love can bring
[Had it inside all along]
I'll show you what love can bring

Only the Lights Still Shine
She said "You know it might be him" - well, maybe
I'm looking at you look at me strangely
Looking for a look or a sign
Oh - he always talked at me so coldly
Now he's trying to be the one and only
Doing it all like there might not be a next time
Someone said it's just a game, boy
No, it really can't be you
Playing with a little time before you lose
Well I'm staying just a little insane, boy
I know it's too good to be true
Look me in the eye - say you don't want it too
Only the lights still shine bright in the night
It's just the same in the room with my name
I can find myself a mystery lady
But she can never call me baby
Cos I can only sing her the lines
I get it one way or another
It's like I'm working undercover
Going through the stop sign - working every line - playing double time
Yes it's just a game, girl - it's crazy but it's true
Tonight you found me here and I found you
We can get a little insane girl
We can start it on a count of two
You don't need me any more - than I need you
close
The Place We Both Once Knew
1. Count to ten
Before you give up the hand
That's meant for you
To carry you through
As you crawl
Between what is and what seems
I'll lend my ear
As you whisper your fears
So much life to undo
Til we find me and you
2. Take your time
Take the look in my eyes
And try and hold it inside
And call it mine
As I kiss you a kiss of life
Renewed, you discovering you
And the light of the day
In the life that we make
As we dance in the light of
The place that we both once knew
Both once knew
Both once knew
close
Set me free
1. I've been sitting here for so long
Taking all the pain
Tearing at my heart
How could a love that started so strong
Turn around
And break us apart
You won't believe me but I swear I tried
To stop the hurt that's building up inside
Now what you don't want to listen to
Is what I'm asking you, but
Ch: God only knows
How much I want you
Back again
But I can't walk the road
Where all the bridges are in flames
So it goes
Let me go - wave and softly
Set me free
(Set me free)
2. I don't want to make you lonely
Crying through the night
With nobody there
But you don't touch me any more
Than you touch the phone
Or your book or your cigarette
You won't believe me but I swear it's true
There wasn't anyone, nobody but you
But I've got to look into the mirror too
That's why I'm asking you, but Ch
You won't believe me but I swear I tried
To stop the hurt that's building up inside
Now what you don't want to listen to
Is what I'm asking you, but

Nothing I wanna buy
Just another guy
Waking up to another bad trade off
Between the sheets and a better life
What kinda fool am I
Trying to guess what I'm so afraid of
When I've got me on my side
My true love story's turning into a fable
I think I might skip the end
Turn my head and that table
Ch 1:
Hey you, little boy blue
Were you trying to break my heart now?
[Yeah yeah yeah yeah]
Oh, you, wanna touch and go
For a little ride
Think you've got everything
Well I just can't see anything
That I'd ever ever ever wanna buy
Just another day
Just another day paid off
My investment's doing fine
Now I've stripped away
Everything I thought I was made of
I've got something inside
Don't need pretending when I sit at the table
I've got my happy ending
Just me and my fable
Oh - no doubt about it
Oh - I can live without it
Oh - don't need an answer
Cos there isn't any question in my mind
Ch 2:
Hey you, little boy blue
Here's a little head start now
Oh, look at them go for a little ride
Said you've got everything
But you're just some bad medicine
I'm not taking
Just to keep me alive
close
I'm screaming
1. I look at strangers
Strangers look at me
And I look back and wonder
What's in them
But not in me
I'm in danger
You said that you knew me
So I opened up
But could you see inside of me?
Or hear my prayer
Or touch me there
Or clean the window to my heart?
I'm bleeding - somebody heal me
I'm screaming - somebody hear me out
Hear me out, hear me out
2. People smiling
I wonder if they'd smile
If someone took away their love
And all their love had died?
I was blinded
Staring at a smile
That tried to kill me
But leave me alive
Without a prayer
No one to touch me there
Or clean the window to my heart
I'm bleeding - somebody heal me
I'm screaming - somebody hear me out
Hear me out, hear me out
Break: People around me
No one takes my hand
My thoughts surround me
My only friends
The party's going on
But it's all inside my head
I'm bleeding - somebody heal me
I'm screaming - I'm screaming
Out, screaming out
Screaming
I'm screaming - someone believe me
I'm screaming - somebody lead me out
Lead me out, lead me out
close
I don't know why
1. Our love is broken, the lines are down
Words all spoken, the fire's out
My heart's stopped weeping, but your heart is crying so loud
Ch:
I don't know why you can't take it like a man
Although I tried, I can't get you to understand
It's killing you, but you'll see
There's more to life than me
Though you feel you can't go on
I don't know why
2. Keep my picture you held from the start
Keep hold of the memories now we're apart
Hold me forever and ever alone in the arms of your heart
Ch
Believe me, you're killing me
How long did you think I could last
Believe me, you're giving me
A future that's only a part of the past
[You're killing me!]

Don't tango on my heart
I found a situation
So last night I let my life go
Now my friends say maybe
I must be kinda crazy
Getting that close
But it's hopeless
So all I've got to say is
Take me apart
But don't tango on my heart
I walk around in a daydream
It's unreal
I can talk but I can't hear what I say
I just keep playing
The song they kept on playing
When I held you close
And I knew
Oh I knew you would
Take me apart
Maybe tango on my heart
Don't stop killing me now
Let me wrap myself
Around your finger now
When I shut my eyes
It gets me high
Of all the girls and all the lives
And you walked in to mine
And I'm flying, flying, flying
Take me apart
Don't tango on my heart
Don't bring me down
Just spin me round and round
and round and round and
Take me apart
Just tango on my heart
Take me to town
Let me go down for the third time while you
Tango on my
Tango on my
Tango on my heart

Don't ask me if I ski in Aspen
1. Whiter than white
Coming down the mountain
She could smile the whitest smile
And gather people round
All I can do
Is turn a deeper shade of blue
But I would give my life
If you would bounce that
Smile to me and back to you
Ch.1
Don't ask me if I ski in Aspen
I'm an ordinary guy
I don't think I could take you there
This summer I'll be back in Akron
Under ordinary skies
And I'll be thinking of you there
2. Whiter than white
The colour of surrender
She won't wear tonight
As she folds in my arms
All I wanted to do
Was climb the highest mountain
That's all I was asking you
But if we can't go down that mountain
I won't stand in line again
Ch.1
In my mind I see reflections
An echo of another life
Was it love
Or just a trick of light
In your eyes?
Ch.2
Don't ask me if I ski in Aspen
It's another kind of world - I don't think I could take you there
This summer I'll be taking asprin
Or some other kinda girl - pretending I could really care
She left me shaking there in Aspen
God, I almost touched the sky - as I was coming up for air
I should have known she wasn't asking
For an ordinary guy - so I guess I won't see you there

Garcon
1. The city shined that night on me and that special girl
You know, the kind you're always dreaming of
Tall and young, well a little younger than me and that's what this song is all
about
I said hey, waiter bring me my wine
But he brought some spirit I hadn't drunk since 69
All the same I said here's looking at you kid
But it tasted strange and made me scratch my head and think
Now how was I to know, how could I see
That it's not just a feeling coming over me
Ch 1:
Garcon, garcon - my drink tastes funny now there's something wrong
Garcon, garcon - where's this spirit coming from?
Garcon, garcon - monsieur it's that lady there
Where?!
Garcon - that's no lady that's my
2. I knew that turned down smile and those steely eyes
And that chewing sound as she said
If sadder that sad, really sad, was a place then you'd live there
And left me wondering if I'd ever have more sense
Than I've got hair on my head
And how sometimes things just fall into your lap
But me, it was my dinner instead
And I watched the young girl fly
As I cleaned up all the food on my fly
Ch 2:
Garcon, garcon - my shirt's all stained and my baby's all gone
Garcon, garcon - hey can you tell me what went wrong
Garcon, garcon - monsieur but you've got this song
Garcon, garcon - well since you put it that way...

Deeper and deeper
1. You are fire, I am water
But I could never put you out
And you could turn me into mist
And would disappear no doubt
In stories of wonder
And the world you turn around
I could feel I'm drowning
If that's what it's all about
But you give me vision
So let me give you my sound
And let us turn our minds on
Looking at amazing you
Are you listing, I'm amazing too
And maybe I'm falling
I'm falling
I'm falling
Ch:
Deeper and deeper inside you
I'm not ever coming out
You're the fire in my life
You are the difference, no doubt
Between living and dying
Living and dying inside
2. You've got a room with pictures
That could take my breath away
I've got a room with candles
We can't blow out
Cos we're breathless just the same
And this song is your secret something
No one can sell or buy
Leave the golden dragons on display
You've got a wooden horse to ride
Cos you told me I've got you
But you don't know how
Don't know how I got through
But now the layers are all down
Now we're looking from the inside out
To where you say "you got me"
And I've got you
And I'm falling
I'm falling Ch
3. You are fire, I am water
But I will never put you out
And you won't turn me into mist
And I won't disappear, no doubt

The best thing about London Town (is me and you)
1. I got to thinking
Just the other day
If Camden and the flat we shared
Looks different today
I still smile when I hear
That bed still squeaking in my ear
The beer stains on the wall
And all tomorrow's parties
You liked dancing - I liked to play
Reabok-a-rebop saxophone
Tramp and Jo Jo's Jazz Cafe
Meet new people at the disco
Love on the green
Two hearts beating on the step machine
And life rolled into one day - and
Ch 1: Everyone's your friend
All around the City
And Everything is beautiful
When you're young and pretty
The streets are paved with diamonds
And there's just so much to do
But the best thing about London Town
Is me and you
2. We crossed the river
(Now) you don't dance anymore
And I can't play while I'm away
We got loaded - you got bored
We got a house - it's so nice
To SW your money -
So why did you go?
But life's a gas - and if you ask
What are you doing Sunday (I say)
One and one - can be fun
(Look out - there's a monster coming)
And I can't touch my toes
I've forgotten how this song goes
And there's a saxaphone
At the bottom of the River Wandle
Ch 2: But everyone's my friend
Everyone's my buddy
They're riding in my car
They're trying to help me spend my money
And I could buy a diamond
Hold it up so I could see
That the best thing around London Town
Is me and me
3. I got to thinking
Just the other day
If I'd learnt to dance
Would it be different today?
Cos it's raining, it's pouring
God I hate this weather
Put me on the bus
To where the dance goes on forever
CH 3: And everyone's your friend
All around the City
Everything is beautiful
And we're still young and pretty
The streets are paved with diamonds
And there's just so much to do
And the best thing about London Town's
Still me and you

Sally is damn good now
Sally took my last words into the night
Leaving my emotions stopped in the half-light
Stopped in the half-light, Sally's there shining bright
I should've known you never hold hands with a jewel
She'll take you for a fool
As she marches another boy, fast toy
All around the pool that I'm crying into
Thought we were strangers in love
Perfect strangers
Trying to arrange for a love
To invade us
All around the world
People say the word
Falling for the girl
And coming out and saying it first
I could feel the moment slip out of my hands
People tell me Sally's started living in London now
I can feel my fingers touch the dial
Trying to touch that smile
And bring it back somehow
People say she cut a dash standing in the hall
Walking to the door on the arm of an American boy with a new toy
And a big American car
She was a stranger to love
Perfect stranger
Just re-arranging for love
To evade her
All around the world
People say their love is true
But I just found a girl
Who couldn't say it too
Just another nearly-made-it filed away
All around the world
People say the word
Falling for the girl
And coming out and saying it first
All around the world
People tell me Sally's damn good now
And in another world
I made it come true

Puffed Daddy - don't bother rapping it
Hey listen up, stand to attention
The father's a bad mother of invention
Worse than detention, badder than Latin declension
Here to talk and walk you to the bridge
Across my g-g-generation
Makes yours look like a s-s sad relation
You want me to tune to a station that plays that jam
Take a brain scan, I'm the scam, I'm the Royal scam
You can't even spread jam
Cos I've got the bread, man, in fact I even own the bread van
So go ahead, talk about your new skank, handbag, punk, funk, Jamaican skunk
And that 2 beat groove
I could play the Stairway to Heaven solo when you were two!
Now I'm supposed to be fazed, dazed and outraged
With all the cussing and fussing
From that M&M chap
Well I can say shit, ass, dick and balls too
You f***ing twat
So don't take the piss and diss me
Show me some respect and miss me
Tell me you need to be young and black to rap?
Well, I'm nearly 50 and fat so screw that!
Ch: Hey all the young dudes
Living my life over
Boogaloo dudes
We're only rock and rollers
2. Hey, used to be I was a sex machine too
Before you turned me into the not-so-lean money machine that feeds you
Hay maker to the piss-takers, easy A-grading
Sex and tex-mexed, disaffected, injected, pre-selected and perfected
You gotta new record - I broke it
Gotta new pipe - I smoked it
Got wood - I solid-oaked it
So tell me when you can buy what you can afford like me
Don't need to drive a Ford like me
Walk, talk and pork the sword like me
Play off 24 like me
And don't try to appease my heebie jeebies
With the Micky D's freebies and MTV's
Wake up please and smell the coffee, read the tea leaves
Ch: Hey all the young dudes
I'm watching you
Living my life over
Boogaloo dudes
Me and you
We're all just rock and rollers
Break: Hey you all telling me this, telling me that
Telling me cramming a lot of words
Into a sentence is where it's at
Can't make up my mind if it's you talking
Or I'm at the race track
And what's that about lyrical gansters
People called Biggy and Tupac
What's that - 4 cans short of a 6 pack?
And something about female dogs getting smacked?
Well I don't need to call myself a nigger
To be bigger than Biggy or get jiggy jiggy
With an ass and shaky titties
Can Biggy take you to the bridge?
Can Biggy take you to the bridge?
3. I see you watching Ozzy on the MTV
I see you watching Ozzy on the MTV
You want money for nothing but chicks and nothing come free
And Ozzy doesn't bite bats no more and try to kill himself
And Alice's dead babies have grown up
Just like you - taking things off my shelf
And me, I don't smoke, I only mow grass
Row fast, blow my abs out
Wrestling with my jeans trying to get my ass out
Buying from the catalogues
Watching travelogues
Going to Prague and Tallin with my friends to check the candy floss
It's my birthday, it's my birthday
Don't want a hug or "love you daddy" on a mug
I wanna Harley
I wanna Harley
I wanna fit inside the pants I used to wear
When I went to parties
I'm the balls of the dog
But you can't admit it
If it's too hard to swallow
Spit it
You want me to fill - your bucket
You can't get a girl - get lucky
You think I'm a complete - muppet
You want more money - f**k it

Gordon Brown
Gordon Brown, what have you done
I thought I was living in England
Throughout the land
You built castles of sand
All falling down
Gordon Brown
Gordon Brown, here is the catch
Golden Rule: it has to be paid back
Hospital cuts
For the knives in our guts
You only frown
Gordon Brown
Gordon Brown, fine looking mess
Lost my job, now you lost my address
Pension is gone, like all the non-doms
Trousers are down, Gordon Brown
Gordon, my life's on tick
Your hospitals make me sick
Our houses are worth jack sh*t
Gordon, why don't you quit right now?
Gordon the cupboard's bare
Gordon the kids don't care
Life can be so unfair
Tell that to the boys out there
Gordon the path you tread
It's making you look half dead
But Gordon don't be upset
You did your best
You did your best, Gordon
Gordon Brown!

Come on England
Come on England
Hands up high with a glint in your eye
And give it all for England
It can't be long now
We'll get on kicks like '66
Bend it - like Beckham
Strike it - like Owen
Win it all and live forever
One-nil, Two-nil, Three-nil, Four-nil, Five,
Keeping England's dream alive
Come on England
Come on England
It's your moment,
Give us everything
We are the best
So, forget all the rest
We're all singing,
Come on England
Listen, can you hear?
Score one more, you'll hear us roar
And give our all for England
Cross it - like Gerrard
Lob it - like Lampard
Win it all and live forever...
