Why make the past your sacred cow?
I guess you've changed, you've changed and how Yeah, yeah, yeah Fruit's grown rotten on the bough Reap what you sow, with a counterfeit plough Yeah, yeah, yeah That was then but this is now More sacrifices than an Aztec priest Standing here straining at that leash All fall down Can't complain, musn't grumble Help yourself to another peace of apple crumble And consequently: Hearts of oak are charged and blistered Russians should be baby-sitted Americans enlisted That was then but this is now That was then but this is now That was then but this is now |

Love's a dangerous language
Survey the damage See what love has done Oh, my precious darling my sacred angel Look what we've done Oh, you're scared and frightened Don't be afraid yes We'll take your problem wheel Drive it slowly to a shallow grave So in those special moments That might make you think you were happy then Moving blue through pink but you're happy now And you think you'll sink The buckle is tied for a white knuckle ride When the buckle is tied Then the judgements denied Oh, my own she vixen we're sworn to secrecy, this crime is ours Yeah, so quench your thirst And when I'm hungry I'll eat my words So in those special moments That might make you think you're happy now Moving blue through pink you were happy then But you think you'll sink The buckle is tied for a white knuckle ride When the buckle is tied, Then the judgements denied wherever we go Wherever we hide In the white of your eyes I see the feelings just died |

Hold a candle to a naked flame
Ask the atheist his Christian name Try parachuting from a burning plane Finding someone else you could blame If I ever thought you'd be lonely If I ever thought you'd be there If I ever fought the alimony Painted pony You'd be there Eskimo heart Bedouin throat A butcher trussed up in a camel hair coat A crowning in the castle A drowning in the moat Ocean dried Desert afloat If I ever thought you'd be lonely If I ever thought you'd be there If I ever fought the alimony My one and only You'd be there One for the lady One for the gent Signatures in wet cement And if you ever ask What I meant then I'd never know Then I'd never know... |

Cock a snoot,
Loop the loop, Hock the hula-hoop, But now it yo-yo'd back again Shiver me timbers, Just jumped ship with a little faith We could win the championship Parachute substitute, problem is it's soooo cute Workless, cashless, hungry and in debt Outta house, outta home, outta pocket They persuade you, That they made you then betrayed you And they blame you with the power of persuasion The power of persuasion The power of persuasion The power of persuasion You bought the troll, You bought the gonk, You took it home, and put it on a pedestal We needed a saviour, But from it's behaviour Why did it have to be so extra-terrestrial? Tax deductible. cash corruptible, Never the less another poolswinner Penniless dog tooth check, Cash and carry find a girl, Settle down and marry They persuade you, That they made you The proclaim, And they'll maim you with the power of persuasion The power of persuasion The power of persuasion The power of persuasion I sold the eskimo snow Build the skyline outta playdo Persuading you that monochrome is dayglo With the power of persuasion |

By default by design
Time after time Maybe you earned it, Maybe you spurned it But you got it... You got it Call it attraction or charm Sound the alarm Maybe you earned it, Maybe you spurned it But you got it... Yes, you got it Breaking hearts your speciality? Why did you ever have to come so close to me Was it love or morbid curiosity? Either way I'd say that love's a possibility Come a little closer, Let me see you in close detail The object of my affections Walked off in the other direction By default by design Time after time Maybe you earned it, Maybe you spurned it But you got it... You got it Call it attraction or charm Sound the alarm Maybe you earned it, Maybe you spurned it But you got it... Yes, you got it Modern day Romeo's, Modern day Juliet's Selling their love for a packet of cigarettes Still I remember the day that we first met... And yet so far, so good So what else can we ever expect? Come a little closer, let me see you in close detail The object of my affections walked off in the other direction By default by design Time after time Maybe you earned it, Maybe you spurned it But you got it... You got it Call it attraction or charm Sound the alarm Maybe you earned it, Maybe you spurned it But you got it... Yes, you got it |

Here they come,
Slumming their way outta the Jacuzzi, Well, I've lived in a slum, sugar plum, Hit and run And it did not amuse me There they go, Moving around on the radio, Well I've been on that show, Reap and sow, feed and grow And it did not amuse me Hey Citizen! Hey American! Hey Russian! Hey Citizen! Beauty stab, When the good things in life Have all grown bad, The cat's out the bag Smash and grab, burn the flag And didn't it fool me throw it out, It's not worth the paper it's written on No ifs and buts, Spending cuts, cheaper smut, They say they could use me All through summer, There's no glamour in the slammer, No glamour in the slammer, Until you make a run All through summer, the splendours Pretty slender The splendours pretty slender Until you make a run Here they come, Slumming their way out of the Jacuzzi, Well I've lived in a slum, sugar plum, Hit and run and it did not amuse me There they go, Grooving around on the radio Well I've been on that show, reap and sow Feed and grow, and it didn't amuse me Hey villager! Hey Citizen! Hey Countryman! Hey, now listen! Hey Chinaman! Hey European! Hey Russian! Hey American! Hey Cowboy! Hey Indian! Hey anyway! Hey, hey, hey Citizen! |

Not what you are,
But what you've earned Where jack-queen-king Money's concerned A friend in need is a friend in debt That kinda friend king money can forget. May those that are full get struck dumb When they tell the hungry of the good times To come, More money than sense in their defence And cheaper jokes at our expense So if your king is money Then I feel sorry for you And if you think that it's funny Then maybe you do... Maybe you do king money King money, king money The midas touch doesn't mean That much until you're crippled with greed, Using gold as a crutch or half a man For half a crown for half a kingdom For half a town No geldt-in-my-pelt-jack, No cash in my shack so tell me the things That you think I lack Just what kinda price are you willing to pay For a holiday from the royal tourniquet So if your king is money Then I feel sorry for you And if you think that it's funny Then maybe you do... Maybe you do king money King money, king money Standing by the xerox machine I want to duplicate some money Build a fortune up in black and white But I'll need a master copy. You're gonna give your love to me Shake an apple off the apple tree When she moves it's poetry Come to me now, one, two, three King ka King ka King king money Plan the perfect double murder Maybe win the pools when I get some money Honey, I'll be knee high in consumer Durables Adorables... |

With a little faith we could raise the land
With a little hope we could move as planned With a little faith we could raise the land With a little hope we could move as planned Farm the ghetto up, feed the famine down With our nose to the grindstone, ear to the ground Find a steady job, build a happy home Farm a steady crop then depose the throne We could irrigate thirst quenching lake Make a fertile place thus the desert spake Spill the feathers up, slash the silk Might as well stop boo hooing over all that spilt milk Empty tramp, screaming eye Seething lip, stop wondering why Butter mountains here, better motivate It's getting late, assassinate that hype Move against the grain, co co co co commotion Before a global war we'd better bridge the ocean Just like an open wound that forever bleeds Like an open plain in scattered seeds Or the foolish man believes all he reads He begs, he pleads |

So here we are drifting on an open sea
So here we are for all we know But then again we know For all we know, you know, you know With all the power that I possess Let's match their money with our own finesse Why should we ever have to settle for less? Why does this message always have to be... S.O.S. S.O.S. S.O.S. One cool million for one cool caress So here we are still drifting on an open sea So here we are for all we know But then again we know For all we know, you know, you know With all the power that I possess Let's match their money with our own finesse Why should we ever have to settle for less? Why does this message always have to be... S.O.S. S.O.S. S.O.S. One cool million for one so possessed |

There's a gang I've just joined
There's a gang I've just joined Three million strong you'd agree Four million strong you'd agree Enrollment was easy, so easy Getting out proves to be the difficulty From land's end to john o'groats From land's end to john o'groats They are making ends meet Mending holes in their coat Fasting and feasting on bread and margarine Burning dreams build upon buried hopes United kingdom - you'd better ring them You've a solution - you better bring them United kingdom - united kingdom You've a solution - you better bring them Opportunity, I guess they all came and went Finding it hard Finding the rent you'll find it funny With your finger running down Situations vacant In school he was an athlete Now he's not so self-assured "after all of these o-levels is this my reward? " There's a silent majority, that's seen and Never heard from charles i, charles ii To charles iii United kingdom - you'd better ring them You've a solution - you better bring them United kingdom - united kingdom This busted, rusted, upper-crusted Bankrupted done and dusted No-man-to-be-trusted united kingdom Proud to stand beneath the union jack? Happy dealing up a no ace pack? Polishing black boots Priming the riot squad There go I but for the grace of god Covering up the agony with mindless entertainment You'll be happy when they're ripping up the pavement Bringing down the axe on steelworks and foundries Someone said love knows no boundaries Close your eyes and think of england Lie back and think of her United kingdom - you better ring them You've a solution - you better bring them |

Why make the past your sacred cow?
I guess you've changed, you've changed and how Yeah, yeah, yeah Fruit's grown rotten on the bough Reap what you sow, with a counterfeit plough Yeah, yeah, yeah That was then but this is now More sacrifices than an Aztec priest Standing here straining at that leash All fall down Can't complain, musn't grumble Help yourself to another peace of apple crumble And consequently: Hearts of oak are charged and blistered Russians should be baby-sitted Americans enlisted That was then but this is now That was then but this is now That was then but this is now |
