Kids Of Today
04:31
|
|||
Blond streaks in their hair
Shirts worn short so their bellies are bare
Ponytail or fringe
Fake tan making their skin look orange
Stuck to their mobile phones
Looking like a bunch of clones
Binge drinking on a saturday night
Any excuse to get in a fight.
What about individuality?
How about a little eccentricity?
What's wrong with originality, yeah?
The shaven headed dudes
With their racist attitudes
Reading Nuts and Zoo
Thinking that it's cool
In their ugly little cars
Sound system booming four to the bar
And the bands all sound the same
And they all got stupid names
How about a little creativity?
What happened to respectability?
What about a bit of common decency, yeah?
It's the kids of today
What happened to responsibility?
What about a bit of spontaneity?
What's wrong with solidarity, yeah?
The pop tarts on TV
Flashing their knickers for all to see
and it won't be long I know
Before someone gets their tits out on a video
And reality TV
Celebrates mediocrity
So how can I say
I got faith in the kids of today?
Things aren't the way they oughta be
Not the world I want for my daughter, no
Think ya free, but somebody bought ya, oh yeah
It's the kids of today
I said someone better pray
For the kids of today
Yeah the kids of today
They ain't got nothing to say

Don't You Fall
03:27
|

Don't you fall for it
Don't you fall for it
I've lived on this planet for fifty years
I seen a lotta pain n' I seen a lotta tears
Too many people tryna tell you what to do
Like somehow they think they know better than you
I'm not taking anymore
No no no
Not taking anymore
Trust in yourself n' do what feels right
No two potatoes are ever alike
Try to stand out, don't try to fit in
Be true to your heart, don't let them win
Don't you fall for it
Don't you fall for it
People keep tryna getcha to conform
All my life I've never met anyone normal
Everyone's weird but we're taught to suppress it
Show it too much n' you might get arrested
I'm not faking anymore
No no no
I'm not taking anymore
Living their lives with greed n' lust
Look in their eyes all you'll see is mistrust
Fake smiles limp handshakes they say they're your friends
Think for yourself, they'll soon drop the pretence
Don't you fall for it
Don't you fall for it
All of their scheming is just to control
So we don't notice just what they stole
They're tryna convince their illusions are real
So they can continue to lie cheat n' steal
Well I'm breaking down the door
Yeah yeah yeah
I'm not taking anymore
Lift up your eyes, see the skies thru the smoke
If we can believe in ourselves, we have hope
Don't let them tell ya how to be you
We are the many, they are the few
Don't you fall

How did they build the pyramids?
Is there life on Mars?
What’s the sound of one hand clapping?
How do ships get in jars?
Is the Pope a catholic?
Who lives in the castle?
And how the hell could you fall in love
With such an arsehole?
How long is a piece of string?
What will happen tomorrow?
Is there more to life than this?
Must it be filled with sorrow?
Why did the chicken cross the road?
What’s inside the parcel?
And how the hell could you fall in love
With such an arsehole?
These questions keep on worrying me;
They are life’s unsolved mysteries.
If you’ve an answer, tell me now.
I won’t believe you, anyhow.
What’s the price of fish today?
Is there life after death?
Does God exist or not?
How much time have we left?
When will I be famous?
Is it worth the hassle?
And how the hell could you fall in love
With such an asshole?

I wanna live in a council house
I'm no better than anyone else
I think they should build some more
they could make them nice now I am sure
I wanna sense of community
working class solidarity
someone else to do the repairs
and fit a carpet up the stairs
I don't want the right to buy
just somewhere to live warm and dry
I'm no better than anyone else
I wanna live in a council house

Clickety clack
Your lover's coming back
I'm riding the train
On my way to see you again
On the Summer Express
You'll be wearing
your brand new red dress
Yes
The sunshine on your face
With your hat that's trimmed with lace
When we had our last embrace
Now I'm riding the train
Summer Express
I'm on my way to you girl
And when I get there
I'm gonna ride the line
All the way down
Come here baby
Let me ring your bell
The sunshine on your face
With your hat that's trimmed with lace
I'm on my way to you
Summer Express
Can't wait to see your brand new dress
Clickety clack
Your lover's back
Riding on the train
Clickety clack
Your lover's coming back
On the Summer Express

Jug O' Fluff
02:05
|
|||
Scrape the fluff right off yer screen
Put it in yer jug
Fill yer fluff jug to the top
Don't ya waste a single drop
Drop a drip under the rug
Lick the fluffy jug
Run yer finger around the rim
Spit the bugs out in the bog
Wash yer tash under the tap
Clean the screen n put it back
Hang yer hose out thru the gap
Press the button, shut the flap
Spin around till it gets hot
Now spit it out
Hang yer limp hose down the drain
Pull it back n start again
Fluff jug, jug o' fluff (X3)
I love my jug o' fluff
I love my little fluff jug
My lovely little fluff jug
Her lovely little fluff jug
I just can't get enough of
The jug o' fluff

The Butcher
02:32
|
|||
There’s a man who kills for money
Sheep, cows, pigs and bunnies.
Smiling as he wields the axe.
It’s the butcher.
Dead flesh is his trade.
Guts on the floor, blood on the blade.
Laughing as he cuts and hacks.
He’s the butcher.
Could you do it yourself?
Kill a creature to put in your mouth?
I bet you wouldn’t, you wouldn’t do it would yer?
You leave it to the butcher.
Think about the animal’s life,
Bred to die under the knife.
Who’s the man who makes a killing?
It’s the butcher.
Selling death by the pound.
Dismembered bodies displayed around.
This is war; it makes the till ring
For the butcher.
Can you understand?
The beast’s blood is on your hands.
So tell me if you can, could yer,
Who’s the butcher?

Gotta Find A Way
02:31
|
|||
When I saw you on the corner baby
You looked so fine
Knew I had to find a way
To make you mine
I'm trying
You're smiling
I'm flying
Baby can I find a way?
Can I find a way to get to your heart?
If it takes me all night
Gotta find a way
If it takes me all night n' day
Gotta find a way to your heart
Well I must be dreaming
Or are you giving me the eye?
I'm feeling excited
O my O my
We're walking
We're talking
You're laughing
Baby can I find a way?
Can I find a way to get to your heart?
If it takes me all night
Gotta find a way
If it takes me all night n' day
Gotta find a way to your heart

Mother (Nature)
04:27
|
|||
Tidal waves hurricanes floods n earthquakes breaking
Mother Earth shaking just to see who's awakened
How much more can this mother take?
How long before the motherfucker breaks?
The icing is melting off the top of the cake
Try to clean up but we keep stepping on the rake
Smack in the face with the handle
Snuffing out the candles on our next birthday cake
Mother Nature, Mother Nature
Open yuh eyes n you'll see we're all doomed
But we still keep driving around in our cars n choking on the fumes
The fishes are floating out on the surface of the lake
Every motherfucker grabbing just as much as they can take
How much more can Mother Earth take?
The icing is melting off the top of the cake
Try to clean up but we keep stepping on the rake
Smack in the face with the handle
Snuffing out the candles on our next birthday cake
Mother Nature, Mother Nature
People are starving in the droughts n the heat
We're cutting down the forests just to make some more meat
Leaders politicians businessmen all on the make
How much more can poor Mother Earth take?
Death rays drop down through the hole in the sky (shit!)
Yet still some motherfuckers will try n deny it
If you believe their scheming, I know you're dreaming
Wake up, listen, you'll hear Mother Earth screaming
This is a call out to the wise and the restless
Rise up n fight the powers that be that suppress us
I think it's about time the motherfuckers addressed this
What I wanna know is, just whose fucking mess is this?
How much more can poor Mother Earth take?
How long until the motherfucker breaks?
Someone's been spitting on my next birthday cake
So who'll make me another? We only get one mother
Mother Nature, Mother Nature

On a night like this
Won't you give me a kiss?
Cos I saw that look in your eye
You know I just can't let it pass by
Can I get you on your own?
Why dontcha tell all your friends that we just wanna be alone?
Come with me baby, I wanna take you home
Whaddya say girl?
Come home with me
I got something to show ya
With your touch of bliss
And your teasing kiss
You know you've started my fire
Come here now baby, feel my desire
Move it a little closer
Hold on tight, I'm gonna take you on a roller coaster
I love ya baby, I love you the most
Come on baby
Climb aboard
Hold on tight now, here we go
On a night like this (X2)

I'll Never Cry Again
05:44
|
|||
You danced upon the pieces of my broken heart,
You treated me just like a toilet.
I thought that you were mine and we would never part,
Why did you have to go and spoil it?
All the tears I cried were just a waste of time,
And I know I’ll never cry again.
You just washed me out and hung me on the line,
And I know I’ll never cry again.
I’ll never cry again.
You left me feeling so dejected and betrayed
When I found out about your lover.
You tore out my heart and threw my soul away,
Then stayed around to watch me suffer.
All the tears I cried were just a waste of time,
And I know I’ll never cry again.
You just washed me out and hung me on the line,
And I know I’ll never cry again.
I’ll never cry again.
Sometimes I wonder what I saw in you,
Now I know your heart is black;
When all the time you were deceiving me
With someone else behind my back.
Last time I saw you girl, I was drinking in the bar,
And I knew our love was dead:
And, as you kissed your lover underneath the stars,
I tipped my beer over your head.
All the tears I cried were just a waste of time,
And I know I’ll never cry again.
You just washed me out, but now I’m feeling fine
‘cos I know I’ll never cry again
I’ll never cry again.

Kick The Queen
01:31
|
|||
I wanna kick the queen out of Buckingham palace
and turn it into a shelter for the homeless
I wanna kick the bastards out of all the castles
Charlie is a wimp and Philip is an arsehole
all the princes and princesses what have they ever done
'cept kill foxes and park their choppers in their girlfriends garden
I wanna cut the queens face off of all the currency
I wanna issue a notice of royal redundancy
I want them to give back all the land they've stolen
all the crown jewels and everything that's golden
the royal family and their cronies I'll be so glad when they're gone
they're parasites to me a bunch of phoneys, yeah I'm a republican
I wanna wanna kick the queen
I wanna wanna kick the queen
I wanna wanna kick the queen oh yeah

Constantly Falling
03:07
|
|||
Holding tight
Together in the night
It's gonna be allright
We have the strength to fight
Together
There's a place
Hidden deep behind my face
That only you can trace
With your soft embrace
With your soft embrace
We can stand against the storm
We will rise to meet the dawn
And if you call I'll come to you
Hold and comfort you
And you're coming too
Constantly falling for you
We can fly
Into the starry sky
Love takes us up so high
Our souls unify
Together
Just like this
Each movement feels like bliss
Lost in our loving mist
Lips press up to kiss
Just like this
Can you feel the thunder crashing?
Did you see the lightning flashing?
And through it all I'll follow you
And you'll follow too
Love will swallow me and you
Constantly falling for you.

She's A Rebel
04:28
|
|||
Likes her music really loud, always stands out in the crowd
She never wears a dress, cos she's different from the rest
Hangs round with the older boys, breaks their hearts like they were toys
Teachers think that she's a fool, cos she's always skiving school
She's a rebel
Oh yeah
Stays out late every night, sometimes she starts a fight
Nevewr says just where she's bin, - in the bar, drinking gin
Got a tattoo on her bum that she hasn't shown her mum
Parents think that she's gone too far, cos she never wears a bra
She's a rebel
Oh yeah
I want to make her mine, I know that she's the one
If I could win her love I know we'd have lots of fun
Hangs round with the older boys, - making love, and making noise
Parents think that she's gone too far, cos she never wears a bra
Got a tattoo on her bum that she hasn't shown her mum
She dosen't have any shame, - she's a rebel, she can't be tamed
She's a rebel
Oh yeah

In This Day And Age
02:45
|

In this day and age
You can find a page for everything
In this day and age
Take a photograph
Send it round the world for a laugh
Living in this day and age
You can be a star
You can drive a car
But for how much more?
In this day and age
Endless staying rage
And let's stay enraged
Someone turn the page
And our hearts will burn with rage
Endless staying rage
We're gonna fail the test
Unrest is all that's left
Unless they engage
In this dying age
In this day and age
You can find a sage for everyone
And they stay engaged
You can have your cake
But eat it up before its sell by date
Living in this day and age
You can breathe the air
Until it isn't there
Don't say that it's not fair
Living in this day and age
In this day and age
