You think we look pretty good together
You think my shoes are made of leather But I'm a substitute for another guy I look pretty tall but my heels are high The simple things you see are all complicated I look pretty young, but I'm just back-dated, yeah Substitute your lies for fact I can see right through your plastic mac I look all white, but my dad was black My fine looking suit is really made out of sack I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth The north side of my town faced east, and the east was facing south And now you dare to look me in the eye Those crocodile tears are what you cry It's a genuine problem, you won't try To work it out at all you just pass it by, pass it by Substitute me for him Substitute my coke for gin Substitute you for my mum At least I'll get my washing done |

No one knows what it's like
To be the bad man To be the sad man Behind blue eyes No one knows what it's like To be hated To be fated To telling only lies But my dreams They aren't as empty As my conscience seems to be I have hours, only lonely My love is vengeance That's never free No one knows what it's like To feel these feelings Like I do And I blame you No one bites back as hard On their anger None of my pain and woe Can show through But my dreams They aren't as empty As my conscience seems to be I have hours, only lonely My love is vengeance That's never free When my fist clenches, crack it open Before I use it and lose my cool When I smile, tell me some bad news Before I laugh and act like a fool And if I swallow anything evil Put your finger down my throat And if I shiver, please give me a blanket Keep me warm, let me wear your coat No one knows what it's like To be the bad man To be the sad man Behind blue eyes |

Out here in the fields
I fight for my meals I get my back into my living I don't need to fight To prove I'm right I don't need to be forgiven Don't cry Don't raise your eye It's only teenage wasteland Sally ,take my hand Travel south crossland Put out the fire Don't look past my shoulder The exodus is here The happy ones are near Let's get together Before we get much older Teenage wasteland It's only teenage wasteland Teenage wasteland Oh, oh Teenage wasteland They're all wasted! |

Who are you?
Who who who who? Who are you? Who who who who? Who are you? Who who who who? Who are you? Who who who who? I woke up in a Soho doorway A policeman knew my name He said ″You can go sleep at home tonight If you can get up and walk away″ I staggered back to the underground And the breeze blew back my hair I remember throwin′ punches around And preachin′ from my chair chorus: Well, who are you? (Who are you? Who who who who?) I really wanna know (Who are you? Who who who who?) Tell me, who are you? (Who are you? Who who who who?) ′Cause I really wanna know (Who are you? Who who who who?) I took the tube back out of town Back to the Rollin′ Pin I felt a little like a dying clown With a streak of Rin Tin Tin I stretched back and I hiccupped And looked back on my busy day Eleven hours in the Tin Pan God, there′s got to be another way Who are you? Ooh wa ooh wa ooh wa ooh wa.. Who are you? Who who who who? Who are you? Who who who who? Who are you? Who who who who? Who are you? Who who who who? (chorus) I know there′s a place you walked Where love falls from the trees My heart is like a broken cup I only feel right on my knees I spit out like a sewer hole Yet still recieve your kiss How can I measure up to anyone now After such a love as this? Who are you? Who, who, who, who? Who are you? Who, who, who, who? Who are you? Who, who, who, who? Who are you? Who, who, who, who? I woke up in a Soho doorway A policeman knew my name He said ″You can go sleep at home tonight If you can get up and walk away″ I staggered back to the underground And the breeze blew back my hair I remember throwin′ punches around And preachin′ from my chair chorus: Well, who are you?

Local Lad:
Ever since I was a young boy, I've played the silver ball. )From Soho down to Brighton I must have played them all. But I ain't seen nothing like him In any amusement hall... That deaf dumb and blind kid Sure plays a mean pin ball ! He stands like a statue, Becomes part of the machine. Feeling all the bumpers Always playing clean. He plays by intuition, The digit counters fall. That deaf dumb and blind kid Sure plays a mean pin ball ! He's a pin ball wizard There has got to be a twist. A pin ball wizard, S'got such a supple wrist. 'How do you think he does it? I don't know! What makes him so good?' He ain't got no distractions Can't hear those buzzers and bells, Don't see lights a flashin' Plays by sense of smell. Always has a replay, 'n' never tilts at all... That deaf dumb and blind kid Sure plays a mean pin ball. I thought I was The Bally table king. But I just handed My pin ball crown to him. Even my usual table He can beat my best. His disciples lead him in And he just does the rest. He's got crazy flipper fingers Never seen him fall... That deaf dumb and blind kind Sure plays a mean pin ball.!!!!! |

See me, feel me, heal me
Listening to you I get the music Gazing at you I get the heat Following you I climb the mountain I get excitement at your feet Right behind you I see the millions On you I see the glory From you I get opinions From you I get the story |

Only love
Can make it rain The way the beach Is kissed by the sea Only love Can make it rain Like the sweat of lovers Layin' in the fields Love Reign o'er me Love Reign o'er me Rain on me Rain on me Only love Can bring the rain That makes you yearn To the sky Only love Can bring the rain That falls like tears From all high Love Reign o'er me Rain on me Rain on me Love Reign o'er me Rain on me Rain on me On the dry and dusty road The nights we spent apart alone I need to get back home To cool cool rain I can't sleep and I lay and I think The night is hot and black as ink Woo Oh God I need a drink Of cool cool rain Love Reign o'er me Rain over me Over me Over me Love Reign o'er me On me Love ... |

Down at the Astoria the scene was changing
Bingo and rock were pushing out x-rating We were the first band to vomit at the bar And find the distance to the stage too far Meanwhile it's getting late at ten o'-clock Rock is dead they say Long live rock Long live rock! I need it every night Long live rock! Come on and join the line Long live rock! Be it dead or alive People walk in sideways pretending that they're leaving We put on our makeup and work out all the lead-ins Jack is in the alley selling tickets made in Hong Kong Promoter's in the pay box wondering where the band's gone Back in the pub the governor stops the clock Rock is dead they say Long live rock Long live rock! I need it every night Long live rock! Come on and join the line Long live rock! Be it dead or alive Landslide, rocks are falling, falling down upon our very heads We tried but you were yawning. Look again Rock is dead Rock is dead Rock is dead The place is really jumping to the high watt amps 'Til a twenty inch cymbal fell and cut the lamps In the blackout they danced right into the aisle And as the doors fly open even the promoter smiles Someone takes his pants off and the rafters knock Rock is dead they say Long live rock Long live rock! I need it every night Long live rock! Come on and join the line Long live rock! Be it dead or alive |

We'll be fighting in the streets With our children at our feet And the morals that they worship will be gone And the men who spurred us on Sit in judgement of all wrong They decide and the shotgun sings the song I'll tip my hat to the new constitution Take a bow for the new revolution Smile and grin at the change all around Pick up my guitar and play Just like yesterday Then I'll get on my knees and pray We don't get fooled again The change, it had to come We knew it all along We were liberated from the foe, that's all And the world looks just the same And history ain't changed 'Cause the banners, they'd all flown in the last war I'll tip my hat to the new constitution Take a bow for the new revolution Smile and grin at the change all around Pick up my guitar and play Just like yesterday Then I'll get on my knees and pray We don't get fooled again No, no! I'll move myself and my family aside If we happen to be left half alive I'll get all my papers and smile at the sky For I know that the hypnotized never lie Do ya? Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! There's nothing in the street Looks any different to me And the slogans are out-phased, by-the-bye And the party on the left Is now party on the right And their beards have all grown longer overnight I'll tip my hat to the new constitution Take a bow for the new revolution Smile and grin at the change all around Pick up my guitar and play Just like yesterday Then I'll get on my knees and pray We don't get fooled again Don't get fooled again No, no! Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Meet the new boss Same as the old boss |

See that girl who's smiling so brightly,
Well I reckon she's cool and I reckon rightly, She's good looking and I ain't frightened, I'm gonna show you why they call me lightning. Hey little girl who's dancing so lightly, My XKE is shining so brightly, The noose around us is slowly tightening, I'm gonna show you why they call me lightning. Hey little girl who's dancing so lightly, My XKE is shining so brightly, The noose around us is slowly tightening, I'm gonna show you why they call me lightning. You can't catch me, I'm as fast as can be, Call me lightning, I'm as fast as can be, No you can't catch me, no you can't catch me. |
