I don't want to be here on my own Hungry as a dog without a bone
Don't want a postcard Showing some distant view
Just want some one to Laugh when I blow a fuse
I don't want to be here on my own Hungry as a dog without a bone I don't want to be alone I don't want to cry and moan
I don't want to be alone I don't want to cry and moan
Nobody can hear a single word I say
As I walk the floor Seems there's nothing more Time to go to sleep once more
But in my dreams there's a place Where it's never to late I see nothing has changed And that's where you still remain
Don't want a picture Don't want a postcard Don't want a picture Don't want a postcard Don't want a picture Don't want a postcard Don't want a picture Don't want a postcard Don't want a picture
Hey it's no surprise that you're going tonight Well alright, had a funny feeling I don't want to go on wasting your time Well alright, had a funny feeling
That came the whole morning through It's not hard to do I'm just not getting through
Don't live a lie I'd rather say goodbye Please don't explain No use pretending it's the same
You don't have to tell me I've known it all day Well alright, had a funny feeling I don't see a happy ending coming our way Well alright, had a funny feeling
That came the whole morning through It's not hard to do I'm just not getting through
Don't live a lie I'd rather say goodbye Please don't explain No use pretending it's the same
Hey it's no surprise that you're going tonight Well alright, had a funny feeling I don't want to go on wasting your time Well alright, had a funny feeling
Don't live a lie I'd rather say goodbye Please don't explain No use pretending it's the same
Beneath the scattered light Across bare hills of night I dreamt a train just missed me Another came in sight
I ran across the track Then had to turn right back A new one came straight at me The next behind my back
Nowhere else to turn to There are walls on either side Why must the embankment be so high Beside myself with weakness And faint from running wild I could hear the sound of burning coal
They never seem to stop But always get to smoke Right out between two tunnels I ran until I woke
In a very large factory I belong And I work the night shift all year long Old Freddy on a chainsaw lost his feet Thinking 'bout a blonde he'll never meet Tried to take his life again the other week Keep your chin up, haven't a care 'ave you? Just join the party, allegiance I swear
Eee what's the matter with Arthur Royal? I'll go and top up his batteries and check the oil Young Arthur blew a fuse two days ago, Set himself alight, you didn't know Nearly burnt us down the twit just had to go Take your chances, live on hot air (wouldn't you?) Chance of promotion, I'll take that chair
Dreaming of golden sands and palm trees I said file these quickly and then staple these Get yourself altered undo the seam, and get back just In time for tea (and don't be late mind)
Nobody's perfect least of all me Married the job at age 23 Just keep my nose clean egg chips and beans I'm always full of steam
...I could never afford to go to Butlins ...But I did manage to go to Majorca once ...Wish I hadn't bothered... ...Past the entrance, by I bored myself ...Who are all these people in my office, anyway? ...Who are they? Where do they come from, do y'know them?
Find me ninety miles from Cuba In a land that has no borders If the bomb can do it for you We refuse to take your orders We remember what you taught us
Time to get out, while you can
23 and one half billion Joints were smoked by lunchtime that Thursday On the Steppes it's not so easy Vodka helps them sing much stronger Place your bets which side lives longer
Endless fog and rain Grounded 'plane There an unshaved man Was exchanged
Wonder if, a cold grey sky They led me here to die (You can telephone from here) When you wish (Time to run away from here) Won't be missed at all
Turn the snow to red Someone fled Tell the viewers Were you starved or fed?
Running wild, a hunted deer Her eyes were filled with fear (People dream in colour here) So they said (Shine your shoes from ear to ear) Right or left, the west
