I don't care whether you hear this
I don't care if I'm alone here singing songs to myself There's nobody else around, around Meet you up at the Indian part of the town The town's shut down, the people left with their bags Their kids so there's not a sound a sound But I must get from there to here There's a small voice crying on the other side of the river from here It's too late to phone her now What went wrong, your grades were good It would take a left wing Robin Hood to pay for school Your dad's a boozer and you keep him alive Just a minute close your eyes If we settle for this compromise I'll stay with you The river looks so good tonight I don't know what's with your friend She met a boy and at the summer's end She said she'd had enough of playing games I don't care cause I'm by myself All the dancers left but I can't dance So I will stay and clean the mess they left behind But I dream as I set to scrub all the floors, the walls I'm thinking of a song or two, a boy a girl a rendezvous Are you coming or are you not? There is nothing that would sort you out There's nothing I could say or do You're going to crash, I'll set the bails in front of you Are you coming or are you not? There is nothing that would sort you out An interesting way of life Deny yourself the benefits of being alive You slept better in a sleeping train in a shed in a station With a torch and a Woman's Realm to keep you warm To keep you company You slept better in a sleeping train in a shed in a station With a torch and a Woman's Realm to keep you company tonight |

All the way back home
I'm telling you I caught the sun Creeping up behind my shoulder And another day's begun I was following a trail I'd never been along before Chasing darkened skies above me Looking like the spring Like the winter And the morning If there's a place I want to go Then I'll be there with you 'Cos in my dreams the things I'm wishing for Keep coming true Now a new day comes Clears the darkness out of sight And the shadows that were sleeping Come and dance beneath the light And I'm trying hard to hide Keeping the sun out of my eyes Close them tight And now I'm waiting for the moon to rise Don't try to say to me That this was never meant to be 'Cos the days are long where I come from The next few days I'm free There's a train I want to catch But it won't leave here for a while Till darkness fills the eastern sky And streetlights stretch for miles Through the spring And the winter and the morning |

There's still no hotel on the moon
(I remember reading there would be a pill you could take, instead of eating a meal.) And no-one has travelled to Mars (And everyone would live in things called biospheres.) This is the year where the future was set (And everything would be virtual reality.) There's still no hotel on the moon (And virtual reality's still only a dream.) I've not seen a time machine yet This is today, but this is tomorrow Here it is, tomorrow's world This is today, but this is tomorrow Here it is, tomorrow's world I spoke on a video phone (I read a story from the past.) I played round in cyberspace too (I read a story from the past, that was set in the present.) Here's where the future was set (I read a story about the future.) And here are the things that we do This is today, but this is tomorrow Here it is, tomorrow's world This is today, but this is tomorrow Here it is, tomorrow's world |

I could hang about and burn my fingers I've been hanging out here waiting for something to start You think I'm faultless to a 't' My manner set impeccably But underneath I am the same as you I could dance all night like I'm a soul boy But I know I'd rather drag myself across the dance floor I feel like dancing on my own Where no one knows me, and where I Can cause offence just by the way I look And when I come to blows When I am numbering my foes Just hope that you are on my side my dear But it's best to finish as it started With my face head down just staring at the brown formica It's safer not to look around I can't hide my feelings from you now There's too much love to go around these days You say I've got another face That's not a fault of mine these days I'm honest, brutal and afraid of you |

I was surprised, I was happy for a day in 1975
I was puzzled by a dream, stayed with me all day in 1995 My brother had confessed that he was gay, it took the heat off me for a while He stood up with a sailor friend, made it known upon my sisters wedding day I got married in a rush to save a kid from being deported, now she's in love I was so touched, I was moved to kick the crutches from my crippled friend She was not impressed because I cured her on the Sabbath, so I went to confess When she saw the funny side, we introduced my child bride to whisky and gin The priest in the booth had a photographic memory for all he had heard He took all of my sins and he wrote a pocket novel called "The State I Am In" So I gave myself to God, there was a pregnant pause before ha said ok Now I spend my day turning tables round In Marks & Spencer's, they don't seem to mind I gave myself to sin And I've been there and back again I gave myself to providence The State That I Am In Oh love of mine, would you condescend to help me because I'm stupid and blind? Desperation is the Devil's work, it is the folly of a boys empty mind Now I'm feeling dangerous, riding on city buses for a hobby is sad Lead me to a living end, I promised that I'd entertain my crippled friend |

Because I met a kid who went through one of your sessions In his blue velour and silk You liberated A boy I never rated And now he's throwing discus For Liverpool And Widnes You liberated A boy I never rated And now he's doing business The stars of track and field, you are The stars of track and field, you are The stars of track and field are beautiful people Could I write a piece about you now that you've made it? About the hours spent, the emptiness in your training You only did it so that you could wear Your terry underwear And feel the city air Run past your body Could I write a requiem for you when you're dead? "She had the moves, she had the speed, it went to her head" She never needed anything to get her round the track But when she's on her back She had the knowledge To get her into college But whe she's on her lack She had the knowledge To get her into college |

I will confess to you Because you made me think about the times You turn the picture on to me and I'll turn over The vision was a masterpiece of comic timing But you wouldn't laugh at all And I wonder what the boy was thinking The picture was an old collage of something classical The model with a tragic air Because without a doubt he'd given up the fight The ghost of somebody at his side I will confess to you Because I didn't think about the message As I walked down the alleyway it was a Sunday And all my friends deserted me because you painted me As the fraud I really was And if you think you see with just your eyes you're mad 'Cause Lisa learned a lot from putting on a blindfold When she knew she had been bad She met another blind kid at a fancy dress It was the best sex she ever had I'll send a dress to you Because it's needing badly taken in But I was so embarressed when I missed your party It was me that paid for it eventually Because you know how much I wanted To meet your friend the star of stage and local press The dream of all the bowlie boys that hang around here And I'm no different from the rest I'm not too proud to say that I'm okay with The girl next door who's famous for showing her breasts You're not impressed by me But it's a funny way for you to tell me A whisper in a choir stall The man was talking about you simultaneously Frankly, I let my heavy eyelids flutter Because I have been sleeping badly lately I know you were historical from all the books I've read But I thought you could be bluffing And with this chance I've missed I feel remiss It's days and months before I see you again |

Because you made me think about the times You turn the picture on to me and I'll turn over The vision was a masterpiece of comic timing But you wouldn't laugh at all And I wonder what the boy was thinking The picture was an old collage of something classical The model with a tragic air Because without a doubt he'd given up the fight The ghost of somebody at his side I will confess to you Because I didn't think about the message As I walked down the alleyway it was a Sunday And all my friends deserted me because you painted me As the fraud I really was And if you think you see with just your eyes you're mad 'Cause Lisa learned a lot from putting on a blindfold When she knew she had been bad She met another blind kid at a fancy dress It was the best sex she ever had I'll send a dress to you Because it's needing badly taken in But I was so embarressed when I missed your party It was me that paid for it eventually Because you know how much I wanted To meet your friend the star of stage and local press The dream of all the bowlie boys that hang around here And I'm no different from the rest I'm not too proud to say that I'm okay with The girl next door who's famous for showing her breasts You're not impressed by me But it's a funny way for you to tell me A whisper in a choir stall The man was talking about you simultaneously Frankly, I let my heavy eyelids flutter Because I have been sleeping badly lately I know you were historical from all the books I've read But I thought you could be bluffing And with this chance I've missed I feel remiss It's days and months before I see you again |

Fox in the snow, where do you go
To find something you can eat? Cause the word out on the street is you are starving Don't let yourself grow hungry now Don't let yourself grow cold Fox in the snow Girl in the snow, where will you go To find someone that will do? To tell someone all the truth before it kills you They listen to your crazy laugh Before you hang a right And disappear from sight What do they know anyway? You'll read it in a book What do they know anyway? You'll read it in a book tonight Boy on the bike, what are you like As you cycle round the town? You're going up, you're going down You're going nowhere It's not as if they're paying you It's not as if it's fun At least not anymore When your legs are black and blue It's time to take a break When your legs are black and blue It's time to take a holiday Kid in the snow, way to go It only happens once a year It only happens once a lifetime Make the most of it Second just to being born Second to dying to What else could you do? |

The boy done wrong again
Hang your head in shame and cry your life away The boy done wrong again Hang your head in shame and cry your life away Are you ok now? Are you ok now? On Saturday I was an angel shining fair You shone louder, longer You put my shine to shame Put me to shame now Put me to shame What is it I must do to pay for all my crimes? What is it I must do? I would do it all the time All I wanted was to sing the saddest songs If somebody sings along I will be happy now The woodland spring will put the darkness from your thinking If this town's your sinking ship Then you know where to jump Talking dirty, for a hobby it's fine So pour another glass of wine I'll think of England this time All I wanted was to sing the saddest songs If somebody sings along I will be happy now |

There's a portrait
In a back room Which I keep for days upon Which I relent And gaze for hours on The muscle, skin and bone of some Imaginary friend. So how about it? Show me please how I Will look in twenty years And let me please Interpret history In every line and scar That's painted there in front of me. It doesn't matter what I'm thinking What I tell myself to do I'll end up calling. I stay in to defrost the fridge Now the kid has gone to bed A feeling of dread At least when she's around The trouble's there It's worse to wake up with her Falling round the room. Listen Johnny, you're like a mother To the girl you've fallen for, And you're still falling Listen Johnny, you're like a mother To the girl you've fallen for, And you're still falling And if they come tonight You'll roll up tight And take whatever's coming to you next |

After all that you've done boy, I'm sure you're going to pay In the morning you come to the ladies salon To get all fitted out for The Paperback Throne But the people are living far away from the place Where you wanted to help, it's a bit of a waste And the puzzle will last till somebody will say "There's a lot to be done while your head is still young" If you put down your pen, leave your worries behind Then the moment will come, and the memory will shine Now the trouble is over, everybody got paid Everbody is happy, they are glad that they came Then you go to the place where you're finally found You can look at yourself, sleep the clock around |

We lay on the bed there
Kissing just for practice Could we please be objective? Cause the other boys are queuing up behind us A hand over my mouth A hand over the window Well, if I remain passive and you just want to cuddle Then we should be ok, and we won't get into trouble Cause we're seeing other people At least that's what we say we are doing How are you feeling? I don't think you can be dealing With the situation very well You take a lover for a dirty weekend, that's ok But when it's over You are looking at the working week in the eyes of a gigolo You're kissing your elbow You're kissing your reflection And you can't understand why all the other boys are going for the New, tall, elegant rich kids I'll admit it is a bitch, kid But if they don't see the quality then it is apparent that You're going to have to change Or you're going to have to go with girls You might be better off At least they know what they're doing We lay on the bed there Kissing just for practice Could we please be objective? Cause the other boys are queuing up behind us A hand over my mouth A hand over the window Well, if I remain passive and you just want to cuddle Then we should be ok, and we won't get into trouble Cause we're seeing other people At least that's what we say we are doing |

I've got a secret I can't keep
I've been talking in my sleep Talking to myself in dreams But I don't understand the code I've tried, but I don't know What any of the secret means I saw a witch in the corner It haunted me in the day There's something darker than midnight Underneath the A I'd like to sit down in the shade Maybe drink some lemonade Sit and just be quiet and breathe But I'm a vicious little boy My head makes too much noise And something there won't let me be I'd like to sing to the record I heard the radio play But I've been stuck on the flipside Underneath the A I'm on the flipside of the day This could be the place to play But I'm stranded on the flipside here I'm on the flipside of the sun Here's the place for having fun But I'm frozen by a nameless fear I found a hole in the vinyl I fell through it one day There's something filled me with horror Underneath the A Underneath the A |

Down there in the wind and the sirens
Down there in the city below What they need is keeping its silence Way down under the New York snow Under the New York snow And up here I read in the papers They say the night will fall to seven below And I read safe by the fire My guilt is covered in New York snow Covered in New York Snow A broken ring is all they have They never could indict me And though my brave detective tries The thing that would convict me Is under the New York snow He breaks his back, he lies awake He tries so hard it moves me But one thing's still beyond his grasp The answer to this mystery Is under the New York Snow Down there in the wind and the sirens Down there in the city below What they need is keeping its silence Way down under the New York snow Under the New York snow |

I thought I'd teach my robot to write all my songs And I'd send him out into the morning to see what he could see - Just to roll around the city, and store it all up in his memory Then when he got back he could cut up the drum breaks Make the loops I thought I'd teach my robot to write all my songs And I sent off for the book that told me how to re-arrange its circuits I bought all the new bits it said I would need Then I opened my robot up And I got to work I thought I'd teach my robot to write all my songs And I spent days soldering - Till the whole house smelt like the Paris metro In summertime And I was driving on by the thought Of how I would have the time just to live When he made all the loops And when finally I was finished And I switched him back on Nothing happened He didn't work at all And now I've spent months on him Hours and hours every day And a lot of money too And he just lies in pieces in the corner of the room Totally useless |

Here comes the girl who changed my world
With a rock and a feather, Now I've got to tell her- That when you're stuck and out of luck, When you can't make the bird sing There's only one thing to do: You cut your money hair, Cut your money, Cut your money hair. Cut your money hair, Cut your money, Cut your money hair. Someone will pay, we'll be okay, There no need to worry, We'll get the money. You know this street has lost its beat, And people are saying That we're not paying our way. So cut your money hair, Cut your money, Cut your money hair. No-one else will care, Cut your money, Cut your money hair. You know it's only fair, Cut your money, Cut your money hair. Cut your money hair, Cut your money, Cut your money hair. One day in time the sun will shine, We'll be out of trouble, Out of trouble. But today there's bills to pay, So pluck up your courage, Grab your courage and cut. And cut your money hair, Cut your money, Cut your money hair. Ah, don't be so square, Cut your money, Cut your money hair. You've got a lot to spare, Cut your money, Cut your money hair. Cut your money hair, Cut your money, Cut your money hair. Here comes the girl who changed my world With a rock and a feather, Now I've got to tell her- That when you're stuck and out of luck, When you can't make the bird sing There's only one thing to do. |

Juniko sent us electronic mail from Japan
In September She said that the moon was getting bigger there That the typhoons had passed And now it was time for moon-watching in Japan She brought us a cloth rabbit, in a clear box And wrote on the card that they have a legend in Japan: That the rabbit in the moon bakes rice cakes When the moon gets bigger In September She told us to sit the cloth rabbit by the window And to watch the moon from there at night But the moon didn't get any bigger here In September |

Me and the Major could become close friends cause we
Get on the same train and he wants to talk to me Me and the Major could become close friends cause we Get on the same train and he wants to talk But there is too much history, too much biography between us Me and the Major don't see eye to eye on a Number of things, he'll take a guy like me and then Me and the Major don't see eye to eye on a Number of things, he'll take a guy like me And put him in the army Cause the Queen's own army makes a man of you But he doesn't understand and he doesn't try He knows there's something missing and he knows it's you and I We're the younger generation, we grew up fast All the others did drugs They're taking it out on us They're taking it out on us Me and the Major are from different worlds, but if I get stuck in the lift it's always with a toff Me and the Major are from different worlds, but if I get stuck in the lift it's always with a man Of noble standing who looks down on me like I was never born I think the Major's going quite insane, he goes Along the pavement and comes back again, oh yeah I think the Major's going quite insane, he goes Along the pavement and comes back again Like he is on parade, and he is on parade At least he thinks so Now he is swapping his tent for a sheltered home He doesn't have a family, he is living alone He remembers all the punks and the hippies too And he remembers Roxy Music in seventy-two He doesn't understand and he doesn't try He knows there's something missing and he knows it's you and I We're the younger generation, we grew up fast All the others did drugs They're taking it out on us They're taking it out on us They're taking it out on us I want a dance, I want a drink of whisky so I Forget the Major and go up the town Because the snow is falling |

Lovesick on a sunny afternoon
You are tired of stopping in You are waiting for the time Mayfly, woken up when skys are clear I don't mind you coming near Keep me company till she comes again You are the one who's privy to I am the one who's making do Because you saw him in the park Because you saw him at the bridges with the people in the park Cana was the start of something big You were there in the beginning You were there to see him play Mayfly, woken up when sky's are blue I don't mind the sight of you Keep me company till she comes around You are the one who's privy to I am the one who's making do Because you saw him at the celebrations standing at the side He had the moves to save the day But you would love him anyway Lovesick, it came back upon yourself You are the girl left on the shelf You are incapable of playing the fool Longing…so what's different today? You sent the boys and girls away You are concerned with matters lofty But puzzled so it makes you sick Your diary's looking like a bible with it's verses lost in time And lost in meaning for the people who surround you It's a crying shame You know it's a crying shame |

Mary Jo, sitting alone Drinking
tea, she just got home She wants, I don't know what you want Mary Jo, living alone Drinking gin with the telly on She wants The night to follow day and back again She doesn't want to sleep Well who could blame her if she wants? The night to follow day and back again She doesn't want to sleep Well who could blame her, if she sleeps? Well who could blame her, if she sleeps? Well who could blame her, if she's sleeping? Mary Jo, back with yourself For company, keep telling yourself you're young It'll happen soon Mary Jo, no one can see What you've been through Now you've got love to burn It's someone else's turn to go through Hell Now you can see them come from twenty yards Yeah you can tell It's someone else's turn to take a fall And now you are the one who's strong enough to help them The one who's strong enough to help them The one who's strong enough to help them all Mary Jo, you're looking thin You're reading a book, "The State I Am In" But oh, it doesn't help at all What you want is a cigarette And a thespian with a caravanette in Hull Because life is never dull in your dreams A pity that it never seems to work the way you see it Life is never dull in your dreams A sorry tale of action and the men you left for Women, and the men you left for Intrigue, and the men you left for dead |
